Cheng Huaijin didn't argue with Gu Xin. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he went to sleep.
Gu Xin found a spacious spot, practiced a set of boxing moves, and felt comfortable all over. She went to the luggage area, took a water pouch, filled it with water, and then ate a jade bead.
She can eat the jade beads to quench her thirst and temporarily fill her stomach, but Cheng Huaijin and Helian Yi cannot. So, let's leave more water for them!
What if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Goz don't find this place for a while?
When Helian Yi woke up, he felt a little cold. He felt pain in his wounds when he moved. He opened his eyes and found himself lying under a half-hidden broken wall. Not far away, there was a slender figure covered in blood.
That's right, it's Yaotiao. Her husband comes from the Great Zhou Dynasty in the east. He has learned the saying, "A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman."
Gu Xin heard the noise and turned around to look.
Her eyes lit up, and she jogged over, squatting down: "Helian Yi, you woke up so quickly? I thought you'd be unconscious for a while longer! You're in great shape!"
Helian Yi was startled by Gu Xin's reaction.
He must have guessed wrong yesterday. Was this person covered in blood the one he only caught a fleeting glimpse of yesterday?
Gu Xin smiled slightly: "Are you afraid of me? My brother and I saved you yesterday. If we wanted to kill you, we would have done it last night. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Helian Yi pursed his chapped lips and nodded.
Gu Xin went to get an unused water pouch, opened it, and fed it to Helian Yi.
"Oh dear! How could you be so silly? You even spilled water while drinking it?" Gu Xin fed him with the water pouch without supporting him. Helian Yi's hands were on his shoulder and arm, making it difficult for him to move them.
"Could you help me up?" Helian Yi licked the water from around his mouth and said in a hoarse voice.
"No." Gu Xin shook her head, her face serious. "I have a boyfriend, and he gets jealous of both men and women. So, you'd better stay thirsty. When my brother wakes up, I'll have him feed you!"
Helian Yi: "..."
Cheng Huaijin: "Pfft!"
Cheng Huaijin really couldn't hold back; he woke up when Gu Xin started speaking.
Gu Xin turned to look at Cheng Huaijin: "Brother, it's okay for you to sleep a little longer. He won't die from not drinking water for a while."
"Cough cough cough cough..." Helian Yi couldn't catch his breath and coughed incessantly.
Cheng Huaijin sat up, walked over, took the water bag, and helped Helian Yi up to feed him water.
Gu Xin calmly squatted down next to Cheng Huaijin.
Helian Yi drank his fill of water and felt much better: "Thank you both for saving my life!"
Gu Xin smiled and said, "We have no way to repay your life-saving grace. We don't need you to repay us with your body."
Helian Yi: "..."
He was so annoyed. Was this girl really in a relationship? How could someone with such a sharp tongue find a boyfriend?
Her boyfriend must be furious with her!
Cheng Huaijin smiled and waved his hand: "Prince Helian, it wasn't an easy thing for us siblings to do to save you. You are a complete stranger to us, and we are not the kind of people with a heart of gold."
Helian Yi stopped looking at Gu Xin, cleared his mind of all distractions, and looked at Cheng Huaijin: "May I ask how I should address you?"
Cheng Huaijin: "Dugu Hai of the Flowing Sand Kingdom".
Gu Xin leaned closer: "Dugu Xin from the Flowing Sand Kingdom."
Helian Yi was startled: "So it's Prince Ahai and Princess Xinxin of the Flowing Sand Kingdom! I've heard of them before, it's an honor to meet them today! Cough cough cough cough..."
Helian Yi tried to follow the teacher's example and bow, but this aggravated his wound.
