Chapter 5 Falling off a cliff

When Qin Lu woke up, the bright moon had already hung in the sky, emitting a warm and clear light.

"Iron Bull, Iron Bull!"

She was stunned for a long time before she realized that Qin Tieniu had just fallen down with her. She couldn't help but feel anxious. After looking around for a while, she realized that the young man was lying on his back not far from her.

"Wake up, Tieniu, where are you injured?"

Qin Lu hurriedly crawled forward, and through the clear light of the moonlight, she saw that the young man's face was horribly white, as if he had only breath in but no air left.

what to do……

She looked around for a moment, and when she saw the cave not far away, she gritted her teeth and grabbed the man's arms, dragging him in with great difficulty.

It was pitch black in the cave.

She found a dry branch and went out to search for a while before she found some branches and dead grass that could be used as firewood. She dug for a wooden stake and drilled it for a long time until her palms were numb and red.

A small cluster of sparks burst out and ignited the dead grass.

Qin Lu felt relieved and hurriedly added dry firewood to light the fire. Suddenly, a groan pierced her ears. The young man slowly opened his eyes and looked at her with a very painful expression. His eyes seemed a little stunned, like

It's like I don't remember who she is.

"Tieniu, you're awake!"

Seeing him waking up, Qin Lu almost wanted to cry with joy. After getting along with him these days, she really cherished this young man's life experience. She couldn't help but raise her hand and touched his head: "Does it still hurt?"

Iron Bull...Is he Iron Bull?

A trace of confusion flashed in the young man's eyes, and the images in his mind seemed to be coming out.

"Your Highness Ninth! The prince's men are coming! There are not many secret guards left in Jiuyou Pavilion in the mansion... I'm afraid they can't stop them!"

"Cover His Highness as he leaves!"

Those screams and killing sounds inexplicably made him feel a trace of anger rising in his chest, and he clenched his fists tightly. A trace of fierceness that Qin Lu had never seen appeared on his face that had always been silly, as if she was

The person in front of him was not Qin Tieniu, who was as gentle as a golden retriever, but a young demon god.

"tractor……"

The little girl's trembling voice finally brought Qin Tieniu back to his senses. He blinked slightly and looked at the face in front of him that was half worried and half panicked. His expression couldn't help but soften a little: "I'm fine... I'm just

I have a bit of a headache."

"Let me take a look."

When Qin Lu heard that he had a headache, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She strode forward, but suddenly her foot stumbled and she fell straight into Qin Tieniu's arms.

A muffled groan came from under her body. Qin Tieniu's delicate face almost wrinkled in pain, but he subconsciously hugged her tightly: "Daughter-in-law, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not pressuring you, right?"

The young man's chest was warm, but a little thin. He was already injured and then pressed by her like this, his face became paler. Qin Lu quickly stood up from him and was about to check what other injuries he had.

The expression on his face suddenly stiffened.

That thing she just stepped on... was actually a gold brick?!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her dazed, Qin Tieniu couldn't help but frown and cover his chest as he slowly sat up. What he saw was a piece of yellow gold, and the emblem on it made him feel that his brain was getting more and more painful.

Why is he so familiar...who is he?

"Here, there is gold here!"

Qin Lu was stunned and wanted to pick up the gold brick, but the gold brick was quite heavy, and it felt a bit difficult to carry it.

"This is... tax money."

A slender hand helped her pick up the gold. The young man squinted slightly and looked at the emblem on it. He subconsciously raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows: "When counties send tax revenue to the capital, they will have to stamp this on the gold bricks."

emblem."

"How would Tieniu know?"

Qin Lu couldn't help but blink. Thinking of the piece of jade of unknown origin but excellent quality, she couldn't help but have some guesses in her heart.

The life experience of her child adoptive husband... doesn't seem to be simple?

"H-how would I know?"

When Qin Tieniu was asked this question, the expression on his face suddenly became a little slack. He felt a pain in his head and fell to the ground convulsing while covering his head.

"tractor!"

Seeing his painful look, Qin Lu couldn't care less about the gold bricks. She wished she could exchange the gold bricks for medicine, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Who is it? Did dad find him?

"I, I remembered, I am..."

Qin Tieniu suddenly opened his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a black shadow rushing towards Qin Lu.

His eyes turned cold, and he directly protected the girl in his arms. However, his painful head was hit hard by that heavy punch, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He fainted before he could react.

"You, who are you..."

Qin Lu looked at the man in front of him who was wearing a face mask and black clothes with horrified eyes, and then looked at the pale-faced young man next to him, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.

"Haha...it turned out to be two little dolls, which really scared me."

A cold light flashed across the face exposed outside the scarf, and the man directly picked Qin Lu up. His voice was hoarse and gloomy: "Little doll, why are you here?"

Qin Lu rolled her eyes, and suddenly glanced at the gold brick from the corner of her eye, and she suddenly had some guesses in her heart.

If this person knew that they came alone, they might be killed, but...

She pretended to be scared and said tremblingly: "We are here with dad and uncles to collect medicine."

"Collecting medicine..."

The man sneered, raised his foot and kicked the gold brick, and it happened to hit the boy's hand: "Little guy, don't blame uncle, blame it on you for being unlucky and trespassing into places you shouldn't."

Want... to kill her?

Qin Lu was shocked. She could no longer pretend, and spoke urgently with a sharp voice: "If you want to kill us, you will definitely report it to the police when our families come to find you! You won't be able to escape by then either!

"

This man must have something to do with the taxes Tieniu just mentioned. Now that I have no choice but to try, I can only try and see if I can scare him!

"Family, no one will come looking for you this late at night."

The skinny hand pinched her neck directly. Qin Lu's pupils shrank, and she suddenly looked outside the cave and widened her eyes: "Dad, Daddy!"

The man subconsciously looked back, and the strength in his hands loosened. Qin Lu took advantage of this moment to suddenly rush forward and bite his neck firmly.

No matter what happens, you can’t sit still and wait for death!

"Damn girl, how dare you lie to me!"

The soles of her feet suddenly left the ground, and her neck was strangled again. The picture in front of her eyes became increasingly blurry. When she was almost out of breath, a sound of a blunt object breaking through the air suddenly came, and the hand holding his neck suddenly

One loose——

Qin Tieniu held the gold brick in his hand, which was already stained with some blood. He was looking at her anxiously: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, are you okay? Who is this bad guy? Why does he bully you?"
