Hearing the loud noise, Jun Haoyue's face suddenly changed and he hurried to the source of the sound.
But there is no sign of Xu Xingchen here.
Looking at the tragic landslide in front of him, Jun Haoyue was stunned for a long moment, and the whole person was motionless. Then he shouted frantically down the slope,
"Xu Xingchen!"
But no one responded to him for a long time, and his ears were filled with the sound of rain, which was gradually drowning him.
Jun Haoyue immediately made up his mind and, regardless of the possible danger of a second landslide, walked forward with difficulty along the path on the left in the direction where Xu Xingchen fell.
Jun Haoyue shouted as he walked, and he didn't know how many times he fell. His pants were no longer recognizable, and the hat on his head was nowhere to be found.
With every step he took, his heart grew colder, and endless regret followed.
If I had been tougher and held Xu Xingchen back, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
As he thought about this, Jun Haoyue felt heartbroken and continued to walk down the slope resolutely.
On the other hand, Lu Heng seemed much luckier.
He had not traveled far in the past few days. After meeting Jun Haoyue and Xu Xingchen, he always felt that something was wrong with these two people, so he temporarily stayed in a dilapidated house near their village, thinking about finding someone to inquire about them someday.
But the rainstorm was so heavy that no villagers went out. In desperation, Lu Heng had to go out and get wet in the rain, making himself dirty. He knocked on a family's door and begged for temporary shelter.
Seeing that he was in dire straits, an old lady kindly let him live in her bungalow.
After Lu Heng cleaned himself up, he took a walk in the corridor. He faintly smelled a familiar smell, so he called out to the aunt who was working.
"Auntie, is someone sick at home? Why do I smell the scent of Chinese medicine?"
"Yeah, there was an incident in the village these days. The head of the family got hurt in a fight and I was so worried!"
"Aunt, to be honest, I am a doctor and I am well-known all over the world. I just smelled the Chinese medicine and it is very weak. Do you want me to help your uncle take a look?" Lu Hengrao looked a little proud.
He had originally thought of helping with some farm work to repay the favor, but now it seems there are other things that are more suitable for him.
When the aunt heard this, she immediately led Lu Heng into the house with surprise and said, "Doctor, please help me take care of the head of the household, otherwise I can't finish all the farm work by myself."
"Okay, let me take your pulse."
After a careful diagnosis, Lu Heng wrote a new prescription and asked the aunt to get the medicine according to this prescription.
Although the previous one was useful, it took too long to show results.
The aunt hurriedly thanked him, but Lu Heng waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. He suddenly moved closer and said mysteriously, "Aunt, I want to ask you if there is a woman in the village with her brother."
Hearing this description, the aunt was stunned for a moment, then she remembered something and said, "Well, you are talking about Widow Xu."
"What, she's a widow?"
Lu Heng was a little surprised by this. "Has she ever left the village?"
"No, she got married quite early, but she was unlucky and her husband died a few years ago."
"But she hasn't decided to remarry. She just stays in the village. She's kind-hearted and people don't reject her."
"But why are you asking her?" the aunt was a little confused.
"Nothing, just asking. Thank you, auntie. I'll go and get busy first!" Lu Heng waved his hand without saying anything specific.
After the aunt left, Lu Heng's originally gentle expression suddenly became gloomy, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Meanwhile, the disheartened Jun Haoyue was still lingering in the woods below the slope. The rainstorm had stopped, and the faint moonlight allowed him to see more clearly.
Suddenly, something white was floating on the bushes in front of him. Jun Haoyue walked closer and took a look, and his face changed immediately.
It was a piece of cloth, and judging by the color, it was the same piece that Xu Xingchen wore when he went out.
Joy swept through Jun Haoyue's mind like crazy, and then he realized that he didn't know what Xu Xingchen's current situation was.
Jun Haoyue began to search around, and finally saw the figure he had been thinking about beside a small lake.
"Xu Xingchen!"
Fortunately, after Xu Xingchen fell from above, he was only scratched by branches. Apart from the pain of the wound being soaked in water, he was still lucky.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Xingchen's face lit up with joy, but the wounds on her body did not allow her to move.
"I'm here!"
Xu Xingchen turned around and saw Jun Haoyue stumbling towards him. The thin moonlight seemed to have coated him with a layer of white, like a savior. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Looking at the disheveled Xu Xingchen, Jun Haoyue felt a pang of heartache. "Let's go back quickly and find someone to heal you!"
As Xu Xingchen spoke, Jun Haoyue immediately picked her up and carried her horizontally with a hurried look on his face.
Seeing this, Xu Xingchen inexplicably felt a few different emotions in his heart, "Have you been following me?"
"Well, the rain was so heavy that I was worried, but something happened to you anyway."
As Jun Haoyue spoke, he felt more and more guilty, but Xu Xingchen still forced a smile to comfort him, which made him feel even worse.
Xu Xingchen stayed in the not-so-warm embrace, but the warmth in his heart did not diminish at all. He looked up and glanced at the surrounding scenery, frowning slightly.
"No, this is not the way back!"
Upon hearing this, Jun Haoyue also found that the environment they were in was extremely unfamiliar, and there seemed to be a few low animal sounds.
"not good!"
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed towards them, too fast to be seen clearly. Jun Haoyue was the first to react and dodged the attack.
Then, taking advantage of the gap, he quickly put Xu Xingchen aside and settled him down, then turned around to fight the black shadow alone.
Jun Haoyue picked up a branch and stabbed at the black shadow with quick, fierce and accurate movements!
That thing was not stupid. Seeing that it couldn't beat Jun Haoyue, it flexibly turned around and changed its target to the powerless Xu Xingchen.
Xu Xingchen was unable to move and could only watch the black shadow rushing towards him.
After waiting for a long time, I only heard a scream, but the expected pain did not come.
Xu Xingchen quietly opened one eye and was frightened by the scene in front of him, "Ah!"
It was an animal covered in mud, and it seemed to have gone mad. At the last moment before it pounced on Xu Xingchen, it was pierced through the body by Jun Haoyue, and its appearance was extremely tragic.
Xu Xingchen was stunned for a moment. He did not resist when the man embraced him. His mind was in a mess. He heard a low voice in his ears.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Hearing this, Xu Xingchen, who should have been cold, felt extremely hot at this moment. His heart was pounding and his brain seemed to be a little out of control. He directly said the thoughts that had been occupying his mind tonight.
"Jun Haoyue, why did you come to save me?"
Jun Haoyue was slightly stunned by the sudden question, but he was soon attracted by the wound on Xu Xingchen's body, so he didn't think much about the hidden meaning, and just answered subconsciously,
"You are my cousin, I will definitely come to rescue you."
"What if..."
