Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 245: Letting go

The moment the axe slipped out of his hand, Tao Qiuyi was knocked to the ground by the people behind him.

Bang, bang, two gunshots rang out, followed by a scream, and black smoke rose from the tree behind Tao Qiuyi. The black smoke quickly dissipated in the air, as if it had never appeared.

The birds chirped again.

"Qiuqiu, there's a masked man who's still alive. He was the one who fired the shot."

"That's too much. He actually pretended to be dead. He was faking his death."

"Liar, liar, playing dead, that's too much, humans are so cunning."

Feeling cheated, the bird angrily jumped around on the branch, cursing angrily.

Lying on the ground, looking at the weeds right before her eyes, Tao Qiuyi slowly came to her senses. She gritted her teeth and thought, fortunately Wei Jingyuan had tackled her to the ground in time.

Otherwise, she would have to die here today.

Wei Jingyuan saved her life. Tao Qiuyi called softly, "Wei Jingyuan."

Hearing her slightly trembling voice, Wei Jingyuan felt extremely distressed. He didn't know why, but he felt that Tao Qiuyi was very fragile at this moment.

"I'm here." He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, rolled over and sat on the ground, placing her on his lap. A deep voice whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The two words "I'm here" were like a warm current that flowed into Tao Qiuyi's heart and spread throughout his body.

"Thank you." Leaning against Wei Jingyuan's chest, Tao Qiuyi thanked him sincerely, "Wei Jingyuan, thank you."

Thank him for saving her life, thank him for giving her a shoulder to lean on when she needed one, and thank him for giving her warmth when she needed it.

"No need to thank me. I'm here and I won't let you get hurt." It had been so dangerous just now that Wei Jingyuan was still a little frightened. Holding her in his arms, he felt a little more at ease.

Although the two were talking, they were also listening to the noise over there.

Tao Qiuyi reached out and hugged Wei Jingyuan's waist, put her head on his chest, and listened to the strong heartbeat in his chest.

My thoughts go back to the past.

She first heard the sound of the trigger being pulled, and then she heard Wei Jingyuan's warning.

There was only a two or three seconds between Wei Jingyuan's warning and the bullet that shot towards her.

Seeing the bullet flying, she froze, her whole body frozen, the image of being shot dead before her time travel flashing through her mind. She swung the axe in the direction of the bullet, a completely subconscious action.

After two gunshots, she heard screams, apparently because the axe she swung hit the target.

Looking down at her lying obediently on his chest, Wei Jingyuan felt a surge of pity. She had just experienced a life-or-death moment, and he could understand her fear.

He was also afraid and he didn't dare to think about the days without her.

"Qiuqiu, are you okay?" Wei Jingyuan asked softly, his large hand gently caressing the back of her head, fearing she might be injured. He had been careless, trusting the bird's judgment.

Just as the bird said, humans are so cunning that they can easily deceive the eyes of birds.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Tao Qiuyi raised her head and looked at him.

"I'm fine too." Wei Jingyuan shook his head, patted her back gently, and motioned for her to stand up. Tao Qiuyi understood what he meant, put a hand on his shoulder, and used the force to bounce up and stand. She reached out to Wei Jingyuan, meaning to pull him up.

He placed his big hand on her small hand and held it tightly, using her strength to stand up. At this moment, an accident happened. Tao Qiuyi slipped and her body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Seeing her fall, Wei Jingyuan got anxious and put his arms around her waist and turned halfway. In the end, he was dragged by her and fell on her again, falling back to the original position.

He carried the herbs from the basket on his back and scattered them all over the two men. Wei Jingyuan put his hands on the ground and exerted a little force, then bounced up and stood up.

He bent down slightly and reached out his hand to Tao Qiuyi, wanting to pull her up like she had done before. But he saw her sitting on the ground, her hands scratching the herbs around her.

He knocked her down twice, and almost all the herbs in the basket fell out.

Wei Jingyuan put down the backpack and squatted down to help her pick up the herbs and put them back into the backpack. After making sure that all the herbs were back in the backpack, he reached out again.

Tao Qiuyi didn't act pretentiously. She put her hand in his palm and let him pull her up and stand.

Holding Tao Qiuyi's hand tightly, Wei Jingyuan lowered his eyes to look at her abnormally pale face. He apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I was careless."

"It's not your fault. We were both misled." Tao Qiuyi's face remained calm, but a surge of anger rose within her. Her cold gaze fixed ahead, and she swung her axe in the direction it pointed.

Just as Bird said, the person who shot her in the back had gone too far. Anyone who dared to shoot her in the back should be prepared to bear her wrath.

Gently breaking free from Wei Jingyuan's hand, Tao Qiuyi walked towards the open space in front.

Her cold gaze was like that of a wolf staring at its prey, ready to pounce and tear it apart at any moment. Wei Jingyuan was shocked. It was the first time he saw her with such a murderous aura.

Only then did he understand how foolish it was for Grandma and the others to provoke her, and how gentle and tolerant she was towards them.

Without time to think, Wei Jingyuan reached out and grabbed Tao Qiuyi's arm. He asked softly, "Qiuqiu, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't be careless again." Hiding the coldness in his eyes, Tao Qiuyi looked up and gave Wei Jingyuan a reassuring smile.

Pointing ahead, Tao Qiuyi said, "Just go over and check to see if there are any hidden dangers."

"You..." Wei Jingyuan wanted to say, "You stay here, I'll go over and check it out." But then he thought, Qiuqiu is not a flower grown in a greenhouse, she is a flower grown on the mountaintop who has experienced all kinds of hardships.

"It's time-consuming and laborious for you to go alone. I'll go with you." Wei Jingyuan changed his words in time, took back his hand from her arm, and warned her, "Be careful."

"Okay, you have to be careful too." While nodding in response, Tao Qiuyi did not forget to remind him.

They had lived under the same roof for quite some time, so how could she not have heard it? What he wanted to say before was not what he wanted to say later, but it was all words of concern for her, so how he said it was not important.

Tao Qiuyi's anger dissipated largely due to Wei Jingyuan's interruption. She walked ahead, her face darkening as her back turned to Wei Jingyuan, her cold eyes gleaming with a chill.

At this moment, only Tao Qiuyi herself knew that her inner heart was far less calm than her outward appearance. The gunshot that had caused her to travel here still left a psychological scar on her.

Or maybe it's because I haven't been doing my job for a long time and I've forgotten what it means to be vigilant.

She actually believed the bird's words so easily, completely forgetting the bird's intelligence.

If... if the masked man wasn't so impatient and waited for her and Wei Jingyuan to get close, then suddenly got up and shot them...

Tao Qiuyi shuddered at the thought. She hadn't dodged the close-range shot the first time and lost her life, and she wasn't sure she could dodge it the second time.

Even if she and Wei Jingyuan were lucky enough not to die, they would definitely be seriously injured.
