Chapter 858: Saving Someone but Being Wrongly Accused

Liu Xiaoyu and others were still guarding the border crossing.

At the same time, in the deep and secluded prison, Wang Hu curled up in a damp corner.

"Brother jailer," Wang Hu said hoarsely, breaking the dull silence of the cell, "Can you give me some books to read?"

The jailer was carrying a food bucket to deliver food to each cell. He was stunned when he heard this request. He turned his head to look at Wang Hu, and saw that his eyes, which were once full of ferocity, were now full of desire.

The jailer hesitated for a moment, thinking that this request was not too much, so he agreed: "Okay, but you have to be honest."

Not long after, several yellowed books were handed into the cell. Wang Hu picked up one with trembling hands, and his rough fingers stroked the pages of the book, as if touching the long-lost hope.

He opened the book, and at first the words swayed in front of his eyes like tadpoles. He had not read for a long time, and his mind was very dull.

But gradually, he immersed himself in it, and followed the stories in the book with joy or sorrow.

There are the ways of dealing with the world of the ancient wise men, the strategies and arrangements for marching and fighting, and knowledge is like a warm current, slowly flowing into his barren heart, which makes this cold prison cell a little lively.

That day, Amas rushed to Shi Daming's house in a hurry. Before he could stand still, he grabbed Shi Daming's arm and asked: "You are back to the Central Plains again. Is it possible that the princess is really fine?"

Shi Daming nodded solemnly, pulled Amas to sit down, and told him all the inside stories he had worked hard to find out.

After speaking, Shi Daming frowned, looked directly into Amas' eyes, and said earnestly: "In the future, you should be more careful when doing things, and you must confirm repeatedly, and don't jump to conclusions easily."

Amas looked ashamed and lowered his head and stammered.

"Indeed, I was too careless. I will be cautious in the future and never act rashly without understanding the situation."

At this time, Shi Daming's woman brought a plate of fresh fruits, moved lightly, and gently advised: "Eat some fruits first to relax your mood."

The fruits on the plate were attractive in color and plump, adding a touch of bright color in this depressing moment.

But Armas just glanced at it quickly, his heart full of anxiety like a surging tide, how could he have the mind to taste the sweetness, he raised his hand slightly to block it, and said in a muffled voice: "Thank you, I can't eat it."

After that, he didn't stop for a moment and strode out the door.

Shi Daming looked at Armas's hurriedly leaving back, shook his head helplessly, turned to the woman beside him and said: "Forget it, he doesn't have the mind to eat, why don't we eat it ourselves."

As he said, he reached out and picked up a fruit from the plate and rubbed it in his hand for a few times.

That day, Xiyu was riding a horse when suddenly the wind started to blow. The gusts of wind whistled and swept over, as if to draw everything between heaven and earth into its vortex.

The willow trees around were also shaking violently, their branches seemed to be pulled and danced wildly by countless invisible hands.

The tree trunks trembled violently in the wind, making a "woohoo" sound, as if groaning in pain. The leaves were torn off piece by piece by the wind, swirling in the air, and then thrown into the distance, like a green rainstorm.

Xiyu pulled the reins, squinted his eyes, and saw through the air that was a little chaotic due to the wind, that in such bad weather, there were actually quite a few people gathered by the river ahead.

Those figures were shadowy in the wind, some seemed to be whispering, and some were pointing at the river, revealing an unusual and weird energy.

Xiyu was full of doubts. He thought to himself that in such bad weather, there were so many people gathered by the river. Could something have happened?

Driven by curiosity, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, shouted softly, and drove the horse slowly towards the river, wanting to find out what was going on.

As the distance gradually shortened, the appearance and movements of the people by the river became clearer, but at the same time, an inexplicable sense of tension also quietly spread in Xiyu's heart.

The wind became more and more shrill. Xiyu got off the horse and walked quickly into the crowd. He saw a woman lying on the ground with a pale face, her wet hair scattered in a mess, her eyes closed, and her life or death was uncertain.

