The slope became steeper as they went forward, and the snowy road was slippery, making the walk more difficult for the two of them.
Ling'er's lowering skills were far inferior to Qi Yang's, and she almost fell down after just a few steps.
When Qi Yang saw this, he didn't care about the defense between men and women. He grabbed Ling'er's left arm and led her away.
With Brother Yang's support, Ling'er felt like a small boat floating in the sea that could be overturned by wind and waves at any time, and suddenly sailed into a harbor that could shelter from the wind and rain.
Brother Yang is so nice! Ling'er was so moved that she glanced at Brother Yang, then lowered her head shyly. This time, Brother Yang took the initiative to hold his hand!
When Ling'er's eyes moved downward, she inadvertently glanced at Brother Yang's knees. She couldn't help but sigh that Brother Yang's footwork was really good. He could still walk on such a steep icy and snowy road as if he were walking on flat ground! But he clearly had a very serious old injury on his leg, so why could he still practice such advanced Qinggong movements?
Ling'er was thinking about it all the way without thinking about it, and suddenly heard Brother Yang say: "We're here."
She quickly looked up and saw that their unusually spacious carriage was overturned next to the big tree on the roadside ahead. The frightened horses had already disappeared, leaving only the severely damaged carriage and some accessories that should have been placed in the carriage scattered outside.
Qi Yang pulled Linger forward quickly.
They hadn't taken more than two steps when the slope began to slow down and become less steep than before. The gentle terrain allowed them to finally see that the road under their feet did not continue to extend forward. Not far ahead is a cliff! But only then did I realize that it was obviously too late for the speeding carriage.
Qi Yang lowered his head to check the marks on the ground as he walked.
Ling'er followed his line of sight and discovered the suddenly messy ruts and horse hoof prints. It is not difficult to imagine the panic of those horses when they found that there was no way ahead. Further forward, the ruts turned sharply towards the roadside, and finally stopped in front of a big tree beside the road.
Ling'er guessed: "Senior Brother Liu must have crashed the carriage into the big tree to save the carriage and prevent it from falling into the cliff. Unfortunately, the speed was too fast at the time, and the carriage was still seriously damaged." After saying that, she looked sadly at the person who had been hit. The deformed carriage and the remains of tables and chairs scattered around the carriage.
"They are not only trying to save the carriage, but also leaving us clues without leaving a trace." Qi Yang added.
"You mean they left the mark on the carriage?" Ling'er had never thought about this.
"Otherwise?" Qi Yang asked with a smile.
Ling'er looked around. In this wilderness, except for the big trees on the roadside, there really wasn't much that could be marked.
Finding that Ling'er's eyes finally fell on the tree pole, Qi Yang explained to her: "The girl can easily think of the possibility of leaving a mark on this tree pole. How could those officers and soldiers with rich hunting experience not think of it?"
"That's right." Ling'er understood. If the mark left behind will be discovered by the pursuers, it is better not to leave it at all.
"However, forcing the carriage to stop at the edge of the cliff is just a bad idea. Liu Shaoxia should have done it as a last resort." Qi Yang added.
"Are you saying that if you leave the carriage on the edge of the cliff, the officers and soldiers will suspect that the people in the carriage are not in danger, but are hiding in the mountains?" Ling'er frowned.
"No, Liu Shaoxia has already considered the situation the girl mentioned." Qi Yang pointed to the damaged carriage.
