She fell out after crying at the wrong grave

Amid the silence all around, the people of Beitang were extremely alert, with a few of them still patrolling back and forth on the half of the mountain road at the bottom of the slope with lights on.

I was afraid that the two people who had just fallen had rolled onto the road and were not yet dead.

The snow was getting heavier. The moonlight had long since disappeared, and in the thick night, the only sounds we could hear were each other's breathing and the rustling of snow falling on the dead branches and leaves.

Under the snow, there were two people lying down.

Ah's eyes were the only ones visible through the gap, and she was staring at the movement ahead with the limited range of night vision.

My body was covered in snow and I was almost frozen, but I couldn't move. If I moved, I would make noise, and I would have to fight again.

She really doesn't know how to fight, she wailed in her heart. After learning from her mistakes, she decided to find someone to teach her some self-defense skills when she returns, so that she won't be stuck in this situation next time.

The wound on my left shoulder was a little numb from the pain, luckily I had just wrapped it with a piece of rag before lying down.

I have to thank Zhao Zhuo.

Zhang Shiliu never had time to use the two bottles of trauma medicine that he stuffed into his pocket before leaving. Instead, during the fight, Ah-yi accidentally stole them.

Fortunately the bleeding has stopped, otherwise I would have died here tonight.

"Hiss, it's getting colder, let's go." The man in front lit a torch and took a final look into the woods.

The sea is calm and the view is unobstructed.

It's impossible to hide people in such a cold day, the only way is to go to heaven or hell.

"Let's go, let's go back."

The rest followed.

Ah'ao breathed a sigh of relief and then realized that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

"Hengzhi, Hengzhi!" She remained cautious and didn't say anything, but called out in a voice that was barely audible at such a close distance, "Can we go now?"

There was no movement on the right.

Ah'ao moved her right index finger with great effort and poked him slightly.

Not moved yet.

Poke again.

"Wait a moment." He replied in a breathy voice, which was much weaker than usual and suddenly made people feel a little uncomfortable.

A'ao pursed her lips and wondered why he didn't say anything after hearing it. Didn't everyone leave?

"Although we were outnumbered and had to let Zhang Shiliu go, we didn't return home completely disappointed." Ah'an pulled out a piece of black cloth from her sleeve. "When I was stealing Zhang Shiliu's medicine, I accidentally grabbed his clothes and tore off a piece."

Hengzhi turned his eyes and looked tired, "What?"

Ah'ao was almost losing consciousness all over her body. She thought that even though they were alone, it would be a way to liven up the atmosphere in order to avoid them freezing into two salted fish.

"I'm not sharing for nothing." If you were listening to her, you should be able to hear that she was joking, right?

Hengzhi's eyes went dark, the world was spinning, and he felt weak all over. He didn't know if it was because of excessive blood loss or snow blindness. He really couldn't say anything at this moment.

But he still remembered taking out a palm-sized flat box from his arms and handing it over with great effort, "Then let's exchange."

The flat box is actually a copper hot water bottle, but it is made very small. It was originally used in military camps. People put hot liquor in it and carried it with them to keep warm and drink warm liquor.

Hengzhi has been using this thing since he first saw it. Later, he asked a blacksmith to make a simple modification to it, which prolonged the heat retention time, and then he promoted it widely in the patrol camp.

Ah'ao had never been in the army before. When the hand was put into her hand, the warm touch instantly soothed her whole body.

Seeing her eyes suddenly widen with some surprise, Hengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just estimated that he had failed and was at a disadvantage in the fight, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. He took the risk and hid in the snow with Ah'ao.

He had a good physique and had tried to endure the cold in the snow before, so he could naturally last longer. But Ah-yi was already skinny and had just been injured, so he was afraid that she would faint.

In this place, fainting means death.

How could a good princess suffer such hardship?

Fortunately, the group couldn't stand the cold anymore and retreated from the mountain.

Hengqi put his ears to the ground and could not hear any vibrations, so the people must have gone far away. There were two horses left on the road, and judging by the temperament of these people, they would definitely take them away.

"Don't move." Hengzhi slowly bent his body, retracted his long legs, and stood up by supporting himself on the ground.

Seeing him staggering, Ah'ao was frightened.

No, I'm counting on him to take me back later.

Hengzhi quickly grabbed the tree trunk next to him and steadied himself.

I still couldn't see things clearly, I could only see bright and dark blocks of color, like which part was blood and which part was forest.

But I can't care about so much now. If I don't leave quickly and find a place to make a fire and drink some hot soup, I will really freeze to death. Dangshan belongs to Wuling, which is a mountainous area. The climate is much colder than Kezhou City.

He turned around, bent down, and held out his hand to Ah-yi, "Get up slowly."

It was time to change positions, which was not an easy task for Ah-yi now. Her fingers were fine, thanks to Heng-chi handing her a hot water bottle, so they could still move.

But my knees can no longer bend.

Ah-yi reached out and patted Heng-chi's palm, but didn't grab it. Like a cat stretching, Ah-yi struggled to twist her still-usable upper body, turning herself from prone to supine.

She took a long, heavy breath.

Hengzhi's pale face was reflected in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" His face was as cold as jade, and he didn't look like a living person. So, regardless of her numb and itchy limbs, Ah-yi climbed out of the snow with her hands and feet. She was normal except for the cold, but Heng-yi's eyes were dead and his body was unstable just now, so he must have been more seriously injured.

Ah'an looked it over carefully, up and down, back and forth.

really.

Hengzhi leaned one hand against the tree and let Ah-yi put the hot water bottle back into his hand. "Hurry up and drink this hot wine first!"

