Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Emma stared at the overcast sky overhead.She was conscious, but every part of her body hurt, and she couldn't move for a while. "Georgianna, Georgiana?" Georgiana remained motionless in her arms with her eyes closed, she didn't know whether she was fainted from fright or knocked her head.

"Tick tock." A drop of rain fell.

Misfortunes never come singly.Emma endured the pain and sat up, trying to move her limbs, but fortunately there was no fracture.But Georgiana's situation gave her a headache.The little angel was unconscious and appeared to have a broken left foot.

Emma glanced up the slope, but couldn't see anything, the two of them rolled too far away.Moreover, due to the bushes on the slope, when she was rolling dizzily, she could clearly feel that she had changed her direction several times, and she was not rolling in a straight line.She couldn't carry the unconscious Georgiana that long.If it wasn't raining, they could have waited here, but the top priority now was to find a place to shelter from the rain.There are four servants in total, one is injured, one needs to go to the doctor quickly, and one is protecting Miss Daisy, why hasn't the other one come here yet?In any case, they couldn't just lie on the ground in the rain, with wounds on their bodies, so in the era without penicillin, they were looking for death.

Emma narrowed her eyes and looked around, and found that they were very lucky, and there was a cabin not far away.She had seen a similar place specially built in the woods to provide rest for those who came to hunt.Emma drew a big E&G on the ground with her feet to remind them that they were here, then cut off the branches of two bushes with a pocket knife, untied the lace around her neck, and fixed Georgiana's left foot.After making sure it was tied, Emma put Georgiana's arm on her shoulders and moved towards the cabin step by step with difficulty.It usually takes only a few minutes for the two to walk twice as long.Fortunately, the rain was not heavy at first, and the cushion was still on the head, so the whole body was not wet.

Emma pushed back a strand of hair that was damp with cold sweat on her forehead, and looked in through the window.Emma was relieved that no one was in the cabin.She and Georgiana seem to be two prey who have no minions and cannot resist, and it will be bad if they encounter someone with evil intentions.

There is no lock on the outside of this kind of hut that provides a resting place, but the inside can be locked.Emma felt uneasy, and pushed the small wooden table against the door again.Probably all the bad luck of the day had been used up just now, and there was still some firewood left in the hut, and some water in the pot.Emma saw the cook build a fire that night when she was making sherbet with pulp for Georgiana. She used flint and a tinder box for a long time according to the method she remembered, but the wood was damp in rainy days, so it couldn't light.

Georgiana shivered unconsciously, her hands were cold.Emma gritted her teeth and took off her corset.Today's women's overskirts have a large neckline, which can reveal the petticoat inside, so there is no way to do without the petticoat but to sacrifice the corset.The two of them were only a little wet in their skirts, but their close-fitting corsets were not wet.Using the corset as an introduction, the warm firelight finally jumped on the firewood.

Emma took off Georgiana's wet smock and put it on the floor, and took her in her arms, and they nestled by the fire.Georgiana felt the warmth and finally stopped shaking.Emma roasted for a while and her body gradually warmed up, but the wound on her back throbbed with severe pain.When she rolled down just now, she tried her best to rub the obstacle with her back to slow down.There are lavenders on the gentle slope of this highland, and the side where they roll down is relatively steep, and there are tall and low shrubs, so there is a certain blind spot in the line of sight.She was worried that if there were boulders or other dangers down the slope, it was a pity that she failed to stop.When Emma put on the petticoat just now, she found that the petticoat had been scratched a lot, and there must have been scratches on the back, and the wound was probably filled with sand.

Emma was worried about the inflammation of the wound.She put the smock she had taken off over the window, and poured the water from the pot into the pot, where she boiled for a long time.Wash your hands carefully with boiling water first, then take off the petticoat from your shoulders to expose your back, and scrub the wound with boiling water for a simple disinfection.There was no clean strip of cloth, so Emma had to wait for the water to cool down, and poured water on her back with her hands.If there is a mirror here to let Emma see how many injuries she has on her back, she will definitely not die like this.

"Ah!" Emma couldn't help crying out in pain, her eyes turned black from the pain, and her whole body trembled violently.

"Boom." The door was knocked open suddenly.

