Chapter 32 Cut Him
With a splash, both of them fell into the water at the same time.
The biting cold brought with it those memories that I didn't want to dream about even in the middle of the night.
Chen Yu seemed to see that scene again.
Heavy snow, icy lake, Jiang Lianzhi, Lin Qingli, and the cries for help and cheers from the shore...
Her body seemed unable to move, trapped by memories of the past. It turned out that the fear of death had never gone away, but was just lurking in the deepest part of her body.
The shadow of drowning in her previous life enveloped her again.
She could only allow herself to sink in the cold water.
Suddenly, the sinking stopped, and someone grabbed her wrist and brought her up.
She didn't know what she was doing and was completely at the mercy of others.
Xie Tingzhou dragged Shi Yu as if he was dragging a corpse, and the two were washed downstream by the rushing river water.
I don't know how long they drifted, until they reached an area with a smaller terrain difference and a gentler current, and then he dragged people ashore.
Then he put the man on the ground and fell on the river bank himself.
Xie Tingzhou kept pulling him in the water, and also had to keep his body steady in the rapids to avoid being hit by the current and hitting the rocks.
If they didn't die on the battlefield but died in the river or were knocked into the river by someone, it would be a huge shame. It is estimated that legends about them will still be around a hundred years from now.
Xie Tingzhou tilted his head to look at the person beside him. He was lying flat on his back, soaked in water. His face was pale and his lips were purple from the cold, but she was obviously still conscious, and her eyeballs kept moving under her closed eyelids.
Xie Tingzhou rested for a while, propped himself up, and patted him on the face, "Shiyu, Shiyu."
"Ahem——" Chen Yu suddenly tilted her head and spat out a mouthful of water.
Unfortunately, she leaned towards Xie Tingzhou and vomited on him.
When Shen Yu opened her eyes, she saw Xie Tingzhou's cold face, as if he wanted to kill her.
She rolled her eyes and realized what she had just done.
It's okay, she comforted herself.
Isn’t he the Prince of Beilin?
Isn't he just someone who can command hundreds of thousands of soldiers?
Didn't he just vomit on him?
She sat up slowly and patted the place where she vomited, but found that it was not clean. She said, "It soaked in."
Xie Tingzhou: “…”
Chen Yu looked at his expression and explained: "I vomited
It's all river water, just like the water in your body, not dirty."
"Why don't you go into the water and wade in it again? It will be fine after a while," she said again.
This was the first time Xie Tingzhou was speechless.
He stood up, shook his clothes, rinsed the sleeve where Chen Yu had spit in the river water, and then rolled up the other sleeve.
There was a slanting knife wound on the forearm. The wound was about two inches long and not deep. There was no bleeding anymore, but the edge of the knife was swollen and white due to being soaked in river water, which looked very hideous.
"When did your Highness get injured?"
Chen Yu clearly remembered that he was sitting in the carriage, and was only responsible for driving. She swung her knife vigorously, and everyone around her was cleared out, protecting him tightly.
She was sure that not even a mosquito could fly over there at that time, so where did his injuries come from?
Ever since she asked this question, Xie Tingzhou's speechless expression became even more severe.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at her right hand, where she held the knife that she had not been willing to throw away even when she was rushed down.
She could hold it, but her whole body was tossed by the river like a corpse.
The knife wound was caused accidentally by her in the water. He was lucky that he was not killed by her in the water.
Chen Yu looked down at the knife in her hand and asked uncertainly, "Could it be...Is it me who cut it?"
"No, I put my arm towards your knife by myself in the water."
Xie Tingzhou frowned, tore off a piece of his clothes and slowly wrapped it around the wound.
But how to tie the knot with one hand became a problem.
Chen Yu couldn't tell that his words were sarcastic, and she felt somewhat guilty, so she slowly walked over, "I, I'll do it."
Xie Tingzhou didn't refuse. After she tied the cloth, he stood up and said, "We need to find a place to stay."
The night wind was very cold, and the wet clothes stuck to her body. Shen Yu couldn't help shivering.
There was snow all around, shining in the moonlight.
The two walked forward in the moonlight, Chen Yu followed silently behind Xie Tingzhou, and the only sound around them was the rustling of footsteps in the snow.
There was no one around and the night was so quiet.
After walking for a while, Xie Tingzhou felt dizzy and his steps became heavier. He knew what this sign was.
The poison that year did not take his life, but it still left hidden dangers in his body.
Remain
The poison could not be completely removed, so it lay dormant in his body, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and would come out to do evil the moment he relaxed.
I was sick a few days ago. I took the last dose of medicine today. I was almost getting better, but then I fell into the water again.
The high fever made him somewhat unconscious, but he knew he couldn't faint, otherwise if the criminals came after him, Shi Yu would not be able to cope with it alone, dragging a corpse.
And there is another possibility, Shi Yu simply abandoned him in order to escape. Although he knew that this possibility was very small, he didn't know where such certainty came from. He seemed to have an inexplicable trust in Shi Yu.
"Are you afraid of water?" Xie Tingzhou suddenly asked. If he didn't find something to refresh himself, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on.
He discovered when he fell into the water that this person was like his soul being sucked out of him when he touched water.
The footsteps behind him suddenly stopped. Xie Tingzhou turned around and saw Shi Yu pausing for only a moment before catching up.
Chen Yu stared at the ground, "I've fallen into water before, and it was on a cold winter day like this, so I'm a little scared when I encounter water."
Xie Tingzhou asked: "Then why don't you learn to swim?"
"Not in time." She came to the border a few days after her rebirth and had no time to learn.
To Xie Tingzhou, this answer sounded just a perfunctory one.
The battle of Yanliang Pass started in September. She said that such a cold winter must have been the last year. There were so many months to study, but she said that she didn't have enough time.
Everyone has their own secrets, and Xie Tingzhou doesn't want to pry into other people's privacy.
"There is a quiet lake in the north of the fiefdom, not far from the palace. I learned to swim there when I was young..." He suddenly stopped because he didn't know why he was telling him all this.
Maybe he was sick, so his guard was lowered.
He added, "You can study in Shengjing in the summer. Feng Yang in my mansion is good at water. You can ask him to teach you."
In summer, Chen Yu chewed these two words in her mouth.
So what he meant was that he couldn't return to his fiefdom in the summer. Could it be that the defeat at Yanliang Pass couldn't be resolved in the summer?
Chen Yu asked her doubts.
Xie Tingzhou said with all his strength: "The case of the defeat will be closed quickly, do you believe it? No matter who is behind it, they are eager to drag someone out to take the blame as soon as possible, so as to avoid digging deeper."
Chen Yu suddenly thought of Liang Jianfang and wondered if he had been silenced. If Liang Jianfang was dead, then this matter would be difficult to handle.
