Chapter 135 [Near-Death and Survival] (II)
Hu Xiaotian fell straight down, not long after, he plunged into the icy water, his luck was good, there was indeed a big river below, floating from the bottom of the water, wiping the water stains on his face, and suddenly found that there was another person above his head who fell down rapidly, and at the same time let out a sharp scream, Hu Xiaotian had already judged from the voice that the person who fell was Princess Anping. Identified the place where Princess Anping fell into the water, quickly swam over, the water was turbulent, and finally swam to the place, dived below the water, and groped for a while before finding Princess Anping underwater, Hu Xiaotian held her delicate body and took her to the surface.
Princess Anping's face was pale, she was choked by the river and kept coughing, she was in an instinctive reaction, she hugged Hu Xiaotian's neck tightly, and all the surrounding mountain torrents flowed into this valley, the water was turbulent, and the impact was extremely fast. Hu Xiaotian simply drifted down the river, about two miles away, before taking Princess Anping to the shore, Princess Anping was already exhausted, and was pushed up to the river bank by Hu Xiaotian, lying there feeling that there was no part of the body bones that were not in pain, and she couldn't even use any strength around her body.
Hu Xiaotian then climbed onto the bank of the river, he didn't dare to stop on the bank, he looked around, the woods not far in front of him were dense, it should be a place to hide, so he picked up Princess Anping and quickly entered the dense forest. Found a cave near the mountain rock to hide from the wind and rain, Hu Xiaotian put Princess Anping on the ground, and helped her to lean against the stone wall behind. Fortunately, the two of them were not injured when they fell into the water from a height, and Princess Anping vomited a lot of yellow water one after another, and it took a while to recover her strength, and there were tears in her beautiful eyes. She grew up in the palace and was pampered, and she had never had such a thrilling twist and turn.
Hu Xiaotian saw her frightened eyes and knew that she still hadn't calmed down from the chase just now. said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, no one dares to do anything to you with me!" ”
Princess Anping looked at Hu Xiaotian's confident face, her heart suddenly settled down, she nodded, and only then did she find that she was still holding Hu Xiaotian's right hand tightly, and let go of his big hand with some trepidation. Hung her head shyly. But randomly thinking that Hu Xiaotian was just a eunuch, his reaction was a little excessive, and he combed the messy hair on his forehead backwards, and said worriedly: "Will they still chase after me?" ”
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I don't know!" Those people don't know where they came from, and they are very powerful. ”
Princess Anping said: "I don't know what happened to Qiqi?" Thinking of Qiqi, who was missing, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and her concern was overflowing.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'll go outside and take a look." ”
Princess Anping nodded, and when she saw Hu Xiaotian get up and walk out of the cave, she was a little worried and afraid: "Come back soon!" Hu Xiaotian turned to her and smiled. After going out, he quickly turned around and handed Princess Anping a wrist-thick branch: "Keep it for self-defense, if you really encounter any trouble, you can call me by my name." ”
Princess Anping said, "I'll still go with you." She stood up and came to Hu Xiaotian's side and grabbed his arm again. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing, in this environment, he has undoubtedly become Princess Anping's biggest support.
The two walked into the woods. When I came to the river again, the rain and fog had dissipated a lot. Hu Xiaotian's eyes could clearly see the scene within fifty zhang, the seven warriors didn't seem to be chasing after them, the rain was still falling endlessly, and the river had been dyed red by the red mud washed down from the mountain, red as blood.
Hu Xiaotian decided to return to the cave for a while to adjust and rest, and wait until the rain stopped before making plans.
There are quite a few hawthorn trees in the woods. The two picked some hawthorns and returned to the cave, and at present only these hawthorns could be used to fill their stomachs, and the hawthorns were not yet fully ripe, so they only ate one, and both of them were sad because of the sourness. Seeing the embarrassment of the other party, he laughed at the same time.
Hu Xiaotian said: "This hawthorn is to help digestion, and the more you eat, the hungrier you are." ”
Princess Anping said: "I hope our people can find it as much as possible." Her clothes were completely soaked, and the temperature had dropped a lot because of the rain, and she couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
Hu Xiaotian moved closer to her, not to be disrespectful to her, but to use his body temperature to bring her some warmth.
An Ping was very careful next to Hu Xiaotian's side, silently chewing the hawthorn fruit in his hand, but listened to Hu Xiaotian: "Why do you want to jump down?" ”
Princess Anping said, "Didn't you ask me to jump off?" ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "I mean if I lose, you will jump." ”
Princess Anping said: "I saw you jumping, so I jumped down, and now it seems that our luck is not bad." ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Princess Anping has experienced so many twists and turns, and she has long been exhausted, and she leaned on Hu Xiaotian's shoulder and fell asleep in a daze. Hu Xiaotian looked at her beautiful face, and the love and pity in his heart spontaneously appeared. It was getting darker and darker outside, and it should have been dusk, so I wonder if the people of the ranch have started to search in the valley? Are the seven killers gone?