Emma, ​​whose eyes were dazzled by the pain, couldn't see who it was for a moment. She grabbed the petticoat with one hand and hid it in front of her chest, and pulled out a knife with the other and hid it behind her back.

The people outside the door were shocked by the scene in front of them.He didn't walk in and didn't speak, it seemed that he froze into a stone in an instant.

The severe pain subsided a bit, and Emma relaxed the moment she saw the person coming, and took out the knife hidden behind her back and put it back into its sheath. "So it was you. I thought it was the bad guy."

Mr. Darcy seemed to have been lifted by her words, and he slammed the door shut with a shake of his hand.

The wind from closing the door made Emma feel chilly on her shoulders. Only then did she realize how she appeared in front of Mr. Darcy just now, and the blood rushed to her cheeks instantly.Ignoring the need to clean the wound, I put on the petticoat directly.My heart is at a loss.She was not slow in grabbing the petticoat. Mr. Darcy didn't see anything he shouldn't see, did he?

Emma comforted herself for a long time, but still couldn't help covering her face with her skirt in annoyance.If I knew it earlier, I would have built a barrier when I undressed.She really didn't expect that someone could come in with the lock and the table blocked.Did Mr. Darcy kick the door open?

Mr. Darcy was not well either.

Time goes back to just now.

Arrive in the hunting woods.George took Alvin and left first, announcing that there would be a fair duel between men.

Mr. Smith looked at George's back with regret. He wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to George, but it was a pity that George had to compete with Alvin alone.Mr. Smith Jr. was very tired of his father's efforts to sell his sister to George, and he was happy to see George leave.

Now Mr. Stoke's target is only Mr. Darcy, so naturally he is very enthusiastic to join Mr. Darcy. "Mr. Darcy, I wonder what kind of prey you like? There are not too many animals here, but the quality of the bird's meat is still good. You can take it back later and add some game for lunch."

Mr. Murray would never be as obsequious as Mr. Stock, but he did not wish to give up the chance of intimacy to his old enemy. "Mr. Stoke, you don't have a lovely daughter, maybe you don't know much about it. How could you let the three ladies see such a bloody scene? They will be frightened."

Mr. Smith didn't like Mr. Stock either.He hated these guys who were too poor to maintain their dignity and looked down on businessmen as descendants of nobles. "That's right, my lovely little daughter Daisy has received the most decent education since she was a child. What she sees every day are classic paintings, beautiful jewelry and elegant books. She will faint when she sees blood."

Mr. Little Smith said something very inappropriate when he was drunk that time, what pure admiration.Although others didn't know that he was referring to Miss Daisy, but Miss Daisy knew it very well in her heart, and she went back and cried all day.On the one hand, Mr. Smith felt guilty, and on the other hand, he also felt that Mr. Darcy was too arrogant and unreasonable.Can't help saying: "Mr. Darcy doesn't seem to think that ladies should get special care."

Mr. Stock was just attacked by his old rival and a wealthy businessman he didn't think much of. Hearing Mr. Smith's words, he immediately retorted: "Mr. Darcy is the most gentlemanly person I have ever met. How could he not?" Taking care of the lady's feelings is because my proposal just now was ill-considered."

Mr. Smith glared at his son.At the beginning, when George introduced Mr. Darcy, he said that he was the benefactor of the Kentra family, so although Mr. Smith didn't put his mind on Mr. Darcy, he still respected Mr. Darcy.Later, when he got home, Mrs. Smith, keenly aware of what was wrong, forced Miss Daisy to question, and he realized that the person his daughter admired was Mr. Darcy.Although Mr. Darcy has land and wealth, he has no title after all. He is not as good as George, who has a title, has no parents and brothers, and has a somewhat reckless personality. Such an earl needs a father-in-law like him who is good at managing money.He is worried that George knows who Daisy likes and who will choose adult beauty, and he and his wife take turns to persuade their daughter to stay away from Mr. Darcy.Fortunately, Daisy has always been obedient. When she was asked to talk to Mr. Ross more, she was reluctant but she did not refuse, and this time was no exception.When he saw Mr. Darcy again, Mr. Smith felt that he should keep a good balance. On the one hand, he should not offend the benefactor of his future son-in-law; "Mr. Darcy's sister is still there, so how can she not consider the feelings of the ladies. John, haven't you been looking forward to today? It's been a long time since we have compared each other. Let's see who plays more in today's game."

