"Go back and teach you." Zhao Zhen threw the rope to Wu Zao and led her forward.
Li Can looked around. This place was at the foot of the mountain, with the wind at his back. Although it was autumn, it was still a bit hot while walking.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, Zhao Zhen stopped and pointed to her: "There is a lake ahead and a cave here. I have ordered people to take care of it."
Li Can followed him up to the cave. From a high place, he could indeed see a lake. The clear water of the lake reflected the green mountains. The scenery was extremely beautiful.
"Brother Zeyu, shall we just wait here for Fengqing and the others to arrive?" She turned around and asked.
The cave is not deep, it is dry everywhere, and the ground is covered with hay.
"You guys are here, I'll go back and check the situation in the mine." Zhao Xing frowned: "Why didn't Tangqiu follow?"
Wu Zao was busy laying a mat on the hay. Hearing this, he was stunned and said: "Tang Qiu may be in love with war..."
Forgot to follow?
"Neglect of duty, go back and replace her." Zhao Zhen ordered in a cold voice.
I didn't dare to say anything in Wu Lao's atmosphere, so I responded hurriedly.
"No, brother Zeyu." Li Can held his hand: "Tangqiu is pretty good. Besides, there's no danger if I follow you."
"Too aggressive and not doing his job properly." Zhao Ji frowned and refused to give in.
"Don't change." Li Can hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "If you change someone else, it will take me a long time to get to know him.
I'll tell her later that she just needs a meal and she'll be fine."
Tang Qiu was really good and loyal, and she couldn't bear to let Tang Qiu be punished for such a small thing.
"There will be no next time." Zhao Zie assured her.
Although there was dry food, he still took Li Can to the lake to catch fish.
Li Can was not nervous at all. He found it very interesting and had a great time.
It was a cool autumn day, so in the evening, Zhao Ji lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, grilled fish to eat, and took out dry food to share.
Wu Zao didn't dare to sit and eat with them, so he took the dry food and huddled in the corner.
After the two fell asleep, Wu Zao sat guarding the door of the cave.
Li Can nestled in Zhao Ge's arms and couldn't sleep. The rocks were too hard.
Zhao Ye was breathing evenly, thinking he was asleep, so she didn't dare to move around, so she lay on her side with her eyes closed and her ear against Zhao Ye's arm.
After a while, she opened her eyes. She seemed to hear something. She raised her head and looked around. There was a light flickering outside, and Wu Zai was dozing against the door of the cave. There was no movement at all.
Did she hear wrongly?
She paused and buried her little head again.
Just when he leaned on Zhao Zhen's arm, the voice came again.
Her heart moved, she rubbed it down and put her ear against the mat.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"
I heard it more clearly this time.
She was overjoyed and pushed Zhao Zong: "Brother Zeyu!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhen rested his head on the package.
"Come down and listen." Li Can pulled him: "There is a sound, it seems to be the sound of mining. The mine is really nearby!"
Zhao Zhi followed the instructions and leaned on the mat, listening intently. The two of them faced each other.
In the light of the fire, Li Can could see the outline of his facial features, smiled and leaned forward to kiss him on the lips.
Zhao Ye sat up and said, "It's quiet at night, and the news of mining can spread so far. I need to go check it out."
"Now?" Li Can also sat up.
"But you're scared?" Zhao Zhen paused as he arranged his clothes: "Will you come with me?"
Li Can shook his head: "I'm not going. Come back quickly. Wu Zao and I are waiting for you here."
Zhao Ye is very skilled, so he might be able to find out clearly if he goes for a while, but if she follows him, she will only be a burden.
"Okay." Zhao Ye took a thin cloak and wrapped it around her, then ordered: "Wu Zai, put out the fire."
Wu Zai responded softly and quickly put out the fire.
"Don't make a sound here." Zhao Zong warned Li Can: "Whether I can find out or not, I will be back in half an hour."
"Okay." Li Can leaned forward and resisted the urge to grab his clothes.
She was a little scared, but didn't say anything.
It's okay if she can't help her in any way. She doesn't really want to be a burden.
"Be good." Zhao Zhen leaned over and kissed her gently on her smooth forehead.
Li Can was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it.
Did Zhao Xie kiss her?
Did Zhao Ye kiss her?
Did Zhao Gong just take the initiative to kiss her?
Her heart was instantly filled with sweetness, as if eating many milk ball lion candies would not bring such indescribable sweetness and satisfaction.
She put her hand on her forehead and couldn't help but smile. She completely forgot where she was and didn't remember being afraid.
Zhao Ji came back in just over two quarters of an hour.
"Your Highness."
Wu Zai greeted softly.
Li Can came back to her senses and remembered the kiss Zhao Zong gave her before leaving. Her face burned terribly in the darkness.
Zhao Ji lit a fire and entered the cave.
"Brother Zeyu, have you found it?" Li Can looked at him approaching and thought of business in a daze.
