Chapter 118: A Chance Encounter with Help
In the dream, Jiang Liang slept in the warm quilt, so comfortable that he was like falling into the clouds, and he didn't want to wake up.
Suddenly, a cough in her ear woke her up, and Jiang Liang found that she was asleep in Zhao Jingxuan's arms, at this time the sky was slightly bright, and both of them were stained with morning dewdrops, and they were very uncomfortable.
Jiang Liang hurriedly got up, but was hugged tightly by Zhao Jingxuan.
"Sleep a little longer, and then go after dawn, okay? The sun hasn't come out yet. ”
Zhao Jingxuan didn't want to distance himself from Jiang Liang like this, even if he knew that it was more appropriate to hurry at this time.
Jiang Liang was very embarrassed, although there was a reason for the incident, but the two of them hugged like this all night, and they didn't know what to say about it.
The most important thing is that I don't hate this situation.
Jiang Liang faintly noticed the difference between her and Zhao Jingxuan in her heart, and she didn't dare to continue to think about it, for fear that feelings would sprout between the two.
It's not that she thinks that Zhao Jingxuan is poor and has nothing, but his current situation is that he doesn't know anything about his past.
It's okay to say that she is selfish, but she is afraid that she will have to lose it after she gets it.
Jiang Liang subconsciously wanted to protect herself from injury, even if she seemed to be deceiving herself by doing so.
Seeing that Jiang Liang was a little restrained, Zhao Jingxuan was also a little stupid, and the two of them did not delay any longer, and walked to the river to wash up and prepare directly to continue to hurry.
Soon, the sun rose high in the sky and illuminated the earth, and they could see clearly what was ahead.
The further you go, the more densely wooded it becomes, and the river gradually closes up until it becomes the width of a stream.
At this time, both of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they gradually couldn't walk.
"Someone."
Zhao Jingxuan's five senses were keen, and he noticed the movement at the first time, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Liang and motioned her to hide behind the bushes.
"You hide, I'll negotiate. If it's a bad guy, it's even more dangerous if you find out you're a woman. ”
If he encounters a bandit, Zhao Jingxuan, a big man, will be robbed at most, and he has no money now, at most he will be beaten by someone.
But if the thieves find Jiang Liang and see that she is young and beautiful, they will have any bad thoughts.
Although Zhao Jingxuan has martial arts, he was a little physically exhausted after tossing for a day yesterday, and more things are better than less, he still doesn't want to get into trouble.
Jiang Liang knew what Zhao Jingxuan meant, and she didn't talk nonsense, so she simply hid behind a tree and watched the changes.
When the footsteps came, Jiang Liang saw who the person was, and saw that the other party was dressed as a woodcutter, holding a woodcutter in his hand, thinking that he was going to go into the mountain to chop wood.
"This big brother, please be kind enough to help us, I went out with Neiko to play, I originally thought that the scenery of this Yushan Mountain was good, but I didn't expect to encounter a bandit, and finally escaped, but there was no food at all, and I hope you can give us some food to get through the difficulties."
Zhao Jingxuan saw the person who came clearly, and directly asked for help.
He was born handsome and extraordinary, and even if he was wearing a coarse cloth robe, he could see that he was different from others.
Hearing this, the woodcutter couldn't help but look him up and down, feeling that the man in front of him really didn't look like he was in danger, so he nodded. "You said you came out with your lady? Where's your wife? ”
"Big brother, we haven't eaten for two days. I hope you can save us. ”
Jiang Liang listened to the conversation between Zhao Jingxuan and the woodcutter, and knew that there was no need to hide his body anymore, so he immediately walked out from behind the tree. However, the way she looked at Zhao Jingxuan was very unkind.
When Zhao Jingxuan introduced their relationship just now, he could obviously introduce her as his sister, but this guy was good, and he took the opportunity to take advantage of her!
Even if this place is quite far away from Rongquan City, this woodcutter may never intersect with them again in the future, but Jiang Liang is still not happy.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingxuan also understood what Jiang Liang was thinking, and couldn't help but touch his nose, pretending to look at the sky and the earth, but he refused to look at her.
The woodcutter understood the twists and turns between them, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately took out his dry food and beckoned to them.
"Since it's a disaster, I'm naturally going to help! You too, what are you going up the mountain at this time! Since those bandits have been entrenched in Yushan, the people in our village have stopped coming out of the mountain, so we are afraid that we will be unlucky to meet them! ”
The woodcutter couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, thinking that he was also affected by the bandits, and his life was not easy.
"However, it's okay like this, those officials don't dare to come to Yushan if they want to collect taxes, and our family can barely survive."
"I don't know how we should get out?"
Zhao Jingxuan didn't expect the woodcutter to say this, and he was stunned.
You know, if even the villagers of the local village can't get out of the mountain, then how can they return to Rongquan City?
"Well, I know a path, but it's a little harder to walk. We won't go out lightly unless we have to. ”
Although the people in the village are self-sufficient, they also encounter disasters and diseases, and they are not completely isolated from the rest of the world.
However, this road is also very dangerous for them, and the woodcutter couldn't help but glance at Jiang Liang and Zhao Jingxuan, and shook his head. "Forget it, you can stay in the village for a while. I don't think this little lady's face is very good, is she sick? ”
Jiang Liang encountered those things yesterday, and spent the night in the wilderness, his face was pale at this time, and he looked very haggard indeed.
After taking the dry food, she ate it unceremoniously, and the gobbling up almost didn't scare the woodcutters, and she felt more and more miserable about them.
"Hey, it's not those thieves who fancy my lady's good birth, so they want to harm her. It took a lot of effort for our husband and wife to escape, if it weren't for a good person like my eldest brother, where would I still be alive! ”
"I, I didn't actually do anything."
Zhao Jingxuan's face turned red when he praised the woodcutter, and he was a little embarrassed.
"How not! If it weren't for the big brother's righteous action, we would all starve to death! As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and we can't afford to repay such a kindness as a big brother! ”
Jiang Liang couldn't help but glance at Zhao Jingxuan while nibbling on the dry steamed buns, only to realize that he still had such a side.
Before, Jiang Liang felt that Zhao Jingxuan was an unsympathetic guy, and he was also cold to everyone in the Jiang family, and he usually didn't want to contact them, so he still had a good face towards Jiang Jinbao and Jiang Yun.
But today, it seems that he is still a long-sleeved dancer!
"By the way, dare to ask where the eldest brother lives, the two of us haven't seen half a figure along the way, except for the people from your village, is there really no one else here?"
