MTL - Marrying The Villain-Chapter 16 be alone
Yu Lingxi was woken up by the damp cold wind.
Her whole body ached, she subconsciously moved her body, and immediately heard the sound of gravel falling into the deep ravine beside her.
Yu Lingxi woke up completely, choked her breath, and froze in place, not daring to move.
This is a stone wall in the middle of the cliff, no more than four feet wide and half a foot long, forming a pitted platform protruding outward. There is a semi-curved old pine extending above the head, which is densely blocking the view from above, and I don't know how far it is from the forest on the top of the cliff...
And below, there is a foggy abyss where you can't see the bottom. If you accidentally fall, you will be smashed to pieces.
Turning her head to see, Ning Yin was lying unconscious beside her with her eyes closed.
Yu Lingxi remembered that when she fell off the cliff, it was Ning Yin who caught up with her, and swooped down to grab her as she fell off the cliff from the horse's back.
He didn't say a word, he just held her wrist tightly, and the other one kept climbing and brushing against the jagged and protruding rocks of the cliff, leaving bloodstains all the way.
In the end, he climbed up to the twisted mountain pine to slow down the speed of their fall.
Before his physical strength was exhausted, he threw himself and Yu Lingxi to this barely-sufficient platform.
He was still in a coma, lying face down, half of his legs were hanging outside the stone platform, his messy cloak was rattling by the mountain wind, and he was in danger of falling off at any moment.
Without time to hesitate, Yu Lingxi hurriedly knelt down and leaned over, dragging the thin and heavy boy up with all her strength, and moved into the cliff.
Turning Ning Yin's body over with force, Yu Lingxi discovered that there was a small scar on his brow bone, and the five fingers of his left hand were **** and bloody. They must have been scratched while looking for a climbing object when he fell.
Ever since he met Ning Yin, he has been hurting.
Even with his own intervention in this life, he still keeps getting hurt. He had no one to take care of him in his previous life, and he still doesn't know what kind of life he lived.
The wind whimpered in the air, the dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the pine trees overhead were blown loudly.
Yu Lingxi clearly felt that the hardest part of her heart was softening, melting, and finally overflowing.
Her eyes were reddish, she patted Ning Yin's cheek with her cold fingertips, and said hoarsely, "Hey, wake up..."
As soon as her fingertips touched his cheek, Ning Yin suddenly opened her eyes. The cold and withered eyes like a wild beast were pitch black and could not reflect a single ray of light.
In just a moment, those indifferent eyes of Gujing Wubo gradually focused and fell on Yu Lingxi's pale cheeks.
"Miss." He called out and sat up.
Yu Lingxi saw that his left arm was twisted backwards in an unnatural position, his palm was bruised numerous times and dripping with blood.
Her eyes darkened, and she murmured, "Your hand..."
Ning Yin followed Yu Lingxi's gaze and landed on her limp left arm, and then smiled heartlessly: "It's okay, it's just a broken arm."
Broken hand... that's all?
Yu Lingxi held her breath in her throat and said in a trembling voice, "Little lunatic, do you know what kind of situation you are in?"
Ning Yin remained expressionless, raised her palm to cover her left shoulder joint, and pulled it hard.
He only heard a creepy click, and he pulled back the dislocated joints, as if his body was a detachable puppet.
"you…"
Yu Lingxi was speechless for a while, the indifferent eyes and brows of the young man in front of him, who did not feel pain, looked a bit like his previous life.
But Yu Lingxi didn't feel scared, on the contrary, she felt a bit of inexplicable sadness.
Ning Yin tried to move her left arm, and seeing that it was barely usable, she looked around and said, "Miss, we are trapped in the middle of the cliff, about twenty feet above the ground, unable to shelter from the wind and cold, and have no water or food..."
He looked at Yu Lingxi, "Ordinary people will die in three days."
When he talked about "death", there was no wave or fear in his tone, almost numb.
Yu Lingxi felt another block in her heart, curled up against the jagged stone wall, and said softly "Mmm".
Ning Yin glanced at her.
The girl's frail body was trembling because of the wind and cold, but her eyes were still calm, fragile and beautiful, yet persevering.
With a little interest in his eyes, he leaned against the stone wall side by side with her, bent his legs and asked, "Miss, aren't you afraid?"
Yu Lingxi thought to herself, thanks to you in the previous life, I have seen even the most terrifying scenes, but now this little danger is really nothing.
"Don't be afraid."
She buried her pale lips in the crook of her arms, still thinking about comforting Ning Yin, "Sister Sister and Brother Cen will come to rescue us."
Hearing Xue Cen's name, the gloom in Ning Yin's eyes faded away like ink.
That's a really annoying and redundant guy.
