Chapter 120: Wen Zhi fell into the lake Chapter 120: Wen Zhi fell into the lake “Since you insist, I won’t say much. Choose a horse for yourself then, and let’s ride around Cocoon Lake,” Wanyin said, turning around to ask the high society ladies, “We’re riding to Cocoon Lake, would you like to come?”

The ladies immediately stood up, “We’ve come all this way, why not take a ride for a turn, it wouldn’t do to disappoint Wanyin’s mood, right?”

The other high society ladies echoed in agreement.

With the support of the group of ladies, Wanyin felt exceptionally delighted. The party quickly went to choose their horses and then rode toward Cocoon Lake.

…

Songshang Horse Farm was geographically well-situated, located at the foot of a mountain and backed by a lake, making it an ideal spot for photography. Many wedding photography teams came here to shoot and rented horses for the occasion.

Wen Zhi’s horse was selected by herself, just like the other ladies, casually picked from the stable and led out by a Rider upon selection.

It was a mare, and Wen Zhi was quite certain there wouldn’t be any issues.

But whether there would be issues was not for Wen Zhi to decide.

Chong Wanyin was skilled in horsemanship. She taught Wen Zhi many techniques, reminding her, “Don’t kick the horse’s belly too often, pay attention to this subconscious issue.”

Wen Zhi nodded, silently taking note.

As they reached the edge of Cocoon Lake, a lady exclaimed in admiration, “Cocoon Lake is becoming more and more beautiful.”

Another lady said, “Look over there, a couple is taking wedding photos, let’s go join in on the fun.”

Chong Wanyin smiled and shook her head, “Better not get too close. They also have a horse over there. If it gets startled, that would not be good to deal with.”

Wen Zhi glanced at Chong Wanyin, noticing her envious gaze fixed on the couple.

“Wen Zhi, let’s walk around the lake,” Chong Wanyin, realizing Wen Zhi was watching her, withdrew her gaze and suggested.

Wen Zhi replied, “Sure.”

The six horses leisurely strolled around Cocoon Lake. When they got quite close to the couple taking wedding photos, everyone conscientiously veered away to move forward.

The man and woman in the wedding photos had already struck many poses under the direction of the photographer. The current pose involved the woman mounted on the horse, bending down to kiss the man.

This was a very aesthetic pose.

The photographer was adjusting angles and giving directions, “Sir, tilt your neck back a bit more, a little higher, yes, yes, yes, just like that, perfect.”

After capturing the shot, just as the woman was straightening up, the horse underneath her suddenly neighed in alarm, lifting both its front hooves.

The incident happened so quickly that no one could react, and the woman in the wedding dress was abruptly thrown from the horse.

“Ah—”

“Help, what’s happening!”

“Has this horse gone mad!”

The woman fell from the horse and the man failed to catch her, but the worst came when the horse suddenly kicked out, striking the woman on the head.

The woman’s face was immediately covered in blood, and she passed out on the spot.

Seeing this, the man let out a sharp cry of alarm, and the photographer turned pale, loudly shouting for help, “Someone! Someone!”

The high society ladies, having witnessed the scene, were trembling with fright, barely holding onto their reins. Fortunately, Chong Wanyin kept her cool and reminded them, “Hold onto the reins! Hold onto the reins! Don’t let go!”

“We’re really jinxed today; how could the Horse Farm have two mad horses!” grumbled a lady.

“Exactly, who knows if it’s just two or even more. I think it’s safest to dismount,” another said.

“Don’t dismount, here comes the mad horse. Let’s retreat quickly,” another lady suggested.

“Right, prioritize our own safety first, then we can call for help,” another added.

Wen Zhi’s lips were tinged with a hint of pallor. The second horse… it was the one rented by the couple taking wedding photos…

Although she tightly gripped the reins, she remained motionless until Chong Wanyin’s voice reached her, “Wen Zhi? Wen Zhi? Quick, turn around, let’s head back to the Horse Farm. That mad horse is coming our way.”

Wen Zhi snapped back to reality, looking at Chong Wanyin, who was worried about her.

Seeing Wen Zhi’s lack of reaction, as if she were frozen in shock, Chong Wanyin reluctantly dismounted and approached Wen Zhi’s horse.

“Wen Zhi, are you scared out of your wits? It’s okay, I’m here. We’ll ride together,” Chong Wanyin suggested as she moved to mount the horse.

But at that moment, the mad horse, having attacked the photographer, was charging toward Wen Zhi, as the other ladies had already fled.

Chong Wanyin’s face was filled with fear, and she instinctively slapped the horse’s rump forcefully. Startled, the horse bolted wildly.

Chong Wanyin shouted, “Wen Zhi, hold onto the reins! Hold onto the reins!”

But it was already too late.

At the exact moment the horse took off, Wen Zhi’s body, like a kite with its string cut, was thrown backward by the blast of inertia.

She was then flung from the horse’s back in a parabolic trajectory.

Below her, there was a gentle grassy slope; as Wen Zhi rolled down the ground, her body continued to tumble uncontrollably downhill.

Until with a splash, she fell into Cocoon Lake.

“Wen Zhi!!”
