Chapter 41 It's all Gu Yan's fault for suffering this undeserved misfortune.
Military office.
Gu Yan didn't get to eat lunch with Zhao Shuyi again, so he resigned himself to packing his things and preparing to go to the cafeteria by himself.
For the past few days, he has been waiting for Zhao Shuyi to bring him food.
Because she said she would send me some whenever she had time if it was delicious.
He thought all the food she cooked was delicious.
Is he too busy?
What is she busy with?
Gu Yan stood up, his heart suddenly skipping a beat.
He strode out of the office and headed straight for the family compound.
-
And at this very moment.
Zhao Shuyi is playing a game of "she runs away, he chases" with Cai Xiaoyue and her brother.
She never expected to run into Cai Xiaoyue on the mountain, especially since the other party was clearly after her.
Don't ask why, just go with your gut feeling.
Of course, one can also glean some insight from Cai Xiaoyue's fierce gaze and relentless pursuit.
Why are you chasing me?
Zhao Shuyi was panting heavily, her lungs aching. She was running ahead and had to clear a path for the two men. Her pants were torn, but she was gradually closing the distance between them.
If I can't outrun her, I can only try to reason with her.
They were chasing her so closely that she didn't even have a chance to enter the space.
Zhao Shuyi felt a little flustered.
Why are you chasing me?
"Why are you running? Stop right there!"
Knowing full well that they came with ill intentions, it would be a miracle if Zhao Shuyi stopped.
Instead of stopping, she ran even faster, all the while thinking of ways to fight back.
If all else fails, I'll just have to take out the hoe from my storage space. At worst, I can just say I brought it up the mountain myself.
First and foremost, you have to survive.
Seeing that the other person was getting closer and closer, she couldn't delay any longer.
Once Zhao Shuyi made up her mind, she leaned against the bushes beside her.
Her pupils suddenly contracted.
The feeling of weightlessness left her momentarily blank.
Zhao Shuyi's body was out of her control, and she rolled straight down.
At the last moment, she still did not enter the space.
Or rather, she has lost her most basic ability to make judgments and act; her mind is blank, and she no longer knows what to do.
The scene before her eyes kept changing, and by the time Zhao Shuyi realized what was happening, she was already lying in a ravine.
She felt like she had been brutally beaten all over.
The sun was blazing overhead, and there was nothing else around except for flowers, grass, and trees.
She couldn't see the people above her, nor was she sure if they could see her.
Not daring to act rashly, Zhao Shuyi simply drank some spiritual spring water and lay still on the spot.
I wonder if that fall damaged any internal organs, bones, or the brain.
After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Shuyi finally felt her heartbeat calm down.
Perhaps it was the effect of the spiritual spring water, but she felt much more comfortable.
She needs to go into the space to check her body.
Zhao Shuyi struggled to her feet, recalling what had just happened.
She had intended to hide in the bushes to avoid the two men's sight and retrieve her weapon, but who would have thought she would accidentally step into thin air?
Although I feel a little better now, my sprained ankle still hurts a bit.
Just as Zhao Shuyi was debating whether or not to heal her foot immediately, she heard a rustling sound from above.
Zhao Shuyi was startled.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
Even if they were coming to find him, they wouldn't just come down directly. Did he fall down by accident? Or was he throwing stones?
Before Zhao Shuyi could figure it out, she had already seen the source of the sound.
It turned out to be her basket.
Zhao Shuyi was at a loss for how to react.
When people are extremely angry, they can really be speechless.
Zhao Shuyi avoided the spot where the basket would fall, and the basket landed directly at her feet.
She took a look and saw that the herbs were still there, but most of the mushrooms were gone.
She had painstakingly picked those mushrooms, and she had deliberately placed them at the bottom, so it was impossible that they had fallen out accidentally and been taken away.
Zhao Shuyi took a deep breath, feeling annoyed.
She carried the basket on her back.
We need to find a way out.
Calling this small ravine a ravine is a bit of a stretch; it's more like a space formed by a giant rock in the middle of a cliff.
Two steps further out, and there was still a bottomless cliff. Just one look at Zhao Shuyi made her legs go weak.
She had no choice but to move forward, hoping there was a path ahead, at least one that would allow her to avoid the view from above and let her hide in the space for a while.
When Zhao Shuyi turned the corner and saw the red fruit in front of her, her eyes widened like saucers.
It turned out to be ginseng, and not just one plant.
Zhao Shuyi was a little excited, her foot slipped, and her heart jumped.
Not daring to get agitated any longer, Zhao Shuyi squatted down to calm herself down. Once she had calmed down, she steadied herself and walked towards the ginseng plants.
After observing her surroundings and confirming that there was nothing unusual, she put all the ginseng plants into her spatial storage.
I can take one home today, and plant the rest in my space.
She felt that ginseng grown in the space would be more effective than ginseng grown outdoors.
Zhao Shuyi was very excited to find ginseng. After putting the ginseng into her space, she couldn't wait to follow it in.
In that instant, a chill suddenly rose up on her back.
Zhao Shuyi stood there blankly for a long while.