"You shouldn't be stuck here with me."
Just as she was thinking, the girl's soft and hoarse voice came again, and said in a low voice, "Before it rains and the cliff is dry, if you can climb up, you can go. When you find someone, come and rescue me." .”
Although her arm was injured, she knew that Ning Yin's arm strength had always been astonishing, so she might be able to survive with a gamble.
Hearing this, Ning Yin paused slightly in rubbing her fingertips.
This stone platform is only ten feet away from the top of the cliff, with his ability, he can indeed climb up to escape the danger. But if that was the case, everything he did would be meaningless.
Since he gave up the goal of Ning Zizhuo and chose her, he must make his decision maximize his benefits. It is impossible for an excellent beast to let go of its prey at any time.
When she looked up again, Ning Yin put on a clean smile.
He took off the red cotton cloak on his body, raised his clean right hand to dust off the dust, and then gently wrapped the cloak around Yu Lingxi's body.
"I was injured, so I stayed by Miss's side and didn't go anywhere."
He leaned over, Yu Lingxi's surprised expression was reflected in his dark eyes, "As long as you can be by Miss's side, there is nothing to be afraid of."
The wind blows like a knife, blowing away the dust of memory.
In his previous life, when Ning Yin suffered from leg problems, he would also hold her tightly like this, almost suffocating her.
When she couldn't take it anymore, she would struggle a little to adjust her breathing.
But no matter how slow and gentle she made her movements, Ning Yin would wake up with a pale face, and said coldly: "Break your hands and feet or stay still, you choose one."
So Yu Lingxi didn't dare to move.
Ning Yinhui suddenly burst out laughing, his arm almost broke her waist, and said with a pathological madness: "Stay by my king's side, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
The pair of cold and dim eyes in the memory seemed to overlap in front of the eyes and gradually became clear.
No matter what he said was true or false, Yu Lingxi was defeated.
She was burdened with too many regrets and the past, and was no longer able to argue or refute anything, so she silently parted the wide cloak in half and put it on Ning Yin's shoulders.
They curled up in a square inch in the middle of the cliff, like two stray birds, snuggling up to keep warm before the storm came.
The night was like a monster attacking, Yu Lingxi didn't wait for reinforcements, but waited for a heavy rain that made things worse.
The cliff was pitch-black and dead silent, and the icy raindrops hit the body densely, and a soggy and sticky cloak could not keep out the cold at all.
Yu Lingxi felt that her bones were soaked in dampness and cold, and she was drowsy and had a high fever.
Breathing hot, but the body is getting heavier and colder.
She was already unable to distinguish whether it was Ning Yin or someone else sitting next to her, subconsciously looking for a warm place, she arched into his arms.
Yu Lingxi didn't know when the night rain stopped. She was cold, hungry and had a high fever, and soon lost consciousness.
She felt like her body had fallen into an ice cellar, or cut into a frying pan, and her throat was dry and sore.
There was a slender line of dawn on the horizon, and Ning Yin put one hand behind her head and closed her eyes to think about the next step, then she heard the hot girl in her arms slightly part her cherry lips, whispering something in a crying voice.
Putting her ear close to her, she realized that what she was repeating was: "My lord, I'm thirsty..."
Ning Yin's eyelashes moved slightly, and the sharp coldness of the night flashed across her eyes, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What prince?"
When she brought her ears closer, Yu Lingxi closed her teeth tightly, unable to hum.
The phrase "Prince" seemed to be just an illusion brought about by the whimpering wind.
Ning Yin pondered, there are not many royal relatives who have been granted the titles of princes and county kings in the court, and the only one who has an intersection with Yu Lingxi is Ning Zizhuo, the king of Nanyang Xiaojun who met in the hunting ground in the past two days.
Just as she was deducing, she felt her shoulders sinking, Yu Lingxi's head tilted, and she completely lost consciousness.
She was sick in her bones, didn't drink or eat, and was exposed to wind and rain, so she might not be able to survive.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Yin moved her knuckles and slid out the short blade hidden in the wrist guard.
The light from the blade refracted in his smiling eyes, making it terribly cold.
…
In the dense forest at the bottom of the cliff, dozens of people held torches and searched by stepping on the muddy mountain road.
Yu Xinyi's face was covered with mud and her voice was hoarse, but she still couldn't find her sister's whereabouts.
The horses of the two stopped on the edge of the cliff, but the people seemed to evaporate. They searched all over the cliff, but they couldn't find anyone.
My sister is weak, and there is a lot of wind and rain, how can she survive this day and night?
Thinking of this, Yu Xinyi clenched his fists and slammed the big tree beside him, causing the tree trunk to tremble with self-blame in his eyes.
