Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 130
Chapter 130 Self-rescue
Gu Jinzhen’s adam’s apple slid and he uncomfortably put aside his gaze. However, in the blink of an eye, his gaze was nailed to Qiao Yunxi’s body.
He had always known that Qiao Yunxi was charming. He didn’t dare to take a closer look. He was afraid that he would be bewitched by Qiao Yunxi’s appearance just like other men. Now that he thought about it, he was very worried about his calmness!
He smiled and shook his head. His vision swayed, and the figure in front of him became even more blurry.
“Looks like we have to spend the night on the mountain.” Qiao Yunxi suddenly stopped.
Gu Jinzhen followed her gaze. In front of him was a small hill, lush with trees. It would take some time to walk out.
“Can you do it?” Qiao Xi originally asked with good intentions, but she didn’t want to break the man’s taboo.
Gu Jinzhen’s gaze towards Qiao Yunxi instantly darkened. When he spoke again, his voice became hoarse, “How did you know I couldn’t do it?”
Qiao Yunxi turned around and looked at him mockingly. “Your feet are empty, your breathing is unstable, your eyes are absent-minded. You can do it? What can you do?”
Gu Jinzhen suddenly laughed, “Let’s go. If we don’t leave, we’ll really have to spend the night on the mountain.”
Hey, aren’t you mad?
Qiao Yunxi looked strangely at Gu Jinzhen’s back.
There’s something wrong with the painting!
It was noon, the temperature was the highest, and the line of sight was the best. However, the visibility here did not exceed ten meters, the moisture was very heavy, and there was still a mist around it.
Qiao Xi’s skirt was completely drenched after walking for only a few dozen meters.
He then looked at Gu Jinzhen.
His condition is not good either.
There were few people and weeds here. Gu Jinzhen opened the way in front of him. The killing sword turned into a wooden saber. Every step he took was very heavy. After he lifted his foot, the weeds under his feet were also firmly pressed to the ground, making it easier for Qiao Yunxi to land. In the early spring, she wore a lot of clothes. After being soaked in the fog, she walked colder and colder, sticking stickily to her body, incomparably thick.
Gu Jinzhen stopped and turned around, following Qiao Xi’s example, he asked mockingly, “You can do it?”
Even his tone was exactly the same.
Qiao Yunxi dragged the corner of his skirt and walked forward angrily.
Marks were left along the way, and the two of them climbed over the mountain step by step.
If his estimation was correct, he would be able to cross this mountain and walk out of the bottom of the cliff. If he wanted to join up with the large army, it would take him some time.
In the middle of the night, the two of them were still shuttling through the forest. Gu Jinzhen turned around and asked hesitantly, “Why don’t we rest for a night first?”
Qiao Xi shook her head. “Sleeping for a night delays time. Furthermore, we can’t guarantee that we will still have strength tomorrow. We can take advantage of our confidence to go as far as we can.”
Gu Jinzhen nodded.
Although sleeping for a night could recover one’s strength, the “morale” was really gone. Even if one’s physical strength could recover, the morale that one could support was gone. No matter how good one’s physical strength was, they would not be able to walk out.
“You’re going the wrong way,” Qiao Xi looked up and decisively pointed to somewhere. “That way.”
Gu Jinzhen’s eyes narrowed vigilantly.
He naturally knew the direction. That was the accumulation of his battlefield experience in his previous life, but how could a girl like Qiao Xi, who could not leave her boudoir, know?
From the book?
The books are all dead, without practical experience, everything is fake.
He admitted that he had deliberately taken the wrong path, but he didn’t expect Qiao Yunxi to notice that such keenness could only mean that Qiao Yunxi had more experience in the wild than him!
Could it be that Qiao Yunxi, like him, had memories of his previous life?
Impossible!
Gu Jinzhen immediately denied.
If Qiao Yunxi had memories of his previous life, the first time they met would not have been because he had crushed him unilaterally. He had personally killed Qiao Yunxi, and Qiao Yunxi would not have avenged him?
Said that Qiao Xi was scheming, deliberately pretending not to recognize him, and attacked from his grandmother?
Gu Jinzhen shook his head.
Qiao Yunxi didn’t have that ability. Not to mention anything else, it was just her grandmother’s ability to see people. She was definitely the strongest among the noble ladies in the capital. No matter how scheming Qiao Yunxi was, she wouldn’t easily enter her grandmother’s eyes.
Thinking about how her grandmother treated Qiao Yunxi for no reason, Gu Jinzhen felt helpless.
If he couldn’t figure it out, he would no longer be entangled. He would always dig out Qiao Xi’s secrets.
Qiao Yunxi’s footsteps grew heavier and heavier. She could no longer even feel the aura of going out. Just as she was hesitating to ask for help, the back of her hand warmed up and Gu Jinzhen held her small hand.
He instinctively struggled for a moment, but his strength was too small to shake off.
In the twilight, Gu Jinzhen proudly raised the corner of his lips and said, “Follow me.”
The end of the whistling voice was accompanied by an undetectable tremor.
Qiao Yunxi thought for a moment and didn’t shake off Gu Jinzhen’s hand.
She was just an ordinary person, and her night vision wasn’t as good as Gu Jinzhen’s. If she didn’t want to fall, it was best to follow Gu Jinzhen. She would save her effort if he would occasionally bring her along.
He didn’t know if he had succeeded in holding hands and giving Gu Jinzhen the courage to walk for tens of meters. He didn’t have the time to ask, “Qiao Xi, do you still remember when you were three years old?”
Aren’t you going to give up?
Qiao Yunxi sneered. “Do you remember when you were three?”
I don’t seem to remember.
Even if he lived a new life, he still had no memories of what had happened when he was three years old.
