Chapter 123 Dangers in the Mountains
Yu Qinghuan looked around for a long time and saw that there was no cave, so he could only find a corner against the mountain wall to dismount.
Almost at the moment she dismounted, the figure on the horse lost its support and fell heavily to the ground with a "bang"!
Seeing Cheng Gongjin lying motionless on the ground, Yu Qinghuan was startled. She reached out and shook Cheng Gongjin's shoulder, then called out cautiously, "Lord Cheng?"
Cheng Gongjin did not respond, but Yu Qinghuan felt a wet and hot hand, and a sticky liquid flowed down between her fingers. When she saw the dark red on her hands, she remembered that the man had been shot by an arrow. Could he be dead?
She used trembling hands to sniff the air, and the breath was weak, but she was not dead.
Yu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. She would still ask someone to tell her fortune before going out in the future. She definitely didn't want to encounter something like today again.
She used all her strength to drag the man to the cliff wall, where he could barely block the wind.
It was already dark at this time. Someone must have noticed that Cheng Gongjin and he were missing, and might be looking for him now.
But Yu Qinghuan still didn't dare to sit down and rest. According to Cheng Gongjin, this forest was no longer a hunting ground. There were no imperial guards guarding it, and no one knew what kind of wild animals were there.
Cheng Gongjin was injured again. If the smell of blood attracted wolves... they would all die here.
She walked around, picked up some dead branches, and made a fire with the tinder she brought with her. With the firelight, she felt much more at ease and her tense body was able to relax.
At this time, Yu Qinghuan noticed that her body was stained with large amounts of blood. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked suddenly at Cheng Gongjin who was leaning against the mountain wall.
In the light of the fire, she caught a glimpse of Cheng Gongjin's red robe, which had become much darker.
It can be seen that the wound on the shoulder has been bleeding. If it continues like this, Cheng Gongjin will probably bleed to death before the reinforcements arrive.
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. It was nothing. She had to save a life. She only hoped that after Cheng Gongjin woke up, he would completely forget that he had seen her coming out of Xiao Jinghe's tent last night.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and with trembling hands untied his dark red collar soaked in blood. The strong smell of blood mixed with the cool fragrance of ink hit her face.
After taking off the outer robe layer by layer, the inner robe had already been stained dark brown by the blood oozing from the wound on the shoulder, and was stuck to the skin.
If Yu Qinghuan had not been often beaten up in his previous life, he would not have dared to look directly at the wound in front of him, let alone treat it for others.
She carefully tore open the cloth, only to see Cheng Gongjin's pale face, slightly furrowed brows, and an almost inaudible groan coming from his throat.
The clothes were torn open, and Yu Qinghuan could see clearly in the light of the fire. The arrowhead was deeply embedded in the flesh, and the broken wood was sticking out glaringly, and blood was constantly oozing out.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the hem of Cheng Gongjin's clothes and started tearing them until she had torn off several strips of red cloth. She then wrapped them around his thin shoulder blades and tightened them to stop the bleeding.
Just as Yu Qinghuan leaned over to check if there was any blood seeping from the cloth on his shoulder, suddenly, the pair of tightly closed phoenix eyes suddenly opened, but the pupils were as blurred as a pool of ink, completely unlike their usual cold appearance.
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, the blood-stained hand clamped her neck like an iron clamp and pushed her down to the ground with a strong smell of blood.
Yu Qinghuan struggled, only to see his hand sinking deeply into the flesh of his wrist. His throat uttered intermittently in the severe pain, "Cheng...Lord..."
Cheng Gongjin's thin lips were pressed into a straight white line, his eyes were bloodshot, and his knuckles were blue-gray from the force he exerted, as if he had lost his mind.
He looked exactly like he did last time at the Duke's Mansion, only even worse.
A black mist began to fill Yu Qinghuan's eyes, and an intense fear swept through her heart. She could no longer see the appearance of the person in front of her. Her two feet struggled instinctively, but were pinned down by the other person's body.
Just as she felt suffocated and her consciousness began to blur, she used her last bit of strength to grab Cheng Gongjin's injured shoulder.
Cheng Gongjin's pupils trembled violently, and the severe pain caused a low roar to escape from his throat. The force that was shackled on Yu Qinghuan's neck suddenly loosened, and cold sweat mixed with blood dripped onto Yu Qinghuan's brow.
Yu Qinghuan's face flushed red because of the suffocation just now, and she gasped for breath.
She didn't know why Cheng Gongjin lost his mind, but the murderous intent was enough to make her fear and regret.
When I encountered the assassination in the woods just now, I should have run away directly. No matter who Cheng Gongjin's teacher was, he was not my teacher anyway.
After all, this person is really sick!
At this time, Cheng Gongjin's scarlet eyes had regained a trace of clarity. He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman under him, his bloody hand still tightly clasping her wrist and pressing her on the gravel ground.
Yu Qinghuan could clearly feel the other person's heart beating violently, which made her spine numb. She opened her mouth and explained, "...I was just bandaging your wound."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Cheng Gongjin's eyes became deeper and deeper. He lowered his face and moved closer to her, emitting a gloomy air, as if he wanted to see the person under him more clearly.
No one had ever been so close to him. Looking at the face in front of him that was stained with his own blood, he felt a strong but inexplicable desire.
He desperately wanted something, but he didn't even know what it was.
Seeing Cheng Gongjin getting closer and closer to her, almost touching her, Yu Qinghuan was forced to put her palms on his sweaty waist and abdomen to prevent him from getting closer to her, but the scorching temperature rushed up from her fingertips, frightening her so much that she quickly curled her fingers.
Suddenly, his bloody thumb touched the purple mark on her neck, and his hoarse voice, wrapped in warmth, rolled over her nose, "You shouldn't have saved me."
Looking at the face in front of him that was obviously very similar to Mu Huaian, but looked like a devil crawling out of hell, Yu Qinghuan trembled all over, "I won't say anything..."
While making the promise, she tried to pull away, but her body was pinned down by Cheng Gongjin and she couldn't move.
She vaguely felt that Cheng Gongjin, who was sober at this moment, was more dangerous than the man who had just lost his mind. The hand on her neck could break her neck at any time to silence her.
She didn't even dare to mention Mu Huaian at this time, for fear that he would remember what happened last night and strangle her to death for standing up for his nephew.
At the moment when sparks burst out from the fire, Yu Qinghuan suddenly raised her head and bit her bleeding lower lip hard. The unfamiliar smell and the strong desire to protect herself made her heart completely confused.
Now she only has one mouth and one set of teeth that can be used.
The moment the sweet and fishy taste exploded between his teeth, Cheng Gongjin's pupils suddenly constricted, his whole body shook violently, and after he reacted, his body tensed.
He stepped back suddenly, but because of excessive blood loss, he staggered and could only stand firmly by holding on to the mountain wall. He looked at Yu Qinghuan with an incredulous look.
What is she doing?