Her heart is probably beating faster now than when she fell off the cliff.
Right where she had just stood, a venomous snake was flicking its tongue and peering around, as if searching for something.
Zhao Shuyi belatedly realized that a cold sweat had broken out on her back.
She was almost bitten by a poisonous snake.
The joy of receiving the ginseng was overshadowed by the fact that Zhao Shuyi collapsed onto the grass. After a long while, she began to examine her injuries.
Her polyester shirt was torn in several places, and she also had some abrasions, but they weren't too serious.
Recalling the pain she felt when she first fell, Zhao Shuyi felt that it must have been the spiritual spring water that healed her injuries.
She didn't clean her wounds and dirt, nor did she use the spiritual spring water again; these are all evidence.
This matter cannot be left unresolved.
Zhao Shuyi sat on the ground for a long time, constantly recalling the events of the day.
Did Cai Xiaoyue and the other person bump into him by accident, or did they know he was going up the mountain?
If it's the latter, how did they know?
Just thinking about it made Zhao Shuyi's expression even more serious.
After glancing at the ginseng and mushrooms in the field next door, Zhao Shuyi felt a little better; at least today wasn't a complete waste.
Otherwise she would vomit to death.
Zhao Shuyi quickly tidied up the things in her basket. She didn't dare to go out now, fearing that she would be targeted by poisonous snakes.
Most importantly, she had already seen it.
There was no way out in front of her. If she wanted to get out, she would have to look back to see if there was a way out on the other side. If there was no way out, she could only climb up or slide down.
Both are dangerous.
Gu Yan will probably come looking for her.
I wonder if he will be able to find himself, or if he will encounter poisonous snakes.
Zhao Shuyi's brows furrowed involuntarily.
As she thought about it, she got a little angry. It was all Gu Yan's fault. If it weren't for him, Cai Xiaoyue wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have suffered this undeserved disaster.
He should come looking for himself.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shuyi became more enthusiastic about her work.
However, she still mustered her spirits and started turning the soil.
She has already made arrangements for this area; she wants to expand two paddy fields and eight dry land plots.
It doesn't matter if the land isn't fully cultivated by then; no one says that if you have land, you have to cultivate it all.
The house was built in the middle of the spring and the fields, right in front of the current chicken, duck and rabbit cages, making everything convenient.
It just looks like there's only one plot of land.
Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but sigh.
"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!"
Zhao Shuyi picked up the hoe and started working hard. She had specially put the hoe in her space today, thinking that she might need it.
Unexpectedly, it was used inside the space, even though it wasn't used outside.
At the same time, Gu Yan also discovered that Zhao Shuyi was missing.
He originally wanted to go home to see Zhao Shuyi, but worried that she hadn't cooked for him, so he specially went to the cafeteria to get a meal and a plate of braised pork.
When he got home, he didn't see Zhao Shuyi, but instead met Dr. Wang, who had come to take his pulse.
"You came looking for that girl? Didn't she go up the mountain?"
Gu Yan was startled, "Going up the mountain alone?"
Hearing this, Dr. Wang sensed something was wrong. "Yeah, didn't he tell you? He said you agreed. That brat lied to me!"
Gu Yan's face was very ugly. He understood that Zhao Shuyi had gone up the mountain by herself, without waiting for him or even saying a word to him.
"Tao Tuan, please ask for leave for me. I need to go take a look."
Commander Tao nodded. "Alright, go ahead. Things are almost arranged. Let's find the person first."
Gu Yan didn't say anything more. His mind was buzzing, his eyelids kept twitching, and he had a bad feeling.
Could something have happened to her?
Gu Yan didn't dare to think too much. He took two deep breaths, went home to get a water bottle and some wound medicine, and rushed out.
He considered every possibility along the way.
The best outcome would be that Zhao Shuyi just went up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and nothing happened to her.
But the unease in my heart grew stronger.
What would normally be an hour's journey, Gu Yan reached the foot of the mountain in just half an hour.
He didn't know which direction to go, so he could only follow the path he had taken with her last time.
-
Although Zhao Shuyi is currently inside the space, she is still keeping an eye on the situation outside.
The venomous snake seemed to have left, but she wasn't sure.
She was absolutely certain that if the venomous snake were still there, she would either have died from the poison or fallen off the cliff in fright.
After a while, she thought that Gu Yan would definitely come to find her. Maybe he would come after she didn't bring him lunch in the afternoon.
But what if something happens to him and he has to go on a mission?
A moment later, she wondered what would happen if Gu Yan couldn't find her by following the path the two of them had previously taken.
What if Gu Yan also falls off the mountain?
Or perhaps you encountered a venomous snake?
Zhao Shuyi grew increasingly frightened as she thought about it, and cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.
no!
She couldn't just wait for Gu Yan to come to her; she had to save herself and not harm others.
If anything happens later, she will immediately flash back to her spatial dimension.
She can save herself!
"I can!"
After encouraging herself, Zhao Shuyi tidied up her basket, carefully sprinkled the medicine powder given to her by Doctor Wang on her trouser legs, and then, with a thought, she left the space and returned to the narrow cliff face.
