The more Su Yining thought about it, the angrier she became, and she did not take the initiative to provoke Zhao Linger at night.
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the 16th day of the first lunar month. A few days ago, Zhou You and the others had made an appointment to watch the lanterns together in the evening.
Zhou You said: "I have long heard that a group of beauties from the Western Regions have come to Quchifang this year. They will also perform on the boat tonight. Let's go and watch them early to see what kind of performances they perform."
Wang Ruoxi knew that her father and mother would also take a boat to meet the villagers tonight, so she was also looking forward to it.
She dressed up early and took Li Heng to the Su Mansion to find Zhao Ling'er.
Originally, tonight was the night Su Yi Ning was most looking forward to, but now he felt an indescribable sadness.
He deliberately didn't take the initiative to find Zhao Ling'er last night, but Zhao Ling'er didn't take the initiative to come to him either. He had obviously shown it, but she still couldn't see that she was unhappy?
Zhao Ling'er also dressed up early, and when Wang Ruoxi and others arrived, she took Su Yining to the river.
Su Yining deliberately went to find Li Heng without holding her hand, leaving Zhao Linger behind.
The further you walk towards the Yunzhou River, the more people there become.
The road began to become more and more crowded, and everyone wanted to go to the riverside to see the dancers up close.
Zhou You also excitedly pulled a few of them forward.
Zhao Ling'er couldn't keep up with them and gradually distanced herself from them.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard an oops. The person in front was squeezed into the river by the people behind, and the people behind also fell to the ground. The people behind didn't know what was happening in front, so they kept pushing forward.
So more people fell into the river.
Zhao Ling'er didn't want to move forward at first, but the people behind squeezed her and pushed her forward. Zhao Ling'er stumbled and fell to the ground.
The people behind stepped on her hands, her arms, her legs, and her back, and moved forward one by one.
Zhao Ling'er quickly covered her head with her hands and arched her body to make a small space for herself.
As soon as Su Yining saw someone falling into the water, she quickly turned around and grabbed Ling'er's hand, but where was Zhao Ling'er's shadow?
The crowd was coming from behind. He turned around, went against the crowd, used all his strength to push himself open a gap, and bent down to find Zhao Ling'er.
When the governor saw someone falling into the river, he quickly ordered all performances to stop, and ordered the boaters to go into the river to rescue the people. At the same time, he shouted from the boat: "Don't panic, everyone! Don't move! Stay where you are!"
Wang Ruoxi also stood on the shore and shouted loudly: "Don't move, everyone, don't move, don't push forward!"
The people in front who had not fallen into the water were holding on to the stone railing and shouting loudly: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, someone has fallen into the water!"
Soldiers patrolling the streets rushed over when they heard someone fell into the water, yelling at the people behind them to step back and stop walking forward.
The panicked crowd finally gradually regained order.
Zhao Ling'er has lost consciousness.
Su Yi Ning looked around through the crowded crowd, and finally saw Zhao Ling'er among the people lying on their stomachs.
"Linger! Zhao Linger!" Su Yining shouted loudly, stepping over the person lying on the ground and walking towards her.
Zhou You and the others quickly carried Zhao Ling'er to the road.
"Yining, I...my back hurts so much," Zhao Ling'er said weakly.
Su Yi Ning quickly picked her up: "Where's the doctor? I want to find the doctor!"
Zhou You quickly said: "Don't worry! Let's go by carriage."
Su Yi Ning hugged Zhao Ling'er and got into the carriage: "Go quickly! Go quickly! Find the doctor quickly!"
The doctor examined Zhao Ling'er and said: "This girl has multiple fractures all over her body and needs to stay at home to recover for at least three months. I will bandage her and prescribe some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. You go home and take good care of her."
"Zhao Linger." Su Yining looked at her.
He regrets it very much now. How could he not hold her back just because of a trivial matter?
If he had held her and she had been with them, she would not have been alone, nor would she have been so seriously injured.
"Okay, now is not the time to be pretentious, take her back quickly!" Zhou You said.
Su Yining picked up Zhao Linger and gently placed her on the bed.
"Azhen, move my bedding to the study!"
When Mrs. Su heard that Zhao Ling'er was injured, she rushed over from the backyard. Seeing that Zhao Ling'er was wrapped in white cloth, she asked in surprise: "What's going on? Why is the injury so serious?"
Su Yi Ning was speechless and could only blame herself secretly in her heart.
"Madam, there are too many people visiting the Yunzhou River. The people behind pushed the people in front into the river, and many people were injured."
"What? Someone fell into the river? Where is the old man? Is the old man okay?"
Mrs. Su hurried back to the backyard.
But Master Su went to see the governor this afternoon.
"Quickly! Go to Yunzhou River to find the master and see how he is doing." Mrs. Su hurriedly ordered her servants.
When the governor saw someone falling into the river, he quickly asked the boatman to rescue the person. The situation was urgent, but he couldn't swim, so he could only stand on the boat and watch the crowds, stampedes and falling into the water on the shore.
Master Su quickly picked up the boat pole and turned the boat around.
Back on the shore, the governor looked at the injured people sadly and ordered his men to carry them to the hospital quickly and find a doctor to treat them. He also sent people to find officials from other places and go down to the river to fish them out.
Master Su stood on the road, calling on those who could swim to quickly go down to the river to fish for people, and those who couldn't swim to stay away from the river bank and not come this way.
It was past midnight and Master Su had not returned yet. Mrs. Su felt uneasy and didn't know what the situation was like.
"Ani, prepare the sedan, I'm going to the river to take a look."
Ani glanced at Mrs. Su worriedly, wanting to advise her not to go so late... But she didn't say anything. She knew that the master and his wife had a deep relationship, and she was also very worried about Master Su's situation.
Mrs. Su came to the river and saw Master Su directing his men to go down to the river to rescue people.
She walked up to him quietly and asked, "How is the situation?"
Master Su stared at the people going into the river, shook his head, and sighed: "No way, our good days are probably coming to an end."
Mrs. Su was shocked after hearing this. She looked back at the corpses lying on the ground and took a deep breath.
Numbly, she returned to Su Mansion, where Mu Yunqing was waiting for her in the living room.
"mother."
Mrs. Su seemed to have not heard anything. She looked ahead blankly and said, "This time for our Su family..." She sighed again and said, "This time, I'm afraid we will be in big trouble."
"Mom, don't worry, the governor is here too. Yixiang has also gone. No matter what happens, our family will fight together and we will get through it. It's hard to say how things will turn out."
Mrs. Su turned back to look at Mu Yunqing, took her hand and said, "Good boy, it's too late, it's too cold. You should go back to your room and rest. I'll wait here for the master to come back."
