Chapter 43 Chapter 43 The Rift Between Ji and Shen
The moment she jumped off the cliff, Jiang Wu was prepared to be smashed to pieces, and she still felt aggrieved. Could it be that she was still destined to die early?
Fortunately, there were branches nearby to cushion the two men's jump.
Xie Ji, who was holding the person in his arms, woke up first. After not seeing the person in his arms, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was cold. He didn't care about the injuries on his body and went to find her.
Fortunately, they were both washed down together, but he was lucky enough to be washed to the shore, while she floated on the water like duckweed.
Because of his worry, he didn't even bother to check the water depth before swimming towards her.
A man who has never believed in gods and Buddhas, now only prays that his wife can survive. If his wife survives, he is willing to rebuild the golden body for the gods and Buddhas.
After dragging the person ashore before he was exhausted, Xie Ji put his trembling fingertips to her nose. Seeing that she was still breathing, his heart finally settled down.
He wanted to check if her injuries were serious, but when his fingers were about to touch her clothes, he quickly withdrew them as if he was burned, and turned his back to her with his ears red.
Looking around, I think they must have been lucky when they jumped off the cliff. There was a small river at the bottom of the cliff. Now they must have been washed downstream by the river.
Those men in black might find this place soon, so he had to find a safe place before they got here.
Because one of his arms was broken, he could only carry the child on his back instead of hugging him, and he also found a tree root to use as a crutch.
Shortly after they left, a man in black came over and keenly noticed a pool of blood on the ground.
"There is blood on the ground. Maybe they were eaten by wild animals." As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head.
"Whether he was eaten by wild beasts or not, I want to see him alive or dead."
Because an assassin appeared in the woods and forced the Prime Minister and his wife to fall off a cliff, the emperor was immediately furious.
As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.
Xie Yu and Gao Lang, who helped intercept the men in black, blamed themselves so much that they wished they could die to atone for their sins. If they had known earlier that there would be an ambush by assassins, or had stayed by the adults' side the whole time, perhaps nothing would have happened.
Ever since Ji Xiao witnessed her jumping off the cliff, he stretched out his hand but only managed to grab a piece of her clothes. He ignored the wound left by the fight with the man in black and ran down the cliff to look for her. As a result, he fainted from exhaustion and when he woke up, he was completely emotionally broken.
If he had arrived sooner, she wouldn't have been forced to jump off the cliff.
Or he should have caught up with her immediately when she was riding away.
Her eyes were red, as if she was too sad to recover. After crying for a while, Shen Tingxue suppressed the smile on her lips. Her eyebrows were full of worry, but she still had to force a smile to comfort him, "I think Master and the others are lucky people, and nothing will happen to them."
Shen Tingxue was happy at this moment that she could finally get rid of Jiang Wu, but she was more worried about her master. Her hatred for Jiang Wu deepened. If it weren't for her, how could her master fall off the cliff.
Now I just hope that Master can be safe and sound. As for Jiang Wu, it would be best if he were to die.
"Your Majesty has already sent the Imperial Guards to look for them. I think there will be news soon. On the contrary, Master and the others have returned. What should you do if you fall ill?"
Ji Xiao, with his jaw clenched, listened to her repeatedly saying that they would be fine and that they were blessed by fate. He just felt that she was a little strange.
Shen Tingxue's mood gradually calmed down. Thinking that he had not been flattering her like before, she couldn't help but feel anxious: "You haven't eaten since you came back. Eat something first."
Ji Xiao looked at the porridge handed to him, irritably reaching out to knock it to the ground, biting his cheek and suppressing his anger, saying, "It's already this late, how can I eat anything?"
Shen Tingxue, who had always been held in their hands and fawned over, had never been treated in this tone before. It was also because his licking dog did it for another woman. This was a great shame and humiliation for her!
No matter how fiercely angry Shen Tingxue was in her heart, tears rolled down her cheeks with grievance on her face. "I'm sorry, I was just worried that you wouldn't feel well because you hadn't eaten anything today. I didn't think too much about it."
