Chapter 66: Riding on the Same Horse
Shi Niang shook her head slightly, turned her gaze to the calm Su Shengsheng, and said softly, "My name is Mu Xi."
At this time, Qing Ning heard the chaotic footsteps coming from downstairs. She no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly closed the window from the other side against the wall.
She patted her chest and took the package off her back. "Miss, change your clothes quickly. Those people have lost and will definitely not give up. I'm afraid they will block us soon."
Su Shengsheng took off the pearl hairpin on her head and handed it to Shi Niang. "Although there are many hardships in this world, fortunately there is always a place to stay."
Shi Niang slowly took the pearl hairpin, her eyes softening, "He came to take me... I understand... it's because this secular world doesn't tolerate me..."
"Miss, it's really too late!" Qing Ning looked anxiously at the people rushing up the stairs, feeling extremely anxious.
At the same time, Zai Qing, who was outside, began to panic when he saw so many people rushing towards the Red Mansion.
He had come here to prepare the carriage, but now he could only wait anxiously.
Su Shengsheng took the hood and said, "Let's go next door."
However, before they could make any move, Fan Wenchang's unbridled laughter could be heard from the corridor. "Mother, even if you break my legs, I will redeem you this time!"
Upon hearing this, the madam of the Red Mansion immediately ordered her men to stop him.
Oh my god!
Why are they all rushing up and can’t be stopped?
"Why are you stopping me? I want to redeem my wife!" Fan Wenchang's dissatisfied voice was getting closer and closer.
The stairs on one side were blocked, and the private room on the other side was also blocked. Qing Ning was completely confused.
After recovering from the series of betrayals, Shi Niang held Su Shengsheng's hand tightly and said, "I'm going to leave now. Just say that I hurt my throat. It's time to put an end to all this."
Her words showed that she was willing to give up everything.
Su Shengsheng held her hand in return and said, "I'll go out through the back window. There's no need to expose what happened today."
Shi Niang wanted to admit that she lip-synced, but once she lost this false reputation and injured her voice, her life in the Red Mansion would become even more difficult.
Seeing the sound getting closer, Qing Ning was so anxious that she turned around and around, "Miss, you can't jump off this building!"
"Even if you admit defeat, they will still stare at you and ask me questions." With Fan Wenchang as a scourge, everything is full of variables.
Su Shengsheng no longer hesitated. She split the window screen in two, tied it into a knot skillfully, and then tied it to the railing.
She said to the girl who was still standing there in a daze, "Don't forget to close the window and take down the cloth rope."
After saying that, she called over Qing Ning, who was standing there in a daze, and asked her to go down with her.
"Miss, should I jump off the building too?" Qing Ning asked in horror.
Su Shengsheng had thrown the knot down and climbed out the window.
Qing Ning was so frightened that her legs went weak and she ran to the back window to take a look.
I saw Su Shengsheng climbing down the pavilion in an orderly manner.
Although the madam outside was trying her best to stop them, she was no match for the group of people who counterattacked after Xiaolou was defeated.
Seeing that Su Shengsheng went down to the first floor smoothly without even using the cloth rope tied around her waist, Qing Ning also plucked up the courage.
Just as she climbed over the window, she heard Su Shengsheng say, "Hang there first, I'll pick you up downstairs."
Qing Ning stepped onto the railing with a confused look on her face. She wanted to look down but was afraid of the terrifying height.
I just made a quick estimate of the building's height, but I didn't expect it to be much taller than the second floor.
Su Shengsheng, who had practiced rock climbing in his previous life, couldn't find any traction below, so he couldn't help but call out to Qing Ning above to stop.
But Qing Ning didn't have the strength to hold on any longer. She only held on for a moment before shouting, "Miss, I'm about to fall!"
When the girl heard this, she got anxious and said, "I'll pull you up!"
But she didn't have enough strength to pull it off. Qing Ning had just let go of the cloth when she grabbed it again tremblingly.
“Oh my god!”
There was no more room for support below, and hearing Qingning's voice above her unable to hold on, Su Shengsheng hardened her heart, closed her eyes, and jumped down.
