Chapter 872 Panic
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. Shen Qingxiao's foot injury had almost healed and he was in good health.
"Brother Lu, let's set off today." Shen Qingxiao looked outside Shandong, feeling anxious.
She was in a coma with a high fever for three days and woke up four days ago. She was still confused after waking up and only became more lucid yesterday.
She didn't dare to think about how Aruda had taken care of her these days. She just wanted to go home quickly. Her family must be worried sick.
Aruda lowered his eyes to look at her feet, and Shen Qingxiao took a step back uncomfortably.
"Is your foot injury healed?" Aruda asked calmly.
Shen Qingxiao nodded, "Yes! It's already done. It definitely won't slow down our journey!"
"Let's go." Aruda didn't ask any more questions. He turned around, packed up, and was the first to leave the cave.
Shen Qingxiao tightly grasped the cloak he had previously draped over her and followed him silently.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on. Last time, Aruda was only concerned about staying away from the Jun people's sphere of influence. This time, he deliberately slowed down his pace so that Shen Qingxiao would not neglect himself because of the need to keep up with him.
Shen Qingxiao also clearly felt his thoughtfulness, and her heart warmed slightly. When she looked up at his back, she unconsciously curled the corners of her lips.
Unfortunately, this smile was fleeting.
Thinking of how he had taken care of her these days, Shen Qingxiao's ears couldn't help but turn red, and her heart was even a little flustered.
Although he had to act in an emergency, he had seen and touched her feet, and treated the wounds on her arms and neck. If these were known to outsiders, she would either marry him immediately or have to cut her hair and become a nun in a temple.
Needless to say, the journey was bumpy and difficult, but Shen Qingxiao discovered that although Aruda never spoke on his own initiative, he took care of her in every possible way.
He is also very organized and will prepare his next meal while walking on the road.
Sometimes it was a pile of fruits or nuts, sometimes it was a hare or pheasant. If they saw bamboo, they would cut it down and make water bottles, tie them together with vines and carry them on their bodies so that they would not lack water along the way.
After walking for a day and it was getting dark, Aruda said to Shen Qingxiao, "It's not convenient to travel at night. Let's find a place to rest for the night."
In order to avoid the Jun people, he took Shen Qingxiao and took a detour from the south. It was still two hours away from Ezhou.
Shen Qingxiao naturally had no objection. She knew that if he hadn't brought her with him, Aruda would have left the forest long ago.
The two found a cliff, which was just a place to stay.
Aruda lit a bonfire and let Shen Qingxiao keep warm beside it, and then started another fire to roast the pheasant.
On the way here just now, he shot two pheasants and processed them while getting water.
Shen Qingxiao felt ashamed when he saw how calm he was. He wanted to help but didn't know where to start.
Aruda was really capable. He did all the work along the way. She just followed him and asked for food, drink and protection.
Shen Qingxiao was not the kind of person who could enjoy the efforts of others with a clear conscience. At this moment, all the shyness about his reputation was temporarily forgotten.
"Brother Lu, I heard you ask before..." Shen Qingxiao thought for a long time before finding a suitable topic, "Are you looking for your family?"
She didn't feel comfortable asking him directly if he had lost his memory, so she could only ask him indirectly.
Aruda looked up at her, pursed his lips, and didn't answer.
