The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

At first, he thought they were the footprints of a wild animal.

However, upon closer inspection, it was found that this was not the case.

Rather, it is... the footprints of people.

Has anyone been going up the mountain recently?

Jiang Chuan initially thought so, but then realized that something seemed off.

These footprints are not messy, but very orderly; in fact, they are all the same thickness.

Having practiced martial arts with Ru Shuang for some time, Jiang Chuan knew that when a normal person walks, it is impossible for the force of each step to be the same, so the footprints are also of varying depths.

But these footprints are different; each one is the same thickness.

In addition to these footprints, Jiangchuan also discovered other footprints.

Based on the length of the footprints, it is clear that they were not left by the same person.

But one thing they have in common is that their thickness is also the same.

"Master!"

“There are experts here, and not just one person.”

With a flash of thoughts, Jiang Chuan immediately thought of an organization.

I've come up with some answers.

These people came for Ru Shuang.

Although Ru Shuang had been hiding her true identity from Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan had already guessed her true identity through various details. Of course, after guessing it, he couldn't help but feel a little unreal.

He thought it was a real world, but it turned out to be a two-dimensional anime world.

It's unbelievable that he traveled into the world of an anime.

Besides that, he did not reveal to Ru Shuang that he knew her true background.

After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Ru Shuang wants to hide her past.

Why should Jiang Chuan make a fool of himself by revealing these past events?

But today, a master suspected to be from that organization appeared and showed up in this mountain forest. Jiang Chuan felt he had to tell Ru Shuang about these things.

So he didn't linger, quickly turned around, went down the mountain, and left.

Go home.

Ru Shuang is breastfeeding her child.

Jiang Chuan's return was somewhat unfortunate.

He quickly turned around, pretending not to have seen the glimpse of white from before.

After Ru Shuang finished feeding the baby, she turned to Jiang Chuan, who had his back to her, and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

She wasn't angry about Jiang Chuan's earlier recklessness, because she could sense the urgency emanating from him, which clearly indicated that something important had happened.

For a moment, Jiang Chuan didn't know whether he should turn around or not, and kept his back to Ru Shuang.

Ru Shuang said, "Turn around."

Jiang Chuan then turned around and said to Ru Shuang, "I went hunting in the mountains today and found some footprints. At first, I thought it was people from the village who went up the mountain, but after observing these footprints, I found that it wasn't. The depth of these footprints is all the same..."

As Ru Shuang listened to Jiang Chuan's story, her expression gradually became serious.

She had a rough idea of ​​who had appeared in the mountains.

Thinking of this, she had the idea of ​​taking her daughter and fleeing this place as soon as possible.

But in the end, she managed to restrain herself.

I found myself here and have stayed here for a long time.

If I were to simply flee like this, I could very well bring undeserved disaster upon the village.

She had to find a way to get rid of all these problems.

After thinking it over, Ru Shuang made a decision. She looked at Jiang Chuan seriously and said, "Jiang Chuan, can I entrust you with something?"

"what's up?"

"Please take good care of Yan'er for me."

Upon hearing Ru Shuang's words, Jiang Chuan's expression changed slightly.

"I'll take care of Yan'er for you, what about you?"

Ru Shuang said in a deep voice, "I'm going to the mountains."

"Some things can't be solved by simply avoiding them; they have to be dealt with."

"If I haven't returned by this time tomorrow, I hope you will take Yan'er and leave as soon as possible."

"I know this request is a bit abrupt and unreasonable, but I hope you can take good care of Yan'er for me. I really hope she can grow up as an ordinary person."

Jiang Chuan sensed the mother's love for her child in Ru Shuang's words, and also heard the resolute intent.

He didn't say anything like "I'll go to the mountains with you."

Because if he also went to the mountains, there would be even less people to take care of Yan'er.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chuan nodded, "Okay!"

“However, taking care of Yan’er is a bit difficult for me, a grown man, alone. So, I hope that you, the mother of this child, will come back as soon as possible.”

Ru Shuang's expression was serious, and her tone was firm, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back."

Even a tight net cannot stop a mother's determination to protect her child.

And so, with her sword in hand, Ru Shuang left this place, alone, and ventured into the mountains.

After Ru Shuang left.

Jiang Chuan held the sleeping Yan'er, feeling inexplicably irritable.

He suddenly felt a deep hatred for his own powerlessness.

If I were stronger and could solve all problems with force, I wouldn't need Ru Shuang to face these issues; I could accompany her into the mountains.

Instead of just waiting here anxiously, not knowing how Ru Shuang is doing.

This time, even Jiang Chuan didn't know what level of experts that organization—no, it should be called the Net organization—would send.

Perhaps in the original story, Ru Shuang hid with Yan'er for many years before their whereabouts were discovered by the Luo Wang.

But now, because Jiang Chuan met Ru Shuang, he has changed Ru Shuang's fate, which is why this happened.

Chapter Fourteen: Confession

The day passed quickly.

Throughout the day, Jiang Chuan stayed by Yan'er's side. When she was hungry, he would feed her millet porridge, which he had specially prepared after Ru Shuang left.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Although Ru Shuang said that if she did not return the next day, Jiang Chuan would leave with Yan'er.

Even so, Jiang Chuan still dared not sleep at night.

Under such circumstances, he simply couldn't sleep.

He and Ru Shuang hadn't known each other for very long, and their story wasn't particularly memorable. Yet, these ordinary daily moments kept echoing in his mind.

The more I think about it, the less I can sleep.

During this time, Yan'er woke up once or twice, and Jiang Chuan played with her for a while before she fell asleep again.

This is not surprising, after all, children this age sleep for more than ten hours a day, so it can be said that they spend the vast majority of their time sleeping.

It continued until the middle of the night.

Bang!

Jiang Chuan's door suddenly rattled.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Chuan quickly placed Yan'er on the bed and went out to open the door.

As the door opens.

Under the moonlight, a beautiful face stained with blood came into his view. The face was deathly pale, as if it had lost all color.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan quickly stepped aside and welcomed Ru Shuang as she entered.

Ru Shuang reeked of blood. She had changed into her original metal armor when she went up the mountain today, but even so, there were still many wounds on her arms and shoulders, with blood flowing out and staining the armor red.

The smell of blood filled Jiang Chuan with a bitter taste and deep heartache.

But he did not forget the important things because of this.

She quickly found some herbs that she used before, and boiled hot water to clean Ru Shuang's wounds.
