"No problem." Lingzhi assured, patting his chest.

The silver nest and the grass nest are both asleep, so it’s time for her to sleep in the golden nest.

Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun walked around the bottom of the cliff and found that they were located between three cliffs and one river.

The cliff is steep and surrounded by cliffs, making it impossible to climb up.

Lingzhi touched his chin and said, "How about we build a raft and drift down to see what's happening?"

Xiao Qingyun was silent for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "It would be very dangerous to go down the river blindly if we encounter a break in the flow."

"Besides, we don't know where we can land. It might take several days to go down the river. If the weather changes suddenly, we will just have to endure it."

"Don't worry. I've left Qiye on the cliff to watch. He should soon realize the rope is broken and will surely find a way to save us."

Lingzhi blinked and said, "Okay! Let's wait a little longer."

But I secretly complained in my heart: If you can't do it, just say you can't do it, why find so many excuses.

The two of them were like savages, wearing leaves to cover their bodies, picking wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and waiting for someone to rescue them.

As a result, we waited until dark.

Fortunately, they found a cliff cave among the vines, which was suitable for spending the night.

But I'll have to keep company with some small lizards and snakes all night.

The two men found some firewood and started a fire, and the cave became brighter.

Xiao Qingyun made a simple grill, brought back the two rabbits he had hunted earlier, and began to slaughter and clean them.

Lingzhi went over to help, picked up a rabbit and began to skin, remove the internal organs and clean it skillfully.

Looking at her coordinated movements, Xiao Qingyun pinched his chin.

"I'm so shocked I'm afraid my jaw will drop. Are you still a woman? How come you seem so used to this kind of thing?"

He was really surprised. How could a little maid raised in a deep house be capable of such things?

Is there any special experience?

Lingzhi said heartlessly: "What's the big deal? I'm used to it."

She has practiced for thousands of years, often sleeping in the open air, honing her spirit and tempering her will.

Xiao Qingyun looked at her with a strange look, but didn't say anything else.

Lingzhi didn't care. He skewered the cleaned rabbit meat on a sharpened wooden stick and roasted it on the fire.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue filled the entire cave.

Although there is no salt, when the meat is roasted and dripping with oil, Lingzhi wraps it with some herbs, dogwood fruits and other garnishes?

The color is enough to arouse the gluttony in people's stomachs.

Lingzhi took a bite and found the roasted meat to be full of fat, with a chewy texture. The fruity aroma mixed with the meaty aroma made her tongue lose its way instantly.

So, the speed at which she showed off her fandom shocked Xiao Qingyun who was standing beside her.

After eating, Xiao Qingyun sat in a relatively clean place and closed his eyes to rest.

Lingzhi also lay down on the hay and began to count the stars in the sky above the cave entrance.

The current tranquility gave her an illusion that she was not in distress, but more like a person on vacation.

And for some reason, she always felt familiar when she was with Xiao Qingyun.

It was as if they had always been together like this.

…

At night, Lingzhi had a dream.

She was standing in a room with a blazing fire.

The walls of the ornate room had been blackened by the smoke and smoke. She was filled with sorrow, tears streaming down her face. She formed a megaphone gesture, clasping her hands together like a trumpet around her mouth and shouting:

"Why?! Why are you doing this to me?!"

"Since I'm just a hindrance to you, fine, then I'll die!"

"No matter how high you go, you and I will never see each other again in this life..."

The shrill roar frightened countless children in the capital city into crying.

Flames shot up into the sky.

In her blurred vision, she saw people outside in a mess, seemingly shouting something at her.

She can't hear, they don't know how to amplify the sound.

The fire was fierce, and the flames licked everything in the room mercilessly, burning anything they could touch.

The flowers and plants in the room were quickly burnt, and she was about to wither like hay.

At this moment, she heard someone shouting at her.

She looked over, but couldn't see his face clearly in the thick smoke.

The flames behind her roared fiercely, and her long hair flew in the heat waves, like the black flames of hell, full of despair.

Sadness, fear, anger, unwillingness...all turned into despair, causing her heart to tear apart with pain.

In the world of fire, endless darkness is coming.

Lingzhi suddenly opened his eyes.

Thinking of the scene in my dream just now, I still feel a little scared.

Fortunately it was just a dream.

She looked outside the cave and saw that it was daybreak.

Xiao Qingyun didn't know where he went. A stone frog was lying on the place where he rested last night, croaking.

She looked at it for a few more seconds, and confirmed that the ugly thing could not be Xiao Qingyun in disguise, so she got up and left the cave.

The riverside, which was empty yesterday, is now home to several black-sailed boats.

Lingzhi noticed that something was wrong and walked quickly towards the black-sailed boat.

On the leading boat stood several burly men, holding short blades with blood grooves in their hands.

Seeing Lingzhi, the leading man stood at the bow and said to her condescendingly: "This stretch of water is my, Boss Sun's, territory! Why don't you hand over the silver you have on you?"

Lingzhi's face turned dark, it turned out that he had encountered bandits.

Fortunately, she had gone through the mess last night, with her face covered in mud, her eyes swollen from mosquito bites, and her disheveled hair and dirt covering up her beautiful face, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Lingzhi rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm standing on this land and I haven't been in the water. Why should I pay you money?"
