Chapter 1199: Maybe It's Best Not to Let Him Know

his expression remained his customary calm indifference."Even if it's poisonous, you wouldn't harm me."Fang Jinxiu was speechless, a sharp, aching pang in her heart."You fool, even as husband and wif...Chapter 1199: Maybe It's Better Not To Let Him Know

The earth tremor wasn't Fang Jinshiu's illusion, nor was it caused by any large animals nearby.

When she saw the sand beneath her feet sinking at a strange rate, she suddenly woke up and shouted to the two people behind her.

"Run back! It's quicksand, a large moving quicksand pit, run!"

If they fell into the hands of those three, their lives would be forfeit.

Despite Fang Jinshu's timely reminder, Asheng stumbled in his stride due to nervousness. Zhao Xingzhou turned around when he noticed that no one was beside him, only to find that half of Asheng's body was already being engulfed by quicksand.

"Rope! Zhao Xingzhou, hold onto the rope around your waist!" Fang Jinxiu shouted a reminder.

Luckily, she had tied all three of them together with a rope just moments ago. With the weight of the two people, Ah Sheng wouldn't be swallowed by the quicksand so easily and there was still a chance to be rescued.

But this time, Fang Jinshu also miscalculated.

Zhao Xingzhou strained to grab the rope, trying to pull Ah Sheng out of the quicksand. In an instant, the quicksand sank faster, and a tremendous force came from the other end of the rope.

That's a force no human could possibly withstand.

Zhao Xingzhou and Fang Jinshi didn't have time to react. The quicksand under Asheng gradually revealed itself, and the three of them felt a weightless sensation. Then, they were buried by a large amount of sand. Their mouths and noses were full of sand. If this went on, they would suffocate under the sand.

Fang Jinxiu grabbed the rope without hesitation, closed her eyes, and with a thought, she appeared in the space. But there was no one around, only the rope tied to her waist, the other end hanging suspended in mid-air.

She grabbed the rope and pulled with all her might, overjoyed to find that it moved. It seemed that space and time outside could be connected after all.

The other end of the rope, Ah Sheng had already fainted. Zhao Xingzhou was desperately resisting the quicksand, trying to pull Ah Sheng closer to Fang Jinxiu's side.

He also found that the rope around his waist seemed to be pulling him in the opposite direction. His first reaction was that Jinxiu was pulling him, so he quickly sped up and moved towards the direction of the rope's pull.

The immense pressure beneath the sand left Zhao Xingzhou nearly immobile. Every slight movement required an enormous amount of effort. What seemed like a short distance felt to him like he had been crawling for a century.

It's been so long, I feel like my lungs are about to burst.

Meanwhile, several young men outside had already run to a safer area farther away. Though their faces were filled with terror, there was no surprise in their eyes, as if they knew the quicksand would appear.

"Ah Sheng, those few people have already been swallowed by the quicksand. Let's go back and report to the village chief."

"Come, three days later to collect their corpses."

A few people walked and laughed together.

"I thought these three were really amazing. The village chief kept warning us to be careful."

"Isn't this as stupid as those previous passersby"

These people had no luggage, and it was unknown how they had crossed the desert.

The young man who had spoken earlier let out a snort of laughter. "Brother Ashen, do you really believe that"

"Such a vast desert, and they don't even have a decent pack. How could they have crossed from the Da Xi border"

“I think they’re probably a pair of wild lovers from a wealthy family who ran away together. The taller one probably looks like their bodyguard.”

These people must have money. Even if they're broke, their clothes are worth a fortune.

When the young people and others returned to the village, Village Head Lu saw their safe return and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Did you make it"

Ashen nodded.

"Done, they were sucked in as soon as they stepped into the quicksand."

"Village head, you promised me this was the last time."

"We'll save up enough money to redeem Gouwa and the others, then we'll move somewhere new with everyone and start a new life. Let's just stop doing this kind of harmful stuff, okay"

Village head Lü's eyes flickered slightly, avoiding Ah Sheng's gaze as if he didn't dare to meet his eyes.

He spoke gravely, “I don’t yet know if those people have any silver. What if they don’t If we don't raise enough money, we won't be able to take the children.”

Their hands were already stained with blood, where was there any chance to start again.

Once the village kids are redeemed, A-sheng can take them away.

Fang Jinshi and the other two, trapped beneath the sand, finally reunited within the space.

Zhao Xingzhou almost fainted, and A Sheng was left with only half a breath.

If Fang Jinshu's space hadn't had enough good stuff to pull them back, they would have been dead either way.

"Awake You alright"

Seeing Zhao Xingzhou open his eyes, Fang Jinxiu let out a sigh of relief.

"Where is this"

Zhao Xingzhou's first reaction upon waking was to look around, but the more he made out the surroundings, the more unbelievable his expression became.

Fang Jinshu's face was grim. What had to come, would come. She just didn't know if they'd be shocked after she explained everything.

"This is my space."

When Fang Jinshi finished explaining, Zhao Xingzhou's face went through a cycle of surprise and furrowed brows. However, throughout it all, he never indicated that he thought Fang Jinshi was lying.

This was far beyond his capacity as an ordinary person to comprehend.

"So before this, in the desert, the food and water and clothes you pulled out of thin air were all put there in advance"

Fang Jinshu nodded.

With her doubts resolved, Zhao Xingzhou accepted it faster than she had imagined.

"This is indeed a very dangerous secret. Please don't tell anyone else about it lightly in the future."

Fang Jinshi thought to herself that this wasn't even for saving your lives, otherwise she wouldn't have said it even if she was killed.

Zhao Xingzhou glanced at Ah Sheng, who was still unconscious, and asked.

"Did he know"

Fang Jinshu shook her head. "About my secret, besides the Zong family and you, no one else knows."

Hearing this, Zhao Xingzhou was taken aback. He knew he shouldn't have any delusions; Fang Jinxiu would never have any results with him in this lifetime.

But that sentence, aside from the Zong family and you, still made Zhao Xingzhou unable to suppress the joy in his heart. However, he didn't dare let Fang Jinshu see anything, so he forcefully held back the barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

"He's the prince of Xi Xia, and will one day be king. Your secret is too shocking and tempting; it's best he never knows."

As soon as Zhao Xingzhou's voice fell, A Sheng suddenly let out a whimper on the ground, as if waking up. Zhao Xingzhou did not hesitate to raise his hand and slash at the back of his neck again, knocking him unconscious once more.

Fang Jinshui didn't stop him, she just tugged at the corner of her mouth, a little helplessly.

They had only just entered the territory of Xixia when they encountered so many dangers. At this rate, would Ah Sheng's small frame be able to endure the hardships and survive until they reached the capital of Xixia

Out of kindness, considering his blood relation to Zong Yu, Fang Jinxiu gave him some essence of spiritual springs.

A single drop of essence is equal to a full pool of spring water. She has always used her essence sparingly, and this drop given to Ah Sheng means that the spring will not produce any more water for the rest of the day.yes flickered."You have committed a capital crime.
