Chapter 746 What if that dream was false?

Xing Xing called Wei Shiyan: "Come over and grill for a while."

Wei Shiyan jumped into the water to save her just now, so naturally he was soaked.

Wei Shiyan paused and said, "It's okay."

Xing Xing insisted: "Why don't you come over and we grill together. Otherwise, I'll go over and we won't grill either."

Wei Shiyan only thought about it for a moment and then compromised.

Xing Xing still ran over quickly and held Wei Shiyan's arm.

Everyone at the banquet was stunned: "I am lame, but I am not unable to walk."

Xing Xing looked up at Wei Shiyan and said, "I know medicine. I know. You can walk, but you will also feel pain."

Wei Shiyan was silent for a moment.

His eyes were already very deep, and now that he was silent, they were even deeper, like the pool of water where Xing Xing fell.

Xing Xing didn't care about anything and carefully helped Wei Shiyan to the fire, then let him sit down.

Wei Shiyan was restrained and polite, he lowered his eyes and did not look at Xingxing.

Xingxing didn't care and used a wooden stick to poke the fire to make it burn more vigorously.

Wei Shiyan originally thought that Xingxing would have a lot to ask him.

However, when Xing Xing spoke again, she sighed with some pain.

"...You must have suffered a lot these days."

A feast in times of crisis.

He actually had no particular emotions about his situation.

But after Xingxing said this, Wei Shiyan only felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

Wei Shiyan pursed his lips and asked Xingxing: "What about you? Why did you fall down?"

To be honest, when Xingxing rolled down from the top of the cave, Wei Shiyan hadn't seen the figure clearly at that time, but a thought flashed through his mind quickly, could it be Xingxing?

This idea is absurd and ridiculous.

But it just came out of nowhere.

For that inexplicable feeling, Wei Shiyan jumped into the cold pond to save people.

But it was Wei Shiyan himself who never expected that the person who fell down was actually Xing Xing.

When asked how she fell, Xing Xing simply explained the situation: "Qin Da Gong sent a secret letter to the emperor and the empress, saying that you had been chasing the rebellious southern barbarians and disappeared. I happened to have a dream that I saw you in the cave over here... so I followed the emperor's orders and came to look for you."

"Ridiculous!" Wei Shiyan didn't care much about his situation, but when he heard that Xing Xing came to find him just because of a dream, he suddenly became angry.

"What if that dream was a lie?"

"No."

Xing Xing said in a gentle but firm voice, "I know that dream was a guide from heaven. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here right now."

Xing Xing looked towards Wei Shiyan.

The thin young man sitting by the fire had beautiful features and looked like an ordinary person. Although he had been living a carefree life these days, some stubble had appeared on his chin, but it did not diminish his graceful demeanor at all.

He had always had a cold look on his face, showing that he didn't take himself seriously at all, but now he was angry because she came to him suddenly because of a dream.

Xing Xing also realized this when she looked at Wei Shiyan.

She felt...how should I put it, she felt a little uncomfortable deep down.

Wei Shiyan stopped talking again.

At the moment, Xingxing was only wearing her underwear, and Wei Shiyan controlled himself and didn't look at Xingxing.

He doesn't like talking much.

There was silence now, and the only sound around was the crackling of the flames licking the dry branches.

Xing Xing didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and used a wooden stick to pull the dead branches that had not been completely burned, changing their surface to one that was more flammable.

"...the ones causing the riots were not actually from the southern barbarians."

Wei Shiyan suddenly spoke.

He still didn't look at Xing Xing, but kept his head down, which probably caused his voice to sound a little muffled than before.

Xing Xing looked at Wei Shiyan again: "Are you from Xiyi?"

Wei Shiyan asked: "How did you know?"

Xingxing briefly talked about the "uncle" of Pang Jinkang whom she met in Anjiang City.

"...Pang Jinkang mentioned that his uncle's biological father was from Xiyi and had lived outside the Great Wall before. I was wondering how he got involved with Xiyi. Now it seems that these were the work of Xiyi people."

"Yes. I have evidence that the people of Xiyi are pretending to be the Nanman and causing chaos." Wei Shiyan said, "That's why they keep chasing me."

Wei Shiyan said: "If I can't get out, the evidence will be buried under the only jujube tree in the courtyard wrapped in oil paper."

Xing Xing felt very uncomfortable hearing such unlucky words as entrusting an orphan to someone else's care.

"Stop talking." Xing Xing stretched out her hand to stop him. "It hurts to hear you say that. If we want to go out, we should go out together. It doesn't make sense for me to go out alone while you can't."

Wei Shiyan said nothing.

After explaining this, he felt a little relieved.

The fire was crackling.

These dead branches had been drying in the cave for many years. Although the burning sound was a little loud, surprisingly, there was not much smoke.

This is a good thing. Once we exit the cave, the smoke will just be seen as a ridge in the mountains and will not attract any attention.

Xing Xing waited until the clothes were almost dry, then she stood up and put on her outer clothes: "You sit here for a while, I'll go inside and look for any herbs that can be used."

She brought some medicine with her. Although most of them were packed in oil paper or porcelain bottles, some of them were soaked by water when she fell into the cold pond and could not be used.

When Xingxing goes out these days, she mostly carries some detoxification pills, abscess medicine, and self-protection drugs.

Although it could be helpful for Wei Shiyan's most urgent bone-setting problem, Xingxing always felt that it was not enough.

For example, Wei Shiyan's leg required the crooked bones to be broken and realigned, and the pain was unbearable for ordinary people.

Xing Xing then thought about whether she could prescribe some pain-relieving medicine for Wei Shiyan under the current conditions.

Wei Shiyan stood up as usual: "I'll go with you."

After Xingxing put on her outer clothes, he dared to look at her.

Now he was looking at her: "Although there are no scary wild animals in that small forest, there are still some insects."

Xingxing thought about it and didn't refuse.

The two of them walked slowly towards the courtyard together.

Although it is called a courtyard, it is actually more like a deep well in the mountains.

The cliffs are thousands of feet high, and the sun shines straight in. Mosses, vines, and green trees seem to be thriving in this small world.

The cave where the Wei Shiyan was held is connected to here, like a strange paradise.

Xing Xing naturally supported Wei Shiyan.

Wei Shiyan was still a little stiff due to Xingxing's touch.

The two of them walked around the courtyard.

Xingxing actually found some herbs that could be used.

Her little face was rosy and a smile could not stop showing from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She was really happy about this.

Wei Shiyan looked at Xing Xing for a while and then looked away.
