She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 257 Escape
Seeing that she made no more sound, Murong Zi let her go and waved his sleeves towards the fire pit in front of him. The orange-yellow flame disappeared instantly.

The bonfire on the other side was also extinguished.

This is to prevent smoke from rising and attracting investigators.

Shen Jiaojiao stared at the fire pit in front of her.

After the fire was out, there was no smoke?

Is the internal strength of those who practice martial arts so terrifying?

She listened attentively to the noise outside again.

She heard no sound except the whistling of the wind and the sound of water rushing at the bottom of the cliff.

This made her a little more wary of people who practiced martial arts.

After returning to the Meng Mansion, I must always keep Yumei with me and not let those martial artists kidnap her again.

The temperature in the cave was slowly dropping, and in just a moment it was so cold that people were shivering.

"Miss, do you mind if I hold you in my arms?" Murong Zi asked softly.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "I mind."

nonsense!

Men and women should not touch each other, so of course she minds!
Murong Zi smiled and said, "Why don't you let me hold you? Look, you're shaking like a sieve."

She turned her head away unhappily, clasped her arms across her chest, and tried to curl up as much as possible.

"Okay, you have guts." Murong Zi shook his head helplessly, took off his cloak, and put it on Shen Jiaojiao, "Wrap it up."

A wave of heat instantly enveloped her.

The cloak still exuded the strange scent of Murong Zi, which made her blush unconsciously.

She threw off her cloak as if she had been scalded.

"I don't want it."

As she spoke, she stuffed the cloak back into the man's arms and shrank aside.

Murong Zi curled up the corner of her mouth, stood up and walked to the supplies in the corner, took out a quilt from it and covered herself with it.

This time she didn't refuse.

A quilt is different from a cloak.

However, if it really comes to a life-and-death situation, she would not care about this false reputation.

Murong Zi sat back next to her again and whispered to her about the situation outside.

"Prince Qing sent twenty good men over, five on top and fifteen below. The people searching on top are throwing ropes down, probably wanting to climb down and take a look; most of the people below are searching around the river, and two of them want to climb up and take a look."

"Will they find the cave?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"No, this cave looks almost normal from the outside. And this location is quite far from where we fell. They should be searching vertically."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If we were caught by Prince Qing's men, it would be a fate worse than death.

The two sat side by side and didn't speak anymore.

After sitting there for quite a while, Shen Jiaojiao felt her legs and feet were going numb. She was just about to ask Murong Zi whether those people had left.

Unexpectedly, when I turned my head, I saw Murong Zi had fainted with his head tilted.

His face was pale, the corners of his mouth were purple, and black blood was flowing from his mouth and nose.

Shen Jiaojiao was so frightened that she almost screamed. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth and swallowed the scream back.

It's poison!

It was Prince Qing who poisoned Murong Zi!
The poison took effect so quickly!
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, leaned close to the man's ear and whispered, "Murong Zi, wake up, how are you?"

She didn't know whether the people searching outside had left, so she couldn't make too much noise.

Murong Zi didn't react at all.

Shen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and reached out to feel his pulse.

Fortunately, the pulse is still beating.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't dare to move the other person easily, so she could only sit there and think about countermeasures.

There was no way she could escape from here alone.

The only thing we can do now is to wake up Murong Zi and leave here as soon as possible.

If the poison in Murong Zi's body could be removed...

But she doesn't know any medical skills at all!
As Murong Zi's face turned increasingly pale, she became more and more anxious and could no longer care about hiding from the people who were searching outside.

Even if I get caught, it's better than waiting to die here.

She fetched a tinderbox and lit the stove pit and the bonfire.

A person in a coma cannot be hypothermic. Time passes slowly.

It was pitch black outside and it was already late at night.

Shen Jiaojiao listened carefully, but still didn't hear any sound of searching, even the sound of the wind became much quieter.

Murong Zi has shown no signs of waking up.

The sweet potato and bacon soup in the pot had begun to bubble and the aroma wafted up, making her stomach rumble.

She swallowed, fetched the bowl and chopsticks, scooped up a bowl of porridge, and walked to Murong Zi.

At this time, the man had been laid flat by her, lying on the cold mud ground.

She forced Murong Zi's mouth open and poured the porridge into her.

It's freezing cold and I can't stand not eating.

Fortunately, Murong Zi was still able to swallow the porridge, and Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After feeding her a whole bowl of porridge, she scooped a bowl for herself and gobbled it up.

……

"Miss, wake up, wake up quickly..."

A strange yet familiar voice came to my ears.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, muttering in dissatisfaction.

"Ke Xin, don't bother me..."

She still thought she was in the boudoir.

"Miss, don't sleep. There is no Ke Xin here. There is only Murong Zi who is seriously poisoned."

Murong Zi shook his head with amusement and continued to shake her.

The three words "Murong Zi" brought her back to consciousness completely.

She widened her eyes and looked at the ruddy man in front of her, "Mu, Murong Zi? Are you okay?"

"Not well." Murong Zi smiled, "But we have to hurry down the mountain."

"Okay." She nodded vigorously, stood up and was about to leave.

Murong Zi grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Bring some dry food and hot water."

As she spoke, a bundle was hung on her shoulders.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the small bundle curiously, "Did you prepare this?"

Murong Zi nodded and also carried a small bag.

"Why do we need to prepare two bags?" Shen Jiaojiao asked again.

Murong Zi glanced at her meaningfully and said, "I'll tell you when we get out."

After packing up briefly, the two of them set out on their journey down the mountain.

Murong Zi was very familiar with the terrain. She led her to a steep slope, took out a rope, and tied the two ends of the rope around their waists.

"If you fall, I can pull you out."

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned pale. "What if you fall down?"

"Haha, let's die together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Zi stepped onto the steep slope, looked back at her, and motioned for her to follow.

Shen Jiaojiao swallowed and followed.

It snowed yesterday and the steep slope was not easy to walk on. I would slip after taking almost every two steps.

The road is less than half a meter wide, with gravel rolling down from overhead from time to time and steep cliffs at the foot.

She had to press her entire body against the wall to be able to move.

I wanted to ask myself how much longer I would have to walk, but I couldn't open my teeth - my body was too tense and wouldn't obey me.

The two walked forward, and they didn't know how long they had walked, when suddenly a large platform appeared in front of them.

There is another cave further inside the platform.

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Murong Zi, this is our destination..."

The words got stuck in his throat midway through.

As far as the eye could see, the purple figure had disappeared.

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils trembled suddenly, and she finally understood why Murong Zi had to prepare two bags——

He had no intention of taking her with him!
