Hu Xiaotian fell straight down, and soon he fell into the cold water. He was lucky. There was indeed a big river below. He emerged from the bottom and wiped the water stains on his face. Suddenly he found another person above his head.
Falling down rapidly and letting out a sharp scream, Hu Xiaotian had already judged from the sound that the fallen person was Princess Anping. He identified the place where Princess Anping fell into the water and quickly swam there. The current was so fast that he finally swam to the place.
He dived under the water and fumbled for a while before finding Princess Anping underwater. Hu Xiaotian held her delicate body and brought her to the surface.
Princess Anping's face was pale, and she kept coughing due to being choked by the river water. In an instinctive reaction, she hugged Hu Xiaotian's neck tightly. All the surrounding mountain torrents flowed into the valley. The water flow was rapid and the impact was extremely fast. Hu Xiaotian simply drifted with the current, probably
After drifting for more than two miles, they swam to the shore with Princess Anping. Princess Anping was already exhausted. She was pushed to the river bank by Hu Xiaotian. She lay there feeling pain everywhere in her body and she couldn't exert any strength.
.
Hu Xiaotian then climbed up the river bank. He did not dare to stop on the bank. He looked around and saw that there were dense woods not far ahead, which should be a hiding place. So he picked up Princess Anping and quickly entered the dense forest. Near the rock
They found a cave to shelter from the wind and rain. Hu Xiaotian put Princess Anping on the ground, then supported her and let her lean against the stone wall at the back. Fortunately, both of them were not injured when they fell into the water from a height. Princess Anping fell into the water one after another.
She vomited a lot of yellow water, and it took her a while to regain her composure, with tears gleaming in her beautiful eyes. She had grown up in the palace and was pampered, and had never experienced such a thrilling twists and turns.
Hu Xiaotian saw her frightened eyes and knew that she still hadn't calmed down from the chase. He said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, no one will dare to do anything to you while I'm here!"
Princess Anping looked at Hu Xiaotian's confident face, and her heart suddenly calmed down. She nodded. Only then did she realize that she was still holding Hu Xiaotian's right hand tightly, and she let go of his big hand with some fear. She lowered her head shyly.
But I randomly thought that Hu Xiaotian was just a eunuch, and my reaction was a bit excessive. I trimmed the messy hair from my forehead back, and asked worriedly: "Will they still catch up?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I don't know! Those people don't know their origins, they are very powerful."
Princess Anping asked: "I wonder what happened to Qiqi?" Thinking of Qiqi who was missing, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and her concern was beyond words.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'll go outside and take a look."
Princess Anping nodded, and when she saw Hu Xiaotian getting up and walking out of the cave, she felt a little worried and scared: "Come back soon!" Hu Xiaotian turned around and smiled at her. After going out, he quickly turned around and handed Princess Anping a wrist-thick
Branch: "Keep it for self-defense. If you encounter any trouble, just call me by my name."
Princess Anping said: "I'd better go with you." She stood up, came to Hu Xiaotian and grabbed his arm again. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing. In this environment, she has undoubtedly become Princess Anping's biggest support.
The two walked into the woods and came to the river again. By this time, the rain and fog had dissipated a lot. Hu Xiaotian's eyesight could clearly see the scene within fifty feet. The seven warriors did not seem to be chasing after them, and the rain still continued.
It was raining heavily, and the river water had been dyed red by the red mud washed down from the mountains, as red as blood.
Hu Xiaotian decided to temporarily return to the cave to adjust and rest, and wait until the rain stopped before making any plans.
There were many hawthorn trees in the woods. The two picked some hawthorns and returned to the cave. At present, these hawthorns were the only ones that could be used to fill their stomachs. The hawthorns were not yet fully mature, so they only ate one. Both of them felt sour.
He frowned, but when he saw the other person's embarrassment, he laughed at the same time.
Hu Xiaotian said: "This hawthorn helps digestion. The more you eat, the hungrier you will become."
Princess Anping said: "I hope our people can be found as soon as possible." Her clothes were completely soaked. At this time, 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 disrespect her, but to bring her some warmth with his own body temperature.
Anping carefully stood next to Hu Xiaotian, silently chewing the hawthorn fruit in his hand, but he heard Hu Xiaotian say: "Why did you jump down?"
Princess Anping said: "Didn't you ask me to jump down?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I mean if I lose, you can jump down."
Princess Anping said: "I saw you jumping down, so I jumped down after you. Now it seems that our luck is pretty good."
