Chapter 387 General's Child Bride 2
The slope was not very steep, but the two men rolled down with great force.
As they rolled, Cui Zhi and Mei kept colliding with the rocks and tree roots on the hillside, making dull thumping sounds.
Mei's screams and cries for help echoed in the mountains and forests, quickly attracting the attention of officers and soldiers.
"Quick! Over there!"
A large group of people ran towards this side. Yang Wumei was so scared that she hid in the dark woods.
Nan Xi looked at the two people rolling down. There was no mercy in her heart, only a sense of pleasure of revenge.
Cui Zhi and Mei rolled to the bottom of the hillside, both of them were covered with bruises and unable to move.
Seeing that the soldiers were about to go down the hillside, Nan Xi threw another stone at Yang Wumei, hitting her in the cheek.
"Ah~~~"
Hit by the sudden stone, Yang Wumei staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The severe pain on her cheek almost made Yang Wumei lose her mind. She screamed uncontrollably and reached out to touch herself, and felt her hand was wet.
She looked around in astonishment but found nothing. However, she looked towards Nan Xi's position based on her intuition and saw a figure flash by in the depths of the woods.
"Damn it!"
Yang Wumei cursed under her breath, realizing that the situation was not good.
She couldn't stay here any longer, or she would be unable to escape once the soldiers arrived. So, she endured the pain, quickly adjusted her breathing, and prepared to flee.
Taking advantage of the cover of the woods, Yang Wumei staggered toward the path.
Although her steps were unsteady, her heart was extremely firm, and every cell in her body was telling her: She must survive!
"Quick! Chase her! Don't let her get away!"
The shouts of the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that they had discovered her whereabouts.
Yang Wumei gritted her teeth, quickened her pace, and shuttled through the woods, trying her best to avoid the sight of the officers and soldiers.
As she ran, the officers and soldiers were gradually dispersed. Some continued to chase in the direction of her escape, while others went astray due to misjudgment.
Yang Wumei took the opportunity to increase the distance between herself and the pursuers. While running, she observed the surrounding environment, looking for a possible hiding place or escape route.
Finally, deep in a dense forest, Yang Wumei found a hidden path.
She turned in without hesitation and ran along the trail. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to escape from here. As long as she could escape, she would have a chance for revenge.
Nan Xi stood on the hillside, watching Yang Wumei's figure gradually disappear into the night.
Nan Xi turned around and walked towards Cui Zhi and Mei.
Cui Zhi supported Mei and let her sit down under the tree roots to lean against.
"Mom, how are you? Did you break any bones?"
Mei groaned, "Ouch... my waist... my back hurts, and my legs can't move."
Cui Zhi was a filial son and was very anxious when he heard this.
"Mom, I'll carry you home and we'll go find a doctor."
He was also anxious when Yang Wumei led the soldiers away, but his mother was unable to move now, so he had to settle her down first.
"Let Zhou carry me home, and you go and save Wumei."
It has to be said that the mother and son had the same thought in their minds, that is, nothing must happen to Yang Wumei. After all, she has an extraordinary status, and whether the Cui family can prosper depends on Yang Wumei.
Cui Zhi was a little hesitant. Zhou's attitude just now made him a little uneasy.
"Don't wait, go quickly, don't worry about Zhou's place, mother will be relieved."
Cui Zhi then stood up, but his legs and feet suddenly became weak and he knelt down.
Mei's eyes were filled with relief, her son was so filial.
"Zhi'er, mother knows you are filial, go quickly."
Cui Zhi was a little embarrassed, "Mom, my legs seem to be numb, and I can't use my strength now."
Mei was stunned.
After a long while, Yang Wumei had disappeared. Cui Zhi had to give up looking for Yang Wumei. Now he was worried about his legs.
He found that he had lost feeling in his legs, so he rolled up his trouser legs to look at them. It was hard to see clearly in the moonlight, but he felt that his calves had become thicker, and when he compared the two calves, the color seemed wrong.
Cui Zhi suppressed his panic and said to Mei.
"Mom, let's go home first. Wumei has martial arts skills that are unmatched by ordinary people. She is also smart, so she will definitely be fine."
Mei could only nod in agreement. She looked around and started scolding Nan Xi again.
"That little bitch Zhou heard that we fell, but she didn't come to help me. She's so abominable. I'll show you how I'll deal with her when we get back."
Cui Zhi rested for a while and felt a little stronger, so he went down the mountain with the help of Mei. Nan Xi did not show up, but just watched them leave the forest silently.
Unable to stay in the Cui family any longer, Nan Xi determined the direction and headed towards the county town.
After Nan Xi entered the county, her eyes were immediately attracted by the wanted posters posted everywhere. On each wanted poster, Yang Wumei's portrait was clearly visible, and the reward amount was also quite tempting.
Nan Xi decided to find a safe place to settle down and recuperate for a while, while observing the situation before making plans.
Nan Xi found an inconspicuous little inn on the outskirts of the city. It was relatively remote and there weren't many guests, making it perfect for her to stay temporarily.
?
Yang Wumei's days in hiding in the mountains were extremely difficult. She hid in hidden caves during the day and searched for food and water under the starlight at night.
The silence in the mountains and forests made her feel lonely, but she was more afraid of being arrested by the government.
She didn't know whether Cui Zhi and his family had returned safely, and she didn't know whether the government was still trying to hunt her down.
This unknown made her feel extremely tormented and desperate, but she did not dare to take the risk to go out and find the answer.
Late one night, as she was trying to find food on a narrow trail, she was bitten by a venomous snake lurking in the grass.
Severe pain instantly swept through her body, and she felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her heart, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
If not treated promptly, the venom can quickly spread throughout the body.
Yang Wumei endured the severe pain and tied a cloth strip tightly above the wound in an attempt to prevent the spread of the venom. She then cut the wound with a dagger and squeezed out the poisonous blood.
She tried her best to find herbs that could relieve the snake venom, but it didn't work. As time went by, her consciousness began to blur and her body became weaker and weaker.
Yang Wumei knew that she couldn't wait any longer. If she continued to stay in the mountains, she would most likely die from the snake venom.
She had to venture out to seek help, even at the risk of being arrested.
Yang Wumei staggered to her feet. Every step felt like walking on the edge of a knife. She gritted her teeth and walked out of the mountain step by step.
Every step she took was extremely difficult, and blood continued to seep from her wounds, staining her clothes and the ground beneath her feet red.
Her steps became heavier and heavier, but her instinct for survival drove her to keep moving forward.
The forest seemed even darker and more mysterious late at night. Yang Wumei's figure was looming among the trees. She did not dare to light a fire and could only rely on the faint moonlight and starlight to identify the direction.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Yang Wumei vaguely saw a faint light ahead.
Although the light was distant and dim, it gave her infinite hope like a life-saving straw.
She used up her last bit of strength and walked towards the light.
