Upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward to greet them.
As the torches shone closer, everyone was terrified by the scene before them.
"Miss Lin, are you injured somewhere? Why are you covered in blood!" Tie Dan Niang asked shrilly.
Oh my god, this is a young lady from a wealthy family. To suffer like this, Lord Lin's heart must be breaking.
Lin Xiyao shook her head shyly and said, "It wasn't me, it was Young Master Han."
Everyone then turned their attention to Han Mingyue, only to see that the left side of Han Mingyue's moon-white robe was almost completely stained red.
Seeing everyone looking at her with concern, Han Mingyue smiled shyly.
However, in the next instant, everything went black before Han Mingyue's eyes, and all her strength was drained, causing her to collapse to the ground.
Luckily, Yuanbao caught it.
"Young Master Han, what happened? Why did you faint?" Li Ershu rushed forward to help Yuanbao support Han Mingyue and asked anxiously.
Chang'an put the wild boar on the ground, quickly stepped forward, and carried Han Mingyue on his back.
"Young Master Han is injured and has lost too much blood. He has fainted. We must get him to Donghai Town quickly!" Chang'an said as he jogged off.
It's not curfew yet. If Chang'an is quick, he can get Han Mingyue to the clinic before the city gates close.
Because Chang'an knew martial arts, he could run faster than ordinary people, which is why he took on this job.
Yuanbao jogged along, closely following Chang'an's footsteps, until they gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Lin Xiyao couldn't help but hug Gu Lili and cry out, "Lili, it's all my fault. I've caused Young Master Han to suffer like this. What should I do?"
Gu Lili patted Lin Xiyao's shoulder while patiently comforting her.
"Alright, Yao Yao, stop crying. I know you didn't mean it. Young Master Han is a lucky man and will definitely be alright. Your foot is injured right now, so why don't you have someone take you and Cui Zhu down the mountain, and you can also go to the clinic to get checked out."
As for Gu Lili, she still has to wait for the people who haven't come down the mountain yet.
Only after making sure everyone has descended the mountain can Gu Lili feel at ease to attend to other matters.
Lin Xiyao shook her head and cried, "No, Lili, I want to wait here for Father and the people who haven't come down the mountain yet!"
If anyone else were to suffer an accident because of her, Lin Xiyao felt she would be utterly responsible and deserved to die a thousand deaths.
"Yaoyao, listen to me. I will make sure your father and everyone else get home safely. You don't want your father to see you like this, do you?" Gu Lili gently persuaded.
"Go with him. If the wound needs stitching, give this medicine to Young Master Han. It will temporarily numb the pain," Gu Lili continued.
Lin Xiyao sobbed as she looked down at herself, took the medicine from Gu Lili, and finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.
So, Tie Dan's mother carried Lin Xiyao down the mountain.
Li Ershu and an uncle from the village carried the wild boar down the mountain.
Someone needs to drive Lin Xiyao down the mountain later.
The Lin family's carriage was parked in front of Gu Lili's house. Li Ershu happened to be driving the carriage, so Gu Lili asked Lin Xiyao to go with him.
She also asked Tie Dan's mother to go along so that she could take care of Lin Xiyao.
After all, her second uncle was a man, and Cuizhu was also injured.
After everything was arranged, Gu Lili took out several more fireworks from her sleeve and lit them.
Fireworks rose into the sky one after another, emitting sharp explosions.
At the same time, it lit up the sky above Gu Lili and the others.
After seeing the fireworks, the people on the mountain gradually came down.
After descending the mountain, none of them left; instead, they continued to hold their torches and wait for those behind them.
Although everyone was starving at that moment.
However, most of the people on the mountain are people who see each other every day. Although they may occasionally bicker over trivial matters, no one wants anything to happen to the other.
We gathered together to wait and see who was missing, and then we would go and look for them.
After about an hour, the villagers who went up the mountain to look for the person returned.
"Is anyone missing?" Gu Lili asked the crowd.
But she knew perfectly well that only Lord Lin had not yet returned.
Gu Lili sets off fireworks every now and then; I wonder if Lord Lin saw them.
Li Tiansheng said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Lord Lin will be missing."
"Everyone must be hungry, why don't you all go back and eat? We'll find something ourselves. Thank you all so much for your help today, please go and rest. I'll thank you all properly tomorrow," Gu Lili said to everyone.
It wasn't that Gu Lili was afraid everyone wouldn't want to help, but if the villagers went into the mountains again, she didn't know if they would also encounter danger.
She went with her family, at least they had space to rely on.
Everyone strongly disagreed. "Lili, you're being too polite. How can we let a little girl like you risk your life alone? Let's go together!"
Although everyone was hungry, they could endure it.
When we're poor, sometimes we don't even have enough to eat for a whole day, but that's no big deal.
Gu Lili thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
At worst, we can all stay together and walk the same route, so that if we encounter any danger, we can all look out for each other.
Just as the crowd was preparing to go up the mountain, Big Black started barking wildly towards the other side of the mountain.
It barked and wagged its tail.
This means you must have run into someone you know.
"Has Lord Lin come down the mountain?" Gu Lili said, pointing into the distance.
Lord Lin visited Gu Lili's house almost every day, and Old Hei recognized him.
The crowd hurriedly carried torches toward the direction where the old man had called, and after passing a few trees, they found it was indeed Lord Lin.
Although Lord Lin does farm work every day, he pays great attention to his appearance.
But the Lord Lin who appeared before everyone at this moment had disheveled hair and a haggard face that even the darkness of night could not hide.
Lord Lin also saw Gu Lili and quickly ran towards her.
"Princess, is my daughter alright?" Lord Lin asked in a hoarse voice.
That hoarse voice had called out to Lin Xiyao countless times in the deep mountains.
Gu Lili nodded and comforted her, "Yaoyao is fine. She suffered a minor injury and has already been sent to town for treatment. Lord Lin, you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Lord Lin's tense nerves completely relaxed, and he sat down with a thud.
He was already well-fed and well-rested, and the fact that he was able to go up the mountain to search for Lin Xiyao for so long was entirely due to his willpower.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Lord Lin's attendant and Gu Lili asked in unison.
Lord Lin waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm fine, I just don't have the strength."
Hearing that Lin Xiyao was alright, Lord Lin relaxed and then realized he was hungry.
Some villagers stepped forward and helped Lord Lin up.
"Lord Lin, it's late and the dew is heavy on the mountain. Let's go down and rest."
