Chapter 188 Extra 6: A Living Person Falls from the Sky (Pei Ji and Jiang Rou)
That day was Jiang Rou’s fifteenth birthday.
She received the most unforgettable gift of her life - a living person who fell from the sky.
The young man in black fell from the top of the cliff and with a "splash" he crashed into the lake beside the peach forest.
Jiang Rou was fishing by the lake. Just when he saw a big fish was about to be caught, he was scared away.
She was so angry that she was about to pick the man up and beat him up when she saw the lake water suddenly turn red.
Yes, it’s hard not to die if you fall from such a high place.
In order to prevent his body from polluting the lake, she fished him out.
There was a big bump on the boy's head, and blood dyed half of his face red, making him look very scary.
But this does not affect his beauty at all.
Fair face, high nose, and sharp jawline.
nice.
The people of Lingyuan tribe are naturally handsome, but this man is even more handsome than the most handsome man in the tribe.
Jiang Rou secretly hoped that he would not die.
Such a beautiful person is better off being placed in the house as a decoration than being dead.
After checking his breath, he was indeed still breathing.
Jiang Rou breathed a sigh of relief and hid him in Zhou Dian’s cabin by the lake.
Fortunately, the old man Zhou Dian went out traveling and will not be back for the time being.
——
The young man woke up five days later.
He leaned against the bed, took the bowl of porridge from Jiang Rou's hand, and drank it all in a few gulps.
Then, he gave her a charming smile.
"Thanks, little sister."
Jiang Rou suddenly came to her senses and coughed lightly, "It's just a bowl of porridge."
He held Jiang Rou's shoulders and corrected her, "I mean, thank you for saving my life."
Jiang Rou didn't tell him that she rescued him because she was afraid that he would pollute the lake water, nor did she tell him that the house he lived in, the food he ate, and the medicine he took were all Zhou Dian's.
She just took the credit for saving him.
"May I have your name?"
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Rou, his eyes flashing slightly.
His eyes were narrow and charming, so alluring that Jiang Rou stuttered in a very awkward manner.
"Jiang, Jiang Rou."
"Sister Rou'er?"
He curved his eyes and smiled more beautifully than the peach blossoms outside the window.
"My name is Pei Ji."
As he said this, he wrote the big word "Jie" on her palm with his finger.
"Oh, who asked you?"
Jiang Rou calmly stood up and walked out, but she was thinking in her heart, what a special name.
Hatred? Jealousy? Suspicion? Disgust?
Who gave him this name? It's so unlucky.
——
"Sister Rouer, what are you doing?"
Pei Ji walked towards Jiang Rou, sat next to her under the peach tree.
"Carved toys." Jiang Rou answered truthfully.
The Lingyuan tribe is isolated from the outside world. In the past fifteen years, she has only sneaked out once with Zhou Dian.
The tribesmen lived deep in the peach forest and were self-sufficient. They had no worries about food and drink, but they had few toys. They made things like bamboo dragonflies and shuttlecocks themselves, and even carved their own toy dolls.
Pei Ji looked at the wooden sculpture in her hand and laughed out loud, "This little pig is quite cute."
“…This is clearly a puppy.”
"Dog? That dog is really fat, haha!"
This was the first time in her life that someone laughed at Jiang Rou's carving skills, and she was so angry that her face turned red.
"Yes! I can't carve it like the real thing. My parents died early and there was no one to teach me. What can I do?"
She dropped the wood carving and ran home angrily.
——
Jiang Rou's family also lives deep in the peach forest.
After her parents died, Uncle Li raised her as the acting clan leader.
In fact, she knew that her uncle and aunt's purpose in raising her was not so simple.
She is the Holy Maiden of Lingyuan. Whoever raises her can become the acting patriarch.
By the way, my second uncle has another son, Li Chuan.
The Lingyuan tribe never intermarries with outsiders. They hope Jiang Rou will marry Li Chuan so that Li Chuan can become the next tribe leader.
Although Li Chuan is the most handsome man in the Lingyuan clan, Jiang Rou has no romantic feelings for him.
That day, he saw that Jiang Rou was unhappy, so he specially hunted a rabbit and roasted its legs for her to eat.
Unfortunately, the rabbit was not yet cooked, so Jiang Rou secretly ran back to the lake.
Because her Frost Moon Dagger was lost.
