Chapter 472: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (74)
……
When Jiang Yingchu woke up again, he felt unbearable pain all over his body.
She sat up with difficulty and looked around blankly.
This is where?
There was a bonfire burning in the cave.
Jiang Yingchu looked around in the light of the fire. It seemed like a cave...
Why...is she in the cave?
Jiang Yingchu's confused memories began to slowly come together.
Suddenly, her face turned pale.
"..."
She remembered it all.
The carriage she and her mother were riding in suddenly fell off a cliff...
Jiang Yingchu's throat was dry.
When they changed the route in the back mountain, she asked the coachman to keep going to the right. Halfway through, the coachman wanted to stop, but she refused and asked him to continue driving. Then...
Then the carriage suddenly overturned...
When Jiang Yingchu thought of this, his face turned pale, his hands and feet became cold, and he felt a wave of fear in his heart.
She hadn't expected that the injury the Immortal Lord mentioned would be falling off a cliff...
Everything happened so fast that she hadn't even managed to hold onto the side of the carriage before the entire carriage flipped over the cliff like a kite with a broken string.
Jiang Yingchu's body trembled, and she couldn't help but clutch the clothes on her chest tightly.
She still feels scared.
I really don't dare to try that feeling of falling into the air a second time...
The firelight illuminated the entire cave, dispelling the chill of the night.
It was very empty here. Jiang Yingchu looked around for a long time but didn't see anyone else in the cave.
"Oh, right, mother..."
Jiang Yingchu was so anxious that he wanted to stand up and go out to look for someone.
But she failed to stand up because she found that her leg was injured.
Jiang Yingchu lifted the hem of her skirt and stared at her bandaged knee in a daze.
I had been sitting on the pile of weeds and didn't notice anything wrong with my body. The pain only started when I tried to stand up.
The wound on her leg had already been bandaged, probably by someone else.
The lit bonfire, the bandaged wounds...it was obvious that someone had done this for her. Could it be her mother?
No, her mother fell off the cliff with her, and she held her tightly at the moment of falling. How could her mother be okay?
Who was it that did all this? Could it be that, as the Immortal Lord said, it was the destined person who saved her?
Jiang Yingchu had no memory of the moment she fell off the cliff and the moment she woke up. She only remembered the fear and terror she felt at the moment she fell off the cliff. She had no memory of anyone saving her.
Jiang Yingchu struggled to stand up by holding onto the stone wall. Every time he took a step, his knees ached unbearably and he couldn't move forward.
Helpless, Jiang Yingchu had to continue sitting against the wall.
"Immortal Lord? Immortal Lord?"
Jiang Yingchu tried to call the Immortal King in his heart.
"What's the matter?" The Dark Nightmare Bug's tone was quite impatient.
"..." Jiang Yingchu swallowed her saliva. Why did she feel that the Immortal Lord was in a bad mood right now...
She was a little afraid of the Immortal Lord's cold tone.
But since it concerns her mother, she can only bite the bullet and disturb the Immortal Lord.
"My Lord, do you know how my mother is doing?"
The Nightmare Worm didn't answer directly, but instead talked about something else: "You fell from a high altitude. Besides the cut on your leg, do you have any other injuries?"
"Huh? No..."
"Then do you think you mortals can fall off the cliff and only suffer minor injuries?"
"cannot……"
Jiang Yingchu's heart finally relaxed, but he still asked, "Is my mother okay?"
"Stop asking meaningless questions."
"……Yes."
……
Elder Wu led his men to the back mountain, where many people had already gone in to look for someone.
But it was pitch dark in the deep mountains at night, and the mountain roads were narrow and covered with weeds, so it would be difficult to find the place if there were too many people.
Torches and lanterns have a limited range.
There was no other way, so Elder Wu could only order people to cut down trees and expand the scope of the mountain path to allow more people to go in and look for the lady and the young lady.
"Why did you come to the back mountain?"
A faint voice came from behind Elder Wu.
Elder Wu was stunned and turned his head.
"Young Master?"
"Yeah." Bai Chao walked forward slowly.
"Young Master, you've finally come," Elder Wu said, somewhat relieved. "I knew you weren't such a heartless person."
Bai Chao: “…”
Why is this old man implying something about him?
Bai Chao said expressionlessly, "Why did you all come to the back mountain to look for someone?"
"It's the owner's order."
"Does he know Chuchu and his wife are here?"
Elder Wu shook his head: "It's not certain yet."
At this point, Elder Wu began to worry again: "I hope that Madam and Miss will be blessed with good fortune and make sure to avoid dangerous roads."
Bai Chao picked up a torch from the fire.
"It would be too much trouble to ask them to cut down the trees one by one. It would be better to burn the mountain clean."
"Nonsense!" Elder Wu retorted excitedly, and only reacted when he realized that Bai Chao was staring at him.
"Ahem..." Elder Wu stroked his beard, "Young Master, the Madam and the Young Miss might still be in the back mountain. Burning the mountain is absolutely unacceptable."
"Oh."
Bai Chao waved the torch and said, "Everyone entering the mountain should have a torch. If someone accidentally drops a torch, it will be no different from burning the mountain."
Elder Wu: “…”
