Volume 1 Dongchang Yan (Sweet Pet) Chapter 46 Jumping off the cliff
Priority: Get out of the way quickly!
While the two horsemen were discussing, Gu Yunxi staggered up from the ground, and the whip was thrown countless times in the air, and the crisp sound was endless.
The horsemen are also not vegetarians, and their bodies are nimble to dodge attacks, but they refuse to get out.
They had already seen that she had exhausted her tactics and was unable to do so, so they prepared to take her back and return to the Overseer.
Gu Yunxi saw through the enemy's conspiracy, since the road ahead was impassable, he had to run backwards, in short, he could not continue to fight the trapped beasts.
Gu Yunxi turned around and didn't run far before returning to the cliff. Suddenly stopped, she turned pale with shock, and stood frozen in place, not daring to move again.
The Xichang Ti riders abandoned their horses and followed on foot, facing Gu Yunxi, who had nothing to do, and they all looked like they were eyeing each other.
"Run, run!"
"Hehe, go back with a few brothers, our overseer will never treat you badly, haha......"
Gu Yunxi was short of breath and swallowed hard. After looking at the fierce enemy, he turned his head and looked down at the cliff, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Overseer β
Gu Yunxi closed his eyes hard, and two lines of tears squeezed out of his eyes.
If he was caught by Minglan, not only would he be insulted by him, but he would also use her to coerce Leng Qingtang into submission-
She neverβ
When he opened his eyes again, Gu Yunxi's expression was resolute, and his apricot eyes were aggressive. After sneering at her foe, she leaned back and fell off the cliff......
The riders were stunned for a moment, and one of them was the first to come back to their senses, with a stunned expression:
"Good ...... I really jumped down......"
The accomplices beside him couldn't help but tremble:
"How's this good? The Overseer has a word first, we must catch the ...... alive"
ββ
Leng Qingtang rode a ginger high-headed horse and trotted all the way through the golden and red dense forest.
Xiao Xiaoshen and Yuan Qian led the Dongchang team to rush out head-on, and saw the overseer hurriedly restraining his horse.
Xiao Xiaoshen shook the prey in his hand happily, and said to Leng Qingtang: "Overseer, Lao Shi and I have played a lot of game, and we have won the competition with Xichang!" β
Gu Yunxi was the only one in the team, Leng Qingtang's face sank like water, and he asked Xiao Xiaoshen in a hard voice: "What about Yun Guan'er?!" β
Xiao Xiaoshen was stunned, looked at Yuan Qian, and stammered:
"SheβShe's not with you......"
Leng Qingtang roared: "Don't go looking for it yet-"
I had never seen the Overseer so angry, Xiao Xiaoshen and Yuan Qian's bodies shook up, and when they pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, they suddenly saw a pony running out of the forest.
"Red smoke?"
Seeing that the horse's back was empty, Leng Qingtang's face immediately lost blood, his facial features were knotted, and he turned over and dismounted and pulled the reins of the pony.
The pony approached him, snorting incessantly, and the horse's head flicked and flicked.
Leng Qingtang realized that something must have happened to Gu Yunxi, and his expression was like pouring lead, stiff and dignified.
There is another team of people running out of the woods, it is the people of the West Factory!
Minglan was riding on the sturdy white horse, and the moment he saw Leng Qingtang, the color flashed on Minglan's injured demon face.
The atmosphere was suddenly urgent.
Within a few zhang distance, the people and horses of the east and west factories looked at each other silently, raised their eyebrows, and the air was surging with a sense of restlessness in silence.
The jujube pony kept swinging its head and snorting, and let out one or two suppressed muffled sounds from its mouth, looking extremely flustered. This point attracted Leng Qingtang's attention.
He squinted his eyes, stared at the bruises on Minglan's half-side cheek, and said clearly word by word:
"Let people go......"
