The heroine in this story, Miss E Wu, has now become a part of other stories. Such a change brings about a state of mind that is both sad and full of hope.
The sadness lies in saying goodbye to the carefree life that we are accustomed to, and at the same time, we are curious about the unknown road ahead. Although this is a cliché, when faced with it in person, it still makes people feel helpless.
She had such wandering thoughts and that "wonderful feeling." While silently watching the young man in front of him, he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it. When I woke up completely, it was already after the weather cleared the next day.
I saw E Feiying waking up from the carriage alone, only to find that there was no one around. The dazzling sunlight shines on the door curtain and passes through the window lattice. Even if you are in the dark, it cannot help but take away your sight. The sounds of laughter and joking coming from outside the car from time to time made her even more curious; the trickling water, mixed with the sound of wind blowing through the green forest and birds chirping, made her fascinated.
So, after relaxing her tired muscles, she picked up the two swords beside her, hung them on her back, and immediately stepped forward to open the brightly reflected satin door curtain. This move really shocked the people outside the door.
"Ah...Miss Ewu, did we wake you up?" The girl, who was twisting a few young grasses in her hands, was wearing silver jewelry that was particularly dazzling in the sun, making her gorgeous appearance and posture even more attractive. Exquisite.
The young master next to Ajuan also said in kind: "Miss E Wu, she is the one who offended me. You can't blame me!" After saying this, he stuffed the young grass in his hand into the horse's mouth.
"Hehe..." Ajuan mocked kindly: "Miss Ewu, look at the dark circles around his eyes. Are they more pleasing to the eye than before?"
E Feiying turned her eyes to the young master's face and immediately smiled. When the young master saw this, he was almost ashamed and depraved, but because of his dignity and status, he pretended to be dignified and replied: "You... feed the horse quickly, don't hinder this young master from resting!"
"Mr. Zhao, you were really exhausted after working hard last night!" E Feiying laughed, jumped off the carriage, took over Zhao Kuo's job of feeding the horses, and watched Zhao Kuo sit back in the carriage to rest. While sending the grass into the horse's mouth, E Feiying also took the opportunity to look around and observe. I saw a rustling creek on the side not far away, behind the forest shades formed by the green coniferous trees.
There were two or three figures waiting by the creek, sitting on the random piles of strange rocks, doing something unknown. E Feiying recognized one of the figures because the white bandage on his bare upper body was tied by her own hands. When her eyes reached this point, she immediately dropped the horse straw in her hand. Ajuan, who was on the same side, said something and quickly walked through the forest to that place.
Her feet were stepping on dead branches and leaves, yellow sand and mud, and beside her were all kinds of strange tree branches and thorny plants, which seemed to have suddenly and deliberately stretched out from all directions to block her path. Even though some of the exposed skin on her body was scratched and her carefully taken care of clothes and makeup were messy, it never stopped her from moving forward.
"Young Master Bai?" After walking through the woods, E Feiying walked to the river and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Miss E?" Bai Feng sat cross-legged on the boulder, facing the stream, and replied, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm concerned about you..." E Feiying patted the dust and fallen leaves that she brought from the road just now, then looked at the stream several feet wide in front of her, and said hesitantly: "I seem to have been to this place before..."
"Thank you Miss E for your concern. I'm still waiting for Yan'er and the others to make the medicine. In the morning, the injured area was bleeding again, so..." Bai Feng lightly covered her chest and looked to the side and back not far away, where she was boiling water. Two girls making medicine.
Murong Yan and Zhao Xiaomei used their only small bowls, ladles, firewood and rocks to make a small fire for heating water and set it aside.
"By the way, why did Miss E want to follow..." Bai Feng glanced into the other party's eyes inadvertently and asked.
"I...I haven't asked you where you are going!" E Feiying habitually put on a arrogant look, then gradually lowered her voice, nodded slightly, and deliberately avoided the other party's eyes. Looking at him, he whispered: "It's not because of you..."
"What did you say?" The young man seemed not to hear clearly. Immediately, Murong Yan and the little girl behind him happened to come over with medicine, interrupting the conversation between the two people.
"You two seem to be getting along well?" Murong Yan put the medicine aside and immediately went to Bai Feng's side to untie his bandage: "Sister Ying came just in time. I will borrow your Huanshou knife later. .”
E Feiying said "Okay", then rolled up her sleeves and helped the other party untie the white bandage on the young man's body. After untying it, a long stab wound from the left chest to the lower right rib was clearly visible, with blood and pus still flowing out of it, which looked very uncomfortable.
Murong Yan took E Feiying's saber and without saying a word, she slashed her left palm. Then with a ferocious face, she dripped the blood onto the medicine bowl in front of her.
"Sister Murong, what are you doing?" E Feiying was very puzzled. After wiping the blood on the sword and putting it away, she watched Murong Yan apply medicine and bandage to Bai Feng with her own hands.
Seeing E Feiying's astonished look, the little girl on the side comforted her: "Sister Ying, there are many touching stories in this!"
"Can you tell me?" As soon as E Feiying looked expectant, the young man scolded her.
"Miss E, before that, please answer the next question. Do you agree?" Bai Feng stood up with Murong Yan's support, faced her face to face, and said, "In exchange, I will do this." I will tell you my purpose. Now we and our group are going to Xiahe Town to discuss the matter of crossing the Yellow River north, and then we will go straight to Cangzhou."
Faced with Bai Feng's questioning, E Feiying froze on the spot. She lost her heroic spirit and said tremblingly: "I...I helped you escape at night. If you are still in the city, you must not let my father beat you alive." die?"
"If we follow what Miss E said, there would be no need to rescue me and Yan'er in the first place?" Bai Feng said with a smile, intuiting that the other party's lies were too childish.
Seeing E Feiying's embarrassed look, Murong Yan knew that this was a concern of the girl's family, so she wanted to stop Bai Feng from asking further, but E Feiying unexpectedly stopped her.
"Sister Murong, no need." E Feiying said: "After listening to Bai Shaoxia's words, I finally remembered that the name of this creek is 'Huansha Creek'. I came here when I was a child and passed by this creek. Creek, but more than ten miles away, is where Xiahe Town is! And the person I think of lives in Xiahe Town... He is my cousin, and his name is 'Zhang Yi'..."
"Haha..." Bai Feng continued to sneer: "Miss E, if you continue to make up lies and deceive people like this, I can leave you here and let you walk back to Jimingyi."
"You!" After hearing this, E Feiying immediately beat her chest and feet, furious, and said angrily: "Sister, I just lied to you, but now you don't believe me when I tell you the truth! If you still suspect that I want to harm you, then I will go on my own. Go. If I die on the way, our 'upright' Bai Shaoxia will feel guilty for the rest of his life!" After saying that, E Feiying straightened her clothes, held her head high, rolled her sleeves, and walked away.
