Three days have passed since Ruan Xianbei fell off the cliff. That night and several people began to search for them, but after three days, they still found nothing.

The next day, Cui Lin sent guards and servants to help. The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the search was difficult in a large area. The four of them and the guards were divided into two groups. They only managed to turn over the place where they fell, but nothing happened.

No.

Yue Ying'er sent her maid out to find out the news and started crying when she came back. She kept clamoring in the house to go out. She committed suicide and went on a hunger strike for two days, but Cui Lin came to visit and scolded her before she got better.

After Cui Lin revealed her identity, she was ceremoniously welcomed into the mansion. It was of course a great welcome for Shangyue Mansion to get to know the daughter of the chief minister.

"Everyone, please go out. I have something to say to you ladies. No one can come in until I go out." Cui Lin entered Yue Ying'er's boudoir. She was still crying. Cui Lin waved and Ming Xiang led the people in the room.

The maids all withdrew.

When she saw Cui Lin coming, Yue Ying'er turned her back, not wanting her to see her swollen eyes like walnuts: "What are you doing here? Are you here to watch my joke?"

"Is it a joke? Do you need others to see it?" Cui Lin had no expression on her face, but her words were merciless.

"If you hadn't been too timid to get off the carriage, Miss Cheng wouldn't have held you on the vault, and you wouldn't have sprained yourself without holding you on the vault. My cousin wouldn't have saved you from falling off the cliff, and neither would Mr. Shen you were talking about.

I will save her and jump off the cliff together."

"So, it's all because of you. Why are you crying here?" Cui Lin raised her voice and looked at her with a frown.

The maid outside the house didn't dare to say anything when she heard the scolding inside. This young lady looked really terrible.

"Then what can I do!" Yue Yinger, who was stabbed in a painful spot, shouted to her, "I don't want to help!"

Cui Lin raised her eyebrows and said in a long tone: "Oh? Your attitude of wanting to help is just crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself. How many people hid your escape from marriage? What would have happened to you, a weak woman, if you hadn't met Mr. Shen and the others?

Isn't it unexpected? You don't want your reputation, but what about your mother's?

You don’t think Mr. Yue doesn’t know that you like Mr. Shen, do you? Only Mrs. Yue can worry about you and clean up your mess! Mrs. Yue is really suffering from enemies from both sides, walking on thin ice in this backyard, not to mention her only daughter.

.Are you the only lady in the house? Is your mother the only lady in the house?"

"Miss Ruan fell off the cliff to save you. She didn't have to come to save you at all. Miss Cheng could have escaped in time without you. You crying and crying here, Mr. Shen, will only increase the hatred of the elders in the family towards them. I think you

I just want to kill them!"

"What you can't get will be destroyed. Look at me. Do you wish that Miss Ruan would die right away? Yue Ying'er, you don't really think so, do you?"

Cui Lin's words became more and more frightening. At the end of her speech, she took two steps forward and pinched Yue Ying'er's chin, forcing Yue Ying'er to raise her head. Yue Ying'er looked at her blankly, looking at her from Cui Lin.

The coldness in her eyes made her forget to cry...

"I'm not...I didn't, how could I think like this? I have always dreamed of saving Mr. Shen and Miss Ruan." She softened and looked at Cui Lin pitifully and helplessly with tears in her eyes.

,"Then what do you think I should do?"

The Straight Girl Green Tea Killer Cui Lin had seen so many performances by young ladies that she hated this. Seeing Yue Ying'er like this, her hand unconsciously held her chin a little harder until Yue Ying'er shouted. Painful, she suddenly let go.

"Sorry, you looked so in need of a beating just now."

Yue Ying'er felt aggrieved but was afraid that she would really be beaten by Cui Lin. She tried her best to be normal, and then the two of them started talking normally.

"The mountain is too big and my family is short of resources. I need your help this time." Cui Lin looked at her and said word by word: "First stop your current unreasonable behavior, then go and apologize to your parents, and finally say thank you." My cousin saved you at the last moment. Now her life or death is uncertain. You can't sleep at night. I won't tell you how to behave. You know how to behave. The most important thing is that from now on, you can only mention Miss Ruan's life-saving grace and bury Mr. Shen in your heart. Never take it out again, otherwise you will kill them."

"Why?" Yue Yinger

Looking at her blankly.

"Based on our family background, we shouldn't have too much contact with them. Parents or matchmakers, who gave you a good life? Who gave you status? We live under the protection of our family. We should do our duty well. For you and me, things in the world are just mirror images, unrealistic. It is a blessing to be able to walk a short journey together, and we should not expect more. .”

"But you have a mother who loves you very much. After this, you should be able to have more choices in your marriage. As for other things, don't think about it."

"I see."

The conversation inside the door gradually became quieter, and there was a beautiful woman standing outside the door, who was Yue Ying'er's mother.

When she learned that Cui Lin was coming, she came to receive her in order to express her concern. When she heard that the two of them were locked in the room and quarreling, she was startled and moved faster. When she arrived, she happened to hear the beginning and signaled the others to stop talking and stood outside the door. She waited for a long time and didn't leave until she heard this.

"Madam -" The nanny next to Madam Yue looked at Madam's uneasy look and comforted her: "Miss, I can appreciate your painstaking efforts."

Mrs. Yue wiped her tears and said, "Mommy, prepare a gift for me. I will ask Miss Cui to come to my place later. Forget it, please stay when she leaves and I will give it to her personally."

Mrs. Yue's father was the county magistrate of a small county near Yangzhou, and the Yue family was a well-known family in Yangzhou City. Mrs. Yue had been beautiful since she was a child, and lived a stable life in the small county until she was attracted by Mr. Yue. She married into a high-ranking family and her family had no ability to say no. Fortunately, the elders really loved her.