Unwilling, he was only a step away from knowing the answer. He then asked, “Then, has your third sister been to the north of Sichuan?”
The warmth in his palms suddenly emptied, and his petite figure also stopped.
Although he didn’t understand what was going on, Gu Jinzhen was immediately nervous. “Qiao Yunxi, I didn’t mean anything else. The question I asked was very important to me.”
In the darkness, Gu Jinzhen’s expression could not be seen, but he could hear his tone.
This was the first time the other party was able to speak to her calmly. Qiao Yunxi thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know if my third sister has ever been to the north of Sichuan. My fourth aunt’s mother’s house is in Jincheng, and Fourth Aunt’s business is also in Jincheng. My fourth uncle is a member of the Gu family and rarely leaves Jincheng.” Even now, Fourth Fang only has my sixth brother doing business with the people from the clan, and he has never been to the north of Sichuan. “As for me, I really don’t remember what happened when I was three years old. I only know that when I was three years old, my father brought my mother and me back to the west of Sichuan. I took a detour along the way and said that I was taking my mother to relax. I don’t know if you passed through the north of Sichuan. If you are interested, you can ask my father.”
The reason why Qiao Xi answered in such detail was because she didn’t want to be entangled by Gu Jinzhen anymore.
The fact that the two of them had never stopped meeting for the first time, as well as the series of demonic acts that followed, could all have something to do with Chuanbei. It seemed that she was still one of the parties involved. However, Gu Jinzhen was unsure about the time that had elapsed since then.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, Gu Jinzhen would always find out with her ability. She had nothing to hide and had told him everything she knew. The atmosphere between the two of them was pretty good, so what if Gu Jinzhen found out the truth?
Qiao Xi really didn’t want to meet him.
Regardless of whether it was money or power, she was no match for Gu Jinzhen.
He frowned and stood there bitterly.
A strand of moonlight shone on Qiao Xi’s body unbiased. It was white, misty, and could not be seen clearly, but it also made her even more petite.
“How are you?”
Qiao Yunxi raised his head in surprise.
It was only after Gu Jinzhen finished speaking that he realized what he had said. His heartbeat accelerated nervously, but he didn’t want to admit defeat in front of Qiao Yunxi. He stuck his neck and said, “I’m worried that you’ll be out of the woods. You’ll catch a cold or something. When the time comes, it’ll be on me. I don’t have the leisure to serve you.”
Grinding his teeth!
Qiao Xi turned back to him, “Don’t worry, even if I’m sick and disabled, I won’t blame you. If you don’t rest assured, we’ll go our separate ways now.”
“Don’t, your Mammy Shen, who was guarding you, can’t see you. If you ask me for someone, I won’t be able to leave it behind.” Gu Jinzhen’s reaction was swift, and he actually rejected it at the first possible moment.
The two of them argued as they walked. Unknowingly, Gu Jinzhen held onto Qiao Yunxi’s hand again.
The two of them were also lucky. This place belonged to the suburbs and was close to the city gate, so the terrain was not too steep. Otherwise, the two of them would not have walked so far easily.
When the two of them came out of the forest, it was just as dawn was about to break.
It was only at this time that Qiao Yunxi finally realized that all the strength in his body had been completely sucked away. He shook off Gu Jinzhen’s hand and sat down on the ground.
Gu Jinzhen glanced left and right. “Let’s go over there.”
Pointing to a shelter from the wind.
Qiao Yunxi shook his head.
Without the strength to support her, she could not get up as soon as she sat down.
Gu Jinzhen helplessly bent down and turned his back to Qiao Yunxi, “Come up!”
“What?” Qiao Yunxi still doesn’t want to move.
“I’ll carry you over. This place is too damp. You’re sweating all over. Sit here and watch out for the cold.”
Qiao Yunxi looked at Gu Jinzhen’s back as if he had seen a ghost.
This, the painting style is wrong!
Even if they weren’t endless, they shouldn’t be so close to each other!
“Hurry up.” Gu Jinzhen was impatient.
Qiao Yunxi tried to prop himself up and lay on Gu Jinzhen’s back.
If he wanted to carry it, then let him carry it. Anyway, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
Putting down Qiao Yunxi, Gu Jinzhen casually sat beside her. The two of them quietly looked into the distance.
It was dawn and dawn, and in the pitch-black twilight, there was a thin layer of light. The thickness of the blade was so long and narrow that it extended to the entire horizon.
This was the first time Qiao Xi had seen the sunrise so clearly, and there was a sweet smile on her lips.
Sitting side by side with her, Gu Jinzhen’s body stiffened. His scorching breath made him dizzy.
He secretly peeked at Qiao Xi with his remaining light. Even though his line of sight wasn’t good, he still saw the wounds at the corner of Qiao Xi’s eyes sharply.
At first, he didn’t see that it was a wound. He thought it was a mole, but he was still curious. Qiao Xi didn’t have a mole at the corner of her eyes in her previous life. Don’t ask him why he knew. In his previous life, he didn’t even give Qiao Xi a proper eye. How could he know that Qiao Xi didn’t have a mole?
Looking carefully, he discovered that it was the scar left on Qiao Yunxi’s face by the tip of the sword. Then, he thought of the accident.
His eyes darkened for a moment. He must have a very bad impression in Qiao Xi’s eyes.
“Look, it’s coming out! It’s coming out!” Qiao Yunxi excitedly grabbed Gu Jinzhen’s arm and waved it, pointing at the ball that had popped out of the blade.
Gu Jinzhen looked in the direction she was pointing at, and the corner of his mouth curved even wider. “Yes, it’s the sun.”
‘”This is the first time I’ve seen a sunrise.” Qiao Yunxi’s little face was covered in a gentle light, and his entire body lit up. “Do you feel very shocked?”
