The Family of Time Travel Has an Ugly Wife

If what Shan Yu said was true, then some things made perfect sense.

For example, why did he suddenly change his behavior, why did he suddenly study medicine, why did he suddenly become so knowledgeable, and why was he so interested in Lian Zhou, whom he had just met not long ago?

If his husband was really possessed…

Wan Qiu took out the separation document from the drawer of the dressing table, lightly touched the handwriting on it with his fingers, and sighed slightly.

According to his real husband’s usual temperament, even if they separated, it would definitely have been through a divorce document. How could he leave him money and write separation?

Now that he thought about it carefully, there were indeed many things that were unjustifiable and questionable.

Wan Qiu was in a daze while holding the separation document, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He didn’t know if the person possessing his husband’s body was a demon or a ghost? He didn’t know how old he was, where he lived, or if he had a wife. He even thought about how he himself already had children with other people before and wondered if Shan Yu would dislike him.

Thinking about how Shan Yu had always been reluctant to touch him…

Wan Qiu was thinking wildly. Seeing that the three-day period was approaching, he was still very hesitant. He paced back and forth in the room holding the little bun, unable to make up his mind.

Someone happened to come in to deliver the meal. Seeing Wan Qiu’s absent-minded look, they asked him, “We are leaving tonight, have you packed your things?”

Wan Qiu was stunned for a moment, then saw clearly that the person coming was actually Er Zhu, and hurriedly said, “There are people outside, how did you get in?”

Er Zhu put down the food box, made a ‘hush’ gesture to Wan Qiu, and whispered, “All the Dog Emperor’s people have gone to the Deadly Forest. There are only Yu Hua’s cousin outside. Yu Hua helped me sneak in.”

Wan Qiu glanced out the window worriedly, “It’s too dangerous for you to do this. If you are discovered…”

“Okay, don’t talk about this. Shan Yu will be waiting for you at the tunnel exit tonight. I will take the child out first. We will meet at the tunnel exit in the evening,” Er Zhu said and was about to come to hold the child, but Wan Qiu avoided him.

Wan Qiu was a little panicked and struggled in a low voice, “I… I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Er Zhu’s heart skipped a beat. No wonder Shan Yu told him repeatedly to make a trip, and after staying with Wan Qiu for so long, he still hadn’t convinced Wan Qiu?

“What’s there to think about? Shan Yu is a big and respectable boss in modern times. If you follow him, just wait and enjoy your happiness. What else are you thinking about?”

“But… I…” Wan Qiu looked at the little bun in his arms that looked exactly like his husband, bit his lip, and said, “I’m worried…”

“Ouch! Why are you so indecisive?” Er Zhu said anxiously, “Shan Yu will not tell the Dog Emperor Lian Zhou’s whereabouts. If he runs away, how can you survive? Do you want to stay here and be beheaded by the Dog Emperor? It doesn’t matter if you die, but what about the child?”

“I…”

“What do you mean, ‘I’! You and Shan Yu are just grasshoppers in the same boat! He asks you to go with him! Just follow him! Why bother talking so much! Or do you want to stay with a husband who only beats you and scolds you? What’s the benefit of being with such a bad man? Do you want to suffer the same things as before? Or have you had too many good times and now want to go back?”

Wan Qiu hurriedly shook his head. He was not a masochist. He understood with whom he would have a good life.

Only…

Er Zhu snatched the little bun away from Wan Qiu’s arms and put the little one into the food box.

The child, who was just over one year old, was not very big, and he was a premature baby. After taking off his shoes and clothes, he just fit inside.

The little bun was kicking with his bare butt in the food box. He chewed on his plump white fingers, looking at Er Zhu with dark eyes and smiling cheerfully at him.

Er Zhu kissed the little guy and coaxed, “Little ancestor, be good. If you are found out, we will all be in big trouble.” He was about to cover the food box when Wan Qiu stopped him.

“Wait a moment.”

“I’ll go! Haven’t you made up your mind yet?”

“No,” Wan Qiu said, placing a teething stick into the mouth of the little one who was chewing on his fingers. He touched the little guy’s head and added, “With this, he will be very well-behaved.”

.

The separation had always been a thorn in Wan Qiu’s heart, but now it had become his relief.

Before lighting the lanterns, Wan Qiu packed up all the belongings in the house and kept the books and papers close to him.

He sat on the edge of the bed, rearranged the pillows and quilts, and took one last look at the love nest where he had shared so many sweet memories. He felt a mix of fear about the upcoming escape and anticipation for seeing Shan Yu.

The night grew darker…

Wan Qiu quietly entered the tunnel and pulled down the gate. He saw Grandpa Yaba, who had been waiting in the tunnel for a long time, carrying big and small bags.

Wan Qiu scorned the old man inwardly for not being neat. He started throwing away all the unused things in Grandpa Yaba’s bags, leaving only a little dry food and water, and whispered, “Grandpa, we are running for our lives; we must pack lightly.”

Grandpa Yaba looked at his sterling silver medicine jar, unwilling to part with it.

Wan Qiu patted his baggage and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry, all the money from home is here. When we get there, I will ask my husband to buy you another one. This time, I will buy you a gold one.”

.

Shan Yu was injured and rushed all the way, arriving half an hour earlier than the agreed time.

Er Zhu opened the lapel of Shan Yu’s clothes, and he and Yu Hua both gasped at the sight.

No part of Shan Yu’s exposed skin was intact. When he unbuttoned his clothes, some of the fabric tore off with flesh attached. His chest bore three deep claw marks, which looked like the work of a wild beast.

Er Zhu was shocked: “Didn’t you have a medicine bag to avoid wild beasts? How did you still end up injured like this?”

“The emperor was too vigilant, and there were so many experts around him that I had no chance to strike… I had no choice but to put myself in danger, attracting wild beasts to attack and escaping the shadow guards… Only then did I have a chance to run back…”

Er Zhu quickly treated Shan Yu’s wounds, frowning as he said, “Thanks to the skills I learned from you over a few days, otherwise what would I have done?”

Shan Yu, pale-faced, looked outside the carriage.

“The child is here.” Yu Hua noticed Shan Yu’s thoughts and showed him the little bun sleeping obediently in his arms. “Wan Qiu will come.”

Shan Yu lowered his eyebrows, guessing that Er Zhu had taken the child to force Wan Qiu to come. He asked Er Zhu in a weak voice, “Was he unwilling to come?”

Er Zhu recalled Wan Qiu’s reaction at the time and hesitated. “He was a little hesitant…”

Shan Yu gritted his teeth, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his wound that was almost unbearable.

While teetering on the line between life and death, Shan Yu’s thoughts were filled with Wan Qiu. Despite the countless bumps and bruises along the way, he kept thinking about him.

Shan Yu’s belief that he would come back to pick up Wan Qiu overwhelmed his senses and pushed his body to its limits.

But now, knowing that Wan Qiu was not entirely willing to go with him, Shan Yu felt all the hidden pain crashing over him like a huge wave.

He lowered his eyes, trying to compose himself as he cleaned up his wounds and emotions, preparing to leave.

Er Zhu hurriedly grabbed Shan Yu’s arm. “Wan Qiu hasn’t come yet. What are you doing?”

Shan Yu glanced at the little bun in Yu Hua’s arms and shook his head. “Since he doesn’t want to leave with me, then forget it.”