Seeing her crying, the people in the tent immediately rebuked Ji Xiao, "Prince, you're going too far. The princess is also worried about your health."
"We are all very worried about the Prime Minister's disappearance. You can't take your anger out on the princess."
"Princess, please don't be sad. If you ask me, some people don't deserve your care at all."
Shen Tingxue bit her lip stubbornly as she shed tears silently. Her eyelashes drooped with tears. I shook my head pitifully, "It has nothing to do with Zexiu. It's my fault. You guys shouldn't make things difficult for him. He's just too worried about my master, that's why he's like this."
Ji Xiao, whose face was turning pale and blue, began to reflect on whether his previous words were too harsh. He grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance and said, "Tingxue, I don't mean to blame you, but I just don't have much appetite right now."
Shen Tingxue, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, burst into laughter and said, "I know."
Then she raised her head and smiled beautifully, "Ze Xiu, I know you blame yourself for my master and the others falling off the cliff, but the fault isn't yours. If you want to blame someone, blame those assassins for being too cunning."
"Don't worry, I believe that Master and the others will definitely return safely." But she hoped that only Master would return safely.
Although it rained suddenly at night, fortunately we found a cave to take shelter before the rain started.
There were some dry firewood, thatch, and a flint for starting a fire in the cave. I guess this was where hunters stayed overnight after going into the mountains to hunt.
After following Xie Ji and jumping off the cliff, Jiang Wu could feel the wind whistling past his ears. It felt like a sharp knife was cutting across his cheek. He opened his eyes in severe pain all over his body.
In the flickering firelight, I saw a face half-hidden in the darkness.
The bright firelight seemed to give him a hazy golden edge, making him look like a god.
When Jiang Wu opened his eyes, he saw Xie Ji's face, and felt even more aggrieved.
It would have been fine if she died with him when she was a human, but why didn't he let her go even when she was a ghost? In that brief moment, Jiang Wu felt that she must stay away from him when she was reincarnated.
"You're awake." Xie Ji put the baked clothes on her, "Your clothes are not dry yet, you can wear mine first."
It was not until he spoke that Jiang Wu, who was a little slow to react, realized that she was still alive. This was because she was sitting by the fire, and her originally wet clothes were heated by the fire, causing water to roll down her skin, making it sticky and hot.
Only then did Xie Ji notice that her hand, hidden under her clothes, was bent into a twisted shape, and he felt even more guilty. "I'll help you put your hand back together first. It might be a little painful, so bear with it."
Jiang Wu guessed that her hand was probably fractured and dislocated, and was about to say yes when he stretched out his hands and snapped her broken hands, almost causing her to roll her eyes in pain.
Revenge, this must be his revenge on himself!
"Sorry." After the water in the bamboo boiled, Xie Ji took it out and poured it into an empty bamboo tube to cool. Then he took out a grilled fish and tore off the charred skin on the outside with his hands, revealing the snow-white fish meat inside. Then he handed it to her mouth, "Would you like to eat something first?"
Jiang Wu screamed in pain and was already angry. Now after hearing him apologize, she thought even more that he did it on purpose.
And the fish was roasted. Smelling the delicious aroma, Jiang Wu, whose stomach growled twice, found it hard to say it wasn't roasted well.
Because her hand was injured, she couldn't move for a while. After feeding her the fish, Xie Ji couldn't help her change her clothes, so he could only burn the fire more vigorously. "It's been a while since we disappeared. I think someone will find us soon."
After eating, Jiang Wu, whose hands were still throbbing with pain, closed her eyes and didn't want to talk to him.
For a moment, the only sound in the huge cave was the occasional crackling sound of burning firewood.
After another spark exploded, Jiang Wu, who was bending over, suddenly turned pale, and even a faint smell of blood began to float in the air.
Xie Ji noticed that her face looked bad, and it felt like a needle had pierced his heart. "Did the wound split open?"
"No." Jiang Wu, who was about to bury herself, blushed so much that blood could drip out. The main thing was, how could she have the nerve to say such a thing.
Also, why does her period come at this time instead of earlier or later? Are you trying to make things difficult for her?