The clothes on his body gradually dried, but it was already dark outside, the rain stopped, the sound of autumn insects murmuring came and went, and the temperature in the night dropped a lot, Princess Anping hugged Hu Xiaotian's arm in her sleep and hugged her delicate body tightly in his arms.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of the fate of Princess Anping, although she was a golden branch and jade leaf, but there was not much difference between herself in the palace, every move had to be under the surveillance of others, and she still remembered that Hoge, the twelfth prince of Sharjah, was originally going to come to Kyoto to ask her for marriage, if there was no chaos in Xichuan, maybe the old emperor would really marry her to Hogg. As children of the royal family, they have very little freedom, and they are even inferior to the children of ordinary people.
Princess Anping moved her head, a pair of starry eyes slowly stretched, she realized that she was lying in Hu Xiaotian's arms, hurriedly sat up straight, tidied up her clothes, fortunately it was dark in the cave, and she couldn't see her embarrassed expression at the moment, and after a while, she whispered: "How long have I been sleeping?" ”
Hu Xiaotian looked out of the cave: "It's been more than two hours!" "There hasn't been any unusual movement around during this time.
Princess Anping said: "It's so dark outside! ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "The rain has stopped, it should still be cloudy, and there is no moonlight." ”
"Are they gone?"
"Hope is gone, but we can't take any chances, and the longer we wait, the more likely they are to leave." Hu Xiaotian said that there is a basis, although he is a little eunuch and his status is insignificant, but the disappearance of Qiqi and Princess Anping will inevitably shake the entire Hongshan Racecourse, Fan Zongxi will definitely gather all the personnel of the entire Racecourse to go out to find their whereabouts, it should not be difficult to find this valley, and it is impossible for the seven killers to stay here for a long time.
Princess Anping fell silent.
"Are you afraid?"
Princess Anping shook her head and whispered, "I was a little scared at the beginning, but now I'm not afraid at all." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "It's useless to be afraid, so I simply magnify my courage." ”
Princess Anping said: "Isn't Xichuan Li Tianheng your future father-in-law?" You should be safe and sound when you stay in Xichuan, why should you come back? She obviously knew about Hu Xiaotian's situation.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I don't come, our Hu family may not be able to escape the bad luck of being beheaded all over the house, although I have not been spared the crime now, but after all, my father and mother are still alive." ”
Princess Anping said: "You have saved Qiqi, I saw her pleading with her own eyes, even if you don't come back, Your Majesty should not embarrass your family." ”
Hu Xiaotian felt her innocence because of Princess Anping's words, and smiled: "I only know that if I hide in Xichuan and don't come, then I can't forgive myself in my life." He stood up and stretched his arms: "I don't say this to prove how selfless and brave I am, as a son of man, I just did something that I had to do." ”
Princess Anping didn't speak, and Hu Xiaotian's words reminded her of her brother who was detained in Xichuan, and her father who was under house arrest in the palace. Faced with the plight of her relatives, she could only sigh, but she couldn't do anything, she didn't have the courage of Hu Xiaotian.
A pale green crystal light rose in front of the two of them, their eyes were attracted by the glimmer of light in front of them, and the fireflies flickered and dimmed, slowly flying out of the cave. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Do you want to go out and have a look?" ”
Princess Anping nodded, grabbed Hu Xiaotian's outstretched hand and stood up, and the two walked out of the cave together.
At one o'clock, two or three o'clock, more and more fluorescent flashes in the dark night, like stars lighting up this dull night, Princess Anping's pretty face illuminated by fluorescence bloomed with a warm smile, she was immersed in the wonderful night in front of her.
Hu Xiaotian's gaze followed the flying fireflies to the night sky overhead, the hazy moon shadow appeared behind the clouds like black smoke, the moonlight dispersed the clouds, the sky finally recovered, the full moon was as clear as a silver plate, quietly sprinkling the light like mercury in this quiet valley.
The scene in front of him was full of poetry, Hu Xiaotian almost didn't take out the ancient poems in his stomach to show off, thinking about whether to use a sentence to wish people a long time, thousands of miles to knock on the heart of Princess Anping? There are too many ancient Yongyue poems that I have memorized, and for a while, my thoughts are like a spring, and my brain surges up, but I don't know which one should be the highest.
Princess Anping said, "I heard that you are very good at couplets. ”
Hu Xiaotian didn't expect that he had sold a few times in the capital, and he became famous, so he said with a cheeky and modest face: "General." ”
Princess Anping said: "I have a couplet for you to try." ”
