In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

After hearing this, Su Zhizhi froze in place, not daring to move, while Xie Chengjin took a thick wooden stick and knocked the spider down.

Unfortunately, the spider fell to the ground with a "pop" and disappeared without a trace.

Xie Chengjin looked around but couldn't find it.

"What happened? Are the bugs gone?" Su Zhizhi asked Xie Chengjin anxiously. She didn't dare to move at all at this moment.

"I got it off your clothes, but I don't know where it fell. It's a big spider." Xie Chengjin answered truthfully.

"Huh? Spider?"

"Where is it? Find it quickly!"

When Su Zhizhi heard it was a spider, she jumped up and down and even grabbed Xie Chengjin's arm in fear, not daring to let go.

Xie Chengjin found Su Zhizhi's impressed look a little funny and couldn't help but comfort her, "It's okay, it's gone."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin couldn't help but touch Su Zhizhi's head.

After hearing Xie Chengjin's words and confirming that there were indeed no spiders around, Su Zhizhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

However, it was Su Zhizhi pulling Xie Chengjin's sleeve and Xie Chengjin touching Su Zhizhi's head that was seen by Shen Wenjun who came over after hearing the noise.

When Shen Wenjun saw the intimate behavior of the two, she became so jealous that her eyes were about to smoke.

Shen Wenjun hid in a dark corner, and neither Su Zhizhi nor Xie Chengjin noticed his presence.

But only Shen Wenjun himself knew how jealous he was of Song Shijun, but even more so, he was confused about Su Zhizhi.

He never thought that Su Zhizhi would be interested in Song Shijun. He thought Su Zhizhi was deeply in love with Xie Chengjin, so he had been hiding his feelings, fearing that Su Zhizhi would hate him and alienate him.

But now facing this scene, Shen Wenjun's ideas seemed to collapse, and his thoughts began to grow wildly and silently. He could clearly realize that he seemed a little crazy now.

He was thinking, since Su Zhizhi was interested in Song Shijun, could he also attract Su Zhizhi?

Shen Wenjun thought, since Xie Chengjin is gone now and Song Shijun has already taken action, why should he keep enduring? Before, he did so because Su Zhizhi was deeply in love with Xie Chengjin, but now he doesn't need to tolerate Song Shijun anymore.

The budding love in Shen Wenjun's heart was growing wildly. He apologized to the still missing Xie Chengjin in his heart, and then he made up his mind to steal his girlfriend. However, he now knew that he had no competitiveness, so he simply planned to take the imperial examination first, and wait until he entered the court as an official, thinking that Su Zhizhi would look at him with a higher regard.

Thinking of this, Shen Wenjun got up and returned to the resting place. She didn't want to see Song Shijun and Su Zhizhi entangled anymore.

But what Shen Wenjun didn't know was that the competitor he thought was Xie Chengjin was actually Xie Chengjin himself.

The group continued on their journey. This time, nothing went wrong on the road, and they spent a few days in peace.

It's just that Xie Chengjin was particularly considerate and caring towards Su Zhizhi along the way, and he treated Su Zhizhi almost meticulously. This feeling made Su Zhizhi more and more familiar, but in Su Zhizhi's impression, Xie Chengjin could not do this, which made Su Zhizhi very conflicted.

It's not that she doesn't suspect that Song Shijun is Xie Chengjin, but firstly, she has no evidence. Secondly, she has been testing Xie Chengjin's identity, but Xie Chengjin's words are flawless, which makes Su Zhizhi extremely crazy, but she can't do anything to Xie Chengjin.

However, in Shen Wenjun's eyes, Su Zhizhi's spying on Xie Chengjin seemed like the two of them were flirting.

Whenever Shen Wenjun saw this kind of scene, he would be furious, but he was reluctant to blame Su Zhizhi, and stubbornly believed that it was all Xie Chengjin's fault.

In order to numb herself, Shen Wenjun had to study harder, trying to use books to dilute her hatred for Xie Chengjin.

Every time at this time, Shen Wenjun couldn't help but miss Xie Chengjin. If Xie Chengjin was here, Shen Wenjun thought she would not be so psychologically unbalanced.

Several people had been traveling for several days in a row, and even their rest time was in the carriage. Although they were not particularly tired, the horses could not bear it.

Finally, after persisting for a while, the horse stopped completely. No matter how the driver drove it, the horse remained motionless.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin had no other choice but to stop halfway and wait for the horses to rest for a while before continuing on their way.

It just so happened that the three of them had been concentrating on their journey these past few days and had not really appreciated the scenery along the way.

Su Zhizhi talked to Xie Chengjin for a while, then jumped off the carriage and walked away.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin hurriedly followed, seeming to be very worried that something might happen to Su Zhizhi.

Seeing this, Shen Wenjun bit his lip and finally followed. Although he disliked Xie Chengjin, he didn't want to leave the two of them alone.

But before following, Shen Wenjun forgot to tie up the horse. They all thought that there shouldn't be any people in this remote wilderness.

When the three of them returned to the carriage, they were all dumbfounded. They saw that where the carriage had been, there was only a leaning carriage left, and the horse next to it was nowhere to be seen.

Su Zhizhi thought to herself that something was wrong, and without bothering to check where the horse had gone, she hurriedly ran towards the carriage and quickly checked the gifts. Su Zhizhi's face became solemn.

The two men also followed behind Su Zhizhi. Seeing Su Zhizhi's expression, they felt a little unsure.

It was Xie Chengjin who spoke first, "Why does Miss Su look so unhappy? Is there something missing?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi glanced at Xie Chengjin deeply before speaking in a deep voice, "Thieves must have passed by here just now. Not only were our horses taken away, but even the valuables in the carriage were looted."

Shen Wenjun's eyes widened as he hurried to check. After confirming everything was correct, he heaved a sigh of relief and murmured, "Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, these books of mine are still there."

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi sighed slightly, then looked at Xie Chengjin with an apologetic look, "Mr. Song, I'm very sorry for losing your horse, but don't worry, I will definitely pay you back double the price of this horse in the future."

Before Xie Chengjin could say anything, Shen Wenjun also apologized to Xie Chengjin.

After all, this carriage still belongs to Xie Chengjin. For Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun, they are just borrowing Xie Chengjin's things. Now, due to negligence, property losses have occurred, and Su Zhizhi is also very troubled.
