At night, the Sunset Ridge was filled with moist mist, and it was very cold.
Lin Xiner has been waiting in the mountains for three hours, from dusk until the sun sets behind the mountains and the bright moon is in the sky.
She had expected it, but she didn't expect Ximen Jingxuan to show up later than she had guessed.
Sunset Ridge is a good place to hide. Lin Xiner deliberately put herself out of sight, and didn't care if there was a pair of hidden eyes staring at her. Because she is Lin Xiner now, the good-for-nothing one.
Lame lady.
Lin Xiner has been sitting on the stone, holding her shoulders tightly with her hands, huddled up. The night is getting darker and darker, and the mountain is getting colder and colder. Looking around, it is foggy and dark.
Lin Xiner stood up and looked around. She seemed unable to distinguish the southeast, so she randomly chose a direction and staggered away.
Since Ximen Jingxuan arrived at Sunset Ridge, he has only seen Lin Xiner alone on the ridge. Since she is at the highest point and the surrounding area is relatively empty, it is easy to find her.
Ximen Jingxuan quietly hid aside and watched the situation on the mountain. Except for Lin Xiner, he did not notice the presence of anyone else.
If that person hadn't completely hidden her breath, then she wasn't in Sunset Ridge.
When Ximen Jingxuan thought about this, his heart suddenly felt empty, as if something was missing, and he felt slightly disappointed.
Disappointed? Is it because I didn’t see her?
Ximen Jingxuan narrowed his eyes and calmed down his heart again. How could he care about a woman who angered him?
Even if he didn't care, Ximen Jingxuan also hid on the ridge for two hours without knowing it, seeming to be watching Lin Xiner, hiding a faint wait.
Lin Xiner walked staggeringly while distinguishing the sounds in the ridge and the sounds that did not belong to the ridge.
Ximen Jingxuan, you are so patient. Lin Xiner felt the slight noise caused by her walking, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly. She has been very patient in staying in Sunset Ridge for so long, Ximen Jing
Xuan is willing to spend time with him. Is he still doubting himself, or does he think he will see someone from Shuiyue Palace?
Lin Xiner's steps were very slow, and the road under her feet was slippery. There was thick moisture gathering on the ridge in the middle of the night, and the soil in the grass was wet and slippery.
Lin Xin'er let herself fall and got up with difficulty. She deeply remembered the time when she was injured when she was pushed off the cliff by Lin Ke'er. At that time, her leg had not healed yet. She was really lame after falling.
It is very difficult and painful to get up alone on the ground.
So I asked her to pretend it again. She could pretend to be very similar to the situation at that time and vividly remember it.
"Miss, Miss, where are you -"
In the quiet ridge, a call sounded, faintly, still far away.
Lin Xiner had already recognized that it was Yan'er. She heard her call before it was so obvious, but she shouldn't have reacted at that time. Until now, Yan'er's voice should have been heard.
After hearing it normally, she sat down in the dirt and tried to identify the direction of the sound.
"Miss, Miss——"
Yan'er's voice is getting closer and closer.
"Yan'er?" Lin Xin'er responded tentatively.
"Miss - ah -"
It was the sound of Yan'er falling.
"Yan'er!" Lin Xin'er responded eagerly, her heart darkening, why did Yan'er come to Sunset Ridge?
"Miss, is that you?" Yan'er's voice was trembling with excitement.
"It's me, Yan'er!" Lin Xiner struggled to stand up from the dirt and staggered towards Yan'er.
Soon, Yan'er came over.
Both of them were covered in muddy water and weeds from the mountains, and even their faces were stained.
"Miss, it's really you. I finally found you!" Yan'er walked up to Lin Xiner and believed her eyes, her voice was choked with sobs.
"Yan'er, why are you here? Did the prince ask you to come? He only asked you to pick me up?" Lin Xin'er looked Yan'er up and down and asked pretending to be confused. She knew that Yan'er came to Sunset Ridge with
Ximen Jingxuan has nothing to do with it.
Yan'er shook her head as expected, took a breath and said, "During the day, I planned to run back to the Grand Master's Mansion while no one was paying attention to me in Prince Xuan's Mansion, and beg the Master to come forward to find me. However, I met a beggar on the way.
As he walked, he muttered something about asking the prince to go to Sunset Ridge to pick up someone, as if he was afraid of forgetting it. Later, when the servant saw the beggar, he went to the door of Prince Xuan's Mansion and waited until Butler Yang came out before saying anything. The beggar left for a long time and was not seen.
If there was any movement in the palace, I went back to the Taishi Mansion to look for the master. The master was not there, only the madam, so the slave didn't say anything and tried to come to Sunset Ridge alone."
"You came here by yourself? You came all the way after such a long journey?" Lin Xin'er wiped the muddy water from Yan'er's face and asked with concern, "Aren't you afraid of the barren mountains and ridges?"
Yan'er has been traveling for three or four hours.
"I'm not afraid." Yan'er shook her head, with a smile on her tired face, "I am very happy to find the young lady. There has been no news at all in the past few days since the young lady was kidnapped. It is not easy to have some faith, even if others don't
Come, I must come and try my luck, too."
"Yan'er, thank you!" Lin Xiner hugged Yan'er and said sincerely. Besides her mother, Yan'er was the best person to her. They were not masters and servants, but sisters with deep love.
Yan'er's appearance was beyond her plan, but she was deeply moved.
"Miss, can you still leave?" Yan'er pushed Lin Xiner away, looked down at Lin Xiner's legs, and said worriedly, "Let me carry you."
"No, I can leave." Lin Xiner quickly refused, "What about you? Is your leg feeling better?"
Yan'er nodded, "I've been resting in the palace for a few days and I'm fine now."
As she said that, Yan'er couldn't help but twitch her nose, and said with red eyes, "Everything will be fine sooner or later. It's troublesome for Miss to go out to buy medicine, and you have to worry about so many things."
"By the way, I would have forgotten the medicine if you didn't tell me." Lin Xiner took out the medicinal wine bottle from her body, "Here you go, put it away, it will inevitably get bumpy, so keep it for use."
Bumps and bumps are inevitable?
Ximen Jingxuan, who was hiding in the dark, paid attention to the master and servant. When he heard what Lin Xiner said, something seemed to flash in his heart, but he didn't pay attention.
"Come on, let's leave the mountains quickly." Lin Xiner said again.
Yan'er looked around and said hesitantly, "I'm not sure about the way down the mountain."
She had already lost her way. If she hadn't met Lin Xiner, she wouldn't have had to wander around the mountains for how long.
"Just leave, you will eventually leave." Lin Xiner held Yan'er's hand.
In other words, it was Yan'er who supported Lin Xiner.
The master and servant supported each other and walked in the darkness with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Lin Xiner was a little annoyed at the person who had been following her in the dark. Isn't it interesting to watch their embarrassment like this?
She seemed to be tired and stopped, and Lin Xiner wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Miss, let me pick some wild fruits for you." Yan'er said, letting go of Lin Xiner and walking toward the faint bushes not far away. Before she could find Lin Xiner, she saw those people in the ridge.
There were some small fruits on the bush, and she was so hungry and thirsty that she picked them and ate them.
"Yan'er, no!" Lin Xiner shouted urgently.
It’s not that I don’t want her to pick fruits, but I don’t want her to go that way, because——
