Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Welcome the Young Master and Young Madam out of the mountain...
Su Guanzhang was playing with Lan Jie'er at the time. He heard a scream from behind the cliff. Without thinking much, he picked up Lan Jie'er and lightly tapped his feet, pushing the cliff away in an instant.
"Jinyu, what's wrong?" Su Guanzhang asked nervously.
Xuan Jinyu raised her eyes and saw him, then looked at Lan Jie'er who was smiling happily at her in his arms. She was stunned for a moment, then buried her body in the water with a red face.
Although she did not avoid him when feeding Lan Jie'er on weekdays, when she could not wake up at night and Lan Jie'er wanted to drink milk, he would directly unbutton her clothes and let his daughter drink.
And since June, they have been intimate frequently and bathing together is common.
But that all happened after Sister Lan fell asleep.
Now, Sister Lan was shouting "Ahhh" at her excitedly with confusion in her eyes. How could she face her with the nerve?
"Jinyu." Su Guanzhang didn't think too much about it. He just squatted down worriedly. "What happened just now?"
Lan Jie'er's little head was turned to the back by her father, with her back facing her mother. She screamed "Ah" fiercely.
Seeing that her father didn't understand what she meant, she didn't get angry. She just bit her little hand and mumbled something that only she could understand.
Xuan Jinyu's shyness was drowned out by her daughter's baby voice, and she slowly relaxed.
"Look at the hot springs," she said.
Su Guanzhang heard this and looked over, and immediately discovered the problem. "The hot spring water level has dropped."
He walked over, holding Lan Jie'er in one hand, and reached out to check. "The water level is still dropping." He withdrew his hand and turned to Xuan Jinyu, "Jinyu, are you done washing?"
Xuan Jinyu nodded, and he continued, "Come out first, and let's observe what's going on in the hot spring."
Xuan Jinyu didn't move, her face flushed, her bright eyes sparkling in the dim candlelight, "Take Sister Lan out first." She said angrily.
Su Guanzhang realized something and his eyes flickered.
"Oh!" He stuttered, a rare occurrence. "I, I'll go out first."
He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, covered Sister Lan's eyes, and retreated behind the mountain wall, keeping his back to the entrance of the mountain wall.
The sound of water sliding down when Xuan Jinyu stood up and the rustling sound of her clothes when she put on fell into his ears and were infinitely magnified, making his heart beat like a drum.
Su Guanzhang closed his eyes, trying to drive out the beautiful spring scenery that he had just accidentally glimpsed from his mind. After all, he was holding his babbling daughter in his arms, and such thoughts were so inappropriate.
But it's no use.
Even if he hadn't caught a glimpse of it just now, all the intimacy between the couple in the past few years had been engraved in his mind and settled in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it or forget it.
What's more, the two of them had just had intimate intercourse last night.
Su Guanzhang felt a little dry in the mouth, and his mind couldn't help but think of her beauty.
Sister Lan was confused and realized that she had been "talking" for a long time, but her father did not play with her in time as before, and did not give her any response at all.
She stared at Su Guanzhang for a long time, and suddenly, she stretched out her little hand and slapped him on the face.
All the beautiful thoughts in Su Guanzhang's mind were instantly dissipated by this small slap.
It doesn't hurt that much, but...
The blush that had momentarily fallen on Su Guanzhang's face quickly vanished. He smiled wryly and pinched his daughter's face, "Why haven't you forgotten the trick you learned from Bai Falcon?"
Sister Lan didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw that her father finally paid attention to her, she giggled sweetly at him, and leaned her little head over to his neck, rubbing it and making him feel itchy.
Su Guanzhang's heart was melted by her smile. He kissed her forehead and said, "Good girl."
Xuan Jinyu stood at the entrance to the cliff face and saw Lan Jie'er slap her father before flirting affectionately with him. She smiled and took her daughter in her arms. "I thought you'd forgotten."
She said the same thing as Su Guanzhang.
Since the news of her grandfather's death came, Sister Lan patted Xuan Jinyu's face and tried to wipe her tears but to no avail. She has not done this action again in the past few months.
They really thought she had forgotten.
"Maybe the white falcon also remembered it when it flapped its wings and took off," Su Guanzhang guessed.
The water level of the hot spring continued to drop, and the gurgling sound of bubbles became somewhat obvious.
In less than a day, the location of the hot spring had become a large pit, warm and dry.
