Chapter 17: Falling off a cliff
She hurriedly pulled the curtain and looked around. The road is lined with lush shrubs and sky-high poplar trees, and the bumpy dirt road beneath your feet.
"This is not the way to the palace at all, who the hell are you?" Ji Lianmei asked.
"The one who killed you." The coachman replied, turning his head slowly, and the scar on his jaw was particularly glaring and terrifying.
This scar........ Ji Lianmei recalled that on the day of King Wu's birthday banquet, He Ji, the guard with a knife standing beside him, also had such a scar.
"Who are you? Someone close to His Majesty? ”
"Yes, the princess is really smart. But alas, today, is your death. ”
"Your Majesty asked you to kill me?
He Ji didn't talk, but sped up the speed of the carriage.
Ji Lianmei fell back into the car because of this sudden acceleration.
Since he is the emperor's old man's man, he should be the one who wants to kill me. But why did he kill me? This kind of taste of being hunted down by her biological father has mixed feelings in Ji Lianmei's heart.
The carriage was speeding in the direction of the cliff. It seems that he not only wants to kill Ji Renmei, but also wants her to disappear along with the corpse.
"I'm sorry, Princess Ji Lianmei, I'm going to be here, and I'm going to send you on your way." He Ji slowly pulled out the sword beside him, the cold sword was against Ji Lianmei's neck, and the air was as cold as if it was condensed.
Ji Lianmei knew that no matter how much she resisted, she would not be able to escape from He Ji. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, waiting for He Ji to cut down the sword and end her life.
Mom, I'm sorry...... I can't wash away your grievances for you, and I can't give you a pension to the end....
With a muffled grunt, a little hot liquid spilled on her chest.
It's like..... Not my blood.
She opened her eyes, and a long sword pierced He Ji's chest, He Ji's eyes widened like copper bells, and the sword was raised above his head.
With a pop, He Ji fell beside her and died.
It wasn't the first time that Ji Lianmei had been close to a corpse, so she didn't shout like the last time, but she felt a tumult in her stomach, and she couldn't help but reach out and cover her mouth.
The man outside the car withdrew his sword and pulled back the curtain. Ji Lianmei looked up and looked out.
Ji Yucheng ...... How could he be here.
"You're alright." Ji Yucheng asked her with a smile.
"It's fine." Ji Lianmei shook her head.
"Then, this man ....."
"I avoided his vital point and now just fainted from blood loss. Don't be afraid...."
She noticed that Ji Yucheng's face was unusually pale, her voice was getting quieter and quieter, and cold sweat broke out slightly on her forehead.
"You, you're ......."
"It's fine." Ji Yucheng sat down slowly, and slashed the axle connected to the carriage with his sword.
One time, two times, the axle gradually loosened, and the speed of the car slowly decreased.
Ji Yucheng said to Ji Lianmei: "The carriage has slowed down, you can be saved by climbing out of the back window." ”
Ji Lianmei was about to do what he said, but she thought it was wrong, and turned back.
"Why don't you go along?"
She lifted the curtain and saw that Ji Yucheng's legs were trembling uncontrollably, as if she was frozen, unable to move.
"What's going on?" Ji Lianmei crouched down to see if there were any injuries to his legs.
"It's useless, princess, this is a disease that I have carried since I beat my mother's womb, and once it happens, my body will be like frozen and unable to move." Ji Yucheng smiled.
Could this be....... ALS? Ji Lianmei thought to herself.
Once this disease occurs, it not only affects normal exercise, but also affects the respiratory and digestive systems, and eventually dies of respiratory failure. Even with today's medical technology, ALS cannot be completely cured.
At this moment, the runaway carriage hit the stones on the side of the road, and with a sharp jolt, a broken wooden board under the carriage pierced deep into Ji Yucheng's leg.
But he seemed to be unconscious, so he just pushed Ji Lianmei away hard: "You go quickly, if you don't leave, both of us will die." By this time, his vision was already blurred.
Did you lose too much blood.......
"I won't leave, you fell into such a situation to save me, how could I leave you and run away by myself."
Ji Lianmei is afraid of death, but she is by no means the kind of person who has no heart and lungs and steals her life.
The cliff is approaching, and the vehicle is still moving forward with inertia.
Ji Yucheng took advantage of Ji Lianmei's look in the direction of the cliff and pushed her out of the car with all her strength.
"Ah......h
Ji Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The front wheels of the carriage were already suspended in the air, and the whirring cold wind blew the cheeks a little painfully, and the abyss hidden under the clouds and mist was like the devil's minions.
Ji Yucheng gritted his teeth and pulled the wooden board out of his leg, and the bright red blood immediately stained the white clothes.
No, it's too late......
Ji Yucheng fell with the carriage, and Ji Lianmei's shouts came from overhead.
He had surveyed the terrain here. At the bottom of the cliff, there is soft, elastic grass, so it shouldn't be difficult to save your life.
Ji Yucheng smiled slightly, thinking: If you really die here, it can only be regarded as the will of heaven.......
As long as you're alive, though, that's fine.
Ji Yucheng's eyes were slightly closed, and in a haze, he seemed to see a figure flying towards him.
The woman's white clothes are like plain, like the wind blowing the jade tree, the snow is wrapped in qiongbud, and under the red face of the ages, it has faded away from the cheesy and tiredness. Her face was clear and ethereal, otherworldly, her body was shrouded in a layer of light smoke and mist, as if it were real and illusory, the wind of the cliff messed with her long hair, and her clear eyes shone with determination.
