18. Falling off a cliff
Seeing that both of them had fallen to the bottom of the cliff, the expression on the black-clothed face changed a few times, and finally turned to leave, leaving an empty sentence:
"Ignorance."
At this time, several people waiting outside the temple gate looked at each other: "Why haven't Your Majesty and Niangniang come out yet?" β
"I don't know, are you asleep in it?"
"Probably not, although Niangniang may fall asleep, but Your Majesty should not fall asleep!"
"I don't know, we don't have to wait and see, according to the rules, we can't go in."
A few people discussed, completely unaware that there was no one in the house at this time.
ββββ
On the edge of the cliff, there was a crooked tree with a thin trunk, as if it could be broken by a gust of wind.
And it was in this thin state that the tree had grown on the edge of the cliff for many years, and at this moment there were still two rickety adults.
Wei Yuxuan grabbed the protruding branch with one hand, and held Liu Yin's wrist with the other:
"Don't move, I'll take you up."
Liu Yin's eyes were red, she was not sad, but this scene always made her feel sad.
"Your Majesty, you ......"
Feeling that the force in his hand was getting looser and looser, Wei Yuxuan gritted his teeth: "Don't speak, I can't hold it anymore." β
Liu Yin pursed his mouth: "Then let go." β
She has also seen many ghosts who have fallen off cliffs and died, many of which are ghosts who have been abandoned and fallen off cliffs.
Now that he has encountered this situation, instead of letting him abandon himself, it is better to give up on him first, and he will have no face as a ghost in the future.
Thinking like this, Liu Yin wanted to break free from Wei Yuxuan's big hand. However, she didn't have the strength in her body, and she tried several times, but she couldn't break free of her hand.
Wei Yuxuan had to increase the strength of his hand: "What stupid words do you say, I am not that ruthless and unrighteous person." β
Unconsciously said "I" as "I".
Liu Yin's heart warmed, and before he could speak, he heard Wei Yuxuan say again: "Don't move, I'll take you up." β
Liu Yin's heart warmed, and he couldn't say anything if he refused, so he agreed: "Okay." β
Before the words fell, the branch in Wei Yuxuan's hand made a "click" breaking sound.
Wei Yuxuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly leaned up, wanting to climb up before the branch broke.
It's a pity that this idea fell through, and before Wei Yuxuan could make a move, the branch was already broken.
Wei Yuxuan wanted to grab the protrusion on the rock, but the result was that not only did he not catch it, but he also cut a few deep cuts in his hand.
In desperation, he held Liu Yin's hand tightly, and the two fell together.
Thankfully, there are many trees growing on the edge of this cliff, which reduces the impact of the two people's fall.
Neither of them knew what would happen after that, and they both fainted at some point.
At this time, the temple was already in chaos.
"You guys, go look for it over there, these people come with me."
Not only the four palace maids brought by Liu Yin, but even the timid coachman brought by Wei Yuxuan also took on a big responsibility at this time.
I saw him say to the people around him with a serious face: "This matter must not be spread to the outside world, otherwise people with bad intentions will definitely cause turmoil." β
"But how are we going to hide it?"
"Wait for me to send a letter, and send someone to find it." The coachman said as he pulled out the pen and paper in his arms.
Others lamented that he had brought all the information, but he didn't forget to ask clearly: "Isn't this known to outsiders?" β
"Naturally he is a trustworthy person."
The coachman wrote the letter, stuffed it in a small brass pipe, and whistled loudly to the sky.
A short time later, a bird flew in from afar.
After the coachman caught the bird, it became clear to the others that it was not just an ordinary bird, but also a ...... Big Bird.
The coachman stroked the bird's feathers, tied the brass pipe to the bird's ankle, and threw it into the air.
The big bird fluttered its wings and flew back as it had been, turning into a moving black dot in the air.
On a small stream, water meanders and flows.
The water was clear, but it was now stained red by the blood of two men on the stream.
The two people were richly dressed, but they were also torn in many places, and they were extremely embarrassed.
The rushing waters lead them to unknown places, and they themselves are unaware of it.
One of the men opened his eyes, his eyes flashed with a moment of dazedness, and then he was instantly awake, and hurriedly sat up, so that he would no longer drift.
At the same time, he also grabbed another unconscious woman and shouted anxiously:
"Liu Yin, wake up!"
Liu Yin did not wake up, still in a coma.
No matter how Wei Yuxuan shouted, he couldn't wake her up.
Wei Yuxuan was helpless, and with great effort, he dragged himself and Liu Yin ashore.
Wei Yuxuan tried to carry Liu Yin behind him, but his body was already out of strength.
Before he came ashore, he had exhausted all the strength of his body.
He had to sit on the ground and rest quietly, while keeping an eye out for his surroundings lest wild beasts and enemies were around.
The wound on his body had stopped bleeding, but it was also swollen with blisters.
In the midst of melancholy, there was a sudden burst of singing from far and near.
"When I went into the mountains, I saw vines entwined with trees,
When I went out of the mountain, I saw the trees wrapped in vines,
The vine tree is entangled to death,
Trees and vines are dead and entangled. β
Accompanying the singing came out was a simple and honest young strong man with a handful of firewood on his back.
When Wei Yuxuan saw someone coming, he suddenly became nervous.
When the strong man saw two wounded people by the stream, he hurriedly approached: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" β
Wei Yuxuan was not satisfied with this title, but still accepted: "Big brother, is there a village around here?" β
When the strong man heard this title, he was slightly stunned, but when he saw the gorgeous clothes on their bodies, he also understood a little.
"Come with me, I'll take you to our house to rest for a few days and recuperate."
Wei Yuxuan nodded and accepted the kindness: "Then there will be a lot of trouble." β
The strong man snorted, not quite understanding why rich people always make these false courtesies.
He put down the firewood in his hand and went to carry the lying willow shade on his back: "I have great strength, I will carry your daughter-in-law on my back." β
Wei Yuxuan wanted to stop it, but seeing that the strong man didn't mean to offend, he had to give up and wanted to pick up the firewood.
When the strong man saw it, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't don't, don't don't, you can't carry it, I'll come back and get it later." β
Wei Yuxuan was not hypocritical, put down his hand and followed behind the strong man.
In a short time they came to a small village, and near evening, every house was lit with smoke.
The strong man stopped in front of a small house that looked slightly better, and shouted inside:
"Mother, come out quickly, there are guests coming."
"Heyβ"
After a loud response, a woman with a happy face ran out of it.
When the woman saw the two so-called scarred guests, she was stunned at first, and hurried to help welcome them into the house.
The house looks small from the outside, but it's actually quite spacious inside.
The strong man went to a room with the woman and put Liu Yin on a bed.
The woman sat on the edge of the bed and looked carefully at the unconscious willow shade, and the old tears were full of tears.
"If my peaches were still alive, they would be so big."
The strong man's eyes also flashed with tears: "Mother, don't talk about this, it's all over." β
The woman cried for a while, and then slowly stopped crying: "Look at me, and talk about these things. β
Looking at the scars on Liu Yin's body, she patted her thigh: "This girl is really badly injured, I'll go get some water, Da Niu, you go find some herbs." β
The strong man, known as the Great Bull, answered, lifted the curtain and ran out.
