Chapter 46 Temporarily Escape from Danger
Two masked men, as light as a swallow, were chasing him relentlessly, but for some reason they stopped shooting arrows.
Jiang Wan didn't bother to look back, but just thought in his heart that these people either had no arrows left, or they wanted to capture them alive.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, if you stop yourself, there will be no good ending!
Fortunately, Ruhua was no rookie; she'd been through countless battles. While she might not be very impressive in normal times, in a life-or-death situation like this, it was clear how good a horse truly was. Even an old leg injury didn't hinder her graceful movement, her hooves whirring with the wind.
A horse carried two people and ran very fast. No matter how good the pursuers were, their endurance was far inferior to that of the animals. After about half a quarter of an hour, Jiang Wan finally succeeded in shaking off the pursuers.
She continued to run aimlessly, and only stopped her horse when she was sure that there were no pursuers behind her.
"Oh~~"
Jiang Wan stopped Ruhua by a stream and slapped the two claws on his waist.
"Let go, you're almost breaking my waist!"
"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, Sister Wan."
Li Chengxiu quickly loosened his arm, embarrassed, turned his head to see that no one was catching up, and jumped off the horse. Jiang Wan also dismounted swiftly, gently patting Ruhua's neck in praise and gratitude.
"Thank you, Ruhua, you are amazing!
It's like a tractor, with all the bells and whistles of a Ferrari. I was right, you're the best horse!
There's nothing wrong with you having a stable job!
Thank you Ruhua for saving my life. From now on, I will take care of you until the end of your life!"
The horse didn't really understand what the little troublemaker said, so it neighed twice, then bit the reins and swung them over its back, then went to the stream with its hooves clattering to drink water and rest.
Jiang Wan once again confirmed that her Ruhua's intelligence was on par with a Border Collie's. Besides being easily looked down upon, there was nothing wrong with raising her.
Li Chengxiu is also jealous every day.
"Sister Wan, this horse is really smart! I..."
"Stop it!"
Jiang Wan turned to look at him and wrapped the whip in his hand back around his waist.
"I just saved your life, and now you're thinking about my horse? Are you sure you want to repay kindness with enmity so easily?"
"Haha, you misunderstood. I just wanted to thank you and praise your amazing horse."
His little thought was exposed again, and Li Chengxiu let out a few awkward laughs. Jiang Wan didn't force him to let go. After wrapping the whip properly, she raised her brows and looked at him.
"What happened just now? Why were you being chased by someone?"
"Don't mention it, I'm so unlucky today!"
When talking about this, Li Chengxiu looked gloomy.
"Sun Haoyang told me yesterday that his sister and your sister are going to come to the southern suburbs to practice horseback riding and archery today. He felt a little embarrassed as a man alone, so he asked Guo Peng and I to come along.
When we got here, we found out that my brother and his friends had also come here to hunt on horseback. We were chatting peacefully when suddenly a group of masked men rushed out and went after my brother and me.
At first, I protected my brother while running, but you know he didn't have much strength and didn't have good martial arts skills, so I was just a drag when I ran with him.
If there's no other option, let him ride back alone to get reinforcements, and I'll stay behind to cover their retreat."
The narration of the whole story was concise and clear, and the tone was not even exaggerated, at most expressing anger. It was obvious that the Li family children were already accustomed to such assassination attempts.
"Do you know the background of those masked men?"
"You said he was a masked man, how could I know his details? Anyway, you can't escape, it's what my father earned for us! Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm used to it."
This kind of thrilling trick has become something they often encounter in recent years as their father's power grows day by day.
If the real owner isn't panicking, why should the bastard be panicking? Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. Anyway, it seems that they are out of danger for the time being.
Jiang Wan turned his head and looked around. Damn, I've never been here before. What kind of corner had I wandered into?
"Do you recognize this place?"
"I don't recognize him."
Li Chengxiu also turned his head and looked around a few times.
"We were running south just now. We should have run into Yanping Mountain, right? Hiss~~"
The movement of turning was too big and pulled the wound on his arm, and Li Laosi gasped in pain.
Jiang Wan was still worried about whether the second and third brothers had run back safely, but when he heard the guy hissing on the opposite side, he could only focus on the one in front of him.
"Come with me to the creek. Ruhua has a medicine bag hanging on her body. I'll treat your injury."
This sense of urgency, of always having medicine on hand whenever she goes out, comes from a past life's professional habits. Although she is only a doctor in a mental hospital, her noble ethics of a caring heart transcend all departments.
Like I said before, when I was working, I often had to interact with patients, so no matter if they had bruises, sprains, or small medicines for injuries, I could always find them by just reaching into my pocket.
Although she had changed her career to become the daughter of an official, she couldn't lose her good habits. After all, she was the daughter of a military commander, and she might have to see blood one day. If she didn't have this worry, why would she practice martial arts so hard?
She took a small cloth bag from the large bag beside the saddle and called Li Chengxiu to the creek. She squatted down and untied the rope that tied the bag, while giving instructions without looking up.
"Sit down on that big rock and tell me where you're hurt. And take off your underwear and give it to me. I'll need it."
Li Chengxiu had already obeyed the first sentence, but the second sentence made him blush immediately. Looking at Wan Jieer squatting not far away, his heart was pounding.
"… This, no, this isn't good, is it? In broad daylight…"
The boy, who had celebrated his thirteenth birthday a few months ago, had already learned some strange things. Although he hadn't tried it himself, he had heard a lot of dirty jokes from Chang Yukang and others.
Could it be that Wanjieer no longer likes my brother and now likes me? Oh my god, this is so scary!
When you are at an age when you are lively and outgoing, your brain will be particularly active.
Li Chengxiu thought of a lot in an instant, the most important of which was how to reject Wan Jie'er tactfully and reasonably without hurting her face if she really asked him out.
He glanced at the girl stealthily. It wasn't that Li Laosi was blind and didn't know that Wan Jie'er was pretty, nor was it that he was ungrateful and thought he was better than others.
The truth is, although this girl is pretty, she is also very vicious! Li Chengxiu can meet countless beautiful girls in his life, so why would he be so desperate as to send himself into the hands of this vicious girl?
no!
In order to live a carefree and romantic life for the rest of his life, this guy simply gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Sister Wan, although there's an old saying that if someone saves your life, you have to repay them with your body, but in my eyes, you are just as dear to me as my half-sister. There's absolutely no other way! Please don't let your imagination run wild, okay? If it really doesn't work out..."
He gritted his teeth again and sold his brother out against his conscience.
"How about you consider my brother? He has a handsome face, as beautiful as a flower, and he's popular with all kinds of people, young and old. You won't be at a disadvantage if you find him!"
