Chapter 476: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (78)
"..."
Elder Wu noticed that Bai Chao looked uneasy and asked, "Young Master, do you know this Mao You?"
"I picked all of Chuchu's secret guards while watching her. How could I not know them?"
"I see."
At this moment, a servant had already come over with a rope. Elder Wu stopped talking and quickly went to arrange for the rope to be tied.
Bai Chao leaned against the tree with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Maoyou..."
Bai Chao repeated the name in a low voice, like a whisper.
The wind blew, and the leaves above my head made a rustling sound.
Bai Chao suddenly snorted, "Sure enough, he's the most dishonest."
Jing Hengzhou on the tree trunk: "..."
The heart that had just been lifted up suddenly relaxed again.
I almost thought this person had discovered something...
Jing Hengzhou's gaze fell on Bai Chao.
Although he was driven away by this man, it was impossible for him to leave.
He followed Bai Chao all the way and learned about the accident that happened to the Jiang family.
If you fall off a cliff of this height, there is almost no chance of survival.
If Jiang Yingchu really became a corpse, then this person would definitely not be able to withstand such a blow...
Jing Hengzhou couldn't take his eyes off Bai Chao for a moment.
He was afraid that this man would insist on going down like he did before.
The deep cliff in the dark is too dangerous, even with a rope...
Bai Chao suddenly stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked down at the rope stretched straight on the ground.
Jing Hengzhou: “…”
Elder Wu was having someone tie a new rope to the tree trunk when he turned around and saw Bai Chao looking at the rope.
Elder Wu quickly warned: "Young Master, please don't go down. This rope is only strong enough to support you."
Bai Chao hummed, "Is this hemp rope strong enough?"
Elder Wu glared at the young master. What kind of question was this? If it's not strong, wouldn't it be harmful to others?
"Of course it's strong! Otherwise, the owner wouldn't be allowed to use it."
"Oh."
Bai Chao half-knelt down, his eyes fixed on the rope.
"That knife can't cut it?"
"That depends on the sharpness of the knife... Wait, Young Master, why are you asking this?"
Bai Chao turned the dagger that appeared in his hand out of nowhere.
"I suddenly wanted to test whether the blade of my knife is sharp."
"..."
Jing Hengzhou's tense shoulders relaxed.
He felt inexplicably relieved again.
This person has never treated himself badly, so he will not lose his life easily.
Elder Wu also saw the dagger in Bai Chao's hand, and sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. "...Young Master, you are not going to try it with this hemp rope on the ground, are you?"
Bai Chao hummed: "Why not?"
Elder Wu: “…”
Oh no, it seems the young master really holds a grudge against the old master.
Seeing Bai Chao gesturing with the rope with a dagger, Elder Wu was shocked.
"No, no, no! Young Master, we have a new rope here! Would you like to try this?"
Bai Chao smiled and said, "Elder Wu, why are you panicking? I wouldn't kill my father."
Elder Wu: “…”
Can he not panic...
"Young Master, we can talk it over..."
Elder Wu walked over cautiously, his eyes fixed on the rope as if he was looking at his own life.
Bai Chao seemed unaware of Elder Wu's actions. He just gestured with the rope twice, as if he was about to retract the dagger.
Elder Wu was still worried and was about to walk to Bai Chao when a cold light flashed before his eyes.
"Young Master!"
Elder Wu was completely frightened and pounced forward without thinking.
But it was too late, the rope broke directly.
"Master!!!" Elder Wu cried out in sorrow as he lay on the edge of the cliff.
Bai Chao laughed out loud: "Elder Wu, your voice is too loud."
Elder Wu: “…”
Oh my god, is the young master really crazy?!
I thought the young master would be so calm when seeing the young lady falling off the cliff, but I'm afraid he has gone crazy...
"Young Master, you, you, you..."
Bai Chao stood up and removed his foot from the rope.
Elder Wu then noticed that the rope was still on the ground, and even after he moved his feet, there was no sign of it falling.
Elder Wu was stunned: "This..."
Bai Chao said leisurely, "I don't think the rope is tight. Did the owner of the manor really go down?"
Elder Wu never doubted the owner of the manor. How could the owner not go down the mountain in front of them?
"Perhaps the owner of the manor has already reached the bottom of the cliff..."
Elder Wu also started to wonder in his heart, why did the owner of the manor go down so quickly?
But at least everyone is okay.
Elder Wu waved to his servants, "Come here, tie the rope again quickly."
"Yes."
The servants brought over a new rope, and Elder Wu watched from the side.
It is said to be watching, but in fact it is guarding.
Elder Wu has never been so tired.
His old body really can't stand the shock.
Bai Chao glanced at Elder Wu and said, "Is the new rope tied? I want to go down and take a look too."
Elder Wu subconsciously protected the rope: "No, no, no... This rope is not long enough..."
It was one thing that the new rope was not long enough, but the young master's current mental state was another.
What if the young master suddenly loses his temper and cuts the rope?
Elder Wu didn't dare let Bai Chao touch the rope again.
"Young Master, please take a break first, take a break... Let's wait for the Master to come back..."
Bai Chao was relentless: "I can't wait, it's too slow."
"The owner of the manor has already gone down. He will be back soon. Don't worry."
"No, the owner will come back and punish me again. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Chuchu anymore."
Elder Wu felt that Bai Chao was talking about cutting the rope: "...No, no! As long as the owner of the manor comes up safely, I will definitely not punish the young master, don't worry."
