Chapter 78 Chapter 78 But Gu Huaijin will definitely come...
Song Yaojie?
The severe pain in her back surged into her mind like a tide, roaring and sweeping away her consciousness. Her vision almost went black for a moment, and she heard herself breathing like a bellows.
It hurts. She's used to enduring pain, but it seems like she hasn't felt this much pain in a long time, ever since Gu Huaijin fell in love with her.
The outlines of the things before her eyes overlapped and spread out like ripples, then merged into one in an instant. She closed her eyes tightly, her knees feeling as if they were burning, and she bent over the pebbles on the mountain path and pushed herself up.
But she managed to stand up with the strength of her legs, but her back felt as if the skin and flesh had been completely torn off, and she had no strength in her upper body. She staggered a few steps with a hunched body, and then fell heavily, hitting her chin on the hard mountain path. She was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.
"Oh, you're such a loser now that no man is on your side? Get up and fight! Don't you want to be the wife of the head of Yishan Sect? You're like this? After two lashes, you're like a stray dog—"
In the distance, Yi Haichuan was being harassed by the eight servants and couldn't escape. He was barely able to save himself when he finally managed to take a look over here. He was terrified:
"Miss Chu! Miss Heng, please don't go too far!"
Heng Huang turned around and glanced at him, biting his lip in a good mood, and smiled:
"Going too far? When you, the Tianshan Sect, broke my wrist, dislocated it, and sent me flying with one palm strike, did you ever consider the meaning of 'going too far'?"
She raised the black whip in her hand. The soft whip that was hanging at Nan Qiong Shuang's feet suddenly slithered back like a snake. Under the sun, her arm blocked the sun, and the sunlight that pierced through was even more dazzling and cruel.
"Originally, all these things happened because of her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gone up the mountain at all." "Let me be clear, I don't lack men, and I don't have to have Gu Huaijin. It's just that someone robbed me of my things for no reason, and I, Heng Huang, can't swallow this anger."
She held the whip and the handle in her hand, walked slowly to Nan Qiong Shuang and squatted down.
Using the handle, gently lift her chin.
Heng Huang was born delicate and childish, and now her face, under the sunlight, revealed a kind of innocent cruelty:
"Don't worry, I won't beat you to death. Gu Huaijin's temper isn't as good as before, and I don't want to provoke him. But——"
She smiled:
"After all, she's just a boat girl. Even if she's beaten half to death, we in Hengshan can still handle her."
Yi Haichuan: "Ms. Heng!"
Heng Huang stood up and whipped her feet again with the black whip:
"Run, I'll let you run. It's fun when you run. I'll stop when you reach the gate of Muxueyuan where you two made peace. How's that?"
Nan Qiongshuang looked at her arrogant expression, closed her eyes to calm her breathing, and laughed angrily.
A whip is a weapon that hits harder the further you run. This thing is not afraid of people running away. She thinks she doesn't know?
However, even if she stayed close to Heng Huang, she would probably have other tricks to torture her.
For example, Hengshan’s fire boomerang.
It was really troublesome. If Song Yaojie wasn't here, she might have strangled her with spider silk.
Why on earth is Song Yaojie joining in the fun?!
Nan Qiongshuang gritted her teeth, looked at Heng Huang's pair of eyes that were smiling like crescent moons, rubbed her palms on the pebbled mountain path, climbed up inch by inch with difficulty, and stumbled forward.
Heng Huang waited patiently for her to run away, "I'll let you run, and give you five counts. Five——"
There were gravels scattered on the mountain path. I stepped on them in a panic, and my feet were slippery and bumpy. I almost slipped a step and a half with every step I took.
Heng Huang: "Four, three——"
She skirted the gravel on the ground, endured the burning pain in her knees and back, and ran up. After turning a corner, Heng Huang's figure disappeared, but the voice was still there: "Two--"
She looked up and saw a white waterfall in front of her, rushing down the mountain, cutting the endless sea of yellow roses below into two halves, with a thunderous sound of water.
"one--"
The creepy rustling sound of wind rang in her ears as expected.
She didn't know how long she could last if she continued to be beaten like this.
