Chapter 381

Seeing Xiao Tiancheng gone, Nan Gongxi also raised her hand and said, "Let's go."

After speaking, he led his men on horseback and left.

After all this trouble, Ji Meiren and Zhu Zixin had already arrived at the foot of a mountain twenty miles away from the capital.

Zhu Zixin has stayed here for so many years, and now he is very familiar with this area. Although he has not been here for a long time, he can still find the way up the mountain.

However, it was night now, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, so they still walked very slowly.

The two walked forward cautiously and slowly.

If so, it was still a long time before we reached the halfway up the mountain. At this moment, suddenly, Ji Meiren stepped on the ground and threw her whole body forward. Zhu Zixin hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her.At the same time, a sound of stones falling from the bottom of the cliff was heard.

It turned out that there was an empty place on the edge of the cliff, and when she stepped on it with one foot, the gravel there fell down one after another...

If it weren't for Zhu Zixin, Ji Meiren might have fallen.

Ji Meiren stood firm, turned her head, glanced at Zhu Zixin, but did not speak.

Zhu Zixin said, "Be careful."

Ji Meiren didn't pay attention to her, and Zhu Zixin didn't care, and continued to walk behind her.
Although neither of them spoke anymore, they were more careful than before.

Although it was already spring, the night in Sanli was still quite cold.After walking all the way, it gradually warmed up, but my feet were very tired, and it didn't feel like my own.

But Ji Meiren's footsteps became slower and slower, even slower than Zhu Zixin's, which seemed to be very difficult.Even after walking a few steps, I have to touch my chest and pant for a while.

Zhu Zixin had to walk very slowly to keep pace with her. In the dark, she couldn't see her expression clearly, and knew that she would ignore what she said, so she just followed her and didn't say much.

However, Zhu Zixin was very worried about her in his heart, and thought, she must be caused by excess physical strength.You have to find a place to rest quickly.

In this way, the two walked for about two hours before reaching a flat place.

Although the light was very dim, Ji Meiren took Zhu Zixin to find a cave and led the horse into it.

The inside of the cave is darker than the outside, and it's like you can't see your fingers.

The two groped and walked for a while, feeling safe, Zhu Zixin just sat down on the ground, and Ji Meiren didn't even look at it, and slowly sat down against the mountain wall.

After resting for a while, Zhu Zixin said:

"Ji Meiren, it's too dark in the cave, let's go get some firewood, shall we?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zixin looked in the direction of her sister, waiting for her response. However, she waited for a while, but she did not see Ji Meiren's response. The light in the cave was really dark, and she couldn't see her expression clearly. Zhu Zixin just said: She was still hating herself, and Buxi spoke to her, so she sighed and said again. :
"Then you rest, I'll get it done."

After she finished speaking, she waited for a while, but she still didn't see Ji Meiren replying.In the darkness, Zhu Zixin shook her head, it seemed that she really didn't intend to talk to her.

So, she walked out of the cave in the dark, even if she was angry, she couldn't make fun of her own life.

This cave is dark, if there are poisonous snakes or something, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zixin naturally didn't dare to delay, walked out of the cave, chopped off some branches with his palm and dragged them back.

She approached Ji Meiren by feeling, and asked:

"Ji Meiren, do you have a fire pocket on you?"

However, Ji Meiren still didn't respond.

This time, Zhu Zixin realized that something was wrong.Putting down the branch, he walked towards Meiren Ji gropingly, only to realize that she was motionless.

Zhu Zixin hurriedly shook Ji Meiren, but she didn't respond at all, she had already lost consciousness.I touched her forehead again, it was very hot, she was having a fever!

Zhu Zixin was startled, and hurriedly groped for a while on her body, finally took out a torch from her bosom, and then set the pile of branches on fire.

At the bonfire, Zhu Zixin discovered that Ji Meiren's back was injured, and her clothes had been soaked in blood. It seemed that she was punctured by a sharp stone on the cliff when she jumped off the cliff. But she persisted all the time, and walked so many ways without snoring.No wonder she was unsteady on her feet when walking the mountain road, it turned out to be the result of her injury.

She is so forbearing, probably because she is afraid that she will betray herself?Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Zixin couldn't help laughing at himself.

Trust is really something that is easily broken, just like fine porcelain, once broken, it is difficult to repair.

At the beginning, she had lied to her for the sake of Yue Guo Jiangshan, but now it should be impossible for her to trust herself as before.

Just like Nan Gongxi back then, once he hurt her, it was hard for her to trust him again, if he hadn't sacrificed his life to save her a few times later, she probably wouldn't have returned to him.

Zhu Zixin knew that in such a situation, what she said was superfluous.She didn't believe her, that's why she almost killed herself!

Zhu Zixin smiled wryly, and hurriedly helped her stop the bleeding, and then searched around in the cave. Generally, such caves have water.

