The villagers were very polite and helped them up immediately.

“You’re welcome, it’s just a piece of cake. Besides, the one who rescued people this time was the village chief’s wife. If it weren’t for her insistence, no one would dare to bring you back.

In order to save the three of you, she worked without rest for several days and used up all the good medicine in the house."

A villager couldn't help but laugh and tease.

Chu Weiyue was deeply moved and went to the village head's wife to express her gratitude.

"Thank you ma'am for saving my life."

"Okay, you two don't have to be polite. I just feel sympathy for you because I see that you both cherish each other and are unwilling to give up on each other even though you were hurt so badly. You two should stay together well from now on."

The village chief's wife took the two men's hands, put them together, and smiled kindly.

At this moment, a white-haired old man with a gloomy face walked towards this side.

The moment he saw Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi, he instantly became furious.

"Who are you? Why did you come to our village?"

Although he is old, his voice is very loud.

He pointed at Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue's noses and scolded them with confidence.

"We don't allow outsiders in our village. You'd better leave immediately, or I will be rude to you."

He swung up a stick and hit them both hard.

Fortunately, Wen Jingchi dodged quickly and pulled Chu Weiyue into his arms to protect her, so she was not hit.

The village chief and his wife hurried over to stop them.

"Elder Bai, why are you so angry for no reason?"

The village head's wife took his arm and tried to persuade him softly.

He snorted coldly: "It's all your fault! I've told you so many times that outsiders are not allowed to enter our village. Doing so will bring disaster.

Have you forgotten the teachings of our ancestors so quickly? They must leave today."

Chu Weiyue sighed depressedly: "Elder, my friend is still seriously injured and bedridden. I beg you to give me some leniency."

She softened her voice, put on a smile, and tried to get closer to him.

But he didn't give any face at all, instead he sneered coldly.

"I don't care if you are injured or not. Even if you can't even get up, you have to leave. Your life or death has nothing to do with our village. It will only bring disaster to the people here. Leave now."

He argued confidently and kept trying to drive them away.

Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue looked at each other. No matter how much they begged, Elder Bai didn't want them to stay.

In the end, he even got furious.

The village head's wife couldn't bear to watch this anymore and could only grab Elder Bai's arm beggingly.

"Please show some mercy and take them in. They are a couple with a lot of feelings. It would be such a pity if such a loving couple were to be separated."

"Besides, letting them go out now is simply sending them to their deaths. Our ancestors came here to escape disaster and give us a chance to survive. They even organized a lot of innocent people to live here. If we drive them away now, how are they going to survive outside..."

Elder Bai was also a kind-hearted man. After listening to the lobbying of the village head's wife and a group of villagers, he frowned.

Without saying anything to drive him away, he threw the stick in his hand aside.

After thinking for a while, he came to Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue.

Wen Jingchi was afraid that they would hurt Chu Weiyue, so he protected her behind him.

Elder Bai looked at them carefully and asked.

"Who are you? Why did you come here? You got injured and fell into the river. The surging water in the river is not something that ordinary people can withstand. If you don't die, you must be extraordinary people."

This old man obviously has some knowledge.

Wen Jingchi did not want to deceive: "Yes, we are not ordinary people, but soldiers of the court. I am also a general of a certain rank. My wife followed me secretly and went to war with me.

The court and Wateng are fighting fiercely now. We were ambushed, so we fell off the cliff. We survived the disaster and landed in your precious place. I hope the old man will give us some convenience. After recuperation, we will leave as soon as possible. "

Wen Jingchi put his hands together and bent his body, not caring about his identity at this moment.

Here, his status as a prince has no advantage at all.

“Well, since you are lucky enough to end up in our village after so many twists and turns, it can be considered that we are destined to meet.

All of us here are not allowed to have second thoughts. You are not allowed to walk around the village at will, and you are not allowed to have any evil thoughts, otherwise I will kick you out immediately."

"Thank you, Elder."

Chu Weiyue smiled brightly, clasped her hands together, and bowed to him.

Elder Bai's expression improved at this point. He scolded him with a cold face, then turned and left.

The village head’s wife gave a few more instructions before going back.

Returning to where he lived, Chu Weiyue let out a long sigh.

Because Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue were already well, there weren't many people here, and those who were responsible for taking care of them had all gone home.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wen Jingchi took Chu Weiyue towards the mountains.

There is a very dense bamboo forest here. I walked for a long time but couldn't find the way. It was like a maze.

Even if Chu Weiyue knew the direction, it would not work here.

After walking for half an hour, Chu Weiyue was so tired that he was panting and sat down on a big rock.

"This place is too secluded. I don't think they are from the Wa Teng clan. Who do you think they are?"

"They probably lived here many years ago to escape the war. They have been here for a hundred years. There were many wars hundreds of years ago. Judging from their current accents, they should be from the Central Plains."

Chu Weiyue nodded, agreeing with Wen Jingchi's words.

The village was indeed hidden, and they had been walking for so long but still hadn't found a way out.

No wonder they were able to avoid the war for so many years.

They even reproduce here, and this continues from generation to generation.

After picking some bamboo shoots, Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi held hands and walked slowly down, admiring the scenery there.

Thinking of the current situation in the court, Chu Weiyue sighed worriedly.

"We should hurry back to the imperial court. I think Wen Chenxuan is already restless. The longer we stay here, the worse it will be for us."

Wen Jingchi shook his head gently: "It's rare to have a good rest, why don't we live a leisurely pastoral life here? Wen Chenxuan must have thought I was dead and was busy announcing it to the world. This way, we can temporarily relax the border."

Those people in Waten are also ambitious. If the two sides fight fiercely at this time, it will be a good thing for us. However, Waten is unlikely to defeat the people in the imperial court.

Let Wen Chenxuan clean up the mess, wouldn't it be better for us to show up at the right time? The war is just over, we can return to the court and have some fun here."
