Chapter 461 Taking Care of Me
She looked at the crudely made ointment placed in the corner of the room. Jiang Mubai felt that it must have been made by the strange man himself, otherwise there would be no third living person living here except the two of them in this remote place.
"He has pretty deft hands. Even though he doesn't look that great, his smell repels mosquitoes and calms the nerves. His cooking tastes pretty good too. It's a shame he knows so many things. If he weren't my enemy, I'd really like to introduce him to Wu You and Man Man."
All of these assumptions are based on the premise that the strange man is a good person, but looking at the current situation, it is obvious that he is not.
Even if he didn't do anything to Jiang Mubai, in her opinion, keeping her under guard here was the same as those men in black who broke into her house at night. These were all bad, so Jiang Mubai would not be blinded by what was in front of her and forget that this strange man was her enemy.
It was already very late at night. Jiang Mubai didn't feel like sleeping after having eaten and drunk her fill. However, she had been drugged and unconscious for many hours, and had slept for almost the entire day. So if she was asked to sleep now, Jiang Mubai would not be able to fall asleep no matter what.
Since he couldn't sleep, Jiang Mubai simply lay on the bed and closed his eyes to think. "I don't know what's going on with Yunchuan and the others. I'm missing here, and I haven't investigated Wu You's situation clearly. The three of them must be worried sick at home, right? Oh! This is really a bad year. Is it because I'm in conflict with Tai Sui this year? If I have a chance to go out, I must find an expert to help me solve it."
Jiang Mubai opened his eyes again when he thought of this. "These things are enough to kill me. If things continue like this, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to save my life."
It was a rare occasion for Jiang Mubai to be alone, so he was not worried about his own situation but about Cheng Yunchuan who was still at home.
"Yunchuan must be very upset after something like this happened. If it were me, I would be very worried. If Manman and Brother Qi are with him, I hope they can give him some advice. Don't let the three of them worry about me. It would be bad if they worry about me and ruin their health."
Jiang Mubai thought of Cheng Yunchuan's mother. She went to the cemetery with Cheng Yunchuan to pay homage to him when they got married last time. She also changed her words in front of Cheng's mother's tombstone, so now she calls Cheng's mother "Mom". She hopes that her spirit in heaven can bless Cheng Yunchuan and Manman and ensure that everything goes smoothly at home.
Jiang Mubai was not worried about her own affairs at first, but when she thought that she might be locked up here for a long time, she started to feel anxious.
It's not like she hasn't seen the criminal cases reported on TV. There are many cases where some people have been imprisoned in a certain place for more than ten years without being discovered. Jiang Mubai really doesn't want to be like what is said on TV.
Although she knew that these people were coming for her and Cheng Yunchuan, they had no idea what they were going to do specifically. It would be too troublesome to imprison her, and they would have to spend money to hire someone to look after her and provide her with food and drink. It was simply not cost-effective.
Jiang Mubai thought that this matter was outrageous, but at the same time she was thinking that what if the other party just wanted to torture her and not let her meet Cheng Yunchuan to drive her crazy? Although it was unreliable, it was not impossible.
Her imagination as a mystery writer simply exploded at this moment. She really didn't want her situation to be as she imagined in her mind. That would be too miserable.
If this continued, Jiang Mubai was worried that she would develop paranoia, so she didn't dare to think of such wild ideas anymore.
After thinking about it, she felt a little tired. Although she was still worried about Cheng Yunchuan and the others, Jiang Mubai couldn't control her sleepiness. Soon, her regular breathing could be heard in the wooden house.
When Jiang Mubai woke up, it was already bright outside. Although it was midsummer, the temperature in the mountains was very suitable and the heat of midsummer was not felt at all. Jiang Mubai thought that if these things had not happened, it would be a very good choice for her and Cheng Yunchuan to find a place like this to escape the heat and take care of the baby.
The strange man has come to find Jiang Mubai with the things. Jiang Mubai can get up and move around today. She is almost well now. In addition, she lay in bed all day yesterday. Jiang Mubai thought that she had to get out of bed and move around to relieve her sore body today.
The strange man brought a prepared breakfast to Jiang Mubai. Jiang Mubai saw that he didn't sit down with them, so he asked curiously, "Aren't you going to eat with me? I can't finish all this by myself."
The only thing that answered Jiang Mubai was the air. Jiang Mubai didn't believe that the strange man could endure not speaking to her for so long, so she decided to keep trying to get him to speak.
"Do you have a house nearby? I heard you washing dishes when I left yesterday."
The strange man was annoyed by Jiang Mubai's questions, so he walked out of Jiang Mubai's room, but this time he didn't lock Jiang Mubai in the room. Jiang Mubai guessed that the strange man might have seen that she was pregnant and knew it was not good to keep her in the room for a long time, so he didn't lock the door.
Jiang Mubai hurriedly chased after him, and sure enough, not far from the wooden house where she lived, there was a small house that was very similar to the wooden house. Jiang Mubai guessed that was where the strange man slept and rested at night.
There were some vegetables planted between the two wooden houses. Jiang Mubai knew that this was also the work of a strange man. Jiang Mubai guessed that the lettuce he ate this morning might have been pulled out of the ground by the man.
The strange man was standing in the yard facing the door of Jiang Mubai's wooden house. Perhaps he was afraid that Jiang Mubai would escape from here, so the man did not dare to stay far away from Jiang Mubai.
After breakfast, Jiang Mubai didn't want to go back to the room and continue lying down, so she went to sit on the wooden steps in front of the wooden house.
After seeing her finish eating, the strange man immediately went into the house to clean up the dishes. Jiang Mubai looked at the man's working back and her doubts deepened.
The familiarity with this person in Jiang Mubai's heart did not decrease but increased instead. Jiang Mubai kept wanting to ask him questions but the man could not help but hold back and not say a word to her.
Jiang Mubai thought about running away, but she had just arrived and had not yet figured out the situation. Besides, that person was not a danger to her, so Jiang Mubai thought about waiting until she was familiar with the place before slowly planning to leave.
Of course, the strange man didn't know that Jiang Mubai was planning to leave. He cooked for Jiang Mubai, washed dishes and took care of her daily life without any complaints.
Seeing Jiang Mubai being so obedient, he thought she had accepted her fate, but he didn't know that Jiang Mubai just didn't understand the current situation and was just biding her time.
Jiang Mubai lived in the mountains with this strange man for three days. During this time, the man did not open his mouth to answer Jiang Mubai's questions.
