Gu Qingcheng walked down the river. As soon as her figure disappeared, a hound found its way to the slope.
The hound was spinning in circles, barking.
Apparently it couldn't smell any more.
"Princess! Black Panther is over there!"
"Chase!"
The speaker was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a fiery red riding suit, holding a whip in her hand, and her eyes were filled with determination that she was determined to win.
I didn't find that person at the bottom of the valley just now.
Chu Zhao was somewhat surprised. There is even a faint fear.
Could it be that the plot has been changed?
She just had to do it all over again and made some moves in advance to make that bitch crash the carriage instead of being assassinated at the inn.
They were all seriously injured, but the outcome was different because of her intervention.
Originally, Chu Zhao was worried that the dog man would definitely die if he fell from such a high cliff.
At that time, Chu Zhao was still thinking, "Let's take it as a gamble! If you survive, let's continue!"
"If you are short-lived and die at the bottom of the valley, then our grudges will be wiped out!"
But the problem is that when Chu Zhao led the men, hounds, etc. to the bottom of the valley, he only saw fragments of the carriage on the ground and the smashed horse, but no people.
The guards did find some blood-stained pieces of clothing, which looked like they had been dragged away by wild beasts.
But Chu Zhao didn't believe that the dog man would die so easily!
She stood at the bottom of the valley, raised her head, and looked up.
I found that the cliff was really, really high.
After falling from such a high place, the carriage was shattered, but the man did not die, which proved that he was destined to die.
Of course, it is also possible that he fell to death and the beast dragged his body away.
But Chu Zhao didn’t give up.
"You want to see people when you are alive! You want to see corpses when you die!"
"Even if the beast drags you away, you must find the beast."
Even if he dug open the beast's belly and saw that it turned into a pile of debris, Chu Zhao still wanted to determine the dog man's life or death!
The hound sniffed the carriage, then carefully smelled the fragments of clothing, and then ran out with a swish.
"Chase!"
Chu Zhao seemed to see hope, shouted, and led the guards to chase after him.
Running and checking all the way, the group followed the hound to the river.
Then, there is no more.
The smell is gone!
The hounds were at their wits' end.
However, Chu Zhao still found some clues by the river.
She saw clear footprints on the soft mud by the river!
"This dog man is indeed alive!"
"Could it be that you are following the saying, 'The harm will last for thousands of years?'"
Chu Zhao didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.
She looked at those footprints in a daze.
"Princess, he may have gone up or down the river!"
The guards are also experienced people.
Seeing the footprints by the river, he knew that the person the princess was chasing was still alive.
However, there are only so many footprints.
Didn't leave many clues.
The guards made an inference based on their own experience: the man must have gone along the river.
I just don’t know if he is going up or down!
Logically, it should be downwards.
….
This river is left from the mountains, and the downstream is flat land, where there are villages.
Going up means continuing up the mountain and away from the crowds.
Considering that person's identity, he was of noble birth, pampered, and didn't understand some common sense in the wild, it seemed reasonable.
Therefore, it is possible for the person to go up or down.
"No need to bother!"
Chu Zhao came back to his senses, grasped the riding whip,
After looking around, he suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go to the inn!"
The monk can run away, but he can't run away from the temple!
The dog man did not come to Fengchao alone.
He also had followers, as well as envoys and officials sent by the Qing Dynasty.
And those people all lived in the inn.
If the dog man is out of danger, he will definitely return to the inn.
He was just a spoiled little prince now, not the ferocious wolf he would be a few years later.
Even if he encounters an "accident", he still instinctively trusts and relies on his own people.
In his previous life, he would "turn dark" and suffered the death and betrayal of his loved ones.
Now, he is still innocent and kind!
Chu Zhao thought firmly.
"yes!"
The guards agreed, pulled the hounds and horses, and followed Chu Zhao respectfully.
…
Gu Qingcheng deliberately stayed three or four meters away from the river because he didn't want to leave any footprints.
After walking hard for a while, she didn't hear any more sounds behind her, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly.
However, she still didn't completely relax.
It's not out of danger yet, it's not the time for her to feel relieved.
