Dream Breaks One Day - C138
Although the situation was dangerous, one could tell with a glance that the people on the boat were fine. The most dangerous person right now was only Du Yueyao, who was still on the third floor.
Even if Du Yueyao was able to maintain her composure during normal times, at this moment, she was still a little flustered. She still had to comfort Xiao Cui’er. He knew that she heard a shout that sounded somewhat familiar.
That voice was very young and pleasant to hear, but it also sounded very anxious at this time. Du Yueyao could not help but peek outside. It was just as she had expected.
The owner of the voice was Yin Ci …
That day, the heavy rain had made him lie on the bed for a few days. After all, he was young and strong, and his body had recovered quite quickly. Just as he was able to walk around, he had thought to come to the river bank to take a look.
He wrote a letter home telling his mother that he had fallen in love with a girl and that he must take her home to be his wife. He knew that he was stupid, did not understand the love between a man and a woman, and could not escape Du Yueyao’s happiness, so he begged his mother to stay in the capital for a little longer. No matter what worries the girl had, no matter how stupid he was, he had to see her again …
Yin Ci did not expect that the brothel boat had already begun to pack up. Everyone was extremely busy, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to go out and disturb them. He only watched from afar, and only when the Spring Brothel brothel boat left the shore did he realise that the Na Hong Yuan brothel boat was actually following behind him, and that the Lady Boss had actually prepared a small boat to follow behind her.
Although he was suspicious, he didn’t know what was going on, so he could only continue to follow behind. Sure enough, when it reached the point where the water was rushing fast, the brothel boat of the Na Hong Yuan School suddenly lost control and rammed into the brothel boat in front of it. Afterwards, the female owner of the house, Mommy Chun, sat on the boat she had prepared a long time ago and together with a few servants, they separated from the brothel boat and rowed towards the shore …
Originally, he could have intercepted the Mommy Chun’s boat, but at this time, his mind was naturally full of whether or not Du Yueyao was in danger. Get your little boatman to lean the boat over and save them.
Unfortunately, the current was too fast, and the Spring Brothel ship had already lost control, causing it to sway violently in the water. If he forced the boat over, it was possible that the boat would break apart.
And at this moment, when Du Yueyao saw the nearby Yin Ci, he suddenly felt exceptionally relieved.
She responded to the shouts downstairs while pulling Xiao Cui’er closer to the deck. Right at this moment, they suddenly heard the same surprised exclamation. Although it was extremely strange, it was hard to conceal the anxiety in that voice …
The cries came from the fishermen on the nearby boats, they knew the river very well, if it was only the torrent, it would be fine, after all the brothel boat’s tail had been smashed into pieces, but it could still hold on for a long period of time, but the bigger problem was that there were still many reefs in the river, and because the fishermen knew the danger had never passed by, they all took a detour, but at this moment, the brothel boat was flowing towards the reef without control …
All of the warnings were now useless. In the next moment, the brothel boat of Spring Brothel ruthlessly crashed onto a protruding reef …
The rock was not big, but it was especially sharp. Normally, when a brothel boat as big as the Spring Brothel was installed, it would at most make a hole in the boat, but the boat itself was very big, so Su Yun did not need to worry about it sinking. As long as he could repair it on the shore, it would be fine. The moment it hit the stone, the sharp stone actually split the boat into two …
The most frightening thing was that the moment the boat was loaded with rocks, the body of the boat could not withstand such a powerful shock. The fence on the third floor broke and fell into the river.
Du Yueyao and Xiao Yue’er, who had been tightly grabbing onto the fence to maintain their balance, naturally fell into the river together with the fence … She only felt that the place where she was leaning on was suddenly empty, and directly plummeted down. Xiao Cui’er also took out from her arms and fell into the water with a splash. She was so insignificant that even the water didn’t splash much when she was in the water. After undulating slightly, she disappeared from Du Yueyao’s sight …
“Xiao Cui’er…”
Her words had not even left her mouth before they were drowned in the river, which instantly enveloped her entire body.
Du Yueyao did not know how to swim, and struggled for a bit, but the water flow was too fast, and the things that floated around her were all trash. It was impossible for her to lift her weight, and she was directly swept up by the water and sunk into the waves.
“Xiao Cui …”
Du Yueyao moved up and down in the waves. When she fell into the water, a person jumped down from the boat with a loud voice. It was Lan Xiao … Lan Xiao had grown up by the riverside, and her personality was also as naughty as a boy’s. Even if she was able to stabilize herself in these kinds of waves, after Du Yueyao consecutively drank a few mouthfuls of the turbid river water, she accurately grabbed her back and propped him up …
“Xiao Cui, Lan Xiao, don’t worry about me …”
She didn’t know whether she was crying or not, so she just anxiously yelled with a hoarse voice to express her thoughts. Lan Xiao also understood, but she did not let go until she felt that another person had swam to her side. Lifting her up with both hands, she knew. Yin Ci is coming over …
Lan Xiao saw that Yin Ci had also come down, and was approaching him in the midst of the waves. She could tell that Yin Ci’s swimming ability was not good, and it took him a few ups and downs before he managed to swim over. She was not too worried about giving Du Yueyao to him, but she had no other choice. She turned around and saw that some fishermen had jumped off the fishing boats, and handed Du Yueyao to Yin Ci. She then dove into the water again, in the direction that Xiao Cui’er had gone.
