Turning around, Jiang Mingjin slumped into a chair, covering her head with her hands, her eyes red, and muttering to herself.
"I just... didn't want her to die."
He believed that Jiang Mingwei wouldn't disappear without a reason, so he hoped that even if she was doing something wrong, even if she might have offended the Grand Duchess and the Lady of Huaiguo, it wouldn't matter.
As her elder brother, he had his own way of protecting her safety, and he didn't want Jiang Mingwei to really be dead!
But there's the cliff, the marks on the ground, the horse struck by an arrow, and the two people who have disappeared.
No matter how he thought about it, he could only imagine an extremely terrifying scenario...
So... is Jiang Mingwei really dead?
From this day forward, he will have no relatives in the world except his wife and children!
No……
If Jiang Mingwei dies, no one will be able to cure the poison in his wife's body.
After a long, long time, he may just be a lonely old man who is forgotten by everyone.
...
Below the cliff, the water flows swiftly.
The rushing sound drowned out the noise of the woods, splashing water everywhere and forming a thin layer of mist that limited visibility as one walked through it.
A wild rabbit was drinking water by the stream when suddenly an arm popped out of the water, scaring it so much that it turned and ran away!
As he ran, he didn't forget to look back once.
It was a man soaking wet, dragging an unconscious woman along.
With great effort, the two finally climbed ashore...
Lying on the shore, panting heavily, Wei Jing looked up.
The high and steep cliffs cleaved the sky into a long strip.
He was both shocked and moved.
He didn't die! He and Jiang Mingwei actually survived!
Who would have thought that they would fall into the water, and that the groundwater level in that area was extremely deep, and he almost couldn't climb out.
With his last bit of strength, he finally swam out of the deep water and climbed ashore with Jiang Mingwei.
Oh, right, Jiang Mingwei...
Having practiced martial arts for many years, Wei Jing felt little pain except for the dull ache he felt after falling straight into the stream.
But Jiang Mingwei, who was in his arms, fainted immediately after seeing the steep cliff!
Just because we rescued her doesn't mean she's okay right now.
Wei Jing quickly propped himself up to check on her, reaching out to feel her breath—
Oh no, he's about to stop breathing!
Wei Jing's expression turned stern. He immediately turned over and shook Jiang Mingwei vigorously, trying to wake her up.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wake up, wake up!"
No matter how much he tried to wake her up, Jiang Mingwei showed no signs of waking up.
Her delicate face was pale and bluish-white, and the warmth in her body was gradually dissipating.
If we don't save her soon, she might really die!
At this moment, Wei Jing was caught in an extreme struggle and dilemma.
Saving Jiang Mingwei is simple; he naturally knows what to do, but...
Looking at Jiang Mingwei's pale face, her usual radiant smile kept flashing through his mind.
Wei Jing's expression gradually hardened.
He was simply saving someone; why should he be afraid of the strict separation between men and women?
He immediately bent down and breathed into her mouth...
Their soft lips met, and Wei Jing inexplicably recalled the night he took Chinese medicine and the romantic past he shared with Jiang Mingwei.
I thought it was just a pipe dream, but now it's actually happening again...
Previously, he could be said to have completely lost his rationality.
But at this moment, he was perfectly clear-headed and craved this tenderness!
However, Wei Jing was not greedy and did not forget that the most important thing to do right now was to save her life.
He quickly got up, placed his hands on her chest, pressed down hard, and then breathed into her mouth, repeating this process until the third time, when Jiang Mingwei finally spat out a large mouthful of water...
She coughed violently, and her face gradually regained its color. A hint of joy appeared in Wei Jing's eyes, and his voice was filled with suppressed happiness.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake?"
Jiang Mingwei opened her eyes in a daze and saw a magnified handsome face.
Her dark hair was damp and clung to her face, making her eyebrows and eyes appear even more deep and captivating.
She subconsciously reached out to touch it, muttering to herself as she did so.
"Am I in hell? What's going on? How come there are such incredibly handsome guys in hell...?"
Wei Jing's body stiffened, letting her icy little hands caress him at will, his earlobes flushed red, and after a long while he coughed lightly.
"You're not dead, we're not dead either, we're at the bottom of the cliff right now."
Upon hearing the familiar, cool voice, Jiang Mingwei suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked around, then at the handsome face being held in her hands.
Good heavens! Who else could it be but Wei Jing?!
She screamed in fright, immediately released him, and her heart pounded wildly with fear.
"Oh...it's my second brother! I'm sorry, I was just dreaming!" Jiang Mingwei said with an embarrassed smile.
Looking up at the towering cliffs that seemed to pierce the clouds, she felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but shiver.
Falling from such a height, she and Wei Jing actually survived; they're even more resilient than cockroaches!
Or perhaps they are people destined by heaven, and therefore will not die easily?
She had many thoughts, but when she tried to climb up from the slippery rocks, the pain from almost shattered bones all over her body still made her groan uncontrollably, and her face instantly turned pale...
"It feels like a hundred horse-drawn carriages are running over me! It hurts so much!" Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but complain.
Wei Jing stepped forward and helped her up from the ground, explaining in a deep voice, "You fell from a very high place, but fortunately you landed in the water and survived. However, it's inevitable that you'll be in pain, and you may have suffered some internal injuries."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingwei checked her pulse.
Just as Wei Jing had said, the pulse was indeed damaged, but not severely, and could be relieved with a little rest.
She glanced at Wei Jing beside her, who seemed completely unaffected, and decided to take his pulse as well.
Wait, why is his pulse normal?
Just as Jiang Mingwei was puzzled, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she stopped in place, motionless.
"Second brother, do you know you've been poisoned?"
Wei Jing lowered his eyes, looking at the cuts on his body; the dark red toxin had already spread along his blood vessels...
"Know."
"Then why are you acting like nothing's wrong? Aren't you feeling unwell? This poison is quite potent; you should be feeling very uncomfortable right now!"
Jiang Mingwei was astonished, not expecting him to be in such good physical condition, remaining calm even after being poisoned.
But then they saw Wei Jing's long eyelashes tremble slightly, and his wet face looked just like an adorable big dog.
"It's not safe here. Let's take you to a safe place first."
With just one sentence, Jiang Mingwei's heart collapsed...
So... he did it for himself?
With her lips pursed, Jiang Mingwei said no more and looked around with him, searching for a place to rest for the time being.
Finally, a cave came into view in the distance.
The two supported each other as they walked over...
Nowadays, there is no longer any prohibition against men and women touching each other.
Jiang Mingwei felt that saying such things would only tarnish their pure revolutionary friendship.
At this moment, they should be called comrades-in-arms!
