He took out the black mask from his pocket, but the floral fragrance was too strong, and he inhaled a lot in just a moment.
Zhong Yuxi asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
He shook his head, but his expression was not relaxed.
Pollen and animal hair are taboos for his disease. If you are unlucky, you may get sick with just a little bit of pollen, and you will be surrounded by a whole sea of flowers.
"Madman, let's go another way." Zhong Yuxi was really worried about him.
"There are mountains on both sides, so we can only go through here." He touched her wrinkled face and said with a smile.
The mountain roads on both sides were steep. Even if she could climb over it with her current physical condition, it would be very dangerous for the baby. He did not dare to take the risk.
"Then let's go back the way we came."
"If you go back now, you will only throw yourself into a trap." He tightened his mask tightly and took her hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, Xiaojue's medicine is very useful and everything will be fine."
"Then stop talking."
Zhong Yuxi spontaneously explored the path ahead and pushed aside the large flowers for him.
Although the flowers were beautiful, neither of them was in the mood to appreciate them.
After walking through the sea of flowers for an hour, a small stream appeared in front of me, with crystal clear water.
The two squatted down, washed their faces and filled the water bottles. When they raised their heads, the sun was already setting in the west.
Zhong Yuxi had been observing his reaction nervously, and was relieved a little when she saw that he seemed to be fine.
"Crazy man, look." Zhong Yuxi seemed to have discovered a new world. She ran a few steps and saw a snow-white thing squirming in the grass in front of her. When she got closer, she realized it was an injured rabbit.
"It's injured." Zhong Yuxi picked up the rabbit and saw blood on its feet, which must have been broken.
She felt distressed and took out a handkerchief from her body and carefully bandaged it.
Xiaofeng stood behind and looked at the mountain in front of him, then at the direction of the river, "There should be a cave up there, let's climb up."
Zhong Yuxi carefully put the rabbit back, made its nest stronger and more hidden, and then returned to Xiaofeng.
"Is this a hare?" I asked while walking in the wind.
Zhong Yuxi rolled her eyes, could there be domesticated rabbits in these barren mountains?
"I've only seen it at the hunting ground." He turned around and took Zhong Yuxi's hand and led her up a high slope: "I like hunting very much, but when I was a child, I could only stand outside and watch a few brothers playing inside.
It's a pleasure, because Your Majesty is afraid that I will suck their hair into my stomach. I can't go into hunting grounds until I grow up, but the time I stay there is very short each time."
"I hate hunting." Zhong Yuxi curled her lips, leaned into his arms, and let him send her to the rock above: "I don't like killing."
"This is survival, survival of the fittest. Only by becoming stronger can we escape the fate of being slaughtered. The same is true for human beings."
The night breeze opened up a large patch of grass, and sure enough there was a cave hanging halfway up the mountain. The entrance to the cave was covered with grass, which hid it well.
"How did you find out?" Zhong Yuxi was very surprised.
"Experience, generally there will be caves formed in such terrain. Go ahead and have a look."
The cave is not big, about the size of an ordinary bedroom. The ceiling is very high, and some light comes in bits and pieces from the gaps.
Xiaofeng came back from a trip with some hay in his hand. He spread it on the ground in the corner of the cave and picked up some dry firewood. These are all essential things for survival in the wild.
"You're tired, come here and have a rest."
Zhong Yuxi walked over happily and leaned into his arms. The hay was very warm by the sunshine all day long, and sitting on it was as comfortable as a blanket.
"Madman, how long are we going to stay here?"
"It won't be long." He took out his phone, and Zhong Yuxi looked over. It was strange for a mobile phone to have a signal in an area like this, but the signal on his phone was full.
"This is a satellite phone. It will have a signal no matter where it is." He dialed a number skillfully, and this number suddenly felt very familiar to Zhong Yuxi.
But she suppressed the doubts in her heart and held her breath, not daring to disturb him.
When the call was connected, he lowered his voice and said: "I don't know how many people are on the other side now, but I'm sure they are all ninjas."
"Well, walk west from that tribe, then climb over two mountains, probably in the direction of three o'clock..."
He skillfully described his geographical location. Zhong Yuxi was confused. Fortunately, he had a professional compass.
After putting down the phone, she realized that he was calling for help.
"It's Xiao Jue." Xiao Feng said calmly.
Hearing this name, Zhong Yuxi trembled all over and moved deeper into his arms.
"As long as we are not found before noon tomorrow, the people from Xiaojue will come to rescue us." The firm look in his eyes made Zhong Yuxi feel at ease. She suddenly thought of the problem just now. The phone number he dialed followed him.
The number I told her the first time I went to Sakura Country was only missing the last digit.
"Madman, what exactly is this number?" Zhong Yuxi pointed to the phone in his hand.
He handed the phone into her hand: "This is a satellite phone, specially designed for the seven princes. Only the last digit of each of our phone numbers is different."
"Then what was the one you told me last time?" Zhong Yuxi vaguely understood.
"Well, it belongs to Xuanyuan Ye."
Zhong Yuxi held the phone, and her heart felt warm. It turned out that that time, he had not forgotten her. He had been protecting her in his own way. If it hadn't been for the life-saving phone number that called Xuanyuan Ye
, she has been strangled to death by that madman.
However, he never said or explained that he had his own principles.
"Madman, I'm sorry, I should have believed in you more." Zhong Yuxi was happy but also felt a little guilty. She was disappointed at the time and blamed him in her heart.
"I failed to protect you and made you suffer so much, but you are still apologizing to me." A complex light flashed in his eyes, as if they were tiny pieces of light scattered from the ceiling of the cave.
"Madman, you have done enough for me. Stop paying silently like this. You will make me feel guilty. I am willing to share the burden with you. I also want to protect you." She took the initiative to kiss the corner of his lips.
Just as Xiaofeng was about to turn his back on the guests, Zhong Yuxi's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
After walking for a day, they barely ate a grain of rice. Only when their nerves relaxed did they feel hungry.
"You wait here, I'll go find something to eat." Xiaofeng stood up.
"I'll go with you." It was getting dark soon, and it was too dangerous for him to be alone. Besides, he smelled so much pollen today, and she had been worried about whether he would have an asthma attack.
"You can't help if you go." He put the lighter in her hand: "Light this pile of wood, cover it with stones, and try to get as close to the inside of the cave as possible so that it can't be seen from the outside."