So, Zhu Zixin took a torch and walked inside. The cave seemed very deep, bottomless, and very dark inside. The more she walked, the more frightening she was. A ticking sound was heard.

Zhu Zixin was overjoyed now, took a few quick steps, and saw a mountain spring seeping out from a cave wall.

Zhu Zixin hurriedly tore off some of her clothes, dipped some in the mountain spring, and ran back quickly to Meiren Ji, washed her wound, then ran back again, took some water, and fed Meiren Ji some water .

In order to reduce her fever, she kept going back and forth in the cave to collect water.

At the same time, he used two pieces of cloth to cool her down physically, and at the same time pinched several acupuncture points with his nails.

At dawn, Ji Meiren's fever gradually subsided.Zhu Zixin finally let out a long breath of relief.

When she came out of the palace, she ran all the way and was frightened, and she was very tired. Now after going through such a toss, she is even more exhausted. Because she is worried about Ji Meiren's condition, she has no time to take care of other things. Now that she has retired It was hot, and she felt pain all over her body, and her whole body seemed to be falling apart, without any strength.

She finally crawled tiredly beside Ji Meiren and fell asleep.

On the second day, the third day... On the fourth day, Ji Meiren's high fever did not subside, and she did not wake up until the fifth day.

Zhu Zixin worked hard to take care of her every day, turned upside down day and night, and never had a peaceful night's sleep. Fortunately, Nan Gongxi and Xiao Tiancheng hadn't found this place these days, otherwise, even if there was a mistake, Ji Meiren's life might be lost. However, She was trying to save her, but she was too tired and exhausted.

This day, she just got up, and wanted to get some food and drink for Ji Meiren, but just stood up, when her eyes got dark, she fell down, and it took a while before she woke up.

Zhu Zixin stretched out his hand to rest his forehead, and stood against the cave wall for a while, then continued to move forward.The exhaustion of the past few days had made her physically exhausted, and she had just recuperated herself, so she might be exhausted again this time, but when she felt better, she went anyway.

After about half an hour, she brought back some sweet potatoes and a frog.

After entering the cave, she said anxiously:

"Wait for a long time, it will be ready soon. There is nothing around here, and I don't dare to run too far, so I just found these things. You can eat them first, and I will find some good ones to cook at noon." Eat for you. These days, if you don’t eat, you can’t just drink water. Anyway, try to eat some! Even if you don’t want to eat, you should think about it for your child. These days, he can’t see you , probably going crazy!"

After Zhu Zixin said these few words, she stopped. She didn't want to bring up Meiren Ji's sadness, but otherwise, she wouldn't be able to eat properly.

Sure enough, this time, Ji Meiren didn't say anything for a while, but wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands.

Zhu Zixin didn't bother her either, just kept busy.

She peeled the frog and roasted it on the fire, and dug a pit for the sweet potato and buried it under the fire.

After a while, the whole cave was filled with the smell of frogs and sweet potatoes.

Zhu Zixin ran to dig out a sweet potato from the fire, and carefully peeled the skin, then handed it to Ji Meiren and said:

"Let's eat. Although it's not well done, it can fill your stomach anyway."

Ji Meiren didn't move, but fixed her eyes on her. After a while, when Zhu Zixin's hands were numb, she asked:

"Why don't you go?"

After hearing this, Zhu Zixin's hand holding the sweet potato shook, she withdrew her hand, smiled wryly, and said:
"Ji Meiren, I know you don't understand, even I can't explain clearly, I just don't want to watch you die like this!"

Having said that, she paused, and continued: "I won't leave, because you helped me when I was in the most difficult time, although at that time, you may not really want to help me, but have plans for me , I didn't leave because the two-year-old child needed a mother, and I didn't want to see you die here like this. Now that you are dead, I can't just sit idly by. "

After hearing Zhu Zixin's words, Ji Meiren stopped talking, but stretched out her hand.

Zhu Zixin didn't know what he was going to do, so he couldn't help asking: "What?"

"sweet potato."

Ji Meiren said coldly.

"Oh, for you."

Only then did Zhu Zixin understand, and she handed the roasted sweet potato to Meiren Ji.A smile could not help showing on the corner of her lips, she was finally willing to eat sweet potatoes, does this prove that her illness is getting better?

Ji Meiren took it and started to eat slowly.

Zhu Zixin was really hungry, and finished the sweet potato in his hand in a few mouthfuls.Looking at Ji Meiren, she was eating slowly, taking small bites, chewing small bites, even under such conditions, he was eating extremely gracefully.

It seems that how important a good family education is to a person's influence.Ji Meiren grew up in the official family of Zero Country since she was a child, and later came to Yue Country due to various reasons. Now that she thinks about it, she probably planned it in advance, but at this time, Zhu Zixin feels that these are not important anymore!
