Chapter 113: He guarded her all night, and only he could give her a sense of security! (4,000 words)
Thinking that it might be robbers, Jiang Youning felt her legs were so weak that she couldn't even walk now, let alone run.
At this time, the moon was in the sky.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, like a death warrant.
Jiang Youning walked behind the bushes with her weak body and hid her whole body in the grass.
With the arrival of the sound of horse hooves, she saw a group of men on horseback flying past. It was too dark and she couldn't see whether they were robbers or others.
But it was safer to hide.
Jiang Youning breathed a sigh of relief when the sound of horse hooves went away. After her nerves relaxed, fatigue and hunger followed.
She sat on the ground, too tired to even raise her hands.
At this moment, the only things on her mind were eating, getting into bed, and sleeping.
But she knew that no matter how tired or hungry she was, she had to stand up and walk back, otherwise it would be freezing cold and she would either starve to death or freeze to death.
Jiang Youning slowly stood up, holding on to the tree beside her, and encouraged herself. As long as she got home, she would have braised pork to eat.
She walked not fast, and moved forward at a very slow pace.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind again.
Listening carefully, it sounded like the sound of a horse running.
Are there lone robbers?
Jiang Youning shouted in her heart, "It's over!"
She had to hide quickly.
She hurried to the grass by the roadside. It was dark. She accidentally stepped on a small stone, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.
The injured part was injured for the nth time.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, she knew that people were getting closer.
Jiang Youning managed to stand up with her last breath. A gust of cold wind blew and she shivered.
She sprained her ankle when she fell just now, and it hurt terribly when she walked.
Jiang Youning listened to the sound of horse hooves and was extremely anxious. She looked back and saw a figure. She thought that this time it was really over and she was going to be discovered.
It was too late to hide. She pulled out the last hairpin in her hair and held it tightly in her palm.
Her hair was tangled, and her already messy hair became even more messy.
Her cousin had taught her how to defend herself from wolves and how to give first aid when she encountered a threat.
Unfortunately, she was not very strong, and she did not know martial arts in ancient times.
Fortunately, women in ancient times would wear this hairpin in their temples, which could save their lives at the critical moment.
Looking at the galloping horse, it would be a lie to say that she was not afraid. No matter how scared she was, she had to force herself to save herself.
Xie Jing did not dare to stop for a moment on his horse and moved forward quickly.
Under the moonlight, he saw a figure standing not far away. As a martial artist, his eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people. He
recognized it as Jiang Youning at a glance.
Less than two feet away, he tightened the reins and the horse neighed.
He threw away the reins, jumped off the horse, and walked quickly to Jiang Youning.
"Aning."
Jiang Youning saw that the Taoist on the horse looked very much like Xie Jing. It was not until she heard a familiar voice that she was sure that the person was Xie Jing.
Seeing Xie Jing, she felt safe.
Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and a feeling of hunger, severe pain, and fatigue came over her all at once. Her legs softened and she fell down.
Xie Jing was quick to catch her before she fell.
"Aning, it's me."
Jiang Youning looked at the blurry handsome face and said weakly, "General, I'm so hungry!"
After that, she closed her eyes, tilted her head, and passed out.
Xie Jing saw her faint, and his heart tightened, "Aning?"
The person in his arms didn't react at all, and the clothes on her body were very thin. There were so many robbers, and they were extremely vicious. She must have been scared.
Xie Jing picked her up and strode to the horse. He carried her on the horse and ran towards the city gate.
At this time, in the main hall of the general's mansion, the old lady was sitting on a chair, looking outside from time to time, with a worried look on her face.
"It's dark, why haven't you come back yet?"
Rong's mother was also worried, "Old lady, I'll go out and take a look."
The old lady nodded, "You go and take a look quickly."
Rong's mother responded and went out.
Du Huilan glanced outside. Jiang Youning was taken away by the robbers. Even if she was rescued, she would not be clean anymore and would definitely be divorced by Xie Jing.
Then, she, the concubine, could be promoted to the wife.
She restrained her smug look, looked at the old lady, and comforted her, "Old lady, don't worry, Madam will return safely."
Nan Mianmian had just learned that Jiang Youning was in trouble. She looked at the old lady, "Old lady, I heard that the robbers were extremely cruel, and Madam is a weak woman. I'm afraid it's very dangerous."
Of course the old lady knew the danger, so she was so worried. Jiang Youning was obviously a timid woman. How could she encounter such a dilemma?
Mother Rong walked in quickly from outside, "Madam, the general has found the lady."
