After eating, she fell asleep. She probably hadn't recovered from the injury, especially the big bump on the back of her head, which hurt when touched.
Jiang Shang said very gently, "You go to sleep first, we will wait for you to recover before we set off."
She lay back on the haystack and asked worriedly, "Then what if the emperor of the Blue Kingdom sends people to kill us? Are we still in the Blue Kingdom?"
Jiang Shang smiled confidently and helped her cover her with his coat, "You can sleep peacefully, I'm here with you."
Just as he was about to turn around and pack away, Manmei grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "Come back soon, I'm scared alone."
Jiang Shang sat next to her, "I'll stay with you. I'll clean up after you fall asleep."
Manmei nodded, "Wait until I wake up and we'll clean up together. You can also sleep for a while. I'm afraid if you're not here."
Jiang Shang thought that she had never relied on others.
I talked a lot of nonsense last night when I was sleepy.
When she was in Washington, she struggled to survive on her own. When she opened an inn in a small town, she was able to support herself all by herself. Even when she was kidnapped, she couldn't find anyone to turn to for help.
He softened his heart and sat next to her. He was very gentlemanly and touched her forehead at a distance of one foot. The temperature was not high. "You can sleep peacefully, I will stay with you."
Manmei was very touched. She felt very safe lying next to Jiang Shang. Lan Ting made people feel cynical and could not rely on anything in trouble. Only Jiang Shang could give her this feeling of security.
Needless to say, Hua Feng is just walking through a minefield around him, okay? A cynical person like Lan Ting cannot give people a sense of security, but the gentle and elegant Jiang Shang can give people such a sense of solidity and reliability.
Feel.
Jiang Shang saw Manmei sleeping. He was naturally tired after running around for the past few days. Next to her, he rested half against the wall with his eyes closed. Martial arts practitioners are very alert and can hear any movement.
Manmei slept for a long time, and she judged that she had a slight concussion, which did not have many sequelae. She could just rest for a few days.
After having a full sleep, Jiang Shang checked her injuries and told her that she needed to rest for a few days. When he saw the blisters on her feet, he took out the medicine, opened the blisters, applied good medicine, and bandaged her feet.
It was a rice dumpling, and she could barely fit into her shoes. The embroidered shoes Yanliu Fenghe made for her had already worn out several holes. Where could she find shoes in such a barren mountain? She could only make do with them.
Jiang Shang's distressed look fell in her eyes. It felt good to be loved, really good.
But Manmei felt very guilty in her heart. She didn't have that kind of love for Jiang Shang. It was just a normal appreciation for a woman when she saw a handsome man. She understood Jiang Shang's thoughts about her, but she couldn't respond.
She and Jiang Shang went to the creek to clean the pots and pans together. The two of them divided the work and worked together quickly.
She also washed herself up a bit, otherwise she would be disgusted by her unkempt appearance.
Jiang Shang took her to pick a lot of wild vegetables in the woods and went back to the house to cook vegetable soup. She watched the fire carefully while Jiang Shang sat in front of the fire and watched her.
This feeling is as if the two have been living together for a long time. It is very natural and has become a habit of life. Jiang Shang is born with this kind of affinity, which makes people feel very relaxed around him.
"Would you like to come back to Yue with me?" The soup opened and she filled a bowl for Jiang Shang. Jiang Shang took it, stirred it in the bowl a few times with a spoon, and suddenly raised his head and asked.
"No." She decisively refused. Are you kidding me? If you don't deserve the right name, you might as well go back and be the innkeeper's wife.
Although Jiang Shang is gentle, he is not stupid at all. He has been a gang leader for such a long time and has such a great reputation. If you think he is stupid, you are insulting your own IQ.
Faced with Manmei's rejection, Jiang Shang didn't say much. He simply analyzed her current situation with Manmei, "Your current situation is very dangerous. The emperor of the Blue Kingdom already knows your hiding place. You
If you go back, he will definitely continue to send people to deal with you. Once he finds that you cannot be kidnapped and used to threaten Lan Ting, he may kill you directly."
Manmei was speechless, "What's the benefit of killing me? Can I still influence Lan Ting's decision?"
Now that Jiang Shang said this, she couldn't help but believe it. No one wanted to try their best to survive and die in the hands of such a supporting character who could no longer support him, right?
Seeing that she was a little shaken, Jiang Shang continued, "Now the Emperor Lan and Lan Ting are fighting fiercely. It won't be long before the winner is decided. If Lan Ting wins, you can go back and continue to open the inn. This
For a while, you should first come to Yue to avoid trouble. Just think of it as coming to Yue to relax.
You may not know much about the situation in our country.
The Yue Kingdom does not have any aristocrats such as emperors. It is all governed by the Council of Elders composed of aristocratic families. Each family controls each region. In order to fight against the surrounding countries, a Yue Kingdom is formed. It is better to say that it is a country than that of each aristocratic family.
alliance.
The area controlled by our Jiang family happens to be on the border with Li State and Lan State, so I am sent here every time.
The scenery of the Yue Kingdom is very beautiful, the major families are self-respecting, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is very strong, which is different from the Li Guolin Kingdom. Don't you like miscellaneous notes from various places? You might as well go around and read more while you are young.
If you don't like places with big rules, we can travel alone.
Every two years, there will be gatherings of major aristocratic families, held in turn in various powerful aristocratic families. This year it happens to be the turn of our neighboring aristocratic family. My father sent me to go, and I will take you with me to see the excitement."
He never mentioned that he asked her to go to his house. Manmiao knew that Jiang Shang was just euphemistically expressing the hope that she could return to Vietnam with him.
But she really hasn't thought about it yet. Jiang Shang's family is so big and he is so outstanding. He must be the heir who has high hopes for him. She went by herself. She has no power, no ability to scheme, and no way to help others.
In his eyes, he was not qualified to stand by his side at all.
She didn't quite believe that Jiang Shang would fall out with the family for her. In this case, it would be better not to go in the first place, so that the relationship between the two would not be so bad that it is irreparable.
Maybe it's because I'm more touched than loved.
She is grateful for everything Jiang Shang has done for her, but this is not love. She appreciates Jiang Shang, but she is still far from love.
Therefore, Manmei did not have the courage to risk everything to fight for Jiang Shang.
She hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was not safe in the inn, so she might as well go to Yue Country to avoid the limelight. After a few months, those who opposed Lan Ting would not see her anymore and would forget that such a small character existed.
.
"Okay, let's go see the excitement with you." She never mentioned the visit to Jiang's family. Jiang Shang must have understood what she meant.
Jiang Shang's eyes lit up quickly, and his expression was different from before, "You will definitely feel that your trip was worthwhile."
