In the middle of the night, Xiao Huaijin woke up, but she still felt a little weak, there was an indescribable soreness all over her body, and her breathing was a little difficult.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Fang and Banxia sleeping not far away. There was a fire that had just been extinguished and was still smoking.
He moved his body with difficulty, turned around and looked outside the cave. It was already pitch dark, and except for the scattered lights in the distance, nothing could be seen outside.
The wind outside the cave was blowing loudly, and Xiao Huaijin felt a chill in his heart. He seemed to smell a hint of danger and struggled to get up.
This movement woke up Banxia. She was a maid in the palace and could not sleep too deeply at night. If her masters summoned her, she would be punished if she slept too hard.
So Banxia had developed the habit of sleeping lightly. Xiao Huaijin moved a little louder, which woke Banxia up all of a sudden. Banxia suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Huaijin.
Banxia was a little scared, Xiao Huaijin's eyes seemed to have murderous intent, Banxia shivered and backed away, trying to wake Jiang Fang up.
But at this time Xiao Huaijin said: "Please light this fire. There are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests in the middle of the night. If the fire goes out, they may come up and eat people."
Banxia was so frightened that she got up, and then took the lighter that Jiang Fang put aside to start a fire. Jiang Fang had taught her this. Well, she could light a fire in one go, which was much more convenient than flint and steel.
After Banxia raised the fire, added some firewood, and then retreated to Jiang Fang's side. This fourth prince was not polite at all when he was in the inn.
Xiao Huaijin looked at the small object in Ban Xia's hand and found it very strange. When she clicked it, it sparked into flames. How could there be such a magical thing? It seemed that she had never seen it before.
Could it be that the miserable place in the southwest where I was imprisoned has long been no longer as prosperous as the capital city, so I have never seen such a strange thing.
Xiao Huaijin wrapped herself in clothes and felt much better now than when she woke up. Her breathing gradually became smoother and her body no longer felt numb.
He tried to move his body, but just when he was about to stand up, Jiang Fang's voice came out suddenly: "I advise you not to stand up now. If you become disabled, I will not be responsible."
Xiao Huaijin didn't know when the woman woke up, but after Jiang Fang said this, he stopped moving and did not dare to stand up casually.
Jiang Fang moved his body and continued: "You'd better go to bed early, you will have to run for your life tomorrow."
Xiao Huaijin said nothing, his eyes reflected the light of the fire, and his whole body became alert. He was destined to be sleepless that night.
When I came here, I brought a team of twenty people, but I suffered a lot of losses all the way from the southwest. When I met Jiang Fang, there were only twelve people left in the team.
But yesterday when he was on the road, he suddenly felt angina pectoris. The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and then he fainted. When he woke up again, he was in this cave.
There was no one guarding the outside of the cave. In other words, only these three people were left in his team and Jiang Fang's team. So what happened when he fainted?
After dawn, Banxia woke up early and saw Xiao Huaijin sitting aside, as if he hadn't slept all night. Banxia took out some dry food from his bag and put it in front of Xiao Huaijin and said:
"Fourth Prince, there is no good food in this mountain and wilderness. There are only some coarse grains left. Please don't be disgusted by it and give it some food."
Xiao Huaijin did not refuse and started eating the dry food in Banxia's hand. Jiang Fang woke up at some point and stood up and stretched.
Banxia hurriedly handed the remaining better dry food to Jiang Fang, but Jiang Fang was used to eating without brushing his teeth and couldn't eat.
So he said: "You take it first, and I'll rinse my mouth first."
Banxia was a little confused. There seemed to be no water source in this cave, right? Thinking about it, Banxia became even more confused. When she ran away, she only had one baggage with her, and she didn't bring any water.
So where did the water Jiang Fang gave him yesterday come from?
Banxia was so frightened yesterday that she didn't think much about it, but she has calmed down today. It's really strange to think about it. Jiang Fang has always been with him. Where did he get the water?
At this time, Jiang Fang had returned, but after all, Jiang Fang was a princess, and she was just a slave, so she was not qualified to ask any more questions. Anyway, Banxia knew that Jiang Fang would not harm her.
Jiang Fang took a bite of the dry food, swallowed it with difficulty and said, "Aren't you curious about yourself living in a cave?"
Xiao Huaijin said: "Of course I am curious, but I believe that Sister Three Emperors will explain everything to me at the right time."
Jiang Fang glanced at Xiao Huaijin. It turns out that in this era, only country people behave like his actual age? This royal family is really more sophisticated than the last one.
"The boy next to you has a problem. He went to see me to treat you. Have you never doubted him?"
Xiao Huaijin's face darkened. Was she talking about Liu Yu? But he had saved her life, so how could she ever doubt him?
"Are you sure it's him?"
"Of course." Jiang Fang said confidently. "He still wants to kill me. Look at the look of disbelief on your face. He is very important to you?"
Xiao Huaijin lowered his head and refused to speak. Jiang Fang did not continue to ask, but just said: "Since you don't want to talk, forget it. I want to ask what happened to the bugs on your body. You should know.
I’m not interested in your affairs, but it’s just the first time I’ve seen this kind of thing. If you don’t understand it clearly, I can’t promise to eradicate it for you.”
Xiao Huaijin subconsciously touched the small wound on the back of his neck, and a trace of blush appeared on his face, which made Jiang Fang confused.
"That voodoo was given to me by my fiancée. It's called the heart-eating voodoo. It was originally a pair. After we became husband and wife, the voodoo will naturally disappear. As for why it suddenly attacked, I don't know."
Jiang Fang suddenly felt as if he had been injected with blood: "You must have betrayed your fiancée, right? Otherwise, isn't this thing said not to hurt people?"
Xiao Huaijin's emotions suddenly became excited: "How could I do such a stupid thing? Knowing that I have a bug on my body, I still act stupid? Moreover, I swore that I would not touch other women in this life."