Finally, just when Gu Qingcheng could no longer hold on and almost fainted, a wooden house appeared in her field of vision.
There seemed to be figures moving around in the small courtyard of the wooden house.
Gu Qingcheng bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the severe pain gave her temporary clarity.
After taking a breath, Gu Qingcheng walked towards the hut with difficulty.
However, she was too tired, and her broken leg was in terrible pain after going through several twists and turns.
And Gu Qingcheng exchanged physical strength for appearance, and now the physical strength of this body is only a pitiful 63 points.
Just the level of ordinary people.
Slightly better than a weak chicken.
But she was injured and had to struggle for a long time. To be able to persist until now was because Gu Qingcheng's will was strong enough.
At this moment, this body reached its limit.
Plop!
Gu Qingcheng finally fell to the ground.
Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth to prevent himself from fainting completely.
Half-conscious, Gu Qingcheng saw a figure rushing out of the yard and heading towards him.
The moment he closed his eyes, Gu Qingcheng vaguely saw a delicate face.
"Master? What's wrong with you, Master?"
"...Oh, why are you so seriously injured?"
Gu Qingcheng was drowsy and seemed to hear the woman's voice.
She was so perceptive that she was already in this situation, and she could vaguely feel the obvious pause when the woman spoke.
She should have seen the face of this body clearly.
A mountain man far away from the village would definitely be surprised, confused, and lost his mind when he suddenly saw such a handsome young man.
Gu Qingcheng understood, but her character value had dropped to 40 points, and she began to have a "villain's heart".
…
When Wu Yanniang was eighteen years old, this was the first time she saw such a good-looking man.
….
He is so good-looking, with such white skin and beautiful eyebrows.
It feels more beautiful than the Bodhisattva in the temple.
Wu Yanniang has never read a book and cannot think of the adjective "a gentleman like no other in the world".
She just felt good-looking, her heartbeat was racing, and her slightly tanned face was red and hot.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Yanniang returned to her senses and dragged Gu Qingcheng back to the yard and moved her to her bed.
Her father was a hunter and would inevitably get injured, so trauma medicine was always kept at home.
Wu Yanniang boiled hot water again and found clean linen cloth.
She carefully uncovered the cloth, removed the wooden board holding the broken leg, and cut off the leg of her trousers, revealing the bloody wound.
"Such a serious injury!"
It’s true that Wu Yanniang has seen too much
The prey, who had also treated his father's wounds, was also shocked by the ferocious broken leg at this moment.
She couldn't help feeling a little distressed: Alas, after suffering such serious injuries, it's hard to believe that this young master could still walk all the way.
She sighed and kept her hands on her hands.
Clean the wound and check for broken bones and debris.
After touching it gently, I found that the broken leg bone seemed to be connected.
"It saves you having to find a doctor."
Wu Yanniang grunted and started to help Gu Qingcheng apply the medicine.
The white medicinal powder was sprinkled on the wound. Maybe there was antiseptic medicine in it, which irritated the wound.
Gu Qingcheng was unconscious, but still twitching instinctively.
"Don't worry! My wound medicine was left behind by my father. It's very useful! It's great for stopping bleeding, anti-inflammation, and analgesia!"
Wu Yanniang seemed to have forgotten that Gu Qingcheng was still unconscious and hurriedly explained.
After explaining, I realized that the handsome young man still had his eyes closed tightly.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips in a funny way, looking at me, she didn't look like herself anymore.
The medicine was applied, the planks were refastened, and the upper legs were wrapped in fine linen.
Gu Qingcheng was still unconscious.
Wu Yanniang thought for a while, her eyes roamed around Gu Qingcheng's body, and then she found a small piece of white jade exposed at the skirt of her clothes.
She endured her shyness, reached out and took the piece of jade, pulled it, and revealed the whole thing.
It turned out to be a piece of jade hanging around his neck. It should have been worn around his waist, but he carefully hid it in his clothes.
It proves that this thing is very important to him.
Wu Yanniang didn't know if she was obsessed with it, but she actually took off the jade and hid it in her arms...
