Chapter 3: The Flickering Night (14)

For a moment, she felt like the world was spinning. She couldn't remember what she told her eldest cousin, as if her eldest cousin hadn't asked her anything from beginning to end. In fact, he wanted to ask, and she didn't have much to say, because she had expected it before she came, and it was a fruitless effort. But she was still trying her best. At this time, she vaguely knew in her heart that she had to find another suitable way to rescue Dai Mengyuan.

She had never been so afraid, afraid that he would never come out again, that she would never see him again.

And his persistence is the source of her fear.

"Get in the car. When I get home, I'll call you. Zhao Zongqing instructed Jingyi.

Jingyi got into the car a little abruptly, and when she said goodbye to her cousin, she still felt that she was acting normally, but when the car drove away from the gray wall and on the way to the city, she began to feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart. The day was hot and gloomy, as if water could be wrung out of the air.

Jingyi took off her hat and wiped the dust off her forehead.

It's just that I wiped it, and the handkerchief was stained with loess, and I still felt dirty.

Zhao Baozhu, the driver of the Zhao family, asked her: "Miss Ten, do you want to stop and rest?" He could see that she was feeling uncomfortable.

"Out of the way." Jingyi said. It's not early, and after such a long delay, Wuzhi may be in a hurry...... It's late to get home, and I don't know what awaits her. But strangely, she wasn't really worried. Seeing Meng Yuan, she only felt that no matter how bad it was, it was nothing more than that......

The roof of the car crackled, and she came back to her senses, and it turned out to be raining.

The rain was heavy in an instant, and it seemed to be covered with yellow gauze all around.

The torrential rain streamed on the ground, rushing over the dirt road. This section of the road is not very smooth, and the road ahead is being built, and there are potholes. Baozhu drove cautiously and complained a few words. The windshield wipers on the front windshield creaked and couldn't withstand the heavy rain, and the road ahead was not very clear.

"It's raining too much, the road is not easy to walk, why don't you stop by the side of the road, Miss Ten?" Bao Zhu was about to discuss with Jing Yi, when a carriage ran out of the sudden oblique spur in front of him, and he stepped towards them on a rampage. The groom dragged the galloping horse in front of the car in fright, and the pillar twisted the steering wheel in a panic to dodge.

The car swerved sharply to the north of the road and almost crashed into a tree on the side of the road. Under the violent shaking of the body, only a click was heard, and the car suddenly tilted to the side.

Jingyi was thrown aside by the rickety car and hurriedly stood up.

"Oops." Baozhu said, rolling down the window and looking out. The pouring rain turned into a yellow mud pool, and the front wheel of the car sank into the mud puddle, and he tried to push the car door to go down to check, but the car door could not be opened. He looked back at Jingyi and asked, "Miss Ten, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine. What's wrong? Jingyi asked. She looked out the back window of the carriage, and the carriage was speeding away in the rain waterfall, and the carriages and pedestrians avoided one after another, and suddenly the carriage and the horses overturned to the ground...... She heard the neighing of the horses in pain, and the panicked cries of the people, and she tried to see clearly, the rain was so heavy that there was a blur ahead.

"I had to get out of the car and find someone to lift the car out. Miss 10, don't move in the car yet. Zhao Baozhu said. He tried to push the door, but the front wheel was stuck in the mud, and the door was only open and could not be pushed again.

Seeing this, Jingyi said, "I'll go down and find someone." Not only was she thinking about finding someone to get the car out of the mud puddle, but more importantly, she felt that there must be someone in front of her who needed her help.

"Miss Ten!" Zhao Baozhu wanted to stop her, but Jingyi had already opened the car and got out of the car.

Her snow-white leather shoes stepped into the rain that flowed into a stream, and suddenly disappeared above her feet.

She hurriedly opened her umbrella and ran along the side of the road.

Her clothes were half-wet from the rainstorm, and her hair was wet.

There were some people not far ahead, and she thought it was probably where the carriage had overturned. She hurriedly ran over, separated the onlookers, and went in to take a look, and sure enough, the car was overturned. The galloping horse fell to the ground, his forelegs had been broken, revealing his pale leg bones, and the groom also fell out of the cart, and was now kneeling beside the wounded horse, crying bitterly.

She rushed forward, not paying attention to the fact that someone was trying to stop her, and said to her, "Miss, don't go any further." The man held an umbrella, and with his arms outstretched, a wall stood in front of her.

Jing Yi looked behind him and said, "Is anyone hurt?" I have learned first aid and can ...... emergency"

"No one was hurt. It's just that the horse broke its leg. The man looked at the Jingyi under the umbrella and said.

"That's good." Jingyi didn't look at him, and the wounded horse screamed, which made her worry - she saw another person next to the weeping groom checking the horse's injury. The man was dressed in a light-colored suit, without a hat, and his hair was very short, and the people who followed him took umbrellas to protect him from the rain, but he waved his hand rudely to block him. The rain was rolling down his neck, and he didn't care.

He crouched down, rolled up his sleeves, and touched the horse's neck.