If the wound hadn't split open...
Xie Ji thought of Yu Shu saying that her period was delayed for a few days not long ago. His face flushed and even his Adam's apple felt tight. "But did your period come early?"
Jiang Wu, so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in the ground, could only respond vaguely. She was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to look up at him.
Then, a frozen silence fell between the two of them.
Just when Jiang Wu thought he wouldn't say anything else, she suddenly heard the sound of him standing up and taking off his clothes, followed by the sound of cloth being torn, which made her quickly raise her head.
Under the dim firelight, a man with his upper body naked was tearing his underwear with all his strength. As he moved, the muscles on his back bulged and the veins on his wrists stood out.
His coat was covering her body, providing her with constant warmth.
After Xie Ji tore his inner garment into rags, he washed them with rainwater and dried them by the fire. He wanted to add some ash to the rags, but he had no needle and thread, so he had to fold the rags into several layers.
After finishing the simple menstrual belt, Xie Ji's ears flushed red as his bony fingers tightened, and he didn't dare to look at her. "My underwear is probably clean. If you don't mind, you can change into it first."
There was a simple menstrual belt, but the problem now was that both of Jiang Wu's arms were fixed to tree sticks and he couldn't lift them at all.
Jiang Wu wanted to say firmly that she could endure and wait until Gao Lang and the others brought people, but she breathed a little too heavily just now, and her lower body seemed to be incontinent and wet the stone beneath her.
Xie Ji understood what she was thinking, so he had to endure the shame and let him ask, "If Madam doesn't mind, I can help Madam change."
Hearing this, Jiang Wu, who had moved his butt backward, suddenly widened his eyes in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
If her hands hadn't been fixed so that she couldn't lift them, she would have pinched herself to find out if she was hallucinating.
After some words were spoken, the initial shyness and embarrassment disappeared. Xie Ji, holding the menstrual pad in his hand, pursed his lips slightly and said with a serious face, "We are husband and wife."
"If women don't change their clothes or take care of their semen for a long time after their period, it will definitely be harmful to their health."
"No, go find me some herbal painkillers." Even though she knew that he could only have feelings for Shen Tingxue, Jiang Wu couldn't accept the idea of letting a man tie her menstrual belt.
Just as Jiang Wu finished speaking, thunder sounded outside the cave, and a silver white dragon flashed out of nowhere.
………
Xie Ji, whose ears were completely red, coughed lightly, suppressing the embarrassment that was about to sweep over him. He didn't even dare to look at her and said, "What I meant before is, tie it outside the pants."
Even though they are husband and wife, he will not do anything out of line until she can completely accept him.
At first Jiang Wu thought that he wanted her to take off her pants, but she didn't expect that he wanted her to tie them through her pants. She immediately felt ashamed of herself for having doubted him before.
Jiang Wu, who wanted to be tough, felt the heat surge from her again. She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at him. She just bit her lip and said in a very novel way, "Is it too much trouble for you?"
"We are husband and wife." Xie Ji paused, then said, "I will close my eyes."
Although he covered his eyes with a cloth, when he half-knelt in front of her, Jiang Wu's heart beat faster unconsciously and she still felt indescribable nervousness and shyness.
She didn't know if it was because they were too close, but she felt her nose filled with his cool fragrance, and even the sound of his breathing was like feathers passing by her ears.
It was not comfortable for the person who was wearing a menstrual belt. After Xie Ji was blindfolded, he half-knelt on one knee on the ground. Not only did he have to be careful not to touch her, but his other senses were also magnified infinitely.
The most noticeable thing was the sweet peach blossom scent on her body, which also gave the matter a touch of charm.
Fortunately, this tiring thing for both of them did not last long.
After Xie Ji fastened her menstrual belt, if both of them looked up at each other, they would definitely see two identical red faces.
The rain outside the cave is still falling, and it seems that it will not stop for a while.
After washing his hands with rainwater, Xie Ji picked up two more sticks and threw them into the fire. His eyes fell on her sleepy face, almost falling asleep, but still trying to hold on. This inevitably reminded him of the time when he returned home for something urgent and saw her in class.
