Chapter 23: Fate
Gu Rong desperately wanted to float up, but he held down and dragged her mouth to cover her mouth, only to feel extremely uncomfortable, her chest was stuffy, she couldn't breathe, and she lost consciousness after a while.
The people on the shore were found in vain, and they dispersed.
The man dragged Gu Rong downstream for a distance, and then surfaced, but when he saw that the trees were towering and there was no light, he didn't know where it was.
The man dragged Gu Rong to the shore and looked around, only to feel that the jungle was silent, and the enemy should not be able to find it.
When he returned to the original place, the people on the ground did not move, and he looked at Gu Rong's nose and weak pulse, but he did not worry about his life, so he stopped caring about her.
The sky is getting brighter, and the horizon is getting brighter.
Gu Rong was wet all night, and she shrunk into a ball unconsciously in the early morning, the man was drinking water, listening to her muttering something in her mouth, she didn't know what to say, and when she got closer, the woman on the ground had a pale face, "Cold...... Cold ......"
"You saved Ming Bayi's life, and today I returned this favor, and there is no connection between us." He said to the people on the ground, and whether she could hear it or not, got up and wanted to leave.
Gu Rong was very cold, her hands were curled up in front of her chest, her hair was draped over her face in embarrassment, her dress was yellow with mud, and the handkerchief with bandaged ankles had long since disappeared, oozing a trace of blood.
The man's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his gaze fell on the short knife that had been exposed from her sleeve because of the movement she had just made.
He crouched down and picked up his dagger. The scabbard is as petite as a sword, the blade is about a foot long, and there is a small red gem embedded in the scabbard.
"Enlightening the Mandarin ......"
How could Qi Yuan be on her?
If you want to know the outcome, I'm afraid you can't leave her here to fend for herself.
When Gu Rong opened her eyes dimly, she found that she was being carried on her back, she was cold all over her body at the moment, and she was weak, remembering the situation of being dragged last night, she couldn't help but use all her strength, but she bit him on the shoulder.
The man didn't even frown.
Gu Rong's eyes darkened, and she fainted again.
He carried her out of the woods on his back, looking for his way back to the temple.
Gu Rong was woken up by the heat, she was half asleep, she only felt that the heat was unbearable, she couldn't help but stroke her forehead, and noticed that the beads of sweat on her forehead were stained on her hand, and someone in her ear was calling her eagerly, "Miss...... Miss ......"
When she opened her eyes, Xiao Cui's face came into view, and she said happily, "Miss, you have finally woken up." ”
"I ......" Seeing that the little girl was so ecstatic, how long did she sleep, "How long have I slept?" ”
"Miss has slept all day, do you feel better? Is there anything wrong with your body? Does your foot still hurt? ”
Leg?
Xiao Cui reminded her, and she felt a pain in her ankle at this time, ...... last night Gu Rong rubbed her head, only feeling that her brain hurt.
Xiao Cui saw her shaking her head and closing her eyes, looking very painful, so frightened that she quickly touched her forehead, tried the warmth, and then was slightly relieved, and said, "I'm scared to death, it's not burned." ”
This morning the young lady was sent back wet, and there was blood oozing from her feet, which scared her to death.
Gu Rong remembered the serious matter and asked, "How many people are there in Chunfeng and Qiuyi?" ”
Xiaocui helped her get up and sit at the table, "I came back at night, I heard that Miss was gone, and they all went out to look for it, and I just sent someone to look for it, so it is estimated that I should come back." ”
Xiao Cui said worriedly, "Miss has been hungry for a day's sleep, I have prepared something to eat, the temple food is light, Miss barely eats some, and when I go back to the house, I will definitely make up for Miss to make up for it." ”
Gu Rong looked at Xiao Cui, who had been busy since she woke up, and was puzzled, I don't know why, it was really difficult to find such a delicate and caring girl at such an age.
While eating, Chunfeng and several people had already received the news and returned.
"Miss!" Several people were shocked to see that her face was pale and her feet were still wrapped in gauze.
"It's all right, people?"
"September took people in the carriage."
She barely ate a little, lost her appetite anymore, put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Clean up, let's go home." ”
"Yes!"
The sun is setting.
There were only four people when Gu Rong and his party came, and when they returned, Wang Kui heard the news and personally brought a team of guards to escort them.
Xiao Cui helped Gu Rong to ride on the horse, and the woman was also going down the mountain with a few entourages last night, and when she saw her, she quickened her pace, and the woman shouted, "Miss Wang." ”
Gu Rong knew that she was calling herself, so she stopped the horse, and Xiaocui stepped forward to help her get off the horse.
