Chapter 797 Heart-wrenching pain
The blood on Lu Chaochao's body had already solidified.
Her body was covered with scars, but she seemed to feel no pain, no hunger, and lived in her own world dully and numbly.
It was raining, and the rain soaked my clothes, mixed with blood and flowed down my feet to the ground.
Soon, the rain stopped.
There was someone holding an umbrella over her head, a child.
The child was a little short, and she stood on tiptoe and struggled to hold the umbrella above her head. He was wearing thin clothes and was shivering with cold in the rainy night. His whole body was exposed to the oil-paper umbrella and was soon soaked.
Her body was sticky, and soon someone came with a wooden basin filled with hot water and used a warm towel to wipe her cheeks little by little.
Very light and soft, like a feather caressing your face.
Her mouth was dry and chapped, so someone used chopsticks dipped in warm water to wet her lips little by little. Then he used a spoon to feed him water bit by bit without getting tired of it.
A cool breeze blew, chilling her body, and the cold water made her bones cold. Originally, she was not afraid of the cold.
Soon, she was wrapped in a quilt.
It smells like sunshine and the sweet scent of soapberries, wrapping her tightly and making her feel warm.
Someone took off her wet shoes and socks and seemed to be warming them up with his hands. There are many fine and dense wrinkles on his hands, they are a pair of old hands. She trembled as she put on her socks and then her new shoes with fine stitching.
Lu Chaochao felt it, but she didn't want to move, as if she was extremely tired.
His eyes trembled slightly, but soon recovered and returned to the dark solitude.
Later, her father arrived, and the emperor father arrived. She could hear them, but she didn't want to pay any attention to anything. It's as if all my energy has been drained away and I have no interest in anything.
Even the injuries on his body seemed no longer a big deal.
Xu Shiyun was sitting in the carriage, while Shanshan was sitting in the corner with her knees slightly hugged, with a gloomy face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Is the soup still hot? Did you put on Chaochao's scarf? And the medicine, did you get it?" Xu Shiyun was fidgeting, tightly holding Dengzhi's hand, her whole body tense.
The string in my head could break at any time.
"Madam, everything is ready. You have brought everything with you. You haven't rested for a few days. Why don't you take a rest in the carriage for a while? Then you will have enough energy to take care of Chao Chao later."
Dengzhi couldn't stop feeling heartache in his eyes. Xu Shiyun had lost weight rapidly in the past few days and looked terribly thin.
I'm holding on with one breath.
Xu Shiyun raised the corner of her mouth to smile: "Yes, I still have to save my energy to take care of the children. I can't collapse... Sleep for a while, yes, sleep for a while." She fell on the cushion, and Dengzhi covered her with a soft quilt.
The carriage creaked and swayed as it moved out of the city. Xu Shiyun tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She even dared not think about her daughter, as she found it difficult to fall asleep if she thought about her.
But he also knew that his body couldn't take it, so he forced himself to close his eyes and take a nap.
However, her anxiety was burning in her heart and she could no longer control it.
Shanshan pursed her lips and placed the Buddhist beads that her sister had polished one by one into her mother's arms. There seemed to be the scent of the morning sun mixed with the scent of sandalwood. Xu Shiyun finally felt a little calmer and fell into a deep sleep.
The heavy rain kept falling, but it couldn't stop the people from rushing out of the city. Halfway through the journey, the road was blocked.
Seeing that the lady was about to wake up, Dengzhi lowered her voice and said, "I will go and take a look."
But just as he got off the carriage, he heard a roar in front of him, as if something was rolling down from the mountains, rushing over like a ferocious beast, with huge destructive power. All the plants along the way and the houses at the foot of the mountain were destroyed.
The ground was shaking violently, and everyone was holding onto the carriage or squatting nearby in fear.
Before the crowd got close, pieces of rubble began to fall from the mountain.
The old horse refused to move forward. The driver whipped it in a round motion, but the old horse also lowered its head and dared not move forward. This is the reason for the traffic jam. Who would have thought... this would be the reason.
"The mountain collapsed?"
"We were almost buried alive in there!!" Everyone was in shock and felt limp with fear.
Xu Shiyun stroked her forehead and sat up, then took back the Buddhist beads without leaving any trace and gently twisted them in her hand.
"What happened?" Xu Shiyun asked in a low voice.
Dengzhi's brows showed some worry. When he saw his wife stand up, he concealed his expression and said, "It may be that the heavy rains in the past few days have caused the landslide. Fortunately, Lao Ma was alert and escaped the disaster. I'm afraid we have to take a detour..."
Xu Shiyun waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's change the route and get to Chaochao as soon as possible." Then she paused. "Ask the guards to help, and leave the two of them by your side."
Xu Shiyun's heart was filled with Chao Chao, but she was kind-hearted. Knowing that there were still people's houses buried at the foot of the mountain, and wondering if there was anyone at home, she immediately left her servants behind to help.
Yuzhu looked unhappy. She exchanged glances with Lu Yuanxiao and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Sure enough, as we walked along the way, we saw many collapsed mountains.
Xu Shiyun was originally looking forward to her daughter, but at this moment, she became unusually silent.
People along the way have already begun to speculate: "Is it because we did not follow the will of the gods, and the gods are angry?"
Xu Shiyun's heart suddenly shrank, she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her face turned frighteningly pale, but she suppressed her anger and dared not say anything.
The carriage didn't stop until late at night.
"This place is under the control of the imperial court. Leave quickly unless it is important." The carriage was stopped before reaching the inner area.
Many people gathered around, and Emperor Xuanping had already taken control of this place to ensure Lu Chaochao's safety.
Xu Shiyun got off the carriage, she was so thin that she seemed like a gust of wind could blow her down.
When the leading deputy general saw Madam Xu, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam Xu, why are you here? I will go and report to the general now."
Xu Shiyun shook her head. She had an imperial decree and was the mother of the princess, so no one could stop her.
"I will go myself."
The deputy general looked a little anxious. If Madam Xu saw this scene, how could she bear it?
Even they, I feel sad when I see them.
Xu Shiyun's legs were trembling as she walked towards the small figure in the center step by step.
The small figure was bound by the huge sky, and chains of cold light penetrated her. Xu Shiyun's eyes fell on the light chains and her body shook.
Dengzhi wanted to help her, but she gently pushed him away.
With red eyes and holding back tears, he walked in the muddy rain towards his daughter.
step……
Two steps...
Three steps...
Every step felt like walking on the tip of a knife, the pain was so severe that it pierced my bones, and it was so painful that I felt numb.
Her heart had already been torn into pieces.
As she walked, she was tripped by a stone in the mud and fell to the ground helplessly, but she gritted her teeth and did not shed a single tear. He struggled to get up and moved closer to his daughter.
She couldn’t let Chaochao worry, and she couldn’t let her child worry.
Xu Shiyun stood in front of her daughter, but the child's eyes were empty, without a trace of light.
Finally, she couldn't help it.
He rushed over and hugged his thin daughter: "My child!!!"
"Don't touch it, ma'am!"
