Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Seeing this, Du Yuejiao couldn't help but swallow hard. She had always known that this person was strong, but she never expected him to be this strong, killing someone with a single punch.

No wonder there were rumors in the village that Shi Xiao could kill a wild boar with one punch; she thought the villagers were exaggerating.

If he gets married in the future and they have an argument, will he be punched to death?

Shi Xiao saw Du Yuejiao staring blankly at him. Could she have been frightened by him?

As she walked out of the woods, she saw two horses happily grazing. She thought the horses were lost and she was going to walk to find them.

The closer they got to the prefectural city, the more ambushes they encountered along the way. As darkness fell, they wondered how many ambushes they had encountered and how many people they had killed that day.

The relentless, non-stop battles have left them physically and mentally exhausted.

The closer they got to the prefectural city, the more people they had, and this time their numbers increased to fifty.

Shi Xiao was seriously injured, and two guards died. It was because of their desperate protection that Du Yuejiao was able to break through the encirclement with Shi Xiao. They are now hiding in a cave at the bottom of the cliff, thus avoiding their search.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Du Yuejiao finally felt relieved and plopped down on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Shi Xiao took a knife for her; the wound ran from her shoulder to her lower back, and in the deepest part, the bone was visible.

After breaking through the encirclement, Shi Xiao fainted. She immediately applied medicine and then carried Shi Xiao to this cave, where they temporarily escaped their pursuit.

She was lucky to find the cave; she stepped into a hole but managed to escape unscathed.

When she touched Shi Xiao's burning hot arm, she realized that Shi Xiao had a fever, and the temperature was quite high.

He quickly took out diluted spiritual spring water from his spatial storage and fed it to Shi Xiao.

After a while, it was noticed that the temperature on Shi Xiao's forehead had dropped a bit, and a few beads of sweat appeared.

Du Yuejiao breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pancake and chewed it carefully. Before she had finished the pancake, she heard footsteps coming from above.

“One of them is injured and can’t have gone far. Search every inch of the place, don’t miss any spot.”

"Yes"

Du Yuejiao heard everything they said in the cave, so it was only a matter of time before they found it.

The cave was small, only about 20 or 30 square meters in size, and contained only some dry firewood and dry grass in the corners, clearly left behind by hunters who stopped here to rest.

The only way in and out of the cave was the path they had just come down from; there was no other way to go.

Going out now would be suicide, but staying put would also mean certain death if they found us.

"The bloodstains disappear here. Could they have fallen off the cliff and died?"

"Prepare ropes, go down and check, we need to find them alive or dead."

"Yes"

Then the rope was thrown down and hit the stone wall, and she heard it all clearly.

She glanced at Shi Xiao, who had shielded her from the knife and was now unconscious.

Du Yuejiao made a decision: she took Shi Xiao into the space cabin and settled him in the bedroom next to hers.

The wound is on my back, so I can only lie face down.

The clothes were soaked with sweat, dirt, and blood, a smell that made the unconscious man frown slightly.

Du Yuejiao also smelled the pungent odor. After hesitating for a long time, she took off Shi Xiao's upper clothes, fetched water to wipe his body, and applied medicine to the other wounds.

Finally, she lit the sleeping incense. She couldn't let Shi Xiao wake up in the space, not even if he was her savior.

As Du Yuejiao emerged from the bathroom, she saw two men in black holding torches, carefully searching for clues inside the cave.

Goodness, they even found a crumb the size of a third of a thumb. Their eyesight is really good.

“They must have stayed here. There are crumbs of bread on the ground. They can’t have gone far. Let’s give chase.”

"Yes"

Du Yuejiao lay on the soft bed and began to snore softly in less than a minute, clearly exhausted from the day.

Meanwhile, the imperial envoy, accompanied by dozens of guards, was also searching for them along the way.

"Sir, signs of a fight have been found about a kilometer ahead. There are more than a dozen corpses at the scene, all of them suicide soldiers. The four Chen brothers have been killed, and Madam Wu is missing. No account books have been found at the scene."

"Go and see." The imperial envoy's face was ashen. He never expected to arrive a step too late. He had interrogated them all night after returning to the prefectural city, and they finally relented at dawn and confessed everything. Having obtained definite information, he immediately led his men to Niujia Village.

But they were still a step too late. They found several signs of a fight on the road and chased after them, but they were still a step too late.

I wonder if Madam Wu is safe at this moment, and whether the account books are still there.

When Du Yuejiao woke up, she checked the time on her phone in her spatial dimension. It was 9:50 a.m. She had set the time in this world according to the outside time, so the difference was not significant.

It should be the hour of Si (9-11 AM) outside now; he slept really soundly.

I went next door to check on Shi Xiao and saw that the wound on his back had scabbed over, his face was no longer as pale as it had been yesterday, and his lips had regained their color. He was still asleep because of the sleeping potion.

Du Yuejiao ate a quick meal and left the space. She didn't see any trace of the men in black around her, so she figured they must have already left or gone somewhere else to look for them, and probably wouldn't be back for a while.

She laid out a thick layer of hay before bringing Shi Xiao out and had him lie on it. The effects of the sleeping potion should wake him up soon, so she went to prepare some food first.

Du Yuejiao hunted a pheasant nearby, cleaned it by the stream, took out an old earthenware pot from her spatial storage, filled it with water, carried it back to the cave, and started a fire to slowly stew it.

Shi Xiao was woken up by hunger, especially when he smelled the fragrant chicken soup, which made him even hungrier, and his stomach kept rumbling.

I turned my head and met a pair of concerned eyes.

"Brother Shi Xiao, you're awake?"

"Hmm." Shi Xiao's face flushed involuntarily. Her stomach was growling so loudly, she must have heard it!

Shi Xiao didn't dare to look up. He struggled to sit up and realized that he wasn't wearing any clothes on his upper body. His body seemed to have been washed and was very clean.

The thought that it was just the two of them there made Shi Xiao's face turn bright red.

"The timing is perfect, and the pheasant soup is ready. I'll serve you some soup now." Du Yuejiao ladled out a bowl of chicken soup, and when she turned around, she noticed that the burly man's face was red.

Considering Shi Xiao's reluctance to look at her, she guessed the reason.

However, she didn't intend to expose him. Pretending not to notice anything unusual, she brought the chicken soup to Shi Xiao and prepared to feed him. "Brother Shi Xiao, drink some quickly. You haven't eaten for a day and a night. You must be starving!"

"I... I can do it myself." Shi Xiao still didn't dare to look at her, took the bamboo tube, and began to eat heartily.
