Chapter 51: Hard on the outside but soft on the inside, I'm talking about you
She turned her eyes and said in a normal tone, "I was afraid I'd drop it, so I put it here."
Xiangying pointed to his chest.
This trick of deceiving Tao Xue actually made Jie Chen's face change on the spot.
His eyes slightly opened.
So, the medicine Xiangying applied to his eyes last time was placed in that place...
Jie Chen's gaze retracted as if he had been electrocuted.
"Ridiculous!" His expression was extremely complicated, and his ears turned red under the light of the fire.
Xiangying resisted the urge to burst into laughter. She supported herself on the mountain wall and sat up, then sat down next to Jie Chen.
"I'll help you apply the medicine."
"No need!" He quickly blocked her fingertips.
Xiangying placed the medicine bag in his palm. Seeing that Jie Chen was still about to refuse, Xiangying said, "It's okay if you don't apply the medicine, but if you don't take care of your injury, it will fester in the summer."
"By the time you return to South Vietnam, you will be blind. As a military supervisor, losing your eyesight will have a huge impact."
Xie Chen didn't know if she convinced him, but he finally stopped struggling.
Xiangying asked him to close his eyes and applied the herbs evenly on his eyelids.
She quietly took some anti-inflammatory medicine from the space, crushed it and sprinkled it on the wound.
It was a bit painful, and Jie Chen frowned slightly.
"Okay, don't move. Let the herbs stay on for a while."
Jie Chen didn't say anything, but leaned quietly against the wall of the cave.
Xiangying leaned over to take a look at the sky outside.
The sky was already beginning to turn dim.
"Jie Chen, can we say this is a life-long friendship?"
After she said that, Jie Chen just sneered in response.
Xiangying continued, "No matter how I treated you in the past, you saved me, and I promise not to hurt you again in the future."
Her eyes sparkled, and when Jie Chen couldn't see, they were full of temptation.
"Your words are not trustworthy." Jie Chen finally spoke.
Xiangying was not discouraged: "Why can't you believe it? These days, I have been doing my best for the child, and you have seen it. I am different from before, and I believe you can see it too."
Xie Chen said nothing.
Thinking of her meticulous care for her three children, she pursed her thin lips.
Xiangying's tone softened: "With my status, I'm afraid it won't be so easy after I arrive in South Vietnam."
"When the time comes, you can take good care of the child for me, and you don't have to worry about my life or death. As for the jade seal..."
Before she could finish her words, Xie Chen interrupted her calmly: "You don't have the imperial seal at all."
"Given your personality, if you really had the Imperial Seal, you would have taken the opportunity to cause chaos long ago, and you wouldn't have been hiding quietly like this."
He knew that Xiangying was courageous and had her own ideas. If the imperial seal fell into her hands, this woman would definitely find ways to make the entire exile team obey her.
Xiangying was stunned.
She never expected that after spending these few days together, Jie Chen understood her temperament so thoroughly.
It is precisely because you don’t have it that you have to pretend that you have it.
Xiangying said confidently: "That's not necessarily true. You all care so much about the jade seal. Of course I will hide such an important thing."
As she was speaking, her stomach made a rumbling sound.
Xiangying paused and sternly accused: "I'm hungry because of you."
Xie Chen sneered: "It's unreasonable."
He stood up by holding on to the mountain wall and walked out of the cave.
Xiangying stopped him: "Where are you going? How long have you been applying the mask on your eyes?"
"Wait for me here. It's almost dawn. I'm going to go outside to explore the way." After he said that, his tall figure walked out.
After he left, Xiangying closed his eyes and entered the space.
She searched all the floors.
Even the boxes full of gems were dumped out by her.
There is no trace of the imperial seal.
Good, this thing is definitely not on her.
I'm afraid he was taken away by the dog emperor.
Xiangying cursed that turtle father emperor again in his heart.
She went to the kitchen and made herself a delicious meal.
The chopped pork belly is mixed with the fried chopped chili peppers, sandwiched between the freshly baked thousand-thread cakes, and it is crispy and fragrant when you bite into it!