The next day, Su Guanzhang jumped out of the pit, suppressed his excitement, and said to Xuan Jinyu: "Jinyu, there is hope that we can leave here."
It seems they can go out.
The third day is the seventh day of the seventh month, the Qiqiao Festival.
Early in the morning of that day, the villagers living near the foot of the mountain discovered that the guards who came to the bottom of the cliff every day to look for people were followed by several carriages.
The old man came back with pig feed as usual, glanced back, and was stunned.
The old woman heard the noise and opened the gate. Seeing the old man standing there motionless, she felt strange and asked, "Old man, why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
The old man came back to his senses and approached his wife mysteriously, "Old woman, look at the two people in the carriage. They are both noble people."
The old woman followed his gaze and saw that a lady with great agility jumped out of the carriage and quickly helped an old lady out from the inner carriage.
Although the clothes they were wearing did not look bright, their daughter had married into the city and was the owner of a cloth shop, so they were also knowledgeable people.
The old couple could naturally see that the fabrics of the two ladies' clothes were extraordinary.
What's more, they all heard that the person living in the house outside Huaizhao County was from the Su Guogong Mansion in Shengjing City.
They have lived in Huaizhao County for generations, and the biggest master they have ever seen is the county magistrate in the county government office, whom they only caught a glimpse of from afar when he occasionally went to court.
Have you ever seen a bigger man?
The Duke's Mansion in Shengjing City was a place they had never dared to meet in their dreams.
"Shh, they are looking at you, stop looking." The old woman blushed and pulled the old man into the house.
They had heard about what the county residents and nearby villagers had done in the past few months. What a sin! Although their family had not been involved, they did not dare to sell their daughter's cloth to them.
When the old couple learned the truth later, they were terribly embarrassed.
Next to the carriage at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Yu Niang kicked away the gravel at her feet and said to Old Madam Su, "Mother, they won't come out so soon. Why don't you go back to the carriage and wait?"
The weather in July has gradually started to get cooler, but the summer heat has not yet dissipated. The sun has already come out, and she is worried about the old man's health.
I received a letter from Su Guanzhang yesterday, saying that they had found a way out and could leave the mountain with their wives and daughters today.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy.
Although Su Guanzhang's letter said that it would take some time for them to get out, he just asked them to wait in the house.
But Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang had not seen Su Guanzhang, Xuan Jinyu and others for nearly ten months, so they could not bear to wait in the house.
What's more, they are still thinking about their great-granddaughter/granddaughter whom they have never met!
Su Guanzhang also guessed that his grandmother and mother would not wait obediently in the house. Afraid that they would wait outside the mountain for a long time, he got up before dawn.
After preparing breakfast, he woke up Xuan Jinyu.
Xuan Jinyu only murmured, "Hmm." When she opened her eyes, she looked completely still. She looked as if she hadn't gotten much sleep that night.
Su Guanzhang touched her face, feeling a little distressed, and whispered, "You must get a good sleep today."
Both the husband and wife were extremely excited since they came back from the big pit left after the hot spring water receded yesterday and discovered the connecting mountain path. Even Su Guanzhang, who usually did not show his emotions, was the same.
The two of them hardly slept last night. They just hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's warmth and breath.
Slowly, the warmth that settled down gradually suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and the two of them fell into a drowsy sleep for a while.
After finishing breakfast and making sure that nothing was left out, Su Guanzhang held the sleeping Lan Jie'er in one hand and Xuan Jinyu in the other and went down the big rock pit.
The herbs in the two caves had been made into pills or powders. Some of them were sent out of the mountain by Bai Falcon, and some were kept for their own use.
Later, the newly dried and prepared herbs, which had not yet been made into medicine, were packed up by Su Guanzhang in bamboo boxes according to categories yesterday.
The most valuable things for them at the bottom of the cliff are these herbs.
Thinking back to when they first fell off the cliff, they had nothing except the clothes they were wearing, a dagger hidden inside their clothes, and some medicine bottles.
Looking at it now, the two caves are filled with things that they had accumulated bit by bit; some were sent from outside the mountain, and some were made by Su Guanzhang himself.
To say that the couple had no regrets about parting would be the most false statement.
This cave carries the beautiful memories of their family of three, and these things are a testimony to their ordinary but happy life.
But after passing through the huge rock pit and walking side by side toward the outside of the mountain wall, neither of them looked back once.
The sun hadn't risen yet, but in late summer and early autumn, the sky was bright enough to see things.
