Chapter 217 I Must Save Him
Because Gou Hongmei's wounds had not yet healed completely, the journey was as slow as a snail's pace, and the escort team moved forward slowly.
When they walked onto a wide road, everyone's eyes were drawn to the figure lying on the ground in the middle of the road as if attracted by a magnet.
I saw a one-armed man lying there quietly and motionless like a lifeless sculpture.
When I got closer, I saw that the man's body was covered with sword wounds, which was shocking.
Especially the broken arm. Although the blood had stopped flowing, the wound still displayed its horror in a hideous manner, presenting a heart-wrenching tragedy.
What's worse is that this person has now fallen into a coma like a sleeping lion.
Guard Ning and others cast curious glances, but no one stopped to pay attention to or save the injured man.
Even Gou Chunmei thought so at first. She didn't want to cause herself unnecessary trouble.
However, just as the team was about to pass by that person, a memory suddenly flashed through Gou Chunmei's mind.
She remembered that when she was in desperate situation, her benefactor had turned a blind eye to her just like now.
But in the end, the benefactor still couldn't harden his heart and watch him die.
Look at the man with a broken arm in front of him. Although he is seriously injured, he is still alive tenaciously. He must have extraordinary martial arts skills.
Moreover, if I help him out at this time, maybe I can gain a loyal right-hand man who follows me?
Thinking of this, Gou Chunmei made up her mind, as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness.
So, she completely ignored the dissuasion of Ning Huwei and others, and without hesitation, she loudly ordered the entire team to stop immediately.
This action caused people who were originally moving to stop and look at each other in confusion.
Immediately afterwards, Gou Chunmei hurriedly turned around and walked back.
After a while, he came to the side of the man with the broken arm.
She leaned forward slightly, staring straight at the man's face, which was as pale as paper and bloodless.
Then he raised his head and said in a deep voice to Guard Ning who was standing beside him with an anxious look on his face: "I must save him!"
The tone was so firm that there was no room for negotiation.
"Miss, our most important thing on this trip is to hurry up! If we bring such a seriously injured person with us, it will definitely delay the progress of the entire journey!" Guard Ning looked embarrassed.
She tried to persuade Gou Chunmei to change this decision which might bring a lot of trouble.
However, she also knew in her heart that once Gou Chunmei made up her mind, it would not be easy for others to sway her.
Gou Chunmei was not moved at all, and continued to repeat the words stubbornly: "I want to save him!"
It seems that there is no other choice besides this.
Seeing this, Guard Ning knew in his heart that he could not disobey Gou Chunmei's orders at all.
From the moment Gou Chunmei defeated the group of girls, their identities changed.
Gou Chunmei is the high and mighty master, and she is the humble servant.
She could only sigh helplessly, like an eggplant hit by frost, and nodded weakly, "Okay, since the young lady has made up her mind, I will obey your command."
After saying that, she turned around and directed her men to carefully lift the man with the broken arm onto the carriage.
He quickly found some simple medicines and cloth strips and gave his wounds a rough but timely treatment.
After everything was arranged, the team set off again.
But this time, Gou Chunmei did not sit in the carriage as usual, but walked and waited quietly by the side of the man with the broken arm.
Her beautiful eyes looked at the unconscious man from time to time, secretly hoping that he would be grateful after his injuries healed.
From then on, he served me loyally and became a faithful and reliable servant.
In this way, the days passed day by day.
After several days of careful care and a long wait, one day, the man's eyes, which had been closed for a long time, slowly opened and his consciousness gradually began to return...
Gou Chunmei walked forward with light steps and asked softly, "Are you awake? How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"
The voice is gentle and melodious, as sweet as the sound of a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.
The man slowly woke up, his eyes full of vigilance. He quickly looked around and was shocked.
He subconsciously reached for his waist with his right hand, wanting to draw his sword to defend himself, but then his face turned pale. Only then did he remember that his left arm was broken and he couldn't hold the hilt of the sword at all.
Seeing this, Gou Chunmei quickly soothed him softly, "Don't be afraid, sir. It's safe here. I saved you."
"The wounds on your body haven't healed completely yet. You need to rest for a while. Please don't move around!" After saying that, she gestured for him to relax.
After hearing what Gou Chunmei said, the man's tense nerves relaxed a little, but he still looked at her with suspicion.
It was not until the man heard Gou Chunmei's account of the whole story that he completely let down his guard.
At this moment, when he looked at Gou Chunmei, there was unconsciously a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
Especially when he saw Gou Chunmei's stunning and extraordinary face, a strange light flashed quickly in his eyes.
It turned out that this man was the mysterious black shadow whose left arm was chopped off by Zhao Meir.
That day, he was seriously injured, but he endured the severe pain and fled all the way from the distant Heifeng County to here.
However, due to severe injuries and excessive blood loss, he eventually collapsed and fainted on the side of the road.
He originally thought that he was doomed, but he never expected that he would be rescued by the beautiful girl in front of him.
"Thank you, Miss, for saving my life!" said the black shadow gratefully.
In this way, after several days, the group finally returned to the capital safely after going through untold hardships.
When Gou Chunmei finally saw her long-cherished mother, the strength she had pretended to show along the way collapsed in an instant.
She threw herself into her mother's warm arms like a child.
"Mom... Mei'er finally sees you! Wuuuuu..." At this moment, Gou Chunmei had already burst into tears.
The heartbroken cry seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and reach the softest part of people's hearts.
Her tears burst out like a flood, instantly soaking her mother Yin Zhizi's clothes.
Yin Zhizi hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, feeling mixed emotions.
This child, whom she cherished like a treasure and raised in the palm of her hand, now has to follow the same path as herself.
Who can truly understand the bitterness and helplessness in this?
