She stood up and was about to say something to the boy when her vision suddenly went dark and she began to fall as she was pulled by a strong force.
She entered the drowsy darkness again. She didn't know how long it had been before she followed the voice that called her and walked towards the light.
There seemed to be a human figure wrapped in the light, swaying back and forth...
Ah, so annoying.
She suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed the shadow, and then suddenly woke up.
What caught her eye was a face as big as a pancake, with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, which were looking at her.
"woke up?"
Xiao Nanhui suddenly jumped up from the bed, and then gradually came to his senses like a person waking up from a nightmare.
She looked at the big face in front of her that she had been thinking about day and night, her lips trembling, and she cried again, then hugged the other person in her arms.
The shrike was strangled and cursed: "What's wrong with her? Hao Bai! Hao Bai! You quack, didn't you say she was fine..."
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and someone in white strode into the room, bringing in the scent of cosmetics.
"Move aside, let me take a look."
He extended two fingers and pretended to feel her wrist. Then, stroking his nonexistent mustache, he said leisurely, "Judging from the pulse, she is very strong, but her intelligence is limited. I'm afraid it's beyond my ability to help her..."
She knew that this barefoot doctor had no good words for her.
"roll."
Xiao Nanhui raised his foot to kick, but the man dodged nimbly. It seemed that this skill was acquired during his time in Bijiang.
Shrike still stood aside with his arms folded, a look of doubt on his face: "Are you really alright?"
Hao Bai pointed at the person on the bed with lingering fear: "Look at her posture, does she look like she's in trouble? I was the one who held her leg. Look at her strength and flexibility..."
She propped herself up and got up from the bed. She was indeed only slightly dizzy, probably because she had been lying in bed for too long.
"How long have I been sleeping?"
The Shrike held up three fingers.
"Three days?"
Fragments of the dream flashed through her mind. It seemed as if she had stayed in that haunted place for three days.
Was it really just a dream? Why did it feel so real...
While she was stunned, Shrike came closer and stared at her face intently. "I don't think it's a congenital intellectual disability, but a brain injury from a fall. You can't even tell the difference between your fingers."
Xiao Nanhui pushed her face away and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Where's His Majesty? Is he alright?"
The room was silent for a few seconds, and her face suddenly changed. She hurried to get up and put on her shoes.
Seeing this, Hao Bai quickly said, "Why are you so anxious? I haven't said anything yet. If something really happened to that person, would you be in this state when you woke up?"
She was a little confused, but more anxious: "What happened?"
"The arrow that hit him in the back was indeed dangerous, but his life is no longer in danger. It's just..."
Hao Bai paused for a moment, as if considering how to start.
"Just what?" She was even more anxious.
"But the person hasn't woken up yet. Even if he wakes up, I don't know what the situation is."
What happened in the dream cave just before she lost consciousness flooded into her mind like a tide, mixing with the dream that was about to disappear, giving her a headache.
What is going on?
"I have to go over and take a look, just one look. From a distance..."
The Shrike beside him suddenly said, "I advise you not to go over there."
"Why?"
Shrike's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he didn't understand why Xiao Nanhui would ask such a stupid question. "Why? That lackey Ding Weixiang hates you to death now and wants to tear you into pieces. Why do you think so?"
The leg she had moved outward finally retracted.
"When did you become so close to the emperor?" Hao Bai said as he crossed his legs.
Xiao Nanhui calmed down and gave him a perfect answer: "Your Majesty, I personally escorted him. Isn't it my duty to care whether he is dead or alive?"
Hao Bai showed a mysterious smile, as if he didn't intend to let her go. "You know he is actually..." He paused deliberately, and then continued, "Don't you have any other feelings?"
Shrike narrowed his eyes sharply. "What is it actually?"
Hao Bai pointed at Xiao Nan and replied, "Go ask her."
After that, a voice came from outside the door: "Is Mr. Hao here? Lieutenant Ding, please come over."
"Here it comes."
Hao Bai gave Xiao Nanhui a meaningful look, then stood up and floated away, leaving her and Shrike staring at each other.
She was completely afraid that the other party would ask her the same question again, because she really didn't know where to start, so she opened her mouth first, "I have something important to ask you. How did you find us?"
In fact, what she really wanted to ask was: What did you see when you came here?
Shrike stared at her for a moment, then asked, "You don't remember anything? You don't even remember why the emperor was shot?"
Her heart was beating like a drum, and she lied subconsciously: "I don't remember. I just remember meeting a group of killers, very similar to the group we met in Murhe before. I fought with them, and then, and then..."
She was a little bit at a loss for words.
Hey, it’s all because she’s been lying down for so long, her brain isn’t working as well as it used to.
Just when she thought she was about to be exposed, Shrike continued what she was saying.
"No wonder, no wonder. They say the sand and rock in the west of the ridge are loose, and you shouldn't speak loudly in the caves, otherwise there's a danger of the sky collapsing and the earth breaking apart. But you're so good, fighting in there. I guess that's why a piece of it collapsed."
"Collapsed?" Xiao Nanhui muttered to himself.
Did their fight cause the entire cave to collapse?
She felt that this was definitely not the case, but Shrike firmly believed it.
"How could it be false? When we received the message from Night Owl and rushed over, we found your location with almost no effort, because the caves in that area had completely collapsed. It took a battalion of soldiers a whole day to dig you two out. You are truly lucky to be alive."
Xiao Nanhui fell into a brief silence, and then she remembered another thing that worried her.
"Where's my godfather? Is he okay? But he came with you? He..."
Before Shrike could speak, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