The old lady stood up excitedly and asked, "Where is that person? Where is she now?"
Mother Rong said, "The general carried the lady back to Lingxi Courtyard."
The old lady heard this and said, "Go and have a look."
Mother Rong helped the old lady out.
When Du Huilan heard what Mother Rong said, she thought that she would never be found, but it was useless to find her now, as she must have been ruined by the robbers.
She watched the old lady walk out and followed her out.
Nan Mianmian followed him out, and looking at Du Huilan who took a step forward, she smiled and said, "Sister Du, you are in a good mood now, right?"
Du Huilan glanced at Nan Mianmian, "What do you mean by that?"
Nan Mianmian said, "The Madam is in trouble, and you have a great chance of being promoted to the position of the wife. Aren't you happy?"
Du Huilan snorted coldly: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't keep your words to yourself. I don't have this idea."
Nan Mianmian naturally didn't believe Du Huilan's words, "Whether it's true or not, you know it best in your heart."
Du Huilan snorted: "Believe it or not." Then she walked towards Lingxi Courtyard.
Nan Mianmian rolled her eyes, "We have known each other for so long, I know your little tricks thoroughly."
In Lingxi Courtyard, Xie Jing put Jiang Youning, who had fainted, on the bed and saw that her pink clothes were all covered in blood.
On the battlefield, he had seen soldiers covered in blood countless times, and he thought he was used to it.
But seeing Jiang Youning covered in blood, he was so nervous. It would hurt to carry her delicate body. How painful would it be for her to move around with so many injuries?
Chuntao was frightened and cried when she saw Jiang Youning like this, "Madam... sob, those murderers are simply not human beings. Madam is so weak, how can they have the heart to do it?"
Xie Jing ordered: "Go prepare hot water and wipe her body."
Chuntao finally reacted and hurriedly replied: "I'll go now."
After Chuntao left, Xie Jing began to check the wounds on her body with nervous hands.
The clothes were pulled open, and after searching up and down for a while, no wounds were seen, and the clothes inside were intact.
He reacted and the blood was most likely from the robbers. He
breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the little face, which was pale at the moment, with a lot of blood on the face and messy hair.
He reached out his hand to brush away the messy hair on her forehead, only to see that her brows were wrinkled, as if she was in a nightmare.
Seeing that Wen Xianyu was still not here, he shouted: "Why hasn't Wen Xianyu come yet?"
"I'm on the way."
As soon as the voice fell, Wen Xianyu hurried in, "General, I'm here."
He strode to the bed, put down the medical kit in his hand, came to the bed, and looked at Jiang Youning on the bed.
Wen Xianyu is a military doctor, no matter what kind of injuries, she has seen.
But seeing Jiang Youning like this, he was still a little shocked.
"Why is there so much blood? The injury is very serious."
Wen Xianyu was about to bandage the wound with medicine when he heard Xie Jing say, "This is not her blood."
Wen Xianyu immediately understood what he meant. When he treated the wounded soldiers on the battlefield, he often saw people covered in blood. There were no wounds on their bodies, but the blood belonged to the enemy.
Wen Xianyu carefully examined her pulse.
After a while, as soon as Wen Xianyu withdrew his hand, Xie Jing asked, "How is she?"
Wen Xianyu said, "Madam suffered only external injuries, and she was frightened. I'm afraid she was seriously frightened."
Xie Jing knew without Wen Xianyu's words that she was kidnapped by robbers and must have been frightened.
At this time, Chuntao came in with hot water. She put the hot water on the table beside her. Seeing Wen Xianyu, she asked hurriedly: "Doctor Wen, what happened to my wife? Will she be okay?"
Chuntao started crying.
Wen Xianyu said: "Don't worry, she just suffered superficial injuries and fright."
Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
Xie Jing asked him, "Why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Wen Xianyu said: "Madam is too frightened and too tired, leading to a deep sleep. She will wake up naturally."
Xie Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, I will go to prepare the medicine." Wen Xianyu went to prepare the medicine.
Xie Jing glanced at Jiang Youning on the bed, and then followed Wen Xianyu out.
Chuntao looked at Jiang Youning's wolfish appearance and felt very distressed.
She undressed Jiang Youning and saw the bruises all over her body, which made her feel even more distressed.
Those robbers were just beasts.
Chuntao came to the bed with a wet towel and wiped it carefully. She comforted her, "Miss, I will be gentle. Just bear with it. It will be fine soon."
Coming out of the inner room, Xie Jing saw the old lady in the outer room and took a few steps forward.
