Chapter 135 Dressing to Look Thin
The carriage that fell from the sky hit the people who were chasing Jun Lie. Jun Lie looked back and saw a woman falling from above. He stepped on the stirrups and flew to save her. The moment he saw Xiao Jiuyue, Jun Lie felt his heart skip a beat.
"Am I hallucinating?" Xiao Jiuyue blinked hard, feeling as if she was dazzled.
Jun Lie was amused by her reaction, his lips curled slightly, he looked back at the person the carriage had hit, then jumped on his horse and chased after him. Jun Lie grabbed the reins and said, "Hold on tight."
The horses were galloping wildly, and the wind was blowing on Xiao Jiuyue's face. When he turned around, he saw carriages and men in black all over the ground!
She must not have checked the almanac before going out today, otherwise, how could she have encountered two groups of people chasing her?
Xiao Jiuyue took the sachet that had just been scattered. Fortunately, she had a backup. She took out a paper bag from the amulet that her mother had asked for her and put it into the sachet, mixing it with the incense ash.
Jun Lie noticed that Xiao Jiuyue was moving around like a little hamster. Before he could even ask, Xiao Jiuyue grabbed his collar and said, "Hold your breath."
Jun Lie subconsciously held his breath. He walked forward and only felt Xiao Jiuyue sprinkle something behind him. When he turned around, the few people who caught up with him fell down softly.
"Stop." The remaining people chased after him.
"Take the small road." Xiao Jiuyue said as he looked at the fork in the road ahead.
Jun Lie's eyes flashed, and he turned the horse and ran directly into the forest path next to him.
Xiao Jiuyue looked back from time to time, trying every possible way to create obstacles for others, or cut branches with a dagger. Since turning into the small road, he was not running as fast as before.
"Go left and dodge." When Xiao Jiuyue saw the other party shooting an arrow at him, he grabbed Jun Lie's clothes and tried to dodge, but he didn't move.
Xiao Jiuyue shouted anxiously: "You, are you stupid? Why don't you hide?"
The arrow hit Jun Lie's shoulder. He looked down at her without saying a word and said, "We need to speed up now."
The horses galloped all the way, and Xiao Jiuyue felt as if his internal organs were about to be shaken. From the setting sun until the sky darkened, their figures moved forward aimlessly in the mountains and forests.
"We should have gotten rid of them." Jun Lie turned around and listened carefully, but he didn't hear anyone catching up. He looked around, and there were only endless mountains. If he listened carefully, he could even hear the howling of wolves.
"We must be lost." Xiao Jiuyue looked around. When she looked up, the dark night sky was covered with stars. When she saw the clearly visible Big Dipper, she said, "This is due north. We are going in the wrong direction."
After Xiao Jiuyue determined the direction, she turned around and looked towards the south. She was going in the opposite direction of her home.
"You also understand astrology?" Jun Lie's surprised voice sounded in her ears.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and he said modestly: "I know a little bit." He could only tell the directions of east, south, west and north.
"Well, what should we do now?" Xiao Jiuyue looked back at the dark path they had come from and said, "Returning the same way isn't an option. What if we run into those killers?"
Compared to the people who wanted to kidnap her, the people who were chasing Jun Lie were clearly murderous and were out to silence her.
"By the way, how's your injury?" Xiao Jiuyue suddenly remembered that Jun Lie hadn't dodged the arrow that hit him. She looked up and saw that Jun Lie's eyes were vacant and he looked like he was about to faint. Xiao Jiuyue felt a heaviness on her back and shouted, "Third Prince, are you okay?"
"Your Highness?"
“…”
Xiao Jiuyue didn't hear any response, but she felt her shoulder sink. His face was pressed against her shoulder, like a branding iron, so hot that it was frightening. Xiao Jiuyue raised her hand and touched his forehead.
"I have a fever." Xiao Jiuyue felt her forehead was so hot that her brows furrowed. She looked up and looked around. There was no village in front and no shop behind. There was no doctor in this desolate mountain area.
"Third Prince." Xiao Jiuyue shouted again. Jun Lie was obviously unconscious. She took the reins. It was an early summer night and the wind blowing from the mountains was still cold. No, they had to find a place to make a fire and rest.
Xiao Jiuyue opened her eyes wide and searched, but she couldn't find the cave in the unfamiliar forest. Suddenly, the horse slipped and Xiao Jiuyue didn't have time to get off the horse. She grabbed Jun Lie and fell off the horse.
Xiao Jiuyue held Jun Lie's hand tightly. When she fell off the horse, she found that Jun Lie's hand on her waist was very tight.
The two men's bodies fell heavily to the ground and rolled over. Xiao Jiuyue held Jun Lie tightly. It was pitch black. If the two of them got separated, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?
After a long time, Xiao Jiuyue became numb from the pain and finally stopped. She opened her eyes and looked around. Should this be in a ravine?
"Third Prince!" Xiao Jiuyue had half of her body pressed on Jun Lie. Just as she was about to get up, she was pushed back by the hand tightly clasped around her waist.
"..." The unconscious Jun Lie naturally did not respond. Xiao Jiuyue could only helplessly pry his hands apart and remain motionless.
"Third Prince, if you don't let me go, we will both die!" Xiao Jiuyue tried many times but couldn't break them apart, so she could only quarrel with Jun Lie.
I don’t know which word stimulated him, but Jun Lie let go of his hand, and Xiao Jiuyue stood up as he wished. When he stood up, he found that the hillside he had just rolled down was a cliff!
"Good luck." Xiao Jiuyue patted her chest in fear. She really didn't check the almanac for today. She either jumped out of the car, fell off the cliff, or fell off the horse. It was a miracle that she survived.
Xiao Jiuyue took a quick look around and unexpectedly found a small cave nearby. She was immediately delighted and dragged Jun Lie into the cave.
"Huff." Xiao Jiuyue panted heavily, looking at the cave right before her. She glanced at Jun Lie, who was leaning all his weight on him, and said, "Since you helped the Xiao family in the past, I'll consider this as repaying a favor."
Xiao Jiuyue gritted her teeth and dragged Jun Lie into the cave with great effort. When she helped Jun Lie lie down, she fell down due to the force.
"hiss."
Xiao Jiuyue took a breath and rubbed her hand against the wall of the cave, scratching her skin. She lowered her head and pressed her hands on his body, just pressing on his chest. She could clearly feel that although he looked thin and tall, he actually had quite a lot of muscles?
Could this be the legendary appearance of looking thin when dressed and showing off one's muscles when undressed?
Xiao Jiuyue pressed the back of her hand with her skirt. She took out a tinder from her waist and blew it. When there was light, she could see the cave clearly. It couldn't be called a cave, it was probably a small hole formed by scattered stones. She touched the large stone, which should be solid!
Xiao Jiuyue picked up some dead branches and started a fire. He supported the unconscious Jun Lie and said, "I just wanted to take a look at your wound. I didn't mean to take advantage of you."
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyue reached out for Jun Lie's clothes.
