Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

On the cliffs, there are scattered crooked-neck trees of different shapes, some thick and some thin, which serve as a weapon for Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu to slow down the speed of falling off the cliff.

It's summer, and the valley is lush with vegetation and branches.

In the process of falling, Jiang Yuzhu buried her face into Xie Zhao's chest, and her back was tightly protected by Xie Zhao's hands. She only felt that the two of them were falling rhythmically, and the whistling wind was in her ears.

When they reached the valley, Xie Zhao inserted the knife at his waist into the mountain wall, barely able to stabilize the two of them.

Dark clouds covered the moon and the valley was dark. Jiang Yuzhu vaguely heard Princess Yutan's slightly echoed shout, but she had no strength to respond.

Xie Zhao stared down to measure the distance and asked: "Yuzhu, do you know how to swim?"

There is a flat platform in the valley. If the two of them fall onto the platform, there is still a risk of injury without any buffer.

In this case, it is better to choose to fall into the deep pool.

The two were very close. Jiang Yuzhu smelled the faint smell of blood and guessed that Xie Zhao had been injured, so she quickly replied: "Yes."

Whether it is horseback riding, archery or swimming, these are Jiang Yuzhu's personal hobbies.

Could it be that Xie Zhao is a landlubber and needs to be saved by her?

Feeling that Xie Zhao's breathing was not steady enough, Jiang Yuzhu took out an oil paper bag from her sleeve pocket, opened it, put it into Xie Zhao's mouth and said, "Master, eat something to keep your strength."

After falling into the water, it is far more difficult than on the shore.

A touch of warmth appeared in Xie Zhao's eyes, and he asked: "Where is Madam?"

"Master, don't think about me when it's urgent. You are the backbone of this family, so nothing will happen to you!"

Jiang Yuzhu's tone is very sincere, and Xie Zhao's willingness to risk his life to save others at the critical moment shows that he has good character.

Thinking of the villain's fear of Xie Zhao robbing the family property, Jiang Yuzhu felt a little guilty.

Jiang Yuzhu took the initiative to be humble, and considering that he had to protect her, Xie Zhao took a bite: "The taste is a bit rough and scratches the throat."

In the past few years, Xie Zhao often traveled to the countryside. The rough-faced steamed buns eaten by poor people were hard to swallow.

How come there is such a thing in the Xie Mansion? Is Madam in a hurry recently?

In an instant, Xie Zhao had a few thoughts. He still needed to earn more money to support his family.

After all, except for his own family, everyone in the Jiang family is content to enjoy themselves and is accustomed to wealth.

Jiang Yuzhu said in a low voice: "Master, please bear with me for a while. We will have water later."

If you don’t know how to swim, fall into a deep pool and drink until you’re full.

As for the food for Xie Zhao, it was originally Jiang Yuzhu who brought her second brother Jiang Huaiqing to feed the goose red bean cakes.

Today, there was a lot of bean dregs left after pressing oil in the house. Jiang Yuzhu specially asked the cook to process it, otherwise it would be even more unpalatable.

During the conversation, the stones around the knife became a little loose.

Xie Zhao swallowed the "snack" with difficulty, put one hand around Jiang Yuzhu's waist, and fell down again.

After an unknown number of free falls, the two of them fell into the water with a plop.

The moment she fell into the deep pool, Jiang Yuzhu suddenly felt a happy feeling of finally being rescued.

She swam far away, took off her coat in the water, and used it to catch the big fish.

When they came ashore with Xie Zhao, they both became drowned rats.

After getting out of the water, Jiang Yuzhu shivered from the cold.

The sky is getting gloomier, the clouds are dense, a moist wind is flowing in the valley, and a rain is coming.

After Xie Zhao identified the direction, he suddenly squatted down, keeping his upper body and back straight and said: "Madam, come up."

Before it rains, the two must find a place to take shelter.

Jiang Yuzhu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to listen to Xie Zhao's arrangement.

