Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Su Guanzhang was buried under a huge rock! ...
Two more days passed.
The group was still wandering in the mountains. This time it was not because Chen Yang deliberately led them into the mountains, but because of the geographical characteristics of Beiqiu Prefecture.
That day they climbed a mountain of medium height and were now on their way down the mountain.
Like the previous two days, Su Guanzhang did not dare to carry Xuan Jinyu on his back again, for fear of crushing the baby in her belly.
But he just didn't dare to take the risk. If Xuan Jinyu really lay on his back, her belly would not touch him.
Ever since Xuan Jinyu's pregnancy began, he hadn't dared touch her. He hadn't been in bed for a long time, and he didn't dare entertain any such romantic thoughts. Instead, he subconsciously ignored his wife's figure.
At this time, Xuan Jinyu was being held carefully by him, crossing the rocks blocking the road.
The heavy rain had only stopped for three days, and a lot of rocks and soil were washed down from the mountain. According to local people, there was a mudslide here just two days ago.
"Walk faster." Xuan Jinyu leaned her head on Su Guanzhang's shoulder. When she turned around and saw the protruding rocks above their heads, she felt a little uneasy.
Her intuition was always right.
"Okay." Su Guanzhang quickened his pace.
He spoke loudly to the people behind him, and they all quickened their pace.
Su Guanzhang carried Xuan Jinyu to the foot of the mountain, found a flat and safe place, and put her down.
He turned around to look at his grandmother who was being carried on the back of his father Su Sheng.
Ten days ago, due to the slippery road caused by rain, Old Madam Su accidentally fell when passing through the courtyard of the post station, and also caused Second Aunt Su and Xu Yu Niang, who were supporting her at the time, to slip and fall to the ground.
All three suffered minor injuries.
Second Aunt Su and Xu Yu Niang were fine. Compared to Old Madam Su, they were still quite young. People who practiced martial arts did not take minor scrapes and bumps seriously as long as the injuries were not serious enough to cause fractures.
But Madam Su was old after all, and although Xu Yu Niang cushioned her head to prevent it from hitting the ground directly, her left foot happened to hit the stone bricks of the corridor, causing a slight fracture.
Su Guanzhang personally checked his grandmother's injuries, fixed the wound for her, applied herbal medicine, and prescribed some medicine for her to drink. Only in the past few days did she stop complaining about the pain in her wound.
"Go and help." Xuan Jinyu was also looking at Old Madam Su. Seeing that her father-in-law was carrying the child very carefully, she hurriedly urged Su Guanzhang, and she herself walked to Xuan Wensheng.
Although Su Sheng is still young and strong, he has the rough temperament of a warrior at heart and is not good at taking care of others.
It would be fine if he could occasionally support and hug Old Madam Su, there wouldn't be any problem.
But now that Madam Su's injuries hadn't fully healed, he was a little nervous. He wanted to speed up but also wanted to be careful not to let his mother's injured foot get bumped by the protruding rocks on both sides of the mountain wall. He looked obviously in a state of panic.
Xuan Wensheng also nodded to Su Guanzhang, telling him to go ahead and rest assured, "Leave your sister to me to take care of her."
Su Guanzhang felt relieved, so he took two steps at a time and walked back quickly. He took his grandmother from his father's back, carried her to a flat place, and made her sit next to Xuan Jinyu.
Su Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his nervousness, and stayed to take care of Old Madam Su. Su Guanzhang then turned around and carried his mother and second aunt over one by one.
Although their scratches were no longer a problem, they were still a little inflexible when doing large movements like lifting their legs high and taking leaps.
And according to his observation, his mother and second aunt even walked much slower than usual along the way.
He thought that the two elders did not use the external injury medicine he gave them properly, so he had to ask his sisters-in-law to apply the medicine to them in the evening.
At this time, the children were also carried over the huge rocks blocking the road by their parents.
"The rocks above may be unstable, so everyone should be careful." Su Guanzhang was relieved to see that the Su family had reached a safe place. He turned around and repeated it to Wang Hu who was walking behind him.
Wang Hu agreed.
Without the Su family's women and children walking slowly in front and slowing down their progress, the group of martial artists relaxed their pace and walked very fast.
Su Guanzhang was also walking back with big strides.
After they passed the dangerous area, the rocks above their heads did not move at all, but from the higher cliffs, there was a deafening sound of falling rocks.
When Su Guanzhang looked up, he saw a huge rock coming straight towards him.
The place where he was standing was narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through. There were people behind him, and the path ahead was blocked by another rock that had fallen earlier...
"Husband!" Xuan Jinyu screamed. She subconsciously wanted to run forward, but Xuan Wensheng, who reacted very quickly, grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Don't go, sister!"
"Zhang boy!"
"Little brother!"
"Young Master Su?"
…
The huge rock slammed heavily into the middle of the mountain road, and its bottom happened to be stuck by the mountain walls on both sides, but the unstoppable force had not yet dissipated, and the residual power it brought made the whole mountain seem to shake.
The earthquake-like vibrations spread to where Xuan Jinyu and the others were not far away, and did not stop until half a minute later.
