Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Shen Zhaozhao didn't know that the bearded man had already imagined so many things.

She just felt that his expression had relaxed a little, so she decided to answer first: "Of course it's true. At that time, he threw away the sachets thrown by other girls and gave me two pearl hairpins, promising to marry me only."

Shen Zhaozhao lied without blushing or beating her heart. She just wanted to survive at the moment. If she was left here, she would be in trouble.

She stared at Chu Yu with tearful eyes and accused him, "My husband, you can't just abandon me because of the conflict we had. Otherwise, you will be a heartless man and will be despised by the world."

No one is better than her at playing the role of being abandoned, and these are all leftovers from her previous life.

But she couldn't figure out Chu Yu's thoughts. He looked quite harmless before. She decided to take a gamble!

Chu Yu glared at her for a while, and knew what she was thinking. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Oh, do you know you are wrong, madam? Then apologize to me."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Shen Zhaozhao put the butterfly hairpin back on her head and secretly rolled her eyes: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, of course I know I was wrong! I'm so sorry--" and stretched out her voice.

Why didn't she realize before that Chu Yu was a guy who could open a dyeing factory with a little color?

Hearing this, the bearded man had everything figured out, and immediately ordered people to release Shen Zhaozhao as well.

The big man with curly beard is named Li Quan. He is the second in command of Qingfeng Village and originally made a living by selling pork.

In recent years, Leyang County has suffered severe flooding, the people are living in poverty, and the refugees have become bandits.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to join Qingfeng Village.

Compared with other bandits who committed arson, murder, looting and all kinds of evil, the leader of Qingfeng Village could be said to be a breath of fresh air. He set rules for everyone: do not oppress civilians and do not rob innocent women.

The prefect of Leyang County was a corrupt official who embezzled all the disaster relief funds allocated by the palace.

Since the higher-ups did nothing, the leader of Qingfeng Village robbed the unscrupulous wealthy merchants passing by and then provided relief to the refugees suffering from the plague.

The location of Qingfeng Village cannot be known to anyone at will, so Shen Zhaozhao and Chu Yu were blindfolded and brought to the village.

After untying the black cloth from his eyes, Shen Zhaozhao found a group of people surrounding them.

A round-faced little girl in red ran up to Chu Yu and stared at him curiously for a while.

Her voice, as crisp as a silver bell, rang out: "Li Quan, is this the little husband you captured for me?"

Turning her head and seeing Shen Zhaozhao, she slightly widened her eyes and spoke in a slightly different tone: "Why is there a woman here? Didn't my brother say that we can't capture women?"

Li Quan pushed the little girl away from Chu Yu and said with a smile, "Go away, what little husband? He is the brother who saved my life."

Fearing that the little girl really had other thoughts, he added sternly: "I'm telling you, don't set your sights on my little brother. This..." He pointed at Shen Zhaozhao, "is his wife."

Shen Zhaozhao felt a little embarrassed when she met the little girl's inquiring gaze, but she had said it herself and she couldn't deny it.

It was not until she went to bed at night that she realized what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.

Shen Zhaozhao pulled the little girl in red aside and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any other rooms here?"

She secretly looked back at the closed door again. Chu Yu was injured in prison and Li Quan was applying medicine to him.

Originally, Li Quan wanted to ask her to help Chu Yu apply medicine, but she refused sternly because she wanted to discuss the room matters with the girl in red.

Although cultivators are not particular about trivial matters, she was still reluctant to sleep with a man at night. Besides, Chu Yu had a grudge against her. If he killed her while she was asleep, that would be no small matter.

"Ah?" The little girl didn't understand why Shen Zhaozhao wanted another room.

"Of course not. There are many people in our village, and this is the only room that is empty." Li Quan opened the door and walked out.

Shen Zhaozhao was a little tangled. His eyes fell on the little girl's face, and his eyes flashed: "Can I... sleep with you?"

"How can this be possible? It doesn't make sense for a young couple to sleep in separate rooms?" Li Quan answered before the girl did, and pushed Shen Zhaozhao towards the room.

When he was near the door, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, "Come in quickly, I tell you, a couple quarrels at the head of the bed but makes up at the foot of the bed. If you give in to the little brother, I guarantee he will be happy. But you have to be careful, the little brother is seriously injured."

He pushed Shen Zhaozhao into the room, then very considerately closed the door and walked away with the little girl, instructing her as he walked: "This is a matter between husband and wife, don't interfere!"

