"What are you thinking about?" Pei Yanchao asked her in a low voice. Only then did she come to her senses. The current situation they were in simply didn't allow her to let her mind wander...
She quickly reached out to feel around his waist. As she groped, Jiang Sihe noticed that Pei Yanchao had thin muscles and a slender waist. His bones and flesh were well - proportioned, thin but not emaciated...
Moreover, his waist and abdomen were firm. He looked thin, but unexpectedly, he had quite a bit of strength, and his waist also felt good to the touch...
Being touched back and forth by Jiang Sihe's hands, Pei Yanchao couldn't help but feel a bit impatient. His eyes darkened slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down with a swallowing motion. He reminded her in a hoarse voice.
"Sihe, the buckle of the belt is in the front. You're touching the back..."
"O-oh..." Jiang Sihe blushed and quickly felt for the buckle in the front.
However, she had never served a man to undress before, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't untie his waistband...
In a hurry, her body moved down a bit more. In doing so, it was as if her head was buried in Pei Yanchao's abdomen...
Seeing this, Pei Yanchao quickly wanted to pull back, but was grabbed by Jiang Sihe. "Stop moving. I can't see clearly how to untie it."
After saying that, she lowered her head even more. Her warm breath made Pei Yanchao have a reaction below his abdomen.
He quickly gently nudged Jiang Sihe's shoulder with his own. "How about you... help me hold my arm, and I'll do it myself..."
Jiang Sihe was quite unconvinced and shook her head. "I can't even untie a waistband. Hold your own arm steady. Don't be in a hurry!"
He wasn't in a hurry, but the current posture of the two of them was a bit too... too ambiguous.
She was just a young girl and didn't understand these things. Didn't he know his own reaction at this moment?
He shouldn't have had such thoughts about her.
"Let me... do it!"
"Okay, I've untied it..."
Jiang Sihe untied the waistband with a beaming face and pulled the belt out from his waist.
Seeing that she had raised her head, Pei Yanchao couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. If she had gotten any closer, it would have been hard to guarantee that she wouldn't notice the reaction below his body.
He moved his body slightly and used his robe to cover his lower body. Jiang Sihe didn't notice any of this at all. She wrapped the belt around Pei Yanchao's arm.
"I'll hang it around your neck so that your arm can be fixed..."
Pei Yanchao nodded.
Jiang Sihe knelt in front of him and leaned forward slightly, winding the belt that had tied his arm around his neck.
She was wearing a light - yellow camisole inside. Due to leaning forward, that bit of light yellow on her chest was approaching Pei Yanchao's face.
When she leaned forward to wind the belt, the tip of his nose gently touched the soft light - yellow area. His slightly warm breath swept over, and his body stiffened slightly. At this moment, if he turned his head to move away, he would probably brush against that area...
He closed his eyes slightly and secretly suppressed the restlessness welling up in his heart...
"Okay..."
Just when Pei Yanchao was closing his eyes and immersed in the torture, Jiang Sihe finally finished and moved her body away.
"My technique is comparable to that of a doctor..."
Pei Yanchao opened his eyes and saw the young girl in front of him beaming with joy and looking very self - satisfied. He couldn't help but reflect...
She was still so young and didn't understand anything. She had just unconsciously gotten close to him, yet he had had the most sordid thoughts of a man about her...
"Jiang Sihe, no matter what the situation is in the future, don't get too close to men..."
Jiang Sihe was inexplicably scolded by Pei Yanchao. The smile on her face hadn't faded yet, and she couldn't help but frown. "Lord Pei, what do you mean?"
"You got too close just now. If it had been another man, the consequences would have been unimaginable..."
Jiang Sihe understood this time. He was scolding her for getting too close to him?
"I was just helping you fix your arm. It's not like I wanted to get close to you on purpose..."
Pei Yanchao knew that she didn't realize the seriousness of what had just happened at all and wanted to scold her again.
"Lord Pei, look! The hole above has closed. How are we going to get out?"
This interrupted Pei Yanchao's words. He looked up and found that there seemed to be a plank when they had fallen. Now the plank above had closed.
He looked around.
This hole was about three or four meters deep. It was simply impossible for the two of them to climb out. Apparently, the person who built this cave wanted to trap people here and let them slowly wait for death, making them taste the powerlessness and anxiety of being close to death. This was the purpose of the other person's setting up this mechanism...
"Don't look anymore. I've already checked. There are no other exits here. The surroundings are all mountain walls... Only there did I notice some wind sounds..."
Jiang Sihe sensed his thoughts and told him what she had noticed earlier.
When she was in the other courtyard, she often went up the mountain and had studied the structure of such caves a lot.
Maybe the person who built this cave at that time deliberately left a glimmer of hope here. If there was no airflow in this cave, they would be suffocated to death within half a day...
Now it seemed that the person who set the trap wanted the people trapped here to die slowly rather than die immediately.
"I wonder if anyone will find out that we've fallen here... And I clearly saw Princess Yuemi insert a hairpin, and the door opened. Why did we fall into this pit instead..."
Jiang Sihe sat on the hay and looked up.
"I left marks along the way. After Yan An and the others finish their business and can't find us, they will come looking...
When I inserted the hairpin, I noticed something was wrong. There were two keyholes. The one I inserted at that time might have been the one to activate the mechanism..."
After Pei Yanchao finished speaking, he looked up. Now he wasn't really sure if Yan An could discover this mechanism.
"What should we do? I suddenly feel a bit hungry. I should have eaten more during breakfast today..."
Jiang Sihe stood up, leaned against the mountain wall, and frowned, sighing.
Pei Yanchao felt around in his chest with his intact hand and took out something wrapped in oil paper.
He handed it to Jiang Sihe. "I bought a crispy pastry on the way here..."
Jiang Sihe's eyes lit up, but she quickly withdrew her hand.
"We don't know how long we'll be trapped here. There's only one crispy pastry. Let's not eat it for now. Save it for the last moment!"
Pei Yanchao used his other hand to cooperate and opened the paper of the crispy pastry. He broke off a small piece and handed it to her.
"Then this small piece will be today's rations..."
Seeing that he still had the mood to joke at this time, Jiang Sihe smiled and took the small piece.
"Then thank you, Lord Pei, for the relief rations..."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Being trapped here didn't seem as scary and anxious as before...
"Lord Pei, why did you think of buying a crispy pastry?"
Actually, Pei Yanchao had noticed that Jiang Sihe hadn't eaten much during breakfast. When he came, he saw someone selling crispy pastries by the roadside and thought of bringing one for her. He didn't expect it to become life - saving rations.
"I was once trapped in a mine when I went to Huaizhou to investigate a case. There was an old man there who always carried rations with him. I was just following his example..."
He didn't tell the truth. He covered it up with the experience of an old man he had met before.