Bai Chao stared at Elder Wu: "Really?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Okay then." Bai Chao slowly went back to lean against the tree.
“…” Elder Wu felt even more tired.
……
cave.
Jiang Yingchu sat on the ground with his knees hugged.
Jiang Yingchu felt relieved after learning from the Immortal Lord that his mother was probably fine.
She didn't dare to disturb the Immortal King anymore and could only stare at the campfire in a daze.
Jiang Yingchu is still full of doubts. Who was the person who brought her to the cave?
If he was the destined one, then why wasn't he here? Did he leave after saving her?
As time passed, the sky outside the cave gradually became less dark.
It's almost dawn.
The bonfire was gradually burning out.
The last bit of dead twigs burned with a crackling sound.
It's so lonely to be alone...
Jiang Yingchu looked at the faint light leaking in from the cave and was suddenly stunned.
She seemed to see a shadow flash by...
Jiang Yingchu was a little scared, but soon recovered. The person just now seemed to be a human figure.
"anyone there?"
Jiang Yingchu asked tentatively.
There was no sound outside.
"..."
"Is there anyone outside?"
"Hey! Is there anyone?"
Jiang Yingchu's shouting became louder and louder.
Finally, a dark shadow slowly appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Jiang Yingchu was delighted.
Sure enough, there was someone there.
But it was still dark, and Jiang Yingchu couldn't see the dark shadow clearly.
Moreover, the shadow was wearing a black robe and was very far away from her.
Jiang Yingchu tried to distinguish the figure of the black shadow: "You..."
Suddenly, a few plump wild fruits rolled over from a distance.
It was thrown by the black shadow.
The wild fruit rolled right to Jiang Yingchu's side.
Jiang Yingchu was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "Is it for me?"
The shadow didn't speak.
Jiang Yingchu picked up one, peeled it and took a bite.
Very sweet.
Because he hadn't eaten for a long time, the sweet juice of the fruit soothed Jiang Yingchu's stomach.
She felt a little sweet unconsciously in her heart.
Is he the destined one...
Jiang Yingchu was a little shy, but couldn't help asking in her heart.
"Immortal Lord, is that person the destined one..."
After a while, the tone of the immortal king in my mind was a little strange.
"As long as you think it is, then it is."
“…” Jiang Yingchu held the fruit, his heart pounding.
"Maoyou..."
This man has really been silently protecting her...
From past life to present life.
How could she let down such a heavy feeling?
Jiang Yingchu finished the fruit in his hand, his tone becoming more intimate.
"You saved me, didn't you?"
The black shadow was silent: "..."
"Where did you go after you brought me to the cave? Were you out all night?"
"..."
"Can you tell me how you saved me? Did you see my mother when you saved me?"
"..."
Jiang Yingchu was a little helpless: "Why don't you say anything? You saved my life and brought me some delicious fruit. I really want to thank you, but you don't say anything. I feel like I'm just performing a one-man show."
But the black shadow just stood there, motionless and without responding a word.
Seeing that the black shadow didn't move, Jiang Yingchu couldn't help but stand up and wanted to go over and ask the black shadow himself.
"oops……"
Jiang Yingchu forgot about her injured leg again. She sat down again before she stood up. Her whole face wrinkled with pain.
The dark shadow at the entrance of the cave finally moved, walked over step by step, and handed the thing in his hand to Jiang Yingchu.
"what is this?"
Jiang Yingchu recovered from the pain and found that the black shadow handed her two wooden sticks.
There is something like a handrail above the wooden stick, as if it was specially cut into the shape of a crutch, but it feels a bit high.
Jiang Yingchu slowly stood up and took the crutch given by the black shadow.
The two crutches were very comfortable to hold, without any splinters, and the tops of the crutches could just support her armpits, allowing her to walk very steadily.
"Thanks……"
Jiang Yingchu's heart was filled with emotion.
How could someone be so attentive?
Protect her and take care of her.
I can also make her a suitable pair of crutches in the mountains.
The black shadow turned silently and prepared to leave.
"I know it is you."
Jiang Yingchu couldn't help but expose the black shadow's disguise.
The dark shadow trembled.
Jiang Yingchu smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were going home to visit your family? Why are you back again?"
"..."
But the figure with his back to her was still unwilling to speak.
"you……"
Just as Jiang Yingchu was about to take a step forward, the figure in front of him suddenly ran away stiffly.
"puff."
Jiang Yingchu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wasn't Maoyou too shy? He actually ran away like this after being exposed by her.
Moreover, the way this man looked when he was discovered was so funny. His posture when running was very tense. Was he really that nervous?
Jiang Yingchu walked slowly towards the cave entrance with the help of a crutch, with a smile on his face.
The destined one...
A warm feeling lingered in Jiang Yingchu's heart.
At first, when she knew about the dedication of her destined man, she felt a little shy and touched. She was willing to repay him, but she never thought about responding to this feeling.
Now... Jiang Yingchu suddenly felt that he wasn't so opposed to fate anymore...
When Jiang Yingchu reached the cave entrance, it was already bright.
And the dark shadow disappeared.
"Where did you go..."
Jiang Yingchu couldn't help but wonder why Maoyou didn't want her to know that it was he who saved her?
The black robe wrapped her tightly, and even when she was close she couldn't see the face underneath it.
Even if he was discovered, it wouldn't matter, right? She wouldn't blame him for lying to her.
and also……
Jiang Yingchu looked down at his crutches.
Is Maoyou's hand injured? Why is it still bandaged?
……
