Under this uneasiness, Wei Ling heard some subtle movements.
The noise was very small. If she wasn’t highly nervous, she wouldn’t have noticed it. When she heard the noise move towards her, Wei Ling said nervously, “Su Xiaoling, is that you?”
Wei Ling looked nervously in the direction of the noise.!!
Su Xiaoling felt that Wei Ling was a little strange, but she didn’t want to answer her, so she ignored Wei Ling’s questions.
Wei Ling’s voice sounded very afraid.
“Su Xiaoling, say something. Su Xiaoling, something is coming at me. Su Xiaoling—
Wei Ling’s heart was almost in her throat. She had never encountered such a terrible situation in her life. Even when she fought the concubines ruthlessly, she was not in such a sorry state.
She had lost and won before. She was a very rational and calm person.
However, in this environment, everything she knew was useless. Facing the unknown, she could not move. She did not know what would come out of the tall grass.
Wei Ling exclaimed and saw Su Xiaoling come out.
Su Xiaoling saw that Wei Ling was still lying motionless on the ground. Her upper body was propped up slightly and her face turned pale.
Su Xiaoling felt that something was wrong. She asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wei Ling’s lips turned pale and her body trembled slightly. She didn’t speak for a moment. There was hatred and unwillingness in her eyes.
Su Xiaoling walked to her side and squatted down to check her pulse. Wei Ling did not move. She closed her eyes.
Su Xiaoling frowned after taking her pulse. Wei Ling’s condition was not good.
Wei Ling saw Su Xiaoling frown and immediately became nervous. She asked nervously, “Are my injuries alright? I’m only temporarily injured. I’ll recover if I’m treated in time, right?”
Wei Ling was too afraid. She couldn’t feel her lower limbs. She was afraid that she would be crippled like Zhou Zhi. At her age, it was impossible for her to have an opportunity like Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi had good opportunities, but he had also been in a wooden wheelchair for so many years.
Thinking that she would be crippled, Wei Ling’s face turned paler.
Being disabled meant that it would be difficult for her to have dignity. If she could not feel her lower body, she would face something even more terrifying than what Zhou Zhi had faced.
Su Xiaoling looked at Wei Ling’s expression and knew that she had been trapped by her mental demons. Su Xiaoling did not comfort her. She took off a wooden hairpin on her head and rotated it at the end. A silver needle stretched out.
She took the hairpin and pressed it on Wei Ling’s leg before inserting the needle.
“Mother, can you feel it?”
Su Xiaoling looked at Wei Ling and asked. Seeing Wei Ling shake her head with a trembling head, she inserted a few more needles.
Finally, she reached a point on her foot. Tears of excitement flowed from the corners of Wei Ling’s eyes as she nodded. “I-I feel it. It hurts.”
Only then did Su Xiaoling heave a sigh of relief and say, “You hurt your waist from the fall. Your meridians are damaged and there’s blood clots inside, so you can’t move for the time being. If you’re lucky, we’ll be out in the next few days. There won’t be any problems with the imperial physician around.”
Wei Ling heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring me out.”
Su Xiaoling did not abandon her. She probably did not dare to do so.
Wei Ling urged Su Xiaoling, hoping that she could bring her out quickly.
However, Su Xiaoling frowned and looked up at the towering trees. She said calmly, “The trees here are dense and weeds are everywhere. We can’t act rashly. Only foreign lands have trees with such strong spiritual energy. If we go in the wrong direction, we’ll stray further and further away from the exit.” Wei Ling’s heart tightened. “Then what should we do? Can we only stay here?”
Wei Ling knew that it was not good to drag it out for too long, so she naturally wanted to go out as soon as possible. From what Su Xiaoling said, it was not easy to go out. Was it really not easy, or did she not want to bring her out quickly?
Wei Ling was very frustrated. Zhou Heng, the son she had protected with so much difficulty, didn’t get close to her when he came back. Instead, he blamed her and got so close to that demon. All these years, the capital had been spreading rumors that they were on good terms.
Wei Ling was very uneasy. Su Xiaoling was Su Xiaolu’s biological sister, and Zhou Zhi was close to Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaoling heard what she said and might want to harm her.
Su Xiaoling didn’t care about what Wei Ling was thinking. She nodded and said,
“Yes, we can only stay where we are and wait for the search and rescue. Before that, we have to find a place to shelter us from the wind and rain. Of course, first, we have to consider getting through tonight safely.”
Su Xiaoling looked at the fading red clouds on the horizon and stood up.
Wei Ling immediately became nervous. “What are you doing?”
Su Xiaoling didn’t look at Wei Ling. She said calmly, “Don’t make a sound here. Wait for me. I’ll go around and see if there’s a suitable place to stay.” With that, Su Xiaoling left.
Wei Ling’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Su Xiaoling’s figure and exclaimed, “Don’t leave. I’m afraid to be here alone. What if a beast comes?” How could he leave her here alone? What if she left and never came back?!
She couldn’t move in this place. The grass was so tall. What if something came?
Su Xiaoling did not look back. Only her heartless voice could be heard. “If Mother is afraid, just look around and see if there are any sharp stones or wooden sticks around you. Take them to boost your courage.”
She didn’t care if Wei Ling was afraid. She only knew that it was getting dark. If she didn’t find a place to stay soon, it would be very dangerous tonight.
Although she had lived a rich life for many years, the past days were engraved in her heart. She remembered how to walk the fastest in the mountains, how to chase away snakes and insects, how to find vines, and how to find a place to stay.
There was thick forest all around. The sky wasn’t dark yet, but the forest was already dark. There was no time. She took some vines and slowly returned.
She walked for an hour. When she returned, the sky was no longer red. The sky was still a little gray, but the forest was completely gray.
She heard Wei Ling crying and cursing.
The sound of her footsteps on the grass made Wei Ling stop. Su Xiaoling stood still.
How could Wei Ling be so vicious? What did this have to do with Zhou Zhi? However, at this moment, she cursed Zhou Zhi to die a horrible death and blamed all of this on Zhou Zhi, saying that Zhou Zhi had cursed her.
But hadn’t she planned all of this herself?
Su Xiaoling had the urge to abandon Wei Ling again.
Wei Ling didn’t have any sense of safety. Why didn’t she attract the jackals and beasts?
Wei Ling had already heard the noise. She stopped cursing and waited for a while, but there was no sound. She endured her fear and said, “Su Xiaoling, is that you? Su Xiaoling, are you back? Don’t scare me. Come out quickly—
Su Xiaoling took a few deep breaths. She did not answer Wei Ling and walked towards her.
Wei Ling knew tnat sne was guilty. Atter seemg su Xiaolmg, sne remained silent. She didn’t know why she was so unlucky..
