As soon as the words fell, a cold look appeared in the eyes of the people beside him.
Liu Zhiyi felt the big hand holding him tighten. After a long time, a cold voice came from above his head.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyi. I was so busy looking for you that I didn't realize I was being followed."
"Not long ago, a servant reported that one of our men was ambushed and... was taken away. It was the Pei Family Army led by Marquis Pei himself. We are short-handed, so..."
Song Hanchuan's voice was very soft and low, but it seemed to be filled with ice, and every word he uttered was chilling.
He clenched his fists tightly, and because of the force, the joints turned slightly white, and the veins on the back of his white hands bulged.
He suddenly realized that he was still holding Liu Zhiyi's hand, and quickly loosened his grip.
He took a deep breath, looked Liu Zhiyi in the eyes firmly, and said solemnly,
"Xiaoyi, give me some time. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer this in vain."
The material of the clothes they were wearing was floating brocade, of which only three pieces were produced each year. At this moment, the cold moonlight fell on their shoulders, stretching their figures and intertwining them.
The waves sparkled as she moved, the breeze blew, her skirts fluttered, the corners of her robes flew, they intertwined in the air, and the pearly light lingered.
The girl is pretty and the boy is handsome. From a distance, they look like a couple from gods who have come down to earth.
Liu Zhiyi nodded.
At this moment, the two of them had already arrived in front of the cave.
Just as he was about to go in, he found a fire burning inside, lighting up the entire cave as bright as day.
Liu Zhiyi blinked and quickly walked forward, and found a handsome wild man sitting inside. Beside him, there were two white foxes, one big and one small.
Further to the side were prepared pheasants and rabbits, all placed on large green leaves.
Hearing the noise, the man and the fox pricked up their ears at the same time and stared at the cave entrance with anticipation.
When he saw Liu Zhiyi's face, excitement flashed in his eyes, but when he saw Song Hanchuan beside her, his eyes turned wary.
Liu Zhiyi held his forehead helplessly.
Is this...collaborating with her?
Well, she hadn't eaten for the whole day and was starving, so she took Song Hanchuan's hand and led him into the cave, introducing them to the two foxes.
"He is my man, one of our own."
"Both of you, put your claws away. You, sit still and don't look at him with such dangerous eyes. Don't worry, he won't hurt you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the savage and the two foxes seemed to understand.
One of them sat down obediently, and the other two returned to their original positions, squinting their fox eyes and sleeping there.
While rolling up his sleeves and starting to grill the meat, Liu Zhiyi briefly explained to Song Hanchuan the origin of the man and the two foxes.
Song Hanchuan also rolled up his sleeves and began to work with her. His eyes inadvertently swept over the shirtless man, whose important parts were covered only with red flowers and green leaves, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
Then he looked away and continued grilling the meat as if nothing had happened.
Soon, the rabbits and pheasants finished their tests.
This time, Liu Zhiyi also roasted the wild vegetables that he had not had time to eat yesterday. He had a good meal with both meat and vegetables.
After eating, the man remained silent again and was about to leave with the two foxes, but was stopped by Song Hanchuan.
"We're leaving here tomorrow. Will you come with us?"
Song Hanchuan looked at the savage with indifferent eyes. The other party was stunned for a moment, and his clear eyes turned twice, seeming to be a little hesitant.
Liu Zhiyi tugged at his sleeve in confusion. Song Hanchuan glanced at her, gently patted the back of her hand, and turned his gaze to the savage again.
Pursed his lips and said,
"You don't have to answer me so quickly. We'll set off tomorrow morning. If you're willing, you can come find us here. If not, just pretend I didn't say anything."
The savage paused, turned around and disappeared like lightning.
The speed and agility were so amazing that they could almost be compared to the heavenly power. The two foxes followed suit, and in the dim night, two white shadows flashed by.
Soon, calm returned to the outside of the cave, as if nothing had happened.
Liu Zhiyi slowly withdrew his gaze, and the moment he turned his head, he met a pair of extremely affectionate eyes.
I couldn't help but call out softly,
"Song Hanchuan~~~"
The man said "hmm", his voice was drawn out and the ending tone was heavy, with an indescribable meaning.
Liu Zhiyi was so soft-hearted that she threw herself into Song Hanchuan's arms again without caring about anything else.
Perhaps because she had rested well, this time, she noticed a barely perceptible inhalation sound in her ears the moment she pounced.
He made the sound very soft, but she still noticed it.
Thinking about how Song Hanchuan had used his body to block her from falling off the cliff, Liu Zhiyi's face changed instantly.
Pulling him nervously,
"Are you injured? Let me see."
Before Song Hanchuan could recover, Qingyun's anxious voice came from the cave entrance.
"Madam, please take a look. The master's back is seriously injured. I am almost worried to death."
"But the master was in such a hurry to find you that he didn't even bother to treat or bandage it properly."
"The wound on his back opened again and again along the way, and he only dealt with it hastily when he could no longer bear it. Now, the injury is probably worse."
"Oh, by the way, there's still something on your lap..."
"You're too talkative."
Before Qingyun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Song Hanchuan in a deep voice. He then looked at Liu Zhiyi guiltily and tried to explain, "I...actually..."
Liu Zhiyi's eyes widened.
"I what I?"
After saying that, he raised his voice towards the cave entrance,
"Qingyun, you say."
The man outside paused and continued, "The master's legs are also covered with wounds, but the wounds are not deep. The master was in a hurry and didn't pay any attention to them. Not to mention bandaging them, he didn't even apply medicine."
When Liu Zhiyi heard that he didn't take care of his body, she was furious.
But when she thought that he did this just because he was worried about her and wanted to find her as soon as possible, she felt deeply moved.
The bright almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of mist at some point, and the vision became blurred.
The man held her in his arms and whispered in a hoarse voice,
"My lady, don't listen to his nonsense. I am a man, your husband, with thick skin and flesh. This little injury is nothing."
Liu Zhiyi thought, judging from his fair, firm skin and his long, white hands, one could tell that he was a man who had lived a life of luxury for many years and had never had to do any housework.
A noble man raised in a wealthy family is even more delicate than a woman like her. How can he be rough?
Outside the cave, Qingyun murmured softly,
"That's not just a minor injury. Your body is covered in blood and flesh. Moreover, you've been searching for Madam since you woke up. You haven't slept for three days."
Even a body of iron can't bear it!