The Smiths went the other way.Mr. Stock, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Darcy went into the wood together.This pair of old enemies are together, chatting and laughing naturally swords and swords.Mr. Darcy was already in a bad mood, and he had a headache from their quarrel, and he always felt a little restless for some reason.Although there were four footmen, two of them were brought by Mr. Smith, in case they were not responsible enough or...

Mr. Stock boasted to Mr. Murray: "You must have never seen such a beautiful starling, with beautiful plumage like a black and white rainbow. I walked slowly, approached slowly, and hit it with a single shot. "

Mr. Murray smiled slightly: "Oh, I really haven't seen such a beautiful starling, because I usually hunt robins."

"It's a pity I never saw you catch your prey."

"If that's the case, why don't you have a competition, Mr. Stock?"

Mr. Stock choked. "Well, how can we let go of our distinguished guests and ignore our competition?"

"Please don't worry about me." Mr. Darcy reined in. "Georgianna just told me to go back early. You can go to the game, but I'm sorry."

Mr. Stock had no excuses, and was led deeper into the woods by Mr. Murray.Mr. Darcy turned his horse and rode back.

Emma and Georgiana rolled too quickly to see what was after.Georgiana was still holding on to the mane and did not let go completely. Emma pounced with all her strength, and the frightened horse was hit and almost fell sideways.If it hadn't been for a manservant rushing forward and grabbing the horse's rein from the side, the horse might have rolled downhill with Emma.Let alone a horse weighing at least 200 kilograms hit the two of them directly, even if it hits it while rolling, it may be seriously injured.Emma had no idea how lucky the two were to escape death.But the horse fell with such force that the servant's hands were dislocated in an instant.

The division of labor among the four male servants is somewhat different from what Emma expected.The unfortunate lad who was kicked by the horse probably had a broken rib and needed a servant to go to the doctor.Seeing that it was going to rain, the injured could not move freely, but someone had to move the unconscious Miss Daisy to a place that could shelter from the rain as soon as possible.If you want to find a doctor as soon as possible, you have to ride a horse, and you can't ride a horse because your hands are injured.But if both Emma and Georgiana were seriously injured or unconscious, the servant with the wounded hand could not bring them back.The four menservants were really distressed.Mr. Darcy, who came back at this time, was shining like a savior in the eyes of several servants.

Mr. Darcy felt that something was wrong when he saw the scene on the slope from a distance.After listening to the servant's narration, his face turned black.Immediately send an uninjured servant to ride to the doctor.Then, together with another uninjured servant, put the immobile servant on horseback and walk slowly, let him carry Miss Daisy on his back, and take the servant with injured hands to find a shelter from the rain. Mark down.And Mr. Darcy himself went to find the two ladies who had rolled down the hill.

The steep slope made it impossible to ride a horse, and Mr. Darcy went down looking for traces.At this time, the clouds were thick and the sky had already darkened. The traces of the rolling down were not particularly obvious, and the raindrops that started to drip made it more blurred.Once or twice, Mr. Darcy saw fibers hanging from some bushes and dark marks that seemed to be blood. He couldn't imagine how many injuries Emma and Georgiana had suffered, and he became more and more anxious, but he still walked very cautiously.Mr. Darcy knew that if he slipped and hurt himself, there would really be no one to save Emma and Georgiana.

Before reaching the bottom of the slope, Mr. Darcy saw the big E&G, and his anxiety that was about to boil calmed down a little.This word should be written by Emma, ​​and they can find a place to shelter from the rain to prove that their lives must not be in danger.

Obviously the most convenient shelter from the rain is the cabin in the forest ahead.Mr. Darcy walked quickly, and suddenly heard Emma's sharp cry of pain.Mr. Darcy's heartbeat stopped for an instant, he gripped his shotgun and ran a few steps and kicked at the closed door.Then......

The big raindrops hit Mr. Darcy's body. He was drenched all over, but he was still standing straight at the door, like a cold and lifeless statue.Emma was facing the door just now, with her slender and graceful neck, white and round shoulders, soft and undulating curves... and the trust that was revealed the moment she saw him clearly: "So it was you, I thought it was a bad guy .” These words lingered in his ears, lingering.

