Chapter 780 A Dream of Youth 312
The icy river water reached his mouth and nose, and Xie Ning couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of water as the rushing water impacted him.
She was still conscious, so she couldn't just sit and wait to die. She took out a wooden box from her spatial storage and put herself inside.
Although she was tall, she was still young and had small bones, so this wooden box was more than enough to accommodate her.
Looking up at the source of the river, the dilapidated suspension bridge is no longer visible.
She hadn't noticed it on her way here, only remembering that there was a suspension bridge, but she didn't know the exact direction of the river, though it should not leave Bingzhou.
After the cold numbness subsided, the pain in her back gradually seeped into her bone marrow. Xie Ning raised her hand, unsure of how to treat herself.
Excessive blood loss caused her to start feeling dizzy.
This can't go on. Fortunately, she can still get medicine and bandages from her space. However, it's difficult to bandage in this situation. Xie Ning had no choice but to grit her teeth, sprinkle some medicine, and then raise her hand to bandage the key areas to stop the bleeding.
She then took another pill; the fall from the horse had damaged her internal organs, and she could only suppress it by taking the medicine.
After an unknown amount of time, the river's speed gradually decreased. Xie Ning dared not delay and, after regaining some strength, rowed towards the bank. Fortunately, the river had split into two, making it much narrower.
She rolled over and lay face down on the shore, her breathing uneven. She was seriously injured and had exhausted a great deal of strength, and was now barely able to hold on.
Her wet hair clung to her face, making her complexion appear even paler than the snow beside her.
Looking ahead, she saw a snow-covered forest. Xie Ning gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet. The sky was gradually darkening, and she needed to find a safe place to spend the night.
There are wild animals in the wild at this time of year, and she seems to be quite popular with them, but that doesn't mean there won't be any surprises.
However, she needed to change her clothes before leaving, as all her previous clothes were wet, and she couldn't change while curled up in the suitcase. Now that she was injured, she couldn't afford to get cold again.
Touching the wound on her back, Xie Ning couldn't help but sigh deeply. If she hadn't leaned forward a little, she probably would have died on the spot.
Countless times she wondered whether to use other weapons, but each time Xie Ning forced herself to suppress the thought. If she used firearms in front of others, how would she explain it?
She still has to live in this society. One lie requires a thousand lies to cover it up. Drifting in the clouds, it is ultimately illusory and fleeting.
The footprints, some deep and some shallow, were left on the ground, only to be covered by the white snow in an instant.
The hands of the pocket watch ticked away, and after about 15 minutes, Xie Ning finally found a relatively high cave. It was damp inside and there were no signs of hunters, which disappointed Xie Ning.
This means that the place is remote and has never been set foot here, not even by hunters.
Along the way, she gathered some firewood, which she could use to smoke herself out. Then she lit a fire to warm herself up, took out some medicine powder to repel snakes, insects, and rodents, and sprinkled it around. Only then did Xie Ning feel relaxed.
Withered vines blocked half of the cave entrance, and the snowflakes could not be seen clearly in the dark night. After taking his medicine and eating, Xie Ning curled up and fell into a light sleep, with only the wound on his back feeling faintly hot.
She needs to hurry up and recover her health, otherwise she won't be able to leave this mountain forest.
The cold wind of the snowy night swirled up the withered leaves like the wailing of ghosts, but it did not blow into this sheltered cave entrance. The snowflakes drifting from the north also fell into the capital.
Qingxu, who was carrying a bowl of fresh meat to feed Xueqiu, paused and glanced at the snow falling at night. The white snow, bathed in the warm candlelight, didn't seem so cold anymore.
Why is the snow falling so early this year?
After saying this, a smile appeared on her face again. The young lady will be back in a few days. She should be able to celebrate her birthday at home this year. She even embroidered a green bamboo purse for the young lady. She wondered if the young lady would like it.
When the door to the west suite was opened, Snowball, who should have been sleeping inside, was nowhere to be found.
Qingxu didn't realize anything was wrong at the time. Maybe Xueqiu had gone to play with Young Master Chengbiao again. The girl had said that Xueqiu was getting old and shouldn't be running around so much anymore, which was why she hadn't brought it with her to Bingzhou this time.
"Snowball! Come out quickly! Dinner's ready!"
Qingxu called out again and again, but Xueqiu would usually come running over with a howl, but now there was no sound at all. Qingxu finally panicked and hurriedly ran into the main courtyard.
