The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor - C32

This kind of slaughter quickly settled the chaotic scene. No one dared to flee for their lives again. Under Gu Yiqing’s steady command, the dam’s hole was blocked. However, as he turned his head, he saw a familiar face.

Gu Jinzhu was trying her best to get closer to that side, but she was pushed to the riverbank by the crowd.

Gu Yiqing was startled and jumped over. At this moment, dozens of people rushed out of the crowd, holding long sabers in their hands, cold lights glimmering in their eyes as they rushed towards Gu Yiqing.

The chaotic battle caused the wails and cries of those around to become a cacophony. A blood-red light shot into the sky, turning into a rain of blood.

Gu Jinzhu was frightened to the point that her face turned pale. She had never thought that there would be an ambush here, to actually make a move on Gu Yiqing at this time!

She was pushed all the way to the edge of the river. Before she could even react, she fell backwards.

Gu Yiqing’s face suddenly changed when she saw this. She waved her sword and pushed back the person in front of her, raising her Qi and moving towards them.

Xue Yi was startled and called out “Master”. She saw Gu Qingqing jump towards where Gu Jinzhu was and at this moment, a saber light had also arrived behind her.

Gu Yiqing was in the air and couldn’t dodge at all. Her back was cut by the civilians, causing her to fall straight into the river.

The man in the blood-red robe looked as if his eyes were about to crack open. He flew over and cut the man in half. He then threw himself against the edge of the dike. The torrent of water below him had long since disappeared with Gu Yiqing and Gu Jinzhu.

Gu Jinzhu fell into the river as the cold water poured straight down her nose. She struggled as hard as she could, thinking that she would die here. Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by someone.

That person’s strength was extremely great as he tightly held onto her. When she opened her eyes, she vaguely saw a green figure.

The water was strong, and in a few seconds they were carried down the river, surrounded by rocks, and she could feel the man holding her in his arms.

Since she was a child, she had never learned to swim. The coldness and suffocation made her lose consciousness very quickly. Before she fainted, she only remembered that person’s firm protection of her chest.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jinzhu slowly woke up. A gust of cold wind blew over, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

She opened her eyes in a daze. It was pitch black around her. Only mountains and rivers could be seen. The sky was like a huge black curtain with no stars.

Only then did she realize that she was still half lying in the water. This was a shallow pool filled with sand and rocks, and as she thought about the previous situation, she was slightly surprised. She wanted to sit up, but she felt something strange on her wrist.

She turned her head, lying face down on the beach, motionless, not knowing if she was alive or dead, yet his hand still tightly gripped her wrist without loosening it in the slightest.

Her hands gradually began to tremble as the image of the green person in the water flashed through her mind. She bit her lips and slowly sat up, turning the person over.

What entered his eyes was the extremely familiar and handsome face. However, at this moment, his eyes were tightly shut, and his face was rubbed in several places. There was even some sand on his face, making him look more miserable than he had ever been before.

Her hand touched his back. Her palms were wet and sticky, and she pulled her hand back. The dark red liquid on her hand was pungent and reeking of blood.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Panic mixed with a fear that she had never felt before surged forth. Her hands trembled as she pushed him away. “Third Uncle, Third Uncle?”

She swayed for a long time, but he did not move. Her heart sank endlessly as she touched his nose with her trembling hand, feeling the warmth of his breath. She was so excited that she almost cried.

Thank the gods and buddhas for protecting him. He did not die.

She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart as she looked around. Her surroundings were completely dark, and she couldn’t see anything. She could only hear the waves hitting the reef.

From the looks of it, they had been brought here by the turbulent flow. Although her body was sore, she had not suffered any major injuries. Thinking of Gu Yiqing in the water, tightly protecting her with her life, an indescribable feeling of gratitude arose in her heart.

If it hadn’t been for him, wouldn’t she have died long ago? All her fears were gone, replaced by anxiety and worry.

From the looks of it, he was heavily injured. It was so dark and she couldn’t see where he was injured. If this were to drag on, would his life be saved?

She was stunned for a moment before gritting her teeth and standing up. No matter what, she wouldn’t let him die here.

She began to feel around Gu Yiqing’s body. She had seen his body covered with fiery creases before, but she didn’t know if he had fallen into the river or not.

After searching for a long time, she found a small porcelain bottle on his chest. She took it out to smell and was overjoyed. It was actually a bottle of medicine.

The bottle was tightly sealed, not a single drop of water coming out.

It was too dark to see exactly where his injuries were, so she could only rely on her previous impression to scatter all the medicine on his back.

After a while, he carefully touched it and felt that it was no longer leaking blood. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Her surroundings were completely dark without a fire piston. She didn’t dare to go anywhere, so she carefully dragged him to the nearest large rock. She hugged her knees as she sat in front of him, shielding him from the wind.

The sea breeze was cold and chilly on the pitch-black beach. Her clothes were still wet, and they stuck tightly to her body. It was so cold that she wished she could shrink back into herself.

She turned around and glanced at Gu Yiqing. Her heart felt as heavy as lead. His injuries were so severe, she wondered if he would be able to make it through the night.

She was afraid and worried, and she felt every minute was torture, but no matter how hard the wind blew, she still stood in front of him, not moving a step away.

When the sky gradually brightened and the sky turned white, everything around him finally ceased hiding in the darkness, slowly revealing his original appearance.

Gu Jinzhu felt that tonight, she had already passed from death to life. She circled around before the gates of hell, hurriedly looking at the unconscious Gu Yiqing.

When he saw it, he was shocked.

She knew about his injuries, but she didn’t know that they were far more serious than she had thought.

His clothes were torn from head to toe, from his arms to his legs. Not a single piece of his skin remained undamaged. However, when she saw the wound behind him, she couldn’t help but gasp in shock as her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

It was obviously a knife wound, cut diagonally from his shoulder blade all the way to his waist, his skin and flesh were twisted malevolently, probably because he had been ruthlessly struck. The wound was deep enough to see the bone, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

Gu Jinzhu was so frightened that her heart stopped beating. She remembered how he had hugged her tightly in the water, using his back to help her protect her back from the rubble. At that time, she didn’t know that he had suffered such a heavy injury.

Her hands trembled, and she finally couldn’t hold back her tears. They slid down her face, drop by drop. This person treated her like this, so how was she going to repay him?