"That, that." The door of the hut suddenly opened, and Emma stood behind the door with half of her face exposed, and whispered, "Come in first, it's raining heavily outside." Emma was ashamed in the room After waiting for a long time, I suddenly remembered that it was still raining heavily outside. Even if something embarrassing and embarrassing happened to make people want to hide, Mr. Darcy must not be exposed to the rain outside. He just meant well.Gritting her teeth, Emma opened the door.

Mr. Darcy did not dare to look at her, though she was fully dressed at this time, and did not go in. "Are you and Georgiana hurt?"

Emma's first reaction was: "I'm fine." After she finished speaking, she felt wrong, why did she take off her clothes and scream just now?Hastily added: "It's just a little bruise on the back. Georgiana's left foot seems to be broken. I don't know if she was frightened or hit her head. She is still awake. But her breathing and heartbeat are very stable, and there is no other uncomfortable reaction, probably not Concussion... a big problem."

Mr. Darcy came in anyway, to see the unconscious Georgiana.

Georgiana lay beside the flickering fireplace, her breath was long, and her cheeks were slightly flushed by the warmth, as if she was just sleeping peacefully.Mr. Darcy confirmed that Georgiana was not seriously injured, so he walked forward and said in a low voice, "It's raining heavily outside. When the rain subsides, I will carry Georgiana back."

"Wait a moment." Emma called to Mr. Darcy.It was very unwise to go out in the rain, though she knew Mr. Darcy must be very, very embarrassed too.Even the summer rain is very cold. Mr. Darcy's face turned pale just now, he may have caught cold.What if it turns into pneumonia?She stammered: "Well, it's raining heavily outside. There's no need because, this, we all know it's just a misunderstanding, a small misunderstanding. Well, you can close your eyes and rest by the fire for a while."

For the first time since a while ago Mr. Darcy looked her in the eye. "Misunderstand?"

"Yes, yes." Emma nodded sharply. "I absolutely trust your character. This was an accidental mistake, but no one else knows, so..."

"Miss Emma Kentra."

Emma looked up in surprise, startled by Mr. Darcy.It was not the first time she had seen Mr. Darcy in a bad mood, but she had never seen him like this.

At this time, Mr. Darcy's eyes seemed to contain the extremely suppressed storm that was about to erupt, and his voice was as cold as unmelted ice and snow. "Obviously, you don't know how to keep a normal distance with men, and you lack the necessary caution for a lady. You can try to learn this from today, for your fiancé." Mr. Darcy finally couldn't deny it anymore, he It is true that she fell in love with Emma, ​​but this feeling should not be deserved.He is not the upright and noble gentleman in Emma's mind, he is a shameless coward, on the one hand he is happy for Emma's closeness, on the other hand he tries to justify himself, refusing to admit that he is in love with her to prove that these closeness is not deviant.These words, he should have told Emma when he first discovered the special care he had for him, but he didn't.From now on, let Emma stay away from him completely.

Emma's eyes widened in disbelief.Had she been, in Mr. Darcy's eyes, trying shamelessly to get close to him?She did take extra care of Mr. Darcy, but she tried not to let Mr. Darcy know about it because of the barrier between men and women. She really couldn’t hide it, such as her help in the sale of weapons to the French army. She would put the credit on George. .Emma thinks she has a thick skin. If Clark had slapped her in public when she needed to have a good relationship with Clark, she would still be able to greet her with a smile and find a chance to prove that Clark was the murderer and come back for revenge.But Mr. Darcy is a close person whom Emma respects, so he accused her indiscriminately, which made her aggrieved eyes turn red. "I-I didn't know you thought so. I do now."

Mr. Darcy trembled when he heard Emma's voice, and felt as if his heart had been severely clenched, but he held back, turned and walked into the rain without saying anything.Emma didn't stop him this time.

The author has something to say: Mr. Darcy saw the heroine half-naked, but he didn't blush and heartbeat without impulse, but reprimanded the heroine sternly.I think no matter how many articles I write in the future, it will be difficult to find a more upright male protagonist than Mr. Darcy. Note the rhythm of lonely life_(:зゝ∠)_