Minglan smiled gloomily and pretended to be puzzled:
"What is Grandpa Leng talking about? The Governor did not understand. β
"Let Yun Guan'er go!"
"Yun Guan'er? What happened to Yun Guan'er? Lost? β
Minglan's treachery made it difficult for Leng Qingtang to suppress the extreme anger in his heart, and he angrily raised his horsewhip and pointed it at him, and said sharply:
"You release Yun Guan'er first, and then settle the account between you and meββ"
Minglan stared at Leng Qingtang's anger, and his smile became even more poisonous:
"There is indeed an account between you and me that has not yet been settled, but why are you so sure that this governor has taken your Yunguan'er?"
Leng Qingtang was speechless.
Indeed, no matter how human a horse is, he cannot speak. And the injury on Minglan's face alone is not enough to prove that Gu Yunxi's disappearance is indeed related to Minglan.
Instead of continuing to be pestered senselessly, it is better to go to Gu Yunxi as soon as possible. In late autumn, it gets dark early, so it's important to hurry.
Leng Qingtang looked directly at Minglan, got back on the horse with a muffled snort, grabbed the reins of the jujube red pony with one hand, and led his men to run into the mountains and forests.
Looking at the people of Dongchang hurrying away, An Hong approached Minglan and asked in a low voice:
"Overseer, that little cloud official...... Just dead? β
Minglan was also helpless, and his tone was quite regretful:
"Can you still survive jumping off such a high cliff?! It's all to blame for those useless wastes that have ruined the Governor's big deal! As soon as Yun Guan'er died, Ben Du lost the excellent witness to bring down Leng Qingtang. Alas, it's a pity that such a wonderful person. If he is alive, it will be the death hole of Grandpa Leng ......"
ββ
When Gu Yunxi woke up, he found that his body was wrapped in a stream of water. When the body moves, every inch of bone will be in severe pain, especially in the back, as if it has been hit by gravity, and the pain of bone shattering and separating is real.
Aren't you dead......
Soaking in the water, Gu Yunxi quickly combed through his memory, and gradually thought of the back and forth before he was chased by the Xichang Tiqi and finally forced to jump off the cliff.
At that time, she fell on her back against the cliff wall, and when she fell, her back hit several trees growing on the cliff, so that the dense branches acted as a cushion as she fell.
Eventually, she fell into the lake at the bottom of the cliff, and was blackened by the water, and then fainted.
After drifting along the current for a while, Gu Yunxi's body was blocked by a boulder in the middle of the lake, so that he was not swept farther by the current.
Gu Yunxi leaned against the boulder to ease his nerves, and then turned his head to look at the unfamiliar environment around him.
The mountains are steep, and the cliffs are hidden in the dense forest, occasionally revealing the outline of half or the entire mountain. The lake is so wide that you can't see the source or the end as far as you can see.
Gu Yunxi endured the pain in his body, supported him to swim to the lakeside, and staggered ashore.
He was already soaked, but he didn't have clean clothes to change, so Gu Yunxi had no choice but to wrap his arms around him, trembling step by step, and walking towards the unfamiliar jungle in pain.
At this time, it is getting late, the mist in the forest is thick and floating, and the occasional wet and cold evening wind blows.
Gu Yunxi couldn't help but panic in his heart. I don't know where I am, I don't know where the people from Dongchang are now, and I don't know if the overseer is worried about not finding her at the moment......
A desolation filled his heart, and Gu Yunxi forced himself to remain calm after shedding a few lines of tears.
If your heart is defeated by difficulties first, there is really no hope. Relying on oneself and successfully saving oneself is the only way to get out of the predicament in front of you-
When it was dark, Gu Yunxi suddenly saw a white shadow swaying behind a big tree in front of him.
Gu Yunxi was immediately alert. Touching his body with both hands, he couldn't help but say angrily: It's broken!
When he came, the bows and arrows around him were taken away by Minglan's people, and now only the short knife for self-defense is left.
