The next day, Yang Cui woke up from the cold. Even though it was summer, it was still quite cold in the morning on the mountain due to the strong wind and heavy dew.
When she woke up, she saw the short man bring her a bowl of rice and a basket of boiled eggs, probably about thirty.
Yang Cui guessed that he had gone down the mountain to a farmhouse and had someone specially cook for him, but she didn't know if he had been paid.
Without a bowl, Xia Yunfeng grabbed food directly with his hands after washing them. At that moment, all traces of nobility and elegance vanished.
After taking a couple of bites himself, he asked the guards to share.
Presumably because they hadn't eaten much rice during their escape, the group started scrambling for it, and soon the bowl of rice was empty.
Yang Cui didn't join in the fun, mainly because she knew she couldn't win even if she tried, so she decided to stay quietly to the side.
After they finished eating, they threw the bowl aside and started dividing the eggs. Yang Cui, who was a hostage and prisoner, didn't even get a single eggshell.
Then it was time to get back on the road.
They had to traverse mountains and valleys again. If this continued, he feared he would die before he even received reinforcements.
Yang Cui couldn't understand what Xia Yunfeng was scheming or plotting.
Could it be that someone is waiting for him in the mountains?
"Ah!" Lost in thought, Yang Cui didn't notice and slipped, tumbling down the hillside.
Xia Yunfeng looked disgusted: "You're really useless. Go and drag her up here."
Jia Lin ran down and pulled Yang Cui up. Suddenly, Yang Cui felt something in her hand and was surprised: Jia Lin had secretly given her an egg!
What does he mean? Wasn't he utterly loyal to Xia Yunfeng? Would he rather flee, would rather go to another country, than be bought off by him?
How come now...
Yang Cui discreetly hid the eggs and, with Jia Lin's help, climbed back up the hillside.
Thankfully, she hadn't sprained her ankle, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to walk, and Xia Yunfeng would definitely have killed her. Yang Cui secretly rejoiced.
The midday sun was scorching, but luckily they came across a water source, and the group rested by the water.
Yang Cui was hungry, thirsty, and very sleepy, mainly because she hadn't slept well the night before. She washed her face with spring water, scooped up some water and drank a few mouthfuls, which made her feel much better.
Xia Yunfeng and the others all had eggs on them, and now they were eating the eggs with spring water, enjoying them immensely.
Yang Cui touched the eggs in her arms, wanting to eat them, but she didn't dare, afraid of being discovered.
Having not eaten anything since morning and not knowing when her next meal would be, Yang Cui made an excuse that she needed to use the restroom and secretly ate the eggs.
After you finish eating, quickly wipe your mouth clean so that no one can tell anything.
Just as she got up to leave, Xia Yunfeng suddenly appeared behind her, startling Yang Cui.
He probably didn't find anything, right?
His eyes roamed over Yang Cui, who immediately sensed something was wrong and instinctively backed away.
Xia Yunfeng stared at her full breasts and stepped forward.
What do you want to do?
"Of course I want to do you!" With that, he lunged at her.
God knows how much he wanted to possess Yang Cui when he saw her bending over to drink water and wash her face, when he saw her stunning profile and beautiful swan neck.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"Obey me obediently, and when I rise again, you'll still have a chance to become my concubine, ah..."
Without hesitation, Yang Cui pulled out the dagger from her body and stabbed it hard into his lower back!
Xia Yunfeng hadn't even finished speaking when he let out a scream.
"You bitch! You're asking for death!" Xia Yunfeng slapped Yang Cui across the face. At this moment, there was no affection in his eyes, only murderous intent!
Before Yang Cui could make another move, Xia Yunfeng grabbed her right hand and took away her weapon!
"I truly underestimated you! You actually had weapons hidden away!"
Xia Yunfeng didn't even think about the source of Yang Cui's weapon! He simply assumed that Yang Cui had hidden it on her person all along.
His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and just as the dagger was about to pierce Yang Cui's chest, at that moment...
