A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

After climbing for about half an hour, they arrived at the Wangjiang Pavilion halfway up the mountain. Sha Yanyao asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest here for a while?"

Miss Shen smiled and said, "We're just getting started."

Gui'er and Sha Lili quickly said, "I'm tired, I need to rest for a while."

Sha Yanyao smiled and said to Miss Shen, "They are young and usually quiet, so they seldom exercise."

Miss Shen suddenly realized what was going on. She turned around and said to Gui'er and Sally, who were nearly ten meters behind them, with a smile, "Then let's go to the Wangjiang Pavilion in front to rest."

So, she and Sha Yanyao walked into the pavilion and sat down. Gui'er took two steps forward when Sha Lili suddenly pulled her back. She whispered, "I need to go to the bathroom. Is there a toilet nearby?"

In this era, where could one find such complete supporting facilities? Guier ran to ask the adjutant: "Big brother, do you know where there is a public toilet on the mountain?"

The deputy general was stunned for a moment and said, "I only know there is one next to the tower on the top of the mountain."

Sha Lili said, "It's so far, I can't hold it anymore. You stand further away and help me stop passers-by." Then she walked towards the grass by the roadside, pulling Gui'er with her.

Guier said, "I'm not in a hurry."

Sha Lili said, "No, you have to go with me, otherwise I'm scared."

Guier looked at the grass that was as tall as a person on the side of the road. It was indeed scary to walk into it alone, so she had to follow him in.

Sha Lili walked forward a few meters, and Gui'er said, "If you go a little further, you will reach Wangjiang Pavilion. Big Brother and Miss Shen are there."

Sha Lili said awkwardly, "I'm just afraid of being seen. You should also move a meter or two away."

Gui'er had no choice but to walk forward a few steps. She could vaguely hear the voices of Sha Yanyao and Miss Shen talking, but because the grass was too dense, she couldn't see anyone even though they were so close.

Gui'er stood there and whispered to Sha Lili, "Hurry up, there are too many mosquitoes in this bush."

Just as she finished speaking, she heard Sha Yanyao's voice: "Feng Shu, are you tired?"

Only then did Guier know that Miss Shen's full name was Shen Fengshu.

"I'm not tired. Aren't they coming up yet?"

"Children are weak and walk slowly. Feng Shu, you are leaving tomorrow, and I want to get some definite information. What do you think of me?"

When Gui'er heard this, she held her breath, afraid that she would make some noise and disturb them.

At this time, she heard the sound of grass behind her. She turned around and saw Sha Lili coming over. She quickly hushed and pointed ahead. Sha Lili immediately understood. The two of them stood quietly in the grass, not daring to go out at this time, for fear of making loud noises that would embarrass both of them. At the same time, they tilted their ears curiously, wanting to hear how Miss Shen responded.

After a long while, Miss Shen's voice was heard.

"Yan Yao, I think you're a truly outstanding person. You're knowledgeable, humorous, and considerate of others. But, how should I put it? Maybe I'm still a little short of it. To me, you're more like an older brother or a senior. I'm sorry."

"Haha, it's okay. I've had a great time spending time with you these past two days. Remember to write back after you've settled down in Shanghai."

It seems that there is no hope. Gui'er and Sha Lili looked at each other. They also felt it was a pity, but there was nothing they could do. This kind of thing could not be forced.

The two planned to go back the same way, go out from the other side and then come back, so that Sha Yanyao and Miss Shen would not know that they were eavesdropping.

After turning around and taking two steps, I suddenly heard Miss Shen's voice again.

"Actually, my mom thinks you're pretty good too. If there were nothing wrong with your legs, she would definitely force me to agree."

"Haha, I really failed to live up to your expectations. So what kind do you like?"

"Well, I actually like your brother, the Second Young Master. He's not as knowledgeable as you, and his personality isn't as good as yours, but he has a practical charm. Don't get me wrong, I don't like your brother, I just like his type."

Gui'er and Sha Lili both felt uneasy in their hearts. They knew that although Sha Yanxiao and Sha Yanyao seemed to coexist peacefully on the surface, everyone could not help but compare them. Especially since Sha Yanxiao's current position as the young marshal was originally Sha Yanyao's, and Sha Yanyao would definitely not like this statement.

"Bang, bang" suddenly there were a few small dull sounds, as if something hit the ground.

Gui'er and Sally waited there for a few more seconds. They didn't hear any talking and felt a little strange, but they didn't dare to leave. They walked back and came out from the other end. The adjutant was still waiting there.

Gui'er and Sha Lili looked at each other. They knew that Sha Yanyao must be in a bad mood right now, so they could only bite the bullet and move forward.

When he was about to reach Wangjiang Pavilion, he found that Miss Shen was not there. Sha Yanyao stood in the pavilion blankly looking down.

Gui'er asked Sha Yanyao curiously, "Brother, where is Miss Shen?"

Sha Yanyao pointed his finger downwards and said, "It just fell down."

Gui'er, Sha Lili and the adjutant were all horrified and hurried to the railing to look down. This Wangjiang Pavilion was built on a protruding part of the mountainside so that tourists could overlook the river scenery. Therefore, the side facing the river was actually a very steep cliff.

Miss Shen was wearing a very eye-catching pink and blue dress today. A glance down showed that she did not fall to the bottom of the cliff, but was blocked by a protruding rock in the middle. However, the height from the Wangjiang Pavilion was as high as two stories. Miss Shen was lying there motionless, and her life or death was unknown.

Gui Er immediately said to the adjutant, "Brother, find a way to save him."

The adjutant observed the terrain and said, "It seems that we can slowly walk up from the bottom of the mountain to the place where she fell. I'll go and take a look. You guys stand here and don't get too close to the cliff. It will be troublesome if you slip and fall again." Then he turned around and ran down quickly.

Gui'er and Sha Lili stood cautiously inside the pavilion, holding onto the handrails and looking down. The adjutant walked down the mountain and called a few tourists for help. He found a rope and tied it around his waist. Two men among the tourists helped him pull the rope. He ventured along the large and small rocks protruding from the steep cliff and slowly walked towards the place where Miss Shen fell.

Gui'er watched for a while, and suddenly realized that Sha Yanyao didn't seem to have any special reaction. Worried that he was frightened, she stepped forward, took his hand and said to him, "Brother, don't worry. It's not high here, Miss Shen, it should be fine."

Sha Yanyao smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the adjutant had arrived at the place where Miss Shen fell. She was headfirst. The adjutant turned her over. Her whole face was covered in blood. Sha Lili said, "It's over. Director Shen is going to blame us now."
