Jiaohua

Chapter 22 I'm Scared
Xiaowu likes to listen to Xiaorong about everything, and when even Xiaorong can't make up his mind about something, Xiaowu will be particularly negative and desperate.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the time has passed half a column of incense. The people at the Dragon Tiger Hall should have been impatient long ago. Perhaps the one who urged his life was on his way.

Xiaowu looked down at the mountain stream, it was pitch black, like a pair of secluded eyes staring straight at him.

And this wind is the roar of this beast.

"Sister," Xiao Wu said sadly, "I'm afraid."

The girls' faces were all pale from the night wind, Xiaorong took a step closer to Xiaowu, and the arm holding the wine jar slightly hooked Xiaowu, which was a kind of comfort.

"What is she going to do?" said a girl next to her in confusion.

All the girls looked back to the other side of the compound.

At the other end of the Northeast Stream, a thin and petite figure was limping, walking with his head down and a small step.

"It's Ari." Xiao Wu said softly.

A Li's hair was a little disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and there was a lot of yellow mud behind his back, and the small knee of his trousers had a big gap.

Holding a wooden box in her hand, she walked in a trance, looking thoughtful and anxious.

When she got closer, she raised her head and stopped when she saw the group of girls looking at her.

"Ali." Xiao Wu shouted, but Xiao Rong reached out his hand and tried to stop it.

"Xiaowu." Xia Zhaoyi also called.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Xiao Wu looked at the wooden box in her hand.

Xia Zhaoyi shook her head guiltily and uneasily: "It's nothing."

In the center of the compound, the servants who noticed the movement looked over, Yu Ma was taken aback, and recognized that the wooden box was specially prepared by her and wanted Ali to send it to Lianping.

how to send now.

Yu's mother wiped her hands and prepared to go over, but the cloth skirt was pulled by a dark little hand: "Yu's mother."

Mother Yu lowered her head.

Qian Qianqian raised his eyes and looked at her: "Mother Yu, my stomach hurts."

With Xiaowu's suspicious gaze, Ali walked forward, quickly bypassing a group of girls holding a wine jar, and stepped onto the stone bridge.

"Ali." Xiao Wu called again.

Xiaorong grabbed her and whispered, "Don't."

Ali didn't seem to hear it, and walked directly across the bridge.

The bridge connects the cliffs on both sides, with the back mountain on the west and the front mountain on the east, which are ten feet apart and two feet wide.

Near the cliffs on both sides, there were wooden and stone supports in the shape of a triangle, but due to the age, several supports on the east were hanged up by the wind early, and the bridge near the front mountain also broke down last night.

Several maids stopped what they were doing and looked up at Ali.

The tall maid and the two companions next to her were also looking at her, always feeling that this weird girl wouldn't just rush over in such a silly way.

But she did not stop, she was already halfway there.

The bridge is a little swaying, and every time the wind is slightly stronger, there is an illusion that it is crumbling.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the cracks on the bridge by the light in the distance, and walked slowly to the broken bridge deck.

There is a large pool of water here, which is very slippery. Xia Zhaoyi stopped, and the hearts of the people who looked at her from a distance were hanging.

Sometimes you don't necessarily feel dizzy when you stand at a high place, and you can't breathe when you see others standing on a cliff.

"Is she really stupid or just trying to show off?" the tall maid said in confusion.

The companion next to him shook his head, and one said, "She seems to be afraid."

The girl was a little trembling and stood there all the time, not daring to go forward, but even more afraid to go back.

The wind was blowing loudly, her hair was completely messed up, and the trousers were torn open, and the mountain wind blew her trouser legs fat and bulging.

Xia Zhaoyi lowered her head to look at the cracks at her feet, and finally felt faintly that the soft slumps on the soles of her feet began to sag due to the force.

She retracted her mind, bypassed the small pool where the rain was accumulating, and walked over the narrow bridge next to it.

The sound of the boulders loosening came from behind, and the falling gravel became more and more.

In the eyes of everyone, she walked towards the opposite cliff, limped off the stone bridge, crossed the flat ground, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"She's fine." Xiao Wu said.

"That doesn't mean we'll be fine." A little girl beside her said in fear.

"She's lighter," another girl said, "Anyway, I think this bridge is about to collapse..."

At this time, the dust and sand under the bridge suddenly became like heavy rain, and the gravel was pouring down frantically, and the movement was very loud.

Several girls hugged the wine jar and retreated subconsciously, while the servants stepped forward one after another.

The seemingly unbroken crack finally broke off completely. When the huge bridge body fell down and was about to shoot at the cliff wall of their west mountain, the west bridge deck could not bear the huge force, and it also broke.

With a loud bang, the heavy stone bridge smashed down the mountain stream, the ground trembled violently, and several girls squatted down and let out a low cry.

The little servants who ran to the backyard to urge them almost didn't fall down, and after stabilizing their bodies, they ran faster.

In the Dragon Tiger Hall, Bian Baye, who was discussing future countermeasures, changed his expression greatly and shouted: "What happened, go and see!"

Several dozen people, together with the second masters, took the lead and ran out with knives.

"It's really broken."

Xiaowu stared blankly at the mountain in front of him. Without the stone bridge, the space between the two mountains was terrifying.

"Broken, broken." A girl next to her couldn't hold back her joy, and whispered.

If it breaks, you don't have to go over, and you don't have to be afraid of being punished.

"What's going on?" Aunt Feng finally appeared, strode along with the Liang family, and said hurriedly, "What happened?"

"Broken, Aunt Feng," a girl pointed out the cliff, "the stone bridge has fallen!"

Aunt Feng looked at the cliff, it was empty and very uncomfortable, but it was fine if it was broken, no need to be embarrassed.

At this time, the servants came running across, and they all stopped at the edge of the cliff, looking at the dark mountain stream in horror.

"Broken!" Aunt Feng shouted, "The bridge has fallen!"

The mountain wind was strong, and her sharp voice was blown a little indistinctly.

Several servants looked at each other, and one said, "I'll go tell the eighth master."

"Go quickly."

The servant turned and ran away, and found a girl holding a wooden box standing not far away.

"Don't go back," the boy shouted to the girl casually, "there is no bridge!"

The girl stood a little far from the edge of the cliff, looking at the cliff, ignoring him.

The little boy had hurried away.

When the little servant ran to the direction of Longhutang and wanted to report to Bian Baye and the others, the area of ​​Chufeng Courtyard and Luoxia Courtyard was also disturbed.

Caiming came in a hurry with Mrs. Bian, and met Bian Yuanfeng and Bian Yuanxue on the way.

Other concubines also came, Bian Lei supported Liu Concubine and called to Madam Bian, "Hello, Madam."

"Let's go," Madam Bian said, "go and have a look."

More and more people came, and they were all blocked in front of the mountain.

The aroma of the food on the opposite side drifted away, and people who had been hungry for a day were about to go crazy with gluttony.