Besides, Heng Huang's temperament was so fickle. Even though he said he wouldn't kill her, that didn't mean he wouldn't. He might just kill her and Yi Haichuan to silence them, and then report them missing to Gu Huaijin.
She can do it.
Her black hair whizzed over, and under the sun, a thin shadow went straight to her back which was already covered in blood.
If she really died, Gu Huaijin would never let her off easily. She had seen all kinds of life-or-death situations, so why should she do what she wanted here?
She smiled for a moment, and met her eyes that were filled with joy and satisfaction:
"——You can have fun by yourself. I won't accompany you anymore."
After saying that, in front of Heng Huang, who was struck by lightning, and Yi Haichuan, who was scared out of his wits, he jumped into the white waterfall.
Most of the waterfalls on the mountain are the snow water that flows down after the snow on the mountain top melts. They are crystal clear and freezing cold. Once people enter, they will instantly become paralyzed and lose consciousness.
She was swept into the icy water and fell involuntarily with the waterfall. The icy water hit her head and face. She fell without any support, and her internal organs were emptied and moved to different places.
Everything in front of my eyes was white and I couldn’t see anything clearly.
The few seconds leading up to death always seem particularly long.
She had experienced this kind of moment several times and would not be overly desperate.
With a "bang", she was like a meteor, being hammered into the water by the waterfall. Her bones were almost crushed by gravity. Severe pain and suffocation in the darkness came to her.
She was tossed up and down in the cold pond, her muscles numb and her bones aching. She had no strength left and simply let the water flow. Apart from trying hard to keep her head up to breathe, she refused to use any strength at all.
Once she stopped struggling, she wouldn't panic. After years of assassination, she was a good swimmer, and she could still occasionally surface to catch her breath.
I don't know how long it took to fight with the fast-flowing water, but finally, the cold river water bypassed a shallow beach, lifted the dying person onto the shore, and flowed down the mountain.
The shadows of the trees are mottled and the sunlight is pouring down.
The turquoise river water sparkled and sparkled in the sunlight.
She vomited a few mouthfuls of water. The icy snow water entered her stomach and froze her from the inside out.
The river flowed under her, carrying away the blood from her back and dyeing the river a light red.
She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then lay down on the river bank exhausted.
Her long eyelashes trembled twice, and she called softly, "Mist Blade."
No one spoke.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
He tried again, calling out, "Mist Blade."
Birds chirped in the forest, and two or three monkeys stepped on the rocks in the stream, jumping across the stream in the scattered shadows of the sun.
But there was no sound of the fog knife.
She laughed.
Mist Blade, lost?
This is quite interesting.
Putting aside the fact that she now had the opportunity to escape from the Rebirth Gate, even if she behaved herself and continued to return to Tianshan to complete her mission, after everything was over, she would report the matter to the Rebirth Gate, and Wu Dao would be sentenced to death, and he would be punished alive.
This bastard is doomed if he falls into her hands.
You deserve it.
She sneered and struggled to get out of the icy river water.
Only after this movement did I realize how serious the injuries were.
Heng Huang was obviously extremely jealous of her, and he used all his strength to whip her, causing the skin on her back to curl up. Any movement would pull the muscles on her back, causing her to gasp in pain.
It's not that she doesn't feel pain, she's just good at enduring it.
What's more, these days, Gu Huaijin treated her like the apple of his eye. She had lived a good life for too long, and suddenly she tasted some of the old feelings. No matter how used to it, it was a little unbearable.
Right now, there is absolutely no way Gu Huaijin can help her.
She looked up at the overlapping shadows of the trees above her head. The sunlight swayed and filtered through, making her squint.
You have to get used to it. Gu Huaijin's love and protection are temporary.
Gu Huaijin is a temporary person.
She laughed, and with all her strength she stood up from the wet river, intending to go downstream.
Perhaps Gu Huaijin hadn't come down from Sanqing Peak yet. However, Heng Huang had no reason to kill Yi Haichuan, so he probably wouldn't actually do it. As long as Yi Haichuan wasn't dead, it was only a matter of time before Gu Huaijin realized she'd been bullied and jumped off the waterfall.
And, it will be soon.
Soon, people all over the mountain will tell each other and come together to look for her.
It would be easy for her to meet someone who was willing to take her back to see Gu Huaijin.
