Chapter 16: The Mermaid Emerges
"Chuyun, save people!" Before the young man's words fell, the man and the horse swooped down the steep mountain wall, just behind the runaway carriage, the young man whipped the horse, constantly urging the BMW under the crotch to gallop forward, at the moment when he was about to catch up with the carriage, the young man let go of the reins, flew up, stepped on the horse's back, jumped up, and the next foot happened to fall on the top of the carriage canopy, in the blink of an eye, a turn, the young man was already standing on the wheel, both hands clenched the reins snatched from Qiao San's hands. The reins tightened rhythmically, the carriage gradually gained control, ceased to rampage, and slowed down, until it finally stopped before reaching the top of the mountain.
Qiao San jumped out of the car, looked at the cliff behind him, his heart palpitated, his legs trembled slightly, he stood in front of the car with shortness of breath, and said to the young man with his fists in his fist: "Thank you for saving your life!"
"Girl, slow down." Chunling, who came back to her senses, hurriedly helped Qiao Xiya, who was pale in the face, and got out of the car tremblingly.
Qiao Xiya endured the fear in her heart and bowed down: "Little girl, thank you for saving your life!"
"Girl, please get up." The young man stretched out his hand to help Qiao Xiya up, and the blood on Qiao Xiya's forehead stung the young man's eyes, "Chuyun, bring the gold sore medicine." ”
Chu Yun, who had just caught up, panted and led two horses to stand behind the young man, and he took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to the young man.
"The wound on the forehead will be healed with this." The boy handed the small porcelain bottle to Chunling.
"Thank you, Childe." Qiao Xiya was slightly blessed, "I don't know the benefactor's name." ”
"Girl, call me Bai Ning." The boy smiled slightly.
"Bai Gongzi, please bow to the little girl again!" Qiao Xiya gave a deep salute to thank Bai Ning for saving his life.
"Xiya, Xiya, are you okay?" Yao Mingxi was late, and he anxiously helped Qiao Xiya to look up and down carefully.
"Brother Mingxi, I'm fine, thanks to Bai Gongzi who came to the rescue." Qiao Xiya smiled and shook her head.
"Thank you, Brother Bai, for coming to the rescue." Yao Mingxi clenched his fists and bowed his hand, gave a deep salute, and then took out a silver ingot from his arms, "A little bit of a small courtesy, not a respect, please Brother Bai must accept it." ”
"If I am greedy for money, why should I save you?" Bai Ning pushed away the silver that Yao Mingxi held in front of him, "This money should be kept for this girl to ask for a lang to see if she is injured." Bai Ning paused, and then said, "I don't know how you ran to such a remote mountain, where are you going?" ”
"Huimeng County." Chunling took Bai Ning's words.
"Coincidentally, we're going to Huimeng too." Bai Ning smiled, "If you don't mind, why don't you go with us?" Bai Ning smiled and sent an invitation to Qiao Xiya.
"If Bai Gongzi thinks that we won't drag you down, then let's go together tomorrow." Faced with the suggestion put forward by the life-saving benefactor, Qiao Xiya really couldn't refuse, not to mention that now in the barren mountains and mountains, it would be much safer to travel together.
As he spoke, the sun had swayed and sunset, and the red sunset lit up half of the sky. Bai Ning looked at the sky: "Chuyun, go find some firewood and light the bonfire before dark." Let's spend the night at the top of the mountain."
Hatsuyun answered, and walked towards the bushes next to him.
"Looking at Brother Bai's conversation and behavior, he looks like a child of a rich family, I don't know what Brother Bai is doing in a poor place like Huimeng?" Yao Mingxi led the horse and walked slowly to the top of the mountain side by side with Bai Ning on the official road.
Bai Ning was stunned, and his eyes immediately dimmed: "Go and find my sister who ran away from home."
"How did Brother Bai know that Sister Ling was in Huimeng County?" Yao Mingxi asked.
"Alas......" Bai Ning sighed, his eyes looking at the blood-soaked sunset on the horizon, "My sister was abducted by a long-term worker recruited by the family. The family wanted to repair the back garden, so my father asked the housekeeper to hire some people, one of whom looked beautiful, and knew that he couldn't do rough work at a glance, and he didn't plan to ask for him, but later he said that his home was from Huimeng County, and there was a sick old mother at home who was anxious to ask for money to buy medicine, crying and begging us to leave him. My mother had always been kind-hearted, so she agreed. But who would have thought that he would win his sister's heart at some point, his father naturally disagreed, locked her in the embroidery building, and drove the man out overnight. But the next night, when the maid went to deliver the meal, she found that her sister was no longer in the house. ”
"So you think that person kidnapped Ling Mei?" Qiao Xiya's voice came from behind Bai Ning.
Bai Ning looked back at Qiao Xiya and nodded: "Whether it's or not, I'll take a look."
"What if it's not in Huimeng County? Maybe Ling Mei was just playful and didn't go out of the city......"
"No," Bai Ning interrupted Yao Mingxi, stopped, and looked directly at Yao Mingxi, "I have a strong premonition that she is there." ”
Looking at Bai Ning, a trace of sadness suddenly rose in Qiao Xiya's heart. If he really found it in Huimeng County, perhaps, he would never be able to bring his sister home again.
"Let's go, let's talk about it after tonight." Bai Ning saw the fire on the top of the mountain, the sad look on his face faded slightly, and he barely showed a smile, "Maybe tomorrow when I arrive at Huimeng, I can see my sister." A light flashed in Bai Ning's eyes.
Crash! The sound of water broke the silence of the night. Under the moonlight, the scales shone with a strange light, and looking along the scales, a huge fishtail swayed helplessly in the water, and there seemed to be a trace of blood scattered in the water.
A pair of hands obsessively stroked the scales, and a voice as old as a dead man came out of his mouth: "Don't struggle, don't struggle, I know you hurt, be good, bear with me, when this skin grows on you, it will merge with your legs, and you won't hurt." Hahahaha...... "The evil laughter echoed in the quiet night sky, and it was creepy.
"Hmm......" The sound of fear and despair was as if someone had blocked it with a thick quilt, and it was indistinct. With the sound, the fishtail struggled, swayed, and splashed in strings of water, splashes and tears, slid off the pretty face, and fell back into the huge barrel.
With a squeak, the wooden door in disrepair was opened from the outside, and a man with a black mask walked into the wooden house, and by the moonlight from the window lattice, the masked man saw the graceful figure of the girl in the barrel under the window, the slender and white skin seemed to be glowing in the moonlight, the wet hair blocked the spring light on the chest tightly, the girl's lower body was not wearing an inch, but there were no legs, only a fishtail rippling in the water of the barrel.
The masked man looked at it for a moment, and a sneer of indistinct meaning came out of his throat: "Alive?" The cold voice made the girl tremble.
"Whether you live or not, you'll have to wait two more days to find out." The hand stroking the fishtail stopped, and the old man's voice was mixed with a hint of excitement, "If we live, we will really become immortals!" ”
