Chapter 922 Extra Chapter: Xuan Yun 4
Ji Wenxuan gave Xu Yunzhi an awkward smile and then stopped talking, focusing on eating his meal.
Today he felt that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. First, his heart was racing, then he had a marital illusion. He might really need to see a doctor.
The once dashing young master Ji suddenly became a clueless fool. He had thought that his brother and Lu Hexuan were gay, but he never expected that it would happen to him.
"Ahem, Yunzhi, let's go fishing later!"
Ji Wenxuan felt from the bottom of his heart that today was an unlucky day. Since saying anything would only make him overthink, he might as well choose something to do without talking. That way, he could keep Xu Yunzhi company and avoid making mistakes.
Xu Yunzhi naturally knew that Ji Wenxuan had been acting awkwardly all morning, and since it was Ji Wenxuan's own suggestion, he naturally had no reason to disagree.
"Let's go to the stream then. If we catch a lot, we can grill them right there."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wenxuan immediately became interested. "In that case, let's have a competition to see who can catch more."
"Before that, let's see who gets there first!"
In the morning, the matter was forgotten because of the trip, and the two of them, one on each horse, sped away on the road.
Although they are good friends, they have been fighting every time they meet over the past few years. Whenever they have the chance, the two men will inevitably compete with each other.
The guards disappeared as soon as they went out. If they hadn't known where they were fishing beforehand, they probably wouldn't have been able to find them at all.
Once the guards had prepared all the fishing gear, the two immediately began their competition.
The sun was shining brightly, and apart from the sounds of birds, beasts, mountains, and water, no one made a sound.
"Stop! Don't run away!"
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps approached, followed by a loud shout.
The person in front ran as fast as they could, and kept looking back at the people behind them.
Suddenly, she tripped and fell to the ground. The man behind her rushed forward and grabbed her.
With a sharp "slap," the man slapped the woman across the face, threatening, "Run! Why aren't you running anymore? You think you're so fast? I'd like to see where you can run to."
The man had a fierce look on his face, and when he deliberately acted menacing, he could scare a child to tears.
He slapped the woman and grabbed her hair, and tears streamed down her face. "I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please forgive me this time!"
The woman's choked sobs and pleading were incredibly pitiful.
The two fishermen, relieved of their troubles, glanced back at the two men, then continued fishing as if nothing had happened, as if the two men had never been there at all.
Seeing that the woman was genuinely begging for mercy, the man loosened her hair and shouted, "Come home with me, and we'll see how I deal with you when we get back."
As the man spoke, he pulled the woman back. The woman lowered her head and took a few steps as if resigned to her fate.
Just as the man relaxed his guard, she took off running again.
This time, however, she didn't run in the same direction as before; instead, she ran directly towards the riverbank.
It was obvious that the woman was pondering something!
The man hurriedly turned back to chase after her, but the woman jumped into the water faster. Seeing the woman struggling in the water, the man was anxious but could not go into the water himself, since he was also a non-swimmer.
Ji Wenxuan and Xu Yunzhi stared blankly at the splashing water. Only when the splashing water scared away the fish around them did they turn to look at the girl.
Because she couldn't swim, the woman struggled fiercely in the water, while the two people fishing nearby paid no attention and showed no intention of rescuing her.
The man, who couldn't swim, looked at them and shouted, "What are you all standing around watching? Hurry up and save him!"
The man stared at the two men with an arrogant air, completely unaware that their clothes and appearance did not resemble those of ordinary young masters.
"Hey, hurry up, you guys!"
As the woman struggled and was about to sink, the man's voice became even more urgent.
Ji Wenxuan glanced coldly at the man, a look of displeasure on his face.
With a wave of his hand, someone quickly approached the riverbank and, with a swift movement, pulled the woman out of the river.
"Cough cough!" The woman coughed up a mouthful of water. Seeing that she was about to die but was rescued, she immediately pounded the ground and cried loudly.
"Why did you save me? Just let me die. It would be better to die than to live like this, enduring each day like a year."
By the end, the woman was visibly aggrieved.
She was determined to die, but why wouldn't God let her go? The woman wondered if she had committed some sin in her previous life that had led to this situation.
The woman was crying her heart out, but the guard who had saved her was completely bewildered.
This is a life-saving act, so instead of being grateful, why are you crying and wailing like this?
"Girl, life is not easy for a person, why are you, why are you begging for death!"
The guard couldn't help but speak up, intending to comfort her, but the woman cried even more bitterly.
When the man saw the woman being rescued, he rushed over to help her again, but as soon as he raised his hand, he fell down in pain.
"Who hit me? Who dared to lay a hand on me? Was it you?"
The man looked around and concluded that the only person who could possibly defeat him was the man in front of him, since this man had just rescued the woman and his kung fu was undeniably excellent.
Ji Wenxuan and Xu Yunzhi, who were not far away, clearly looked like they were powerless to fight, so how could they possibly hit him from that distance?
Little did the man know that the moment he raised his hand, it was indeed Ji Wenxuan, whom he perceived as powerless, who had sent the attack.
The guard's gaze swept across the man's face, and just because he knew how to hit women, the guard had no liking for him.
"Who wants to hit you!" the guard replied irritably.
Upon hearing this, the man instantly became like a rooster with its feathers bristling. Pointing at the guard, he cursed, "You brat, it was you who did it! If you don't give me an explanation today, you're not going back home!"
The man said he wanted to grab the guard, but then he realized he couldn't beat him, so he simply sat down on the ground, looking like he was trying to extort money from the guard.
Seeing such a shameless man, the woman cried even harder, while the guard's lips twitched, wishing he could slap him across the face.
“Girl, nothing is insurmountable, so don’t try to kill yourself.”
The guard, too lazy to deal with the rogue, said something to the woman and turned to leave.
But the man wouldn't let him have his way. He immediately grabbed his leg and wouldn't let him leave.
"Ten taels of silver. Give me ten taels of silver and I'll let you leave immediately. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving."
The man had clearly done this more than once or twice; even his actions and tone of voice were practiced to such an extent.