The old lady saw her son and asked worriedly, "How is Youning?"
Xie Jing said, "She only had superficial injuries and was too frightened."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, "That's good. I was scared to death."
Du Huilan didn't believe that Jiang Youning was taken away by the robbers. She only had superficial injuries. She heard from the old lady that there were dozens of robbers.
"General, how did Madam escape? Did she catch the robbers?"
Xie Jing answered concisely: "She escaped by herself. Leng Xiao has already caught the robbers."
Du Huilan showed a surprised look, "Madam, this is too amazing. She can escape with so many robbers? She is much better than the girl from the Wu family." The fact that the
girl from the Wu family was taken away by the robbers was known to everyone in Jinling.
After being kidnapped, the girl from the Wu family was insulted to death by the robbers.
Xie Jing felt a little lucky that Jiang Youning escaped by herself, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Then he heard Du Huilan say, "The girl from the Wu family may have been insulted by a group of robbers and felt ashamed to live in this world, so she secretly committed suicide." Jiang Youning was insulted but she was not ashamed at all. Xie Jing should divorce Jiang Youning.
After hearing this, his face darkened.
Nan Mianmian saw through Du Huilan's thoughts at a glance. [Mentioning the Wu family girl at this time is clearly a reminder to the old lady and the general that Jiang Youning is no longer innocent. There are only two ways to go, either divorce Jiang Youning or let Jiang Youning die to prove her loyalty. And you still say you don't want to make her your wife?]
Xie Jing looked at Du Huilan and Nan Mianmian coldly. He thought Du Huilan just wanted to marry him, but he didn't expect that she had such thoughts.
After Wen Xianyu prepared the medicine, he went to boil it himself.
Xie Jing ignored Du Huilan. Seeing Chuntao coming out, he asked, "Is she awake?"
Chuntao shook her head and choked up, "Madam is not awake yet. I just wiped her body and found that she was covered with wounds. General, please go in and take a look."
Xie Jing walked in without saying a word.
Chuntao was about to walk out with hot water when Du Huilan called her, "What kind of injuries are on Madam's body? Are they serious?"
Chuntao said, "My wife fell and is unconscious. Does the second lady think it's serious?"
Du Huilan's face froze, "It looks serious."
She turned her head and looked at the old lady, "Old lady, do you want to go in and take a look?"
The old lady was also worried about Jiang Youning, so of course she woke up and went in to take a look.
"Go in and take a look." She stood up and walked in.
Inside the room, Xie Jing sat on the bed, looking down at Jiang Youning who was unconscious on the bed. Her brows were still wrinkled, and her little face had been wiped clean by Chuntao. She didn't have any injuries or signs of being beaten.
He reached out and unbuttoned the front of her clothes, and saw that her shoulders were all bruised. He lifted her body and saw that the bruise on her shoulder extended all the way to her back. Her fair back was all bruised.
The unconscious person uttered a "hmm" sound, and Xie Jing paused in his movements. He knew that he had hurt her. Her face felt painful even when she was unconscious, let alone when she was awake.
Xie Jing gently put her body down and covered her with the quilt.
The old lady came in and saw Jiang Youning still sleeping on the bed. She worriedly said, "Jing'er, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Xie Jing raised his head and looked at the old lady. Seeing Du Huilan also came, he frowned slightly, "Aning is too tired and frightened. She will wake up after she has rested enough."
"That's good. She is still a child. It would be strange if she is not scared with so many robbers." The old lady looked at Jiang Youning on the bed again, and was glad that she returned safely.
Du Huilan glanced at the comatose Jiang Youning, and there was no mark on her face. She glanced at Xie Jing and the old lady again, and they seemed to have no doubt that Jiang Youning had lost her innocence?
Nan Mianmian followed Du Huilan in, and saw that Jiang Youning was still comatose, and just stood quietly by and watched.
The old lady left after seeing her, and Du Huilan and Nan Mianmian were also very self-aware and left one after another.
Xie Jing had been looking for Jiang Youning and had not eaten dinner. Chuntao brought in dinner and then left.
It was late at night and the candles in the house were very bright.
Jiang Youning was awakened by hunger. No matter how tired or sleepy she was, her body told her that it was time to eat, so she forced herself to turn on the phone.
She slowly opened her eyes, her mind was a little dazed, and she saw Xie Jing in a daze, which was a little unreal.
Xie Jing saw that she was awake, and his heart finally fell to the ground, and he did not forget what she said before she fainted.
"You must be hungry, I'll ask Chuntao to heat up the food and bring it in."
