Chapter 17 Falling off a cliff
Lu Shiyan was concentrating on dealing with the wolves and protecting the Lu family, and did not notice Jiang Caiwei's gentle cry for help.
When a strong force suddenly rushed towards him, he subconsciously thought it was a wolf, so he swung his sword and stabbed. It was not until the sword was about to stab Jiang Caiwei that he realized it was a human. He hurriedly retracted the sword, but this distraction gave the wolf king next to him an opportunity.
A huge wolf with gray fur jumped and suddenly pounced towards Lu Shiyan.
Lu Jingcheng was nervous, afraid, and admiring as he watched his father fight the wolves. Seeing this, he shouted anxiously, "Daddy, be careful!"
Lu Shiyan leaned back to avoid the wolf king's attack, then stabbed the wolf king with a sword.
But the wolf king is obviously much more difficult to deal with than ordinary wolves.
Not only was it huge, it also seemed to have a certain level of intelligence. Lu Shiyan's sword stabbed into the air and was nearly bitten by the wolf king.
Jiang Caiwei looked at Lu Shiyan who was trying hard to kill the wolf, and then looked at the chaos on the side who had no time to care about the officers and soldiers here. Suddenly, a crazy idea came to her mind.
Why didn't she take this opportunity to leave with him?
If she didn't leave, even if she killed Jiang Tangtang, he would not be able to be with her because of the Lu family between them.
But if they left, went to a strange place, and lived in hiding...
Anyway, he has been exiled now and is no longer the prince of Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
The more Jiang Caiwei thought about it, the more excited she became. She found the right opportunity, pretended to be frightened, and pounced on Lu Shiyan again.
Her plan was to pretend it was an accident, fall down the right slope with him, and then find a way to convince Lu Shiyan to find a place to hide with her.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know what Jiang Caiwei was thinking. She just felt that Jiang Caiwei was always around Lu Shiyan, which greatly affected his performance.
He wanted to go over and pull her away, but he didn't expect to run into Jiang Caiwei plotting against Lu Shiyan. Instead of pulling her away, he got himself involved.
The three of them fell off the cliff together.
Yes, cliff.
As luck would have it, the few of them did not fall down the relatively gentle slope that Jiang Caiwei had planned, but the steep cliff on the other side.
The moment she fell, Jiang Tangtang sighed in her heart and thought it was bad luck. If she had known earlier, she would have stayed there obediently and not gotten involved.
Then she felt herself falling into the water.
The water was freezing cold. She didn't die of shock from falling off the cliff, but she was almost frozen to death by the water in the river.
She tried to get up from the river, but her hands and feet were stiff and she couldn't move at all.
At this time, Jiang Tangtang didn't care about being exposed or not, and concentrated on entering the space.
It took a long time after entering the space for Jiang Tangtang to regain consciousness in his hands and feet.
She checked her body and found no external injuries, but perhaps because of falling from a height, she felt pain all over her body and as if her bones were about to fall apart.
She went to the bathroom with a grimace, filled a bathtub with hot water, lay down in it, cleared her mind, and decided to ignore everything for the time being.
At the same time, Lu Shiyan and Jiang Caiwei also fell into the river one after another.
Although Lu Shiyan felt the water was freezing cold when he fell into the river, at least he had some martial arts skills, so he was not frozen to the point of being unable to move like Jiang Tangtang.
He quickly emerged from the water.
Thinking about what happened the moment before he fell off the cliff, his eyes darkened. Just as he was about to go find Jiang Tangtang, he felt someone hugging his legs.
He hesitated for a moment and then pulled Jiang Caiwei to the shore.
Just as he was about to jump into the water again, Jiang Caiwei rushed over with her clothes disheveled, "Shi Yan, I'm so cold and scared. Please don't leave me, okay?"
Lu Shiyan took a step back swiftly, avoiding physical contact with her.
His eyes were like cold knives, and his voice was icy as he spoke, "Logically speaking, since you deliberately pushed my husband and me off the cliff, I shouldn't have saved you and should have let you drown in the river. I saved your life just now because of Third Uncle and for the Lu family's sake. If you continue to be ungrateful, I don't mind getting some blood on my hands."
Lu Shiyan's cold face made Jiang Caiwei sad and scared, and the twisted emotions in her heart became more and more crazy.
She touched the medicine powder wrapped in oil paper and hidden close to her body, and a hint of madness, determined to win, flashed in her eyes.
Lu Shiyan's old injuries had not yet healed, and he had just fought with a pack of wolves. After falling off the cliff, he swam back and forth in the icy water in order to find Jiang Tangtang. Even a body of iron could not withstand such abuse.
When he came out of the water again, his face was pale and his body shook uncontrollably.
Seeing him staggering and about to faint at any moment, Jiang Caiwei's eyes suddenly flashed with ecstasy.
She was just wondering, given his alertness, how could she put the knockout drug in his water bottle without anyone noticing and trick him into eating it!
But seeing him like this, she felt relieved.
The way he was, he couldn't escape from her clutches even without her putting any medicine in his body.
But to be safe, she endured the cold, took off all her clothes, went over and hugged Lu Shiyan and said, "Shiyan, let's find a place to rest first, and then look for another place after we warm up, okay?"
Lu Shiyan threw her away as if he had encountered something dirty. There was uncontrollable anger in his cold voice, "Get out!"
Jiang Caiwei hadn't expected him to be so strong even though he was so sick. Furthermore, he avoided her advances like the plague.
She felt very hurt and wronged, but when she looked at the kettle that she had just taken the opportunity to pull from his waist, a triumphant smile appeared on her face again.
She was not wearing anything now, and considering his self-proclaimed gentlemanly character, he would definitely not even glance at her.
She quickly took out the powder she had hidden on her body and poured it into his water bottle.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the kettle, Jiang Caiwei picked up the jacket she had thrown on the ground, put it on, and hurried after him.
"Shi Yan, don't get me wrong. I just undressed because my clothes were wet and uncomfortable. Wait for me, your water bottle fell. Don't worry, I was just confused for a moment, I've put my clothes on now."
Lu Shiyan ignored her cries and continued to look for Jiang Tangtang. However, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and his legs were getting weaker and weaker. He couldn't hold on for long before his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground helplessly.
"Shi Yan, are you okay?" Jiang Caiwei ran over, and as if she had thought of something, she took a step back and handed the kettle over from a distance, saying, "Drink some water and rest before you look for it."
She lowered her head and advised sincerely, "If you fall, there will be no one to save your cousin, and Heng'er and his siblings will be without a father. What will they do in the future?"
"Put down the kettle and get away from me!" Thinking of the three brothers and sisters, Lu Shiyan couldn't help feeling irritated and anxious.
Although he killed the wolf king with the last blow before falling off the cliff, he was not sure whether the remaining wolves would stop attacking people after the wolf king died...
"Okay, I'll put it down and leave. Don't worry, I won't be confused again."
Jiang Caiwei carefully placed the kettle in front of him, then moved away and hid under a big rock.
Seeing him go into the water again, I don't know how long it took for him to come out of the water bottle. He took a sip from the water bottle and fell to the ground. A sense of ecstasy suddenly rose in my heart.
She quickly ran over and tried to pull Lu Shiyan under the big rock where he had been hiding from the rain. But although Lu Shiyan was thin, he was tall and it was impossible for her to drag him.
