Nanfeng clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned his back against a tree, and looked straight towards the cliff.
He was waiting, waiting for a miracle.
The moon was above the treetops, and the scattered moonlight was like a net spread on the ground, as if covered with a layer of frost.
Gu Huai, who had fallen to the bottom, woke up in severe pain. He looked up at the hazy moonlight and tried hard to recall what had happened before.
He only remembered that after he cut the rope, he continued to fall down.
Although he wanted to use his internal energy to control his body, he was falling too fast and he couldn't control it at all.
The branches scraped across his face and body, and soon it hurt, but he didn't care. His eyes were still searching for Xie Yunjiao's whereabouts.
After an unknown amount of time, his body fell heavily to the ground and he lost consciousness.
Jing Kai was struggling to get up, but his whole body was in great pain, especially his legs. Every movement was excruciatingly painful. Only then did he realize that he had broken his leg!
In the dim moonlight, he could probably confirm that there were many trees around him and the grass was very tall. Except for the place where he was lying, where the grass was pressed under his body, the grass in other places had blocked his vision.
At this moment, he began to get nervous because he was not sure what the situation was like around him, let alone whether there were any ferocious beasts nearby.
What made him even more uneasy was that he hadn't found Xie Yunjiao yet! If Xie Yunjiao was going through the same thing as him, how helpless she would be and how much she would need help!
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the nearby grass, as if something was approaching him.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out a dagger from his waist, holding it tightly in his hand. After determining the direction of the sound, he stared at that direction intently, and his body began to gather strength.
As long as that thing comes over, no matter it is a person or an object, he must hit it with one move, otherwise the one who survives might be the other party!
Getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, a dazzling light pierced Gu Huai, and he couldn't open his eyes.
The knife in his hand still stabbed towards the person who came quickly.
The man exclaimed and jumped away. Only then did he look in the direction of Gu Huai in the candlelight.
"I didn't expect you to be so ferocious after falling from such a height. I don't think you're seriously injured. I don't think you'll die."
When Jing Kai heard the familiar Chinese language of Kyushu Kingdom, he was stunned for a moment.
He had not heard this familiar Chinese language since he came to Baiyue, and he did not expect to hear it in the valley.
However, he didn't know yet whether this person was good or bad. If he was good, Xie Yunjiao might have a chance of survival if she could meet this person at the bottom of the valley.
"Not speaking? Are you mute?" the man asked again.
However, he was afraid of the cold dagger in Gu Huai's hand and did not dare to get close.
Gu Huai sensed the visitor's fear, and his guard suddenly dropped. He said to the visitor, "I'm Gu Huai, and I'm new to your land. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused."
The man was stunned for a moment before he said, "So he can speak, he's not mute."
He paused and said to Gu Huai, "Let's discuss something. Why don't you put down the dagger and I'll take you back to the valley, okay?
My master is a skilled doctor, she will definitely cure you."
Seeing that the visitor was not disgusting, Gu Huai agreed.
After he put away the dagger, the man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then approached Gu Huai with the lantern in hand.
He couldn't help but gasp when he saw that Gu Huai's leg was broken and twisted into a strange shape.
"Oh my god, my leg is broken like this, how painful it must be."
Gu Huai looked at the visitor carefully. He looked very young, probably about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a young face, bright eyes, slightly furrowed brows, and a nervous expression.
Noticing that Gu Huai was looking at him, he also looked in Gu Huai's direction, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Huai said, "Brother, where is this place? Is there anyone else here besides you and your master?"
"No, my master and I have lived here for more than ten years. Apart from you, I have never seen anyone else."
That's why he kept looking at Gu Huai. Although he was afraid, he couldn't help but be curious.
Gu Huai's expression changed, and he was full of worries.
"You are so heavy, I can't lift you." said the boy.
Gu Huai was helpless, his leg was broken and he had no strength to move.
The young man sighed at Gu Huai and said, "It's a pity that my master has difficulty walking and can't come out to help you heal your injuries."
The young man looked around Gu Huai and said through gritted teeth, "There's no other way. I'll carry you."
Looking at the boy's thin body, Gu Huai thought that he might break his waist as soon as he went up.
The boy tried several times but failed.
Gu Huai said to the boy, "Forget it, you probably can't carry it."
Unexpectedly, Gu Huai's words angered the young man. He hated being looked down upon the most.
Normally, his master treated him badly and often looked down on him, but he didn't expect that an outsider would also look down on him. How could he swallow this humiliation!
He put all his strength into carrying Gu Huai onto his shoulders. When he failed, he kept trying. After trying several times, he tied Gu Huai to his body with a rope and finally was able to drag Gu Huai along the road.
Gu Huai looked at the boy's red ears and his forehead wet with sweat, with his hair stuck to it.
He was filled with mixed feelings.
He thought, this boy is really stubborn. Everyone tried to persuade him to give up, but he refused.
Now both he and the young man are in great pain. His leg is already broken, and now he is being tortured like this. He was already in so much pain that he almost died, and now he is almost dead.
It was unknown how long it had passed before the young man stumbled and brought him to a small courtyard.
He could see the paper lanterns swaying in front of the courtyard gate from afar, and his eyes suddenly felt sore.
When he and Xie Yunjiao were in Qinghe Town, every time he returned to the foot of the mountain from the top, as long as it was night, he could see Xie Yunjiao and Doudou lighting candles at the door to illuminate his way home.
The young man had no idea what Gu Huai was thinking. He half carried and half dragged Gu Huai back here, and he had almost used up all his strength.
I didn't even have the strength to push the door open, so I could only shout loudly into the yard: "Master, I'm back, come and help me open the door."
The figure who was grinding medicine in the room heard the boy's cry and paused.
But soon the sound of grinding medicine was heard in the room again.
It seemed that he didn't want to open the door for the boy.
But the young man did not give up. He shouted to the people inside: "Master, come and open the door quickly. I have no strength left. Look, I saved her again..."
The man inside suddenly stopped moving and stood up, a look of annoyance crossing his wrinkled face: "Ye Fuming, you brought back some more messy animals for me!"