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Princess Anping had gone through so many twists and turns and was already exhausted. At some point, she leaned on Hu Xiaotian's shoulder and fell asleep. Hu Xiaotian looked at her beautiful and beautiful face, and a feeling of love and pity emerged in his heart. The sky outside was bright.
It's getting darker and darker, and it should be dusk. I wonder if the people at the ranch have started searching in the valley? Have the seven killers left?
The clothes on her body gradually became dry, but it was already dark outside. The rain stopped, the sounds of autumn insects kept coming and going, and the temperature dropped a lot at night. Princess Anping hugged Hu Xiaotian's arm in her sleep, and pressed her delicate body tightly against her.
In his arms.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of the fate of Princess Anping. Although she was a noble person, she was not much different from him in the palace. Every move she made was under the supervision of others. He still remembered Huo, the twelfth prince of Sharjah Kingdom.
Ge, originally wanted to come to Kyoto to propose marriage to her. If there hadn't been the incident in Xichuan, maybe the old emperor would have betrothed her to Hoge. As children of the royal family, the freedom they have is really pitiful, and even
Not as good as children from ordinary people's families.
Princess Anping moved her head, and her starry eyes slowly opened. She realized that she was lying in Hu Xiaotian's arms. She hurriedly sat up straight and straightened her clothes. Fortunately, it was dark inside the cave and she couldn't see.
She looked embarrassed at the moment. After a while, she whispered: "How long have I been asleep?"
Hu Xiaotian looked outside the cave: "More than two hours!" During this period, there was no unusual movement around him.
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."
"Have they left already?"
"Hope has left, but we can't take risks. The longer we wait, the greater the possibility of them leaving." What Hu Xiaotian said is well-founded. Although he is a young eunuch and his status is insignificant, the disappearance of Qiqi and Princess Anping will inevitably
Shocking the entire Hongshan Racecourse, Fan Zongxi will definitely gather all the personnel of the entire racecourse to search for their whereabouts. It should not be difficult to find this valley. It is impossible for the seven killers to stay here for a long time.
Princess Anping fell silent.
"Are you scared?"
Princess Anping shook her head and whispered: "I was a little scared at first, but now I'm not scared at all."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's useless to be afraid, so I just need to be more courageous."
Princess Anping said: "Isn't Li Tianheng of Xichuan your future father-in-law? You should be fine if you stay in Xichuan, why do you want to come back?" She obviously had some understanding of Hu Xiaotian's situation.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I hadn't come, our Hu family might not have been able to escape the fate of being executed. Although we are not immune now, my parents are still alive after all."
Princess Anping said: "You saved Qi Qi. I saw her begging for mercy from Your Majesty with my own eyes. Even if you don't come back, Your Majesty will not embarrass your family."
Hu Xiaotian felt Princess Anping's innocence because of her words, and smiled: "I only know that if I hide in Xichuan and don't come, then I will never be able to forgive myself in this life." He stood up and stretched his arms: "
I don’t say this to prove how selfless or brave I am, as a son of man, I just did something that I should do.”
Princess Anping did not speak. 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. Facing the plight of her relatives, she could only sigh but was powerless. She did not have the courage like Hu Xiaotian.
A light green crystal light slowly rose in front of the two people. Their eyes were attracted by the light in front of them. The fireflies flickered on and off, and slowly flew 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 extended hand and stood up, and the two of them walked out of the cave together.
At one, two, three o'clock, more and more fluorescent lights flashed in the dark night, like stars lighting up the dull night. Princess Anping's pretty face illuminated by fluorescent lights showed a warm and understanding smile.
She was immersed in the wonderful night before her.
Hu Xiaotian's eyes followed the flying fireflies to the night sky above his head. The hazy moon shadow appeared behind the black smoke-like clouds. The moonlight dispersed the clouds, and the sky finally regained its clearness. The full moon was as bright as a silver plate, quietly turning the mercury.
The light shines in this quiet valley.
The scene in front of him was so poetic that Hu Xiaotian almost took out the ancient poems in his stomach to show off. He was thinking about whether he should use the sentence "I wish you a long life, and we can share the beauty of the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away" to open the heart of Princess Anping? This guy has memorized this poem.
There were so many Yue Gu poems that my thoughts came to my mind like a spring, but I didn’t know which one I should choose as the most compelling one.
Princess Anping said: "I heard that you are very good at couplets."
Hu Xiaotian didn't expect that he would become famous after showing off a few times in the capital, so he said shamelessly and modestly: "Just average."
Princess Anping said: "I have a couplet for you to try."