Gu Yunxi was vigilant about the movement around him, and he took out a short knife from the placket of his clothes and showed his sharp blade.
The grass and trees moved slightly, Gu Yunxi immediately held his breath, and his right hand held the handle of the dagger fiercely.
White, shouldn't there really be ghosts and ghosts in this world......
Gu Yunxi forced himself not to scare himself, but his heart was beating faster and faster, and the sound of a drum kept stopping.
The sudden white shadow jumped in the air and ran in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes.
When she looked at it, it turned out to be a white deer, covered in fur like snow, unable to see a little variegation, white fluff wrapped around the pair of perfectly shaped antlers on the top of the head, emitting a sparkling brilliance in the dark, as if it was flowing bright silver.
The deer stood straight in front of Gu Yunxi, keeping a foot away from her.
Gu Yunxi stared intently at this prey sent to the door, and was overjoyed.
Silver Antlers β
Isn't this the ultimate prey that Emperor Jingxiao ordered to capture? As long as you get its antlers, you will be the winner of this hunting competition!
Gu Yunxi imagined that if he got the silver antlers this time and could go back alive to find the overseer and expose the crimes of Xichang Minglan in public, what a beautiful thing it would be-
Xu is eyes noticed the slightest glint flashing in Gu Yunxi's wide-open apricot eyes, the white deer turned his ears sensitively, winked at her, instinctively turned around and ran away.
Gu Yunxi put away the short knife and set off to chase after him, forcibly enduring the dull pain all over his body.
Walking through the dense forest and shrubs, falling and getting up countless times, my bare skin scratched by the sharp thorns of the vegetation. She stubbornly continued until she came to a halt in front of a strange cave.
The entrance to the cave is not too big, but it is enough for Gu Yunxi's figure to enter and exit at will. Outside the entrance to the cave were trees and grasses several people tall. In late autumn, most of the plants and trees have been dyed golden, and the whole person seems to be swimming in a golden dream world.
Traveling all the way, Gu Yunxi had long been no longer afraid, and while witnessing the quiet and comfortable scenery here, he also threw the distress of getting lost out of the clouds, and after a little hesitation, he staggered into the hole.
The pavement in the cave is potholes and hard, and the moss is slippery, and Gu Yunxi's soft boots will feel awkward when stepping on them.
From time to time, water droplets hit the top of her head. As she walked forward, she occasionally bumped into an unknown hard object on her forehead, causing her to suffer pain, and a low moan or two burst out of her mouth.
The light was really insufficient, so Gu Yunxi took out the fire fold he carried with him.
This thing has more layers of protection than the ones sold in the world, that is, an extra layer of oil-soaked horns is wrapped in the outside of the ignition straw paper, so even if Gu Yunxi just fell into the lake, the fire fold on his body will not affect his use when it encounters water, and it is a night walking appliance specially made by Dongchang.
After lighting the fire, Gu Yunxi saw the face of the cave clearly.
I saw that the top of the cave was not high, and there were stalagmites hanging upside down, no wonder it hurt her head. Cool drops of water fell down the stalagmites, dripping onto her head, face, and floor. The shapes of those stalagmites are strange.
After looking at it for a moment, Gu Yunxi didn't dare to delay any longer, and continued to walk towards the cave.
The cave was not too deep, and at the end of the twenty steps, the white deer was in the deepest part of the cave, his red eyes staring straight at the intruder, and he lowered his head and aimed a pair of sharp antlers at her.
Heh, want to fight? Okay, Hengzhu has died once, and there is nothing to be afraid of anymore!
Gu Yunxi took out the short knife again, bit the scabbard with his teeth and pulled out the edge, and threw the scabbard to the ground with a "pounce".
Just thinking about how to catch this crazy beast so that it wouldn't hurt its white deerskin, the deer's sudden hind hooves kicked forward hard, and rushed towards Gu Yunxi with all his might.
