Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 367

Ye Xi shook her head frantically.

Wei Jue smiled and said, "In that case, just tie it up. It's more important to prevent it from moving any further."

After hearing this, Ye Xi used a branch to measure the length of his calf. In the end, she blamed Wei Jue for not explaining it clearly. She went back and selected a few more branches and tied them up to him as he said.

Wei Jue asked Ye Xi to tie it tighter, and Ye Xi did so.

After finishing her work, Ye Xi was finally able to sit down and rest like him.

She gasped in pain when her back hit the wall.

Wei Jue had already noticed that the clothes on her back were torn, and guessed that her back was also injured.

But he didn't see any bleeding, so it should be fine. He didn't want to care about it at first, but thinking about how much pain she was in, he was worried that there was something wrong, so he said, "Is your back injured? Come here and let me take a look."

Ye Xi was not very willing to hear this. Wouldn't this mean she would have to take off her upper body in front of him?

What if an assassin comes? Should she run with clothes on or naked?

She shook her head. Wei Jue, who had no bad intentions, was amused by her shyness and wanted to tease her:

"Why, I'm already in this state, what can I do to you? Quickly undress and let me see how serious your wound is."

Ye Xi hesitated for a moment. She couldn't see it herself, but she felt the pain. She was worried that if she got injured and didn't know about it, wouldn't it be her own fault if she delayed treatment?

Anyway, the two of them... have done this more than once or twice, so her own life is more important, so she gritted her teeth and started to take off her clothes.

Seeing how efficient she was, Wei Jue raised an eyebrow. He thought he would have to talk more, but he didn't expect that she would figure it out on her own.

Ye Xi turned her back to him and exposed her entire beautiful back, with almost no coverage except for the thin line of her bellyband.

Wei Jue took a look at her back in the firelight. There was no bleeding, only small scratches.

Some of the skin was broken and a few drops of blood appeared, but they must have been stained by her clothes, so not much blood was left.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Wei Jue told Ye Xi that he wanted to laugh when he saw Ye Xi hurriedly wrapping her clothes tightly after hearing what he said.

If they hadn't been injured and being hunted, the two of them, with their disheveled appearance, would have looked like a pair of wild mandarin ducks.

Some discordant images began to appear in his mind, but he quickly stopped the thought.

It's enough to learn this lesson once. If it happens a second time, you'll be courting death.

He needed to rest now, but he needed someone to be on guard, so he said, "Xi Niang, we need to keep watch separately. I'll take a nap first, and you keep watch first. If you find anything unusual, wake me up."

Ye Xi understood and nodded.

Wei Jue quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep. This was the most tiring day for him. First he rode a horse, then he fought, and finally he broke his leg.

Although his wound was temporarily "cured", if he had a fever, it meant that the wound was still infected.

He felt that the assassin would most likely catch up with him in the second half of the night, so he rested first to ensure that he had enough energy to deal with the situation in the second half of the night.

Ye Xi looked at Wei Jue who had fallen asleep, and suddenly an inexplicable thought popped up in her mind.

If he died here, wouldn't she be free?

No one will bother her anymore in the future, and she can... She has already begun to imagine the happy life after he is gone.

He should be at his weakest right now, so even she should be able to succeed easily.

She stared at the dagger beside him. If... No, no, she shook her head. How could she have such a vicious thought!