Although she was not a veterinarian, she knew that the horse was so badly injured that it looked like she would not be able to stand up again...... She looked at the horse struggling in pain in the rain slurry, and the groom who kept wiping his eyes with his sleeve, and suddenly felt a kind of difficulty in her heart. The wounded horse suddenly let out a long roar and wailed.

Jing Yi involuntarily turned her face, unable to bear to watch the blood gradually spread on the ground as the torrential rain hit.

But I couldn't help but care about the injured horse, and I still had to look at the past.

The man standing in front of her saw her intentions and turned slightly to the side.

Jing Yi saw that the man shook his head at the groom, which meant that the horse was not saved.

Sure enough, the groom immediately cried loudly: This horse is to support the family, it is the family's mouth, and I don't know how to hit the evil today, just now it was obviously running well, and I was so shocked when I didn't see the car driving on the opposite side...... His cries were a little chilly in the rainstorm.

In Jingyi sounds especially.

The man in the suit beckoned, and several people who followed him began to disperse the onlookers.

The man who had always been in front of Jing Yi whispered at this time, "Miss Ten, please take a few steps back." ”

Jingyi looked up in surprise. The other party called her Miss Ten, she thought it must be someone she knew, but when she looked at it, she only felt a little familiar, and she was stunned for a while: this person was neatly dressed, wearing a beige linen three-piece suit, white leather shoes and a roll-brimmed linen top hat, and he was a very elegant gentleman, tall and thinβ€”the other people standing behind him were dressed similarly to him, and they must have been peers...... Jingyi nodded, and retreated to the side without a trace, keeping a little distance.

The man smiled disapprerovingly when he saw her being guarded. He turned around and stood in front of her.

Jing Yizheng didn't know why he was like this, so he heard a "bang" gunshot, and as the onlookers exclaimed, the wounded horse screamed, and fell to the ground softly.

Jingyi froze, staring at the corpse of the horse washed by the rain, and the blood that spread farther and farther along the current, she raised her hand to wipe the rain from her mouth...... The gentleman standing in front of him turned to look at her and said, "Miss Ten, you better go ahead and take shelter from the rain." It's raining so hard, beware of catching a cold. ”

Jingyi shook her head and asked in a low voice, "Why did you kill it...... It's cruel......"

"Miss Ten, for a horse, it is the most cruel thing to not be able to run anymore. Besides, the groom didn't have the spare money to raise a lame horse. It's not a pet, it's an animal for a living. "The man was patient.

Jingyi wiped the drops of water from her face. I had to admit in my heart that this was something she couldn't have imagined.

She saw that the groom was still holding his horse and weeping bitterly, and the man who had killed the horse with his own hands took a stack of things out of his pocket and put it in the groom's hand, and then he turned around.

At this moment, he glanced at Jing Yi.

The rain was still rapid, and the splashes were like yellow-brown soot.

Through a veil, the two looked at each other quietly.

Jingyi still couldn't see his face clearly. I just think his silhouette is a little familiar.

She couldn't remember for a moment where she had seen such a person; And this person's eyes turned up and down on her, and he didn't seem to care too much about her - the person next to him whispered something, he turned his face to look at a gentleman of medium stature waiting next to him, and was about to leave, but was grabbed by someone's hand, it was the groom. He raised his eyebrows, and the people around him reacted more quickly, and immediately pulled the groom away.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This...... I can't ask for this......" The groom was startled at first, and hurriedly returned the banknotes.

Jing Yi clearly saw the impatience on the man's face, and made a gesture to the entourage, asking him to stop the groom from paying back the money.

Jingyi remembered that she should still have some money in her handbag, so she opened her handbag and took it out, and when she opened it, there were only a few yuan - all the money was given to the guards in the detention center.

She had already walked over to the groom, and was a little embarrassed with the silver dollars in her hand. Just when she was a little at a loss, when she looked up, the man didn't go away, he was still looking at her. She immediately felt even more embarrassed.

Jingyi really regrets that she didn't usually wear jewelry. At this time, in addition to the ordinary bead chain around her neck, she also had a bracelet on her wrist and a pocket watch in her pocket. The pocket watch was given by her mother, and there is a portrait of her inside, which cannot be left on her body. As soon as she had calculated it, she untied a chain from her neck and gave it to the groom, and then she still felt that the gift was thin, so she took the bracelet off her wrist and handed it to the groom, saying, "I'm sorry just now." It's raining so hard that we don't want to scare your horse. These, for some money...... You buy another horse. ”

The groom looked at her stunned. It seems that he doesn't understand why, and he doesn't know what to say, so he has to try his best to excuse himself.

"Take it." Jing Yi was embarrassed. I am no longer used to pushing and shoving in front of everyone. She was anxious to get out of this predicament and leave, when someone asked her, "Miss Ten?" What about your car? ”

"The car ......," Jing Yi remembered what she was going to do. Car! Baozhu was still waiting for her there, and she had to find someone to help. "Oops, noos, no!"
