Chapter 352 Something Happened
After asking Dazhu to go and watch over Ye Shouren, the head of Wangjia Village remembered that he had not instructed on the details of setting up the cliff fall scene. He was afraid that Dazhu and the other farmers might not be able to do a good job, so after diving, he got up again, intending to look for Dazhu to give him some further guidance in the next few days.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the house where Ye Shouren was imprisoned, they found that all the people who were watching Ye Shouren were asleep, and Ye Shouren was nowhere to be seen.
He carried a bucket of water from the yard and poured it on the people in the house, barely waking up two of them.
Only the two who woke up knew what was happening.
The village chief guessed that Xiao must have run away. Dazhu returned home and found that his parents were sleeping well. Wen Jing was also silent. Then he and the village chief took Xiao all the way to catch up.
Wen Jing and Ye Shouren were not as fast as them, so they were afraid of being caught up, so they had to hide in the mountains.
It was even more difficult to walk in the mountains. Wangjia Village was chosen as a bandit's den for a reason. The terrain here was complex, with cliffs everywhere, and the forests were full of thorns the size of wrists.
This is the only way to get to Wangjia Village, and it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
This mountain can only be a temporary hiding place for Wen Jing and Ye Shouren. If they want to leave here through the mountain through other routes, it is basically impossible.
After walking into the mountains for a while, they saw the villagers holding torches through the gaps in the woods. Fortunately, they decisively hid in the mountains.
There was no way to escape now, and the two could only try to find a place to rest first.
Soon they found a cave. Although the temperature inside was also low, it was better than the freezing cold in the mountains.
Ye Shouren had matches with him, but he dared not light a fire in the cave.
This cave is not far from the road, and the smell of smoke and burning grass can easily spread out and cause danger.
The two of them could only sit in the cave, huddled together.
They escaped at around 10:00 a.m. and entered the mountain at 11:00 a.m.
At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, Wen Jing developed a high fever and kept coughing. Ye Shouren was distressed and couldn't help getting up to see her, only to find that Wen Jing was shaking all over and her face was red.
He reached out and touched her forehead, which was terribly hot.
The temperature at night was so low that Ye Shouren's feet were numb even though he was wearing thick clothes. What's more, Wen Jing was wearing a large cotton-padded jacket that leaked air on her upper body and only a pair of pants on her lower body. She was so cold that she lost feeling in her lower limbs.
If they just hold on like this for the whole night, they'll probably be half dead by tomorrow morning.
In this season, there are many homeless people who have frozen to death on the streets.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Shouren helped Wen Jing up and began to take off her thick cotton jacket.
Although Wen Jing was drowsy from the fever, she was still conscious. She felt Ye Shouren's movements and asked in a muffled voice:
"what you do?"
"We have to keep each other warm. If we hold out until dawn, we'll all be frozen."
As he spoke, Ye Shouren had already stripped the cotton-padded jacket off Wen Jing. He spread the jacket on the ground, then opened his own coat, wrapped Wen Jing in his arms, and then they both lay down on the jacket.
He hugged Wen Jing tightly.
Originally he just wanted to keep warm, but Ye Shouren's cheeks felt hot for no reason, and he almost thought he had a fever.
The throbbing heart was reminding Ye Shouren that this was not the case.
Wen Jing was not willing to keep warm with Ye Shouren in this way. She struggled to get up, but unfortunately she was out of energy at the moment. No matter how hard she struggled, in Ye Shouren's eyes she was like a restless kitten who could be easily subdued.
After tightly restraining Wen Jing, Ye Shouren whispered:
"Don't move around. Get some good sleep. Tomorrow we'll have to rely on you to find a way to escape again. Believe me, this is the most reliable way to keep warm, because the human body is at a constant temperature. If we hug each other, it's like we're each other's hot water bottles."
After he finished speaking, Jian Wenjing gradually gave up struggling, and Ye Shouren breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Shouren grew up amidst the quarrels of his parents, so he had no desire for married life and had never shown any interest in women.
Ye Shouren got a headache when he thought about the possibility of quarrels after marriage, so he thought it was very unlikely for him to fall in love with a woman.
But now, looking at the woman curled up in his arms, three words emerged in Ye Shouren's mind: Something happened!
These three words made Ye Shouren's heart skip a beat.
He didn't dare to sleep and kept observing Wen Jing. Seeing that Wen Jing's legs were getting warm, he quickly got up, tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, wet it in the vortex on the side of the cave, and then continued to hold Wen Jing, wiping her forehead with the wet cloth to cool her down.
I was afraid that she would catch a cold, and I was also afraid that she would catch a burn.
This was repeated many times until he felt Wen Jing's temperature had returned to normal. Then Ye Shouren dared to hug Wen Jing and closed his eyes tiredly.
Wen Jing had a good physique. If she wore thin clothes and was exposed for too long, she would fall ill. Even if she did, she would recover quickly with Ye Shouren's care.
She felt more and more comfortable, and wanted Ye Shouren to hold her again. However, when she raised her head and saw the scars on Ye Shouren's face and the fatigue at the corners of his eyes, and heard his clear and even breathing, she was speechless for a moment.