Anyway, everyone in the mountain will come to find her, and it doesn’t matter whether you go up or down the mountain. It would be better to go down the mountain along the river, which would save more effort.
That afternoon, Nan Qiongshuang kept stumbling and stumbling in the dense forest.
Because of the serious injuries he had suffered and having been soaking in the ice waterfall for an unknown amount of time, he gradually became exhausted as he walked. He felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he was shivering so much that his bones were knocking against each other. His head was also dizzy.
She knew that he was seriously injured and frozen in the snow, and he had started to have a fever.
Just like when Gu Huaijin was whipped seventy times to save her.
As I walked, I was in a daze and it was night.
When she woke up again, she found that it was already dark. The forest was pitch black, and a crescent moon hung palely in the sky, as if someone's dark robe had been torn.
Three or four owls were huddled on a branch, screaming miserably. There was no light at all, only the eyes of these birds, like will-o'-the-wisp, glowing dimly in the night.
She didn't even know when she fell down or when she fainted. When she found herself slowly waking up, she was surprised.
It is definitely not suitable to travel in such deep mountains and dense forests at night.
only.
She was badly injured and had a fever. She just fell here alone, not knowing if she would see the sun tomorrow.
Even if she couldn't hold on, she would at least collapse somewhere close to the mountain path. Maybe Gu Huaijin had already heard the news and sent people all over the mountain to look for her?
Only then did she realize that at the critical moment of life and death, she had naturally begun to rely on Gu Huaijin.
Wu Dao will never come to save her. Li Xuanbai may come, or he may not.
But Gu Huaijin will definitely come.
He wouldn't leave her here alone.
She didn't know what to feel for a moment. In the pitch-black night, she numbly covered her face with her hands for at least two minutes.
It's very strange. I know Wu Dao isn't here, but I'm still afraid.
Afraid of discovering something.
She trembled even more violently, her body alternating between hot and cold, as if she had just fallen into an icy cave and then thrown into a frying pan. She had to hug herself, hold down her trembling arms, squat down, and force her legs to stop shaking.
She was sick today and started to have wild thoughts.
In their line of work, the most taboo is to let your imagination run wild. The more you think, the more mistakes you make, and in the end, you end up losing your life.
She bit her lip, finally stood up slowly, took a step, and continued to walk downstream along the river.
Late at night, the mud was slippery and the road was invisible, so stumbling twice every three steps was common. In time, she had become accustomed to losing her balance and falling down the mud slope, and also accustomed to the tearing pain in her back. She even began to appreciate the burning pain in her back.
At least the pain kept her awake.
Later, even pain could not keep her awake.
At some point, her consciousness began to become chaotic again.
But she didn't even know that she was in a daze.
Until one step is empty.
In the darkness, she was suddenly awakened from her dream by the sound of splashing water. She then realized that she had fallen into the water again without knowing when.
Forget it. She could swim, but she was exhausted, at the end of her rope.
When people are very close to death, they may be very afraid of it. But when they are only a hair's breadth away from death, they are often left with only a deep sleepiness.
She helplessly let the water sweep her away, and suddenly a mouthful of cold water choked her mouth and nose, making her nasal cavity sore and astringent. She woke up for a moment, and suddenly, with a "bang", something hit her forehead hard.
She didn't have the energy to be angry. Her vision was already blurry, and the darkness gradually closed in.
Before the last bit of consciousness disappeared, she saw clearly that the thing that hit her brain and almost exploded was a piece of driftwood.
If you climb up, you might still be able to survive.
But forget it, I'm really tired.
Sui'an rolled his hands into a horn, leaned over to her ear and yelled at the top of his lungs:
"Wake up! Sister! Everything is right in front of you!"
Her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Sui An: “Sister!!!”
Nan Qiong Shuang's cracked lips opened and closed for a moment: "Don't make noise."
Sui'an: "Please consider my brother-in-law!!!"
Nan Qiong Shuang: "...Which brother-in-law of yours?"
Suddenly it was Gu Huaijin's face.
He picked up a strand of her long hair, put it to his lips, closed his eyes and kissed her: "Jiaojiao, wait for me."
