Chapter 34: The Bridge to the Past Breaks
The meaning of Ming Bijin is very simple, let Mrs. Wen Xiang do her best. If it's hers, it's hers, and it's useless if it's not her imposing.
Her casual words made Mrs. Wen Xiang and her sister change greatly in the second half of their lives, but this is all for later.
On the way to the valley, the uphill road is more difficult, and the downhill is easy but dangerous.
Ming Rujin called Ming'er and Hong'er back in due time, and hugged one by one.
Walking to the side of the bridge, Ming Bijin said goodbye to Mrs. Wen Xiang, and took Ming'er to wait for Qingyun and Octagon under the tree next to him.
The Bridge in the Valley of the Dead, as the name suggests, is built on top of the valley.
It is built from the wood on the mountain here, about five zhang and five long, two zhang and two wide.
The bridge is bustling with people, and under the bridge is a foot of turbulent water, which is crystal clear, but it is by no means as shallow as the eye sees.
As for today's spectacle -
It was those fish who were not affected by anything, but they collectively struggled against the current, advancing three and retreating, which made Ming Bijin feel funny and distressed.
There are a lot of people on the bridge, and the county lord of Qingping will not make a move here after all, and she is also considered to be in a safe place.
Left and right didn't see Qingyun coming, and there was a faint trace of uneasiness in her heart, when Yi Ming'er broke free from her hands and squatted down to play with the caterpillar, she didn't stop her.
When she came back to her senses, she saw that Ming'er had already run out from under the tree at some point, so she went to look at it, and ran to the other side of the bridge.
"Ming'erβ"
Ming Rujin hurriedly shouted, raised his feet to chase after him, and before he could go down from this higher tree slope, he caught a glimpse of an apricot yellow figure on the other side of the bridge.
Ming Ruyu, she is not grounded, why is she here? And what she is holding in her hand is the star anise.
Where is Qingyun?
Ming Rujin's thoughts turned a thousand times, but his feet did not stop at all. got on the bridge and only looked ahead, but I didn't know who pushed it, so the whole person planted under the bridge.
In a hurry, a cold hand grabbed her wrist, and Ming Rujin grabbed the slender wrist as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, but when she raised her eyes, she found that it was Mrs. Wen Xiang.
She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her arm strength is okay, and after throwing Hong'er to her sister, she pulled Ming Rujin up with both hands.
Xu is movement here is too big, and the flow of people on both sides quickly receded.
"Sister Ming, are you okay?" Mrs. Wen Xiang's goose egg face was full of worry, and after pulling her, she couldn't help but pinch her arm that had not been moved for a long time.
However, Ming Rujin didn't have time to say thanks, and even he was still panicked, but his eyes had already begun to look for Ming'er, or Ming Ruyu's figure.
The figures were chaotic, and the more Ming Yijin couldn't find it, the more anxious he became, and his feet had begun to move to the other side.
"Sister Ming, don't worry, let's help you find ...... together"
Before Mrs. Wen Xiang's words fell, the middle of the bridge suddenly broke, she grabbed the broken bridge with one hand, and pulled it with the other, but it was empty.
When Ming Rujin fell, she saw Ming'er who broke free from Ming Ruyu's arms on the shore, and she shouted: "Go back-"
But Ming'er didn't care about it, and his foot was already empty.
Ming's eyes were about to split, but he couldn't do anything, and he fell into the water with a thud......
Ming Ruyu was panicked on the surface, and reached out to Ming'er, seemingly slowing down, but in fact it was just a show.
He even pushed the octagon on his side, "Go and pull Brother Ming." β
But a little child in Octagonal, how could he have so much strength, not only did he not pull Ming'er down, but he also fell down.
Seeing that it had been solved, and the child was not worried, with a sound of "Amitabha" ringing in everyone's ears, an earthy yellow figure swept by.
When Ming'er and the eight corners of the water, he fished out his hands, grabbed the crook of his arm, and jumped onto the shore with his toes on the water.
Only then did everyone realize that it was Master Huiming who had arrived.
This old thing, it's really bad and good!
Ming Ruyu's eyes rolled slightly, glared at Master Huiming hatefully, and then went to pick up the two children with a distressed face.
The child is fine, as long as Ming Yijin is dead, no one can stop her way.
But before she could finish laughing, another dark gray swept in front of her eyes and threw herself into the water.
She froze in place, not figuring out why he was here, if he wasn't in the imperial capital, why would he appear here?
"It's An Guohou!" Mrs. Wen Xiang had already recognized who the person who had entered the water was.
Everyone was in an uproar.
It all shows that Bijin is the next cousin's wife, and her status is not as good as before.
But now it seems that the rumors are not true. At least a large number of people speculated that An Guohou's postponement of the fulfillment of the marriage contract with the county lord of Qingping must be for the sake of the concubine of the Ming family.
The county lord of Qingping, who was hiding in the crowd, trembled with anger.
"It's not that he won't be back until three days later, why now?"
The county lord of Qingping had arrogance in his voice, which frightened the palace maid next to him and wanted to kneel down as soon as her legs and stomachs turned.
But she couldn't, as soon as she knelt, she exposed the location of the county lord.
However, she didn't react, and the county lord of Qingping would not let her go, and a backhand slap made her cheeks crimson, "Waste, it's all waste!" β
"County ...... Master, let's go. The palace maid said tremblingly.
"Let's go?"
The county lord of Qingping also wanted to leave, but she was worried about Xu Jingxian's safety, "Let's go see An Guohou's son." β
Ming'er was frightened, and still in her mind. seemed to be stunned, he didn't dare to cry, and his eyes were dull and he held Master Huiming's hand.
Except for Master Huiming, no one recognizes it, including Ming Ruyu, let alone the county lord of Qingping who has only seen one or two sides.
The county lord of Qingping glanced at Ming Ruyu, both of them were waiting for news here, but they didn't expect that this wait would be three days and nights.
Ming Bijin didn't know water in his previous life, and he didn't have time to learn in this life.
After she fell into the water, she saw that when Ming'er fell, the string of hand beads given by Master Huiming on her neck hung on a protruding bridge pile to borrow strength, and then Master Huiming came and took him into his hand.
At that moment, she was relieved.
It doesn't matter what he thinks, as long as Ming'er is safe in the hands of Master Huiming, then Xu Jingxian will definitely protect him after he comes back.
After relieving her strength, she lost her desire to survive, she only felt that her limbs were numb and weak, and she didn't even have the strength to struggle.
Before she lost consciousness, something grabbed her waist, and then the scent of rosewood was tangy, as if he had returned......
She felt like she had a long dream, in which she was alone in the darkness and staggered like a rootless pinch.
She heard Ming'er's cry, but couldn't open her eyes.
She heard the laughter of Ming Ruyu and the county lord of Qingping, and couldn't help but think of the picture of Ming'er being covered to death, she was so anxious, but her limbs couldn't move, as if she was imprisoned by something.
Suddenly, it was the sandalwood fragrance accompanied by a hint of warmth that started from her forehead and spread throughout her body.
There seemed to be Xu Jingxian's whisper in his ears: "Jinjin, I'm sorry, I'm late......"
