Mingshu swore that this was absolutely the most thrilling scene she had ever experienced in her life so far!
The horse, stimulated by who knows what, was careening into the forest regardless of anything, frantically choosing the most difficult paths without regard for its own safety.
Mingshu, her upper body lying down, clung desperately to the reins, trying to steady herself so as not to be thrown off. Her fingertips turned white with the force of her grip, and she still had to protect Si Chu from injury.
Slanting tree branches scraped across her cheeks, bringing a sting of pain that was quickly replaced by new wounds.
She was jostled so severely that she felt as though her insides were about to spill out. Her voice trembled as she tried to soothe Si Chu's emotions, "Child... little one, don't be afraid. In a moment, I'll hold you, and we... we will jump off the horse together!"