The white falcon folded its wings and stood quietly on Su Guanzhang's shoulder. It was not curious about the surrounding environment, but just stared at Lan Jie'er's sleeping face.
Su Guanzhang ignored it and just carefully reminded Xuan Jinyu to pay attention to her feet from time to time.
Although he had used his soft sword to clear a path out of the mountain yesterday, there were still too many gravels, weeds and vines under his feet, as well as thorn bushes that had not been cleared thoroughly, so he had to be very careful.
The couple turned right, took a few turns, passed through a bamboo forest, and passed a waterfall before they found a mountain path between two mountains that was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
After exiting the mountain path, they climbed up a small hill and then headed down the mountain. After walking among the rocks and weeds for about a quarter of an hour, the family of three finally made it out.
By this time, an hour and a half had passed and the sun had already risen.
More than half an hour ago, Bai Falcon had become impatient watching the two of them walk like this.
It looked into the eyes of Lan Jie'er, who had just woken up, for a long time before it jumped from Su Guanzhang's shoulder onto a branch and quickly flapped its wings to soar into the sky.
Guessing that it had either gone out to have fun or gone to the house in Huaizhao County first, Xuan Jinyu and Su Guanzhang didn't take its departure to heart.
There is a very tall forest of trees at the exit of the mountain, blocking the view of the mountain inside and outside.
Just as the corners of their clothes were exposed outside the tree, they heard a familiar voice, "Young Master, Young Madam!"
Su Guanzhang shifted slightly, tilted his head to look, and breathed a sigh of relief. He put a little more pressure on Xuan Jinyu's waist and said, "Jinyu, hold on a little longer. Su Twelve and the others are right outside."
Fearing accidents, the couple didn't dare stop along the way. They only stopped briefly to rest when Lan Jie'er got hungry. After feeding her, they continued on their way.
She had barely slept all night, and her condition wasn't great. By this point, she was exhausted, and only with the support of his waist could she make it here smoothly.
If Su Guanzhang had not felt really sorry for Xuan Jinyu and carried her on his back for half an hour, she would probably have been unable to walk.
But Xuan Jinyu felt bad seeing Su Guanzhang carrying one child on his back and holding another in his arms while climbing mountains and wading through water, so she insisted on getting down and walking by herself.
This has almost reached Xuan Jinyu's limit.
Hearing that Su Twelve was outside, she perked up and a warm smile appeared on her tired face.
They were finally going out, leaving the cliff where they had been trapped for nearly ten months.
It wasn't just Su Twelve. When they passed through the woods and walked onto the mountain road outside, they heard a loud voice, "Welcome the young master and the young lady out of the mountain."
Such a big commotion caused the nearby villagers to quietly open their courtyard doors and stick their heads out to watch. Then they saw a fairy couple walking out of the mountain, holding a little fairy child with a sweet smile in their arms.
"The gods have come down to earth." The old woman said to the old man.
Su Guanzhang and Xuan Jinyu completely walked out of the mountain.
Seeing Su Twelve and Su Thirteen standing in front, leading a group of secret guards and imperial guards to salute the two of them, it felt as if they were in another world.
"Get up!" Su Guanzhang said.
The group walked in a mighty procession towards the mountain path where the carriages were parked at the foot of the mountain.
On the way, Su Twelve said: "Sir, the old lady and the mistress are here too, they are outside."
Su Guanzhang nodded and squatted down towards Xuan Jinyu, "Jinyu, come up!"
Thinking it would be a shame to keep her grandmother and mother-in-law waiting any longer, and also because she was really too tired, Xuan Jinyu no longer refused and lay on his broad back.
Su Shier consciously fell behind and did not look at the mistress.
Su Shisan led the female secret guards to follow Su Guanzhang, blocking Xuan Jinyu's figure.
She originally wanted to take the little lady from her master's arms, but Sister Lan just glanced at her and then nestled back into her father's arms, obviously refusing her embrace.
Su Shisan just smiled at her gently and tactfully stepped back.
After Xuan Jinyu married into the Su family, Su Shisan was sent by Su Guanzhang to be by her side for protection, but she had also followed Su Guanzhang before.
When Sister Lan glanced over, her clear eyes contained no emotion, but they were exactly the same as the cold and indifferent look Su Guanzhang usually gave them.
Su Shisan was happy that his master and mistress had a child.
This is their little master.
