Jiang Jiu was shocked and was about to take off the man's mask when he was stopped by Nanny Qian.

"Girl, don't move. We can't take advantage of others' misfortune."

Jiang Jiu also pulled Madam Qian to confirm again and again: "Madam, do you still remember when I was fourteen years old and secretly went to the capital? I encountered robbers on the way, and he was the one who saved me?"

Because the journey was long, Nanny Qian did not go with them. Jiang Jiu, Xiao Yimo and Chu Yu went instead.

Although Xiao Yimo hired Cangjiu's killer to protect her along the way, it was this man who saved her when she encountered robbers.

Madam Qian looked carefully and said, "Miss, there are many men wearing masks in the world. How can you be sure it is him?"

Jiang Jiu pointed at the man's eyebrows under the mask: "Look, he has a mole between his eyebrows..."

Nanny Qian took a closer look and found that there was indeed a black mole in front of the eyebrow. With thick black eyebrows, it is usually not easy to be discovered.

Jiang Jiu took a look at the man's body. He had two knife wounds. Although neither was fatal, he was unconscious due to excessive bleeding.

Jiang Jiu and Nanny Qian helped the man up and took him directly to the Guanyin Temple.

The abbot of the Guanyin Temple saw Jiang Jiu carrying an injured patient, and asked the little monk to go down the mountain to invite a doctor.

After a lot of trouble, it was noon when they finally rescued the person.

The little monk took out a set of monk's clothes for the man to change into. Jiang Jiu also plucked up the courage and took off the man's mask with trepidation.

The man was very handsome. After seeing Lu Yunyang's handsomeness, other men could not be called handsome, but this man's bone structure was still very beautiful.

Especially his broad pectoral muscles and strong abdominal muscles. If it weren't for the knife wound on his abdominal muscles, his complete muscles would be even more perfect. And his waist is thin and long, and the well-proportioned muscles feel particularly good to the touch.

Just as Jiang Jiu's slender fingers slid towards the mysterious triangle area, her hand was suddenly held by someone.

"Have you seen enough..."

Jiang Jiu touched all the way down and felt like he was drooling.

I suddenly looked up and met a pair of eyes as cold as ice, and smiled awkwardly.

"I saved you. You were injured and I was applying medicine and bandaging you. I didn't mean to take advantage of you."

Jiang Jiu quickly applied ointment on the wound and bandaged it carefully before reluctantly putting on the man's clothes and covering him with the quilt.

Bringing medicine over, he said, "You were injured and lost too much blood. You fainted beside the bamboo forest in front of the temple. Now that you're awake, you should be fine. How are you feeling?"

The man wanted to sit up, but he felt dizzy and his head was pounding. He struggled for a while but failed. He was held down by Jiang Jiu.

"Don't worry, I'll feed you."

The man was about to say no, but he saw Jiang Jiu took out a reed. The center of the reed was hollow, which was just convenient for him to drink the medicine.

But the man still looked at Jiang Jiu warily. Jiang Jiu quickly took a bite himself and said, "It's not poisonous, don't worry."

The man waited for a while and made sure it was not poisonous before drinking it in one gulp.

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "I don't know you, and I have no grudge against you, so how could I harm you?"

"What's your name? Where do you live? I see the mask you're wearing, but you're someone with a history..."

Unexpectedly, the man closed his eyes tightly, without even looking at Jiang Jiu, and uttered a word quietly: "Everyone who knows my name is dead."

Jiang Jiu's hand holding the tea trembled slightly: "Okay, then you don't have to say it."

The man was very surprised and opened his eyes suddenly. He saw that Jiang Jiu had indeed put the tea back and was ready to leave.

Then he spoke again: "My name is Zhao Li."

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment and asked, "Are you going to kill me?"

Zhao Li stared at her for a moment with his narrow eyes. "You saved me, I won't kill you."

Jiang Jiu was relieved: "Then you have a good rest, I won't disturb you."

Jiang Jiu's intuition told her that this man was dangerous and she should stay away from him.

However, before I took two steps, he called me.

"Wait a moment……"

"Is there something?" Jiang Jiu blinked her bright eyes.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." Zhao Li was a little embarrassed, with a blush on her pale face.

Jiang Jiu was also hungry and smiled slightly: "Yes, I'll bring it to you."

However, Jiang Jiu did not step into Zhao Li's room again. Instead, he asked the little monk to bring the food in to him. After eating, Jiang Jiu began his annual chanting.

Don’t know who to save?

Jiang Jiu is actually not familiar with these ancient people.

As a baby, she remembered three faces, but now only Nanny Qian was left.

Then let’s save the modern self and family.

After reciting the Heart Sutra three times, Jiang Jiu felt much calmer.

She looked up suddenly, only to find Zhao Li leaning against the door frame with his arms folded, his lips curled as he looked at her leisurely, his eyes focused and trance-like, as if he wanted to see through her.

The monk's clothes were a little too big for him, as if they were hanging on him. He looked neither monk nor layman, and had a unique charm.

When he noticed Jiang Jiu's gaze, he suddenly woke up, the smile on his lips disappeared, and his eyes instantly became cold and indifferent.

"You're up now, are you feeling better?"

Zhao Li did not answer her, but glanced at her tied-up black hair, with an expression of indescribable loneliness and sadness.

"Are you married?"

Jiang Jiu blinked, blinked again, and nodded slightly in confusion.

"Since you're married, why doesn't your husband accompany you..."

Zhao Li's tone was cold and contained a hint of resentment.

Jiang Jiu didn't know how to explain his situation. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I am just one of his many concubines. I am not worthy of his company."

"Then leave him..." Suddenly, Jiang Jiu's wrist was tightly grasped by Zhao Li.

There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, but the scorching light was quickly suppressed by him, and after a while, it was as calm as water.

"What I mean is, if you're unhappy, I can take you away from here because you saved my life."

Hmm? Jiang Jiu stared at his features for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"

"No." The answer was too quick, and Zhao Li couldn't help but turn away.

Jiang Jiu held his face with his hands: "No, look at me more carefully, why do you feel so familiar? We obviously don't know each other..."

"Yes, we didn't know each other before." Zhao Li pulled her hand away and turned away.

Jiang Jiu didn't know what Zhao Li meant. He always felt that he was hesitant to speak. However, since he didn't want to say it, Jiang Jiu didn't intend to force him to speak.

"Alas, but I really..."

Jiang Jiu raised her foot to chase after him, but she underestimated the threshold of the temple, tripped, and fell forward.

Zhao Li reacted quickly, and with a reach of his long arms, he pulled Jiang Jiu into his arms.

A familiar figure suddenly flashed through Jiang Jiu's mind: "You are the one who followed me secretly..."

Zhao Li was guessed by Jiang Jiu, and just as she was about to let her go, Jiang Jiu grabbed her tightly.

"I don't know you at all. Why are you following me? Who are you? Who sent you? What do you want by following me?"

A series of questions came out of his mouth, catching Zhao Li off guard.

Just when he didn't know how to answer, a loud roar came from not far away.

"What are you doing?"
