Chapter 197 How could it be you?
Ning Miao woke up slowly, and what he saw was the roof of the thatched hut, his mind in a fuss.
"Xiao Miao is awake, how do you feel?" Yikong's face came into sight.
Ning Miao turned and looked at him.
Next to him was her uncle Wu Ya, and both of them looked at her with concern.
Her vision gradually became clearer, and her consciousness slowly returned. She curved her lips and said, "I feel good. Thank you, Uncle Master, Master."
After saying that, she sat up, and Yikong quickly helped her up: "Slow down."
"I'm fine." Ning Miao said with a smile.
Glancing around the hut and its surroundings, she asked, "Has anyone been here?"
"No!" Yikong replied instinctively. At the end, he looked at Wuya again and gave him a look.
Wu Ya understood and agreed, "Who else would come to this place deep in the mountains and forests except me?"
Ning Miao looked at the two of them and nodded.
It seemed that she was dreaming.
She dreamed that Yan Mobai came.
"You are all sweaty and this place is ventilated. Be careful not to catch a cold. Go back to your room and change your clothes quickly." Wu Ya warned.
"Okay." Ning Miao got off the bed and put on his shoes.
When she pulled out her shoe heels, she found blood on the ground beside the couch. She narrowed her eyes and looked up: "Who of you is injured?"
Yikong was pouring out the water in the copper basin and Wuya was packing his needle bag.
"No one was hurt, why are you asking?"
"Whose blood is this then?"
Ning Miao pinched the bloodstain on the ground with his fingers. It was not dry yet, which meant it had been dripping for a while.
They both turned back.
Seeing her actions, Yikong's eyes flickered and he said, "Oh, I got angry and had a nosebleed."
"Are you okay?" Ning Miao looked at him.
"It's okay. It's normal to have a nosebleed due to inflammation." Yikong said with a smile.
Ning Miao nodded: "I'm glad you're okay."
-
Just like when they came, Lan Ying and Yan Mobai rode on the same horse and went down the mountain.
"Sir, are we just going back like this and never coming back again?" Lan Ying asked.
Yan Mobai said "hmm".
If she avoids him or dislikes him, he will continue to harass her and will only force her to leave.
Moreover, if he kept running towards Zixia Mountain, it would bring danger to her.
This place is a secluded place, and she feels safe living here. She also has Master Yikong by her side, and they can take care of each other.
If he often comes here, he will inevitably attract attention.
If she were alone, it wouldn't matter, since she was free anyway, but she was pregnant now.
If Emperor Zhaoqing knew about this, she would be deceiving the emperor.
So, let's wait until she gives birth to the baby.
What we need to ensure now is that mother and child are safe.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, Lan Ying stopped the horse, got off, and handed the reins to Yan Mobai.
"Sir, I will go get the horse."
When we came, the other horse was hidden in the dense forest nearby.
"Yeah." Yan Mobai took the reins, controlled the horse, and waited there.
After a while, Lan Ying came back in a hurry.
"Sir, the horse is gone!"
Yan Mobai was a little surprised.
"I clearly tied it very tightly. Just now, I saw no reins left on the tree, which means the horse didn't break the reins. There were no signs of struggle on the tree either, so someone must have untied the reins and took them away." Lan Ying said.
Hearing this, Yan Mobai was slightly shocked.
It’s not that I care about the horse being stolen, but that someone else has come.
"Are you in the wrong place?" he asked.
"No, it's right here," Lan Ying pointed at the bloodstain on the ground, "This is where the master cut himself and poured the chicken blood onto his clothes."
Yan Mobai: "......"
Without saying anything, he turned his head to look at the dense forest beside him.
I did stop here when I came here.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a strange current in the air. His ears moved and he felt something coming through the air, straight towards him.
His pupils narrowed and he immediately leaned forward on the horse's back, and the thing narrowly flew over his head.
With a "bang", it hit the branch of a big tree nearby, fell down, and landed in the grass by the roadside.
Both the master and the servant thought it was a hidden weapon. They were on full alert and immediately looked into the bushes.
Seeing the porcelain that had been broken into two pieces, both of them narrowed their eyes.
Lan Ying was shocked: "It's the small porcelain bottle of chicken blood that the adults threw away earlier!"
Yan Mobai was also surprised and turned to look in the direction where the porcelain bottle came from.
Nothing was found.
"Who?" He lowered his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
No response.
Yan Mobai tightened his breathing slightly.
Their horse was tied here and disappeared, and the porcelain bottle he had thrown away here before was thrown back by someone.
He had the feeling that the other party was targeting him specifically.
Not only did they come for him, but they also knew his whereabouts very well. They knew that they hid the horses here and that he was the one who threw the porcelain bottle.
So, the other party must have been following him since they went up the mountain.
If that's the case, then doesn't it mean... He was shocked.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he asked sternly, "Who is playing tricks here?"
Still no response.
Yan Mobai pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
He ordered Lan Ying: "Never mind, get on the horse and go down the mountain."
The other party was obviously trying to tease him, and the more anxiously he asked, the less likely the other party would show up.
Pretend not to care and ignore it directly. You never know what the other party may do next.
Lan Ying jumped onto the horse, sat in front of him, clamped his legs against the horse's belly, and rode away.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard from behind them.
The master and servant turned around at the same time.
Then they saw a woman with picturesque features, her hair and clothes fluttering, riding on a horse. She was heading towards them, but when she saw the two of them turning around, she immediately reined in her horse, then stopped, looking at them with interest.
It was Ning Miao!
The horse she was riding was the one they had hidden in the dense forest!
Both the master and the servant were very surprised.
Lan Ying even forgot to pull the reins.
It was Yan Mobai who reacted, turned around and reached out to stop the horse.
The horse neighed and raised its front hooves high, almost throwing the master and servant off its back.
Yan Mobai took advantage of the situation and flew off the horse and landed on the ground.
The pain in his leg made his pupils shrink, but he didn't care at all. He looked at the woman riding a horse not far away with surprise.
"How could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Ning Miao asked back.
"When we left, you were still expelling the poison."
Why so fast?
He even got ahead of them and took away the horse, and picked up the porcelain bottle he threw.
"I have a shortcut." Ning Miao said.
Normally, one has to take a winding route to go up and down the mountain, but she has been climbing and rolling on this mountain since she was a child and has developed various shortcuts.
Yan Mobai nodded.
No wonder.
He curled his lips and said, "I thought Master Yikong wouldn't tell you that we've been here."
Ning Miao said nothing.
Her master certainly didn't tell her.
She guessed it herself.
Her master said that the blood on the side of the low couch in the straw hut was her own nosebleed. She didn't suspect anything at first, but when she returned to her residence, she found a medicine box for bandaging on the table in the main room.
Why do we need to bandage a nosebleed?
