After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.

If the bear hadn't been so slow, she really would have knocked Jiang Che unconscious and hidden herself in her spatial dimension.

Just as she was about to give up, the sound behind her slowed down, and the bear's body could no longer hold on.

With a thud, its massive body crashed heavily to the ground.

Jiang Yun Ning breathed a sigh of relief. The grip on Jiang Che's arm suddenly gave way, and she fell backward, the two of them lying on the ground together.

Before the excitement of surviving the ordeal could even take hold, the two of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

It took a while before I regained some strength.

"It's a good thing it's dead." Jiang Yun Ning turned to look at Jiang Che and said deliberately, "Otherwise, if you had chased it any longer, I wouldn't have cared about you anymore."

She was worried that Jiang Che would blame himself.

As he spoke, he reached down to touch the water gourd on his back, opened the lid, and handed it to Jiang Che: "Drink quickly."

The spring water inside can save your life.

Jiang Che gulped down several mouthfuls of water, and only then did he regain some of his strength. However, the wound on his back was still bleeding, and the entire back of his shirt was soaked.

"Take it off." Jiang Yun Ning had already moved the basket over and rummaged through it to find the wound medicine.

At this moment, Jiang Che stopped being coy and took off his shirt, revealing his bloodied back.

The wound extends from the left shoulder to the right waist, with the upper wound being a few degrees deeper than the lower one.

"Bear with it. Let me clean it for you first." Jiang Yun Ning frowned, took the water gourd, and began to rinse the wound.

Jiang Che, with his eyes closed, couldn't help but shudder. Jiang Yun Ning pursed her lips, unusually refraining from making fun of him: "If it hurts, it's okay to scream. I won't laugh at you."

Jiang Che didn't say anything, but Jiang Yun Ning saw the bulging veins on his neck and heard his rapid breathing due to pain.

After cleaning the wound, there was nothing to bandage it with. She considered taking some cloth from her spatial storage, but feared Jiang Che would become suspicious.

Jiang Yun Ning looked at Jiang Che's blood-stained clothes with some difficulty, but fortunately, women in this era wore multiple layers of clothing.

Although her outer clothes were dirty, her inner garments were relatively clean.

Jiang Yun Ning pulled open her coat, and Jiang Che realized her intention. Just as he was about to speak, he heard her say, "Close your eyes. You don't want to watch me take off my clothes, do you?"

She did it on purpose, and Jiang Che knew it too. But he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

Jiang Yun Ning acted quickly, tearing off a large piece of fabric with a ripping sound.

Fortunately, her inner garment wasn't soiled; otherwise, she might have had to use a bellyband to bandage Jiang Che.

Thinking this, a wicked thought suddenly came to mind.

"Jiang Che, what if all my clothes get dirty and I can only wear a bellyband..."

Perhaps because she had narrowly escaped death, Jiang Yun Ning was much bolder now. She said such things without the slightest embarrassment. But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.

"Shut up." Jiang Che's already pale face turned red with anger.

He discovered that Jiang Yun Ning, this woman, always had the ability to drive people crazy.

Even when you've just been given a second chance at life.

Seeing that he still had the strength to argue with her, Jiang Yun Ning was completely relieved. After bandaging him up, she took the dagger and walked towards Hei Xiazi.

Although she was indeed afraid of blood, she couldn't very well let the injured Jiang Che dismember her body now, could she?

The bear skin was quite thick, so Jiang Yuning gritted his teeth and forcefully pushed it in, carefully removing the bear gallbladder. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found it wasn't broken.

In summer, bear meat is dry and tough, and the fat in its body has been used up during hibernation. Jiang Yun Ning didn't intend to take it, so he only cut off four bear paws and peeled off the bear skin.

He still covered the bloody side with mud and weeds, wrapped it in several layers of leaves, and threw it into the basket.

"Let's go." Jiang Che's back was injured, so only she could carry the basket. "The smell of blood here is too strong. Let's not attract any other wild beasts. Otherwise, we'll really end up sleeping here together."

