However, Shui Anluo, who was rather magnanimous, did not have the courage to retaliate against Chu Ningyi. All she could do was to lower her head and act like a young wife.
Chu Ningyi realized that scolding her was equivalent to hitting cotton. This girl loves to act obedient on the outside but, deep down, who knew how badly she was cursing back at him.
Chu Ningyi helped her to the other side. “Show me where you were hurt.”
“I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go,” Shui Anluo cried out loudly as she tugged Chu Ningyi and refused to let him walk toward the tree where the dead snake was hanging.
Chu Ningyi looked down and stared at her coolly.
Shui Anluo pursed her lips and released his arm. She watched him walk over and pull out the dagger. The green snake thumped onto the ground and its blood spattered all over the green grass and leaves, tainting them with a black tinge.
Shui Anluo shivered. Chu Ningyi wiped the blood from the dagger, put it away and walked over to bend down with his back against Shui Anluo. “Get on.”
Shui Anluo leaned on his back and softly murmured, “I saved someone.”
Chu Ningyi scoffed icily, “So you’re full of glory now?”
Shui Anluo heard the icy tone in his voice and simply lay on his back without another word. She felt aggrieved, it had not been easy for her and she had been looking forward to his arrival. However, if he was not scolding her, he would treat her aggressively instead as if he did not care whether she had been afraid or not.
Even though Shui Anluo was grumbling about Chu Ningyi internally, she tightened her grip around his neck.
Chu Ningyi carried her upward, not downhill.
“Chu Ningyi, put me down.” Shui Anluo suddenly remembered something and quickly patted him on the back. After he had let her down with a frown on his face, she rolled up her mud-soaked trousers and revealed an extremely bruised calf.
Chu Ningyi squatted down and furrowed his brows.
Shui Anluo pointed at the bruise on her calf. “Someone threw a rock and hit my leg. That’s how I fell.”
Once Shui Anluo finished speaking, Chu Ningyi’s body was enveloped by a cold aura. He reached out and stroked the bruise on her leg.
“I’m telling the truth but I don’t know which of these bruises had been caused by that rock,” Shui Anluo urged anxiously as if she was afraid Chu Ningyi would not believe her.
That person had been too intelligent. As it was a landslide, even if something had happened to her, no one would be able to tell that someone had schemed against her.
Chu Ningyi’s cold hand remained on her calf and his eyes carried an icy cold aura.
A short while later, Chu Ningyi got up again. He carried Shui Anluo on his back and calmly said, “Of course I believe you, I’ll investigate this matter.”
Shui Anluo wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and nodded. “How did you find me?”
“I followed the landslide and saw the fallen tree.” Chu Ningyi’s voice was as indifferent as ever but he scoffed coldly again, “Wasn’t Mo Lusu tagging along? Where was he?”
Shui Anluo shuddered. Why does Director Chu sound so bitter about it?
“How did you know that I was with Senior Brother?” Shui Anluo held onto him tightly and asked in a small voice.
Chu Ningyi scoffed again.
Shui Anluo’s body shook. Director Chu scoffing like this… Did not feel right at all.
However, for Director Chu to have found her through the broken tree, that meant that Director Chu had not come alone. Those people would have probably gone downstream to search for the others as well.
“Those two military officers who had been washed away, I don’t think they were more than seventeen to eighteen years old,” Shui Anluo murmured into his ear.
Chu Ningyi’s body stiffened. He propped her up a little bit as he carried her and continued to walk up the mountain. His voice had an all too subtle helplessness. “It’s normal. This is what they’d have to do in the face of disaster.”
