Chapter 749: Visitors

The time in the cave seemed to pass exceptionally quickly.

During the day, Xingxing went to the forest in the courtyard to dig some wild vegetables, pick some mushrooms, or other edible and useful things. She even dug out a lot of wild yams in the forest.

Wei Shiyan was spearing fish by the cold pond.

Xingxing has also developed many ways to eat grilled fish. The meat of this cold pond fish is delicious. After eating it for these days, Xingxing feels that her skin has become much more tender.

After Xingxing's careful observation, she found that Wei Shiyan's legs healed surprisingly quickly. Apart from Wei Shiyan's own factors, it was probably also related to the rich nutritional value of this fish.

Xing Xing simply stayed with Wei Shiyan by the cold pond all day, and the two of them caught fish in the pond together.

This cold pond has been sparsely populated for thousands of years, and fish have multiplied and thrived in it, with a population that is quite impressive.

Xing Xing minced wild vegetables and herbs she had picked from the forest, made them into bait, and threw them into the cold pond in large balls to make a nest, attracting many fish. Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan took the cut branches and thrust them in accurately. Before long, the two had caught dozens of fish.

Xing Xing used dead branches picked up from the forest, lit a fire and created smoke, and turned the cold pond fish into smoked fish without adding salt, which was convenient for preservation and consumption.

After doing this for a few days, when he was only one stroke away from writing two characters of the Chinese character “正” on the wall, things finally took a turn for the better.

At that time, Xing Xing was chatting with Wei Shiyan by the cold pond, when Wei Shiyan suddenly frowned and pulled Xing Xing to protect him. The two hid behind a huge rock, and Wei Shiyan held a long sword and looked at the cave entrance on the top of the cave vigilantly.

Xingxing saw a rope hanging down from the entrance of the cave.

Xing Xing subconsciously held her breath.

Is this someone chasing here?

That is, I don’t know whether the person coming is an enemy or a friend…

Xingxing couldn't help but touch her waist.

She still had some sleeping pills, which she had wrapped in oil paper. They were not wet and could still be used.

There is no need to consider the wind direction in this cave. Just sprinkle a handful of sleeping pills on them and they should be able to knock down a few of them.

Xingxing was still thinking about the worst-case scenario when she heard a rustling sound from above the cave entrance and saw a person sliding down a rope.

Before the man landed, Xing Xing's eyes widened.

The man had an untidy beard and his eyes were all purple. His hair was as sloppy and vicious as it could be.

He was much thinner than before, and his clothes hung loosely on his body.

But Xingxing still recognized it at a glance.

"It's my fourth brother!"

Xing Xing lowered her voice subconsciously and said happily to Wei Shiyan.

Wei Shiyan heard this and nodded slightly.

Xing Xing ran out happily: "Fourth Brother!"

…

Yu Yonggui didn't want to think about how he had been spending the past few days. He forced himself to stay strong and called in all the spies from Chaoyang Tower in the southwest who could be mobilized. They had been tracking Xingxing's whereabouts these days.

Gradually, I made my foothold on the cliff, then lowered the rope and continued to explore downwards.

This project is huge, and due to the harsh terrain, progress is very slow.

After a long time, Yu Yonggui led his men down here slowly.

When he discovered this cave entrance, Yu Yonggui, who was almost in despair, felt a little hope.

He tied the rope himself, had someone watching from above, and went down into the cave.

Suddenly, Yu Yonggui came down from the sunny outside into this cave. Before he could see clearly what was going on inside the cave, he heard a familiar sweet voice that rang hollow in the cave like a sound from nature: "Fourth Brother!"

Yu Yonggui's heart was beating very fast!

He was afraid that he was hallucinating!

The others were still on the rope, but they were already looking around busily.

Xing Xing was afraid that Yu Yonggui on the rope couldn't see her, so she jumped high and waved her hands, "Fourth brother! I'm down there! Here, here!"

Yu Yonggui finally saw that his sister was fine, standing below, jumping and waving at him!

He didn't care about his safety and quickly descended along the rope. He jumped down in a hurry when he was still quite a distance from the ground.

"Xingxing!" Yu Yonggui ran towards Xingxing, grabbed her shoulders, looked her up and down, and cried and laughed, "You're fine! You're really fine!"

He was so happy that his eyes were red.

Xingxing is fine!

Xing Xing is still alive!

He finally found Xingxing!

Xing Xing's eyes also turned red: "Fourth brother! Are you sick or what? Why do you look so haggard?"

Xing Xing wanted to check Yu Yonggui's pulse again, but Yu Yonggui smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm just anxious! Fortunately you're fine, otherwise I don't know how I would explain to the old and young at home when I go back. They would probably peel off my skin!"

Xing Xing and Yu Yonggui were talking here when Wei Shiyan slowly walked over from the shadows.

When Yu Yonggui saw a figure appear, he subconsciously and cautiously drew the soft blade at his waist.

But when he saw the man's face clearly, he was stunned.

Of course he had seen Wei Shiyan when he was a child. Although several years had passed now, Wei Shiyan had always been outstanding in appearance and unforgettable since he was a child, so Yu Yonggui could still recognize him.

Yu Yonggui looked at Xingxing suspiciously.

Xing Xing nodded happily towards Yu Yonggui: "Yes, it's Brother Yan! He's here too!"

Eight hundred thoughts flashed through Yu Yonggui's mind at once, and he didn't know what to say.

He already knew that the "Master Shi" Shi Yan who lived in the mountains when he was a child was the second prince of Da Xia, Wei Shi Yan.

I can't call him "Brother Shi" like I did when I was a kid.

...Also, the Second Prince and Xing Xing have been alone together in this cave for so many days, has Xing Xing been bullied? !

Yu Yonggui's mind was in a state of confusion.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he still cupped his fist towards Wei Shiyan and said, "Second Prince."

Wei Shiyan returned the greeting: "Fourth Master Yu."

Yu Yonggui didn't expect that Wei Shiyan, who seemed difficult to approach when he was a child, would actually return the favor to him. Yu Yonggui was shocked.

"Your Highness is too polite." Yu Yonggui turned aside and refused the courtesy of the banquet in times of crisis.

"Young Master, is it safe down there?"

From above the cave entrance, a voice of inquiry came from far away.

Yu Yonggui was in a very good mood and replied loudly, "It's safe. The person has been found. You guys should prepare to meet him up there."

"yes!"

Yu Yonggui said to Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan, "This is not the place to talk. My people are waiting outside and will take us upstairs in a while."

Finally able to go out, Xing Xing nodded happily: "Okay... But, Fourth Brother, please wait a moment, I need to take some things out."

Although Yu Yonggui was stunned for a moment, he didn't realize what was worth taking away from here.

But now that Xingxing had just been found, let alone taking some things with her, even if Xingxing told Yu Yonggui that she wanted to sit on the dragon throne, Yu Yonggui would have to rack his brains to figure out how to make it happen for Xingxing.

Yu Yonggui responded immediately: "Okay."