She touched her back, and although she could not tell the depth of color, the strong fishy smell and the length of the tear in her clothes made her realize how long the wound was.

Although the rest of the body was less injured than this one, the chest was the only good spot on the body.

A'ao couldn't bear it, so she stopped her hand in mid-air and didn't dare to touch it. She lowered her head and remained silent for a while.

When she fell into the forest just now, she was so scared. The desire to survive made her forget about the barriers between men and women and the interests of the alliance, and she only cared about getting into Hengzhi's arms.

Perhaps he noticed her shrinking movement, so Hengqi wrapped her tightly while he was rolling down in the weightlessness, and wrapped A'an's head tightly with his arms.

This is probably why the two people’s injuries are so different.

Ah-yi walked back to him and said, "Let's go quickly."

As he said this, he wanted to help him, but before he could put his hand on his shoulder, Hengzhi's brows suddenly tightened, and he fell down weakly.

Ah'ao was quick to move forward and quickly grabbed him.

This was probably the most embarrassing day for the young marquis. Before losing consciousness, Hengzhi realized that he was completely nestled in A'an's arms. The scene just now was now reversed.

Her body was warm and her heart was beating vigorously.

Still remembering the injury on his left shoulder, Hengzhi always leaned on her to the right. Ah'ao sighed deeply.

If you do this, it will be really hard to settle the accounts one by one.
-
In the hall of Dangshantang, Yunli was getting anxious.

"Hey, why hasn't Yun Cheng come back yet?" Yun Li clenched his fist and pounded it on his right palm, pacing back and forth in front of the door. "What if something really happens..."

Mrs. Zhou was sitting in the back, also with a serious expression, "Don't worry, your wife said she was going to do something, maybe it's something we can't know, don't think of the worst yet."

When she left, she only said it was an urgent matter, and Lian Yuncheng was left waiting at Dangshantang. Seeing that Ah's expression was serious and she was packing in a hurry, Zhou's wife could not ask more questions.

What if it is something related to the young marquis? Then they cannot interfere.

It's strange, it's been several days and there's still no news.

Yun Cheng went out to gather information today and happened to meet a group of Yuanzhou soldiers who came to search for the spy. He then learned that the marquis and his wife had not returned since the night they were summoned to chase the escaped spy.

Hearing this, Yun Cheng also became anxious. The heavy snow made it difficult to walk, so two teams took turns to look for people. Today, they lost their way and had to find their way here.

But there is at least half a mountain between the hot spring and the villa.

Yun Cheng hurried down the mountain and went to the Dang County city that the Yuanzhou captain had mentioned.

None of the six soldiers sent by the city guards came back. He was worried and hadn't slept well for several nights. Yun Cheng came with a token in hand, looking aggressive. After asking, he found out that his two masters had returned long ago and had lost contact.

This was difficult. Dangshan was so huge that even if they turned the entire mountain over, it would take several days. If they were attacked and injured, or if the snow blocked their way, they would be in great danger.

Yun Cheng hurried to the Dang County court, called out all the guards, took some food, clothing, and charcoal, and really went over the mountain.

The two people, whose life or death was unknown in the eyes of everyone, were now lying and sitting, silently watching the heavy snow outside the window that had been going on for two days and two nights.

At that time, Ah'ao was dragging Hengzhi, struggling through the forest, and from time to time she would use her hand to check Hengzhi's breath, fearing that he could not bear it.

I've cried at your father's grave, so you don't want me to cry for you again, right?
Fortunately, not long after she started walking, Ah-yi spotted a dim light on the path. Her eyes lit up, she supported Heng-chi against a tree trunk, and trotted up to look for him.

"Is anyone there?" she called out hastily, knocking on the wooden door.

Those who live here are hunters from the mountains.

A group of bandit-like people had just walked out of the mountain, and the hunter became suspicious and was afraid to open the door.

But it’s so hard to meet someone. If I give up, where can I find the next person?
Ah-yi braved the cold wind and begged for a long time outside the door, "Please be kind, my husband and I were robbed by villains on the way, and my husband was seriously injured. Please save my life!"

After hitting her wound hard, Ah'ao gasped in pain and soon her voice was filled with tears.

When the hunter finally couldn't bear to open the door, he saw the young lady crying with snot and snot, her heart broken.

A'an: Nonsense, it hurts so much.

"Hey, come in, come in."

So they stayed in the hunter's house for the time being. Unfortunately, this was just a temporary hut, and there wasn't much food or medicine.

The hunters knew how to bandage wounds, but they lacked gauze and medicine. Ah-yi saw that Zhang Shiliu's medicine was in a different bottle from ordinary medicines, and was afraid that the hunter would get suspicious, so she didn't dare to use it in front of him.

Finally, after much persuasion, A'ao took off the jade buckle on her hair crown and gave it to the hunter, and finally he was persuaded to bring some back from his home at the foot of the mountain at dawn.

That was the most difficult night. Hengzhi's wound became inflamed and his whole body was burning. He soaked a handkerchief with strong liquor and wiped every part of his body, and finally there were no signs of worse symptoms.

The candlelight accompanied A'ao and never went out all night.

At daybreak, Hengzhi finally woke up.

His voice was hoarse from the fever. Ah-yi saw his lips move slightly, so she leaned over and listened carefully. He said, "Where is it?"

Finally she heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Hengzhi's flushed cheeks, Ah'ao said with a smile, "This is the underworld. We both died once."

Hengzhi was still feverish, and he forced a smile with great effort, then closed his eyes again.

A feeling of relief at having survived a disaster filled my heart.
