Shen Tianshu pushed Xu Yihao away and pulled Mingyu, who was still in shock, out of the carriage.
"Girl, sir, will you be okay?" Mingyu didn't know what Shen Tianshu had done, and thought she had killed Xu Yihao with the gold hairpin. She was so frightened that she trembled and tried her best to protect her, " Don’t be afraid, girl, if anything happens, just blame it on this slave..."
"Don't worry, you won't die." Hearing this, the corners of Shen Tianshu's lips curved up with a rare hint of warmth.
"That's great, I wish I couldn't die." Mingyu let out a long sigh of relief.
Shen Tianshu turned to look at the carriage, and could vaguely see Xu Yihao's figure through the ajar door.
Is it okay if I can’t die?
Not necessarily.
For a playboy like Xu Yihao, when he wakes up, he may feel that life is worse than death!
The warmth from the corners of Shen Tianshu's lips disappeared and turned into a sneer.
In order to make it easier for Xu Yihao to act, Mrs. Shen moved everyone away, and it was just convenient for the two people to escape.
Shen Tianshu quickly analyzed the terrain based on his memory.
Mr. Xu led his men to guard the place outside the front. Going up the mountain would definitely be impossible.
If you go down the winding mountain road, once the opponent notices you, you can catch up quickly.
She finally turned her gaze to the cliff on the roadside and turned to ask Mingyu: "Do you want to stay or come with me?"
"Girl, of course I will follow you!" Mingyu was startled, "Don't leave me alone!"
"If you follow me, you'll have to endure hardship."
"My slave is not afraid of hardship!"
"Okay." Shen Tianshu pointed to the cliff on the roadside, "We have to climb down from here first."
"Climb, climb down?" Mingyu looked down. He didn't know how high the dark ground below was.
But Shen Tianshu had already taken action. She tore off the brocade quilt on the car, tore it into wide strips, and connected them one by one to form a long rope.
She pulled hard with her arms a few times and found that it was still strong. She tied one end around Mingyu's waist, looped the other end around a big tree, and then tied it in her hands.
"You go down first!" Shen Tianshu ignored Mingyu's objection and pushed her to the edge of the cliff first, coaxing, "Go and explore the path for me first. Once you get down there, if it's safe, you can find a big tree. Tie the rope tight and give me the signal by tugging on the rope three times."
There were too many things he experienced tonight, and Mingyu didn't have any extra energy to think, so he was easily persuaded and started to climb down stumblingly.
Halfway up the climb, Mingyu realized that every time he lost his grip or stepped on the air, he would be stabilized by the long rope around his waist.
Only then did she realize that Shen Tianshu was not asking her to find a way out. He was clearly giving her a safer way.
But she couldn't go up or down at this time, so she had no other choice but to continue climbing down with tears in her eyes.
Shen Tianshu wrapped the rope around his waist, then crossed it around his hands, held on tightly, and lowered it bit by bit, silently calculating the length of the rope in his mind.
The originally tight rope suddenly loosened, and not long after, there were three shakings below.
Shen Tianshu pulled the rope and found that it was indeed secure. He then wrapped the rope around the big tree, tied the other end around his waist, and began to climb down the cliff.
She used to follow her grandfather Jiang Sui all over the world, going up mountains and down rivers in search of rare medicinal materials, and did a lot of climbing on cliffs.
However, the mountain here is steep and the ground is covered with snow. It is impossible to see where to stay, so we can only explore it bit by bit.
Climbing a cliff in the dark is already very dangerous, and my physical condition is not very good. Now I happen to be ill, and my hands and feet are sore and weak. It is even more difficult to move. I almost stepped on the air and rolled down the mountain several times.
But there was an eyeing stepmother and a thief on the cliff, and she wanted to return to the Jiang family, and there was no way out.
Shen Tianshu tried his best to grab all the branches and weeds that could provide support, and dug his fingers into the stone cracks on the cliff, carefully testing the place to stay.
