The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 83 Is there anyone with the surname Mo?
"Sister Xiaonian, wake up! Don't fall asleep! Someone has come to save us!" Jiang Li called out anxiously, tears welling up in her eyes. She covered the hideous wound on Xiaonian's back with her trembling hands, but blood kept gushing out.
At this moment, Xiaonian had fallen into a deep coma and had no response. Jiang Li was extremely anxious. She knew that time was running out and she could no longer sit and wait for the soldiers down the mountain to rescue her. Every moment of delay would put Xiaonian's life in greater danger. So, she carried Xiaonian on her back without hesitation and ran out of the cave with staggering but determined steps.
Jiang Li's heart was filled with fear and helplessness, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let herself fall. She knew that only by sending Xiaonian to a safe place for treatment as soon as possible could her life be saved. She had only one belief in her heart - she must keep Xiaonian alive!
At this moment, the other children in the cave also ran down the mountain in panic. They were filled with fear and anxiety, not sure whether the two people would come back, so they had only one thought: escape from here quickly!
Jiang Li carried the young Xiaonian on her back and tried to blend into the running crowd. However, because she was carrying Xiaonian, her pace became noticeably slower. The mountain road at night was already rugged and difficult to walk on, and she took every step carefully, but still took one deep step and one shallow step. Gradually, she was left behind at the end of the team.
As time went by, Jiang Li's strength gradually ran out and her eyes began to blur. Despite this, she still firmly carried Xiaonian on her back and refused to give up.
However, that small body could not resist the huge consumption of physical strength. The fire at the foot of the mountain was getting closer and closer, and Jiang Li's body gradually became heavier, as if a heavy burden was pressing on her. She gasped for breath and her steps became unsteady. Finally, she could no longer hold on, and slowly put Xiaonian down on her back, letting her lean on the rocks by the roadside. Then, Jiang Li closed her eyes and fell limply into the bushes beside her.
At the moment she lost consciousness, she was still mumbling in her heart: "Xiao Nian, sister...someone is here to save us..."
"Miss! Miss! Wake up!" An anxious cry came into her ears, waking Jiang Li from her sleep. Jiang Li closed her lips tightly, and kept muttering something. Seeing this, Shi Liu had to gently shake Jiang Li's shoulders, trying to wake her up. After a long time, Jiang Li finally came back to her senses. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Shi Liu standing beside her, looking at her with concern.
"Miss, did you have a nightmare? Look at you, you are sweating all over!" Shi Liu picked up a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat from Jiang Li's forehead, and asked with concern.
Jiang Li raised her head and looked around, and found herself in an elegant boudoir. The room was beautifully decorated, and everything was so familiar, but also seemed a little strange. She tried to think, but found that her mind was blank. After the misfortune when she was nine years old, she had a high fever, and after waking up, she forgot the painful memory. Could it be that the dream just now really happened?
Since she came back, the whole atmosphere has become extremely strange. Everyone seems to be keeping their mouths shut about the incident, as if some secret is deeply buried. There are rumors from the outside world. She once heard at a party that the third prince saved her from danger, so she always follows the third prince closely and threatens to marry him.
However, she was filled with doubts and uneasiness about these rumors. Today, the scene in her dream appeared so real and clear in front of her, which shocked her like never before. What did those strange people and things mean? She was determined to uncover this mystery.
So, she decided to go to her father's study without hesitation, hoping to get some answers from him. With a nervous mood, she stepped into Tutor Jiang's study.
"Father, I have something to ask you." She stated her purpose straight away.
Master Jiang raised his head, looked at her determined and persistent eyes, smiled slightly and said: "Good girl, what is troubling you? Just tell me."
Jiang Li opened her lips slightly and then closed them again, thinking to herself that if she asked her father directly about the matter, he might not tell her the truth. So, she suddenly had an idea and asked a question that even Master Jiang was surprised.
"Father, do you know any official in our dynasty with the last name Mo?" Jiang Li's mind flashed with Xiaoyan's image, and she recalled that Xiaoyan had revealed that he was from Southern Xinjiang, and that his clothes and appearance did not look like those of an ordinary merchant's son, but more like those of an important official of the court. Therefore, the first thing she wanted to know was Xiaoyan's true identity.
"Your last name is Mo?" Master Jiang subconsciously touched his smooth chin, then he realized that he had shaved his beard today because his wife complained that he always loved to stroke his beard like an old man.
"It seems that there is no official with this surname! Li'er, why do you suddenly ask about this? As far as I know, there is no one with the surname Mo among the officials of the fourth rank and above. As for the officials below the fourth rank, there are so many of them that it is difficult to know for sure whether there is anyone with the surname Mo at the moment." Master Jiang shook his head and answered helplessly.
"No~" Jiang Li was a little disappointed.
"Li'er, is there something wrong? If there is something you can't solve, ask your third brother first!" When Master Jiang heard his daughter's disappointed tone, he felt that he couldn't help much. The thing his daughter asked must be very important. If he couldn't help, he could ask his son to do it! He thought, isn't his son there to be cheated? Haha!
