C158 A Flat Tire

A vast expanse of white. A sense of weightlessness swept over. Mu Ruqing tried her best to open her thick eyelids. What she saw was only the stone cliff that was getting further and further away, and Yu Longchen.

Yu Longchen! Her mind went blank for a while before she thought of why Yu Longchen was here. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

Mu Ruqing fell diagonally, her head looking down. Yu Longchen's entire body was in an upside-down position, so that he could grab Mu Ruqing. His hand kept reaching out, touching Mu Ruqing's clothes, but he couldn't grab her.

When he was in the air, his body could not use any strength, so he could only use all his strength to reach out his hand. Finally, he grabbed Mu Ruqing and tightly hugged her as if she was in his embrace.

Mu Ruqing had long since seen Yu Longchen's face, so she was so anxious that she fainted. Her heart was filled with Yu Longchen. Why was he so stupid? You should not have come.

It took a lot of effort to turn around in the air. Yu Longchen finally switched Mu Ruqing to the top so that when she was hit by something, he could use his own body to protect her.

He spoke very slowly, but in fact, the two of them only fell for a while.

There was no stream or lake at the bottom of the cliff. There was only a thick layer of fog. Under the fog was a dense forest. The trees were different, growing on the steep slope of the capital.

They were getting closer and closer. Yu Longchen could only forcefully turn his head to see the top of the trees next to him.

Seeing the trees close to the cliff cut across his back, Yu Longchen took out his right hand and placed it in the air. His left hand tightly wrapped around Mu Ruqing's waist.

"Swish!" Yu Longchen was hit by the leaf hard. He felt a sharp pain from his back. He slightly turned his body to grab something to reduce the impact of falling.

"Swish! Swish! Swish! The sound became louder and louder, from intermittent to continuous. Yu Longchen did not know how many wounds he had been cut by tree branches. He did not know how many tree branches as thick as a sword hilt he had broken off.

The shape of his right sleeve could no longer be seen. There was only a bloody arm. He did not know pain. He only had to protect the person in his arms.

Because of the impact, layers of impact reduced the impact of the two people. Yu Longchen slowly changed his body from standing to standing. Only then did he have the confidence to land on the ground and not hurt Mu Ruqing.

He was getting closer and closer to the ground. Yu Longchen gathered his strength on his right palm and grabbed the nearest tree branch.

The tree branch was as thick as his arm. His right hand had grabbed it, but under such a strong falling force, how could he not move at all? His palm left the tree branch again. There were four scratches and blood stains on the tree branch.

The two continued to fall. Yu Longchen bared his teeth. As the saying went, ten fingers connected the heart. This was the type of pain he felt, right? Fortunately, he already felt that the force of the fall was slow. Just like this, after a few more tries, he would be able to steadily land.

This cycle repeated several times. Yu Longchen once again changed his posture, his back facing the ground. His trembling right hand hugged Mu Ruqing and pressed her head into his embrace.

"Bang! Both of them landed heavily on the ground. Yu Longchen gasped in pain. Before he could say anything, he rolled down the slope again.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Yu Longchen's mind: to ensure Mu Ruqing's safety. During the spinning process, Mu Ruqing's clothes only touched the ground and were stained with dirt.

The pain of hitting a tree and pressing down on rocks left marks on every inch of Yu Longchen's skin.

"Swoosh!"

The sound of breaking branches could be heard for a long time after crashing into a dense shrub. The two of them finally stopped.

Yu Longchen lay on the shrub and let out a sigh of relief. He did not dare to let go of Mu Ruqing's hand. He was afraid that the two of them would fall down again.

He used his left hand to pull the shrubbery. He turned his head and looked down. It was still a slope. Yu Longchen moved his leg and felt that it did not belong to him anymore. He stood up slightly and placed Mu Ruqing on the shrubbery. He blocked her from falling down.

He looked around and saw the flat ground not far away. He got up.

He did not care about the big and small wounds on his body. He stepped on the shrubbery, picked Mu Ruqing up, and carefully stepped on the slippery ground. It took him a few minutes.

"Qing?" Yu Longchen looked at the unconscious Mu Ruqing and touched her shoulder and called out a few times.

The weak pulse, shallow breathing, and cold body temperature scared Yu Longchen. He ignored his wound and tore off the fabric in front of him that was still considered complete and replaced the fabric that was stained with blood on Mu Ruqing's legs and back.

He found wood from the side, but there was nothing to start a fire, so he could only use the most primitive method - drilling wood to start a fire.

Yu Longchen used a hand without complete skin and his left hand to rub the wooden stick back and forth. Not a single blow was torture, but he could not stop.

"Stop talking."

Yu Longchen was a little happy when the fire started. He carried Mu Ruqing over. He leaned on his shoulder and muttered to himself, "Do you think this is fate? Last time in the wilderness, you saved me and helped me find food and herbs. Now it's my turn to pay you back. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life loving you. Love you. Wait for me, while there's still sunlight, I'll go around looking for herbs and food. Don't worry, your man will be back soon. Don't worry."

Looking at Mu Ruqing's serene face, her eyes were complicated. She pinched her fingers and did not dare to stay too far away from Mu Ruqing. She only looked around.

There was no food. He only needed some medicine to stop the bleeding and prevent inflammation. These were all learned in the military when he was in the army.

"Qing, look." Yu Longchen placed the herbs in front of Mu Ruqing, who had not woken up yet. His tone carried the anger of a child. "Your man is very powerful. Wake up and give me a reward."

He crushed the herbal medicine and applied it on Mu Ruqing. He still did not see Mu Ruqing wake up. His eyes were covered with a layer of fog.

Before he could feel sad, he saw blood flowing between Mu Ruqing's legs. He was shocked and quickly stood up and squatted down. The tears in his eyes finally condensed into tears. Drops hit Mu Ruqing's fingers and diluted the blood on her hands...

When Mu Ruqing woke up, she found herself lying in Yu Longchen's arms. He did not sleep and when he saw Mu Ruqing wake up, he was as happy as a child, hugging Mu Ruqing and unwilling to let go.

"Yu Longchen." When Mu Ruqing opened her mouth, she was shocked by her own voice. Why did she sound like an old woman?

"I'm here." Yu Longchen finally heard her voice and kissed her crazily on her face in excitement.

"Wait... wait..." Mu Ruqing struggled to push him away and wanted to sit up. Only then did she realize that she had no strength all over her body. It was a problem even if she raised her hand. The fire shone on her face.

Yu Longchen caressed her cheek. Hmm, her body temperature rose a little. "Is it still cold?"

It was already night time. From time to time, the sound of insects chirping could be heard in the air.

Mu Ruqing shook her head. When it entered her nose, there was a thick smell of blood. She frowned and felt uneasy. "Where are your injuries? Let me take a look."

"No, no. Your man is not that easy to get hurt." Yu Longchen withdrew his right hand and hid it in Mu Ruqing's clothes.

Mu Ruqing smelled the blood on her clothes. Yu Longchen had already brought Mu Ruqing to a different place. They left the place where the first child was buried. The child was gone and they could not tell her yet. She was afraid that she could not bear it.

"Qing, I am so afraid..." Yu Longchen moved his lips and was so sad that he wanted to cry. It was because I did not protect you and the child well. I swear that there will never be a next time.

"Silly, didn't I live well?" Mu Ruqing slightly raised her head to look at him and comforted him, "It was I who implicated you. Why did you jump down? If something happened, even if I die, I will not forgive myself."

"Then let's use a rope to tie them together in the future." Yu Longchen touched her head, "This way we can be separated..."

"Okay..."
