Chapter 1113: 1113 No foothold on the cold pool cliff2 Chapter 1113: 1113 No foothold on the cold pool cliff2 Tears welled up in her eyes.

She said with a deep sigh, “Why must you die with me?

Now we are both freezing to death.

You could have lived well, missing me a few more times.

Even if I became a ghost, I wouldn’t scare you.”

In her ears echoed the words he had once spoken when, jokingly, she asked him to burn incense at her grave, but he had said:

“I’m used to sleeping with you in my arms, used to your fragrance, used to being with you every day.

If you really died, I’d die with you.

I’d want us to be buried in the same grave, so you wouldn’t be lonely in the coffin.

We’d have to make the coffin a bit larger, to fit two people, more spacious and comfortable to lie in…”

Since she had accepted him, she had never doubted his sincerity.

Thinking now of how he had spoken of sharing the same grave with her, of living and dying together, and him truly accompanying her, a deep, sour pain welled up in her heart.

She took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket, inside was the best healing medicine she had concocted because entering the deep mountains often came with dangers, she always carried wound medicine with her.

Removing the bottle stopper, a bottle of pills inside was still dry.

She had long thought about waterproofing, so she had wrapped a thin layer of sheep’s bladder around the stopper to prevent water from getting in.

She tipped out two pills, pried open his mouth, and placed the pills inside.

In his deep sleep, he wouldn’t swallow on his own, and without water, the pills wouldn’t go down.

Originally, she could have slid down to fetch water from a pool one meter below them, but it was too cold, and she felt a bit stiff from the freezing, preferring to conserve some strength.

Until her last breath, her will to survive was extremely strong.

In a desperate situation, since both their clothes were wet, she wrung out her sleeve and dripped some water into his mouth.

Water soaked from their clothes was dirty, but it was better than choking on the dry pills.

Besides, the pool water had soaked both of them, not exactly clean either.

She rubbed his throat with her hand, helping him swallow the medicine.

After that, his eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes opened in a daze, as if waking from a dream, “Wife…”

He was mumbling as if in a dream.

“Third brother, you’re awake,” she cried tears of joy, tears swirling in her eyes.

“Wife, is that you?” he murmured with joy in his voice, “Wife, were you waiting for me on the netherworld road?

I was afraid you’d walk too quickly, and I wouldn’t be able to catch your hand…”

The tears she had been holding back finally fell, “Fool, you’re not dead yet.”

“Then you…” his consciousness became clearer.

“I’m not dead either.”

“Really?”

“Really.

Neither of us is dead.

There’s a deep pool below the cliff, and we both fell into it.”

A look of surprise passed over his eyes, then excitement filled them, and before any other emotion could arise, his whole body was shivering from the cold, his teeth chattering.

He struggled to sit up but realized he was tied up.

“Don’t move,” she said, “you have serious injuries, and I was afraid you’d fall into the pool in your sleep, so I tied you up.”

“Oh,” he responded obediently, not blaming her for tying him, “I never thought we could both survive falling from such a height.”

“Maybe our time was not yet up.”

He looked at her skin, purple from the cold, her wet clothes clinging to her body, and he himself was also drenched.

The cold wind blew, and they both trembled uncontrollably.

It’s getting dark.

She untied the waist belt that was binding him and helped him sit up, “Be careful not to fall into the pool.”

He looked around to assess their surroundings…
