Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

On the mountain road, the convoys following the Changping Marquis's entourage all stopped. The families of other officials seemed to know that something had happened ahead, and they all sent their maids and servants to inquire about the situation.

When Zeng Wanqing ran to the edge of the cliff, Dongxue and Xiuzhu were still there.

She cautiously peeked out and saw that the cliff was shrouded in a thick, bottomless white mist that made her dizzy, as if it were about to suck her in.

The maid behind her quickly grabbed her arm: "Second Madam, be careful!"

Zeng Wanqing broke out in a cold sweat.

She took two steps back and turned her head to look at Dongxue, who was kneeling and crying beside her.

"Winter Snow, what exactly happened? How could the carriage suddenly plunge off a cliff?"

Dongxue wiped away her tears and choked out, "Second Madam, the horse suddenly went mad, the reins broke, and the carriage overturned. Xiuzhu, the coachman, and I were all fine sitting outside, but Miss and Second Young Master were sitting inside the carriage and were pulled off the cliff."

She then said with self-reproach, "It's all my fault. I should have gone in to serve you, Miss, so I could have kept you company."

Xiuzhu, standing next to him, was also slumped on the ground, looking as if the sky had fallen.

Zeng Wanqing was stunned and stood there, not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this moment, the First Madam and Xiao Jinglin also came over. They peeked out and saw the abyss, and the mother and son were finally relieved.

The First Madam said meaningfully, "This cliff is so deep, Ning'er and Jingyu are probably in grave danger."

Upon hearing these words, Zeng Wanqing immediately came to her senses.

"Quickly, send someone to inform the Marquis! Send someone on horseback to inform the Marquis!"

The moment the carriage overturned, Qi Jingyu wanted to jump out with Qi Ning to escape.

But the carriage flipped too fast, and there was no time to react. Realizing this, he pulled Qi Ning into his arms to protect her.

Qi Jingyu could feel that after the carriage rolled down the steep slope, it plunged down the cliff.

He originally thought that he and Qi Ning were probably going to die soon, but during the fall of the carriage, it seemed that it was blocked by something like a big tree.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage plunged into the water of a deep pool. Due to the enormous impact, both Qi Jingyu and Qi Ning lost consciousness.

The carriage drifted slowly downstream with the current.

After an unknown amount of time, the icy river water overflowed into the carriage, waking Qi Ning from the cold.

Qi Ning opened her eyes and checked the situation. She was still being held in Qi Jingyu's arms. Even though they had both fainted, he hadn't let go of her.

Qi Jingyu was probably seriously injured and was still unconscious, not yet awake.

Qi Ning hurriedly pushed him, saying, "Qi Jingyu, Qi Jingyu, wake up!"

While in a deep sleep, Qi Jingyu heard a voice calling his name repeatedly.

He struggled to open his eyes, looked around at his surroundings, and then felt pain in his body. Only then did he realize that he was not dead.

Besides the pain from his injuries and the chill of the river water, Qi Jingyu also noticed a warm body in his arms.

Qi Ning nestled in his arms, looking at him with red eyes: "You're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I would have thought you were dead!"

Qi Jingyu was stunned for a moment. He quickly let go of Qi Ning and helped her up.

Thanks to the system's protection, the carriage was partially stopped before it fell into the water, thus reducing most of the impact.

They weren't actually seriously injured from the fall, but rather from hitting the wooden planks of the carriage during the rollover, as well as from being hit by teacups, teapots, and small tea tables inside the carriage.

Qi Ning was held protectively in Qi Jingyu's arms. Only her exposed forehead was injured; the rest of her body was unharmed.

Qi Jingyu was much more seriously injured than Qi Ning, because he had protected Qi Ning and absorbed most of the impact. He felt pain all over his body.

Of course, although Qi Jingyu's injuries were quite serious, compared to the original story where he was seriously injured and almost lost half his life, his injuries are now considered minor.

This level of injury is just enough to avoid causing them too much suffering, and it's just enough to dispel Qi Jingyu's suspicions. After all, it's impossible for someone to fall from such a height and come out unscathed.

Qi Jingyu felt that his injuries were not too serious, and then looked at Qi Ning.

He asked her, "Is the injury serious?"

Qi Ning, pale-faced and with tears welling in her eyes, shook her head: "I don't know."

Qi Jingyu guessed that she was probably terrified and couldn't make a judgment, so he said, "Let's go out first."

Otherwise, who knows where this carriage would take them?

Qi Ning was helped out of the carriage by Qi Jingyu and jumped into the river. Standing in the waist-deep water, she looked back and thought to herself, "This carriage is actually quite sturdy. It didn't fall apart after falling from such a height."

However, this is likely because the system mitigated the impact.

"What are you looking at?" Qi Jingyu noticed Qi Ning staring at the departing carriage and asked her, "Did you leave something behind inside?"

"No," Qi Ning denied.

"Then let's get ashore quickly. The river water is too cold; it's not good to stay here too long."

Qi Jingyu pulled Qi Ning across the water, and the two of them stood on the bank, both of them dripping wet.

"Do your arms and legs hurt?" Qi Jingyu asked.

"It doesn't seem to hurt," Qi Ning said.

Qi Jingyu thought so too. If it hurt anywhere, a delicate girl like Qi Ning would definitely be crying by now.

I estimate she only injured her forehead.

Qi Jingyu looked up at the sky above the cliff. The two of them had fallen from such a height and were still alive; it was truly a blessing from heaven.

Recalling that something had blocked the train carriage during the fall, Qi Jingyu felt only fortunate and had no suspicions.

Qi Ning was soaking wet. She pulled her drenched cloak tighter around herself and complained, "How could we be so unlucky? I knew I shouldn't have gotten into the same carriage as you. What are we going to do now? Will Father think we're dead? Will he come to rescue us?"

“He will come,” Qi Jingyu said confidently.

Based on Qi Jingyu's understanding of Qi Congming, even if they were dead, Qi Congming would find their bodies and personally confirm that they were truly dead.

He glanced at Qi Ning, who was shivering from the cold, and said, "Let's go find a place to dry our clothes first."

After saying that, Qi Jingyu started walking along the river.

Because of his pre-existing leg ailment, coupled with his injury, he walked extremely slowly, but because of his height and long legs, he took very large strides.

Qi Ning quickly jogged after him.

The two walked along the river for a while and then saw a simple wooden house not far ahead.

"Look, there's a little cabin up ahead!"

Qi Ning pointed forward.

Qi Jingyu naturally saw it too. He gave a faint "hmm" and hoped that someone would be in the cabin.

However, when they got there, they found the cabin to be extremely dilapidated, and there was not a soul in sight.
