"spa?"
Jiang Jingyu, who was feeding the horse, raised her head in surprise.
It was a hot day today, and the clothes on her back were all wet after a day's journey. She was worried about having no place to change her clothes, but she didn't expect there was a hot spring in the cave.
Jiang Jingyu stuffed the grass in her hand into the horse's mouth, turned around and ran into the cave.
After noticing the mist in the cave, Jiang Jingyu waved her hand and tossed the soft sword to Tan Tai Si: "Ah Si, keep watch for me."
After saying that, Jiang Jingyu went to the misty hot spring alone.
Tan Tai Si raised his hand and took the sword steadily in his hand, watching Jiang Jingyu's figure disappear from his sight.
He raised her sword to his eyes and looked at it, then closed his eyes and listened quietly to the movements behind the mist.
First there was the rustling sound of clothes being taken off, then the splashing of water.
Tan Tai Si opened his eyes, concealing his aura and disappearing into the mist. While Jiang Jingyu was in the hot spring, he quietly came to the clothes she had taken off.
He had searched her bag at the inn, but found nothing there except clothes.
Since the jade pendant is not the key, perhaps she has something else on her that can suppress the poison in his body.
Tan Tai Si quietly rummaged through the clothes she took off, one by one, and finally saw the goose yellow bellyband wrapped in the clothes, and his face turned red!
He hurriedly put down her clothes, flew out of the cave, and finally stood guard outside the cave like a door god.
The moment Tan Tai Si came out, the two horses that were eating grass with their heads down looked at him.
He didn't know if it was Tan Tai Si's illusion, but he always felt that the two horses were smiling at him, and there was a hint of ill intention in their smiles.
Tan Tai Si's ears seemed to be ripe, and he flew away from the two horses.
Since Jiang Jingyu was taking a hot spring bath, Tan Tai Si was afraid that someone would break into the cave and did not dare to go too far. He came to the dense forest in front of the cave and looked for prey while keeping an eye on the situation on the other side of the cave.
Jiang Jingyu took a comfortable bath. When she came out after putting on her clothes, Tan Tai Si had already cleaned the wild rabbit.
The two of them built a bonfire and roasted a rabbit. Compared to the previous few days, Tan Tai Si spoke much less today.
He took advantage of the light from the flowers to cast his gaze on Jiang Jingyu's face several times, and several times he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Jiang Jingyu seemed to be looking at the rabbit in her hand, but her peripheral vision was always paying attention to Tan Tai Si's movements. Seeing him turn his head to look at her several times, Jiang Jingyu spoke lightly.
"Ah Si, do you have something to say to me?"
Tan Tai Si showed his two small canine teeth: "No, what's wrong, sister?"
"Nothing. I don't like beating around the bush. If you have anything to say to me, just say it directly."
Jiang Jingyu put the roasted rabbit in front of her nose and smelled it, and winked at Tan Tai Si as she spoke.
"Everyone has their own bottom line. Mine is no lying or cheating. As long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, I'm happy to listen to anything."
Jiang Jingyu reminded Tan Tai Si of his bottom line in a joking tone and gave him a way out.
Tan Tai Si clenched his fists under his sleeves again and again, but in the end he did not tell her about the lie he had told her.
He was afraid. He was afraid that she would hate him after knowing that he had been lying to her from the beginning.
Anyway, his life is coming to an end and he will disappear from her world forever. If he is lucky enough to occupy a little of her heart, he hopes that she will remember him as a good person, not a liar who is annoying to think about.
Thinking of this, Tan Tai Si smiled and looked at Jiang Jingyu as usual: "Like my sister, I also hate lying and deceiving."
Jiang Jingyu had already given Tan Tai Si a chance, but he refused, so she didn't continue the topic.
After dinner, the two returned to the cave, found a spacious place and spread a meadow with weeds.
Jiang Jingyu simply lay down on her side and ignored Tan Tai Si.
Tan Tai Si did not make a sound to disturb them. He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and held it tightly in his hand, waiting for midnight to come to verify his guess.
When midnight arrived, waves of pain spread through his body.
Tan Tai Si slowly opened his eyes and put the handkerchief containing Jiang Jingyu's hair back into his arms.
It turns out that his antidote is her.
…
A dreamless night.
The next day, the two of them continued on their journey as usual.
However, Jiang Jingyu was riding in front today, not walking side by side with Tan Tai Si as usual.
Overnight, an invisible barrier seemed to rise between the two of them.
Tan Tai Si saw that she didn't want to pay attention to him, so he didn't chase her and followed her slowly.
The two of them traveled for a whole day and finally stopped at a deserted bamboo house.
"Sister, I'm going out to get some food."
Jiang Jingyu, who was tidying up her apartment, hummed indifferently without even turning her head.
Faced with her sudden indifference, Tan Tai Si's heart ached violently, as if something important was being pulled away bit by bit.
He looked at Jiang Jingyu deeply, then walked out while enduring the pain in his body.
Tan Tai Si went straight to a dark forest. The moment his breath appeared in the forest, a black shadow jumped down from a tree.
"master."
The man in black knelt on one knee in front of Tan Tai Si and called out respectfully.
"How's things going in the palace? Is mother okay?"
"In reply to the master, ever since the master left Miaojiang, the king and the great prince have been sending people to secretly search for the master and his wife. They have searched the palace thoroughly."
"But don't worry, Master. Madam has been staying in the other courtyard. No one has discovered her whereabouts."
"Well, take good care of mother. I can detoxify her once I get the purple pearl grass."
As night fell, the poison in Tan Tai Si's body once again swept through his entire body.
He staggered and held onto a tree trunk nearby. Seeing this, the man in black hurried forward to support him.
"Didn't the master say he had found a jade pendant that could suppress the poison? Why is the pain still unbearable?"
Tan Tai Si shook his head: "The jade pendant is not the key. Only when I touch it will the pain in my body disappear."
"Is there something special about her body?"
Without waiting for Tan Tai Si's reply, the black-clothed man's eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand, it must be her special physique that is able to suppress the poison in the master's body!"
"Master, I have thought of a way to deter the poison in her body even when you are not around!"
Tan Tai Si frowned: "What method?"
The man in black spoke each word with emphasis: "Drink blood and take medicine!"
"shut up!"
Tan Tai Si brushed the man in black away, his eyes suddenly filled with coldness. "I'm warning you to put away your inappropriate thoughts. I will never allow anyone to hurt her!"
"Master, you..."
"Go back to Miao territory!"
Under Tan Tai Si's harsh rebuke, the man in black clasped his hands together and then disappeared into the dense forest in a flash.
Tan Tai Si dragged his body in unbearable pain to look for prey. As soon as he left, the man in black came back.
He looked in the direction where Tan Tai Si left, his eyes determined.
"Master, I'm sorry, I can't obey your command this time!"
