People in this era value promises greatly; if something is not there, it is simply not there. Even if a Wei Person were to chase after her and see that there was no pit, they should believe she is not here. After finishing everything, satisfied, she clapped her hands and ran into the cave to sleep.
In fact, she wasn't particularly afraid of people; she was just worried that some wild beast would fall in and insist on sharing a bed with her, which would be terrible.
But she couldn't care less about the wild beasts. Talking reason with a tiger or a wild dog wouldn't make any sense to them. All she could do was pray in her heart that such creatures wouldn't appear, especially the males...
Last night, she had been bitten by mosquitoes all night, but this night she slept well. She had a dream in which a fierce beast fell into the pit and bared its teeth at her. She screamed in fright and grabbed her sword to defend herself, only to see the beast suddenly roll on the ground and stand up as Chengyang Jun, who then shouted at her, "You bold one!"
She was startled and instantly woke up, drenched in sweat. This truly was a case of daydreaming leading to nightmares; sooner or later, she would scare herself sick thinking about Chengyang Jun.
Wiping her sweat, she looked up; it was still dark. She climbed out of the pit, thinking about taking a bath.
At this time, everyone was sound asleep; no one would be bored enough to wander to the riverside in the wilderness. She found a secluded spot, took off her outer clothes, and jumped into the water, swimming joyfully like a fish.
Back when she was in Niushan Village, she loved swimming and often played in the river, attracting the attention of village women who pointed and whispered about her. They talked about how it was improper and shameless...
She didn't care much about their opinions; it wasn't like she was naked. What was there to be afraid of while swimming? If they didn't want to see it, they shouldn't look. Why did they have to hover around her?
While grumbling internally, she didn't dare to be too ostentatious. However, strangely enough, every time women came around, no men ever approached as if she were a rotten fish that couldn't attract any cats.
At one point, she thought she had no feminine charm and that men found her unappealing. Later, she learned that Qing had been guarding the village entrance, allowing only women to come and go while forbidding men from entering.
At that time, she didn't understand his good intentions. Looking back now, he had treated her very well; it was just that her jealousy blinded her to many things. It wasn't until now that she lived alone that she began to remember all his kindnesses.
She sighed softly and emerged from the water. Deep in thought, she hoped that since no one was watching her now, no man would suddenly appear!
Unfortunately, her luck had never been great; even drinking a glass of cold water could lead to misfortune. Just then, a man who was utterly bored suddenly appeared.
Zhong Xue rode through the forest on horseback. Perhaps due to being kicked in the face by a woman, he had dreamt the night before of past memories with Yan Dan, dreaming of his death and the scene by the river during that spring night. His emotions were greatly stirred, feeling both joy and sorrow, resentment and longing, making it difficult for him to sleep.
Seeing that he could no longer find sleep, he got up in the middle of the night and rode out of the city alone. He didn’t know if it was Divine Intervention, but he let his horse roam freely all the way from the city gate to this spot, and then suddenly looked up to see someone swimming in the river from afar.
That should be a woman; too far away to see her features clearly, he felt that she was enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility, purity, and grace. She was refreshing, wearing only a strapless top that revealed her smooth, rounded shoulders, accentuating her exquisite figure. As the water rippled around her, the large waves revealed glimpses of her long, fair arms that hung naturally at her slender waist, outlining a beautiful curve in the water.
Perhaps tired from swimming, she sat on a rock and gently combed her hair with her fingers. Her long legs were exposed to the air, dazzlingly white and beautiful enough to make one’s mouth dry at first sight. Her rounded ankles were elegantly shaped, and that segment of her fair waist along with her flat abdomen without an ounce of fat almost made him nosebleed.
At this time before dawn, a woman swimming by the river could not be an ordinary girl; could she be a water fairy or a mountain spirit?
He wondered if it was just his imagination; she looked remarkably familiar. He urged his horse forward to take a closer look, but in the blink of an eye, she had vanished from the rock, leaving no trace behind.
Was it an illusion? Or had he just dreamt it? Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he searched around but found no one. He could only mutter to himself that perhaps he truly saw a fairy.
In fact, San Chun hadn’t gone anywhere; she had just submerged herself in the water to catch fish. Over these two years, while she hadn’t learned much else, her skill at catching fish had improved significantly. Within moments underwater, she caught a fish.
When she surfaced again, Zhong Xue was nowhere to be found; he had already left. San Chun didn’t realize that someone had come by during that brief moment. She tossed one fish onto the shore and dove down again to catch another one. Using her sword to scale and gut it over a fire she made, soon enough she smelled something delicious cooking.
After eating one fish, she wrapped the other in several large leaves. Originally planning to give it to a hunter as a treat but thinking better of it, she hugged it tightly and returned to her hiding spot.
Lying on the straw, she closed her eyes and secretly thought about how Qing Qi would come to pick her up later. There were still three hours left, and she prayed that he wouldn't forget this matter and leave her here all alone.
At this moment, it was already bright outside, and the sunlight warmed her body, making her feel quite comfortable. When a person becomes lazy, they tend to sleep more, and before long, she dozed off again.
Just as she was sleeping soundly, she suddenly heard a loud noise above her head. Immediately after, with a "thud," a dark object fell from the sky and landed right on her. Her stomach, her arms, and her beautiful legs all felt the impact. How could she bear to spit out the fish she had just managed to swallow? Instead, she sprayed a couple of mouthfuls of water out, hitting a person's... well, face.
That was indeed a person, and he was a man wearing a Crown. At that moment, his angry gaze was fixed on her, his eyes blazing with fury.
Upon seeing this man's face clearly, she couldn't help but scream. She wanted to escape, but her body hurt too much to move at all.
The face in front of her was incredibly handsome, but there was a red mark on his left cheek—probably where she had kicked him. The more she looked at him, the more frustrated she felt. Was this what they meant by "what you fear will come true"? Could it be that last night's dream was a sign that she was destined to meet him?
She hated him and glared at him as if her eyes were about to shoot fire...
