A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Just as Wen Meijiu was wondering whether to go in, she heard rustling sounds coming from the outside, presumably the enemy was searching this area.

"Quick!" Wen Meijiu was pushed inside, tripped over a small stone, and fell to the ground.

Soon, Young Master Wang dragged the injured man in black in and quickly tidied up the entrance to the cave.

Just as Wen Meijiu adjusted to the dim light, the last ray of moonlight that managed to get in was blocked off, making it truly pitch black.

Not daring to move, unsure if there were snakes, insects, or rodents around, she slowly moved to the side. Unexpectedly, she reached out and touched something fleshy, which startled Wen Meijiu so much that her heart jumped into her throat.

Knowing that being discovered by the enemy would be even more dangerous, she forcefully covered her mouth, not allowing herself to make the slightest sound.

After a while, she analyzed it herself and concluded that the soft thing might be the body of the injured man in black, because she vaguely remembered that he had been thrown near her.

To be honest, even though I was an assassin in my past life, I'm still afraid of snakes and the like.

She tried to reassure herself that it must be the man in black, and her body moved to the right without her noticing, hoping to get as far away from it as possible.

"Um--"

As soon as Wen Meijiu sat down, she felt something strange beneath her. Hearing Wang Gongzi's low groan, she guessed that she had sat on his hand.

Young Master Wang spoke very softly, also afraid of making too much noise.

Actually, Wen Meijiu was sitting on his hand, and although she had some weight, it wasn't enough to make him yell. He was reminding Wen Meijiu in this way.

Hearing his voice, Wen Meijiu felt a little more at ease, finally knowing where the person breathing was.

"Shh-"

Wen Meijiu was no longer afraid and even deliberately reminded the other party not to make a sound.

She reached out and pulled the other person's hand away. The large hand was warm, and she was a little reluctant to let go. It was thick and made her feel safe. However, she quickly let go, as it would be immoral.

The darkness was eerily quiet. Wen Meijiu listened intently, able to hear the faint breathing of Young Master Wang. With that sound, she felt much more at ease.

After another cup of tea's time, Wen Meijiu's body became a little stiff, and she slightly bowed her head.

At the same time, Wang Gongzi next to her also made some faint noises. Wen Meijiu thought that he must be tired too.

After another cup of tea's time, Wen Meijiu got tired again. Just as she was about to sit up and move to the side, she was suddenly hit on the side by a head.

Her nose hurt a little from the impact, and Wen Meijiu rubbed it while glaring at the other person with displeasure. Although she couldn't see the person, she knew which direction it was from.

"I'm sorry, I had no choice."

Wen Meijiu thought that Young Master Wang would apologize to her, but he actually said that he had no choice but to do so. How could this be?

"Don't you say anything when you move?"

Wen Meijiu muttered a complaint in a low voice.

"You didn't say either," Young Master Wang replied calmly, his voice strangely stiff, as if he had truly been kidnapped.

"..." Wen Meijiu wanted to retort, but felt that saying anything would be pointless. What was the point of arguing with him? It would be better to just stay silent.

Not speaking doesn't mean Wen Meijiu will suffer a loss; she's never been one to suffer a loss.

Suddenly, she moved closer to him and elbowed his arm hard.

He thought the man would cry out in pain, but because he dared not make a sound, he could only endure it. As a result, after Wen Meijiu finished hitting him, he heard a "thud" and something seemed to fall from above his head. It sounded quite big, and it must have landed on Wang Gongzi's thigh.

What is that? Wen Meijiu asked curiously, reaching out to scan it.

Young Master Wang seemed to have anticipated her move, and he grasped her hand before she could, his voice brooking no argument:

"do not move."

Wen Meijiu was puzzled when she heard a rustling sound coming towards the back of her hand, and her heart sank.

Without even seeing it, Wen Meijiu could roughly imagine what was licking the back of her hand. The icy, bone-chilling sensation had already swept through her entire body, and she was instantly numb.

The crucial point is that while she couldn't move her body at all, her mind was still racing.

Is it a red forked tongue or a black forked tongue? Is it a solid-colored snake or a venomous, multi-colored one? Will it lick for a minute, or will it keep licking until she tries to run away?

Her palms were sweaty as she clasped hands with Young Master Wang, and she didn't dare to move an inch.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Meijiu felt that she had lost all feeling, and the icy feeling on the back of her hand finally disappeared.

She breathed a sigh of relief, completely exhausted, and could only manage to lean on Young Master Wang's shoulder.

The next second, she felt a chill on her leg; something cold wrapped around her calf.

Words like "scalp tingling" don't even begin to describe how she felt. She even stopped breathing, feeling like her legs were about to give way.

Subconsciously, she told herself that she needed to get rid of this nuisance as soon as possible. Young Master Wang noticed this and reminded her from the side:

"do not move."

Venomous snakes generally don't attack stationary objects unless you provoke them. Wen Meijiu understands this principle, but she just couldn't resist the urge just now.

Knowing she was about to give up, Young Master Wang reached out and held her head, gently patting it to comfort her.

"I really... regret listening to you and not coming... here."

She doesn't even dare to cry out loud now, for fear of disturbing the snake. What if it's a venomous snake and bites her hard?

She does have a way to treat snake venom, but she can't imagine the feeling of a snake's teeth piercing her skin; it's almost unbearable.

"That's too late."

His words were indifferent; it was unclear whether he was comforting her or angry with her.

Wen Meijiu didn't even have the courage to get angry, afraid that if she trembled, she would anger the snake. So she could only take advantage of his shoulder, gently open her mouth, and slowly and fiercely bite the flesh on his shoulder.

The snake coiled around her calf tighter and tighter, and the harder she bit him.

He was a real man; he didn't make a sound at all.

After a while, Wen Meijiu clearly felt the taste of blood in her mouth, and then she loosened her grip slightly, exhausted to the point that her forehead was covered in fine sweat.

"Could you kill it?" Wen Meijiu pleaded softly.

Given his skill and abilities, Wen Meijiu felt that killing a snake accurately and quickly in the dark, even faster than the snake biting her, shouldn't be a problem.

He shook his head slightly, and Wen Meijiu knew he wouldn't be so kind.

"Damn it." She bit her lip and cursed fiercely in his ear.

"Hang in there a little longer." His voice was so low, almost imperceptible, that Wen Meijiu couldn't hear it clearly.

"What?" she asked, slightly raising her head in the darkness.

"Hold on...." He seemed to have used all his strength to say it, and then tilted his head and rested it on her head. She was startled by the sudden movement and bumped her forehead.

"Hey!" Wen Meijiu exclaimed in surprise.

The sound startled the snake on the lower leg, and it scurried away in a panic.
