C10 (1/2)

The guards split up and searched, but only found Gu Wan. Gu Heng pulled Gu Wan, whose legs were cramping up, and said sternly: ”It's not like you don't know water, why did you blindly support him! ”Where's the beauty?”

Second brother, help Jingwan! I … I can't find her anymore! Wuu, she can't let anything happen to me!

Gu Heng took off his clothes and threw it at Gu Wan, then followed suit.

Furthermore, Xie Jingxi was not feeling very well right now. She had already expended all her energy to save Fang Wanqing, and now that she was washed by the warm and cold water, her entire body was cramping up, she did not struggle, but endured the pain as the water washed her away. When the water became calm again, she floated up to the surface, and looked around without knowing when it would come.

She could not help but sigh in her heart, thinking that besides waiting for people to come rescue her, she could only kill herself this time. She did not know if anyone would come looking for her, but she did not know that in that water area just now, normal boats would not be able to cross, much less humans.

When people were in a predicament, they couldn't help but feel a little lonely. She thought about how in her two lifetimes, there was no one she could truly rely on, and she could not help but feel desolate. But this thought only lasted for a moment, and then she once again dove into the water, swimming up the mountain.

After swimming for who knows how long, Xie Jingxi lost all energy in her body. She fell flat on the surface of the water and let the water carry her away. When Gu Yun saw her, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that his girl should not be so weak, but seeing that although she was immersed in the water, her legs kept on moving, and after a while, she finally heaved a sigh of relief, and quietly went into the water, quietly approaching her.

Xie Jingxi was supported by the water for a while, she had gathered some energy and was about to swim back to the shore, but she suddenly felt the water around her body fluctuating, and before she could react, she was surrounded by a pair of big hands. Just as Xie Jingxi was about to struggle, he heard a voice sound beside her ear: ”Don't move, let's go ashore first.”

Xie Jingxi could clearly hear the person's voice, it was actually Gu Yun! Xie Jingxi was extremely suspicious, thinking why would he come to save her. The key thing was, wasn't he sick, to actually know how to drink water?

As if he knew what she was thinking in her heart, Gu Yun said half-jokingly, ”You don't have to be surprised, if I were to just give up, I won't blame you.”

Xie Jingxi, ”...”

”Do you still have the strength?” Gu Yun asked again.

After hearing what she said just now, Xie Jingxi did not dare to let him carry her, ”I'm fine by myself.” The meaning behind her words was that she should just take care of herself.

Gu Yun did not force him, but even though he let go, he still stood to the side to protect them. With an old, weak and handicapped person like Gu Yun by his side, Xie Jingxi felt that he had expended more energy than he could chew, and in just one breath, he swam to the shore, and did not make Gu Yun expend any more energy.

When she reached the shore, Xie Jingxi was already paralyzed on the ground. She didn't have any strength left at all, but Gu Yun coughed fiercely, as Xie Jingxi realized that the hand he was holding on to earlier was ice-cold without a trace of warmth.

Xie Jingxi abruptly sat up, ”Young Master Gu, how are you?”

Gu Yun coughed and waved his hands, ”Don't worry, you're in water, don't lie down. You'll catch cold.”

How could Xie Jingxi still be interested in lying down? Just as she was about to get up and find some firewood, Gu Yun stopped her, ”When I came over earlier, I conveniently picked up some clean clothes that I left behind. Put them on first.”

As expected, Gu Yun very quickly found a place to start the fire, Xie Jingxi thought that this person was very meticulous, ”Did you know that I would swim here from the beginning?”

”That's not difficult. When the water flows to the four surrounding mountains, it's naturally not as fast. It's very easy to find this place if I search along the mountain. But, it's not easy to find those people who have come with the water.”

Xie Jingxi thought about it carefully, she knew that what he said was true, but even if she knew, she did not think that anyone would think of this.

”The people sent by the King Jin probably won't be here for long. When we go back along the mountain path, we'll probably meet them.”

Gu Yun was right, indeed, not long after they left, the King Jin people came looking for him. When they returned to the Villa in King Jin, Gu Wan was the first to rush over, ”Jingwan, you scared me to death, are you alright!”

Prince Jin's Wife finally heaved a sigh of relief, ”Hurry up and bring the ginger soup over. As for Imperial Physician, didn't you see how Young Master Gu fell into the water?!”

The servants were working busily, causing Xie Jingxi to remember sick Yangzi, who was just about to go and see how he was doing, when he heard someone say that he had fainted. King Jin directly brought him to the guest room, and all the Imperial Physician s surrounded him, not daring to slight him.

Gu Heng and the rest were forced back by the water flow and did not continue searching. When they saw that Xie Jingxi had returned safely, they could not help but step forward, ”Is Third Miss alright?”

Xie Jingxi did not look at his overly caring eyes, ”I'm fine, it's just that Young Master Gu fell into my hands, I'll still take a look and thank you for me.”