Shen Zhaozhao stood in front of the door for a full minute and decided to accept his fate.

She walked quickly to the table and sat down, watching Chu Yu change his clothes and wash his hands slowly with clean water.

The clothes Chu Yu was wearing should have been found by Li Quan. Although they were made of coarse cloth, they fit him well. However, he would probably look good in a sack.

Shen Zhaozhao observed for a while and found that Chu Yu looked normal, as if his injury was not that serious?

He was capable of killing people, but maybe the blood just looked scary on his clothes at the time.

Thinking of the topics that the jailers talked about in the cell, she still didn't understand something, so she decided to ask him: "Do you think it's a little strange that we fell here?"

Chu Yu didn't care. He picked up the towel from the shelf and wiped his hands carefully, inch by inch. He hung the towel back on the shelf before answering her: "Why is it strange?"

Shen Zhaozhao leaned forward slightly and whispered, "The jailers said the imperial city here is the capital, but our imperial city is Jian'an. And I have never heard of many place names here..." She paused, "I suspect this is another world."

There are many strange things in the world. They themselves are in a book. This is their world, but it is hard to say that there may not be other worlds.

Chu Yu pulled out the chair opposite Shen Zhaozhao and sat down, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was much softer.

Shen Zhaozhao guessed correctly, this was indeed another world, but... Chu Yu looked at the palm of his hand. The biggest problem he had in this world was that he had no way of using magic.

Now he has become no different from an ordinary mortal. How can he find the jade ruyi in such a vast sea of ​​people?

Shen Zhaozhao stared at Chu Yu's palm and the way he tapped the table with his fingers, and realized that he didn't seem to be in a good mood at the moment.

She probably said nothing wrong, right?

Chu Yu said "hmm" lightly, agreeing with Shen Zhaozhao's statement.

Shen Zhaozhao was greatly encouraged and continued, "I remember that it was the jade ruyi that opened the big hole. If we want to go back, do we have to find the jade ruyi first?"

Chu Yu poured himself a glass of water, then took the cup opposite and poured one for Shen Zhaozhao. He took a sip of tea slowly.

"Senior sister is quite smart."

Shen Zhaozhao was a little proud and raised her head slightly: "Of course." This was the conclusion she came to after thinking for a long time.

Seeing Chu Yu's calm face, she restrained some of her excitement and asked, "Did you guess it a long time ago?"

Chu Yu did not answer. How could he have guessed it? He had fallen into this world on purpose. Only in this way could he get the Jade Ruyi.

The Jade Ruyi is an ancient magic weapon that has the ability to manipulate time and space. It is also the only thing that can compete with the ancient artifact, the Five Dragon Wheel.

After Yu Ruyi opens the space-time hole, it will choose a master. The demons have waited so long for it to appear in the world, so he must find it first.

Shen Zhaozhao didn't care about Chu Yu's indifference. She felt a little tired and propped her hands on the table: "Oh! How can I find it?"

As she was thinking, her eyes drifted to Chu Yu. His long eyelashes were dyed golden by the candlelight, and his expressionless face looked very elegant and harmless, exactly the same feeling that Awen gave her at the beginning.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too scorching, Chu Yu felt a little uncomfortable and his ears turned slightly red, but he didn't say anything in the end, just took another sip of tea.

Shen Zhaozhao sighed: Even more like it!

She asked, "Are you going to sleep?" Her tone was so soft that she didn't even notice it.

Chu Yu paused and nodded silently.

It is late autumn now and the nights are cold. Naturally, no one wants to sleep on the floor.

Shen Zhaozhao lay down on the bed first, moved inward to make room for Chu Yu, and folded his coat to separate the two of them.

When Chu Yu lay down, a scent of medicine filled her nose.

Shen Zhaozhao stared at his back for a long time, wanting to ask him where he was injured and how serious it was, but in the end he did not take any action.

In the middle of the night, Shen Zhaozhao felt a little damp and hot under her body, and her stomach ached severely. She sat up suddenly and threw off the quilt.

Looking down in the moonlight, she stood there in a daze.

Chu Yu was also awakened by her movement and asked dazedly, "What are you doing?"

Shen Zhaozhao looked at the pool of red on the bed sheet and murmured, "I'm bleeding!"

Chu Yu had sharp ears, so of course he heard it. He frowned and looked over, and sure enough, there was blood on Shen Zhaozhao's pants, and even the bed sheet under him had turned red.
