"Shh, are you trying to lure the pursuers here?”Pei Chenshuo stepped forward and covered Si Muran's lips with a serious expression.
Si Muran clenched her fists, feeling like she wanted to swallow Pei Chenshuo whole. Si Muran pushed Pei Chenshuo's hand away and glared at him fiercely.""You teased me and repaid kindness with ingratitude. I don't care about you anymore. You can fend for yourself here.”
Si Muran was so angry that she wanted to throw Pei Chenshuo into the forest and not care about his life or death. Just as she was about to leave, Pei Chenshuo said,""Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Si Muran turned around and her eyes widened. She saw Pei Chenshuo wave the stone in his hand and a wild rabbit in the forest fell to the ground.
Si Muran was so shocked that she could not speak. Pei Chenshuo walked towards the gray rabbit. "Have you eaten roasted rabbit meat before?" Pei Chenshuo asked as he mentioned the wild rabbit.
Si Muran gulped and shook her head. Pei Chenshuo smiled,""Let's go. Aren't you hungry?"
Si Muran had long forgotten about her words about leaving Pei Chenshuo to fend for himself. She obediently followed behind Pei Chenshuo, ready to taste the roasted rabbit meat.
After starting the fire, Si Muran's eyes were fixed on the rabbit on the grill. Although he often saw the ancients roasting chickens, fish, and rabbits in the wild on television, he did not expect to be there himself.
Si Muran thought that modern barbeque probably evolved from ancient times. Just as she was thinking about it, Si Muran smelled the fragrance of meat.
Si Muran took the rabbit leg from Pei Chenshuo and started eating. For a hungry person, as long as there was something to fill his stomach, it was not bad. He did not care about the taste at all.
Si Muran gobbled down half of the rabbit, but when she looked up, she saw Pei Chenshuo's face getting paler and paler, as if he was trying his best to support himself.
"What's wrong? Is the poison acting up?”Si Muran threw away the bone in her hand and wiped her hands on her clothes before placing it on Pei Chenshuo's forehead.
Pei Chenshuo nodded." I used my inner energy when I was picking wild fruits and hunting wild rabbits. It seems like the poison in my body is acting up again."”
" We can't go on like this," Si Muran said anxiously." Let's hurry out of this forest and find a clinic to cure you."”Si Muran said as she went to support Pei Chenshuo.
Pei Chenshuo felt weak all over, and the pain in his body made his forehead covered in sweat. Si Muran was supporting him. In fact, all the weight was on Si Muran's body.
Si Muran was only worried about Pei Chenshuo's poison, and this time, Pei Chenshuo's poison seemed to be more severe than usual. From morning to afternoon, Si Muran had walked in the forest for six hours. Pei Chenshuo was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, causing Si Muran to be severely exhausted.
At dusk, Si Muran finally saw the village in front of her. "We're finally out." Si Muran turned around and looked at Pei Chenshuo. Her expression softened slightly.
Pei Chenshuo nodded, a smile on his pale face.
Perhaps Si Muran had found hope and finally collapsed. Pei Chenshuo called her name in a panic,""Muran, Muran."
Pei Chenshuo forced himself up and hugged Si Muran in his arms. When he looked up, he saw a hunter walking towards them.
When Si Muran slowly woke up, the sky outside had already darkened. The room was a little simple and crude. There was no decent furniture in the wooden hut.
"Thank you for saving me today, big brother. My wife and I went out to visit relatives and didn't want to be robbed by bandits. All our money was stolen, so we ended up here.”
Si Muran's face darkened when she heard Pei Chenshuo's voice. She did not expect Pei Chenshuo's ability to make up stories to be so good.
"Hey, brother, you don't have to be so polite. You and I are fated to know each other. You two husband and wife just need to stay here.”Si Muran got off the bed and walked out to find that Pei Chenshuo was talking to a hunter.
At this moment, Pei Chenshuo was helping the hunter deal with the prey that had just been caught. The hunter's wife walked out and saw Si Muran's face. She said happily,"Sister, you're awake."
Pei Chenshuo turned around and walked to Si Muran's side.""How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Si Muran looked at the concerned expression on Pei Chenshuo's face and was slightly taken aback. She sized him up and realized that Pei Chenshuo was dressed in coarse clothes. He did not have a trace of the noble air of a prince. Instead, he had a more stable feeling.
"I'm much better after resting for a while." Si Muran replied.
Pei Chenshuo nodded and said to Si Muran,""It was Big Brother Chen and Big Sister-in-law Chen who saved us.”
Si Muran looked gratefully at the hunter and his wife.""Thank you for saving my life, big brother and sister-in-law.”
The hunter's name was Chen Yong, and his wife, Li Shi, was a local commoner. Although they lived in poverty, they were simple and kind.
That Chen Yong gave a simple and honest smile and said," Presumably, my brothers and sisters must be hungry. Wait a moment. I've also caught some wild game today for you to taste later."”
Si Muran thanked him gratefully." Thank you, Big Brother and Sister-in-law. I've really troubled you."”
Consort Li stepped forward and held Si Muran's hand.""There's no trouble at all. Let's go into the house and talk.”
