Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 202 Lost Mudslide

Mudslide? !

Baili Jiuge was instantly sober from shock, and opened his mouth to call Mo Li, but at this moment, he felt that the carriage was shaken and was about to fall over, and the guards outside the car shouted even more in horror.

"ink--"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Li hooked his slender waist and flicked his wide sleeves in front of him. His strong internal force immediately tore a big hole in the car window, and Mo Li rushed out of the carriage with Baili Jiuge in his arms.

The moment the carriage was abandoned, the carriage slid out of the mountain road and fell into the abyss!
Baili Jiuge felt like his heart was going to fly out. He saw people standing unsteadily and falling to the ground. Looking up, he saw huge things rolling down in the darkness, like boulders, mud, like The general cracking and flowing of the tide.

The violent vibration seemed to turn the whole world upside down, and the booming sound and endless chaos surrounded Baili Jiuge.

Another carriage slipped into the abyss, this scene came into view, Baili Jiuge couldn't help screaming, only to find that Yin Haochen had also escaped with Wu Niannian in his arms, and landed beside them.

In the face of natural disasters, even Mo Li's voice tensed unconsciously: "When you go down this mountain, you will be on the plain. If you run, no one can look back! Even if someone around you dies, you can't stop. If you want to live, that's it!" It's the only way!"

Run, you can't look back, even if someone around you dies, you can't stop...

In the chaotic boom, such words seemed to add cruelty to the situation.But no one could object, just to survive, they all ran away desperately, regardless of the loud rumbling noise above their heads, no matter how severe the vibration under their feet, if they fell down, they would get up desperately, feeling the pain. Falling rocks brushed past his body and still wanted to escape, so he could only escape!
In the dark night, you can't see your fingers.

Natural disasters are like demons manipulating life and death in the dark.

While fleeing, all the torches fell far behind him. No one knew how long it would take to get to the bottom of the mountain. They couldn't even see the road clearly, so they could only run desperately by the light of the water on the ground.

This is a natural disaster. Baili Jiuge never thought that it would happen to him, but at the moment when he encountered it, he felt that even the collapse of the Tower of Nine Deaths was not worth mentioning in the face of this mighty natural disaster.

Small, helpless... This feeling whipped her heart like a whip.

She is so tired from running!I don't know how long it has been, even her legs are numb and unconscious, but she can't stop, and her little hand is held tightly by Mo Li's cold big hand.

His hands are so cold, the cold sweat in his palm is like a knife.She roared hysterically: "Mo Li, does your body matter! Mo Li, Mo Li..."

He didn't answer, but only held her tighter. In the turbulent night of wind and rain, his pale jade side face was stretched like a bowstring, and the frowning brows had been swallowed by the chill of the night.

Just like running, fleeing for their lives, racing against time, fighting against death, endless fear and tension... It wasn't until Yuantian climbed up to the white belly that they escaped the crumbling hell.

The night is over and the sky is bright.

Finally, finally down the mountain.

Baili Jiuge was panting heavily, but the air in her lungs couldn't get up, as if it had been broken in her throat. She was sucking and panting desperately, and the black and white in front of her eyes made her almost unable to stand still.

Her legs don't feel like her own anymore, she really wants to lie down on the ground and have a good sleep, but she can't!Because if I lie down, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up again!

"Mo Li..." murmured, Baili Jiuge was so worried, worried about his body.

She wanted to speak, but suddenly bursts of pain came from her lower abdomen, like a knife being twisted, making her face as white as wax, and sweat dripped from her forehead.

It hurts... She could only support her knee with one hand, and had to press the other hand on her lower abdomen, trying to raise her inner strength to warm her lower abdomen, only then did she feel the pain gradually subside.

Sensing her strangeness, Mo Li took her into his arms, "Jiu Ge, what's wrong?"

Looking at his bloodless face and tired eyes, Baili Jiuge murmured sadly: "I don't know, my stomach hurts suddenly, maybe it just happened to be menstruation... What about you? How is your body?" , I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"I'm fine." He tried his best to keep his tone steady, just thinking about not making her worry any more.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Li raised his eyes, and by the faint dawn, he looked around at all the living people around him. Everyone was so helpless, and the expressions on their faces after escaping from death were so horrible.