Gu Rong smiled, "Madam." ”
The woman looked at her very happily and smiled kindly, "In a few days, there will be a poetry and literature meeting in the house, and Miss Wang must come." ”
Gu Rong nodded, "Then I'll thank Madame for her kindness first." ”
While she was talking to the woman, a man and a woman were walking down the bluestone steps, but the woman had a bitter face, her expression was wilting, and she didn't know what she was muttering.
"In this way, Madame should also be careful on the road, it is getting dark, be careful of exposure."
She was about to get on the horse, when she suddenly heard a woman behind her who was surprised and delighted, and shouted in a loud voice, "Sister Rong!"
I saw that the woman who was listless just now was suddenly excited, and she ran down the steps in two steps.
In this world, I am afraid that there will be no one else who is called this!
As soon as Gu Rong turned around, Xie Junwan had already pounced on her, pushing her back again and again, everyone was startled by her pounce, Xiaocui reacted quickly and hurriedly supported Gu Rong.
"Sister Rong! You! Why are you here!!"
Gu Rong smiled gently, and let her hold her, "It's only been two or three days since I returned to the imperial capital, and I haven't had time to see you yet." ”
Xie Junwan saw her, her heart was happy, her eyebrows were crooked with a smile, and she let go of her and said, "Farewell to Kangcheng, I always think about my sister in my heart, and I finally saw it today." After Xie Junwan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and pulled the man who had just walked with her, Gu Rong had naturally seen him, on the merchant ship, and last night, it was he who pulled her into the water.
Xie Junwan's movements were fast and big, and the man didn't want her to make such a move suddenly, and she was pulled so that she almost couldn't stand on her feet.
"Sister Rong, this is my brother, my only brother!"
The people on the side looked at it for some reason, like a scene where a sister was anxious to marry her brother.
Before Gu Rong came back to her senses, Xie Junwan hurriedly said, "Brother, this is Sister Rong!"
Both of them were puzzled by her enthusiasm.
Gu Rong suddenly felt that something was wrong, Xie Junwan did indeed have only one elder brother, the head of the Northern Yuan family, and the commander of the famous Xie family's army.
Gratitude!
She couldn't hide her emotions anymore, and looked at him in astonishment.
Xie Junwan looked at her brother with an impatient expression, annoyed in her heart, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Brother, this is the Gu family, Sister Rong!"
Gu Rong had repeatedly told her that she should not disclose half of the matter between her and Xie Yi, and the two knew each other, and they were not allowed to say half a word to Xie Yi, but at this moment, the two of them were standing in front of them, and she gave such an obvious hint, why did this smart brother suddenly become confused.
"Gu Jia...... Sister Rong?"
Family? Isn't she Wang Yan's sister?
The Qi Mandarin duck this morning was still in his sleeve, and the commander of the First Army, who had always been decisive and decisive, had a rare hesitation, "Gu Rong?"
Gu Rong was silent.
The slightly pale woman in front of her suddenly overlapped with the girl in her memory.
"Gu Rong?" He asked again, his expression became solemn, he was puzzled, he was not sure that the person in front of him was her.
Finally, she nodded, looked at him, and said, "It's me." ”
It's me, I'm the Gu Rong you think and guess.
Xiao Cui saw that her forehead was already faintly sweating, and she couldn't help but step forward with concern, and said, "Miss, you have an injury on your foot, and it is really not easy to get tired." ”
Wang Kui waited in front for a long time, and when he saw that there was no movement behind, he rode his horse, and when he saw his gratitude, he was also shocked, and turned over and dismounted, "Shizi." ”
He also saw Gu Rong's increasingly pale face, and supported her worriedly, "Miss, can you still hold on?"
Gu Rong endured the pain and nodded, Xiaocui helped her get on the horse, Gu Rong nodded at the woman on the side, she had roughly guessed who the woman was.
Xie Junwan moved to the side of the horse, a little reluctant, "Sister Rong." ”
Gu Rong touched her head, "I'm really a little uncomfortable today, I live in the palace, and you will come often in the future." ”
Hearing this, Xie Junwan nodded happily.
The group set off and disappeared into the avenue as the sun set.
"Let's go too." The woman spoke.
"Mother." Xie Junwan grabbed her, and the two got into the carriage.
"What does my mother think of you knowing the girl from the Wang family?"
Speaking of Gu Rong, Xie Junwan's whole person was in good spirits, "Mother, you are talking about Sister Rong, Sister Rong is dignified and generous, gentle and kind, and ......" And the martial arts are strong, not at all the weak appearance you see today.
Princess Xie was even more surprised, when did her daughter praise others like this?
Xie Junwan lifted the curtain of the carriage slightly, and her brother in front couldn't see his expression clearly, she retracted into the carriage, and after meeting Gu Rong, she became happy.
