Chapter 1: Shock

Next Chapter

In early winter, on the official road of Lin'an City.

The sound of horses' hooves clattered, and a carriage was surrounded by four or five guards, walking sparsely. The man who drove the horse was an old man with a gray beard, and the whip in his hand swayed around his legs, jolting with the carriage.

A team of people didn't say anything, and there were few people on the entire official road at the moment. The warm sunlight casts light and shadow through the dappled leaves. The side curtains of the carriage suddenly opened, revealing a pair of almond eyes crooked, looking around curiously.

"Miss! We're almost out of the official road, and we're about to arrive at Xiuyuan City. The tone was cheerful, the voice was crisp, and she seemed to be a girl who happened to be in her prime, and she smiled innocently at the woman in red with a veil on her side.

Yao Qingluo glanced at the girl helplessly, supporting her head diagonally with one elbow on the window frame, the sunlight spilling on her cheeks through the wooden frame, adding a layer of warmth.

"When you get to your aunt's house later, you should be careful, don't jump away like this. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you. ”

The girl stuck out her tongue and smiled embarrassedly. raised his hand and scratched his head a few times and said, "I know that Miss will definitely protect me, otherwise who will give you a summer silk breeze and warm your hands in winter." ”

Yao Qingluo has always doted on girls, and even took the initiative to let girls have the same surname as her and give her the name Yao Baoer. It is also an honor in Yao's mansion. Bao'er is also loyal and serves the young lady with all her heart. The two are more sisters than master and servant.

Yao Qingluo raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, chuckled a few times and did not answer, turned her head and continued to look out the window. Bao'er looked out for a long time, and after a while, she felt bored.

"Miss, madam, she specially asked you to participate in Miss Cousin's wedding on behalf of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this time and again, the delay on the road will take a few months, and I don't know if I can catch up with the group of flowers when the time comes." Bao'er said angrily.

Although Yao Qingluo is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has always been praised in Beijing, saying that she is beautiful and wise, and it is suitable for her family. But life in the house is not very satisfactory. even reduced to the point where she is now driven to her aunt's house thousands of miles away to participate in her cousin's marriage. I stopped by to celebrate my aunt's birthday.

The two have not moved for many years, and at this moment, Yao Qingluo rushed forward, and she didn't know what the situation would be, but she was not so uneasy.

"I couldn't catch up with the group flower meeting, so I weighed her intentions," Yao Qingluo said lightly.

Her biological mother died early, and she didn't get a name until she died, and she passed to Mrs. Lap not long after she was born, and it happened that Mrs. happened to give birth to a daughter at that time. The two were born on the same day. Nowadays, the treatment is very different. I don't know how her biological mother who died early knows about it.

The anger on Bao'er's face became more and more obvious when she heard this, and Yao Qingluo couldn't cry or laugh. Raised his hand and patted the back of her hand a few times, as a gesture of comfort. Bao'er held Yao Qingluo's hand with her backhand, and her soft palm couldn't help rubbing. The fingertips gently fit a visible red mark on the back of the upper hand and rub back and forth. Aggrieved:

"Miss must have suffered a lot when she was a child, but you are the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion! How could Madame do that. No matter how much she obstructs Miss from returning to Beijing, can her arrogant daughter marry a golden beetle son-in-law! ”

This red mark is carefully said but it has nothing to do with Mrs. When she was a child, Yao Qingluo was weak and almost took a breath of medicine. When she was a child, when a maid fed her medicine, she accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl, and the hot medicine spilled on the back of her hand, leaving this red mark of burns.

Her father was distressed at the beginning, visited famous doctors all over the place, and even made a special trip to the emperor to ask the imperial doctor to see for her, but in the end it was all fruitless. But her father's name as a loving father is famous in the capital.

"Bao'er" Yao Qingluo spoke up to stop Bao'er's chatter. Nunu chin gestured out of the carriage.

When she went out of Beijing this time, her wife only sent six guards to accompany her, and only one dumb uncle and Bao'er could be regarded as Yao Qingluo's people who knew the roots. I'm afraid that what Bao'er said will be taken by someone with a heart to arrange. She won't be able to do anything yet, but Bao'er is just a maid so far, if Mrs. makes up her mind to take care of Bao'er. She is not currently capable of fighting it.

Bao'er is also a clever person, seeing this, she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her big watery eyes blinked with a fluttering look, an innocent look.

Yao Qingluo reluctantly raised her hand, lightly scraped the tip of Bao'er's nose, and was about to speak again, when the shaking carriage suddenly stopped. Bao'er lifted the curtain, Yao Qingluo looked up, and saw green mountains rolling around, and the clouds and mist of the mountains were like green yarns covering half of the mountains. On the contrary, it is more quiet, a different kind of beauty.

But this is obviously not Xiuyuan City.

"Dumb uncle? Did you encounter something? Yao Qingluo lifted the curtain and said loudly.

The dumb man made a few sounds, and then jumped off the wheel, and the sound of the horse's whip breaking through the air came, as if to drive the horse forward, but it was useless to come down several times, and the horse snorted anxiously, and the four hooves kept stepping back and forth in place, as if they were afraid of something, and did not dare to come any further in any way.

Yao Qingluo frowned, looked sideways at Bao'er, and Bao'er got up and got out of the carriage to appease the horse with the dumb uncle. The guards were leaning lazily against the trees, with no intention of helping. Yao Qingluo glanced at the guard in disgust, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

The horse suddenly took a few steps back sharply and neighed. The carriage shook suddenly, and Yao Qingluo accidentally sat down, holding the frame with both hands to stabilize her figure. Just as I was about to get out of the car to help.

