"It's Big Brother and Eunuch Lin! They found us!" Yan Xi was overjoyed, pulling Xiao Jingwen out and shouting, "Big Brother, Eunuch Lin, His Highness and I are here!"
Xiao Jingwen, who was being pulled to run, looked at the two clasped hands, his heart filled with joy, and he let him pull him.
Chu Junyao, whose clothes were torn and whose face was scratched by the thorns on the road, looked in the direction of the sound. On the other side of the grass, Yan Xi and Xiao Jingwen were running towards them, one in front and one behind.
Chu Junyao and his men brought a lot of soldiers with them. When they saw the two of them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The two were fine and still alive and kicking. Chu Junyao was pleasantly surprised and strode forward, "Yanxi, Ninth Prince! I'm so glad you're all right!"
Yan Xi walked closer and took a closer look. He found that he looked very embarrassed and frowned slightly. "Brother, we are fine, but you..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Big brother, what could possibly happen? These are just minor injuries. As long as you and His Highness are okay, it's fine." Chu Junyao smiled from ear to ear, a little silly. Suddenly, he noticed a red mark on the boy's neck and frowned, "Yanxi, why is there a big red mark on your neck?"
Yan Xi was confused and felt around randomly, "Is there anything? Maybe it was bitten by some insect."
Chu Junyao thought so too. There are many insects in the wild, so it is normal to get bitten. "It is better to be careful. Go back and ask the doctor to check you out. If the insect is poisonous, it will be bad."
Yan Xi: "Okay."
As for Eunuch Lin who was standing by, he was a little puzzled when he saw that his master looked radiant and in a very happy mood. How could the Ninth Prince not look haggard at all, but instead look more energetic, after such a life-threatening experience as falling off a cliff?
Is it his illusion?
Even though she was thinking this, she still asked with some concern, "Your Highness, how have you and Second Young Master Chu been doing these past two weeks? Your servants have been searching for you for a long time, fearing that something might have happened to you."
Xiao Jingwen glanced at the person who had completely forgotten him and smiled helplessly, "There are many wild animals and fruits in this mountain. This palace and Yanxi have a good life."
Eunuch Lin nodded thoughtfully, "I'm glad Your Highness is alright."
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, it's getting late. Let me take you out. It's early spring now, and the poisonous snakes and fierce beasts have ended their hibernation. I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous after dark." Chu Junyao reminded from the side.
Xiao Jingwen pursed his lips, nodded, and looked back reluctantly.
The bamboo house has been built, and the animal skins have been cleaned and dried and are ready for use.
He actually didn't want to go out. These days were the happiest time he could remember.
Yan Xi noticed his gaze and suddenly ran back.
"Hey, Yanxi? What are you running back for?" Chu Junyao held Erkang's hand.
"There are still some things I haven't taken. Wait for me, I'll be back soon!"
An incense stick of time passed, and when Yan Xi came back, he was holding a large pile of animal skins and had several of them draped over his body. He was almost buried and had difficulty walking.
Xiao Jingwen was slightly startled, and hurried forward to help hold them, "Yanxi, what are you doing with them?"
Yan Xi was sweating profusely from the heat, and she grinned at him breathlessly, "Didn't Your Highness say that you would use them to make clothes and blankets for me? Wouldn't it be a waste to keep them?"
Xiao Jingwen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "If you want, there will be plenty in the future. It's so tiring to carry them."
"That won't do. You took a lot of effort to hunt these for me. I have to take them out no matter how tired I am." Yan Xi looked serious and refused to let go.
The male protagonist is really a spendthrift. These animal skins are of top-notch quality. If he buys them, they will be extremely valuable.
Hearing this, Xiao Jingwen felt sweet in his heart, and he couldn't suppress the upward corners of his mouth, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Chu Junyao came over, touched the animal skin, and praised it in admiration, "It's so soft, it would be a shame to throw it away. You guys help hold it."
"Yes!" Two or three soldiers stepped forward, folded it and held it in their arms.
Feeling relaxed, Yan Xi stretched his muscles, holding a bag of wild fruits that Xiao Jingwen had picked that morning in his arms.
Along the way, Yan Xi kept chewing.
The mountain road was rugged and full of thorns. Perhaps because the ice and snow had melted, the road was very slippery and difficult to walk on. After walking for a distance, Yan Xi lost his balance and fell, almost rolling down the mountain with the wild fruits.
Xiao Jingwen, who was closest to him, had a change of expression on his face. He felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly pulled the person into his arms. "Yanxi, where did you fall?"
Yan Xi's knee hit a sharp stone, causing unbearable pain. Instinctively, his clear eyes became misty, making him look extremely pitiful.
He shook his head. "It's okay. I can still walk."
Chu Junyao, who was leading the way, heard the noise from behind and turned to see the man covered in mud, with trembling legs. He knew at a glance that he had fallen and said hurriedly, "Yanxi, I'll carry you on my back. Don't try to be so stubborn."
"No need, I'll do it myself, you just focus on leading the way." Xiao Jingwen squatted down and motioned Yan Xi to lie down on him.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, this is inappropriate for you of noble status!" Chu Junyao and Eunuch Lin were shocked and tried to dissuade him in unison.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jingwen said with a stern face and a strong attitude, staring at Yan Xi, not allowing any room for argument: "Come up."
The young man looked at Chu Junyao and Eunuch Lin, then looked at him again, and slowly leaned over. The familiar body fragrance filled his nostrils.
Yan Xi grabbed his shoulders tightly, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Xiao Jingwen took every step steadily. Lying on his back, Yan Xi unconsciously relaxed, feeling very safe. However, her knees hurt a lot, and she gasped from time to time.
Xiao Jingwen noticed it keenly, paused his movements, and quietly circulated his internal energy.
After a while, Yan Xi's injured knee was surrounded by a warm current and the pain was reduced.
His eyes lit up, he hugged Xiao Jingwen's neck tightly, put his head close to Xiao Jingwen's ear, and said very softly: "Jingwen, thank you, I don't feel any pain anymore."
The warm breath sprayed on his neck, which was a little itchy. Because the boy was too close, his lips accidentally touched his ear, which was soft. Xiao Jingwen's head was buzzing, his cheeks were slightly red, and he smiled: "Yeah."
Chu Junyao was worried about Yan Xi and kept looking back, but he didn't expect that his younger brother was whispering with the Ninth Prince. He was about to look away, but the next moment his eyes widened.
His younger brother seemed to kiss the Ninth Prince's ear, and the Ninth Prince's face was full of joy and shyness, and his expression was gentle.
An absurd thought flashed through his mind, Chu Junyao's heart was beating like thunder, he turned back hurriedly, the ambiguous scene kept appearing in front of his eyes, he suddenly remembered the red mark on Yan Xi's neck, his hands trembled slightly.
No, he must have seen it wrong.
Yan Xi knew nothing about love affairs and would not do such an outrageous thing. What's more, homosexuality has always been despised by people all over the world.
It is well known that the most vicious way to insult a man is probably to make him submit to another man.
Yan Xi must know that no matter how playful he is, he would never do that.
But on second thought, if he doesn't, then what about the Ninth Prince?
Chu Junyao didn't dare to think about it.
He must have seen it wrong. The Ninth Prince is a prince and he would not care about his reputation.
He is also very nice to Yanxi, isn't he?
Thinking of this, Chu Junyao gradually calmed down, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, there was no guarantee that they would not sprout.
