Xiao Wu likes to listen to Xiao Rong in everything, but when even Xiao Rong cannot make up his mind about something, Xiao Wu will become particularly negative and desperate.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was already half the time of the incense stick. The people at Longhu Hall must have been impatient for a long time, maybe the person who urged me to die was on the way.
Xiao Wu lowered his eyes and looked towards the mountain stream. It was pitch black, and eyes like deep holes were staring straight at him.
And this sound of wind is the roar of this beast.
"Sister," Xiao Wu said sadly, "I'm scared."
The girls' faces were all pale due to the night wind. Xiao Rong took a step closer to Xiao Wu and slightly hooked his arm holding the wine jar to comfort Xiao Wu.
"What is she going to do?" A girl next to her said in confusion.
All the girls looked back to the other side of the compound.
At the other end of the creek in the northeast, a thin and petite figure was walking towards him, limping and with his head hanging down, one step at a time.
"It's Ah Li." Xiao Wu said softly.
Ah Li's hair was a little disheveled, her clothes were shabby, there was a large patch of yellow mud on her back, and there was a big gash on the knee of her trouser leg.
She was holding a wooden box in her hand and walking in a trance, looking thoughtful and anxious.
When she got closer, she raised her head and stopped when she saw the group of girls looking at her.
"Ah Li." Xiao Wu shouted, but Xiao Rong stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Xiao Wu." Xia Zhaoyi also called.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Xiao Wu looked at the wooden box in her hand.
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head feeling guilty and uneasy: "It's nothing."
In the center of the courtyard over there, the servants who noticed some movement looked over. Yu Ma was stunned and recognized that the wooden box was specially prepared by her and wanted Ali to send it to Reping.
Why send it now?
Yu Ma wiped her hands and was about to go over. Her sarong was held by a small black hand: "Yu Ma."
Yu Ma lowered her head.
Qian Qianqian raised his eyes and looked at her: "Mom Yu, my stomach hurts."
Despite Xiao Wu's suspicious gaze, Ah Li walked forward, quickly bypassed the group of girls holding wine jars, and stepped onto the stone bridge.
"Ah Li." Xiao Wu called again.
Xiaorong pulled her: "Don't."
Ah Li didn't seem to hear it and walked directly to the other side of the bridge.
The bridge connects the cliffs on both sides, with the back mountain to the west and the front mountain to the east. They are ten feet apart and two feet wide.
There were originally wooden and stone supports in a triangular shape near the cliffs on both sides, but due to age, several supports on the east side were hung up by the wind early, and the bridge body near the front mountain also broke and folded last night.
Several servants stopped what they were doing and looked up at Ah Li.
The tall maid and the two companions next to her were also looking at her, always feeling that this weird girl would not rush over like this stupidly.
But her footsteps did not stop and she was already halfway there.
The bridge is a little swaying, and every time the wind gets stronger, it feels like it's crumbling.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the cracks on the bridge through the lights in the distance. He walked slowly and slowly and quickly reached the broken bridge deck.
There was a large puddle of water here, which was very slippery. Xia Zhaoyi stopped, and the hearts of those who looked at her from a distance were in suspense.
Sometimes you don't necessarily feel dizzy when you are standing at a high place. You may feel suffocated when you see others standing on a precipitous cliff.
"Is she really stupid or is she trying to make a show of herself?" the tall maid whispered in confusion.
The companion next to him shook his head and said, "She seems to be afraid."
The girl was a little trembling and stood there, not daring to move forward, and even less daring to move back.
The wind blew loudly, her hair was completely messed up, her trousers were torn, and the mountain wind made her trouser legs fat and bulging.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and looked at the cracks around his feet, and finally faintly felt that the soft hollows on the soles of his feet were starting to sink due to the force.
She retracted her attention, bypassed the small pool filled with rainwater, and walked across the narrow bridge next to it.
There was the sound of boulders loosening behind them, and more gravel fell.
In the eyes of everyone, she walked towards the opposite cliff, limped onto the stone bridge, crossed the plains, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"She's fine." Xiao Wu said.
"That doesn't mean we will be fine, right?" A little girl on the side said fearfully.
"She is lighter," another girl said, "Anyway, I think this bridge is about to collapse..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dust and sand under the bridge suddenly became like heavy rain, and the gravel poured down like crazy, with a crashing sound and extremely loud movement.
Several girls subconsciously backed away holding the wine jar, while the servants stepped forward one after another.
The crack that seemed to be broken was finally completely broken. When the huge bridge body fell down and was about to hit them on the cliff of the west mountain, the bridge deck on the west side could not bear the huge force and broke.
There was a loud noise, and the heavy stone bridge crashed down the mountain stream. The ground trembled violently, and several girls squatted down and screamed.
The few boys who ran to the backyard to order the food and drinks almost didn't fall. After regaining their balance, they were startled and ran away faster.
In the Longhu Hall, Bian Baye, who was discussing future countermeasures, changed his expression and shouted: "What happened, go and see!"
"yes!"
Those ten heads and the second master were the first to run out with their swords in hand.
"It's really broken."
Xiao Wu stared blankly at the mountain abyss in front of him. Without the stone bridge, the space between the two mountains was empty, which was very scary.
"It's broken, it's broken." A girl next to her could not contain her joy and shouted in a low voice.
If you break it off, you don't have to go through it, and you don't have to worry about being punished.
"What's going on?" Aunt Feng finally appeared, striding over with Mrs. Liang, and asked quickly, "What happened?"
"It's broken, Aunt Feng." A girl pointed to the outside of the cliff, "The stone bridge has fallen!"
Aunt Feng looked at the cliff, feeling very uncomfortable, but it was fine if it was broken, so there was no need to embarrass herself.
At this time, young boys came running from the opposite side and stopped at the edge of the cliff, looking at the dark mountain stream in horror.
"It's broken!" Aunt Feng shouted, "The bridge has fallen!"
The mountain wind was strong, and her sharp voice was blown away a little.
Several boys looked at each other, and one of them said: "I'll go talk to Master Ba."
"Go quickly."
The boy turned around and ran away, only to find a girl standing there not far away holding a wooden box, dumbfounded.
"Don't go back." The boy shouted to the girl casually, "There is no bridge!"
The girl stood some distance away from the cliff, looking at the cliff and ignoring him.
The boy had already ran away in a hurry.
When the boy ran to the direction of Longhu Hall to report to Bian Baye and the others, the whole area of Chufeng Courtyard and Xiayuan was already alarmed.
Caiming helped Mrs. Bian and hurried over. On the way, she met Bian Yuanfeng and Bian Yuanxue. The aunts over there also came. Bian Lei supported Aunt Liu and shouted to Mrs. Bian: "Hello, madam."
"Let's go," Mrs. Bian said, "Let's go and see together."
More and more people came, but they were blocked in front of the mountain abyss.
The aroma of food on the opposite side is wafting away, and people who have been hungry all day are going crazy with greed.
