In the original novel, Situ Yao is a very strong person. Not to mention now, even when he was pierced through the chest by an arrow in the later period and the imperial physician said that he might not survive, he still looked calm and not afraid at all.
But, are you really not afraid?
Su Mengyan didn't know why she felt distressed, and immediately stepped forward to support Situ Yao's arm: "Your Highness, go slowly, I will support you."
Situ Yao's hand paused slightly. He frowned and looked at Su Mengyan. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and walked forward calmly.
Maybe it was Su Mengyan's bad mouth or something, but they had just walked out of the cave a short distance when they heard footsteps in the distance, mixed with some faint conversations.
"Hurry up and find the person. No matter if he's dead or alive, bring him back to report to that master!"
Sure enough, he came here for Situ Yao!
Su Mengyan was startled and quickly helped Situ Yao to hide to the side, whispering, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to have wronged you first."
The two hid in the grove nearby.
This wasn't really a grievance. Situ Yao didn't feel panicked or anxious. Instead, he quietly looked at the nervous Su Mengyan beside him, and said inexplicably, "Gu Zai, what are you afraid of?"
"Shh!" Su Mengyan immediately covered Situ Yao's mouth and said nervously, "Your Highness, please don't speak. There are people outside. Wait for them to pass."
This was the first time that Su Mengyan dared to do something "offensive" to him. It was bold and presumptuous, but Situ Yao did not feel annoyed. Instead, he felt that Su Mengyan was much cuter than usual.
interesting.
While observing those people, Su Mengyan took Situ Yao and retreated quietly to the side, and then pushed directly into a cave nearby.
The cave didn't look very dirty, and there was something covering the entrance. After Su Mengyan stuffed Situ Yao in, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Situ Yao, "Your Highness, we are safe for the time being."
Situ Yao didn't say anything, and the footsteps outside had not stopped yet.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Su Mengyan gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, saying, "Your Highness, stay here. I'll lead them away!"
"no!"
Seeing that Su Mengyan was about to disappear before his eyes, Situ Yao immediately reached out and grabbed her hand, with a somewhat cold look in his eyes: "I won't let you go!"
"Your Highness, please stop making trouble. I will be back." Su Mengyan knew what he was worried about, but she couldn't let those thieves outside come in, so she struggled to break free from Situ Yao's hand and turned around to run out: "Wait for me!"
Situ Yao was injured and his reaction was not as quick as before. He could only watch Su Mengyan's back disappear from his sight, but he couldn't even grab a corner of her clothes.
“Su…!”
Situ Yao wanted to call her back, but the footsteps outside were getting closer. If he really called out, it would mean that everyone would be attracted to him, and what Su Mengyan did would be meaningless.
Situ Yao pursed his lips, feeling anxious for the first time.
If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have broken his leg to save Su Mengyan. If Su Mengyan's leg was broken, he would at least have a way to take her away. But now he can only sit here and wait for Su Mengyan to come back.
Damn it.
I don’t know how much time has passed, the footsteps outside have disappeared, leaving only the sound of water dripping on the rock wall, which is particularly clear.
Situ Yao had nothing to do. He didn't know when he started counting the sound of water beside him. The sound of water dripping one drop at a time made Situ Yao's expression gradually become indifferent.
"Three thousand and seventy-two."
He spoke in a low voice, and Situ Yao suddenly sneered.
It was because of his naiveté that he was deceived by a concubine.
From the very beginning, Su Mengyan had been thinking about leaving him, even going so far as to cooperate with Cui Mixue. Now that she finally had a chance to escape, how could she possibly stay?
What's even more ridiculous is that he actually believed she would come back.
So naive.
"Su Mengyan." He gritted his teeth and gripped the dagger in his hand, wishing he could drag Su Mengyan back to him and grind her into ashes. "If I find you, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
Su Mengyan finally found her way back and paused. What had she done wrong? Shouldn't she go in now? Why did Situ Yao hold such a grudge against her?
Keeping a safe distance, Su Mengyan tentatively called out, "Your Highness?"
She risked her life to attract these people away, but Situ Yao actually started cursing her.
Situ Yao's expression froze slightly. He turned to look at Su Mengyan, and the expression between his eyebrows gradually softened, but he still snorted coldly and said, "Who gave you the courage to leave for so long? Did I let you go?"
"That can't be helped." Su Mengyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had overestimated her ability to remember the way, so when she came back, she walked around several times before she found this place. But fortunately, "Your Highness, do you want to eat something?"
When she came back, she passed by a tree and found it full of fruits, so she picked some.
Just brought it back.
"I won't eat it." Situ Yao turned his head and snorted coldly, "Eat it yourself, don't let yourself be poisoned."
How could it be poisoned to death? She clearly knew this fruit.
But since Situ Yao didn't want to eat it, she curled her lips, wiped the fruit and put it in her arms, then handed Situ Yao the wooden stick she had picked up on the road and said, "Your Highness, we can't stay here any longer. You hold on to this, and I'll support you. Let's go down the mountain."
In her memory, after the first wave of pursuit, they were safe until they got down the mountain, so Su Mengyan was not too nervous and supported Situ Yao as they walked slowly down the mountain.
Situ Yao was unusually quiet.
Just as Su Mengyan remembered, they had only walked a few steps up the mountain when they ran into a farmer coming down the mountain. Upon seeing the two of them, he immediately approached them, asking about their situation with concern and enthusiasm, and then led Situ Yao and Su Mengyan down the mountain.
Su Mengyan blinked and smiled at Situ Yao, her expression innocent and simple: "Your Highness, look, I told you that you are a lucky person, and there will definitely be someone to help you, right?"
Su Mengyan spoke in a low voice, being careful not to let the farmers hear.
Situ Yao sneered and said nothing.
When they arrived at the farmer's house at the foot of the mountain, Situ Yao casually took out a handful of silver and asked Su Mengyan to take care of it, then he lay on the bed like a ancestor.
Hearing Su Mengyan's footsteps as she left, Situ Yao's expression gradually faded. Su Mengyan said he was lucky, but how could he be lucky? Before he met Su Mengyan, he had seen all kinds of things and had never had good luck.
Even if he prayed to God for good luck, there would never be any response.
Later, Situ Yao got used to it.
But after Su Mengyan appeared, everything was different.
