After finishing speaking, he trotted away, probably afraid of delaying Lu Qingjin's affairs, and almost fell down on the road, causing Lu Qingjin to shake his head again and again behind him, "This is?" Have you changed your mind? ”

Xiuzhu followed the instructions of her master and found five or six strong subordinates waiting at the door.

"Let's go, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ran walked to the gate, looked at a few people found by Xiuzhu, and nodded to express his satisfaction.

In fact, it's no wonder that Xiuzhu was stunned, it's just that Jiang Ran's dress is really too different from the past, so people almost can't recognize it.

A dark power suit, crisp and neat.

After Xiuzhu reacted, she said, "Master, I look straight at your dress." ”

"How? Your master is very good, isn't it? ”

Xiuzhu gave a thumbs up.

The two of them walked towards the river one after the other, followed by five or six strong men, which was quite imposing.

The group came to the river and carefully checked the origin of the water source, and one of them looked at it for a while, and then spoke, "Miss Jiang, if the villain is not wrong, the river here should flow down from that mountain." As he spoke, he pointed his finger to show everyone.

"Wang Er, how do you know? Don't let everyone climb in vain. Before Jiang Ran could speak, another subordinate hurriedly spoke.

Jiang Ran thought about it and nodded.

"Yes, if the direction is wrong, it's okay to climb in vain, I'm afraid of delaying Miss Lu's affairs."

Listening to everyone's words, the man named Wang Er scratched his forehead a little embarrassed, smiled, and said quite embarrassedly, "Miss Jiang doesn't know, the villain is poor, and when she was a child, she often sneaked here to take a bath, so she is familiar with this place, and she won't get lost with her eyes closed." ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were naturally relieved, Jiang Ran took the lead in the direction pointed by the man just now, and motioned for everyone to follow.

"Huh?" It may be that there are too many small stones by the river, and Xiuzhu's dress is inconvenient to walk, so she fell behind her.

Hearing Xiuzhu's exclamation, Jiang Ran turned around and saw her fall behind her, and hurriedly ran over and squatted down.

"Are you alright?"

"Master, I'm fine, I just accidentally scratched the skin, it's okay."

Jiang Ran looked at the wound on Xiuzhu's knee, "Why don't you go back first, the road to climb the mountain will not be easy later." ”

Hearing this, Xiuzhu was a little anxious, endured the pain, and said anxiously, "Master, I'm fine, you also said that the mountain road is dangerous, I don't worry about you alone." ”

He took two steps forward, pretending not to show the slightest pain in his expression, "Look, I'm fine." ”

Jiang Ran knew that Xiuzhu couldn't rest assured of herself, even if she said it, she wouldn't change, so she had to advise, "Then you must be careful yourself, if you can't persevere, don't continue, wait for us in the same place." ”

Seeing that Xiuzhu nodded, he ordered everyone to continue walking, and Xiuzhu also followed behind with her body propped up, without slowing down everyone's progress at all.

It's almost noon, and I'm sweating all over the mountain, and the people who are getting sunburned are a little dizzy.

Jiang Ran didn't bring a handkerchief, so he had to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "How long is it?" ”

It may be that the man's physical strength is really far better than that of the woman, Xiuzhu gasped slightly on the side, and the five or six men behind him, except for some sweating, could not see a trace of discomfort.

"We'll be at the top of the mountain in less than half an hour."

Jiang Ran nodded, found a stone, sat on it, and quickly recovered his strength.

"Then let's take a break."

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Xiuzhu also found a stone and sat down, "I'm tired, master, are you tired?" ”

Although Xiuzhu is a subordinate, the relationship between the master and servant is very good, and Jiang Ran usually does not tell her to do heavy work, so she is also a little physically exhausted at this time.

Jiang Ran nodded, as the fiancée of the head of the family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't lift her hands and shoulders, and she can climb such a high mountain at this moment, and it is already her limit to come here.

I desperately want to rest, and I don't even want to waste the strength to say a word.

Seeing Jiang Ran like this, the subordinates were afraid that they would have to rest for a while, and they didn't plan to sit, so they found an open space and sat cross-legged on the ground.

The whole team rested for about a quarter of an hour.

Jiang Ran felt that he had eased up, stood up, found that his head was a little dizzy, shook his head, and waited for the dizziness to disappear, maybe he was too anxious to get up just now.

Seeing Jiang Ran standing up, the subordinates got up one after another and asked, "Miss Jiang, can we go?" ”

Jiang Ran looked at Xiuzhu on the side, and hesitated for a while.

Xiuzhu was afraid that she was very tired at the moment, and her head was growing little by little, which made Jiang Ran feel a little funny, walked over, and whispered in her ear, "Xiuzhu, get up!" ”

was in a daze, a spirit, seeing that everyone was resting, Xiuzhu immediately stood up, "Let's go." So saying, he walked on.

His head was dizzy, his eyes were black, and he didn't take two steps before he fell.

"Xiuzhu, be careful." Jiang Ran didn't notice anything, reached out to help Xiuzhu, and found that her body was a little heavy, and she didn't check it for a while, and she also fell backwards.

Seeing this, the subordinate hurriedly reached out to pull.

was in a hurry, and when Jiang Ran reacted, Xiuzhu had accidentally fallen down for a while.

Jiang Ran pushed everyone away, knelt on the side and shouted, "Xiuzhu! But there was not the slightest response.

Yes, she fell, and naturally she didn't hear Jiang Ran's shout.

The subordinates were afraid that Jiang Ran would be excited, so they pulled her and were unwilling to let go.

"Why don't you hold her?" Jiang Ran's eyes were wet, no one may know that Xiuzhu has always been with her, and her status in her heart is not just a maid who serves people.

"The road here is too narrow for us to cross."

"I'm sorry, please punish Miss Jiang."

Jiang Ran froze, "What's the use of discussing these now?" Looking at the direction of the top of the mountain, she still chose to turn around and go back.

"Let's go down the mountain, when we get to the bottom of the mountain, I'll go to the patriarch, you tell people to look for Xiuzhu, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die."

When I went back, there was one less person in the group, the atmosphere was depressing, and no one spoke along the way.

The pace was hurried, and it took only half the time to descend the mountain than to go up, and we reached the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Ran knew that he had promised Lu Qingjin to help her check the water source on the top of the mountain, so it would definitely be too late today, but it was about Xiuzhu.

She fell into the canyon, and she couldn't care about anything else.

Hurriedly ran to Liu Ming's yard, Jiang Ran rushed in directly, took Liu Ming's hand and walked outside, "Quick!" Save Xiuzhu. ”