Xiangying ate two in a row and made himself a glass of vegetable juice.
Now she regards her daily walking as exercise, so she must not treat herself badly in terms of diet.
Otherwise, she would lose protein and muscle and would not look good if she was too thin.
I liked a refined life during the apocalypse, and it is still the same after traveling through time.
At this time, Xiangying's ears moved slightly, and she heard the footsteps of Jiechen coming back. She wiped the corner of her mouth and opened her eyes.
"You're back?"
Xie Chen reached out and handed over four wild fruits: "We are now at the bottom of the valley, and we need to find a way to get up. Eat these first to fill your stomach."
Xiangying's phoenix eyes were slightly stunned, and her red lips were still slightly oily.
"You...you found it specifically for me?"
Xie Chen glanced at her coldly: "I saw it when I was looking for the way and picked it up."
I was still thinking about thanking him, but Xiangying was already full.
"How about we each have one? You haven't eaten yet."
"If you can't finish it, put it away and eat it when you are hungry. After you finish the water, you can only rely on the fruit to quench your thirst."
After he said this, Xiangying discovered that Jie Chen's thin lips were slightly dry and chapped.
So he gave her all his water bag and didn't drink a single sip himself.
Although Xie Chen hated her, he valued her life. He was afraid that she would be sad because of the death of her three children, so he tried his best to fulfill his responsibilities.
If he knew that the child was not his, the consequences... Xiangying didn't dare to think about it.
She hummed obediently.
"Change your clothes." After saying that, Jie Chen went outside to guard.
When it was just getting light, the two walked side by side at the bottom of the valley, looking for an exit.
Xie Chen just checked the direction of the water flow.
Since they fell downstream, they should go upstream against the current.
After walking for a while, the two entered the woods.
The woods are dense, with piles of fallen leaves, and often mud underneath.
At this moment, Jie Chen reached out and held Xiangying's wrist.
"Follow my footprints to avoid falling into the swamp." His voice came from the front, and his tall figure had a kind of reassuring power.
Xiangying hummed a little uncomfortably.
The end of the world began when she was three years old.
Since childhood, she has been accustomed to fighting for everything on her own.
This was the first time that she didn't have to do anything and could just stand behind others and reap the benefits.
When the two were finally about to walk out of the forest, Xiangying glanced at them and suddenly said, "Wait."
Jie Chen stopped and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
Xiangying let go of his hand and walked away.
She saw a dark hole on a small hill not far away. It was covered by some weeds but still clearly visible.
Jie Chen grabbed her and said, "Maybe it was dug by an animal."
Xiangying shook his head: "No, look at the traces around the hole, they are neat and round, they must have been dug by someone."
She stood outside the cave and looked around, then reached her hand in and felt the wind blowing past.
The following is correct.
Jie Chen threw a stone down, and it took a long time before he heard a dull thud.
Xiangying was surprised: "Such a deep hole?"
Her phoenix eyes sparkled: "Let's go down and take a look."
Xie Chen frowned: "Are you crazy? Why are you digging a hole?"
"This is most likely a tomb robber's hole!" Xiangying became excited. "When we were in the team, Elder Lin pointed to this mountain and said there was a big tomb underneath. I guess this is it."
Moreover, there is wind flowing below, which means there is another exit and it is connected from bottom to bottom.
Since there is a large tomb, there must be countless treasures and supplies.
Xiangying's hoarding nature breaks out.
She turned to look at Jie Chen: "It's up to you whether you want to come with me or not."
After saying that, she didn't hesitate and went straight into the black hole.
"Xiangying!" Jie Chen tried to pull her away, but only tore off a piece of cloth. He gritted his teeth in anger, "This dishonest woman."
I really don’t know what’s going on in her head?
Even if it's a big tomb, why do you still need the dead people's things?
Jie Chen didn't think much and jumped after her.
It's vacation time! My babies are back to read books, so happy! Everyone, remember to vote!
