Wife is hell

Chapter 3 Mu Jiang and Jiang Mu

"Master Boss!"

The shouts from above seeped down through the cracks in the stone, growing clearer and clearer with the dull thud of heavy objects chiseling away.

"Damn it!"

The man in black felt a chill run down his spine, sensing something was wrong.

If this continues, and the rescue team manages to clear the area completely, his escape will be virtually impossible.

"Crap!"

He cursed angrily and glared fiercely at Jiang Mu, "Kid, you just wait!"

As he spoke, he pulled a black ball about the size of a thumb from his pocket and smashed it onto the ground.

"Peng——"

The small ball exploded, releasing a thick cloud of black smoke.

Tang Jinxian instinctively dodged.

When the black smoke dissipated, the man in black had vanished without a trace, disappearing into the gloomy dark passage.

"Stop chasing, it's too late."

Jiang Mu called out to Tang Jinxian and beckoned her over, "Come here."

He finally remembered the spell that could break the "taming seal".

Tang Jinxian obediently rushed to him.

She tilted her pretty face up and nuzzled his cheek affectionately, her beautiful eyes full of pleading affection.

"I wonder if this spell will still work."

"Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a live doctor."

Jiang Mu muttered to himself, touched a brick next to him, grabbed the beautiful woman's skirt and wiped the dust off the brick, then put his index finger in his mouth.

I bit it twice, but it didn't break.

I'm afraid of pain.

He held his finger to the beautiful woman's lips: "Help me bite it."

Tang Jinxian obediently opened her lips.

Jiang Mu got annoyed: "Idiot, bite it with your teeth!"

The beautiful woman blinked and clenched her teeth.

"hiss--"

Jiang Mu pulled back his blood-soaked finger and said speechlessly, "Why are you being so cruel? Did you want to bite my finger off?"

The beautiful woman looked aggrieved.

She's a man who fawns over her.

At this moment, more and more gravel fell from above, and the sound of chiseling became increasingly clear.

The voices of the people speaking became increasingly mixed.

Jiang Mu quickly drew an imperial edict seal on the brick surface with his blood-stained finger and recited to the dazed Tang Jinxian: "The Big Dipper revolves, the Heavenly Gang breaks all calamities. The Seven Elements divide the Jade Dipper..."

As the incantation was recited, the tassels around the beautiful woman's neck began to emit a white light.

Mysterious runes appeared one after another on the beads.

Tang Jinxian's eyes gradually regained their clarity.

However, Jiang Mu stopped halfway through reciting the poem, then scratched his head and asked, "Wait, how do you pronounce the last two lines again?"

broken!

Can't remember.

Seeing that the woman's gaze was about to fall into a daze again, Jiang Muxin gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll just recite it a couple more times. As long as I get half of it right, it should be enough."

Jiang Mu straightened his face and continued reading:
"Mi-ri-ma-la, makka-pakka, achoo achoo... pop!"

He breathed on the surface of the talisman brick.

Then, with all his might, he swung the brick and smashed it against Tang Jinxian's smooth forehead.

puff-

The woman fell straight down.

His forehead was smashed open, and blood was flowing out.

At the same time, the spirit object around the woman's neck also disappeared.

"It should have been successful."

Looking at the unconscious woman, Jiang Mu was somewhat uncertain.

Boom——

The rubble fell from above with a crash, creating a large hole.

Several figures leaped down in succession.

"Master Boss!"

The two female guards leading the patrol saw Tang Jinxian lying on the ground and rushed over in alarm.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu secretly threw away the brick in his hand.

He pointed to the hidden door and shouted:

"Quick! The murderer injured the Chief Scribe and escaped from there! Chase after him!"

A middle-aged man who appeared to be the leader first looked at Tang Jinxian, and seeing that she was only unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glanced at Jiang Mu's uniform and ordered the other guards, "Go after him!"

The guards immediately rushed into the hidden door.

The middle-aged official's gaze swept over the other corpses on the ground, then returned to the injured Tang Jinxian. He coldly asked Jiang Mu, "What exactly happened here?" You're asking me?
What do I know?

Whether it was due to the excessive energy consumed in removing the taming seal or a side effect of the time travel, Jiang Mu felt extremely dizzy.

Then, with a crisp "plop," he passed out.

Middle-aged official: "?"