There was a smile between his eyebrows. Even the heavy rain outside the cave could not affect his good mood at the moment. "If you are tired, take a nap first. Maybe when you wake up, we will be back in the tent."
Jiang Wu, whose eyelids were almost stuck together, wanted to say that she was not very sleepy, but her body betrayed her.
Jiang Wu felt that what he said must be misleading, otherwise why would she suddenly become so sleepy.
After she fell asleep, Xie Ji unbuttoned the coat she had returned and put it on her. His slender fingers brushed the hair that fell on her cheek and tucked it behind her ear. The back of his fingers seemed to touch her cheek inadvertently.
Thinking of the assassin who seemed to be targeting him and His Highness today, but was actually targeting his wife, his eyes instantly turned cold.
Jiang Wu thought that he was so tired today that he would not have any dreams after falling asleep. Who would have thought that when he opened his eyes, he would see himself soaking in the pool.
Her body, which had been cold from falling into the water, was gradually warming up, and she found a person standing behind the screen.
Still a man.

The author has something to say: I would like to recommend my friend’s article: “Gold Finger is a Dream of Creating Restricted Texts” Pigeons Flying:
Cui Ning died unexpectedly during filming and traveled through time to become the daughter of the Minister of Revenue of the Great Yan Kingdom.
Without a cell phone, no internet, and no way to film, Cui Ning was about to give up on this tedious era when a voice flashed through her mind. Ding, the Drama Queen's golden finger has arrived.
"You can designate a subject to open a restricted dream."
Restricted text...is it the kind of restriction she thought it was?
Suanniao Suanniao, as a former model worker, her acting soul is already burning. Given limited conditions, she is not picky about the script.
Dream 1:
Crown Prince Xiao Tingyu has been having the same dream recently. Although he is a noble man, he is the lowest horse slave in his dream.
When the eldest lady stood, he had to bend over; when the eldest lady sat, he had to kneel; when the eldest lady beat and scolded him, he had to endure it.
He was the only one who had ever beaten, scolded, and enslaved others. How could someone dare to do this to him? Xiao Tingyu was furious and humiliated. He wanted to tear out the man's tendons and bones.
Until later... when he subconsciously lay at the feet of the young lady from the Shangshu Mansion, acting as a stirrup for her to dismount, his screams brought him back to his senses.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Xiao Tingyu's body stiffened. He had forgotten that he was now the crown prince, not a horse slave. But even so, he was the only one who could be stepped on and unhorsed by Cui Ning.
Dream 2:
Qin Su, the great general who always hated bullying, had the same dream recently. In the dream, the young lady from the Shangshu Mansion was his wife, but he was obsessed with another woman. He even neglected, wronged, and punished his wife because of his clumsy calculations, and never showed any mercy to her in bed.
When he woke up from his dream, he always thought of those sad yet stubborn eyes.
Until in his dream, he accidentally caused his wife to miscarry their child.
That day, the servants in the general's mansion secretly saw that their general, for some unknown reason, burned paper money in the middle of the night with a sad look in his eyes.
He kept sending gold, silver, jewelry, property deeds, and land titles to the Shangshu Mansion, but it still couldn't make up for the guilt and pity in his heart. When they met in the back garden of the banquet, he hesitated several times and finally had tears in his eyes.
"In fact, we had a child."
Dream Three:
Ning Suxue, a young man from a noble family who has always been self-disciplined and respectful to the rites, has been having the same dream recently. In the dream, he covets his younger brother's wife.
When she called him "big brother", Ning Suxue looked at her bright red lips; when she was loving and affectionate with her brother, Ning Suxue saw the red mark on her neck...
He secretly hid her underwear and chanted her name to relieve himself. He lurked in the dark, his desire growing wildly and insatiable.
The way to prevent Dream from repeating the same mistake is to make her his wife.
***
Cui Ning enjoyed her acting so much that she planned to spend the rest of her life eating, drinking and having fun... but weren't these people taking it too seriously?
