After much deliberation, Bai Shuyu decided not to tell Chen Yan. There are two reasons. First, he is afraid that Chen Yi has an impulsive personality and cannot pretend to be so. Second, it was Li Fenglan who was seeking death anyway, so Bai Shuyu cannot be blamed for what happened in the end.
As for Lian Rong, Bai Shuyu wanted to leave it alone for now. Anyway, she was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed, and she couldn't act like a monster. It would be better to observe her for a while to see who she was.
…
a few days ago.
After Lian Rong left, Li Fenglan lay alone in the pit, unconscious.
The rain became lighter and heavier, and more and more rainwater flowed into the deep pit. Soon, the water covered Li Fenglan's nose. Being choked suddenly, Li Fenglan woke up from coma instantly. She coughed violently, and the cough involved injuries to her chest and lungs, which were so painful that she had to stay awake.
When Li Fenglan woke up, she immediately understood her situation. She wanted to climb out of the pit, but several ribs were broken, preventing her from moving. She lifted her upper body hard to get her nose out of the water. By chance, the earth wall on the side could not bear its own weight and collapsed. The mud and water covered her head and she looked very embarrassed, but this also helped her. She could squirm to prevent herself from drowning in the water.
But this was not a foolproof solution. The heavy rain made her breathless, and the remaining strength in her body was almost exhausted.
At this time, she saw a big bird circling around her above her head.
It's Xiao Hui.
Li Fenglan smiled bitterly in her heart: "This flat-haired beast can't even save me..."
Xiao Hui circled for a few times and then flew away. Li Fenglan became even more desperate. She had known that she would have fed the peregrine falcon more often, but now it was fine. The thing she knew best was gone.
After struggling for another long time, Li Fenglan completely lost her strength. She gave up and lay in the mud waiting for death.
…
Han Lu deceived Li Fenglan, and he didn't go far at all. He has been in Luoyang City these days. It was raining heavily that day and he happened to go to the street to buy some necessities. As we were walking back, we heard the whistle of hawks overhead.
He raised his head and looked over, it was Xiao Hui. Since I met Li Fenglan the year before last, this little guy seems to be flying around Li Fenglan often. Most of the time, everyone ignores its existence, and Li Fenglan only calls it down when he needs to deliver a message. What a bird of prey, live like a dove.
Han Lu felt a little strange. This little thing seemed to be flying around her. Could it be that there was a letter for her?
But it flew for a long time without coming down, and it seemed to be spinning faster and faster. Not long after, Xiao Hui flew towards the Bai family. Cold Dew ignored it when it came back. Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, Xiao Hui's howling sounded again.
At this time, Han Lu suddenly had a bad premonition: Did something happen to Li Fenglan? Is this little thing here to call me back?
He threw away the things in his hand and ran quickly towards Bai's house.
Xiao Hui lowered his altitude and flew in front of him. Han Lu understood its meaning and followed it closely.
This little thing didn't look at the road and flew in a straight line, so Han Lu followed it over the wall of the Bai family's forbidden area and came directly in.
Xiao Hui kept circling around the White Tower ruins, and Han Lu knew he had arrived.
He ran under Xiao Hui. Next to Bai Xueyan's grave, there was a sinkhole that was about to be filled with mud and water. In the pit, a woman in white was half buried.
Although her face was covered with mud, Han Lu recognized her immediately.
Without any time to think, he jumped into the pit and pulled Li Fenglan out.
Li Fenglan, who was in coma again, was awakened by pain again. When she woke up this time, Li Fenglan thought she was dreaming.
"Twilight...Yun..."
Han Lu hugged her tightly and asked eagerly: "What's going on? Why are you in the pit?"
Feeling the coldness in her body and the heartbreaking pain in her chest, Li Fenglan realized that she was not dead yet.
She said weakly: "First... take me away..."
Han Lu picked her up and walked towards Bai's house, but was stopped by Li Fenglan: "Don't... don't go to Bai's house... let's go out."
Luoyang..."
"You are hurt like this, where else can you go if you don't go back to the Bai family?"
"Listen... to me... don't let them see... let's, let's go out..."
Han Lu had no choice but to carry her out of Bai's house the same way.
Li Fenglan told him a location. He knew that this place was one of the many hiding places built by Li Fenglan back then. This place was not far from Luoyang, only an hour away. He couldn't figure out why he wanted to go here.
After leaving the Bai family area, he first found a village and bought clean clothes, some dry food, and medicinal herbs from the villagers. I spent a lot of money to buy a mule cart, made a simple rain shelter, and hurried to the hiding spot.
The road was muddy, and it took him nearly two hours to walk on the road that originally took one hour.
This hiding spot is in a cave. The entrance is very hidden, and there are some more hidden vents on the mountain, so it is fairly bright inside during the day.
After arriving at the hiding place, Li Fenglan was still in a coma, and to make matters worse, she started to have a fever. Han Lu boiled some hot water to wipe Li Fenglan's body, and then fried the medicine she bought. After all this work, he had a chance to take a breath.
