Chapter 277: Falling from a Cliff (Longji Xiaoxian)
The next day, Princess Dezhao's mansion.
You shot the wrong shot again. In the martial arts field, the fifth princess turned her head and looked at Cheng Wei in confusion.
Cheng Wei smiled apologetically: I didn’t catch it firmly just now, I’ll do it again.
The fifth princess suddenly reached out and held her bow: No more.
Cheng Wei took back the ox horn bow awkwardly.
Let's ride a horse to play in the mountains. The fifth princess suddenly turned around.
ah
The fifth princess approached Cheng Wei and suddenly raised her hand and pulled her cheek: You haven't laughed for several days, and you're in a good mood when you go out for a run.
Cheng Wei lowered his eyes, slid his eyelashes a few times, and nodded: OK.
Because they were riding horses and shooting archery, the two were dressed neatly, so they naturally didn't have to change their clothes. They brought some necessary things into the mountain.
As soon as they entered the mountain, the two rode their horses and ran. Their mounts were all good horses that were picked from thousands of miles away, and they soon threw the maids and guards who followed him far away.
The scenery on both sides quickly retreated, and the sound of wind was everywhere in his ears. When the big dark horse slowly stopped, Cheng Wei's back was already wet with sweat, and he felt particularly refreshing and bright.
Maybe because I knew my master was going to vent, the big dark horse ran very fast, a huge piece beyond the fifth princess's bay horse.
After a while, the Zhuhongma brought the fifth princess to catch up.
The fifth princess tied the reins and stopped beside Cheng Wei.
She did not rush to speak, but squinted her eyes and blew in the wind. She felt so happy that she turned her head and asked Cheng Wei: Are you feeling good?
Cheng Wei hesitated for a moment and nodded: It’s much better.
The fifth princess smiled and rode on the horse to look into the distance. She murmured: When I am unhappy, I will ride into the mountain and run like this, and then I will not be sad.
Cheng Wei followed the fifth princess to look into the distance.
She had to admit that the fifth princess's words made some sense. When she vented happily, facing the turbulent situation of nature, her personal troubles became less important.
At least, at the moment, it's not that important.
In this way, the taciturn fifth princess put her hands on her lips, took a deep breath, and made a scream.
The echo gradually stopped. She turned her head and shouted to Cheng Wei: You can try it too.
Cheng Wei shouted loudly as if the fifth princess was like, and the big dark horse squirted a few white breaths in disgust, which made the two of them laugh together.
You hear it all. The fifth princess closed her eyes and suddenly opened it again. No, I seemed to hear the cry of the child.
Cheng Wei listened in the wind direction. Sure enough, a crisp childish voice came without a trace.
The two looked at each other and looked in the direction where the crying sound came in tacit understanding.
When they found that place, the two of them were stunned.
An old tree stretched out next to the cliff, with a five or six-year-old child lying on it, holding the tree trunk tightly and crying.
Save me, sister save me When I saw Cheng Wei and the others coming, the young boy screamed. Judging from his appearance, he obviously couldn't hold on for long.
Cheng Wei's face turned pale. Asked the fifth princess: Isn't this a royal hunting ground? How could there be such a young child?
The fifth princess walked towards the cliff and said: Maybe it was a hunter who came quietly to hunt in a nearby village.
It is precisely because this is the royal hunting ground. Ordinary people are forbidden from coming in, so there is a lot of prey, which will naturally attract some brave people to come in and poach.
Little brother, your adult, the fifth princess asked while approaching the young child.
Cheng Wei was surprised to find that the fifth princess, who was usually taciturn, treated her children very gently.
Under the comfort of the fifth princess, the young child gradually stopped crying and said intermittently: Dad brought me to catch the pheasant, Dad flew down from here, I wanted to find Dad, but I was so scared
It was indeed here to poach. The fifth princess whispered to Cheng Wei and said, "We don't have any pheasants here at all. We just got them from the south to get a good start when hunting. Only in this mountain can we find them."
Cheng Wei listened to the fifth princess explanation, and saw her getting closer and closer to the cliff, he hurriedly grabbed her: Five Princess, what are you going to do
The fifth princess pointed at the child and said naturally: Of course, she wanted to save him.
Cheng Wei glanced at the stretching old tree, and felt frightened. He swallowed and said, "Let's wait for the guards and the others to come over to talk about it. This is too dangerous."
The fifth princess pointed at the young child: Look at that child, she will be unable to catch him soon, so she can't wait for the guards to come. It doesn't matter, I'll climb over carefully and pull him over.
Cheng Wei held the fifth princess' sleeve tightly, and even though he was so scared that he still said with difficulty: I, I'll go.
Meeting the hesitant gaze of the fifth princess, Cheng Wei explained: I am lighter than you.
It is only a small reason to be lighter than the fifth princess. More importantly, Cheng Wei understood that something happened to the fifth princess, and she might be buried with her. Instead of doing so, it would be better to let her try it.
The fifth princess shook her head.
Cheng Wei advised again: Fifth Princess, you are plump than me. What if the old tree cannot support you and the young child, then not only can't save the child, but you will also be in danger, and it will be worth the loss. When I was a child, I often climbed trees and there will be no problems. Just catch the child later.
After all, Cheng Wei persuaded the fifth princess to stop, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his foot and wanted to leave, but the big dark horse bit the hem of his clothes.
OK, Ah Hei, let me go.
The big dark horse shook his head with Cheng Weiyi in his mouth.
Cheng Wei reached out and patted the head of the dark horse: Don’t be willful, I’ll save people.
The big dark horse rubbed Cheng Wei's back with his head.
Cheng Wei felt sad inexplicably, lowered his head and rubbed the big black horse with his cheek, then pulled out the hem of his clothes and walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step.
The young child no longer had the strength to cry anymore, and he opened his eyes wide and looked at Cheng Wei without blinking.
Cheng Wei hugged the old tree and approached him carefully.
With a click, the sound of the wooden branches breaking came, and the young child's body fell down.
Cheng Wei was shocked, subconsciously rushed forward, and reached out and grabbed the child's fingertips.
Little brother, hold my hand tightly and climb over slowly. She holds the old tree tightly with one hand and tries to reach the young children as much as possible with the other.
I can't catch it, sister, I'm going to lose strength
The young child was only five or six years old, with a look of horror on his face. His eyes looked at Cheng Wei were like looking at the only beam of light in the dark world.
Cheng Wei took a deep breath, moved forward again, and finally held the child's hand tightly.
She couldn't help but smile and carefully pulled the child in her direction.
At this time, the crack sound came again. When Cheng Wei reacted, he could only watch the old tree fall to the bottom of the cliff. What she could subconsciously do was to swing it up hard and throw the child towards the fifth princess.
The cry of the young boy, the screams of the fifth princess, and the long neighing of the big dark horse, all disappeared in my ears. Cheng Wei had no time to think about anything and fell down. To be continued.
