I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives
Chapter 53 Trouble is coming
Chen Jia and Chen Jue were very careful in the inn, whether eating or sleeping.
They chewed each bite of food slowly, as if they were trying to see if there was anything unusual in it.
He dared not completely relax even when sleeping. He always kept his ears alert to the movements around him and held his weapon tightly in his hands, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.
During their time at the post station, they were in a state of high tension.
It was not until they left the post station that they realized Huan Yi's last cleansing was indeed very thorough and did not leave any hidden dangers.
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel that Wei Lang's approach at the time was correct.
Many people will really risk their lives and use any means necessary to get food.
This time they were marching quickly, and they only stopped at the post station for a little replenishment before setting off directly.
They deeply realized that the danger level of escorting military rations and simply marching was different.
Escorting military rations will attract more people's attention and will also involve greater risks.
They secretly thanked God that this was just a pure march, but at the same time they were more alert to the challenges they might face in the future.
The sky was so gloomy that it seemed about to collapse, with dark clouds and howling winds.
After a while, heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, instantly covering the earth in a curtain of rain.
Chen Jue, Chen Jia and others marched hurriedly and arduously in the heavy rain.
The rain was pouring down, hitting my body and causing pain.
The road became muddy and every step required a lot of effort.
The soldiers' footsteps sounded particularly heavy in the rain, and the splashing mud and water soiled their clothes.
Strong winds blew from time to time, blowing the rain curtain to a slant, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
Chen Jia gritted her teeth and tried to keep moving forward in the rain.
Her hair was wet and stuck to her face, and the rain was running down her cheeks.
Chen Jue has been following Chen Jia closely, always alert to the situation around him.
"Sis, watch your step."
His voice was a little blurry in the rain, but full of warmth. Chen Jia nodded slightly.
The roads became increasingly difficult to travel on, with water even accumulating in some places.
Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand tightly, fearing that she would slip.
"Everyone be careful, watch out for the puddles under your feet."
Chen Jue shouted loudly to the soldiers around him. His voice echoed in the rain. The soldiers responded to his reminder and supported each other to move forward.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if there was no end.
A dazzling flash of lightning cut through the sky like a sharp sword, followed by a deafening thunder.
The soldiers were frightened by the sudden loud noise, but they still gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.
Chen Jia held the reins tightly, trying to control her horse. The rain blurred her vision, making it almost impossible for her to see the road ahead.
At this moment, another flash of lightning danced in the sky like a silver snake.
Chen Jia only felt a flash of light before his eyes, followed by a huge roar.
Before she could react, she felt a powerful force passing by.
Her horse was suddenly startled, raised its front hooves and neighed in fear.
Chen Jia tried desperately to steady the horse, but it was too late.
The lightning actually hit Chen Jia's horse!
The horse fell down instantly, foaming at the mouth, and its body continued to twitch.
Chen Jia was also thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.
After being struck by lightning, Chen Jia's consciousness seemed to fall into an endless dark abyss for a moment.
When she slowly opened her eyes, what she saw was Chen Jue's face full of anxiety and worry.
She lay on the ground, the rain hitting her face and body mercilessly, but she seemed not to feel the coldness, only that her whole body felt numb and heavy.
She moved her fingers slightly, and a tingling sensation instantly spread from her fingertips to her whole body. She tried hard to prop herself up, but found that her body seemed to be pressed down by a mountain, so heavy that she could not move.
My head was still buzzing, and the deafening thunder seemed to still echo in my ears.
Chen Jia swallowed hard, her throat feeling dry and painful.
Chen Jue saw this scene not far away, and a strong sense of fear suddenly surged in his heart.
He yelled, "Sister!"
Chen Jue jumped off his horse and ran towards Chen Jia desperately.
Chen Jue ran to Chen Jia and hugged her in his arms.
Her eyes were a little blurry, and as she looked at the chaotic scene around her, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She never thought that she would have a close brush with death under such circumstances.
The moment Chen Jue held her in his arms, the familiar breath and the tight hug made her know that she was still alive.
She turned her head slightly and looked at the horse that was killed by lightning, feeling a little scared.
If she hadn't been lucky, she would probably be the same as the horse now.
His hands were shaking, and his voice was full of excitement: "Sister, how are you? Don't scare me!"
Chen Jia opened her eyes slightly, looked at Chen Jue's anxious face, and said weakly: "I'm fine..."
Chen Jue's tears burst out instantly, and he hugged Chen Jia tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go.
At this time, there were still thunder and lightning in the sky.
Chen Jue knew that they could no longer stay in this place.
He carefully picked up the unconscious Chen Jia and put her on his horse.
Then he shouted to the soldiers: "Don't hide under the trees, go to open areas as much as possible!"
The soldiers heard his order and took action.
Chen Jue rode on the horse and took Chen Jia away quickly.
His heart was filled with fear. The scene just now was too thrilling. If he hadn't arrived in time, Chen Jia might have been in danger of her life. He didn't dare to imagine the consequences of losing Chen Jia. He only knew that he had to protect her.
When Chen Jia woke up again, he found himself in an old temple.
There was a faint scent of incense in the temple, and dim light filtered through the shabby windows, giving people a feeling of tranquility and mystery.
She slowly opened her eyes, her vision was still a little blurry and her head was still dizzy.
The pain all over her body came like a tide, and she couldn't help but moan softly.
Chen Jia tried hard to recall what had happened before, the terrible lightning, the horse struck by lightning, and the moment when she was thrown out... everything seemed like a nightmare.
A feeling of fear welled up in her heart. If Chen Jue had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
At this time, Chen Jue heard the noise and hurried to her side.
"Sister, you finally woke up!"
Chen Jue's voice was trembling a little. He held Chen Jia's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue weakly, forcing a smile from the corner of her mouth. "I'm fine. Sorry to have made you worry."
Chen Jue's tears welled up in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Sister, I almost lost you..."
Chen Jia raised her hand, gently stroked Chen Jue's face, and comforted him: "Silly brother, I'm fine, right? Don't cry."
Chen Jue sniffed and tried hard to control his emotions.
"Sister, take a good rest and don't think too much. When you recover, we will continue to move forward."
"I think this lightning strike is not a simple matter. It doesn't seem to be accidental."
"Don't think about it now. When you are well again, we will investigate slowly."
Chen Jia sighed and closed her eyes, but the lightning and the horse that was struck to death by lightning kept appearing in her mind.
Chen Jue stayed by Chen Jia's side, wiping the sweat from her forehead from time to time or feeding her some water.
His movements were gentle and careful, as if he was caring for a precious treasure.
"Brother, you are tired too, go and have a rest."
Chen Jue shook his head and said firmly: "I'm not tired, I want to stay with my sister."