Xue Cen's eyes were also red, and his clear voice became hoarse due to exhaustion all night, "Miss Yu, don't worry, there is no news now, it is the best news."
The attendant of Xue's residence held on to the torch and moved forward, lowering his voice: "Second Young Master, this valley has been searched all over, the cliff is tens of feet high, the second girl Yu must have..."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Cen interrupted in a deep voice: "She will be fine! If anyone talks nonsense again, they will be dealt with immediately!"
He was usually gentle and gentle, but this was the first time he was so angry, the servants of the Xue residence were so frightened that they knelt down and said "here".
The sky was slightly white, the wind stopped, and the accumulated rain dripped from the leaves in the forest and landed on Xue Cen's forehead.
He raised his hand to catch the icy coldness, and his gaze followed the direction of the rain upwards, and then upwards, fixed on the top of the rainy and foggy cliff.
Yu Xinyi followed his line of sight, and immediately understood, a bright color flashed across his eyes: "There is still one place that I haven't found."
On the cliff, on the stone platform.
Yu Lingxi was thirsty and hungry, her tongue was dry from the fever, and she vaguely felt a warmth slowly moistening her lips.
She wanted to open her mouth to catch the "nectar", but her trembling jaws were closed tightly like clam shells, and she couldn't open them anyhow.
The people around him seemed to be aware of this problem, and the warm rain went away temporarily.
Not a moment later, the shadow bent down again, something soft and cool stuck to her dry and trembling lips, and then a slippery heat pried open her teeth, pouring the warm liquid with a strong rusty smell into her mouth.
The liquid was really bad, Yu Lingxi frowned subconsciously, trying to move, but couldn't even lift a finger.
The eyelashes trembled and opened a slit, the morning light was dim, and Ning Yin's infinitely magnified handsome face could be seen in the blurred vision.
His lips were stained redder than the cloak, and he poured something in mouthful to fill her burning stomach.
The last thing Yu Lingxi remembered was his dark eyes without a trace of lust.
…
When she woke up again, Yu Lingxi was already lying on the soft bed.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar tent of my boudoir, the candlelight on the table was dim, and there was a deep night outside the window.
As soon as she sat up, she saw Hu Tao smash the cup in her hand with joy, and ran out the door happily: "General, Ma'am! Major General and Miss! Miss, she is awake!"
Yu Lingxi stood up with her drowsy head pressed, pursed her lips, and immediately tasted what was left on her tongue, an inexplicable fishy sweetness.
Like...the smell of blood.
"Sui Sui!"
Yu Lingxi had never seen A Niang in such a hurry, she almost staggered and rushed to her couch, took her hand and asked, "My son, you finally woke up!"
"Mom, I'm fine."
Yu Lingxi's head is still not very clear, she subconsciously smiled cutely, and comforted, "It's just a small accident, don't cry."
"How dare you say it was just a 'little accident'? You have been in a coma for a day and a night!"
Yu Xinyi's eyes were red as if she hadn't slept for three days, and she sat in front of the couch and hugged her sister tightly, "Stinky girl, you scared me to death, do you know that!"
"I'm fine, thanks to…"
Looking around, Yu Lingxi asked, "Where is the boy who saved me?"
Yu Xinyi's complexion paused slightly.
She let go of Yu Lingxi, coughed unnaturally, "Xue Cen was the one who found you who was trapped in the middle of the cliff first, and he didn't find any teenagers."
"how come?"
Yu Lingxi clearly remembered how Ning Yin jumped off the cliff and caught her, how she shielded her from the wind and rain on the cliff, and even...
She pursed her lips and looked at Yu Xinyi suspiciously: "Sister, tell the truth, what's going on."
Yu Xinyi is upright by nature and is not good at lying. Seeing his younger sister doubting and questioning, he stomped his foot: "Oh, Yu Huanchen, you explain it!"
The younger sister had already reached the age of Ji, so it was inconvenient for Yu Huanchen to enter the inner room of the bedroom, so he stood behind the screen.
After a long silence, he replied: "Sui Sui, you are a girl, and you have been with a slave for a day and a night. If it spreads, it will be bad for you."
"So, you picked Xue Erlang, a man with a good reputation and a high family background, to bury this matter for me?"
Yu Lingxi choked for breath, lifted the quilt and got on the bed, "Where is he?"
"Sui Sui, you are still sick..."
"Where is the boy who saved me?"
There was a silence.
After all, Mrs. Yu couldn't bear it, so she gave her son a wink.
Only then did Yu Huanchen sigh: "It stands to reason that if a slave ruins the master's reputation, the loss can be stopped only by his complete disappearance from the world. But he saved you after all, so I will reward you with a lot of money and send him out politely." house..."
Before the words were finished, Yu Lingxi rushed out of the room.
