Chapter 79 Don’t worry about me

Heming Academy is built on the mountainside. Now that the school building is to be expanded, the wall near the back mountain will be temporarily demolished.

The entire academy is connected to the back mountain. During the day, the invited craftsmen came and went. Now at dusk, the sky has dimmed. The craftsmen have gone down the mountain to do things inconveniently. The students have also come down from school. In the academy

It became empty, and the connection to the back mountain was only temporarily blocked by a fence. There were no people inside or outside.

Qin Tian stood in the deep pit, looking up at the getting darker and darker skylight, and heard the roar of beasts lingering in the forest in the distance, and beside her was Wei Yunce who had just walked out from deeper.

"Sir, is there a way out?"

Qin Tian followed Wei Yunce all the way to the edge of the back mountain. He didn't say anything about "avoiding him". He just asked how she was doing and mentioned that she had made great progress.

He didn't say anything else. Qin Tian felt relieved and followed him a few more steps.

Originally, it was getting dark and they were going back to the academy, but Tong An heard the sound of the mountain spring and went to get water to make tea. Unexpectedly, he didn't come back.

They searched near the mountain spring, but found no one.

The sky was getting dark, and Wei Yunce originally said that he would send Qin Tian back first, and then ask someone to find Tong An, but he didn't expect the two of them to fall into a deep pit while walking.

The pit was extremely deep. When she fell, Qin Tian felt that she might break her legs and feet, but someone pulled her into his arms. She fell on Mr. Wei without any injuries.

The deep pit they fell into turned out to be a secret passage that had been in disrepair for a long time. Unfortunately, it was not an exit, so there were no stone steps to climb up.

Qin Tian asked and saw Mr. Wei sigh and shake his head.

"It may have been a secret passage in a temple in the past, but there is no temple on this mountain anymore, and this secret passage has been abandoned. I looked for it, but the road was blocked by collapsed rocks and soil."

The sky above their heads is their only exit.

But Tong An is nowhere to be found, and there is no sound of anyone nearby. How are they going to get up there?

Qin Tian thought of Wei You and the others who came to pick her up, and wondered how anxious the family was. She frowned and repeatedly checked to see if there was anywhere nearby that she could climb up.

At this time, the young man behind him suddenly said something.

"Let's see. It's because I haven't thought carefully about this matter. Just step on my shoulder now. Don't make the family anxious."

Qin Tian's anxiety was immediately noticed by this gentleman.

Qin Tian didn't mean to blame others. He looked at him and the man still smiled gently at her.

"Fortunately, the hole is not too deep, so I think you should be fine."

He is tall, so Qin Tian can lend him a shoulder.

But her eyes suddenly fell on the hem of the beige muslin robe he was wearing. The plain white hem was stained with blood at some point, and looked like a deep black hole in the dim sky.

"Sir is injured?!"

When she asked this question, she saw the man's eyes shift away, "It's okay, it's a small injury."

But Qin Tian thought of the situation when she fell and was pulled by him and fell into his arms. She was not injured, but he seemed to have hit a large standing rock.

She couldn't help but stare closely at the hem of his clothes. The originally inconspicuous piece of blood clung to his calf and smeared out.

The wound is bleeding.

"Sir you"

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted with a smile.

"I don't have anything, but it's already very dark. You are a little girl. I am worried that I cannot find you at home. If I use people to search for you, it will harm your reputation. Listen to me and go back to the academy quickly.

Go home with your servants."

"how about you?"

"I have nothing to do, don't worry about me." He said, "Tell your old steward and ask him to go to the Wei family. The Wei family will naturally send someone to look for me."

But this was too much trouble, and Wei Yunce would have to stay here for at least half the night.

In the distant mountain forest, there are constant roaring sounds of animals. Who knows when they will jump into this deep pit and kill someone.

Qin Tian couldn't help but shake his head in refusal.