With a "click", the branch above his head snapped, and the horse narrowly avoided the falling branch, and suddenly Bao'er screamed. Yao Qingluo looked intently, only to see a colorful spotted python swaying its upper body, hissing and spitting snake letters and turning its head.

It's as if I've been stunned.

The spotted python is as thick as a bowl, and most of its body is wrapped around the broken branches, almost impermeable. Yao Qingluo had no doubt that the branch was crushed by it. And it's because the horse suddenly stopped.

For a while, everyone's eyes seemed to be still, and the children of the family who grew up in the capital since they were children had never seen such a huge beast. Everyone was stunned for a while, and a strange panic surged in their hearts for some reason.

The python tilted its head, neighed and slowly swam towards the carriage, the horse suddenly raised its body, Yao Qingluo slammed into the back of the carriage, her head hit the window lattice, and a dull pain hit.

The rest of the crowd came back to their senses, and Bao'er exclaimed, "Save Miss!" What are you doing standing? The dumb man rushed up directly, grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, and caressed the horse's neck with the other to try to appease. But the horse just wanted to run quickly, the carriage kept jolting, and Yao Qingluo was hit with a lot of meat. Barely supporting the seat with one hand, and grasping the window frame with the other, trying to get up.

Several guards drew their knives to surround the carriage as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to make a rash move. Bao'er was in a hurry and couldn't stop stomping her feet, her pretty face flushed.

"You're quick! Hurry up!"

As soon as the words fell, a guard slashed at the branch with a big knife in his hand, thinking that if he stabbed down, the snake would lose half its life if it didn't die. But there was a sonorous sound of weapons clashing. The blade of the knife actually opened a small opening, but the python was unharmed.

The python shook its head, looked at the guard who cut it, and opened its bloody mouth. The guard came to his senses and screamed in fear. Hurriedly took a few steps back. shouted: "Demon... Monsters, monsters! "My legs trembled, and I was already terrified.

The python flicked its head disdainfully, and continued to crawl slowly up the wheel, but the horse was so frightened that the dumb man could barely grasp the reins. Yao Qingluo tried her best to climb in front of the car door, just facing a small head, staring straight at her with round black eyes.

"Shhhh

Yao Qingluo swallowed her saliva, her scalp tingled and her back was cold. Don't dare to act rashly.

"Bao'er, dumb uncle, don't act rashly, I'm fine."

The rest of the guards didn't step forward easily no matter what, and Bao'er was so angry that she pulled out a guard's saber and stepped forward to cut it down. The horse turned sideways, and the edge of the knife was cut right on the reins, and the rope was split in two. There was a neigh, and the dumb man could no longer restrain the horse, and was overturned to the ground. Immediately, Ma Sa's legs ran wildly, and Yao Qingluo was knocked into the back of the carriage again.

"Miss!!" Bao'er shouted bitterly.

The python was stunned for a moment, then quickly spread its branches and swam quickly along the rut.

Yao Qingluo was lying on the car board, her sideburns were scattered, and her veil was left on the ground in the turmoil, showing her delicate face. Then she reached out and fumbled for the reins, trying to regain control of the horse. The reins hung aside and dragged to the ground, being dragged out of the trail all the way, Yao Qingluo calmed down and tried to reach for the reins, her body moved outward little by little, and the drooping green silk was blown by the wind and swept towards her cheeks.

Inch by inch the fingertips approached the reins, the surrounding scenery quickly moved backwards, and the horse lost control and had no choice but to stop and return along the trail. Yao Qingluo has never learned to control horses, and at this moment she is also black-eyed.

Two inches, one inch...... The fingertips will touch the reins, Yao Qingluo flipped her wrist and wrapped it around her forearm, and then held the car board with her other hand and half-knelt on it.

"Whatever god it is, bless me. Don't fold here" Yao Qingluo muttered, the wind blew across her cheeks like a knife, Yao Qingluo took a deep breath, pulled the reins of the horse hard, and let out a long sigh in her mouth.

Woo –

The horses neighed and their steps were flustered. But it's hard to stop for a while. Yao Qingluo raised her eyes and saw that there was a cliff not far ahead!

Yao Qingluo made another effort, and pulled the horse's reins back, the rough rope material left red marks on her fair skin, and the stinging pain came, Yao Qingluo didn't care about these small injuries, she still gritted her teeth and tightened her forearms, exerting all her strength.

Little by little, the precipice approached, and the horse realized something, and braked sharply on all fours, but the castration did not subside, and the carriage rolled forward. Yao Qingluo's heart mentioned her throat. Collapse all over. All she could see was that the jungle on the other side of the cliff was getting closer to her, and her strength was at its limit.

The horse's hooves stepped into the air, and the weightlessness suddenly fell downward, and the wheels rolled down the cliff together.

Yao Qingluo exclaimed, her fingertips turned white and tightly buckled the frame of the car. My life is at rest! A sense of sorrow hit my heart. Suddenly, a pair of blue beast eyes in the jungle opposite her were far away from her. The blue eyes were full of violent aggression, but Yao Qingluo felt a sense of familiarity.

"You ......"

The words drifted in the wind, and under the sense of weightlessness, Yao Qingluo's body kept falling, but her eyes were firmly fixed on the opposite cliff, and a black shadow was condescending.

It's a wolf, a huge wolf.

What the hell is this place and why is it so weird.

There was a loud sound, and then the water rushed to Yao Qingluo's nose and ears, and a feeling of suffocation came, under the huge impact, her limbs seemed to have lost their strength, and there was no room for struggle, so she could only let the cold water envelop her whole body.

His eyes blurred and his head buzzed. Vaguely, she saw a behemoth also fall into the water, slowly approaching her.

Followed by those deep and distant blue eyes.
