Chapter 92: Changing one’s attitude faster than turning the pages of a book

Xie Lan’s eyes widened. She was not dead. Was she rescued?
I thought it was the hammer that saved her.

But when Xie Lan saw that it was a big hand with slender joints that grabbed his ankle, he was stunned.

He looked up and saw a familiar handsome face. He was surprised, “Mr. Xiao?”

At this moment, Xiao Jin was hanging upside down in the air like Xie Lan, with his feet hooked on the bridge surface and his slender and powerful wrists holding Xie Lan’s ankles.

Hearing her shout, Xiao Jin did not respond, but just glanced at her.

Xie Lan’s swaying body finally stopped, but a strong wind blew over the river, blowing her back and forth again.

The upside-down position was uncomfortable, and the swing made Xie Lan even more dizzy. She looked at the big rock in the river with fear and swallowed her dry throat.

He forced a smile and said, “Mr. Xiao, are you okay? I’m about to fall. Could you please take the trouble to rescue me?”

After meeting for several times, Xiao Jin had the impression that Xie Lan was somewhat capable, but she was greedy and lazy. Seeing her rare panic expression at this moment, he blurted out the words.

“Don’t worry, you won’t die even if you fall down. At most you’ll become a fool.”

Xie Lan’s heart choked, and he almost couldn’t help but spit out sweet words.

Forget it, my life is in someone else’s hands. A man who knows the current situation is a hero.

“I didn’t expect that Young Master Xiao is so handsome and has unparalleled martial arts skills. Could you please trouble the handsome, kind and generous Young Master Xiao to save me?”

Xiao Jin snorted secretly. Last time in the woods, this greedy Kun Dao treated him as a big piece of fat meat. Now he knows how to curry favor with him.

Glancing at the little face that was red from the blood flowing back, Xiao Jin was silent and swallowed the sarcasm that was about to come out of his mouth.

He circulated his internal energy, grabbed the ankle with his big hands and lifted it up and swung it.

Xie Lan instantly flew backwards toward the bridge.

Xiao Jin moved quickly and got onto the bridge with just a swing of his waist.

Xie Lan was already dizzy from being hung upside down, and after being pulled like this, he couldn’t help but fall forward as soon as his feet touched the ground.

Xiao Jin didn’t expect that she was so fragile that she couldn’t even stand steadily. Seeing her dizzy and falling towards him, he subconsciously reached out to catch her with both hands.

Xie Lan thought he was going to fall flat on his face this time, but he didn’t expect that his hands were holding on to something.

Feeling something slippery on her palms, she moved faster than she thought and touched it up and down with both hands.

Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the pair of soft hands, which were touching and pinching his chest, and the blue veins on his forehead were throbbing.

“Have you touched enough?”

The cold air blowing in his face startled Xie Lan back to his senses and he shook his dizzy head.

He blinked, finally able to see his own movements clearly.

The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened. She was actually taking advantage of Mr. Xiao? !

Xie Lan whooshed away.

As if touching a hot potato, he withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.

Seeing her guilty gaze evading left and right, the air on the opposite side became three points colder.

Xie Lan shivered from the cold, and gritted his teeth, forcing an awkward smile, “Well, it was a mistake, a mistake.”

As soon as I said this, I felt more and more embarrassed when I thought about how I seemed to have touched and pinched the other person just now.

“Thank you sir for saving my life.”

Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her, “Young lady, are you treating your savior in an indecent way?”

Xie Lan stared, feeling embarrassed and at the same time, he couldn’t help feeling ashamed and angry.

Thinking of how this person had just saved him, he gritted his teeth.

If he hadn’t been so slow in rescuing her just now, causing her to feel dizzy, she wouldn’t have been so dizzy and fumbling around.

“I’m really sorry. I was hanging for too long just now. I was dizzy and couldn’t see clearly. I mistook you for a wall.” Xiao Jin almost laughed out of anger.

When he begged him for help, he was praised as a handsome young man. But as soon as he was saved, he became an old man.