The fingertips gradually became bloody and bloody, leaving little red spots on the snow...
Fortunately, God favored her. Although she suffered minor injuries, she finally climbed down the cliff smoothly.
Mingyu waited in the dark for a long time. When he heard a plop, he immediately rushed towards him crying and asked in a low voice: "Girl, are you okay? Are you injured?"
"It's okay." Shen Tianshu tried her best to calm down her breathing. She knew that now was not the time to rest, but her hands and feet were too tired to obey, so she could only whisper to Mingyu, "Go and rip off the rope and bury it in the snow. Find it." Bury it in a remote place so that no one can find it. I, I will rest for a while and then we can leave."
After Mingyu cleaned up all traces, Shen Tianshu finally took a breather.
She was afraid that Mrs. Xu would find out something was wrong and catch up, so she didn't dare to walk carelessly along the mountain road. She pulled Mingyu into the woods beside the road, and walked down the mountain through the snow, one foot deep and the other shallow.
When the two of them encountered a fork in the road, they messed up the traces and hurriedly turned, hoping to avoid the Shen family's subsequent search as much as possible.
The injured finger still felt a little bit of pain at first, but was soon frozen to the point of losing consciousness.
The quilted embroidered shoes cannot keep out the cold, and the soft soles are usually worn on carpets or, at worst, flat bluestones, so they are not suitable for walking on mountain roads.
The soles of Shen Tianshu's feet were so painful that they soon became numb from the cold, and his physical strength was being consumed rapidly.
Her legs were so heavy that it felt like someone was grabbing her in the snow and trying to pull her down. It took all her strength to lift her up, and then she could barely take a small step forward.
The master and servant supported each other from midnight until dawn. They were tired and sleepy, and finally reached a small town at the foot of the mountain, where they saw houses and smoke from cooking stoves.
Only then did Mingyu see the injury on Shen Tianshu's hand. Her eyes were red with anxiety and she was anxious to find a doctor.
But Shen Tianshu stopped her, found a place with leeward, took out the peach blossom powder and rouge in his arms, mixed it with snow water, and quickly applied it with his fingertips, and soon drew a line on his left eye and left face. Large red birthmark.
She used to do this a lot when she went out by herself, and she was very skillful in doing it, and she quickly made up the disguise.
Mingyu looked stunned and didn't know what to say.
After Shen Tianshu disguised himself, he removed a piece of gauze from the curtain hat to cover most of his face, and whispered: "Wait for me here, don't wander around."
"Girl, you..." Mingyu moved uneasily
But Shen Tianshu didn't give her a chance to refuse and walked into the town alone.
The gauze could not block the frightening red birthmark on her face, and many people walking towards her would subconsciously avoid her when they saw her.
Fortunately, the town was not big, so Shen Tianshu quickly found a tailor shop.
She first changed her clothes, bought another one for Mingyu, and simply combed her hair like a married woman. When she was paying, she asked: "Madam, how far is it from Yongzhou Prefecture? "
"Young lady, are you going to Yongzhou Mansion? That's still far away!" Seeing that Shen Tianshu was happy to pay, the host's lady was enthusiastic, "If we usually go over the mountains, hiring a donkey cart and walking for two days is about the same. We’re here. But with the heavy snow this year, the mountain road is difficult to travel. If you want to go to Yongzhou Prefecture, you have to take the official road. I’m afraid it will take five or six days to get there.”
"Thank you, madam, for your advice." Shen Tianshu felt relieved after hearing this.
Previously on the mountain, in order to facilitate Xu Yihao's work, Mrs. Shen only brought the coachman and not the servants. Even if she wanted to send someone to chase her, she had to return home first before making arrangements.
Shen Tianshu relied on his determination to return to the Jiang family to support him all the way, but in fact, his body was already overwhelmed.
Although she was anxious to get on the road, as a doctor, she understood how bad her condition was at this time, and she had to make full use of this time difference and find a place to rest.