Sitting by the bed and looking at Li Fenglan lying lifeless on the bed, Han Lu felt a little irritated inexplicably.
Until now he didn't know what happened. His medical skills were relatively sparse, and he could only detect several fractures and some typhoid fever in Li Fenglan's body. He knew nothing else.
Fortunately, Li Fenglan didn't worry him for long. She woke up before the medicine was ready.
"Are we...here?"
Han Lu hurriedly held her hand, leaned down and said, "We have arrived, how are you now?"
"It hurts..." Li Fenglan couldn't help crying, crying in pain. .
"Where does it hurt?"
"It hurts everywhere..."
"What hurts the most?"
"The chest...the ribs...the legs seem to be broken."
"The leg is not broken, it's just a fall. You did have a few broken ribs, but you can recover if you hold on tight and have a good rest. Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?"
"Headache……"
"It's raining and cold. I've made some medicine for you. You'll be fine after you take it."
"kindness……"
Han Lu touched her still damp hair and asked softly, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Hearing Han Lu ask this, Li Fenglan opened her eyes again. This time, her eyes were not as weak as before. She answered: "The Bai family, the Bai family and Xizuo..."
Han Lu was shocked: "Who? Is it that Chen Ling'er?"
"It's not her...it's Lian Rong..."
"What?" Han Lu didn't believe it. Lian Rong had always behaved very well. She was considered the eldest maid of the Bai family. She had never done anything out of the ordinary.
"It was she who pushed me into the pit... Muyun, Muyun, you go back to the Bai family now."
"What did you say?" Han Lu was a little confused, "I'm going back to Bai's house? What about you?"
"I'm here..." After saying a few words, Li Fenglan gasped heavily, "I have a plan... I don't know who Lian Rong belongs to now, and I don't know how many tricks the Bai family has... so I don't If I go back, it's best if everyone thinks I'm dead... In this way, I can do other things in secret... You go back and pretend you don't know what happened to me... Let them, they don't I doubt you...then you come back...go ahead..."
"What stupid words are you talking about??" Han Lu was a little angry, "You can't live without people like this now. What will you do if I leave? I don't think you need to hide. Since Lian Rong is a fine artist, then tell They, everyone is very worried about you!"
Li Fenglan grabbed Han Lu's hand with all her strength: "Believe me... I'll cheat to death, it's better... You go ahead... I, I can hold on..."
Han Lu couldn't resist her, so she returned to Bai's house angry and worried. When he arrived at Bai's house, he hurried out without saying a few words to the others. But in the eyes of others, he was too worried about Li Fenglan and came out to look for her.
.
Back to the hiding place again, this time Han Dew brought more things.
To his surprise, Li Fenglan was in much better spirits.
She had been given a lot of tonic by Divine Doctor Hou a few days ago, and her sternum would be able to grow back in a short time. This time she only suffered from muscle and bone injuries, and she recovered a lot of energy after resting for an afternoon.
Li Fenglan lay half-lying on the stone bed, quietly watching the cold dew light the oil lamp.
Han Lu turned his back to her and had not spoken since he came in until now.
"You..." Li Fenglan asked tentatively, "Are you angry with me?"
Han Lu finally spoke: "You are injured now, why should I be angry with you?"
"In other words, if I wasn't hurt, you would be angry with me?"
Han Lu turned around, squatted beside the bed, stared into Li Fenglan's eyes, and said patiently: "I still don't understand, why are you doing this? Didn't we agree? If there are any problems in the future, we should discuss them together. Come on."
Li Fenglan had long forgotten when the two of them had said this. She said perfunctorily: "For no other reason, I just want to take this opportunity to solve the problem."
"How to deal with it?"
"I have not decided yet."
Han Lu took a deep breath: "You let yourself take such a big risk before you even thought of a way?"
"I will think of it!" Li Fenglan shouted for no reason. I regretted it after shouting, and felt a sharp pain in my chest.
Han Lu hurriedly caressed her chest gently and said kindly: "Don't get angry, why don't I stop asking? Have a good rest and get well soon."
Li Fenglan was not angry with Hanlu, she was angry with Lianrong. This woman almost killed her. Li Fenglan thought that she was dead for a time. She even remembered that when she was a child, she competed with Feicui for candy and was beaten by Feicui. It's over.
This made her teeth itch with hatred, and now she wanted to peel off the lotus face and convulse it.
This hiding place is a bit cold. Li Fenglan has been afraid of the cold since last year. It's not even the end of July, and she can't bear it anymore.
Han Lu hugged her into her arms and whispered: "If she didn't push you into the pit, but stabbed you, now you..."
"I know..." Li Fenglan's tone also softened a lot, "Lianrong was in a hurry and couldn't prepare carefully, and she didn't know martial arts. Even if she strangled me to death, she couldn't do it. But I'm still a little scared... By the way, how did you know I was in danger?"