A four or five-year-old child beside him cried heartbreakingly, holding the corner of the woman's clothes tightly with his little hands, and shouting "mother" indistinctly.

Xiyu's heart tightened, and he quickly squatted down, touching the woman's neck with his fingers. Feeling a weak pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the villagers around him: "What on earth is going on?"

An old man sighed, stepped forward and said: "I don't know what happened today, she suddenly jumped into the river. Fortunately, she was found early and was salvaged, but she has been unconscious."

The crying of the child tugged at Xiyu's heart. He looked around and saw that everyone was helpless and compassionate, but there was nothing they could do.

At that moment, Xiyu thought for a while and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone help carry her to a sheltered place first, and try to wake her up."

The villagers heard it and hurriedly carried the woman into a nearby abandoned hut.

Xiyu lit a pile of dry firewood to warm up the house.

He gently comforted the child: "Don't be afraid, your mother will be fine."

The child blinked his tearful eyes and nodded as if he understood.

Everyone gathered around, their eyes flickering between Xiyu and the unconscious woman on the ground. Someone looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Young man, are you a doctor?" Xiyu shook his head gently, and the crowd was in an uproar, with voices of surprise coming one after another.

"You're not a doctor? Then how dare you save people? This is not a joke!" A burly man widened his eyes, his face full of distrust.

Others also echoed, whispering among each other with worries and doubts, fearing that Xiyu's unclear rescue would harm the woman.

Xi Yu stood up, with a calm look on his face, and slowly swept his eyes across the crowd, saying loudly: "Fellow folks, I will explain the reason for this later. It is important to save people right now. Please stop worrying about my identity. I I guarantee with my life that I will be able to save her.”

After that, he squatted down and continued the movements of his hands, ignoring everyone's comments.

Although everyone still had doubts, seeing how determined he was, they couldn't say anything more. They could only hold their breath and wait, their eyes tightly locked on Xi Yu's every move. For a while, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hut, except for the child. The occasional sob echoed softly.

The wind howled outside the house, but the atmosphere inside the house was like a tight string.

Xi Yu had no time to take into account everyone's surprise. Seeing the woman's dying breath, the first aid knowledge he had learned in his previous life suddenly emerged in his mind.

Without thinking too much, he quickly adjusted the woman's position and prepared to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He folded his hands and pressed on the woman's chest, once, twice...

Just as he was preparing to perform artificial respiration, the crowd instantly exploded.

"How could this young man do such a dirty thing!" An old man was so angry that his beard trembled. He picked up the crutch in his hand and pointed at Yu Yu angrily.

"That's right, to do this to an unconscious woman in public must be something evil!" A middle-aged woman also shouted, and the curses from the crowd surged towards Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was so anxious that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he had to stop his movements temporarily. He raised his head, looked around, and defended loudly: "Folks, I am saving her life! If not, her life may not be saved!"

But the angry crowd refused to listen to his explanation and pressed forward step by step. The child was so frightened that he cried. In the chaos, the weak vitality seemed to be passing by little by little. Xi Yu was in a desperate situation and didn't know how to make everyone believe it. Own.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, several young and strong young men clenched their fists and approached Xi Yu with fierce looks on their faces, shouting: "Stop now, don't do these dirty things again." What a shameful means! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude to you!”

Xi Yu frowned, his eyes full of anxiety and helplessness. He straightened up and responded loudly: "Fellow folks, I implore you to calm down first and wait for a while. If this method is used, this eldest sister will not wake up. "Whatever you want to do with me then, I will never complain!"

But everyone still refused to give up. A woman put her hands on her hips and spat with disdain: "Hmph, that's easy to say. If you take advantage of someone else, if someone doesn't wake up, then this woman's innocence will be compromised." But it’s ruined, how can we let you do whatever you want!”