But even if Mrs. Yue dotes on her concubine in the backyard, she has several houses, and his wife doesn't want to see her. Mrs. Yue's life is not easy, and she is afraid that she will die in an unknown way one day. The situation will not start to improve until she gives birth to a child.

Mrs. Yue was not a wife at first, but the most favored concubine in the Yue Mansion. Mrs. Yue's family was well-off, she had nothing to do and she didn't like Mr. Yue. The two got divorced not long after the birth of their youngest daughter, Yue Ying'er, and Mr. Yue also No need to look at the elder's face anymore, he insisted on helping her to the position, and then she transformed from the side room into the main room.

It is not easy to be the main wife of such a huge family. The backyard is like a battlefield without gunpowder smoke. It requires expediency, balance, careful calculation, and a man's love. Although she is favored, she is not pampered. She treats other concubines well, and people Act wisely and know how to measure, and that's how you've managed to get where you are today.

But Yue Ying'er didn't understand. Yue Ying'er was protected so well, and this kind of protection was different from Cui Lin's. Mrs. Yue herself was not a noble girl. She only read some books after marrying Mr. Yue, so she had a wide horizons. Being restricted, she could teach Yue Ying'er very little. Yue Ying'er was also very smart, but it was a big mistake to imitate her attitude towards Yue Ying'er and treat a man like Shen Xuan.

Yue Ying'er couldn't tolerate her daughter having a close relationship with Jianghu people, so she was very grateful to Cui Lin. She said these things that Yue Ying'er couldn't listen to, and only people of the same age would wake her up.

After Cui Lin left, Yuejia sent personnel to reinforce the search and rescue operation that day.

...

And under the cliff.

This matter started when Ruan Xianbei fell down.

She felt something bad after hitting Yue Ying'er, and then she felt a violent impact. Her vision went dark and she lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she found that she seemed to be lying in a cave, with someone leaning next to her. I don’t know whether the wall is dead or alive.

To be precise, the person next to her is Shen Xuan.

No, it was impossible for Shen Xuan to fall from that position at that time.

She blinked her eyes and found that she seemed to be sealed, and her whole body was unconscious except for her eyes.

Help! She won’t become a vegetable, will she???

As if aware of the change in her breath, Shen Xuan opened her eyes.

"Life is so hard." Shen Xuan said in a calm tone, a little tiredness was revealed in his brows, his whole body was covered in dust and dirt, and there were traces of cuts in some places.

She blinked and wanted to ask you why you came down.

"Why did I get down here? Come to save you, Holy Lady."

Ruan Xianbei blinked again and rolled his eyes left and right, meaning what is the situation now?

Shen Xuan realized something was wrong and frowned: "Can't you speak?"

Ruan Xianbei blinked twice, yes.

Shen Xuan then told how he found her. There was mist everywhere under the cliff, and it took him a long time to get down. After he got down, he couldn't see clearly, so he could only call her name over and over while groping.

After finally finding the place where the rock fell, a deep hole was made on the ground. If Ruan Xianbei was crushed under it, he might not survive. However, he wanted to see people dead or corpses, so he searched around the huge rock. No trace of her was found. Finally, the boulder was broken into pieces and a chasm was discovered under the boulder. Traces of scratches on Ruan Xianbei's clothes were found on the edge, so it was concluded that she had fallen into a deep pit underground.

Fortunately, Ruan Xianbei was still alive despite being knocked unconscious from the fall and suffering severe internal injuries without a single good bone in her body. Her own protective mechanism protected her internal organs and brain. Shen Xuan explored it and found that her body's repair function was also very good. So fast, the internal energy in the body was inexplicably depleted and recovered slowly, but Shen Xuan transferred a little internal energy into it and it immediately started flowing continuously.

"Fortunately, there was a trap that saved you. It's really a disaster for thousands of years." Shen Xuan was still in the mood to tease her.

Ruan Xianbei closed his eyes and opened them again. Thank you Buddha for blessing. He is blessed with good fortune. Fortunately, he was not crushed into a meat pie.

So, this is not a cave at all, but underground?

There are so many channels but no outlet, this time I really fell into a trap.

So how did they get to this place? It looks like someone is living here, and how did she close it? Why does Shen Xuan look so tired?

While she was thinking about this, a hoarse old voice sounded in the air.

"Hey, your wife is awake?"

Twenty taels of silver is a little too small, but in modern times it is still 8,000 to 10,000 yuan.

At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.

Maybe he will accept it.

In addition, Qin Hu also planned to draw a big cake for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu had a lot of money before.

Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.

"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry. My hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.

"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."

In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, his body is not what he used to be. What he has now is a perseverance.

"Wait!"

Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.

With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.

But should we notify Li Xiaokun?

Qin Hu hesitated a little, what if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.

If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on him, he will be killed without mercy.

"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."

Qin Hu crawled under the carriage shaft and whispered.

But what Qin An said next made him almost jump out of fright.

"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"

What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?

Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.

Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.

"Get closer, get closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he had seen it right.

The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.

Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire, or perform a beheading operation.

"one two three……"

He and Qin An were lying on the ground motionless, until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.

"puff!"

It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.

Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.

For the reliability of intelligence, scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.

After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.

Then he took a wooden gun and strangled him around his neck. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.

Just to break the enemy's neck just now, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.

"Qin An, come here and search me for me."

Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.

"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."

"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."

Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then gave him water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes for him.

.

Before daybreak, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.

This is done to prevent others from taking credit. He knows what kind of environment he is in now.

"Thirty taels of silver per head, you are rich."

The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.

At first, he didn't believe it at all, until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.

At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