The situation in the river was much more complicated than it looked on the surface. Yin Ci could only barely lift Du Yueyao, but he was unable to retaliate against the rushing water current. He followed the complicated flow of the water and tumbled, but he still tried his best to maintain his balance, allowing Du Yueyao to reach the surface.
The surrounding fishermen had already tried their best to get closer to them. When they finally managed to get Du Yueyao and onto the boat, cheers filled the air.
But then a scream followed. Du Yueyao’s head didn’t seem to have woken up from this nightmare. In the blink of an eye, he had fallen into another nightmare … Probably because he was scratched by rocks in the water, once Yin Ci got ashore, his body was immediately dyed red with blood …
She couldn’t react for a long time. Other than crying, what else could she do?
She continued to hug the silly man on the ground. She wanted to block his wounds, but blood still kept flowing out, staining the ground red.
“You’re fine, you’re fine, I’ll go back to Su Zhou with you, okay?”
The man had already turned pale from the loss of blood, but because of what he said, his face was flushed. He smiled warmly and reached out his ice-cold hand to touch Du Yueyao’s face. He had never touched a woman’s face except his mother’s.
“Where’s the doctor? Where’s the doctor? ”
She held onto that hand and crazily begged the people around her to help her find a doctor to save her.
However, the child suddenly stopped. He once again opened his mouth with great difficulty and spoke extremely slow words.
“I… Not good enough for you… You have to find someone who’s better for you… ”
He had used up all his strength, but he couldn’t catch it in one breath. He looked at the sky.
“Married …”
She was just so useless. If she couldn’t take care of her child, she wouldn’t be able to protect the people she liked …
In the past month, this matter had still been the subject of discussion for the people of the capital. The reason for it was that a problem with the brothel boat of the Na Hong Courtyard had occurred and they had bumped into the brothel boat of the Spring Brothel, resulting in the disappearance of a servant girl and the accidental death of a heroic young master of a rich family. As for the details, they had all come from the fisherman who had rescued them at that time.
The Spring Brothel had been closed because the female boss, Lan Xiao, had gone to rescue her after falling into the water because of a young maid. She had not expected that three days after she had been found, she was washed to the riverbank far away from the capital, unconscious. A famous doctor in the capital once concluded that she could not have survived.
But in the end she survived. Although he couldn’t speak yet, he needed to lie in bed and be cared for for for for a very long time before he could completely recover.
And Spring Brothel’s number one, Du Yueyao? The woman who had shocked the capital a few months ago and became the dream girl of countless noble young masters had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He heard from the fishermen that an extremely beautiful woman had indeed fallen into the water, but it seemed that nothing had happened to the people who had saved her.
But no one ever mentioned anything about her.
[There are so many young masters who are still thinking about me. What about the number one card in the capital?] Where’s the lady with the apricot flowers? But sick? Or frightened? They asked around, but there was no answer.
Could it be that Du Yueyao, who was already famous in the capital, had already left? Married? Wouldn’t that be such a pity …
Right now, she was sitting on the side of Lan Xiao’s bed. After what happened, she had already cried for a very long time, and her tears had long since dried … At one point, she couldn’t even see the object in front of him clearly. The doctor said that if she cried again, her beautiful eyes would not be able to be preserved.
The sisters took turns to look after her and Lan Xiao.
Du Yueyao didn’t cry anymore. She still needed her eyes, she really needed them … From the moment she was saved and landed, she had heard that the brothel boat of the Na Hong Yuan were slightly strange when they collided with the brothel boat of the Spring Brothel, that there seemed to be no one controlling the boat. She bumped into them unsteadily. Furthermore, not a single one of the people on the Na Hong Yuan board were hurt. It was as if the Mommy Chun knew that something was going to happen and was already prepared.
“You know that, don’t you?” Du Yueyao had not completely recovered, her throat was already broken, and she could not make any sound for half a month. It was a little better now. Although her voice was no longer as gentle and beautiful as it used to be, it was still just like how it used to be.
She was sitting on the headboard of Lan Xiao’s bed. Although Lan Xiao had survived, she had fallen into a deep slumber most of the time, so even when she woke up, she did not seem to be very clear-headed … The doctor said that maybe she had gotten injured in the head due to staying in the water for too long, but Du Yueyao did not believe him. She felt that since Lan Xiao could survive, it was only a matter of time before she would recover to her former state.
“You’ll get better. I know you’ll get better, because I’ll get better too …”
And must get better.
She spoke these words to Lan Xiao who was still in her sleep, as if she thought the other party would definitely hear it, or perhaps it was just her own words. She reached out her hand and gently touched the forehead of the person on the bed. Lan Xiao’s complexion looked much better than half a month ago.
Du Yueyao repeatedly stared at the silk flower on her clothes, as though she had already said a lot of things in her heart. She knew that if she kept thinking about Yin Ci’s smile and his innocent look, she would definitely die.
If she wanted to live, she couldn’t think about them anymore.
But it was useless to think about it. It was already carved into his heart, dripping with blood.
But she couldn’t die yet. She still had many things to do. She had to live for them. That was what she had to do now …