This Kun Dao is not only greedy for money, but he also changes his face faster than turning the pages of a book, which makes him very angry.

I almost wanted to throw her into the river again.

The two were staring at each other when Tiechui hurried over and asked, “Girl, are you hurt?”

Tiechui had just rushed halfway when he saw Xiao Jin grabbing Xie Lan. He was worried that the frightened horse would knock him down as well, so he had to turn back.

Xie Lan shook his head, “It’s okay, it was a close call.”

Tiechui breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Xiao Jin with a fist, “Mr. Xiao, thank you for saving my girl.”

Thinking of the thrilling scene of Xie Lan falling into the river just now, Tiechui felt a little guilty. It was her carelessness. Fortunately, Master Xiao saved the girl, otherwise she would not be able to see Xie Lan.

“It’s easy, don’t worry.”

Xie Lan glanced at Xiao Jin quietly. This man didn’t use this tone just now. It was obvious that he was disgusted with her.

“Mr. Xiao, thank you for helping to stop the frightened horse. This prevented a serious mistake from happening.” An apologetic voice sounded behind everyone.

Xiao Jin turned around and the girl in front of him bowed to him.

He moved aside and avoided it.

“My Lady, you are thanking the wrong person. It was not me who stopped the frightened horse. It was Miss Xie’s maid.”

Princess Lan Yang was stunned. She was in the carriage when the horse was frightened and did not see what happened. She thought it was Xiao Jin who stopped the frightened horse.

While she was happy, she couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted, and even couldn’t help wondering if he also had her in his heart.

Unexpectedly, there was someone else who came to help.

Princess Lanyang quickly put away the disappointment on her face, put on a smile, and bowed to Xie Lan, “Thank you, Miss, thank you for your maid’s help. This is why my carriage didn’t get into trouble.”

Although Xie Lan was frightened, she felt that the princess was a good person. Although her carriage did not kill anyone, she asked the accompanying maid to take silver to compensate the frightened pedestrians.

“The horse used by the princess should be well-trained, how could it suddenly go crazy? Have you found out what’s wrong with it?”

After Yang Feng stopped another frightened horse, he checked and said, “If I am not mistaken, the princess’s horse must have eaten the frightening grass.”

Princess Lanyang frowned and glared at the driver, “Uncle Huang, what happened? How did Zhuiying eat the horse-frightening grass?”

The driver knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, “Princess, please forgive me, I was not aware of this, maybe the horse-frightening grass was accidentally mixed into the fodder sent by the farm.

The new servant didn’t notice it when he was feeding the horse, so Zhuiying accidentally ate it.”

Xie Lan lowered his eyes to glance at the sweaty driver, and his gaze fell on the face of Princess Lan Yang.

“Princess, forgive me for being blunt, but your horse ate the horse-frightening grass. It was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose. And from the look on your face, you may have a bloody disaster in the next few days.”

Princess Lan Yang didn’t know Xie Lan and didn’t take her words seriously.

But seeing that Xiao Jin was still beside him, he couldn’t say much, “I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly after I return home.”

Xie Lan knew from her expression that she didn’t believe her.

They had never met before, and she had no intention of talking to him anymore.

She was implicated by this princess today. If she hadn’t been harmed by someone, she wouldn’t have nearly been knocked off the Nine-Arch Bridge.

Seeing Princess Lanyang and her men leave, the couple who had been waiting anxiously by the side came over carefully, “I’m sorry, young lady. My husband has just learned how to drive a carriage. He was not paying attention and whipped too hard. The horse was in pain and accidentally hit your carriage.”

Yang Feng, who happened to be walking by, happened to hear the woman’s words, “Madam, your horse went crazy not because of the whip, but because someone shot it with an embroidery needle.”

　Dear readers, please pay more attention to your cervical spine when reading books. The author has been going to the hospital for physical therapy every day recently, and the cost is too expensive. In addition, the performance of this book is not as good as the previous one, and the five-day physical therapy fee almost cost half a month’s manuscript fee. If it weren’t for your support, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to persist.
