The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife - Chapter 61

61 You Are Lucky

Xie Heng pointed toward the west and said, “Around five miles in that direction is a cliff a few meters tall. If I’m not wrong, she’s there.”

Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng and felt that something was off, but she couldn’t exactly pinpoint what it was.

“You’re coming with me.” The lady decided to drag the man with her.

Xie Heng tried to dodge her grab but failed to do so.

“I can’t go. Junjun is still at home,” he said as he tapped the lady’s hand on his arm. “What if Zhao Xin comes back? What’ll happen to Junjun? Chuchu, I know you can save her alone. She’s someone valuable. If you rescue her, she might become useful to you in the future.”

!!
“Then, why can’t you save her?”

“Because I’m a guy, and I don’t want unwanted problems.”

Zhao Chuchu immediately reacted to that.

Although it was late at night, she could still clearly see Xie Heng’s face.

She admitted that although he was a little selfish, if he really went and saved that lady, she would fall in love with him immediately.

“Fine.”

Zhao Chuchu did not force Xie Heng to come with her after that.

In the end, he had already learned she wasn’t the real Zhao Chuchu.

Xie Heng watched as Zhao Chuchu disappeared into the night, wondering how she got the direction right without a fire torch.

After a while, he returned to the house.

He didn’t go to sleep right away. Instead, he took out a bow and three arrows from the back of the old wardrobe and sat on the bed. He gently wiped the arrows’ sharp tips as his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

At that time, Zhao Chuchu had already reached the cliff that Xie Heng had mentioned,

She looked down and noticed a person lying in the grass at the bottom of the cliff.

Zhao Chuchu immediately jumped down.

After the rest and the good food she had eaten in secret, her power had mostly recovered. Although she wasn’t at her peak form yet, and her ability was still restricted, she was still powerful.

She quickly arrived next to the lady lying in the grass.

The lady was covered in blood, and terrifying-looking wounds were all over her body. A blunt object even hit her head, and she looked like a dead person.

Zhao Chuchu quickly checked the lady’s pulse and realized she was still breathing. The problem was her breath was feeble.

She couldn’t help but respect the lady’s will to survive.

If Zhao Chuchu had not come, the lady would’ve died from losing too much blood.

“Consider yourself lucky that I’m here,” Zhao Chuchu whispered, using the healing power to extend the lady’s life.

After that, she quickly put the injured person on her back and carried her home.

When she reached the door, she immediately realized something was wrong.

She could only hear Xie Jun’s breathing while Xie Heng was nowhere to be found.

“Did he follow me?” Zhao Chuchu thought and frowned as she hated people who didn’t keep their word.

With a cold expression, she carried the lady back into her room. She shut the windows off and took the lady’s robe off.

A few wounds were still bleeding, so deep that the bones could be seen.

Zhao Chuchu quickly cleaned the wounds and started to close them. After applying all the needed medication and eventually saving the lady from dying, more than half an hour had passed.

She sat by the bed, completely exhausted. In the end, her body was still too weak.

After drinking several nutritional drinks, she finally recovered enough energy to clean the medical equipment. She took them to the kitchen to burn all of them.

Once everything was burned, she walked out of the kitchen and found Xie Heng, dressed in black, coming back with a bow hung over his shoulder. In his hands were two wild rabbits that were still alive.

“Did you go hunting in the mountain?” Zhao Chuchu was shocked.

“Yes.” The man nodded and walked past her into the kitchen.