However, the expected pain did not come, instead the body was undulating like waves.
Su Shengsheng opened her eyes in horror.
Under the dark night sky, those black pupils were like fragments left behind by ancient stars, lost in the desolate and lonely world.
They are as deep as dark black holes, swallowing up all the light around them, but emitting the most dazzling light in the center.
It seems that in there, you can see billions of years of time passing, look at the stars in the distance, and wait for the next miracle of life.
It was as if he was a bright star in the distant galaxy, shining with time and space, quietly waiting for the fate of reincarnation.
"General..." Su Shengsheng never expected that she would fall on Xie Xuan's horse and be held tightly in his arms.
But the situation was urgent and the lime on top was about to fall. She didn't care about being polite. "General, please help me take the lime."
However, his hand went around her, grabbed the reins, and rode away in a cloud of dust.
Su Shengsheng was stunned...
?
Fortunately, Mu Ze reacted quickly, galloped over on his horse, and shouted, "Qing Ning, I'll catch you."
Just now, when he heard the soldiers report that Su Shengsheng and the other two were hanging outside, he was still half-believing and half-doubting.
Unexpectedly, these two people were so bold as to come to this red building.
Mu Ze's loud voice quickly drew Qing Ning's dissatisfaction: "Keep your voice down!"
Mu Ze looked at her wandering around with a frown on his face, "She's harder to please than our ancestors. Are you going to jump or not?"
Qing Ning wanted to be stubborn a little longer, but her strength was exhausted and she fell straight down.
"drink!"
"ah!"
The two figures collided heavily, and two muffled groans were heard.
At the same time, the door of the private room upstairs could not withstand the impact of the crowd and was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Su Shengsheng only had time to confirm that Qing Ning was safe and sound. Before she had the chance to check on Shi Niang, she was covered by a black robe.
Qing Ning signaled to Shi Niang to untie the rope, and urged Mu Ze to take her away.
Mu Ze imitated Xie Xuan and completely wrapped Qing Ning in his cloak, chasing after him with a puzzled look on his face: "General, are we not arresting anyone anymore?"
Xie Xuan was seen galloping on his horse in the night, ignoring him completely.
He couldn't help but stare at Chu Zhao who had followed him: "What a ghost!"
Su Shengsheng was wrapped in a black robe, and everything in front of her was pitch black, with only the biting cold wind whistling past.
She felt she was far enough away and wanted to stick her head out, but was pushed back by the person behind her.
?
"General?" She asked him in a low voice, completely unable to see him.
I only felt my chest vibrate slightly behind me, and along with the sound of horse hooves, a deep voice came: "Why did you come to the Red Mansion?"
Su Shengsheng's voice was muffled by the black robe, but a sense of confusion still emanated from her: "Make money!"
After that, she received no response, only the sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid.
It was unknown how long it took before Su Shengsheng, who had been knocked unconscious, emerged from the black robe.
She had never touched a horse in her two lives, and she was panicked at the moment, completely unaware that she had been holding Xie Xuan's arm tightly.
It wasn't until she saw the familiar door of her home that she came back to her senses.
Before she was fully awake, Xie Xuan asked, "Does the Su family know about your visit to the Red Mansion?"
She didn't feel cold when she was covered by the black robe just now, but now a cold wind blew and Su Shengsheng sneezed suddenly.
The horse under her seemed to be infected by her and snorted repeatedly.
Su Shengsheng suddenly remembered what Mu Ze said. She no longer dared to sit in Xie Xuan's car and struggled to jump out.
But he was gently lifted up by the person behind him and brought steadily to the ground.
Su Shengsheng's body was still a little shaky despite the rapid pace she had been running without stopping, and her feet didn't feel grounded.
She looked at Xie Xuan in confusion.
Under the cover of night, illuminated by the street lights of the night market, she could only see those eyes that were as dark as the night.
Under the vastness of the falling snow at night, it seemed as if something was imprisoned and was about to struggle out.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, everything lost its color and sound, and only he and she were left, quietly facing each other in this complicated world.
