Chapter 119 doesn't seem to include him?
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, and he let out a suppressed cough.
Jiang Yuzhu spread out the straw, put 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, it wasn't so cold anymore.
"Yuzhu, your husband is tired."
After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he leaned on Jiang Yuzhu's legs.
Originally, he was 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 was a little messy and he did not look as calm and composed as usual.
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 never 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 well and drink enough, then enjoy what you have.
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 black-clad man knelt down and said, "Master, I am late, please forgive me."
The mountain roads are 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, the corners of his lips slightly lowered, 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 that the man was still standing there, and his voice became even colder: "Are you not leaving yet?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They came here to rescue people, so where could they go?
The leader said with a stiff upper lip: "Master, our subordinates are at fault. Save 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?
It makes sense if you think about it carefully, 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, but also about being together through life and death. You haven't married a wife, and you haven't experienced life and death with a woman, so 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's 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.
As he missed the morning court session, Xie Zhao didn't have to go to the government office for duty. It was like 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 continue to love each other at home. Isn’t the soft big bed in Xie’s house more comfortable than a straw mat?
However, their master had unique tastes and they dared not refute him, especially the words “not married”, which were too 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, he will become timid.
It turns out that the master is so reserved and shy behind the scenes.
"Do you have any other instructions?"
No, they immediately retreated at the signal of their subordinates.
Thinking of the culprit, Xie Zhao's face faded: "The barbarian who tracked down the transaction, do you have any clues?"
"Master, our men went around to the other side and found that those people left nothing behind 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 barbarian and his men should be heading out of the city.
After hearing this, Xie Zhao smiled coldly, "Keep on tracking him down. If you find him, don't leave him 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 in a sly voice, "Have you changed your mind?"
Xie Zhao stared at him and said, "It's you. Go and catch two pheasants."
Xie Zhaode 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 and made her neck sore.
Rubbing her stiff neck, Jiang Yuzhu looked at the light from the cave entrance and said with a smile, "Is the sky clearing up after the rain?"
It is easy 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, and thought it was because she did not sleep well, so she said apologetically: "Master, I..."
"Ma'am, it's alright."
As soon 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.
She was startled at first, and only after confirming that the wild boar had fallen into a pool of water did she dare to go and investigate.
It seemed that it had not been dead for long, and the wild boar meat was still fresh.
"Master, come and see!"
Jiang Yuzhu was filled with joy of harvest.
Wild boar meat, as long as it is handled carefully, will not be tough and will become more fragrant the longer it is stewed.
The first step is to soak the wild boar meat in mountain spring water to remove the blood.
Jiang Yuzhu bled the patient skillfully and hummed a little tune.
Xie Zhao leaned against the cave entrance and watched the scene in front of him. Her wife stared at the wild boar with shining eyes, but rarely at him.
"Master, did you kill this wild boar?"
Jiang Yuzhu stopped cutting the pork and asked.
Xie Zhao pursed his lips and nodded slightly. He had ordered his men to hunt pheasants, but these people deliberately set a trap for him. Even if he denied it, the wild boar wouldn't have slipped into the pool and drowned!
As if to confirm Xie Zhao's thoughts, Jiang Yuzhu pointed to the area between the wild boar's eyes and said, "This is the wild boar's fatal spot. The master is really amazing!"
Xie Zhao was so badly injured, yet he still had the strength to fight against the wild boar. No wonder he didn't get better after a night's rest and his face became even paler.
Jiang Yuzhu motioned Xie Zhao to sit on the stone platform to get some fresh air, and said optimistically: "My second brother and the others will definitely find you later. When we get back home, I'll stew wild boar meat for you to nourish your body."
Xie Zhao risked his life to save his wife, in exchange for a meal of wild boar meat prepared by Jiang Yuzhu.
He smiled faintly as he watched Jiang Yuzhu dismember the wild boar: "Madam, keep your word."
As Xie Zhao watched, he realized something was wrong. His wife was extremely skilled in deboning, and she separated the flesh and bones almost perfectly. Her knife skills seemed to be too skillful.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't take it seriously. She found a stone to sharpen her knife and gnashed her teeth, "You treat wild boars as your enemies and bully me and the Jiang family. This is the fate you will suffer!"
Xie Zhao: "..."
This doesn't seem to include him, right?