"Found it." Zhao Zhen sat down next to her: "But the ground is too hard and you can't sleep?"
"It's okay, I fell asleep after lying down for a while." Li Can pulled him to lie down: "Let's go to sleep quickly."
It's because she's too squeamish and can't endure hardships. She's afraid that Zhao Xie will think she's troublesome and won't take her with him next time he goes out.
"You have to live here for a few more days. You have to work hard to adapt." Zhao Zong hugged her tightly.
"Can't we send a signal to Feng Qing and the others?" Li Can was puzzled.
"Feng Qing and the others saw it, and the enemy will also see it." Zhao Zong explained: "I marked it along the way.
After a few days, the people sent by Emperor Father arrive, and Feng Qing and the others will follow the marks to find him."
"Oh." Li Can nodded without saying a word, but quietly sighed in his heart. He still has to sleep in this place for several nights!
She couldn't sleep, and she was afraid of delaying Zhao Zong's rest, so she didn't move in his arms, so she just lay there obediently.
She didn't know how long it took, but she was so sleepy that she couldn't hold it any longer, so she fell asleep, only to wake up again with a burst of pain.
"Brother Zeyu, I have abdominal pain..." She covered her lower abdomen with her hands and her face wrinkled up: "I seem to have come to Kuishui..."
Zhao Jie was flipping through the Kanyu map when he heard the sound and turned to look at her.
Sure enough, there was a little bit of red on Li Can's dress, but not much.
He closed the Kanyu map and stepped forward to caress her lower abdomen: "But it hurts so much?"
"It's not very bad." Li Can shook his head: "It's sore and painful. After the treatment, it's much better than before."
Although it hurts, it is still bearable.
She also wanted to cry but had no tears. Her sunflower water had never been regular. It didn't matter if she came at any time in the East Palace or at home. There were always maids to serve her. This time she came at the wrong time.
Wu Zao also heard what was going on inside, but did not dare to ask.
Zhao Xie took the package, turned it over twice, paused and thought about it: "Wuzhao, do you still have any money on you?"
"Yes." Wu Zao took out a purse from his body and said, "Your Highness, the little ones are all carrying it with them."
"Let's go." Zhao Ye leaned over and picked up Li Can.
"Where to go?" Li Canxian's slender arms subconsciously hooked around his neck.
"There is a small village over there." Zhao Zhi pointed in a direction.
Wu Zao quickly collected the package and followed.
When I saw the house, I saw two women, an old man and a young man, walking on the road carrying hoes and shovels.
Wu Zao looked at Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zong nodded slightly.
He stepped forward without hesitation and saluted politely: "Mom, sister-in-law, we got lost in the mountains. My girl suddenly feels unwell. Can you borrow a place..."
The two women glanced at Zhao Zhi from a distance and then looked at each other, very wary.
"We don't live in vain." Wu Dao hurriedly gave them the money he had prepared in advance.
The young woman was at a loss: "Mother-in-law..."
The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment, then took the money and said, "Come with me."
It turns out that this is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, can you lend me a needle and thread?"
When they arrived at the farmhouse, Zhao Zhi asked Li Can to stand and spoke to the old woman gently.
"Yes, yes!"
The old woman looked back at him and said, "A god has descended to earth." She had not looked carefully before, but now she realized how outstanding the appearance of the son in front of her was when she looked closer.
Looking at Li Can again, he was even more amazed and speechless.
She had lived in the countryside all her life, but had she never seen such a wonderful pair? She was stunned for a moment.
"aunt?"
Wu Zao stepped forward to remind her, and the old woman finally came to her senses and went into the house to get some needle and thread.
"Can you please make a cup of brown sugar water for our girl?" Wu Zai spoke again. It is not the case that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are always asked to watch His Highness and the girl here!
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got the money, they were naturally willing and went to the kitchen as they were told.
Zhao Ji sewed the fine gauze tightly in the package used to bandage the wound, then removed the only snow-white cotton in the thin quilt and stuffed it in, and handed it to Li Can.
"You can also do needlework?" Li Can looked at the tight stitches in surprise.
Not only can she sew, but she also sewed something like this for her, which is usually done by a dedicated maid.
"Go and change clothes first." Zhao Zhen took some gauze and sewed it.
Li Can went into the house and changed clothes.
When she came out again, Zhao Zhi handed her another fine gauze bag and told her with red tips on her ears: "Use it instead."
"Your husband-in-law is so kind to you." The little woman came with brown sugar water with an envious look on her face.
"I..." Li Cangang was about to explain that she and Zhao Ye were not a couple.
Zhao Xie took the clothes Li Can had changed from his hands and said to the young woman, "Please take care of my wife for me."
"Don't worry." The little woman responded with a smile.
Li Can was stunned when she saw Zhao Ye's back coming out of the fence yard. Did she hear it wrong? Zhao Ye said that she was his "wife"?