"Let's count the number of people." Mo Li sighed.

The person closest to him regained his strength, and then everyone straightened up one after another, and began to check the companions around them.

A person is missing.

Two people are gone.

three people……

four people……

Five people……

I don't know how these people died, whether they were thrown off the cliff by huge rocks, buried in mud, or fell into the torn mountain. No one even knows when they disappeared. No dead body!

Just disappeared...

That book is also a fresh life!
Baili Jiuge suppressed the grief in his heart, stood up strong, and shouted: "Natural disasters are ruthless, it is a blessing to be able to survive, no matter what, I still have to pack up and move on. It is too bad to stay here." Safety!"

Everyone sighed again and again, full of grief and desolation.

But at this moment, Yin Haochen's shout shocked Baili Jiuge's entire chest.

"Where's Nian Nian?!" He was muddy as if he had crawled out of a swamp. His face was still covered with mud, but it couldn't cover his terrified expression.

"Nian Nian is gone!"

what? !

Baili Jiuge's legs went limp, and his back hit Mo Li's chest.

Wu Niannian... disappeared?

How can it be? !
Instinctively roared: "Yin Haochen, didn't you grab her firmly?"

"My lord... I don't know." He couldn't remember. At that time, everyone was just running for their lives. He only knew that there were footsteps around him.When did Wu Niannian disappear?Why can't he remember at all...

"Yin Haochen, you..." The words of reproach came to his lips, and Baili Jiuge swallowed them again.Now is the time to blame others, after all, it is Yin Haochen who does not have Wu Niannian in his heart, so why would he always pay attention to her safety when he is in a hurry? !
I could only say: "She was born in a miserable life, I don't believe she will die in such an unknown way, Mo Li, the mudslide has stopped, I want to find Wu Niannian, she must have fallen somewhere in the mountains!"

Before she finished speaking, her waist was tightly strangled. She understood what Mo Li meant, and he refused!She is not allowed to return to that place where her life is in danger at any time!

At this time, a general of the Habayashi Army said: "My lord, let's go find the princess!"

"Yes, let's go find it, the prince doesn't need to go deep into danger!"

Yin Haochen was slightly startled.

A soldier of the Habayashi Army sincerely expressed the hearts of the people: "The prince commanded the 20 troops of the Great Merchant. He has made great achievements in battle, and the rewards and punishments are clear. He treats us well. Regardless of the purpose of the emperor sending us to escort the prince, But we must swear to the death to protect the prince and the princess back to the capital safely. Now that the princess is in trouble, we will go find it for the prince!"

They spoke generously, but Yin Haochen suddenly lost his mind, feeling guilty like a collapsed snow mountain, pressing on his chest, making him almost want to draw his sword and stab himself.

These almost strangers in front of them are willing to risk their lives to find Wu Niannian.But what about him? !Last night, he only cared about running for his life, and didn't even notice when she was gone.

Had she been thrown off a cliff by a boulder, she didn't even have time to call out to him.How desperate and painful must have been in her heart at that moment, or she had died under the boulder at that moment...

Yin Haochen slammed his fist on the trunk, and the thick tree collapsed.The branches and leaves were still shaking, much like his trembling body.

I had already decided to live a good life with Wu Niannian, but I didn't care about her life when life and death were at stake. Is there any man in this world who is as heartless and ungrateful as himself?

Gradually withdrawing his spasmodic fist, he walked towards the mountain road step by step.

"Your Majesty!" Those Habayashi soldiers caught up with him, but he seemed to have never heard of it.

Niannian, Niannian...

It was he who lost her, and he wanted to find her back with his own hands. She couldn't die in this wild mountain!

Looking at the black back that was straight and straight, as if it would break into mud if poked, Baili Jiuge pinched his heart and murmured: "Mo Li, we..."

"Go on." Looking at the vast and endless plain, he knew that after walking for two days, he would reach Shengjing, the capital of Liang Kingdom.As for Wu Niannian... "After all, she is Prince Chen's wife, and Prince Chen will find her." After speaking, he asked considerately: "Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." After warming up with internal strength for a while, it was almost done.

"Then let's go." Mo Li hugged Baili Jiuge.

Now that the carriage has been destroyed and the surviving escort has no horses, the next step is to walk for two days.

