Chapter 1398 - 1398 678 Knocked through
?Chapter 1398: 678 Knocked through Chapter 1398: 678 Knocked through After her afternoon visit to Tianxiang Pavilion to change Gu Chengfeng’s dressing, Gu Jiao didn’t get home until the sky was very dark.
As she reached the street that intersected with her own alleyway, she spotted Horse King and Elder Meng.
Unlike the other horse at home, Horse King needed to be taken out for a stroll every day; otherwise, it would throw a tantrum in the backyard and bully the other horse.
When Horse King saw Gu Jiao, it decisively stopped accompanying the old man.
It bit its reins and galloped towards Gu Jiao, then presented the reins to her.
It wanted to be walked by Gu Jiao.
…
The rain in the outer city arrived earlier and was heavier than the inner city, leading to a torrential downpour. Gu Jiao and Elder Meng took shelter in a restaurant with a stable for horses.
They took shelter for more than two hours, and it was already dark.
“The rain has stopped,” Gu Jiao observed, looking out the window.
Elder Meng stood up, “Then let’s hurry back before it starts again.”
Gu Jiao hummed a response, “I’ll go get the horse.”
The stable was next to the restaurant’s backyard, and Gu Jiao led Horse King out.
She didn’t pay attention to the hoofbeats getting louder from the street; the road was wide enough that there was no need to move aside for anyone.
Yet just as Gu Jiao led Horse King to the restaurant’s entrance, a child suddenly darted out from inside.
The child was about to run under the horse’s hooves when Gu Jiao leaped forward, grabbing the child and rolling to the other side of the street.
The horse’s hooves came down heavily on the very spot Gu Jiao had snatched the child from, splashing water everywhere!
The rider evidently saw the child dash out too and reined in the horse with all his might. Despite running so fast, if Gu Jiao hadn’t made that dive, the child would have already died under his hooves.
He coldly eyed the drenched young man and child, saying viciously, “Don’t court death next time!”
Several of his companions caught up, one of them said, “Let’s go now, we don’t want any delays.”
“Hmph!” He grabbed the reins and lashed the horse with his whip, and the steed sped away in a cloud of dust.
“My son! My son!”
