Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2013: Shattered but Not Dead

The group carefully searched down the steep cliff until the evening, when Chen Changli finally found the seriously injured and unconscious Liu Xiuyun at the bottom of the cliff.

Next to her, Qin Tianci was lying there, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Chen Changli's eyes darkened, and he quickly checked their breathing and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I'm not late."

Having said that, Chen Changli prepared to take Liu Xiuyun away. As for Qin Tianci, he came here alone and could not take two people with him.

Although Qin Tianci was not dead, his breath was extremely weak. He didn't want Wan Shufang to be tired and go to save such a difficult thing.

Thinking of this, he said "I'm sorry" and picked up Liu Xiuyun. But before he took a step, he saw a woman in coarse clothes walking out of the woods.

The two looked at each other and Chen Changli stopped.

The moment she saw Chen Changli, Lu Xiaoyue was slightly stunned, and then her eyes became brighter and brighter. She had lived in the mountains for a long time and had never seen such a handsome man.

She was secretly delighted and her eyes showed admiration, but when she looked down and saw that Chen Changli was holding a girl, Lu Xiaoyue froze: "Sir, why are you... holding a bloody girl here?"

Lu Xiaoyue asked tentatively, but Chen Changli did not answer. He just looked at her with vigilance in his eyes. Lu Xiaoyue was smart and understood his thoughts almost instantly, so she smiled and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'm the daughter of a hunter in the south. I go into the mountains to collect firewood every day. We live at the foot of this mountain and have lived there for many years."

"I happened to meet you when I entered the mountain today. I saw that your wife was covered in blood. The mountain road is difficult to walk on. Why don't you go to the thatched cottage where I stayed to rest and bandage your wounds before leaving."

Lu Xiaoyue was certain that this was the first time that Chen Changli came to the foot of the cliff. After all, she had never seen him before.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Chen Changli hesitated for a moment, but finally, looking at the seriously injured Liu Xiuyun, he nodded.

"Okay, thank you, young lady. However, she is not my wife. She is just a friend who fell off a cliff by accident. I came down to look for her."

"Is that so? That young master is truly a man of deep affection and loyalty. My name is Lu Xiaoyue. May I ask your name?"

"Chen Changli."

"Brother Chen, your name is so nice." Lu Xiaoyue smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, and she looked sweet and peaceful.

But I was thinking, it would be best if it wasn’t my wife.

Chen Changli had no idea what she was thinking and responded indifferently all the way. He was thinking in his mind that when he arrived at the place, he would send a signal to Wan Shufang so that she could treat Liu Xiuyun's injury.

The two of them stumbled to the thatched hut, and Chen Changli put Liu Xiuyun down. It was already dark at this time, and the bottom of the cliff was too large. In order to save time, Chen Changli and his group acted separately.

He looked at the sky and sent a signal to Wan Shufang. This was a message of safety, to let Wan Shufang know that he was safe. Even if she saw him, she didn't need to rush over. It was dark and the road was long, and he was worried.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing in the yard?"

"Nothing." Chen Changli put away the flare, turned around, and saw Lu Xiaoyue coming out with a basin of water: "Brother Chen, wash your hands. There is another room over there. You can stay there."

"No need. She is too badly injured and not suitable to sleep with anyone. You can stay in the empty room and I'll stay in the yard." As he said that, he fixed his gaze on a peach tree in the yard, walked over quickly, leaned against the tree and closed his eyes.

"Brother Chen, how can we sleep here..."

"I'm used to traveling around the world, don't worry Miss Lu, we are already very grateful for your help, and we can't shamelessly occupy the room anymore."

His tone was serious and formal, with an aura that brooked no refusal. Lu Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and looked at the handsome and elegant man in front of her. For the first time, she felt that this peach tree was so annoying!

She wanted to cut down the tree right now.

But Lu Xiaoyue knew very well that love should develop gradually, so she didn't force it and went back to her room to rest. However, she became more determined to win Chen Changli.

The next day, when Wan Shufang arrived, she saw Lu Xiaoyue being courteous to Chen Changli.

"Changli." Her eyes suddenly turned cold. She looked at the cup of tea between them, raised it and drank it all in one gulp: "Sorry, I'm too thirsty."

"Husband, is Xiuyun okay?"

Hearing this, Chen Changli was slightly stunned. It was rare for her to call him husband in front of outsiders, not even when the secret guards were around. How could she...

Seeing that Chen Changli was hesitant to answer, Wan Shufang frowned, but didn't say anything, and said calmly: "Forget it, let's go back first so that we can get treatment, An Yi."

At the command, An Yi immediately understood and went into the house to pick up Liu Xiuyun. In the corner, lay Qin Tianci, who Chen Changli had picked up yesterday.

"Madam, this..."

"Let's take them together. Xiuyun's child is still unaccounted for, and Qin Tianci cannot die."

"Yes." An Yi took the order, called a few secret guards, and carried Qin Tianci away.

Several people left the house, and Wan Shufang took Chen Changli's arm and said, "Thank you for hosting my husband and his family for one night. This is my reward. Thank you very much."

She took out some change and put it on the table. Although it was not much, it was enough for accommodation. It was also Wan Shufang's way of preventing Lu Xiaoyue from pestering them if she gave too much.

After she finished speaking, before Lu Xiaoyue could react, she pulled Chen Changli away. Only after everyone had left did Lu Xiaoyue realize what was happening. She stared at the broken silver and bit her lips unwillingly.

After returning to Liu's house, Wan Shufang immediately examined Liu Xiuyun. Half a day passed before Wan Shufang came out of the room. Seeing the anxious faces of Yunxiang and others, she sighed.

"She has saved her life, but Xiuyun's leg bones are broken. She may not be able to be saved. I can only try my best. The worst result is that she will never be able to stand up again."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiang and Zhong Zhoufeng were relieved. They just felt good that the person was not dead.

"It's okay, I will take care of you for the rest of my life." Zhong Zhoufeng patted his chest and made the promise spontaneously. Yunxiang also raised her hand not to be outdone.

"Me too."

As they were talking, the two of them remembered that Liu Xiuyun was injured because of Qin Tianci, and they immediately cursed the Qin family.

At this time, a cough was heard in the room. Several people hurried in and saw Liu Xiuyun waking up. Yunxiang ran to the bed crying, "Miss, it's all Yunxiang's fault. Yunxiang didn't protect you well."

Her head was still wrapped in dazzling white gauze, and it was obvious that the wound had not healed, but she was crying sadly at the moment.

"Yunxiang, stop crying. It's not good for your wound." When she mentioned the wound, she seemed to have thought of something and eagerly got up from the bed: "Ping An, where is my Ping An?"

Hearing this, Zhong Zhoufeng was silent for a long time, and finally walked forward slowly and half-knelt on the ground: "Miss, after you and Qin Tianci fell off the cliff yesterday, the Qin family...did not let you go."
