Chapter 39: No Regret
"Hey, don't scare me, Ruyi! Sister Ruyi! ”
At this time, Wen Ruyi didn't know where she went, she just wanted to go farther to find some firewood, who knows, she walked away, and then she couldn't find her way back, all around was the same, where should she go?
Oh my God, she's not going to die here before she finds a way back.
She walked back by feeling, but she couldn't get out of here, it was even more terrifying than a labyrinth.
The sun had set, and it was getting darker, for there was no light, and she could not move an inch now.
"It's okay, wait a minute, Zhao Xiao will come to find him."
Wen Ruyi kept cheering herself up, but now, when there was a birdsong in the distance, she would be scared half to death.
"Zhao Xiao, this girl, won't she really run halfway, won't she come?"
In fact, Zhao Xiao searched around for a long time, but she didn't find Wen Ruyi, so she had to go home first.
When she went home, Chu Hongze saw that she was returning alone, and her face changed instantly.
"Where's Ruyi?"
Zhao Xiao looked flustered, and stammered when he spoke: "I... She..."
Chu Hongze immediately understood that the situation should not be good.
At this time, Zhao Duo also came out of the house: "Don't worry, speak slowly and clearly." ”
"We were racing horses, and the one who lost was going to go to the mountains to collect firewood, and after I brought her over, I took the horse to drink water, and when I came back, she was gone."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Hongze pulled the reins in Zhao Xiao's hand and got up on the horse.
"Hongze, don't be impulsive, you'll be fine."
After saying that, he also went to lead his horse, and then hurriedly followed.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you only coming back now, what's going on? What about your brother and Hongze? ”
Aunt Zhao opened the door curtain, walked to Zhao Xiao's side, and saw her crying.
"What's wrong?"
"Mother, Sister Ruyi, something happened to her!"
After speaking, Zhao Xiao hugged her and cried loudly.
Chu Hongze rode the horse very quickly, it was very late now, and I didn't know where she went alone, she would be scared when she slept alone last night, and now she is alone in the mountains, will she cry?
Chu Hongze felt that the whole person was going crazy, during the day, he should insist, not let her and Zhao Xiao go, it should put her by his side.
He had never regretted it so much.
"Hongze!"
Zhao Duo chased after him, and when he saw Chu Hongze's lost soul, he was shocked.
"It's okay, she shouldn't have gone far."
Zhao Duo didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
Chu Hongze didn't speak until they came to the place where the Zhao brothers and sisters usually cut firewood, where there was a pile of firewood, according to what Zhao Xiao said, this should be picked up by Ruyi.
"Let's look around here."
As soon as Zhao Duo's words were finished, he saw Chu Hongze walking into the mountain, and Zhao Duo followed closely.
"Ruyi! Wen Ruyi! ”
It was dark inside the mountain, and he could only move forward by feeling.
After looking for a long time and shouting for a long time, he didn't see anyone, and no one responded to him, and gradually, his mood became a little impatient.
"Hongze!"
Someone came over with a torch, followed by Zhao Xiao, she didn't dare to look at Chu Hongze, and hid behind Zhao Duo guiltily with a torch.
It seems that she sent this torch.
Chu Hongze doesn't want to see Zhao Xiao now, it's not that he is narrow-minded, but that this time the matter is too serious, until now, he still doesn't know Ruyi's condition, if something happens to her, maybe he won't be at ease for the rest of his life.
"You take it, so you can see the road."
Zhao Duo handed him the torch in his hand, Chu Hongze took it, turned around and was about to leave.
"Let's look over there, and we'll meet up at the place we just came in."
I don't know if Chu Hongze heard it, Zhao Duo saw that he didn't answer, he didn't speak again, turned around and walked in the other direction.
Wen Ruyi walked for a long time, and finally stopped due to physical exhaustion and sat down against a big tree.
It's getting dark, and she is very emotional at this time, how good it would be if there could be a navigation here, she used to be a road idiot who relied on this to go far away.
Now it depends on luck, I don't know if Zhao Xiao, who has no conscience, will come to her.
She sat for a long time, and at last, she saw a little light in the distance, was anyone coming?
She wanted to stand up and cry out for help, but she had no strength, her whole body was up and down, and her clothes were cut open many times, some of which were scraped deeply, and they were bleeding.
The overexertion had made her no longer feel the pain in her body.
The light of the fire drew nearer, and the person with the torch walked briskly after seeing the man leaning against the tree.
Wen Ruyi gathered his clothes and raised his head: "Chu Hongze!" ”
She didn't expect that it would be Chu Hongze who would find her: "I thought I would die here." ”
Chu Hongze was in the midst of the surprise of finding her, and suddenly, he was bumped into his arms in the next second.
Chu Hongze took the torch a little farther away with one hand, and then hugged her back with the other.
Fortunately, he found her.
