Chapter 155: Jumping off a cliff



Zhang Shaoqi suddenly felt something was wrong, and the sharp arrow in his hand flew out of his hand. Han Xiao saw the arrow flying towards him from the corner of his eye, and used all his strength to turn his body in the air and block the arrow.

The young master did not see it because he had his eyes closed. The arrow pierced Han Xiao's back and his mouth suddenly tasted blood.

Han Xiao groaned, and at the moment he fell into the water, Han Xiao seemed to hear Lu Qingyun's voice.

Damn, that dance went badly.

I should wait a little longer before mocking Zhang Shaoqi. This was the only thought in Han Xiao's mind before he lost consciousness.

Lu Qingyun was horrified to see Han Xiao fall into the water after being shot by an arrow. He jumped off his horse and ran to the cliff. At this time, there was no trace of Han Xiao and the other man in the water.

Zhang Shaoqi didn't expect that Lu Qingyun would come to him, and the two sides immediately became tense.

Lu Qingyun calmed down and said, "Someone go find it for me."

Zhang Shaoqi was about to send someone to look for Han Xiao and the other man, but was stopped by the guards: "Sir, do not act rashly."

Their pursuit of the young master was carried out in secret. If it became known to everyone, it would only affect Empress Zhang who was far away in the palace.

Zhang Shaoqi threw away the bow and arrow fiercely. He regretted that he should not have let Han Xiao go.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Shaoqi jumped on his horse and led his men away in a quick and decisive manner.

Lu Qingyun had no chance and no chance to kill Han Xiao here, so he could only secretly find someone to look for Han Xiao along the stream.

If possible, try to find Han Xiao and the others before Lu Qingyun.

When Lu Qingyun saw Zhang Shaoqi leave, his face turned cold. When he led his men to find Yan Hu and Li Cui'er, he ran over to rescue Han Xiao without any delay.

Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late. Ruan Xiuran also rode over at this time. Seeing Lu Qingyun's expression was not good, he had a bad premonition in his heart: "Brother Lu, where are my brother and Han Xiao?"

Lu Qingyun pursed his lips before speaking, "When I rushed over just now, I saw Han Xiao carrying the young master into the water. I have already sent people to look for him along the current."

Ruan Xiuran jumped off the horse, walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the situation below.

The stream was rushing, and when he looked down he could see nothing but water. Ruan Xiuran punched the ground hard, and blood immediately flowed out.

Lu Qingyun seemed to be hesitant to speak, but looking at Ruan Xiuran's expression, he could only let him vent first.

After a long while, Lu Qingyun stepped forward and supported Ruan Xiuran's shoulders. "Xiuran, go back first. I've sent people to look for Han Xiao. Follow the current... If nothing unexpected happens, we'll find them soon."

Lu Qingyun stood there for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "I want to go find it myself."

"Oh... wait for me, I'll go with you!" Lu Qingyun hurriedly followed Ruan Xiuran's footsteps to find Han Xiao's whereabouts. Neither of them would believe that Han Xiao would die so easily.

Han Xiao, who was being searched by many people, woke up in a thatched house. Han Xiao opened his eyes and subconsciously looked for the young master.

The pain in his shoulders and back made him grimace in pain. It took him a lot of effort to sit up and take a look at the situation in the room.

Han Xiao almost thought that time had gone back to when he just woke up from the Han family. For a moment, Han Xiao's brows were furrowed.

The wound on his shoulder had obviously been treated and the arrow in his back had been removed. Han Xiao moved his body and pushed open the door.

An indescribable stench hit Han Xiao's face, and he covered his nose. It turned out that there was a pigpen opposite the room.

A few fat domestic pigs lay on the wall and looked at Han Xiao curiously.

Han Xiao turned his eyes away in disgust and leaned against the wall to look for someone. He just didn't believe it. Is there no one here at this moment?

Just as Han Xiao walked out, a hunched old lady came towards him. Seeing that Han Xiao had woken up, she said in surprise: "Young man, you're awake!"

Han Xiao thought that it must be the old lady's relatives who saved him, so Han Xiao bowed deeply to the old lady: "Thank you very much for saving my life!"

The old lady smiled kindly and waved her hand: "In the future, it wasn't me, an old woman, who saved you. It was my grandson who fished you out of the river."

Han Xiao carefully heard the old lady say "you guys", and Han Xiao was delighted and asked hurriedly: "Old lady, where is the boy who was with me?"

"You mean your husband? He's gone to help fetch water and will be back soon. Go lie down quickly. The young man is seriously injured."

The old lady kept muttering, but Han Xiao showed no impatience at all. He told the old lady everything she asked.

Han Xiao didn't know what the young master told the old lady, but the old lady didn't ask about Han Xiao's injuries at all.

"Gurgle~" Han Xiao's stomach growled, and the old lady's chattering stopped abruptly. She slapped her thigh before continuing, "Look at me, I'm old, I even forgot that you just woke up and may not have eaten yet. You must be hungry, young man. I'll go find you something to eat."

Han Xiao was not embarrassed, but nodded calmly. Touching his belly, Han Xiao followed the old lady to the kitchen.

Looking at the environment of the old lady's home, you can tell that her family conditions may not be very good. The most valuable things are probably the pigs in the fence, which are usually not sold until the Chinese New Year.

The old lady heated up some leftovers for Han Xiao, which were all brown rice and wild vegetables. Han Xiao didn't choose and just filled his stomach first.

After finishing the meal quickly, the old lady took the bowl and chopsticks from Han Xiao and put them aside.

"Old lady, can you take me to find my husband?" Han Xiao felt that he was almost recovered now, except for some pain in his back and shoulders. However, both wounds had scabbed over, probably because of the wild ginseng.

The old lady scolded Han Xiao disapprovingly: "Why are you so impatient, young man? I told you that your husband will be back soon, so go back and rest first."

As she spoke, the old hand using a dry branch pushed Han Xiao's arm and led him into the room. Han Xiao had no choice but to follow the old lady back.

"Your husband specifically told me to take good care of you. But your husband is really virtuous and spent a lot of money on your injury."

The old lady kept talking about what happened when the young master just woke up.

It turned out that Han Xiao and the young master had floated along the stream to Changhe Village yesterday. It was the old lady's grandson Chen Dazhu who had sharp eyes and saw Han Xiao and the young master in the water.

When they were fished out, everyone thought they were a pair of star-crossed lovers who had committed suicide. However, Chen Dazhu discovered that they were still breathing, so he quickly called a doctor to save them.

At that time, the young master quickly woke up, untied Han Xiao's belt on his body, and asked the doctor to save Han Xiao first.

Maybe Han Xiao was not destined to die. The famous doctor from Changhe Village happened to be on his way home to visit his relatives, and was forcibly dragged over by the young master. This is how Han Xiao saved his life.