Mo Li sighed, and ordered everyone to travel together to a place far away from the mountains, find a sparse forest near the water bank to spend the night, and hunt some wild game to satisfy their hunger, which is the only way for now.

The two parties parted ways like this, and Baili Jiuge and Mo Li headed for Shengjing, the capital of the Liang Kingdom.Being held by Mo Li, Baili Jiuge held him tightly, worrying about Wu Niannian was constantly churning in his heart.

She looked back, only to see the mountains shrouded in dawn mist, bathed in the golden light of dawn, dreamy and beautiful like a fairyland.Who can imagine how many young lives were buried in such a fairyland last night.

In the end, when he got far away, he saw Yin Haochen dressed in black, throwing himself into the mist like a flying eagle, and was never seen again...

Misty.

Among the water vapor and mud in the mountains, the fog interfered with Yin Haochen's sight.

Followed by the generals of the Habayashi Army, he searched every place under the mountain road last night, his cold eyes were full of self-blame and remorse, as thick as the last spoonful of bitterness left in the medicine bowl.

Nian Nian, where are you?
Are you still alive?

Somewhere in the bottom of my heart, there was a voice asking in a low voice.

Are you still alive?

No...you must still be alive.

How could such a kind and weak fairy, yet so ignorant and indifferent to human fireworks, be buried in the mud!

"Look for it!" He growled almost in frustration: "We must find her, no matter how long it takes, we must find her!"

The loyal soldiers of the Habayashi Army agreed one after another, and they responded like thunder without any fear.

Yin Haochen smiled at them, this smile was bitter and heavy.He kept searching, not letting go of every pothole.Stepping into the muddy water, regardless of the wet boots and socks; turning over every fallen rock with his own hands, regardless of the blisters and bruised skin on his hands.

From dawn to night, and from night to dawn, he never slept, the blood in his eyes slowly formed a fine cobweb, but he still refused to admit defeat and give up like an eagle.

There is only one thought in my heart, and that is to find her!Even if she is really dead, he must find her!
Three days passed just like this, the futility of the first day and the futility of the second day had made Yin Haochen exhausted to the extreme.Until the third day, when he came to a pile of falling rocks, he suddenly heard a small whine.

who is it?

Yin Haochen was taken aback, and hurriedly poked around, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be a big pit under these stones, from which came the tiny groaning sound just now.

He quickly bowed down, trying to hear more clearly.

It's Niannian!It's her voice!
This momentary discovery made Yin Haochen ecstatic, this joy even washed away his three-day fatigue, and quickly said: "Nian Nian, is that you?"

The sound of sobbing came from the cracks in the stone: "My lord... my lord..."

"Nian Nian!" It's really her, she's still alive!

"Nian Nian, don't be afraid, we will rescue you up here." Yin Haochen comforted her, and said to the people beside him: "Move the falling rocks with me and save the princess!"

In response to Yin Haochen's order, the soldiers of the Habayashi Army worked together and quickly pushed the two falling rocks away.As the sun poured into the potholes, that thin and helpless figure was also bathed in the sun.

"Niannian!" Yin Haochen stretched out his hand towards her, but because Wu Niannian hadn't seen the light for three days, her eyes couldn't bear it all at once, so she quickly covered her eyes, sobbing: "It hurts..."

This pain hurt Yin Haochen's heart for no reason.He paused, lifted his robe heavily, lowered his body, and stepped into the pothole with one foot.

The generals and soldiers of the Habayashi Army changed countenance: "My lord!"

"Wait for me." Yin Haochen said calmly, and slowly got into the pothole.

The space here is very small, barely able to accommodate him, he subconsciously wanted to bring Wu Niannian over, but at this moment, he found that there was another person beside Wu Niannian.

He gasped, feeling a little horrified at the man's horror at the moment.That man was one of the missing Habayashi Army soldiers, he was already dead, half of his body was pressed by stones, only his upper body was exposed, his clothes were open, and his chest, arms, and neck were all bloody. , as if being eaten alive.

"My lord..." The stinging pain in both eyes got better, Wu Niannian moved his hands away, his muddy face was still stained with blood.She moved her lips, but before she could speak, blood flowed from the corners of her lips.

Yin Haochen was startled.she hurt?Where is the injury?