"It's okay, I'm here, I'm looking for you."
Wen Ruyi put her arms around his neck, using a lot of strength, as if she was afraid that he would walk away at any time.
"Chu Hongze, I have so much pain in my body."
Now, more and more, she felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
Chu Hongze let go of her, but she hugged him tightly and was not willing to let go at all.
"Obedient." He coaxed, "I'll look at your injuries." ”
"It's okay, I'll go back and rub some medicine myself, but it's a little painful now."
Wen Ruyi doesn't know why she has become so fragile now, maybe it's because she hasn't been alone in this dark environment for too long, or maybe it's because of Chu Hongze's concern.
Now, in this strange world, she can only trust him and rely on him.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
Wen Ruyi's tone was already a little crying, which made Chu Hongze very surprised, and wanted to go to see her, but she hugged him tighter.
"In the future, I won't let you go far alone."
Wen Ruyi thought of the lines between the male protagonist and the female protagonist in the TV series she watched before, and she said the same, she felt numb before, but now she finally understands why they think such words are very beautiful, because this is a promise, a promise between the two of them.
Like, something is different.
Wen Ruyi's originally depressed mood instantly cleared, and her laughter made Chu Hongze even more puzzled, why did she cry for a while and laugh for a while, it's really okay?
"Chu Hongze, let's go back."
Wen Ruyi let go of him and wanted to stand up, but he didn't have the strength to get up.
Chu Hongze handed her the torch in his hand, and then squatted down in front of her: "Come up." ”
Wen Ruyi happily lay down, and then the whole person was carried up.
Wen Ruyi held the torch high, and his other hand firmly held his neck.
Chu Hongze arrived at the entrance according to what Zhao Duo said just now, and the two of them were waiting for him there, and they were very surprised when they saw the people behind Chu Hongze.
"Sister Ruyi!"
Zhao Xiao ran over to look at Wen Ruyi, but Chu Hongze's face was not very good.
Wen Ruyi was very surprised, and actually called her Sister Ruyi, but today, she knew that she didn't blame her, she went far by herself, and then she was a road idiot, and she didn't know where she went.
"Yo, the little girl actually called me sister, I'm really flattered."
Seeing that Wen Ruyi still had the heart to joke, Zhao Xiao was relieved, but the guilt in his heart still did not dissipate.
Zhao Duo wanted to ease the atmosphere, stepped forward, and said, "Okay, the person has been found safely, go home, my mother is still waiting for dinner at home." ”
After that, on the way home, several people were silent, but Zhao Duo occasionally said a few words to Wen Ruyi, and the rest of the time, everyone was silent, thinking about their own affairs.
When they arrived at the door, Aunt Zhao was waiting for them at the door, and when she saw Wen Ruyi on Chu Hongze's back, she was obviously relieved.
"Ruyi, are you okay? Xiaoxiao She is just ignorant and has caused such a big disaster, I will let her kneel in the yard tonight and let her learn a lesson. ”
The corners of Wen Ruyi's mouth twitched, and she hurriedly interceded for Zhao Xiao: "Auntie, it's not Xiaoxiao's fault this time, it's me who went to the wrong place, don't blame her." ”
Seeing her say this, Aunt Zhao glared at Zhao Xiao: "You are not allowed to eat tonight." ”
A day passed in a thrilling way, and the small wound on Wen Ruyi's body was simply treated by herself, and she didn't know when she would be able to go back.
When Chu Hongze entered the house at night, Wen Ruyi asked him.
"When are we going back?"
Chu Hongze was unbuttoning his clothes, and his hand was paused: "I'll leave tomorrow." ”
Actually, Zhao Duo's side hasn't been arranged yet, but looking at Wen Ruyi's current state, he thinks it's better to go back first, lest something happen here, today's incident is enough to make him panic, and he doesn't want to experience such a feeling again.
"Are you done with your side of things?"
Chu Hongze was not surprised that she knew: "Not yet, but you can go back first, here, I will let Wei Feng come over to hand over." ”
"Or... Stay a few more days, and when you've arranged things here, we'll go? ”
Originally, before Chu Hongze entered the house, she was determined to leave tomorrow, but now that she knew that Chu Hongze's affairs here had not been completed, and he promised to go back tomorrow in order to accommodate her, she felt that she was too ununderstanding.
Worried that Chu Hongze would refuse, she said again: "And I have just reconciled with Zhao Xiao, she will definitely be reluctant to let me go." ”
"Okay."
Chu Hongze smiled and touched her head.
"Have a good rest, it's been a tiring day today."
Wen Ruyi nodded obediently, got into the quilt and lay down.
Chu Hongze looked at Wen Ruyi's back, the matter here should be tightened, after today's incident, he has always been worried about her safety, and listening to the news from Wei Feng, Chu Hongchen has also begun to make moves recently.
