Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 284 The Dark Moonlight in My Heart (54)

Snowflakes fell thick and fast, blanketing the world as if it were covered with a pure white velvet blanket.

A beautifully decorated carriage sped along the deserted official road, its wheels rolling and kicking up snowflakes. Before long, the carriage arrived at the villa that Chu Yunhe had mentioned.

Sitting inside the carriage, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, then turned to Ru Yan behind her and said softly, "I'll go inside by myself in a bit. You just wait here; you don't need to come with me." With that, she slowly got off the carriage.

As soon as she got out of the car, Xiaoxiao looked at the small courtyard with its white walls and gray tiles, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart. She slowly closed her eyes, trying to put herself in the shoes of her blindness in her past life, and carefully reached out her hands to grope forward.

And so, relying on her memory and sense of touch, Xiaoxiao first found her way to the door frame, then crossed the front yard and arrived at the inner yard. When her hand touched the withered osmanthus tree by the yard wall, she suddenly opened her eyes.

On the osmanthus tree, someone had carved a line of crooked characters with a knife. Xiao Xiao stared at it, and tears instantly blurred her vision, rolling down her cheeks like a burst dam.

Suddenly, a crisp "crack" sound came from behind. The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet snowy night, obviously something had stepped on a branch. Xiao Xiao shuddered and quickly turned around, but all she saw was a vast expanse of white snow, with no one in sight.

"Shen She, I know you're here!" Xiao Xiao shouted, her voice trembling as she stared intently at the dark house.

But all she received in response was deathly silence. Despite this, Xiaoxiao didn't give up. She bit her lip, mustered her courage, and shouted again towards the house, "If you don't come out, I'll wait here for you."

The only response she received was endless silence and the endless snowflakes dancing in the air, as if the whole world had frozen in that moment. Time, like fine sand in an hourglass, quietly slipped away, drop by drop.

Xiaoxiao left home in such a hurry tonight that she was only wearing a thin jacket and had not brought any warm clothing such as a coat or a heater.

The biting wind lashed across her face like a knife, quickly turning her once rosy cheeks purple. Her body began to sway uncontrollably, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Hidden inside the house, Chu Huaijin silently watched everything through the narrow crack in the door. His right hand, which was not yet crippled, was clenched tightly, sometimes loosening, sometimes tightening, his heart filled with contradictions and struggles.

But when he finally saw that stubborn figure in the yard suddenly fall straight to the ground and stop moving, the worry in his heart surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

Chu Huaijin could no longer care about anything else. He hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed towards the fallen figure.

Just as Xiao Xiao's consciousness began to fade and she was about to drift into unconsciousness, she suddenly felt herself fall into an incredibly warm embrace. Instinctively, she tightly grasped Chu Huaijin's crippled left hand and subconsciously rubbed the teeth marks on the web of his hand with her fingertips. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably once again. She slowly raised her eyes, looked at the man before her, and softly asked, "Does it hurt?"

Chu Huaijin gazed at the stubborn woman in his arms, the woman who haunted his dreams and filled him with longing, and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart. As if resigned to his fate, he nodded slightly, his voice low and teasing, "Your Highness really bit me hard back then, how could it not hurt?"

Even at this point, he was still so considerate of himself, using humor to ease his guilt.

However, at this moment, Xiao Xiao felt as if something was blocking her throat, and no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer utter a single word against her will.

Her body trembled slightly as she leaned gently against Chu Huaijin, who was so thin it was heartbreaking, and whose bones seemed to jut out. She asked softly, "How exactly did you escape?"

Chu Huaijin slowly took out the exquisite sachet from his bosom, carefully held it in his hands, gazed at the sachet, and showed a trace of tenderness and gratitude in his eyes. He said slowly, "Thanks to someone who came to my rescue, there was a copper coin hidden in this sachet. It was this copper coin that blocked a fatal arrow for me at the critical moment and saved my life."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shift her gaze to the sachet and examine it carefully. At first glance, the embroidery on the sachet was indeed quite exquisite, but upon closer inspection, one could discover that it contained many intricate silk threads. Although it looked decent overall, the embroidery itself was not particularly outstanding.

In an instant, a distant yet familiar memory flooded her mind. She suddenly recalled a past life when she had joyfully and expectantly sewed a sachet for her brother, placing a copper coin inside, hoping to bestow good fortune and peace upon the wearer. Little did she expect that, by a twist of fate, this small sachet would actually save her brother's life.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao's thoughts drifted back to the past. She clearly remembered that in her previous life, she had specifically instructed Rong Qing, the servant beside her brother, to make sure that this sachet, filled with her heartfelt wishes, was delivered to her brother.

However, when the doctor who was supposed to treat his eye disease finally arrived as promised, Rong Qing had already embarked on a journey of traveling the world and exploring mountains and rivers.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. After all, Shen She, who was seriously injured at the time, was able to escape safely, so there must have been someone helping him behind the scenes.

However, according to her deduction, this person's martial arts skills did not seem to be particularly superb, and he even almost caused Shen She to lose his life on the battlefield.

Suddenly, memories flooded back, and the image of General Chu, who had once left a deep impression on him after a brief parting, appeared before his eyes.

He is cheerful and lively, always wearing a bright, sunny smile, and what is most unforgettable is his two cute and playful tiger teeth when he smiles.

An ominous premonition gradually enveloped Xiaoxiao's heart; her brows furrowed, and her heart was filled with unease.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Huaijin's collar tightly, so hard that Chu Huaijin winced in pain. However, Xiaoxiao ignored this completely. She stared intently at Chu Huaijin and then asked, word by word, "That person... is his name Rong Qing?"

When Chu Huaijin heard the name "Rong Qing," his body visibly trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning.

His previously calm expression instantly froze, and his eyes began to dart away. After a moment, he slowly lowered his eyes, seemingly unable to meet Xiaoxiao's gaze directly, as a silent response.