The people around him also nodded and started making noises, insisting that Xi Yu stop immediately. They didn't give Xi Yu a chance to explain anymore, and saw the situation getting more and more out of control.

The condition of the unconscious woman became more and more critical. Xi Yu was worried, but she didn't know how to convince these stubborn villagers.

Xi Yu was really forced to do nothing. He no longer hesitated and shouted lowly. In an instant, several black shadows quickly flashed out from the darkness and landed steadily in front of everyone. They were Xi Yu's secret guards.

The secret guards all have tall and straight postures, stern faces, and an aura about them that no one dares to underestimate.

One of them took a step forward, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Everyone, my master only wants to save people. Although the method he uses seems unreasonable, it is indeed a method that can save lives. I hope you will not stop it, otherwise you will make a mistake. This woman’s life is too much to regret.”

Everyone was startled at first. They were frightened by the sudden appearance of the secret guard and took several steps back. Their eyes were full of fear and surprise, and their whispers became louder.

"This little brother looks ordinary. I didn't expect there to be such a powerful person around me. Could he be some big shot?" A young junior muttered in a low voice.

"Hmph, who knows what he is really worried about? How can he blow on a woman's mouth to save someone? I have never seen such a rare thing in my life." An old man frowned. , full of doubts, still insisting on his own ideas.

Although everyone did not dare to rush forward to stop him, the suspicion and dissatisfaction still filled the air, and pairs of eyes were still staring at Xi Yu and the woman on the ground, as if they wanted to see what happened.

Xi Yu saw that everyone was still wary but still had doubts, so he decided to speed up the action without further delay.

He took a deep breath, and the first aid knowledge he had learned in his previous life appeared more and more clearly in his mind. Every step and every point seemed to be engraved in his heart.

He leaned down again and pressed the woman's chest rhythmically with both hands, once and again, with precise and steady force. Then he pinched the woman's nose and blew slowly into her mouth. He repeated this step, all in one go, without any hesitation. .

Everyone around held their breath and watched intently. The whole room was so quiet that only Xiyu's nervous breathing and the child's occasional sobs were left.

Just when everyone's hearts were in their throats, suddenly, the woman coughed out a breath, and then slowly opened her eyes, which were confused at first, and then gradually became focused.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Someone in the crowd shouted. Everyone was stunned, and then there was an uproar. The villagers who were originally full of doubts about Xi Yu now had expressions of disbelief and confusion on their faces. With a slightly ashamed look.

Originally, the child had been standing by her side, her eyes red and swollen from crying, her little fists clenched tightly, and her heart full of fear and helplessness.

At this moment, when I saw my mother, she slowly opened her eyes, and the dim eyes burst out with bright light. The gloom on her face was swept away, replaced by pure joy.

"Mom, you finally woke up!" the little guy shouted, and he couldn't wait to open his arms, and like a baby swallow returning to the nest, he threw himself into his mother's arms.

His little body pressed tightly against his mother, and his head kept rubbing into her arms, as if to confirm that this was not a dream.

The mother's eyes were full of love and care. She gently stroked the child's head with trembling hands, and her voice was a little weak: "Good boy, mother is here, don't be afraid..."

As he spoke, tears overflowed from his eyes, and he hugged the child and cried.

When the surrounding villagers saw this scene, their original doubts and dissatisfaction completely dissipated. Their eyes looking at Xi Yu were full of admiration and gratitude, and the hut was filled with the warmth of the aftermath of the disaster.

At this time, the woman seemed to have just recovered from the chaos, and slowly let go of the child. Her eyes were full of confusion and surprise. She raised her hand to touch her forehead and murmured to herself: "By the way, why am I not dead?"

When the child heard this, his eyes turned red again. He held his mother's clothes tightly with his little hands and complained in a crying voice: "Mom, why did you jump into the river? It scared me to death. Do you not want me anymore?" "

Childish words are like small hammers, hitting a woman's heart.

