Chapter 443 Confess your feelings
Yan Wen ran all the way to the mountain. When he met villagers on the way up the mountain, he would ask about Xu Shuangxue's whereabouts. But along the way, no one among the villagers working in the mountain had seen her.
At this time, Yan Wen's heart was completely flustered and uneasy. He could only continue to search deep into the mountains, secretly hoping that she would not go up the mountain.
After walking deep into the mountains, there is no trace of the villagers here.
Yan Wen called Xu Shuangxue while searching, and continued walking deep into the mountains for a while. Suddenly he found a piece of cloth in the grass ahead, and Yan Wen hurried forward to check it out.
This material is exactly the color of the skirt Xu Shuangxue is wearing, and the fabric is also made of fine silk.
Yan Wen's face became more and more solemn, he clenched the piece of cloth and stood up and continued walking forward.
As he walked, he paid attention to his steps. The weeds on the ground showed obvious signs of being trampled on. After walking for about half an hour, a faint sound came from a distance.
"Help, help!"
Yan Wen stopped and listened carefully. The sound was extremely weak. He could only vaguely hear a woman's intermittent cry for help. Judging from the sound, it was still some distance away from him.
After determining the direction, Yan Wen headed in the direction of asking for help.
When he walked to a steep hillside, he could clearly hear where the sound was coming from. It was coming from the bottom of the hillside, and Yan Wen was shocked.
The hillside in front of us is extremely steep, about thirty to forty meters deep, and there are many dense trees growing below. It is difficult to see the slope when looking down from above.
Yan Wen noticed an obvious skid mark on the ground all the way down, and determined that Xu Shuangxue fell from here.
"Miss Xu, is that you?"
Xu Shuangxue was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Her right foot was sprained, and there was a deep scratch on her leg. There was a large amount of blood on her purple skirt, and she looked miserable.
When she heard Yan Wen's voice, she burst into tears of joy.
"It's me, I'm here!"
After receiving the response, Yan Wen immediately asked, "How are you? Are you injured?"
"I fell and sprained my foot, and now it hurts so much that I can't even stand up."
Yan Wen glanced around: "Just wait for me, I'll find a way to rescue you right now."
After saying that, Yan Wen took out the short knife he carried with him from his waist, walked to a vine not far from the hillside, leaned over and quickly chopped off the vines one by one with the knife.
He cut down dozens of vines with skillful movements, then took the vines one by one in his hands and began to weave them.
Yan Wen's hands are already dexterous. Before he went into the mountains to hunt prey, he often weaved rattan ropes on site to tie the animal carcasses down the mountain. A rope dozens of meters long was quickly woven.
He visually estimated that the hillside was at least thirty meters long. He braided a rope of more than forty meters, tied one end of the rattan rope to a big tree not far away, threw the other end to the bottom of the slope, and then grabbed it with both hands. Moving quickly down the hillside with the rattan rope.
Finally reaching the bottom of the hillside, Yan Wen saw Xu Shuangxue's figure at a glance, and he ran straight to her.
"Why is there so much blood? Which leg is injured?"
Xu Shuangxue frowned and couldn't hold back the moment she saw Yan Wen. She threw herself into his arms and started crying.
"Woooooooo... I was scared to death. I thought I was going to die here today."
Yan Wen felt a throbbing pain in her heart. The hands hanging down by her sides struggled for a moment, but in the end they couldn't resist the true thoughts in her heart. He raised his hands and patted her back gently.
"You'll be fine, be good. Let me take a look at your wound first."
Xu Shuangxue's eyes were red from crying, and she looked at Yan Wen quietly with a pair of watery eyes.
"Don't you hate me? Why are you still coming to me?"
Yan Wen sighed helplessly: "When did I say I hate you?"
"But your attitude is clearly that you hate me, and aren't you going to see a girl today? Aren't you missing the opportunity to meet other girls by coming to the mountain to look for me?"
Yan Wen looked at Xu Shuangxue and said sincerely: "Miss Xu, I apologize to you for what I said last night. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have run into the mountains by yourself and wouldn't have been injured. Don't be so stupid in the future."
Xu Shuangxue wiped away her tears and said stubbornly: "It has nothing to do with you. I just want to come to the mountain to relax. Since you have told me to stop thinking about you, whoever you marry in the future has nothing to do with me. I have given up." is you."
At this point, Xu Shuangxue's tears fell again, and Yan Wen's heart throbbed hard.
He took out his handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand. He lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and focused on examining her wounds.
"The wound is deep and needs to be bandaged immediately to stop the bleeding. I'll go find some herbs nearby to stop the bleeding. You wait for me."
After saying this, he stood up and walked towards the nearby weeds.
Having been hunting with Yan Ersheng in the mountains for a long time, Yan Wen knew which common herbs had the effect of stopping bleeding. He quickly found the herbs and rushed back.
He took out the sword from his waist, spread the veil on the ground, and chopped the grass into fine pieces with a knife.
"It will hurt a little when you apply it, please bear with it."
He carefully applied the herbs to the wound, tore off a strip of fine cotton from the hem of his white undershirt, and wrapped the wound layer by layer.
After treating the wound, he checked Xu Shuangxue's already red and swollen ankle.
"The bones have been misaligned. I can't fix this. You have to wait until you get back and ask my little sister to help you fix it."
Xu Shuangxue turned her face away from him, as if she didn't want to say another word to him.
Yan Wen turned around and patted his back: "You lie on my back, and I will carry you up."
Xu Shuangxue teased: "Mr. Yan, it's not right for men and women not to be intimate with each other. What's more, you are about to get engaged to another girl. If the girl knows that you and I have been alone in the mountains, what will the girl think? You? Just go and tell Sister Shu'er my whereabouts and ask her to rescue me."
Yan Wen said helplessly: "I won't go see you. I admit that I am a coward. Because I am afraid that I will not be able to give you happiness, and that you will live a hard life with me, I refuse you again and again, and I have failed to live up to your love for me. I thought about it all night last night, and I couldn't marry her against my will."
After saying this, Yan Wen turned around and squatted in front of Xu Shuangxue, his eyes full of burning affection.
"Miss Xu, you are a girl with so much courage. I shouldn't be timid and think too much. My second and third brothers are right. I should work hard for our future instead of doing nothing. I gave up this idea. Are you willing to give me another chance?"
Xu Shuangxue felt that her heartbeat was beating rapidly at this moment.
"Do you really want to marry me?"
Yan Wen smiled and said: "As long as you don't dislike me for being poor, I can only say that it is a good thing that my ancestors have accumulated good deeds for me to marry you."
Xu Shuangxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Sister Shu'er's cruel trick really worked.
"That hook, what you said cannot be changed easily."
Yan Wen let go of the burden in his heart, and when facing Xu Shuangxue, he lost the previous pressure. He stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Xu Shuangxue's.
"I will go to Xu Mansion to propose marriage as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, my elder brother very much agrees with us being together. We should inform him of this matter in advance, and he will handle the rest for us."
If Yan Wen really goes to the Xu Mansion to propose marriage, Mrs. Xu will embarrass him if he fails to protect her. As long as her brother agrees to her marriage, she doesn't care at all about the attitudes of other people.
What's more, my brother is so smart, he must have a way to refuse the Zhao family's marriage.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