-

Three days later.

Lazy, piled-up clouds drifted across the azure sky.

The edges were made translucent by the sunlight.

Like a beautiful woman's soft silk bodice that falls to her waist, revealing the radiant sun behind her with a shy yet alluring gesture.

Jiang Mu, fanning himself, lay on the old bamboo chair, staring blankly at the bird's nest in the branches of the locust tree outside the courtyard.

Beside the bamboo chair, a snow-white goose lay lazily.

After lying in bed for three days, I can finally get out of bed.

Although I am still very weak, I can at least walk a few steps.

Over these three days, he gained a detailed understanding of the original owner of this body.

This guy's name is Mu Jiang.

He was mentally challenged from a young age, his parents died early, and he was taken care of entirely by his older brother.

His brother used to be a constable in Tongxin County, Yancheng, during the Great Qian Dynasty. Eleven years ago, he died saving a colleague.

That colleague was kind and took young Mujiang home to care for him.

This is the place where Jiang Mu is currently staying.

Later, this colleague managed to get the position of head constable in the county government. He then took the opportunity to arrange for Mu Jiang to also work in the county government's fast shift, giving him the title of a constable, just to keep him on the payroll.

"So, this is my second time travel."

Jiang Mu muttered to himself, "This fool named Mu Jiang died from his serious injuries, and I was reborn in his body, arriving in a new world. But... why is his body exactly the same as mine?"

Jiang Mu looked down at his body, then his gaze fell on his right arm.

On his right wrist, a copper coin-shaped birthmark is clearly visible.

He remembered that he originally had the same birthmark on his body.

What a coincidence!
Moreover, their names are reversed.

A crucial clue seemed to be lurking deep within my mind, yet it was obscured by a thick fog, making it impossible to discern.

"Also, what great calamity did the Xuanming World, where I lived in my previous life, suffer?"

"Why would a magical artifact from there appear in this world?"

"What's my wife's name? I remember, I think I also have a senior female classmate?"

"Also, haven't I seen you before?"

Jiang Mu grabbed the sleeping goose and stared at it closely. "It feels so familiar. Could it be that I used to like braised goose?"

The startled white goose flapped its wings frantically, honking and struggling.

"Clap!"

Jiang Mu slapped the goose twice, and it immediately quieted down.

Jiang Mu tried to recall more information.

My head started throbbing again.

He patted his head hard, trying to ease the pain, then tossed the goose aside and muttered:
"Oh well, let fate decide. I've already transmigrated here. Right now, my biggest worry is that woman, and that murderer who wants revenge on me."

After learning Tang Jinxian's identity, he was constantly worried that the woman would seek revenge later.

After all, such a shameful memory would make anyone feel terrible.

Strangely, three whole days passed, and the other party never came to see him.

Only the patrol office sent someone to ask a routine question, and they only said that the magistrate had regained consciousness and was fine.

"Maybe she won't remember that part after she regains consciousness?"

Jiang Mu could only guess at that.

If that's the case, it would save a lot of trouble.

As for the man in black, he probably won't dare to cause trouble for him anytime soon.

They could only hope that the patrol officers would capture him as soon as possible.

Just as he was secretly rejoicing, the goose honked loudly. Jiang Mu looked up and saw a carriage parked outside his courtyard gate.

The carriage curtain was lifted by a slender, fair hand, revealing half of a cool, aloof profile.

Who else could it be but Tang Jinxian?

Jiang Mu opened his mouth, "Well, you're too happy too soon."

The maid responsible for driving the carriage put down her footstool, bowed, and stepped aside.

Tang Jinxian, dressed in a dress embroidered with gold peonies and dyed with cherry blossoms and purple, bent down and stepped out of the carriage. She lightly held the door frame with one hand, first looked up at the courtyard gate, and then her small apricot-colored embroidered shoes, covering her delicate feet, peeked out from under the hem of her dress. She stepped onto a footstool and walked down steadily.

As she got off the bus, her hips, bound by her skirt, formed a rounded, full, full moon shape.

It is like a fertile piece of land.

It is ready to be cultivated.

"Tsk, shouldn't I be so listless and frigid after living a second life? Why do I still seem so lively? I've actually developed feelings for this woman. What a sin."

Jiang Mu looked away and covered his face with the fan. "I hope this woman isn't here to kill someone."
