Hua Fushu bent his finger slightly, it hurt a lot, probably hurting his bones. "It hurts, I'm afraid I moved my bones."
Ye Zelin asked again: "Does your face still hurt?"
Hua Fushu touched her face and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." Sai Yuhuan had only pinched her face, leaving a few red marks on her cheeks, which didn't hurt much.
Immediately, she asked, "Ye Zelin, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Hearing her relaxed tone, Ye Zelin continued, "Are you sure your face is okay? Didn't you get slapped a few times?"
Sai Yuhuan didn't slap her. When he asked, Hua Fushu quickly confirmed what he said and said pitifully, "It still hurts a little. My dear, if I get disfigured, you must not despise me. I did this all for you."
Ye Zelin laughed back and said, "How could I dislike you?"
Hua Fushu gritted his teeth and said, "Husband, when we get out of here, you have to help me get revenge. Slap that big boss a few times and break her fingers. Humph, I want to pay back everything she gave me. No, I want to pay her back tenfold."
Ye Zelin smiled helplessly. This girl was not only calm and fearless in the bandit's lair, but she was already thinking about revenge before she even left. However, she was right. They had to get out alive. Only by getting out alive could they take revenge.
Hua Fushu remembered something very important. "Oh, that boss is a woman. Don't underestimate her because she's a woman. Her martial arts skills are amazing. She knocked me down in just ten moves. You and Sister Yu may not be her match, but my senior brother may be able to fight her."
Ye Zelin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So you still want to go out."
The bandits of Qingyun Mountain were all skilled fighters. Third-in-command Yin Jiujiu's archery skills alone were unmatched, let alone the other leaders, who knew for sure if they were superior to Yin Jiujiu. Regardless of whether he and Hua Fushu could escape the cell, even if they could, they couldn't escape Qingyun Mountain.
Hua Fushu was annoyed: "Can't I just think about it?"
She suddenly thought of Yu Chisu and glanced at the cell where Ye Zelin was, but there was no sign of Yu Chisu. "Where's Sister Yu? She's not with you."
Ye Zelin shook his head. "No, Miss Yu and I were imprisoned separately after we came in, so I don't know where Miss Yu is."
"I don't know either. They just locked me up here. Since you're fine, Sister Yu must be fine too." Hua Fushu thought that since Ye Zelin was fine, Yu Chisu should be fine too. But she didn't understand why the bandits didn't lock Yu Chisu up with Ye Zelin. "Why did these people lock you and Sister Yu up separately? Are they afraid that you'll escape?"
Ye Zelin rolled his eyes at Hua Fushu. The night was dark, and Hua Fushu couldn't see his expression. "I don't know where Miss Yu is, but I think she should be fine."
Yu Chisu was fine, so Hua Fushu felt relieved. "I'm glad Sister Yu is okay."
Ye Zelin suddenly said, "Why are you so concerned about Miss Yu? You call her sister all the time, it's so familiar."
Hua Fushu frowned, but soon realized that Ye Zelin was asking her if she was jealous of Yu Chisu again. "Some things can be relieved if they are talked out and made clear. Instead of being jealous and petty, stirring up trouble and getting a bad reputation, it is better to be open and honest, treat others with kindness, and forgive yourself and others. Only when you are happy and I am happy can we be happy. I don't think too much of you. It's only right to ask Sister Yu. Don't worry, Sister Yu, I believe you for now."
Ye Zelin understood most of the first half of what she said. She said that she and Yu Chi Su had reconciled and it was not worth it to make herself a jealous woman. Fortunately, Yu Chi Su was a good person and she could be friends with her. But her last sentence was a bit ambiguous. What did she mean? Did she think he had some feelings for Yu Chi Su?
Yu Chi Su is the type of tomboy. According to Ye Zelin's standards for a wife, Yu Chi Su doesn't even reach the borderline. Hua Fu Shu is neither dignified nor serious. He doesn't have many thoughts about Hua Fu Shu, let alone any improper thoughts about Yu Chi Su. Besides, he is not the kind of man who is fickle.
Therefore, he felt that Hua Fushu's words were completely redundant.
However, Hua Fushu's thoughts were completely different from his. She only believed him temporarily, and did not let go of her doubts and speculations about him.
Trust is indispensable for two people to get along. They have been married for nearly half a year and have been together for two or three months. Doesn't she have some trust in him?
Ye Zelin sighed softly, "Just be at ease."
Hua Fushu approached Ye Zelin and whispered, "Qiao'er and the others should be fine."
Ye Zelin also whispered back to her, "I'm glad you're alright."
Hua Fushu reached out, touched Ye Zelin's big hand and held it. She said, "You know, I was really scared when I went up the mountain. I was really afraid that they would kill me."
Ye Zelin held her hand tightly and asked, "Do you know why you came to Qingyun Mountain?"
He knew her feelings. No matter how much she liked him, could it be as important as her own safety? Knowing it was a dead end, she still went up the mountain to save him, putting herself in danger.
Interlocking their fingers, so close, Hua Fushu felt that this was a kind of happiness. "I value my own life, and I don't want you to lose yours, so I came here. We live together and die together."
Ye Zelin said calmly: "We won't die, we will live well." Even if he died, he would protect her.
Hua Fushu lifted their clasped hands, only a blurry shadow in the twilight. She smiled and said, "Life is so long. I don't want to end up like a short-lived ghost here. I want to live a happy and harmonious life with you. It's not worth dying in the wilderness."
"Madam is right, we still have a lifetime." Ye Zelin said.
Brother Niu, the guard outside, had listened to all the sweet talk for a while, his ears were almost callused. He was almost dead, but he still had the mind to talk about love and express his feelings. He picked up an empty wine jug and threw it back. With a loud bang, the wine jug shattered, accompanied by his angry roar: "Are you done yet? You keep nagging, are you bored?"
Hearing the groundless curses, Hua Fushu really wanted to curse at Brother Niu. She hadn't even finished eating the pheasant when it was caught and brought up the mountain. She was a little hungry and was about to speak when Ye Zelin pulled her clothes to stop her.
Ye Zelin was in a good mood and said, "Sorry, brother, we won't talk about it anymore."
Hua Fushu was a little dissatisfied with this: "Why should I apologize? They are a couple and don't even talk to each other. Don't be a lonely person."
Just as Hua Fushu said, this Brother Niu was indeed a lonely man. He lost his wife and son in his early years and became impoverished. Finally, he ended up becoming a bandit in Qingyun Mountain. Fortunately, the boss was kind and never asked him to do life-threatening jobs such as robbing houses and occupying mountaintops. He had to make a living by doing light work, such as guarding and doing odd jobs.
The words "alone and helpless" really hurt Brother Niu's heart. He picked up the lantern and the key hanging on his waist, intending to open the cell and go in to teach Hua Fushu a lesson for talking too much.
Ye Zelin hurriedly stood up, took a few steps forward, bowed, apologized sincerely, and said all the nice things he could. Only then did Brother Niu spare Hua Fushu, glanced at Hua Fushu coldly, and then went back to sit with the lantern.
