After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 462

Upon hearing this, the guards fell silent. Whether the two men before them were friend or foe, they had no idea. Though they were eager to tell the truth, their inner vigilance remained taut, fearing the other party might harbor ill intentions.

When Ye Yi saw that no one answered, he became extremely anxious. He suddenly jumped off his horse and was about to step forward to ask.

At that moment, Chun Xing, who had been knocked unconscious earlier, slowly regained consciousness. She looked in the direction of the voice, and the moment she caught sight of Ye Yi's face, she ignored the pain and instantly beamed with joy. This guard, Ye, was the eldest son's trusted confidant and had always been inseparable from him. As long as Ye Yi was here, the eldest son must be nearby.

She forced herself to move her aching body, struggled to break free from the guards' support, and staggered towards Ye Yi.

Seeing this, Ye Yi hurried forward to support her shaky body.

"Guard Ye, where's the eldest son? Quickly ask him to rescue the young lady!"

Chun Xing grabbed Ye Yi's arm, her nails almost digging into his flesh. "There are men in black who want to kill the young lady! Go and save her!"

Her memory was still stuck on the moment she was knocked unconscious by the men in black, completely unaware that they had already escaped their pursuit. She also didn't realize that the men in black she was talking about were now tied up, their mouths tightly gagged, standing in the middle of the group, being escorted by everyone.

As soon as she finished speaking, perhaps because she was too excited, she started coughing violently, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.

Seeing this, Ye Yi subconsciously reached out and hugged the limp Chun Xing into his arms. When he touched the other's delicate body, his body stiffened slightly, and then he held her up steadily - now the situation was critical, who could care less about the difference between men and women, and the most important thing was to find out the situation.

Seeing that Miss Chun Xing clearly knew this person, the guards finally became convinced that the two people in front of them were indeed familiar with their young lady, and hurriedly explained the incident in a few words. Ye Yi glanced away and caught a glimpse of the man in black who was tied up in the crowd.

But this was not the time for interrogation. He frowned slightly, turned around and called Xiao Yiwei over, and handed Chun Xing over: "Wait here for me, I'll go find them."

After saying this, he jumped on his horse and galloped towards the hillside where the carriage had rolled down. The dust that was raised instantly swallowed up his receding figure.

…………

Ye Yunzhou searched the entire hillside like crazy, shouting until his throat was hoarse, but there was still no sign of Luo Shuiyao.

The sky gradually brightened, and in the morning mist, the lush green hillside seemed to turn into a silent mockery. His legs trembled, and he had to hold on to the tree trunk beside him - if something really happened to Luo Shuiyao, how would he cope?

When Ye Yi arrived, he found Ye Yunzhou standing alone at the bottom of the slope. The morning light stretched his figure, so thin it looked as if it could be swept away at any moment. His lonely back, like a boat abandoned by the world, teetered in the vast wilderness, revealing a heart-wrenching despair.

His heart suddenly tightened, and his steps stopped unconsciously. He hesitated and dared not move forward.

But no matter how hard it was to face it, some things were inescapable. He pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he resolutely strode towards the lonely figure. After a few steps, he parted the lush grass and suddenly stepped on something soft. He instinctively raised his foot to kick it away, but the moment he lowered his eyes, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

On this sunny hillside, the grass grew extremely lush, reaching half a person's height. At this moment, a person was lying in the grass... a woman.

Because of the angle and the obstruction of the weeds, the man's appearance could not be seen clearly, but even though his consciousness was blurred, his hands were still tightly grasping the grass stems beneath him.

Ye Yi moved his lips, then looked up at the figure at the bottom of the hillside who seemed to be abandoned by the world. He pursed his lips and slowly squatted down.

He pushed aside the weeds in front of the woman. Sure enough, it was none other than Miss Luo! Ye Yi once again looked up at the man standing at the foot of the mountain like a man waiting for his husband, a mixture of emotions filling his heart. So, was his own supervisor so distraught simply because he hadn't found the person?

He thought... Ye Yi swallowed his dry throat and bent down to pick up Luo Shuiyao, but found that her hands were holding the grass stems very tightly. The grass stems were very flexible, and he was afraid that if he used too much force, he would hurt her hands, and he didn't know what to do.

After a moment's thought, he stood up and shouted at Ye Yunzhou, "What are you still standing there for? Your sweetheart is here!"

Because the ideological shock was too great, he threw aside his usual concerns about status and shouted loudly.

Ye Yunzhou stood frozen at the foot of the hillside, his mind blank, his ability to think long gone. Countless terrifying thoughts raced through his mind: What if she tumbled down the cliff and was bruised and battered? What if she was carried off by a wild beast, her life or death uncertain? He searched for a long time but had no clue. Where should he go next?

Hearing Ye Yi's cry, he didn't react at first. When his slow brain finally started to work and he realized what was happening, he suddenly turned his head.

He saw Ye Yi standing on the hillside, waving desperately at him. The voice came again like a loud bell: "Miss Luo is here, she is here, she didn't fall down!"

Ye Yunzhou was finally sure—he had heard correctly. Without even thinking twice, he immediately set off towards the hillside.

When he walked to Ye Yi's side, he saw Luo Shuiyao who was half-lying unconscious at Ye Yi's feet. A fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged in his throat, and his legs became a little weak.

This place was clearly only a few feet from the edge of the hillside, yet the wild spring grass almost completely obscured the view. Furthermore, Luo Shuiyao was wearing a blue shirt that blended perfectly with the grass. Previously, he had been too anxious and had mostly searched at the foot of the mountain, never considering that someone might be hiding in this swamp of grass.

"Found it," he murmured, laughing before feeling his eyes warm. He should have breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still pounding in his chest, as if repeating the despair he'd felt just now, searching the mountains and plains for it but failing to find it.

The smile faded as his fingertips touched Luo Shuiyao's warm wrist. Fortunately, her pulse was steady and strong, and she seemed fine. He bent down and half-hugged her in his arms.

Ye Yunzhou reached out, trying to pry her fingers free from the grass stem, but she instinctively tightened her grip again. The grass was incredibly resilient, leaving tiny red marks on her clenched palm. If he forcibly pulled it apart, he'd probably rip the flesh.

"What are you standing there for?" After calming down, he looked up at Ye Yi.

Ye Yi hurriedly put away his speechless expression and said obediently, "Supervisor."

Ye Yunzhou lowered his eyes, thinking that he had found Yaoyao for him, so he didn't bother to argue with him. He just whispered, "Cut this grass."