On the left, Gu Huaijin hugged her and kissed her pleadingly with his warm and cool lips, from her lips to her neck, his face pale as a ghost.
On the right, Sui'an was shouting and yelling, and the hair on his forehead was all blown up.
She closed her eyes, sighed, and used all her strength to hold on to the driftwood. She jumped, pressed the driftwood under her body, and lay on it.
In a daze, she heard Gu Huaijin ask her, "What do you mean by 'which brother-in-law'?"
She tried her best: "...get out."
Gu Huaijin leaned against the headboard and turned another page of the document: "Jiaojiao, what exactly does 'which brother-in-law' mean?"
On a midsummer night, fireflies flew out from the flowers and trees under the window, twinkling like glowing dust.
She lay on Gu Huaijin's lap, fanning herself intermittently, "Where on earth did you hear that?"
"I don't know." A little ink from the brush rubbed off on his fingertips. "But it seems like you said it. You were answering a young girl."
"Nonsense." She fanned herself and swatted away the mosquitoes that had landed on the quilt. "You're so jealous every day. It's either Li Xuanbai or someone else—"
She yawned and covered herself with the quilt.
Gu Huaijin was behind her, tucking the corner of the quilt into her arms carefully. "Are you cold? It's so hot, and you're covering yourself tightly."
She was sleepy and murmured, "A little."
Gu Huaijin sighed, "I'll ask Mr. Qu Shu to come and prescribe two prescriptions for you tomorrow. I'll hold you to sleep later. You're in very poor health, and you're not careful enough. I asked you to take some medicine, but you didn't take it properly. I've been following you around and worrying about you every day."
She ignored him, curled up on his lap like a cat, and yawned again: "Who told you to worry about me? I didn't ask you to care about me."
Late at night, Gu Huaijin was silent for a moment, then poked her cheek with his index finger, "You are so heartless to say such things."
He leaned over, brushed the hair away from her ears, and gave her a gentle and intense kiss:
"When you fall asleep, I'll torture you and see what you do."
When I woke up again, it was still dark.
It was pitch black and she still had no idea where she was.
Just cold, painful, and exhausted.
She lay on a piece of driftwood and was washed into a dark cave. The river was still rushing in, and her driftwood was stuck in the reeds at the cave entrance, stuck between a huge rock and the river bank.
It was so cold that my body almost hurt.
However, right now, I don’t know if it’s because I’m freezing or if I’m actually in pain.
No one cares no matter how cold it is.
She lowered her eyes and moved her five fingers. She was surprised to find that although her joints were stiff from the cold, she could still move them if she tried to move them.
Now that I can move, I have to go ashore. The water is too cold.
With the help of the moonlight, she grabbed the dense reeds on the river bank, pushed away the driftwood in front of her, and pulled herself ashore step by step, gritting her teeth.
My hands were wet and very slippery, and I used so much brute force that even the reed stems cut my hands a few times.
Compared with the other injuries on her body, that little injury was nothing, so she ignored it.
She stood on the shore tremblingly, and then she realized that she had been floating in the water for too long. Once she got ashore, her whole body felt too heavy to bear. Her steps were already unsteady, and she almost fell back into the river. She barely managed to hold on to a tree on the shore.
She took a few breaths and looked around in the moonlight.
Going down the river, we should reach the gate of Tianshan Mountain. How come we are at the entrance of this cave?
What's inside this cave? Could it be a cave like the Death Water Prison?
She didn't want to go in, so she walked to the front of the cave and looked inside despite giving up.
When I saw it, I was stunned.
At the other end of the cave, there was a faint red light.
Is there anyone in this cave?
She couldn't believe it, so she stepped on the river bank, tested the solidity of the ground beneath her feet, and then, holding onto the stone wall of the cave, she walked in carefully.
The cave was very short, so short that after walking a few steps, I could see something at the end of the cave.
The flickering lights reflected in her eyes, forming a trembling sea of brilliance.
Nan Qiong Shuang scratched the stone wall, unable to believe it.
Thousands of twinkling lights filled the entire sky of the town at the foot of the mountain, making the sky red.
Here is the market at the foot of the mountain.
The market at the foot of the mountain, bypassing the Tianshan Sect's mountain-sealing restrictions.
This is a secret passage out of the mountain.