Pei Chenshuo nodded at Si Muran, who smiled and followed Madam Li into the room. There was also a little girl of six or seven years old playing alone in the corner.
The little girl wasn't afraid of strangers when she saw Si Muran and only smiled sweetly at her. Si Muran asked,""Sister-in-law, is this your daughter? She's really beautiful."
Consort Li poured a glass of water and handed it to Si Muran, a blissful expression on her face.""Yes, Ah Yong and I only have one child. I'm really happy to see her grow up day by day.”
Si Muran took a sip of the water that Consort Li had handed her, but she heard Consort Li say,""I see that the two of you are very loving. Don't you have children yet?”
Si Muran blushed and lowered her head slightly.""My husband and I have only been married for more than half a year.”
"I think you two are a perfect match." Madame Lee nodded.”
Si Muran smiled awkwardly. She had not even married yet and had already become Pei Chenshuo's wife. However, she did not feel disgusted when she heard others praise her. Instead, she was secretly happy.
Pei Chenshuo heard Si Muran's words clearly from outside the house. When he heard Si Muran talking about me and my husband, Pei Chenshuo felt that his heart was actually hoping that it was true.
Dinner was quickly prepared. Chen Yong used the prey he hunted to make a pot of meat. The fragrance of the meat assailed his nostrils. The five of them sat around the table and tasted the rare game.
Pei Chenshuo gently picked up a piece of meat for Si Muran. Chen Yong and Consort Li only looked at them and smiled. Si Muran lowered her head and ate in embarrassment.
"Sister, what do you think of the taste?”Consort Li asked.
Si Muran tasted the meat, nodded and asked,""Why didn't you add salt? If there was salt, the taste would be even more delicious.”
Chen Yong and Consort Li looked at each other and heard Chen Yong say,""Little sister, you might not know this, but this salt is controlled by the Imperial Court. Most people in our remote village can't afford it.”
Si Muran suddenly understood. She stole a glance at Pei Chenshuo and saw his expression fluctuating slightly.
"There's a salt mine nearby. Someone secretly went to get it and ate it. In the end, they died from eating it." No one dared to eat salt anymore.”
Si Muran held her chopsticks and thought about it according to the encyclopedia in her mind.""The salt in the salt mine cannot be eaten without being refined. Moreover, refining salt is a very complicated process. No wonder salt is expensive.”
Salt mines that have not been refined contain nitrates, phosphorous, and potash. After eating it, people will be poisoned and their whole body will turn purple and finally die. Si Muran knew that these people must have no money to buy salt, so they ate salt mines.
Pei Chenshuo turned around and glanced at Si Muran. Si Muran noticed his gaze and felt that it was a little strange.
"We commoners only need to fill our stomachs with three meals a day. How can we expect to eat salt?”Chen Yong seemed to be consoling himself.
Si Muran didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and ate, but she felt a little sad in her heart.
After dinner, Si Muran and Pei Chenshuo were arranged to rest in a room. Because they used the excuse that they were husband and wife and naturally had to stay in the same room.
Si Muran looked at the only bed in the room and thought for a long time before saying,""You should sleep on the bed. I'll just sleep on the floor.”
Pei Chenshuo raised his eyebrows.”
Si Muran took two steps back warily and pointed at Pei Chenshuo.""Pei Chenshuo, don't get carried away. We were just forced by the situation. I only let you sleep on the bed because your body was poisoned. Don't push your luck.”
Pei Chenshuo shook his head helplessly.""I mean, this bed is very big. It can fit the two of us. I'm very weak now. I won't do anything to you.”
Si Muran's eyes darted around. She thought that it made sense and walked towards Pei Chenshuo. Si Muran thought that if Pei Chenshuo dared to touch her, she would kick him off.
After Si Muran laid down, Pei Chenshuo also laid down beside her. The two of them opened their eyes and did not speak to each other.
Si Muran saw that Pei Chenshuo was quiet and did not move. She heaved a sigh of relief and closed her eyes to sleep. Pei Chenshuo turned his head to look at Si Muran's peaceful sleeping face. His lips curled up slightly."Silly girl." Pei Chenshuo said as he gently caressed Si Muran's eyes.
Si Muran's eyes moved slightly as if she was about to wake up. Pei Chenshuo's hand left her eyes and gently stroked the stray hair by her ear. It turned out that quietly looking at her was also a kind of happiness.
Si Muran seemed to have dreamt of something. She had a faint smile on her lips as she turned around to face Pei Chenshuo.
Pei Chenshuo only felt his aura become heavy in an instant. Si Muran was very close to him, and their auras intertwined. Pei Chenshuo's heart was a little shaken.
Unconsciously, Pei Chenshuo's head slowly leaned towards Si Muran. Just as his lips were about to touch Si Muran, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Si Muran looked at Pei Chenshuo's face, which was so close to her, her eyes filled with shock and helplessness. She was about to open her mouth and shout that she was molested, but Pei Chenshuo had already caught her lips.
The kiss was so intense that Si Muran quickly forgot her original intention and immersed herself in Pei Chenshuo's fiery passion.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