That is my mother's relic, I can't throw it away.
When she returned to the lake, Pei Ji was standing in front of the stove, holding her Hanyue dagger in his hand, carving something.
"Sister Rou'er!"
When he saw Jiang Rou, a smile of surprise appeared on his face.
For some reason, the corners of Jiang Rou's lips also curled up.
"Give it back to me!" Jiang Rou snatched the Hanyue Dagger and was about to leave.
He quickly grabbed her wrist.
"Sister Rou'er, look at what this is?"
He smiled mysteriously, and held the wooden sculpture in front of her as if he were presenting a treasure.
It was a squatting puppy, its back like a fully drawn bowstring, its tail curled into a circle, its tongue sticking out, and its smile vivid.
Jiang Rou let out a very pathetic "Wow" and her eyes were shining with gold.
Pei Ji was very satisfied with her reaction. "This is for you. Don't be angry, okay?"
In fact, Jiang Rou was not angry with him at all, but she lost both her parents when she was young and had no place to vent her grievances.
She didn't answer, but took the puppy and sat next to him.
"What's in the pot? It smells so good."
"Peach Blossom Cake."
Pei Ji took the handkerchief and wiped his hands. He then lifted the lid of the pot and pinched out a piece of peach blossom cake. He blew on it carefully and passed it to Jiang Rou's lips. "Try it."
Jiang Rou took a bite hesitantly.
Then, he was so cowardly that he ate up the whole pot of peach blossom cake.
Pei Ji seemed very happy. "Since Sister Rou'er likes it, I will make it for you every day from now on, okay?"
Jiang Rou looked at him awkwardly for a while, then mustered up the courage to say:
"The Lingyuan Clan never interacts with the outside world. It's against the rules for me to take you in for a few days. Your injuries have healed, so you can leave tomorrow."
Pei Ji was silent for a moment, then he suddenly lowered his eyes and said sullenly, "Can't I stay a few more days?"
"ah?"
"I'm asking if you can keep me here for a while longer? I was originally a waiter at Nanfeng Tower. They forced me to entertain customers, but I refused, so I ran all the way to a cliff and fell off. Now I'm homeless. Are you really...really going to kick me out?"
He raised his eyelids and met Jiang Rou's eyes, his eyes showing a hint of grievance.
Jiang Rou's heart suddenly trembled and her cheeks felt hot.
"Okay, okay. Then you must hide well and don't let my people find you."
"Yeah, no problem!"
——
It was impossible to remain undetected.
The next day, Li Chuan discovered that something was wrong with Jiang Rou because she did not eat his rabbit legs.
There's no way, she's too full.
He followed Jiang Rou all the way to the cottage by the lake, and watched Pei Ji feed her peach blossom cake and teach her how to carve wood carvings.
That night, her second uncle and second aunt knocked on her door.
"Uncle will send him away tomorrow. You two can just pretend you've never met each other."
"no!"
Jiang Rou had been adopted by her second uncle for more than ten years, and this was the first time she got angry with him.
"He's homeless and very pitiful. I can't just ignore him."
"Saint, you are a boudoir girl, how can you casually contact with a man outside? Do you know what your clan members will think?"
"I am a saint, who dares to control me?"
After saying this, Jiang Rou felt that she had gone a little too far.
"I mean, I live for myself, why should I care what other people think?"
Second Uncle frowned and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:
"The Saint is the sole leader of the Lingyuan Clan. I really have no right to interfere in your affairs. Now that the decision has been made, let's do as you wish."
...This guy made Jiang Rou feel a little guilty.
But she only felt guilty for a while because Li Chuan made her angry again.
He came to Jiang Rou's room and asked, "Rou Rou, are you interested in him?"
Jiang Rou felt that he was being unreasonable and ignored him.
But he started to insist, "He's not good."
"...You know?"
"Yeah." Li Chuan was very sure.
"The Lingyuan Clan never interacts with outsiders. How could someone suddenly fall here? It must have been premeditated. Even if he's not a bad guy, he can't compare to the men of our Lingyuan Clan."
"Who said that? I think he's very handsome, much better looking than you."
"What about other places? He definitely can't compare to mine. If you don't believe me, just touch it!"
As Li Chuan spoke, he grabbed Jiang Rou's hand and pressed it towards his waist and abdomen.
