Chapter 619
Qiao Wan felt something was wrong!
He tried to jump away halfway, but was caught by the horse's reins. He, the horse and the cart rolled twice and fell into the river which was two or three feet deep.
During this time, Jin Fuyun only had time to exclaim, "Qiao Er, save me!"
The river was not shallow, about one person deep, but it could have crashed into the carriage, and the scene was terrifying enough.
Jin Fuyun was hit so hard in the carriage that she was dizzy and had fainted before she fell into the water.
Qiao Wan was conscious, but as soon as he fell into the river, he was pressed to the bottom of the water by the struggle of the frightened horse.
He tried to break free, but the river water in October was freezing cold. The horse was tied to the carriage by the reins and choked in the water, and the four hooves flew out and kicked him.
Without noticing, Qiao Wan was kicked on the head with great force, and he was instantly silenced.
By the time the farmers on the mountain rushed down the mountain and swam to the river, they only dragged the unconscious Jin Fuyun out of the carriage.
"Are you still alive?"
Three or five farmers gathered around and asked at the same time.
"Fainted."
One of them boldly touched his breath.
"Is he dead?"
"I touched my nose and there was still breath."
"My goodness, she looks like the daughter of a wealthy family. What should we do?"
It was unknown how long it had passed before Jin Fuyun woke up. When she saw the gray sky, she knew she had saved her life, but she felt a piercing pain in her calf. She stood up, covered her leg, and groaned.
The breeze blew directly at him, making the situation even worse. Jin Fuyun was shivering from the cold.
"Girl, where are you from?"
Jin Fuyun curled up and sat on the river bank. She looked up at the farmer who rescued her and said in a soft voice, "Uncle, where is my driver?"
Coachman?
One of the farmers pointed to the river and said, "The horse is crushed to death under the water. It's too heavy and we are too weak to pull it."
what?
Jovan is dead! ?
Jin Fuyun's eyes were immediately filled with tears. She choked and said, "Uncle, can't you rescue her? Please go down and have a look again."
After saying this, he took off the only remaining gold hairpin on his head and handed it to the leader.
The man didn't dare to take it, so he just said carefully, "Girl, he's really gone. We saw him first, and then we saved you."
Jin Fuyun felt like crying but had no tears at this moment.
How did such a disaster suddenly happen?
After a long time, Jin Fuyun finally realized that she had to send a letter to the mansion. She handed over the hairpin again and said, "Uncle, please go to the Princess Hong'an's villa in the capital and tell the gatekeeper that their eldest daughter has fallen into the water and asks for a carriage to rescue her as soon as possible."
The farmer scratched his head.
"My dear, young lady, you are the daughter of a princess. With such wealth and status, do you have a maidservant following you?"
"I was in a hurry to go out today..." She swallowed the fact that she didn't bring her maid with her.
Jin Fuyun had several blood blisters on his head. After he recovered, he felt a piercing pain.
Jin Fuyun had not suffered such hardship for many years. He felt dizzy and didn't know what to do.
The farmer looked up at the sky and said, "Well! Then I'll take my second son with me for a trip." Jin Fuyun expressed his gratitude, but when he thought about the fact that Qiao Wan was dead and there was no news from Yu Cheng, he felt dizzy and gloomy.
After about two or three hours, Jin Fuyun's clothes were dried, and the farmer who reported the news came back with the boy.
"My lady, are you talking about the wrong place?"
Jin Fuyun was sore all over, cold and hungry. He was sitting on the side of the road with two farmers. When he heard this, he immediately looked up and said, "Of course not! Have you reached the door?"
The man nodded immediately.
"But there is a teahouse at the front door and the back door?"
Jin Fuyun nodded, "That's right. The plaque on the gate also says Princess' Courtyard. Didn't you find it, uncle?"
The man was dejected and hadn't said anything yet. The waiter next to him was filled with righteous indignation. "My father and I went to the front gate, and the gatekeeper came out and started to curse us, saying that their eldest daughter was in the mansion and had never left. If my father and I said anything nonsense again, he would break our legs."
Jin Fuyun was stunned at this moment, realizing that she had sneaked out.
Jin Yunfan had received his father's secret letter at some point, and he became more strict in his supervision of Jin Fuyun. The visit to Mr. Jiang Qu, which had been planned long ago, was delayed for several days before the opportunity was found.
At this moment, Pan Xi was pretending to be herself in her room, drawing a maid serving beside her.
I sneaked out this morning, and only Qiao Wan, I, and three maids knew about it.
Jin Fuyun was speechless and choked. The boy continued, "My father and I felt that we should be loyal to people who entrusted us with things, so we went to the back door, knocked on it, and explained the reason. The woman in the kitchen said to report inside, but not long after, the door opened, and three or five men came out and arrested my father and me to question us..."
At this point, Xiao Erzi's face was filled with tears.
"I'm young, so it's no problem for me. But my father was kicked in the waist. I'm afraid his internal organs were injured. He was screaming in pain all the way."
Jin Fuyun's face was full of shame and helplessness.
He had no choice but to ask them to melt their gold hairpins and exchange them for silver to treat the illness.
She also took off her earrings and gave one to each of the other two farmers who were guarding her. As a result, she had no valuable items on her body.
When I went out this morning, I did take a lot of valuable jewelry.
The farmers pushed and shoved for a while before they took it. "Girl, it's noon now. If you don't have a place to go, it will be dark soon, and it will be even worse then."
Jin Fuyun was cold, hungry, and had an injured foot. He was completely at a loss.
The farmers suggested, "Why don't you come to our house?"
Jin Fuyun didn't dare to do that. She pointed to the village where Jiang Qu was and asked about the distance. The farmer groaned, "Miss, it's still far away. The autumn rains have washed away the roads recently. We have to take a detour, which is about ten miles longer. The main thing is that we don't have a carriage, so we can't get there in a short time."
I feel like crying but I have no tears!
Jin Fuyun was alone and had stayed in this valley for most of the day. If it weren't for her usual strong character, she would have panicked.
After pondering for a moment, she finally decided to coax four people to make a simple stretcher and send her into the city.
"As long as you take me into the city, I will give you a large reward, thirty taels of silver each." A large reward will always attract brave men. The four farmers gathered together, and the father and son who had just received the golden hairpin bowed and said, "We will not go. It is really too difficult to walk back and forth twice."
The remaining two, although a little thin, should be able to carry Jin Fuyun.
Thirty taels of silver, that’s not enough!
The family should hold on tightly together and have enough to eat for a year. Such occasional accidents don't happen every now and then.
But the two men whispered, "Girl, if we carry you into the city now, I'm afraid the city gate will be locked when we come back, and we can't leave the city--"
Jin Fuyun immediately promised again that after sending her to the princess's mansion, she would definitely give her five taels of silver to stay in a hotel, or allow her to stay in the princess's mansion.
After discussing it, the two agreed to make the stretcher first.
