Seeing that the carriage was about to rush into the river, Gu Jinyun's face was grim, and he was eager to fly over.

"Miss, hold on for a while longer, Young Master Gu is behind!" Ping'er shouted.

Gu Jinyun?

Qi Surong didn't dare to be distracted, she pulled the reins hard, and several deep bloodstains were streaked out of her palm.

The horse's head was pulled back by her, and when it was about to rush into the big river, it finally stopped abruptly.

With such a sudden pause, Qi Surong was unprepared. Because of inertia, she flew towards the big river with a thud, and instantly fell into the rushing river.

"Miss!" Ping'er was about to cheer when she saw the carriage stop, but saw Qi Surong fly out of the seat and fall into the river, her face changed greatly.

At this time, a figure quickly passed by and jumped into the river.

Ping'er got off the carriage with trembling legs, looked at the river in front of him and the two people who had disappeared, and burst into tears.

"Don't worry, our young master is very good." A knight came to comfort him.

Another person also said: "Let's go downstream and look for them, they should be rushed down there."

Ping'er had no idea and kept nodding her head.

The two guards rested the carriage again and took Ping'er to find it downstream.

After Qi Surong fell into the river, she was choked by the tumbling water and couldn't breathe. Even if she tried to surface, she couldn't control her body, so she could only rush down with the water.

Won't die here? Qi Surong pondered secretly, there were many minor disasters in the previous life, but she had no experience of flooding. It seems that history has indeed changed a lot, and the plan can never keep up with the changes.

At this time of crisis, she was still in the mood to think about this...

I don't know how long it took, Qi Surong was in a dizzy state, feeling that the water flow was slowing down, and his body seemed to be firmly surrounded by an arm, slowly dragging to the shore.

Gu Jinyun looked at the pale Qi Surong with a gloomy expression. He held her tightly in his arms, as if afraid of losing her.

Ashore, Gu Jinyun immediately laid her flat on the ground and pressed her a few times on her abdomen.

Qi Surong coughed out a few saliva, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a familiar face in the haze.

"Husband..." Her eyes were blurred with tears, her voice was hoarse and low, and Gu Jinyun couldn't hear what she was calling. But her expression was extremely worrying.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Jinyun took her into his arms.

Qi Surong hugged him tightly with both hands, tears flowing, crying like a child.

"It's alright, it's alright." Gu Jinyun patted her on the back and comforted her in a soft voice with a paralyzed face.

The ridicule, contempt, and humiliation of others could not make her shed even a single tear.

But in this man's arms, she could not control her emotions.

This warmth is like her last belonging. As long as he is there, she will be fearless.

☆、Chapter 40 Textile Machine

Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong finally found a village before the sun went down.

They lied to the villagers that they were husband and wife. During the journey, the carriage lost control and unfortunately fell into the river. They wanted to stay in the village for one night and return to the city tomorrow. They didn't know how far they were washed by the river, and some couldn't tell the direction. Fortunately, there are villagers who will guide the way. will follow the villagers to take care of an ox cart tomorrow, and should be able to return to the city smoothly.

The villagers were warm and down-to-earth, and arranged accommodation for them without saying a word. The hostess of the house they borrowed brought them a change of clothes. Gu Jinyun gave some silver taels, and the hostess smiled like a flower: "The people in the city are generous. At first glance, you are the children of a big family. You look good and you speak well."

"Thank you auntie." Qi Surong took the clothes and said thanks.

"No, no." The hostess waved her hands again and again, "This dress may be a little rough, I wonder if you are used to wearing it?"

Qi Surong smiled and said, "Auntie, don't treat us as dignitaries, we all grew up eating whole grains, how can there be so much attention?"

When the hostess heard this, she felt relieved, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, these clothes are all new and no one has worn them. You rest first, and I'll cook some dishes for you."

"Thank you."

After sending off the hostess, Qi Surong gave Gu Jinyun a sideways look: "Don't be cold, you almost scare people."

Gu Jinyun pursed his lips and seemed to be adjusting his expression.

Qi Surong snickered and handed him the men's clothes: "Well, put it on quickly."

Saying that, he picked up his own set again.

Suddenly, she made a movement and touched her fingers on the clothes. The style of this dress is really simple, but the material is a little special. The texture is delicate, the hand feels soft, and the textile technology is different.

"What?" Gu Jinyun couldn't help asking when she saw her holding her clothes in a daze.

"Oh, it's alright." Qi Surong returned to her senses, raised her head inadvertently, and saw that Gu Jinyun had taken off his shirt and was naked. The sturdy muscles, full of strength, made Qi Surong blushed and heartbeat.

"Why, why did you change clothes in front of me?" she stammered.

"You didn't let me go." Gu Jinyun replied as a matter of course, showing off his strong figure recklessly, as if he had no intention of putting on clothes at all.

Qi Surong silently pointed to the small black room next to him, and motioned him to change there.

Gu Jinyun didn't seem to see it, and started to untie his belt with Qi Surong on his back.

"Wait!" Qi Surong quickly stopped, picked up his clothes and put a cover on him, then pushed his back to the small dark room.

Gu Jinyun followed her will and took two steps, suddenly stabilized the lower plate, and settled in place.

Qi Surong didn't notice, and bumped into his back.

"Hey." His forehead hit his spine, causing a burst of pain.

"Are you okay?" Gu Jinyun turned around and leaned over.

Qi Surong leaned back slightly, looking through his fingers, he could clearly see his eyelashes.

Gu Jinyun saw her stealthily looking at him, she was so cute, she couldn't help but feel agitated, her eyes gradually burning.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, Qi Surong took a few steps back, turned around and said, "Go and change your clothes, I'm going to change too. If you wear wet clothes for a long time, you will catch a cold."
