Chapter 91 Frightened Horse
Chapter 91 Frightened Horse
Originally he thought that the bastard would surely die, but now there was still a glimmer of hope, Dou Qian dared not complain.
"I understand. Thank you, young lady. I will go and arrange the trip to Sanqing Mountain first, and then I will send the divination fee to Xie's house later."
Xie Lan nodded indifferently. Dou Qian invited her here, and although she helped him save his legitimate son, she did not save Dou Chang'an. He couldn't help but feel resentful.
It's human nature, Xie Lan has long since become indifferent to it.
Not to mention that she can't save him, even if she could, she wouldn't do anything.
She only has one year left to live, which is too precious to waste on irrelevant people.
She saved Dou Wenjing and gained his merit, so this trip was not a loss.
Gong saw Dou Qian carrying Dou Chang'an away, and Sun was also helped away by the maids. She looked at them coldly for a while, then turned around and forced a smile, "Thank you, young lady, for saving my son. If you need anything in the future, just come to me, I will never refuse."
Thank you for your hard work today. I have asked the kitchen to prepare a meal. Please come back to the courtyard with me to eat. I will then arrange a carriage to take you back."
Xie Lan waved her hand, "No need, your husband paid the divination fee, and I was responsible for saving people. Now that your son has woken up, I have lived up to your trust, and it's time to go back."
Xie Lan left as soon as he said he would, and turned around and left with the hammer.
Seeing that it was still early, Xie Lan did not go back home directly.
Since returning to the Xie Mansion, she has only had Aunt Zhang and Tiechui by her side. There are few people in her courtyard, and there are few things to do, so Aunt Zhang doesn't have much to take care of.
She was a person who could not sit still and was always talking about making clothes, shoes and socks for Xie Lan.
In fact, Xie Lan had no shortage of clothes, but she couldn't stand Nanny Zhang's constant nagging.
"Tiechui, go to Shuyuzhai funeral shop first." Xie Lan raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the carriage, instructing Tiechui.
She planned to buy some yellow paper and cinnabar first, and then go to the silk shop to buy some cloth and needles and thread to bring back, so that Nanny Zhang wouldn't nag her so much that her ears would get calluses.
"Okay, this place is still far from Shuyuzhai, so go get some sleep first. You've been busy lately, don't ruin your health."
"Okay, I'll take a nap first, and you can call me when we get there." Xie Lan responded lazily, stretched, lay down and fell asleep.
She used to love eating, drinking and having fun. She would never sit if she could lie down, and would never stand if she could sit.
Although he has changed his lazy nature in the last two years and has been digging melons everywhere to exchange merit for prolonging his life, he still enjoys life while he can.
However, after entering the capital, I became busier and busier every day.
Tiechui is right. You can't ruin your body by working yourself to death. She is a good master who listens to advice.
Xie Lan slept peacefully and sweetly.
The master was not in a hurry, and Tiechui, the maid, had nothing to do. She drove the carriage slowly along the way.
Half an hour later, we left the busy street and walked for another quarter of an hour, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.
Tiechui looked around and his eyes lit up when he saw the Nine-Arch Bridge not far away.
She remembered that if she crossed the bridge and walked two more blocks, she would reach Shuyuzhai.
With a pull of the reins, the carriage quickly reached the Nine-Arch Bridge.
There were people walking in groups of two or three on the bridge, chatting as they walked.
There were not many carriages, but from a distance and close up, there were at least four or five.
Tiechui glanced at the scenery around him and concentrated on driving the car.
Just as the carriage was moving steadily to the middle of the bridge, panicked shouts suddenly came from the other end of the bridge.
"The horse is startled, get out of the way."
Tiechui looked up and saw a frightened horse charging towards him. The carriage behind was also twisting and turning, and he seemed to hear screams coming from the carriage.
The sudden change caused chaos on the bridge.
The driver of the carriage shouted at pedestrians to get out of the way while pulling on the reins hard to make the frightened horse stop.
But even if he tried his best, he couldn't stop Crazy Horse.
As the frightened horse got closer, the pedestrians on the bridge became more and more terrified, and screams and curses rang out.
A woman was so frightened that she tripped over her left foot and fell onto the bridge. She became so terrified that she couldn't even get up.
Tiechui's heart was lifted up, and he quickly pulled the reins to stop the carriage, "Girl, there is a frightened horse, are you awake?"
"Awake." Xie Lan woke up from his dream, quickly got up, and raised his hand to lift the car curtain.
I happened to see the carriage on the opposite side rushing towards the fallen woman, and my heart tightened, "Go and save her."
Tiechui responded and quickly used his Qinggong to rush towards the woman opposite and first pulled her away.
He turned around and jumped towards the carriage again, wanting to help the driver to control the frightened horse. This nine-hole bridge was not small. Under normal circumstances, it could accommodate three carriages side by side, which was more than enough.
But a frightened horse will only charge forward at high speed.
If it is not stopped, the carriages and pedestrians on the bridge will be in trouble.
Tiechui rushed over and just as he grabbed the reins of the frightened horse, he heard another terrified scream behind him.
"Oh no, the horse is frightened again."
Xie Lan's heart skipped a beat. What bad luck had she gotten into today? Her carriage was attacked by frightened horses from both sides.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer from behind the carriage, Xie Lan's expression changed for the first time.
The carriage is large and can be hit easily.
Xie Lan prepared to get off the carriage to hide.
Although she doesn't know martial arts, she is quite agile and it shouldn't be difficult for her to avoid the frightened horse.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Xie Lan immediately walked out of the carriage.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the shaft of the carriage, there was a sudden loud bang from the back of the carriage.
Xie Lan had no time to react before he was knocked flying, across the bridge and falling headfirst under the bridge.
It sounds long, but in fact everything happened in just a moment.
Tiechui, who was controlling the frightened horse, heard the noise and turned back subconsciously. His pupils suddenly contracted, "Girl..."
Xie Lan heard Tiechui's shouting, but she couldn't care less at the moment.
She was busy at the critical moment of life and death.
I was too busy lamenting the death of someone in my previous life to have spent all my money.
I didn't expect that I would die in this life, and I didn't even have the chance to spend the money I earned with so much difficulty.
She was too busy regretting. If she had known she would not live past her 15th birthday, why would she have bothered to harvest the melons? She should have enjoyed herself while she could.
The ancestor actually lied to her, saying that as long as she collected the melons well and exchanged them for merits, she could live to be a hundred years old.
She really wanted to pull the old man's soul out and give him a good beating.
Xie Lan was still busy sighing and lamenting. If she had known that she would die so soon, she should have gone to Nanfeng Pavilion to see her as soon as she arrived in Beijing.
In her two lifetimes combined, she has never touched eight-pack abs and mermaid lines with her own hands. It's such a loss.
Tiechui watched his girl in danger and left his frightened horse to go back and save her.
At this moment, a gust of wind came from behind, passed over her head, and flew towards Xie Lan.
In the brief moment that Xie Lan fell, many random thoughts flashed through his mind.
Seeing herself falling headfirst, she closed her eyes resignedly.
But I couldn't help cursing in my heart.
Could it be that she was haunted by some unlucky ghost? There was a big rock underneath the place where she fell.
If he falls from such a height, head first, he will be crippled if not dead.
Rather than being smashed into a fool, she might as well die. Maybe God would have mercy on her and let her travel through time again.
Xie Lan was ready to die.
Unexpectedly, her ankle suddenly tightened and her falling posture stopped abruptly.
Xie Lan opened his eyes in confusion and found himself hanging upside down in the air, swinging like a swing...