Jiang Che stood up, and the two quickly walked back the way they came in.

After walking for several hours, it gradually got dark.

Jiang Che's body swayed slightly.

He stubbornly kept quiet, but Jiang Yun Ning, who was standing to the side, had already noticed.

"Take a rest," she said, helping him sit down.

Remove the basket from your back and prepare to start a fire.

"You get some sleep, I'll stay with you." Jiang Yun Ning didn't turn around, she was piling up firewood: "Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you."

Jiang Che's eyes widened slightly, his throat tightening at the simple words "Don't be afraid," and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He hummed in response, adjusted his posture to avoid the wound, and leaned against the tree trunk, closing his eyes.

Actually, it wouldn't matter if she abandoned him. After all, they were just a fake couple, and he was just a slave she bought.

Thinking this, I soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Yun Ning reached out to touch Jiang Che's forehead.

As expected, he developed a high fever.

"I'm doomed," she muttered to herself, taking a pot out of her spatial storage and placing it on the fire to boil water.

When the temperature was sufficient, she took out a cloth from her spatial storage, wet it, and repeatedly wiped Jiang Che's forehead and neck.

"Cold..." Jiang Che mumbled sleepily.

Seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, Jiang Yun Ning took out a blanket from her spatial storage and covered him with it.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, Jiang Che still didn't wake up, but he didn't feel as hot as he did at first.

She wanted to find some herbs to reduce the fever, but she was worried about leaving Jiang Che alone here.

Jiang Yun Ning sighed, blaming herself for forgetting to stock up on medicine when she went to stock up on other goods.

"Jiang Che?" She patted Jiang Che's face, but Jiang Che remained unresponsive with his eyes closed, as if he were unconscious.

Helpless, Jiang Yun Ning took Jiang Che's hand and led him into the space. He originally planned to leave the person inside while he continued on his way, and then release the person when it was almost time.

But as soon as she came out, Jiang Che followed her out.

I tried several more times, but the result was still the same.

"Damn it!" Jiang Yun Ning was so angry she wanted to hit someone.

So if you want to squeeze people in, you have to be inside yourself?

With no other option, Jiang Yuning could only start looking for vine-like plants, weaving them into a stretcher-sized frame, leaving a section of vine that could be dragged along.

Worried about rubbing against Jiang Che's back wound, they originally planned to use a blanket as a pad, but then worried that Jiang Che might suddenly wake up and they wouldn't have time to remove it.

"So annoying." Jiang Yun Ning was extremely irritated, her eyes narrowing as she looked at the leaves.

The blanket was placed at the bottom, and several thick layers of leaves were laid on top to cover it up before Jiang Che was half-dragged and half-pulled onto it.

"Damn it, if I had known you were this heavy, I wouldn't have fed you so much." She looked at the unconscious Jiang Che and started to hurry back, pulling on the vines.

When hungry, eat a few bites of food from the space; when thirsty, drink a few sips of spiritual spring water.

Worried that Jiang Che might become mentally impaired from the fever, she would also give Jiang Che a few sips of water whenever she drank.

But his lips were pursed too tightly. I finally managed to pry them open with my hands, but when I let go to support his head, they closed again.

"Fine, I'll let you die of thirst then." Jiang Yun Ning angrily slammed the water gourd down. But after a few seconds, she resigned herself to taking a swig, holding her head with one hand and prying open Jiang Che's mouth with the other.

When their lips touched, Jiang Yun Ning felt as if Jiang Che was about to die.

His lips were soft, but also cold. His hands were cold too, only his forehead was burning hot.

Jiang Yunning murmured fearfully, "Jiang Che, don't die! Hang in there, we'll be home soon. Even though you always have a sour face, you're still a good person. Don't die, you haven't even moved into our new house yet."

In a daze, Jiang Che felt as if he were floating, sometimes above and sometimes below.

He could hear Jiang Yun Ning angrily cursing, saying she would make him die of thirst.

But then, the warmth and softness from her lips soothed her parched throat.

His somewhat dazed mind instantly realized that Jiang Yun Ning was kissing him.