Seeing this scene, everyone was busy explaining. An aunt came forward, pointed at Xi Yu and said: "Sister, it was this strong man who saved you! You jumped into the river at that time, and everyone fished you out, but you were unconscious. If it hadn't been for this strong man who used If you use some special method, your life will be lost."

Others nodded in agreement, their eyes full of approval for Xi Yu.

The woman's eyes were dull. Instead of thanking Xi Yu as everyone expected, she stared straight at him and asked, "Why did you save me? I've lived enough. This miserable life is endless, so I might as well end it all."

Her voice was filled with deep despair, as if there was nothing worth loving in the world.

When the child heard this, he cried even louder, his little body shaking non-stop, crying and shouting: "Mom, what should I do if you die? Don't you want me anymore?"

The heart-wrenching cry made everyone around him feel heartbroken.

Xi Yu frowned, looking at the mother and son, feeling distressed and helpless. He took a step forward, locked eyes with the woman, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care if you don't appreciate it, but look at this child, are you really Can you bear to leave him? He is still so young. What will happen in the future without a mother? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children. "

The woman's body trembled suddenly, and her eyes slowly moved to the child. Seeing the tears and fear on the child's face, the determination in her eyes began to loosen, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but was choked by tears. throat.

After a long time, she stretched out her hand, took the child into her arms again, and sobbed silently.

Xi Yu looked at the mother and son who were holding each other's arms and crying, and sighed heavily.

In this sigh, there was compassion for the woman's rough fate, but also relief that she had changed her mind.

The surrounding villagers were also talking about it. A gray-haired old man shook his head and sighed: "The world is difficult. How hard it was to get to this point."

"Who says it's not? Thanks to this strong man, if it weren't for him, this child would have become an orphan." A young junior answered, looking at Xi Yu with eyes filled with admiration.

"But how will the mother and son live together in the future?" An aunt looked worried, looking back and forth at the mother and son with worried eyes.

The woman hugged the child tightly, her shoulders shaking slightly, and her emotions slowly calmed down.

With Xi Yu's question echoing in her mind, she looked at her crying son in her arms, her eyes blurred by tears again: Yes, if Zhenyi dies, what should her son do? How could I be so selfish when I was alone and suffering in this world.

She slowly let go of the child, stood up and walked towards Xi Yu, her legs still trembling weakly.

Standing in front of Xi Yu, the woman bowed deeply and bowed.

"My benefactor, thank you for saving me and my child. I did something stupid today and almost caused a disaster."

When he raised his head, his face was full of regret and gratitude, "I can't repay you for your great kindness."

Xi Yu hurriedly supported her and said softly: "Sister, don't say that. There is hope when you are alive. If you have difficulties in the future, just speak up."

The woman nodded repeatedly, with the hope of life rekindled in her eyes. The child beside her seemed to feel the change in her mother, stopped crying, held her mother's hand tightly with her little hand, and nestled beside her.

At this moment, although the dilapidated house is cold, it feels warm due to this glimmer of hope.

Xi Yu looked at the woman, his eyes full of concern and curiosity, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Sister, why on earth did you come to this point and insist on seeking death?"

When the woman heard this, she let out another long sigh. There was endless sadness and helplessness hidden in that sigh.

She looked around, hesitated for a moment and then said: "My dear friend, this is a long story. I would also like to ask everyone to go out first. I want to talk to you alone. Let the children go out too." Although her voice was soft, it was Revealing determination that cannot be refused.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Although they were doubtful, seeing the woman's persistence, they turned around and walked out of the house one after another.

The child was a little reluctant, pulling on the corner of his mother's clothes and whispering: "Mom, I won't leave, I want to be with you."

The woman squatted down, gently touched the child's head and coaxed him: "Good boy, mother will talk to her benefactor for a while and will be out soon. You go out and play with your uncles and aunts first." (End of this chapter)
