Chapter 49: The Woman in the Woods
Zhao Bingyu grabbed her hand and asked with concern: "I'm fine, how are you?" Are there any injuries? ”
Jin Jiaojiao snorted and said, "My foot is twisted, and my knee seems to be broken." ”
Obviously it was just an ordinary statement, but Zhao Bingyu tasted some grievances from it. Ignoring nothing else, she quickly squatted down to help her check, her ankle was swollen with a big bag, her skirt was scratched into tatters, the environment was bleak, and she couldn't see the specific injuries on her knees and ankles.
He picked up Jin Jiaojiao's ankle, which was swollen like a bun, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
There was loneliness all around, and the blurred world seemed as if only they were left with each other. The care and care under isolation is the most deadly, and the heart suddenly feels like being pinched, and it is willingly uncomfortable. Jin Jiaojiao has a tough heart, and she can even hold a skeleton with her bare hands when she is alone.
However, the pain is dull, and someone always has to ask to realize the extent of the pain.
She nodded and replied seriously, "It hurts." ”
She felt that she was going to die of pain, and all the big and small wounds on her body began to scream at this moment, and it hurt and hurt, and her whole body hurt.
So she hopes that Zhao Bingyu will also be in pain, as if only by making him feel distressed and distressed, can she feel better.
At that moment, a cold and sarcastic voice jumped out of her mind and said to her: "Jin Jiaojiao, you're finished, he is neither the champion nor Tanhualang, he is nothing, just a civilian cloth who eats the soft rice of the Jin family!" You're willing to put yourself in the hands of a worthless gambler! ”
Then another voice from the bottom of his heart retorted, "But I'm also useless, am I? I like the moon in the sky, but the moon doesn't belong to me, now I have stars, why can't I be content. ”
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Bingyu put on her shoes, there was a hidden crisis here, and he had to take her outside to find a doctor as soon as possible.
Jin Jiaojiao came back to her senses and stretched out her palm in front of him, revealing the mottled abrasions on it that were scratched by sand and stones, "The palm of your hand hurts too." ”
Crying and crying, making trouble, so why not let her herself be more indulgent in this place where she does not see the light of day. As for those long-cherished wishes and vanities, leave them for later.
There is no eldest lady of the richest family in Bianjing in the world, and there is no Royal Highness of the Seven Princes on the edge of the royal family.
At this moment, there is only a fragile woman who is injured, and a man who is worried about her and cares for her, and the rest, Jin Jiaojiao doesn't want to think about it.
Zhao Bingyu leaned over to blow, looking like a favorite wife who couldn't do anything with her. The warm breath brushed through the palms of the hands, itchy, crispy and numb.
"Alright, we're going to have to get out of here, you can't afford to delay the injury on your foot."
"This forest is so weird, I just saw ......"
"See what?"
Jin Jiaojiao thought about it, she couldn't say that she saw a ghost, she didn't say the orange and yellow light spots that were chasing her, shook her head and said, "I mean the fog is too heavy here, you can't see anything, how can you get out?" ”
"I walked out of the miasma forest by following the direction of the wind, and following the direction of the wind may be the way out. Rest assured, we'll be able to get out. ”
Zhao Bingyu led the horse, bent down and picked up Jin Jiaojiao, ready to put her on the horse's back. The focus of the two was on each other, and they were disturbed by the miasma around them, so they didn't notice that a third person had appeared around them.
"Excuse me, is this hairpin yours?"
A hoarse female voice sounded from behind her, her voice low and muffled, and she spoke with great difficulty, as if the audio tape had been cut in half.
The two of them looked behind them together, and first saw a hand holding a red coral pendant, which was covered with many old scars of different lengths, and that hand was even rougher than the hand of the manservant who did heavy work at the Jin family's docks, and it was hard to imagine how much dirty and tiring work she usually had to do.
Holding a small lantern in the other hand, hanging lonely on her knees, Jin Jiaojiao slowly exhaled, it turned out that the orange and yellow light spot that was chasing her just now was it, no wonder it kept moving.
The woman's face was far away from the two of them, and it was covered in fog, so it was impossible to see clearly, and only a vague outline could be seen.
Zhao Bingyu vigilantly took Jin Jiaojiao into his arms, took the pearl hairpin in her hand and checked, it was indeed the one that Jin Jiaojiao wore when she went out in the morning, "We fell." ”
"Then return it to you, it's a pity that such a precious hairpin is lost."
This style of hairpin ring, Jin Jiaojiao said that there is also a basket, and if it falls, it will fall, and it is not a big deal.
Zhao Bingyu took the pearl hairpin into his arms, wanted to ask her about the way out of the mountain, but he didn't know how to call the other party, and after a moment's consideration, he said, "Why is the eldest sister alone in this dense forest?" ”
The woman didn't answer him, and said after a while: "You came to Qingcheng Mountain to see butterflies." It's been two years since anyone came here, presumably the two of them came from other places, and who would dare to come to Qingcheng Mountain now. ”
Zhao Bingyu was puzzled: "Listen to the meaning of the eldest sister, there were many tourists who came to enjoy the scenery in this Qingcheng Mountain before, why has it become the scene it is now?" ”
The woman suddenly stepped forward and raised the lantern high, and the two of them saw her face clearly, she looked thirty-six or seventeen years old, with good facial features, and it was not difficult to see that she was also a delicate and dignified lady when she was young.
It's just a pity that those eyes, the black eyeballs are basically eroded by the white iris around them, and the whole body presents a cloudy white, hollow, and blind girl.
If she is blind, why should she make a lantern? Jin Jiaojiao felt more and more strange here, whether the person in front of her was a human or a ghost? Zhao Bingyu sensed her nervousness and held her hand to reassure.
The woman still didn't answer his question directly, and said with a smile: "You are really bold, you didn't even inquire about Qingcheng Mountain, so you dared to break in." After a pause, he suddenly said seriously: "Do you know that this place is a hell that eats people and doesn't spit out bones?" ”
Jin Jiaojiao glanced at her, thinking that it was scary enough, you still came to create an atmosphere with oil and vinegar, do you think they die slowly?
"I've already been taught, eldest sister, don't talk to yourself, listen to our questions, or take us out directly." She snorted impatiently.
Zhao Bingyu's hand around her slapped her buttocks, Jin Jiaojiao shook sensitively, glared at him fiercely, and didn't understand what he meant by suddenly hitting himself, and it was still a spanking!
Did he think he could be so presumptuous when he found himself!!
Zhao Bingyu wanted to laugh when he looked at her angry little appearance, if it wasn't for the conditions, he really wanted to tease her.
"Wife, be restrained, don't provoke her." Zhao Bingyu approached her and bit her ear quietly.
Did she say something wrong? Why don't you converge?
Zhao Bingyu suddenly tightened her, and Jin Jiaojiao trembled again.
It's just that she is in the hands of others now, so it's better to keep a low profile.
The middle-aged woman was blind and couldn't see the ambiguous movements of the two in private, so she said to Jin Jiaojiao: "The girl is really bold, so come with me." ”
She didn't say where to go, Zhao Bingyu saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, although this woman's behavior was weird, they couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, but they couldn't stay in the forest overnight, not to mention that Jin Jiaojiao's injury couldn't be delayed, so it was better to find a populated place first.
So he hugged Jin Jiaojiao and followed the woman's pace.
