Jiang Yuzhu took the initiative to turn the grilled fish, and then turned around to apply medicine to Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao leaned forward, his chest trembling as he let out a suppressed cough.
Jiang Yuzhu spread out the straw, placed Xie Zhao's dried coat on top of it, and helped him lie down: "Master, don't move, lie down first."
The two of them were warming themselves by the fire, and since they were close to each other, they didn't feel so cold.
"Yuzhu, your husband is tired."
After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he leaned on Jiang Yuzhu's legs.
Originally, there was some element of pretending to be sick, but after closing his eyes, Xie Zhao suddenly felt calm and comfortable, and his breathing soon became steady and smooth.
In the firelight, Xie Zhao's hair on his forehead was fine and slightly messy, and he did not have his usual calm and composed look.
Jiang Yuzhu moved her body, and Xie Zhao frowned slightly, seeming to be very uncomfortable.
After a long pause, Jiang Yuzhu resisted the urge to push Xie Zhao aside and stopped moving. Instead, she stretched out her arms to grab the branches to turn the grilled fish.
The fish in the deep pool are not caught all year round, so their meat is plump and has no earthy smell.
After eating half of it, Jiang Yuzhu felt sleepy.
Outside the cave, the sound of rain is the best lullaby.
Stones had been piled up in front of the cave to ward off wild beasts. Jiang Yuzhu put on her clothes and fell asleep quickly.
Eat and drink enough, and make the best of it.
About an hour later, Xie Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, without a trace of sleepiness in them. He covered Jiang Yuzhu with his coat and walked to the entrance of the cave.
Soon, footsteps were heard.
The leading man in black knelt down and said, "Master, I am late. Please forgive me."
The mountain roads were slippery due to the rain, making it difficult to search for people at the bottom of the valley.
As daybreak approached, the group finally found a cave.
Xie Zhao pursed his lips, slightly lowering the corners of his lips, his expression indifferent: "You can come later."
The subordinates trembled and groaned in their hearts: The master is angry and has started to speak in a sarcastic way!
If it doesn't rain, we can actually go half an hour earlier.
The master hated explanations the most. Several men in black knelt down one after another, with their heads down, looking as if they were waiting to be dealt with.
Just as Xie Zhao was about to turn around, he saw the man still standing there. His voice became even colder: "Are you not leaving yet?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They were here to rescue people, so where could they go?
The leader said stubbornly, "Master, we are at fault. We will rescue you and your wife first, and we will accept the punishment voluntarily."
Xie Zhao's face was gloomy. What he said was completely literal, but these idiots didn't understand?
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense, but all the people they found are bachelors.
Xie Zhao couldn't help but teach her a few words: "When a man and a woman get along, it's not just about being together under the moonlight. It's also about being together through life and death. You haven't married yet, and you haven't experienced life and death with a woman. You can't understand it, so naturally you don't understand."
His wife was still asleep, how could Xie Zhao bear to wake her up?
It is a rare opportunity to be alone, so you should cherish it and get rid of those who are in your way first.
It would probably take until sunset for Mo Qianyu's men to arrive.
Since he missed the morning court session, Xie Zhao didn't have to go to the yamen to be on duty. It was like taking a break from his busy schedule, and he couldn't help feeling a little happy.
Everyone under him: "..."
What's wrong with having a wife? Doesn't it mean you can do whatever you want?
Rescue the person as soon as possible so that they can still love each other when they get home. Isn’t the soft big bed in the Xie Mansion more comfortable than a straw mat?
However, their master had unique tastes and they dared not refute him, especially the four words "not married yet", which was really heartbreaking!
The men's hearts were bleeding and their expressions were complicated.
The master said that if a man has a woman in his heart that he is worried about, he will become timid.
It turns out that the master is so reserved and reserved behind the scenes.
"Do you have any other instructions?"
No, they immediately retreated after being told to do so.
Thinking of the culprit, Xie Zhao's face lightened: "The barbarian who tracked down the transaction, do you have any clues?"
"Master, our men went around to the other side and found nothing left except a broken cage."
The subordinates reported back that it was raining and if they followed the horse hoof prints, they would find that the barbarians and their men should be heading out of the city.
After hearing this, Xie Zhao smiled coldly, "Keep searching. If you find them, don't leave them alive!"
"yes."
Just as his men were about to retreat, Xie Zhao stopped them and said, "Wait a moment."
Everyone paused, and one of them asked skeptically, "Have you changed your mind?"
Xie Zhao stared at him and said, "It's you. Go and hunt two pheasants."
Xie Zhao had to stay in the cave with Jiang Yuzhu to prevent any unexpected situations. He was too busy to prepare breakfast and lunch, otherwise what would his wife eat when she woke up.
The men were speechless again and dispersed.
They did hunt pheasants, and in order to prevent there not being enough food, they also brought back a wild boar and threw it into a pit not far from the cave entrance.
At dawn, Jiang Yuzhu slowly opened her eyes and found that she was resting her head on Xie Zhao's thigh.
No wonder it was a bit hard, making her neck sore.
Rubbing her stiff neck, Jiang Yuzhu looked towards the light at the cave entrance and said with a smile, "Is the sky clearing up after the rain?"
It is easier to find people on a sunny day. Even if Mo Qianyu and the others can't find them, Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao still have a way to leave.
"Ahem."
Xie Zhao covered his chest with his hands and coughed twice again.
Jiang Yuzhu suddenly recalled that Xie Zhao was seriously injured last night. She thought it was because she didn't sleep well, so she said apologetically, "Master, I..."
"It's alright, ma'am."
As Xie Zhao stood up, he felt dizzy. Jiang Yuzhu hurried forward to support him, and for a moment she didn't understand why Xie Zhao suddenly became weak.
She took out the medicine powder and began to change the dressing on Xie Zhao's wound, and then bandaged it with the cloth of her inner clothes.
After doing all this, Jiang Yuzhu pushed the stone away, and suddenly saw that there were not only pheasants but also wild boars at the entrance of the cave.
