Li Xianyu! You are so petty!
Zhang You thought bitterly, his heart beating violently, not daring to relax, but the harder he ran, the faster the blood in his neck flowed.
It hurts so much!
Li Xianyu!
You deserve to die!
Zhang You thought with gritted teeth, she had to keep walking because the person behind her was still chasing her and she couldn't slow down.
She didn't know where she was running to, but she knew that from the position where she was standing at that time, she had run deeper into the forest.
It’s so far away, how can Dongmei and the others find me?
Zhang You felt like crying but had no tears. The further she went in, the less people there were. Was she going to send it away...
After Wei Qian came back from hunting, he heard the news that Qiao Si was missing. He went to where they lived, but didn't see Xia He, so he rode his horse back into the woods.
Since Qiao Si returned to Beijing, he had only seen Xia He from afar at the Ling family's chrysanthemum viewing banquet, and had never found a chance to talk to her.
He always felt that she was avoiding him.
Back in Dingzhou, they had dined together at a restaurant. She had consoled herself with pursuing her ideals, and he had assumed they had already been friends. He had intended to take her to Beijing to experience its delicious cuisine after she returned, as they had casually agreed upon, but he hadn't seen her leave the palace alone.
In the past, she would go to a restaurant alone during her days off to enjoy delicious food, but now she stays in Prince Qiao's mansion all day.
He knew that Prince Qiao's Mansion had suffered heavy losses and was now on the verge of collapse. This was the emperor's will, and they had no control over it. He also sympathized with the plight of Prince Qiao's Mansion.
But why did she avoid them all like Qiao Si?
He rode his horse and, following the directions of others, he went further and further into the forest.
It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps coming from behind. He realized that the sound was wrong and extinguished the lantern in his hand in time.
He hid under the vines behind the boulder and listened to the noise getting closer.
until!
He saw through the moonlight that the person was Xia He.
She looked flustered and looked back from time to time. She was holding an arrow in her left hand and covering her neck with her right hand. He looked carefully and found that she was injured and bleeding from her neck.
Without hesitation, he quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab her left wrist.
Zhang You was startled by the person who suddenly appeared at the corner. She wanted to stab him with the arrow in her left hand, but when he came closer, she realized it was Wei Qian.
"Master Wei?" There was disbelief in her voice.
"It's me, come with me." Wei Qian grabbed her and ran quickly.
Zhang You's wrist hurt from being pulled by him, and the wound on her neck felt even more painful.
"Hiss——" Zhang You couldn't help but take a breath.
Wei Qian looked back at her in panic, "What's wrong?" When he saw her frowning and covering her neck in pain, he realized that his actions were too violent and had hurt her wound.
"I'm sorry, I—Ah!"
"ah!"
Wei Qian hadn't finished his apology yet, because he turned around and ran without looking at the road, taking Zhang You with him and falling down the small hill.
↑!
Zhang You couldn't help but curse Wei Qian in his heart.
Why are you looking back when you are running away?
As the world spun around, Zhang You felt a hand protecting her head from behind, while another hand held her tightly.
They quickly rolled down the hillside into the bushes at the bottom of the mountain. Wei Qian had been using his body to shield her, so she had no other wounds on her body.
Zhang You was about to express his gratitude when he heard Wei Qian groan.
Zhang You finally came back to his senses.
!
I forgot there was an arrow in my left hand!
! !
I was just scolding him for running away without looking where he was going, but before I could even throw the arrow, he got hurt!
Zhang You looked at the man in front of him guiltily, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to throw away the arrow in my hand. Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
Before she could finish her words, Wei Qian covered her mouth with his hand. He shook his head at her, indicating that the person chasing him was right above him.
Zhang You quickly fell silent. He was afraid, but also felt relieved: Fortunately, there were bushes blocking the way, so the man couldn't see what was happening below, otherwise they would have been shot into sieves by him.
A shrill voice came from above, "You're lucky." Then there was a rustling sound, and it sounded like he had left.
Zhang You was puzzled. Was this man a eunuch? Was he really one of Li Xianyu's men? Why didn't he just kill them all, instead of giving up? Zhang You couldn't figure it out, and remained in a state of deep thought.
The moonlight was gentle, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the girl's warm breath touched her hands, making them itch, as if a feather were tickling their hearts. Wei Qian's ears flushed, and his cheeks began to heat up. He suddenly retracted his hand, realizing something.
Zhang You heard that the man on the hillside above her head had indeed left. She also saw Wei Qian's sudden movement. The shadow of the tree blocked his expression. She just thought that he had pulled the wound.
"What's wrong? Where are you hurt?" Zhang You moved closer, wanting to see the wound on his body clearly.
The tip of the arrow lodged in his right abdomen. Zhang You stared at the wound, feeling both guilty and ashamed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It happened so suddenly I didn't notice it. Are you seriously injured? Let me bandage you first. I have some medicine for wounds."
Zhang You took out a small white porcelain jar from her waist pouch. Wei Qian looked at the blood on her neck and stopped her from pulling out the arrow for him. "Your neck is injured. Take care of your wound first. Mine is not serious."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, and with the burning pain in her neck, Zhang You took matters into her own hands. Wei Qian wanted to help, but when he saw her bandaging it skillfully, he secretly lowered his raised hand.
Zhang You tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of her inner skirt, wiped the blood from her neck with a handkerchief, applied some medicine on it, and then bandaged it with a piece of cloth. After spending the past few years in Dingzhou, she had already learned how to deal with such injuries.
After Zhang You bandaged his own wound, he started to bandage Wei Qian's wound. Wei Qian wanted to refuse, but the location of his wound was too difficult for him to handle himself, so he had to hand it over to Zhang You.
Zhang You supported him and led him to a brighter spot, where he tended to his wounds by moonlight. Wei Qian had said his injuries weren't serious, but Zhang You leaned in to inspect them, only to discover the scissors were halfway buried in his flesh. If they hadn't been against his ribs, the injury would have been far more severe.
Zhang You had a serious expression as he carefully tore open the cloth covering his wound. Looking at the wound, he estimated that a lot of blood would flow if he pulled the cloth off.
She looked at her skirt: I can't use mine, right?
She raised her head and looked at Wei Qian, "Master Wei, how about I use your clothes to bandage it?"
Wei Qian met her gaze, already picking up his robe and tearing off a piece. Zhang You took the cloth and told him to bear with it for a moment, then deftly pulled out the arrow. Blood spurted out immediately, and Zhang You quickly applied a wound medicine to the wound and bandaged it with cloth.