He wanted to check Wu Niannian's injury, but just as he raised his hand, he noticed the dark light in her eyes, which was not spotless, but lost its luster like two muddy puddles.

What happened to her? !

Yin Haochen wanted to ask, but a terrifying association suddenly appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but look at the dead man next to Wu Niannian, and a chill came to his heart, "He..."

"Niannian did it." Wu Niannian said in pain: "I was hit by a stone with him, it hurt so much, and then we landed here... His lower body was flattened by the stone, and Niannian wanted to give it to him." Cheer up, but he said he was going to die soon, let me eat his meat to live..."

Thinking of the bright eyes of that person in the darkness before he died, he earnestly persuaded her to live on, and persuaded her that the prince would definitely find him... Wu Niannian burst into tears: "He encouraged me not to give up hope, But Niannian ate his meat to satisfy his hunger... I don't know how I took the first bite, I just feel that I am a cruel person, why did he die instead of me..."

Tears mixed with mud and blood, all seeped into Yin Haochen's skirt, burning his skin like a fire.Wu Niannian was crying in his arms, her thin body was tightly wrapped by Yin Haochen.He didn't dare to let go, he was only afraid that if he relaxed a little bit, she would cry so hard that she would never be able to go out here again.

Those Habayashi soldiers who were still standing outside the pothole were all anxiously watching everything inside, ready to rescue the two of them at any time.But what they heard were cries of extreme grief, mixed with Yin Haochen's frustrated moans.

All this is his fault.He is angry, he regrets, he is ashamed, he hates, he hates himself so much.

He knew Wu Niannian's timidity, so he couldn't imagine what kind of mood she was in when she was eating human flesh.That must be more painful than lingering her, but in order to wait for him to appear, she forced herself to be miserable!
"Niannian, you...don't cry." Yin Haochen wanted to coax her, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only hug Wu Niannian tightly, waiting helplessly for her tears to dry up.

A heart has long been filled with resentment against itself.

Why is he always so useless!Time and time again, he hurt people who were kind to him, but he couldn't even say a word of comfort!
After a long time, until the end of time, the two people saw each other again.

At Wu Niannian's request, everyone moved out the body of the dead Habayashi soldier and found a clean place to bury it.With tears in her eyes, Wu Niannian erected a tombstone for him. No one knew his name. She bit her finger and wrote four bloody words "Tomb of the Benefactor" on the tombstone.

Raising his hand, he wiped away the blood from the corner of the man's mouth, and the red and swollen eyes from crying were even more messed up by the wind.Wu Niannian stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, unwilling to leave, wondering if she, who was covered in sins, was qualified to live instead of this person.

"Niannian..."

Yin Haochen's heavy call was blown away by the wind.Looking at Wu Niannian's weak back, he suddenly felt a sour wind enter his throat, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, feeling sorry for him.

He sighed, trying to persuade Wu Niannian to leave, but in front of him, Wu Niannian's physical strength was exhausted, like a broken snow lotus, falling down powerlessly.

When Yin Haochen came to his senses, Wu Niannian had already fainted to the ground, he lost his composure by this scene, he ran over to hug Wu Niannian in a moment of panic.

The soldiers of the Habayashi Army hurriedly said: "The princess has spent the past few days in a state of fear and collapse. This kind of thing is unbearable for us, let alone a woman. This place is far away from the capital of Liang Kingdom. Beijing is not far away, the prince should go to Shengjing to visit Emperor Jing Cheng first, for the sake of the prince, Emperor Jing Cheng will definitely send the best imperial doctor to treat the princess!"

Yin Haochen responded with heavy panting, and now he can only stay in Liang Country first, and return to Dashang later.

After thinking about it again, it occurred to him that three days had passed, and Jiuge and Mo Li must have arrived in Shengjing.Then if I go here, will I meet Jiuge again?

As soon as this idea came into being, Yin Haochen angrily cut it off.

Jiu Ge Jiu Ge, why is he still thinking about Jiu Ge at such a moment when human life is at stake? !Why do I always put my silly yearning for Jiuge above responsibility and morality? !I am a ruthless, heartless person at all!

Taking a hard breath, Yin Haochen roared in frustration: "Go to Shengjing...heal the princess!"