Lying on his back, her wet clothes stuck together. Through the clothes, she could feel Xie Zhao's thin back and the heat underneath her body.

It was very comfortable to be warmed by his body temperature, but it was too intimate.

Xie Zhao looked tense and tried to ignore the softness. After several leaps, he found a cave.

It's a coincidence that he happened to be here.

There are wooden racks and hay in the cave.

Xie Zhao tried making fire several times with a flint, igniting the dry grass, and the cave suddenly became bright.

"Master, you..."

Jiang Yuzhu was almost unscathed, but Xie Zhao's clothes had been torn to pieces, and bright red blood seeped out from the wounds on his arms, gradually staining his sleeves.

Xie Zhao seemed to feel no pain. He held the dagger with his long knuckles and was killing the fish.

Without saying a word, Jiang Yuzhu tore off a few edges of her inner garment, roasted them on the fire with tree branches, and left them for Xie Zhao to bandage.

Then, she took off the hairpin that was still on her head, and put all the remaining small porcelain bottles on the ground.

Xie Zhao's attention was attracted by Jiang Yuzhu. From the corner of his eye, he caught a hint of blush in front of her. He immediately looked away, and then his cheeks and ears turned red.

The two are husband and wife, but this is the first time they are approaching each other without hesitation.

His body was burning hot, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. He forced himself to suppress the thoughts in his heart and said, "Madam, how can you take apart your golden hairpin?"

The gold hairpin is threaded into the buckle and unscrewed from the middle. Inside is a slightly brown powder.

"This is Ma Fei Powder. There is also hemostatic medicine in my earrings, and the jade pendant on the corner of my skirt contains muscle-stimulating and hemostatic ointment."

Daqi ladies like to wear jewelry to show their wealth.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't like flashy ones, so she had to wear them as a last resort.

To this end, she specially asked skilled craftsmen to create hollow hairpins, which served as containers inside.

"After all, there are many enemies, so it never hurts to be more prepared when you go out. I didn't expect it to come in handy."

Xie Zhao watched helplessly as Jiang Yuzhu poured the powder from the bracelet into the fish body, and was slightly shocked: "Isn't there any medicine in your bracelet?"

"No, salt and chili powder."

The bracelet has a small mechanism. When the mechanism is buckled, several holes will be exposed.

If you see an enemy at a close distance, raise your hand and throw chili powder at the enemy.

This is a hidden weapon designed by Jiang Yuzhu himself. It can also be used as a seasoning, killing two birds with one stone.

Jiang Yuzhu checked Xie Zhao's wounds and found that in order to protect her, Xie Zhao's back was scratched by a branch. It would be an exaggeration to describe it as devastated.

"Master, please take a leave of absence and stop your official duties."

After all, he was injured in order to save her, so Jiang Yuzhu should repay the favor.

Without Xie Zhao, Jiang Yuzhu thought she could escape by falling by the rope of the broken bridge, but she would not be able to avoid the pain of her skin and flesh.

This flesh injury was not even considered an injury to Xie Zhao. He was just about to show that he didn't care when he suddenly frowned and took a breath of air and said, "It all depends on Madam."

Next, Xie Zhao suddenly shook his body "weakly" and his face became even paler.

Jiang Yuzhu was picking up Mars with a branch. When she heard the noise, she quickly turned her head and asked Xie Zhao to lean on her: "Master, are you okay?"

She was a forensic doctor in her previous life and knew a little bit about the serious damage to her internal organs, although she couldn't see it at the moment.

Outside the cave entrance, two thunderous thunders sounded without warning.

Xie Zhao's eyelids twitched and he lowered his eyes with a look of worry: "Yuzhu, if it rains, General Mo and the others won't be able to reach the bottom of the cliff tonight."

The terrain in the valley is complicated. Looking for someone at dawn would mean waiting for the sun to set at the earliest.

Xie Zhao said with a tired expression, showing an unconcealable tiredness, and his voice became much lower involuntarily.
