"What are you crazy about?"
"If you do this again, I will fight back."
"You know when to stop."
"I don't know you well, so don't mess with me."
After a while of arguing, Zhu Zan did what he said and was no longer polite. He quickly snatched the branch and threw it aside.
"Don't think I don't hit women." He looked at the woman who was staring at him fiercely with her fists clenched, "I will hit anyone who hits me. I don't care if they are men, women or children."
Miss Jun looked at him fiercely without saying a word, her emotions clearly still agitated.
Zhu Zan changed his defensive posture again.
"Mr. Jun, we are just doing business. If you have something to say, just talk about it. Don't take it out on me if you are angry. I don't have the time or the mood to do that," he said calmly.
Miss Jun looked at him for a moment and stretched out her hand.
"Give it to me," she said.
Although she spoke in a hoarse and brief voice, Zhu Zan did not ask many questions because he knew exactly what she meant.
Zhu Zan hesitated for a moment, as if he was afraid that she would catch up and molest him, so he took a few steps and threw the Purple Immortal Plant to him carefully.
Miss Jun took it and stepped forward.
Zhu Zan immediately raised his arms and stepped back cautiously, but he saw that she just walked past him and went to the other side.
"Now, we are even." Miss Jun said without turning her head, "You can go away, go far away, and don't let me see you again."
Her hair and clothes were a little messy because of her recent madness, but her voice and figure had returned to normal, and there was no sign of her previous madness.
And he left as soon as he said he would, first with big strides, then he just ran and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Zan stood there, still maintaining a guarded posture, and seemed to be unable to react for a while, until he saw the woman disappear at the mountain pass, then he stood up straight.
"What's the trick?" he said.
Looking back on it, the whole thing was completely incomprehensible, and this was the first time I saw her crying and making a fuss like that.
Zhu Zan looked at Miss Jun's receding back.
"You must reject first before you can accept." He snorted and said knowingly, "Don't try to fool me."
After saying that, he strode off in another direction and disappeared into the valley in the blink of an eye.
Peace returned to the valley. The rocks scattered on the ground, the ropes that fell into the grass, and the branches that were thrown down by people did not seem out of place here. After a day or two, they became one with the valley.
I don't know how long it was, a gust of wind blew, the swaying of grass and trees broke the stagnation in the valley, and at the same time, footsteps were heard, and Zhu Zan appeared here again.
Compared to his previous relaxed and playful state, his expression was calm at this moment. He first looked up at the cliff, then looked around, and then walked over and picked up the rope that had fallen to the ground.
It seems like a stingy old man who is reluctant to throw away the rope. Although the rope does not play the role it should on the cliff, it may be useful somewhere else.
Zhu Zan picked up the rope and did not put it away, but looked at the end of the rope carefully.
The rope had two ends, one of which was tied with a knot. He tied it around his waist and had just cut it with a knife, leaving a clean end.
Zhu Zan picked up the other end and touched the smooth cut with his hand, his eyes gloomy.
…
"See?"
Zhu Zan strode up to Miss Jun who was sitting by the mountain road and threw down the rope in his hand.
Miss Jun was sitting and eating a piece of jerky, and was not at all surprised by Zhu Zan's sudden appearance.
Zhu Zan did not explain why he came along, and there was nothing out of place about him standing there.
It's as if they have always been here, one sitting and one standing.
Miss Jun glanced at the rope on the ground without saying anything.
"I didn't mean to scare you, and it wasn't because I wasn't prepared that the accident happened." Zhu Zan said, "I was assassinated."
Miss Jun lowered her eyes while chewing the jerky.
"What's the difference?" she said, "Aren't the accidents caused by not being prepared for the rope and not being prepared for the opportunity to be taken advantage of by others the same as your stupidity?"
"Hey!" Zhu Zan shouted, "How can this be the same?"
"You are so smart, but you didn't realize that someone was trying to harm you? If not stupid, what is that?" Miss Jun said.
Zhu Zan was about to say something, but Miss Jun raised her hand again and shook her breasts.
"No, I was wrong," she said.
Zhu Zan narrowed his eyes and looked down at her.
Miss Jun looked up at him.
"It's not that you are stupid, it's that the other party is too powerful and too smart," she said.
Isn't this still calling him stupid?
Zhu Zan glared, then suddenly folded his arms and took a step back, looking at her with frowned brows.
"Who did you learn this from? Why are you so frivolous?" he said.
Who did you learn this from?
Learned this from a fool who was more narcissistic and more powerful than you, but ended up falling to his death while picking this herb.
Miss Jun looked at the breast in her hand, and the emotions that had just been suppressed surged up again.
Zhu Zan also noticed it and groaned a few times.
"Please stop being mad," he said. "I am innocent. Even if my behavior reminds you of someone else, it is unfair for you to be angry with me."
He said it so frankly and straightforwardly, and Miss Jun's mood actually eased.
Yes, he is indeed not stupid. Although he sometimes acts crazy and foolish, he is very clear in his heart.
She suddenly became so manic before, but she was not crazy. It was obvious that she was stimulated by thinking about old things and old people.
"What's so hard to understand? It's all about people. Everything is caused by people." Zhu Zan said, and then looked at Miss Jun. "There is no love or hate without reason in this world. That's why I can't understand why you are so strange to our family? What is it that you can't say?"
Miss Jun put the jerky to her mouth and bit it slowly.
"Nothing," she said. "Nothing to say."
He said and waved his hands.
"That's it. You've paid me back the Purple Immortal plant you owe me. We're even now. You can go to the capital with your father and stop following me."
Zhu Zan sat down with a thud.
"Who followed you?" He sneered, "Don't be so self-indulgent. I don't care whether you live or die."
Miss Jun turned her head and looked at him.
"What I mean is, can you please not make me suffer?" she said. "Look, you are being hunted wherever you go. If you follow me, what if someone kills me too? Wouldn't that be too unlucky of me?"
Zhu Zan uttered a sigh.
"What do you mean I'll make you die?" he said, crossing his legs. "Besides, the matter is not clear yet. It's still unclear whether this man is going to kill me or you."
Miss Jun looked at him and curled her lips.
"Kill me to cut your rope?" she said. "Is this man blind?"
Zhu Zan shook his head.
"No, this just shows that the man has a sharp eye," he said. "He knows how powerful I am, so if he wants to kill you, he must get rid of me first to be sure of success."
Miss Jun laughed.
"Thank you for saying that," she said with a spit.
"This is the fact. Why can't I say it?" Zhu Zan said.
Miss Jun laughed again, stuffed the meat jerky into her mouth in two or three bites, picked up the water bottle, took a sip, stood up, and pulled the horse over.
"Mr. Jun, don't think you are so popular." Zhu Zan said, pulling his horse to catch up, "Don't forget how many enemies you have and how much trouble you have caused. Now there are even more people who want to kill you."
Miss Jun said "Oh".
"Then why are you still following me?" she said.
"Why should I follow you?" Zhu Zan said, "The road is wide and we are both walking on different sides. Why can you go but I can't?"
Miss Jun said "oh" and said nothing more, but the desolate mountains and hills did not become quiet.
"Hey, don't think too much."
"We should repay favors we have received and never be overly sentimental."
"How about this, let's do another deal, you ask me to help you find herbs."
"How about five thousand taels per plant, for the sake of human kindness?"