"Ji Yucheng, I don't like to owe favors to others the most, I will never leave you and run away by myself."
At the same time that the carriage fell, Ji Lianmei jumped down without hesitation.
Ji Lianmei grabbed the placket of his clothes and put her petite body under Ji Yucheng.
Ji Yucheng, you saved my life, and I also saved your life, so that the two of us will be cleared.....
In the darkness, the woman's desperate and resentful questioning voice wafted, "Xi Yucheng....... Why do you want to kill me? Just for that ridiculous throne? I won't forgive you, never ....."
Ji Yu opened his eyes fiercely, sweating like rain. As far as the eye can see, there are furniture made of wood and bamboo. Outside the window, the cold wind blew the leaves on the trees all over the ground, and it seemed to contain a chaotic charm, accompanied by the smell of dust, which made the whole sky reveal a kind of irritability and oppressive impulse.
Ji Lianmei's mournful shout, her eyes overflowing with blood and tears, and her hateful gaze are all so real.
One of his hands was pressed against his heart, and his head was congested with dizziness. He gasped for air and laughed self-deprecatingly.
Is this feeling of fear? When he crawled out of the pile of dead people and suffered from ten thousand insects, he didn't feel this way. Now he was terrified by the hatred of a man for him.
"Stinky boy, you're awake." With hearty laughter, a person slowly walked in outside the door.
This person is holding a white porcelain medicine bowl, with a childish face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he is grinning, and his pure white beard is gently fluttering with the wind. He staggered to the side of Ji Yucheng's bed with a cane of eight immortals, and said:
"You've been asleep for three days and three nights, and you're finally awake."
Ji Yucheng recalled that he fell off the cliff with Ji Lianmei and lost consciousness after that.
"Thank you seniors, dare to ask seniors who are ......"
"Me?" The old man proudly knocked on the Eight Immortal Staff, and his voice also raised a lot, "My name is Medicine Immortal, and I am the person with the highest medical skills in the world, even if Bian Que is reborn, Hua Tuo is alive, it is too far behind me!" It's your luck to meet me, otherwise even the gods won't be able to save you. ”
After listening to his introduction with an extremely narcissistic component, Ji Yucheng asked, "Senior Medicine Immortal, may I ask where the girl who fell off the cliff with me is now?" ”
"She? She was so badly injured that it took me a lot of effort to save her life, and now she's lying in the room next to you. If you want me to say, she treats you with such affection and righteousness, if she hadn't protected you with her body, I'm afraid, you wouldn't have woken up. ”
Ji Yucheng lowered his eyes and bowed his head in contemplation. After a long time, he spoke: "Senior, can you take me to meet her?" ”
The girl lying on the hospital bed had lost her vivid face and turned pale. Dressed in a white plain suit, the station was stained with dust and blood. The exposed part of the collarbone is a large and small scar.
Ji Yucheng sat on the edge of the bed and took Ji Lianmei's hand.
So you have a quiet time, too. This look is much cuter than when you were willful and messing around. However, such a girl is not your Ji Lianmei.
"Medicine Fairy, do you have a way to wake her up." Ji Yucheng asked.
The medicine fairy looked embarrassed and said, "Method.... Not for nothing. ”
"You say it."
"In the depths of this mountain stream, there is a cold pool. The four seasons are cold and biting, and the bottom of the blanket is a treasure of countless treasures. It's a pity that although this treasure is good, it must be taken back. I have seen many people who are hungry for profit go to the cold pool to dig treasures, but they are injured by the cold of the cold pool and die in the pool, and none of them are spared. ”
"Please also ask the seniors to lead the way for Yucheng."
"Stinky boy, you have thought clearly, this is going to kill you." The medicine fairy stroked his beard and said to him.
Ji Yucheng's eyes still did not leave Ji Lianmei, he smiled indifferently, leaned over, and landed an understatement kiss between her foreheads.
"Wait until I get back."
The medicine fairy took Ji Yucheng to a secluded forest at the foot of the mountain. Just when Fang stepped into this forest, Ji Yucheng felt a cold wind blowing in his face.
"Look, this is Hantan. All you have to do is dive to the bottom of the lake and find a thousand-year-old ice lotus to save the girl. ”
Ji Yucheng hesitated for a moment, then regained his smile and approached Hantan step by step.
At this time, it is only the season of late winter and early spring, the weather is already cold, coupled with the cold atmosphere of the cold pool, at this temperature, it is already difficult to stand here for half an hour, let alone enter the water.
The cold wind was blowing in his face, but Ji Yucheng's face did not change until his body touched the pool water, and he frowned slightly.
The medicine fairy thought to himself: What kind of harsh training did this stinky boy have undergone before, and he can be so calm in the face of such extreme cold. I'm afraid it's not easy.........
At this time, Ji Yucheng had arrived at the center of the cold pool, and the whole person was immersed in the pool water.
It is the coldest here, and it is also most likely to grow a thousand-year-old ice lotus. Ji Yucheng took a slow breath and plunged into the deep water.
A quarter of an hour passed......... Half an hour passed........ There is still no shadow of Ji Yucheng in the pond.
For such a long time, even if you don't freeze to death by the cold, you must be suffocated to death.
