Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 74 Escape
This was the fourth day since they fell off the cliff. After the heavy rain, the sky was clear and the sunlight was shining through, illuminating the valley that was blocked out by the sky.

The vision gradually became clear. Lu Jing was still frightened by the snake. No matter how much he felt sorry for Xiu Chun Dao, he didn't dare to pry the plants apart with his bare hands. He simply used the knife to cut a path and climbed up the muddy path with Su Qingwan on his back.

The path meanders all the way up, it's steep and slippery. Lu Jing has to use the Embroidered Spring Knife and the rock wall to climb up, while also carrying Su Qingwan on his back, which is very tiring.

There is a section of the road that is a new cliff. If it had rained heavily in the past few days and the visibility was unclear, it would have been impossible to walk on it and they would have definitely fallen off the cliff.

Now that the sun is strong, the road ahead can at least be seen clearly.

But Lu Jing still encountered difficulties. Just after climbing over that cliff, he encountered a steep slope. He was carrying Su Qingwan on his back, and he would definitely not be able to climb up without a rope.

If he could climb up by himself with the Embroidered Spring Sword, he would have to leave Su Qingwan alone at the bottom of the cliff while he climbed up and called for someone to rescue her.

His eldest sister-in-law was delirious due to fever and was talking nonsense, sometimes calling Luzhu and sometimes calling a strange name. Su Qingwan woke up for a moment and realized that she was talking in her sleep. She simply bit Lu Jing's shoulder to prevent herself from talking nonsense and saying the wrong thing in a daze.

Lu Jing felt pain in his shoulder, "..."

People born in the year of the dog can bite people even when they are about to faint from a high fever.

"Master, master..."

Just as Lu Jing was hesitating to put Su Qingwan at the bottom of the cliff first and climb up, he heard Li An's voice. Lu Jing bent his finger and blew a whistle, and the sharp whistle kept echoing in the empty cliff.

He did the same thing a few days ago, but unfortunately the rainstorm was too loud and the sound didn't get through.

After three whistles of varying lengths, Li An was overjoyed.

"Master, the master is still alive!" Li An shouted, "Master, where are you! Someone come, someone come quickly, the master is nearby!"

After searching for four days without finding either the person alive or the body, the Jinyiwei became excited and started shouting.

Lu Jing kept whistling, and Lu Zhu was the first to discover them. She was lying on the cliff and vaguely saw Lu Jing, and also saw that Lu Jing was carrying Su Qingwan on his back.

"Third Master, how is my girl?"

Li An and Zhou Jingming also came with a group of Jinyiwei and started asking questions. Zhou Jingming was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Zi Yu, you are so lucky. I thought we were going to collect your body. Are you okay? Say something."

Although Lu Jing ate some snake meat to fill his stomach, he himself had a high fever and felt extremely uncomfortable. The group of idiots on the cliff were still chattering non-stop, and no one even let out a rope.

He wanted to chop someone.

Lu Zhu said, "Let's put a rope down, Third Master, send my daughter up first."

Su Qingwan had fainted. If something happened while hanging, she wouldn't be able to save herself. Lu Jing said he was worried no matter what. He put one hand around Su Qingwan's waist and held the rope with the other.

Zhou Jingming and Li An quickly pulled them up.

"Four days, four whole days, I have to turn the whole mountain over. Do you know how many gray hairs I have had from worrying about it? I have been climbing this mountain with my brothers day and night. I wish we could flatten the mountain, but I am afraid that we will crush you. The villagers who are familiar with the forest said that you are in great danger and that you should stop wasting your energy. They all ran away after receiving the money this morning. I don't believe in evil and took my men to climb over mountains and dig deep into the ground. God will not let down those who work hard. I said that you have a tough life and even God cannot take you away!"

Zhou Jingming was so excited that his saliva was flying everywhere. He patted Lu Jing's shoulder and jumped around excitedly. If he wasn't too weak, Lu Jing would have wanted to pin him to the ground and beat him up.

"I've been looking for you for four days, and you still want me to climb up here by myself. What use do I have for you?"

"Zi Yu, do you know how big this mountain is? In order to find you, I was bitten by snakes three times, three times... One of them was poisonous. I didn't find you and almost died. Everyone gave up, but I still led people to search and rescue. You can't be so heartless!"

Lu Zhu was too lazy to listen to their chatter and pushed Zhou Jingming away rudely, "Get out of here!" She half-knelt down and pushed Lu Jing away rudely. She took the cloak and quickly wrapped it around Su Qingwan, glaring at Lu Jing fiercely.

Everyone then realized that Lu Jing was still hugging his eldest sister-in-law, hugging her very tightly. A man and a woman had been alone together for four days, and they looked very embarrassed. Although Su Qingwan's clothes were neat when she was rescued, there was an indescribable... disarray in her appearance.

The noisy Zhou Jingming also shut up.

The big thing is bad!

Lu Zhu touched Su Qing Wan's hot forehead, put two fingers on Su Qing Wan's pulse, and said with great distress, "Girl, girl..."

She picked up Su Qingwan and called Qingqing, "Go to the farm first and ask the doctor to make some medicine for the cold."

"Okay!" Qingqing nodded and quickly went down the mountain.

Lu Zhu ignored Lu Jing and the Jinyiwei, and walked down the mountain quickly with Su Qingwan in her arms.

Lu Jing stood up. This master and servant must be at odds with him. Lu Zhu's push hit his wound again. Lu Jing looked at the group of Jinyiwei who were looking at each other in bewilderment. "Whoever dares to tell others about what happened today will lose his tongue."

"Yes!" the Jinyiwei said in unison.

Seeing that he was holding his waist all the time, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but ask, "Did you hurt your waist?"

Lu Jing slapped his face and pushed it away, "Get out of here!"

He strode forward, followed closely by Zhou Jingming and Li An. The group returned to the farm. This mountain was the closest to the farm, and the doctor was already waiting there.

Lu Zhu first gave Su Qingwan some ginger soup, and then waited for the doctor to prepare the medicine.

Lu Jing lay on a wooden bed and was examined by the imperial physician brought by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Fortunately, it was only a flesh wound and had not yet festered. After applying some medicine, he would recover if he took good care of himself.

Zhou Jingming looked at his waist injury with a puzzled look, like a worried old woman, "If the location of your injury was an inch off..."

They were all men and understood what Zhou Jingming said. Lu Jing almost hit him with his embroidered spring sword.

Zhou Jingming slapped his mouth, "Pfft, pfft, pfft, you will be blessed in the future if you survive a disaster. You will be blessed with beautiful women in the future."

"Can you please leave me alone for a while!" Lu Jing scolded, "If you have time to talk nonsense here, why don't you help me and my sister-in-law come up with a story to avoid damaging my sister-in-law's reputation."

Zhou Jingming said, "I am concerned about you. To be honest, it is useless for you to ask the brothers to shut up. You and your eldest sister-in-law fell off a cliff for four days. No one is seen alive or dead. If you both died on the cliff, others would not say anything. If one died and the other lived, no one would say anything. But you both survived, so there will always be gossip."

"The Jinyiwei have closed the mountain, how can there be any gossip about this matter?"

Zhou Jingming hesitated to speak, and Lu Jing had a bad feeling.

"Say!"

"This matter has become a big deal..."

Zhou Jingming wanted to keep the news to the Jinyiwei, but unfortunately the emperor was extremely angry about the bandits near the capital and the serious injuries to court officials. He ordered General Wude to conduct a thorough investigation and summoned Li An for questioning.

Li An told the truth. In addition to the bandits, they were also ambushed by the Huainan soldiers.