Because of the vibration, more rocks rolled down from the mountain, and the rock above their heads that they had been paying attention to really fell down.
Wang Hu and others were blocked by huge rocks before they could run forward. They retreated one after another and found shelter to hide, but some people were still injured.
Fortunately, Xuan Jinyu and the others were indeed safe, and the falling rocks slowly stopped before they rolled to them.
The dirt and dust caused by the mountain shaking gradually dissipated.
Xuan Wensheng stared fixedly at the huge rock that blocked the mountain road, afraid to see bright red liquid flowing out from underneath, and the grip he had on Xuan Jinyu's wrist loosened slightly.
Su Guanzhang was buried under a huge rock!
Xuan Jinyu's mind went blank. She instinctively shook off Xuan Wensheng's hand, held her stomach with both hands and ran over. She soon arrived in front of the huge rock where Su Guanzhang was buried.
Without thinking, she stretched out her hands, and with a lift, she picked up the huge rock and threw it aside in front of everyone's incredulous gaze.
The place where she threw it happened to be where the mountain road narrowed and widened to the foot of the mountain. The boulder rolled to one side with a dull sound, hit the mountain wall, and stopped.
The Su family caught up with them, and before they had time to feel sad for Su Guanzhang, they were already shocked by her; especially the children who had no idea what was going on, they all opened their mouths wide.
Tears began to fall from Xuan Jinyu's eyes, and her gaze searched the ground, thinking that she would see Su Guanzhang covered in blood and a mangled body.
She couldn't see anything through her tear-stained eyes.
She began to cry, her voice hoarse, "Su Guanzhang," she called the man's name.
"Jinyu."
Xuan Jinyu heard nothing, tears kept falling and dripping onto the ground.
She couldn’t find him. She didn’t find Su Guanzhang!
Xuan Jinyu's body slowly slid down, and she thought she would fall to the ground.
But someone hugged her, "Jinyu, it's me." The person said in her ear.
This time Xuan Jinyu heard it and smelled the familiar and infatuated scent from the person holding her. It was a scent as light and quiet as snow, and very much like Su Guanzhang.
Xuan Jinyu's mind went blank again.
Her body was slightly stiff, and she felt that her hands and feet were out of her control, but she could feel that the person was wiping the tears from her face very gently.
"Jinyu, it's me." The man kept talking in her ear, calling her name, "Jinyu, I'm not dead, look at me."
The Su family members behind him cried with joy and hugged each other.
Xuan Wensheng also breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and just stood not far behind the two of them, watching without going forward to disturb them.
Wang Hu and other imperial guards were originally blocked by a huge rock, but the rock was quickly lifted up and cleared aside by everyone - that's what they thought.
But Chen Yang and other military officers and soldiers who watched the whole process were all stunned. At last, they looked at each other, totally unable to believe what they had just seen.
That frail, delicate, and pregnant Madam Xuan Xiaoshao, lifted a huge rock that was three people tall with her hands and threw it aside?
They must be dazzled...right?
Madam Xuan Xiaoshao and Young Master Su were deeply in love. She was worried about her husband, and in her desperation, she unleashed a tremendous amount of energy, allowing her to accomplish things that ordinary people couldn't. Is that right... right? That's right... right?
The group of grown men exchanged silent glances, trying to convince themselves. After a long moment, they sighed in vain. No, they couldn't convince themselves at all.
"Jinyu, come back to your senses." Su Guanzhang massaged Xuan Jinyu's back, while lowering his head to hold her lips and breathe for her.
Great sorrow is harmful to the body, and Xuan Jinyu is pregnant, so she is now having trouble breathing.
"Jinyu." Seeing that passing the breath was useless, Su Guanzhang hardened his heart and pressed hard on the acupoint on her hand.
The sudden pain finally brought Xuan Jinyu's scattered consciousness back to normal.
Su Guanzhang felt relieved and quickly carried her to an open area, letting her sit on his lap. He continued to massage her back to calm her breathing.
The Su family and Xuan Wensheng also noticed that something was wrong with Xuan Jinyu's condition, but they didn't dare to disturb Su Guanzhang's actions. They just followed him. However, they didn't dare to get close, and watched nervously as he helped Xuan Jinyu to calm down.
About half a minute later, Xuan Jinyu finally calmed down and recognized Su Guanzhang. She threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck and cried again.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Wow, wow, you stinky man." Xuan Jinyu complained while crying, "You usually give me a cold face..." and you hide someone in your heart, which is already too much. Now you come to scare me...
She was so angry that she opened her mouth and bit the inside of his neck hard. Her tears and blood soaked his chest and back.
Because Xuan Jinyu was too excited and sobbing, Su Guanzhang couldn't hear what she said clearly. He could only roughly hear that she was scolding him.
"Jinyu, I'm sorry, it's my fault." He began to apologize very skillfully. "You're not feeling well right now, so please stop crying, okay?"
The two were hugging each other tightly, her belly pressed against his chest. Su Guanzhang had already noticed the baby moving restlessly in her belly several times.
