Chapter 138 How is she like a mother?
"Miss, Miss, where are you!" Luo Kui looked at the carriage debris on the ground, her eyes swollen from crying. She picked at the broken pieces of carriage and saw that the broken wood was stained with blood. Luo Kui became even more worried: "Miss, you, where are you?"
"It's all my fault. I didn't learn martial arts well. I couldn't even protect the young lady." Luo Kui looked around blankly. Tian knew that she had been chasing here all the way, and when she found that the carriage had fallen directly onto the official road below, her heart sank.
If Jin Wu hadn't caught up with him, Luo Kui would have jumped off the cliff and gone to the official road to look at the carriage fragments.
"Luo Kui, there are horse hoof prints here. I wonder if the young lady was taken away by someone..." Jin Wu looked carefully and saw a lot of horse hoof prints. He didn't dare to say whether she was kidnapped or rescued.
"Could it be that someone else rescued the young lady?" Luo Kui rolled to her feet, the arrow wound on her shoulder still bleeding. Jin Wu didn't dare to answer. He changed the subject and said, "Luo Kui, do you want to get a bandage first?"
Luo Kui glanced sideways and said nonchalantly, "Why are you still bandaging her? Let's quickly follow these horseshoe prints and look for her. Who knows, the young lady might have been lucky enough to be rescued by someone else!"
Luo Kui spoke excitedly, pulling Jin Wu along to go look for her. They followed the horse hoof prints all the way and found that the road led into the forest. As the sun was setting, Luo Kui became even more worried and said, "Jin Wu, the young lady..."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft." Luo Kui spat out her saliva before she could even finish her words. She raised her hand and slapped her mouth, saying, "Look at my black duck mouth. Miss, you will definitely be safe and sound. Good fortune will come to those who are blessed."
"Young lady, you've always had good luck. You'll be fine." Luo Kui's voice trembled slightly. She stood in the forest, looking at the endless woods. As the sun set, Luo Kui became even more anxious. She said, "Jin Wu, where did the horse go? Go find it quickly!"
"Don't worry, the horseshoe prints are messy and I have to look carefully!" Jin Wu was also anxious in his heart. He was protecting the eldest lady when she went out today. If something happened to the eldest lady, not only would he feel bad, but even his own father would want to kill him!
If the Xiao family had not taken them in, the Jin family would have died out long ago.
Luo Kui was anxious, but she didn't know what to do. She looked around anxiously. Suddenly, she saw a lilac purse in the forest. She ran forward excitedly, identified it carefully, and said excitedly: "Miss, Miss's purse, Miss must be around here!"
"Miss, Miss, where are you?" Luo Kui made trumpet shapes with his hands and shouted
Jin Wu also had a direction and said, "The young lady and the others should have gone in this direction."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Luo Kui urged, pulling Jin Wu away.
"Wait a minute." Jin Wu took a few steps and stopped, pulling Luo Kui with him.
"What are you doing?" Luo Kui was covered by Jin Wu's hand before she could finish her words. Luo Kui's eyes widened and she heard Jin Wu's voice: "Someone's here."
Luo Kui suddenly didn't dare to speak and was pulled by Jin Wu to hide behind a dense tree.
Soon, the figures of Guo Sheng and others appeared, and he asked, "Who's here?"
Guo Sheng brought some men with him, all of whom were armed with swords and had fierce eyes.
"It's Guo Sheng, the servant of the Third Prince." Luo Kui whispered. She looked at Jin Wu and whispered, "I think I can trust him."
Seeing Guo Sheng and his men surrounding them, Jin Wu stood up and said, "I'm Jin Wu, Miss Xiao's bodyguard."
Jin Wu introduced himself.
When Guo Sheng saw Jin Wu, his gaze fell on Luo Kui. He confirmed that it was someone close to Xiao Jiuyue, then raised his hand, signaling his men to disperse and search. He sheathed his sword and asked, "What are you doing in this mountain instead of staying with Miss Xiao? Did Miss Xiao go into the mountains?"
Guo Sheng looked at them in confusion. He heard Luo Kui's shout just now.
"Ahem." Luo Kui cleared his throat, his eyes dodging as he winked at Jin Wu. Jin Wu said, "My eldest daughter came to the mountains to collect herbs, and she must have lost her way."
"Collecting herbs?" Guo Sheng's eyes showed disbelief. "What kind of herbs does Miss Xiao need to collect personally? We just searched all over the mountain and didn't see Miss Xiao."
"Really? My eldest daughter is nearby." Jin Wu said confidently, pulling Luo Kui to look for her. Luo Kui didn't understand, but still followed Jin Wu.
Guo Sheng's eyes flickered as he said, "My prince has also gone to the mountains to collect herbs. I wonder if you have seen him?"
Luo Kui and Jin Wu exchanged a glance. Luo Kui looked at Guo Sheng with disbelief in her eyes and said, "Is your Highness also collecting herbs in the mountains?"
"Yes, Your Highness has been collecting herbs for the Queen Mother. The Tianshan Snow Blood, the Hundred-Year Blood Ginseng, and the Ganoderma Lucidum were all picked by Your Highness himself." Guo Sheng praised his own prince without blinking or breathing heavily.
"Since you are looking for Miss Xiao and we are looking for His Highness, why don't we go together?" Guo Sheng suggested.
Luo Kui said excitedly, "Could it be that my young lady has run into the Third Prince?" After saying that, she pursed her lips again, and the light in her eyes dimmed. It wasn't like her young lady was really going to pick herbs.
When Guo Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up: "Maybe, it's really possible?" His Highness and Miss Xiao have a deep bond, right?
…
In the cave, Xiao Jiuyue kept changing Jun Lie's handkerchief. There was a strong wind outside, so Xiao Jiuyue had to pick up some more dead branches. In case the fire went out, the temperature in the mountains was so low, wouldn't he be frozen to death?
What made him even more worried was the jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains. Without fire, Xiao Jiuyue felt insecure.
I collected firewood and changed my handkerchief. After who knows how many times, a pile of firewood was placed in the cave. The rain was pouring outside, and the rain and fog came in from outside, accompanied by the wind, which was very cold.
Xiao Jiuyue took off his coat and tied it with a belt at the entrance of the cave to simply keep out the wind and rain.
"Luckily I have a lot of clothes, otherwise, there would be nothing to block it."
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at her inner garment. Underneath her outer garment was a skirt, and underneath that was another lining. The cuffs were a little damp. She sat by the fire, warming herself, listening to the rain pouring down outside. She murmured, "June weather, child, changes so quickly. It's only the beginning of May, how can it rain without warning?"
"Raining does have some benefits." Xiao Jiuyue changed the handkerchief so she didn't have to run out. She kept changing Jun Lie's handkerchief. Even when she felt sleepy, she didn't dare to sleep. She kept staring at the fire and adding firewood from time to time.
"It seems to have subsided a little." Xiao Jiuyue changed his handkerchief for who knows how many times, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed that his forehead didn't seem so hot anymore.
Just as Xiao Jiuyue was about to leave, Jun Lie grabbed her hand and called out in a voice that sounded like a dream, "Mom."
Xiao Jiuyue: "..." How does she look like a mother?
