The shore was ablaze, and countless people were shouting.
"Motherf * cker!" The bald man tightly held onto Zhu Yan: "Boss!" "This woman will definitely die if she goes into the water. Even if you jump in now, it will still be a problem whether you chase after her or not!"
Only then did Zhu Yan calm down. He placed the long saber on the boatman's neck and said, "Return to the shore."
Looking at the surface of the river, there was already no sign of anyone.
In the brothel, other than the horse stables at the back that had gone through the water, the rest of the place was unscathed. The mirage's horses took advantage of the chaos to run away with two horses.
The brothel owner was so angry that her teeth were itching for action. She immediately instructed the waiter beside her, "Hurry up and get that hoof back! I thought that she would give me the prescription before she left, but I ended up building a new stable! "
"Mom, when that girl left, she stuffed a bamboo tube into my hands." A shop assistant at the side wiped the dust off his face and quickly handed the tube over.
The old procuress only took a glance and saw four prescriptions and more than a dozen yoga methods written on it. Finally, she left behind a sentence, "Cursing and scolding won't save anyone. It's like teaching and selling them at a high price."
"This girl is a kind-hearted person." The old procuress was silent for a moment, as if she was reminiscing about the past. In the end, she just put the tube away with a smile, "Forget it, I won't chase them down. If anyone asks, tell them that I can't even manage my own business.
Zhu Yan hurried back while the Scarlet Scorpion was sitting dejectedly on a pile of straw by the side, sobbing uncontrollably.
"You still have the nerve to cry!" Zhu Yan walked up and gave her a resounding slap: "You won't let me kill her, and the result is! She had almost ignited half of Blackwater Town, and now she had jumped into the river! Where do you think you should start from! "
Now that they had no horses, although Blackwater Town was a secretive place, but at the same time, as long as they stayed here, it would be difficult for them to contact other people. Even if Gu Liuyan was still alive, they would not have time to search.
"I... I was afraid that Su Yu Wan would bewitch you again! "
As their four eyes met, the two siblings were actually speechless for a moment. Zhu Yan lightly sighed and also sat down next to the Scarlet Scorpion, "In the future, I will no longer have any feelings for her."
"I won't hide it from you anymore."
The river water was bone-chilling cold, but it was nothing compared to the moment he had climbed up to the shore.
However, she still opened her arms and laughed a few times, only to see a jungle in front of her covering the sun, a mountain in the distance with no end in sight, perhaps she would die here in less than three days, yet she still continued to laugh out loud a few times as she raised her head to look at the sky.
This was the first time she saw freedom in this world!
He was not saved by any fortuitous encounter, but he was seriously injured and had no path in front of him.
"However, I am able to survive." She coughed and laughed as she dragged her tired body into the forest. Thankfully there was water from the herbs and only the wounds that had been soaked were hastily treated. She stumbled into the forest, hoping to find a place to rest before nightfall.
It was a pity that the heavens didn't wish for her to. After nightfall, she drilled into a hole in the forest. There was no way she could use the fire piston. She then used the grass to cover the entrance to the cave and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, his head was pounding and his limbs were sore. However, he could only carry it on his shoulder and continue his search.
Hungry and powerless, she searched carefully until the sun was in the middle of the sky. She then saw traces of people walking past them. She followed the traces and found a small path. She could only walk to the other side.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she heard a woman cry out in surprise from behind her, "Husband, do you think that person in front of us is a girl?"
"It's such a long journey, why is there a girl walking alone?" The man's voice also came.
Gu Danyan only turned his head and saw a small, shabby carriage behind him. One couple was driving, the other was lifting the curtain to look, and below them was a girl with two braids.
She only stopped to wait for the little carriage to arrive at her side. When the driver saw her despondent appearance, he looked at his wife behind him and only gave her a serving of food in the end, "My children are sinister, so I can't take you with me. We have to walk for another half a day before we reach a town."
Gu Danyan only glanced at the dry rations in his hand and nodded to the little girl with a smile: "Thank you."
After saying that, she only ate two mouthfuls of the biscuit and continued to walk forward.
The woman pulled at him strangely. "From what I can see, this lady doesn't seem like a person from the countryside. There is still more than a dozen miles to go. I'm afraid that her sickly appearance won't last long."
"My wife, this place is deserted. Why are you still pregnant? If she has ulterior motives …"
"Daddy, why is elder sister in the woods again?" The little girl tugged on the man's shirt, and the couple then looked over. They only saw that Gu Ziyan bent down to pick all the herbs, leaving only the leaves to be wiped with a clean spot on his clothes. Then he crumpled the herbs, put them on his wrist and continued walking.
"Why don't you bring her along?" In the end, the woman still could not bear to see this. Just now, her wrists had been badly mutilated, without any semblance of a scheming person.
In the end, Gu Danyan still got on the carriage. This made her feel slightly relieved, but she didn't dare to neglect and wrung out the rest of the herbs. She even applied the medicine on her ankle.
The little girl behind him stuck her head out for a look, but she quickly hid her wrists and ankles. Laughing lightly, she said, "Madam, this wound is really scary. It's not good for a child to see."
"No worries, since his father has been practicing medicine to save people since he was young, he has seen all kinds of wounds." The woman waved her hand and only said that it was wonderful to call her, but her husband was called Xu Youwei, and she was already pregnant in April. Only then did she think that she would no longer go out wandering to practice medicine, only returning to her hometown to peacefully nurture her baby.
Gu Danyan just smiled while Xu Youwei took out some medicine for her to drink. The plump girl didn't care about the dirt on her body and only stared at the red tethered cat on her waist.
"Oh right, where are you from? Do you need me to send a message to your house later?"
"I have come from the Heavenly Flame. If I were to send a letter, how long would it take for me to arrive?" Gu Daiyan thought about it carefully. She seemed to have been floating on the river for a long time, and it was already afternoon by the time she landed.
The couple looked at each other and stared blankly at her. "If you send a letter to the Sky Flame, you'll only be here for two to three months."
It was already this far?
She was shocked. She didn't want to sit still and wait for death. She continued, "I know some medical skills and can help the doctor in your hometown. Can you allow me to stay for a few days and earn some money?"
"It's fine. It's just sending a letter later. Where are you going to send the letter?" Feng Miao chuckled a few times.
"Sky Flame, Prince Jing's mansion." As soon as he said that, the couple in front of him opened their eyes wide. Only the little girl chuckled, "Sister, lying is not right."