"Think of other options"

"What else can I do?" Qin Tian noticed that the young man's eyes were fixed on her face. Thinking of Wei Miao's words that day, she felt guilty and did not look away.

Before she fell into the trap, she thought that Mr. Wei's sweetheart must not be her, she was just a student under his care.

But at this moment, under his fixed gaze, she felt more and more guilty.

She didn't dare to look at him at all, but he suddenly laughed softly.

"What a timid rabbit. It's up to other people to like you. What are you afraid of?"

These words made the little girl stunned.

The man laughed more and more, but although he smiled, his voice was a bit deep.

"A person who goes against his parents and relatives for a cowardly rabbit must be the stupidest person in the world, right?"

There is an unconcealable loneliness in his words.

Qin Tian's head suddenly became confused.

So is the person he likes really her?

Qin Tian couldn't believe it, but the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer.

She didn't know how to respond.

I heard the man shake his head and chuckle, "Forget it if you don't understand. This is the most difficult path. I chose it for myself."

Having said this, he took two steps forward, reached Qin Tian's side, and glanced at the almost dark sky outside the deep pit.

"We can't delay any longer. When it gets completely dark and you run back to the academy alone, I won't be worried."

As he said this, he called Qin Tian, ​​"Hurry up. If it ruins your reputation, you will have no choice but to marry me."

He also asked her self-deprecatingly, "You probably haven't thought about marrying me."

His repeated words made Qin Tian completely at a loss.

Qin Tian didn't know how she could win the admiration of the eldest son of Wei, who was sought after by everyone, but she had never thought about marrying him.

However, Qin Tian couldn't do it just by escaping by himself. Considering his reputation, he made a roundabout announcement and asked him to wait alone in the mountains and forests until midnight.

Especially facing someone who treated her like this.

The little girl bit her lip.

Wei Yunce just looked at her quietly, and saw that she looked a little embarrassed, with the broken hair falling down from her forehead. She neither dared to look at him nor wanted to leave just like that.

She is different from others

But Wei Yunce had to let her go.

But before he could speak, she spoke first,

"I, let me bandage you first."

Her eyes finally turned slightly toward him, landing on his blood-stained red clothes.

Neither saying go nor saying not going, Wei Yunce looked over quietly.

The little girl explained in a low voice.

"You have to stop the bleeding, or you'll faint."

Wei Yunche glanced at her. She finally started to care about him, right?

Wei Yunce sat down.

As she spoke, she began to rummage in the deep cave under the dim light of the sky.

He had heard that she shared Qihuang's fondness for medicinal food, and he thought it was just for fun, but he didn't expect that she actually picked out a few green leaves in a patch of grass among the leaves that all looked the same.

She carried a small ladle and pestle in her purse, and she quickly pounded the herbs into puree and brought them over.

"Can you apply the medicine yourself?"

Wei Yunce didn't give her any trouble and nodded.

He said, "We can't delay any longer. I've taken the medicine and you will leave as soon as possible. We have agreed."

He looked at her and must make her agree to leave quickly.

The little girl bit her lip, seemingly acquiescing.

The medicine she prepared was ground very finely. Wei Yunce had never used such a simple herb before, but the medicine was refreshing and cool when applied to his legs, without the spicy and rough feeling of the local herbs as expected.

Wei Yunche applied some medicine on himself and glanced at the little girl from the corner of his eye. He saw that she had her back on her back and didn't know what she was doing. She seemed to be still struggling.

If it was the girl next to me who was either leaving or staying, she would probably be crying, but she neither said leave nor stay, I don’t know what she was thinking.

It was getting darker and darker. Wei Yunce had taken some medicine, put down his clothes, and was about to say something. Suddenly, she, who had been looking down at the grass, stood up.

"Here! There's a vine here! We can all get out!"

Wei Yunce was startled when he saw her pulling something out from a blade of grass with both hands. The sand flew away, and vines emerged from under the sand. They were thick and strong and reached just outside the deep cave.
