Awan was awakened by the aroma of barbecue.
She moved her nose and slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the dark mountain top illuminated by the firelight.
Awan suddenly sat up, not knowing what she was thinking about. When she saw the young man sitting in front of the fire opposite her safely, Awan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously: "A Chong, what are you roasting?!"
When the young man saw Awan wake up, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips. In the light of the fire, he looked handsome and unruly.
"I'm roasting a chicken, a stupid little chicken."
Awan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was about to stand up in a hurry, but she sat back down because of a headache.
Ah Chong immediately stopped what he was doing, walked quickly to Ah Wan's side, and helped her sit down: "You are injured and haven't healed yet, don't move."
Awan covered her head, feeling anxious and angry. "That's not a stupid chicken, that's Cheng Huang. How could you roast and eat Master Cheng Huang's cub?"
"Chirp, chirp!" Suddenly, I felt a furry touch beside my hand.
Awan was stunned and turned her head to look. Isn’t this the young Huang beast that she had rescued from the crevice of the mountain with great difficulty?
The little guy rubbed Awan's palm affectionately and called out happily several times.
"No, isn't it roasted?" Awan looked at A Chong strangely.
The boy rubbed his nose and said in a tone that was a little weak: "I told you it was a stupid chicken. It was probably a wild pheasant that came in to avoid the snow because the wind was too strong outside."
Awan: ...
When Ah Chong saw Xiao Cheng Huang for the first time, he called her "stupid little chicken". It's no wonder she wanted to be biased, right?
There was a snowstorm and both of them had their clothes wet, so they sat by the fire to warm themselves.
It’s just that they had been arguing and in a cold war for a long time before, and now they are suddenly sitting together, the atmosphere is a bit weird.
Ah Chong tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Ah Wan: "Try it."
Awan took it and said, "Thank you."
There was another long silence.
A Chong watched A Wan finish a chicken leg and quickly handed her another one.
Awan held up her hand to refuse: "Don't give it all to me, eat it too."
Ah Chong shook his head: "I don't like it."
Awan: ...
Seeing Awan's bad face, A Chong suddenly realized something. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. In the end, he could only say: "I'm sorry."
A Wan sighed and said, "A Chong, I hope we can be honest with each other. Whether you are happy or sad, like or dislike me, you can tell me frankly."
There was red in A Chong's eyes.
He was taught by his parents since he was a child that if he could make money and gain other people's trust by talking, why not do it?
He was forced to lie and cheat. At first, he cheated for a bun and an egg, and later it became tolls and life-saving money. He couldn't bear it, but he returned empty-handed and was beaten and whipped by his parents.
Until lying became a part of his life.
He didn't want to lie to anyone, so he chose to remain silent most of the time, and didn't even care if he was considered a mute.
Until I met Awan.
"I don't want to..." Ah Chong whispered softly.
"I know." Awan responded.
The boy's tears suddenly rolled down. If possible, he hoped that this was the last time he lied to Awan.
After talking, there was no longer any barrier between the two young men. After eating and drinking, they began to think about how to return to Baiyu Village.
Awan suggested going out to find a way down the mountain, while A Chong suggested waiting for rescue here.
Awan did what she said. She walked to the entrance of the cave and pushed the stone hard, but the stone didn't move at all.
A Chong was also startled, and then came to the entrance of the cave. He reached out and pushed it, but it still didn't move.
A Chong and A Wan looked at each other.
Oh no!
The wind and snow were so strong that they blocked the entrance to the cave. In this way, even if the rescue team came, they would probably not know that they were in the cave.
Moreover, the cave is not big, and the air will soon be exhausted. By then, no one will be able to help you!
Awan paced back and forth anxiously, but saw that A Chong did not seem worried. Instead, he sat back by the fire, picked up a branch, and wrote and drew on the ground.
"A Chong, aren't you anxious? Aren't you worried that we will die here together?" A Wan asked curiously.
A Chong paused slightly in his movements. A Wan didn't know if it was an illusion, but she saw the corners of the boy's lips slightly raised, but it disappeared in a flash.
"Your mother is so powerful, she will definitely find us." A Chong said.
After saying that, the air was silent for a moment.
Awan blinked, her cheeks slightly flushed. "So you heard it all. I called the princess mother."
A Chong looked up at A Wan, then looked away and nodded.
Awan tilted her head in surprise. Logically, she should be shy about such things, but why did A Chong look more embarrassed than her?
Although she knew that her mother would definitely find a way to save her, she knew better than anyone how strong the wind and snow were outside, and she was also worried that her mother would go into danger to save her.
If she could return safely, her mother wouldn't have to take any risks.
Here, A Chong stopped waving the branch, and there was obviously a map on the ground.
He poked the branch at one of the points on the map and said faintly, "This is where we are."
Hearing this, the three evil spirits sent by Shen Ruoxi to investigate the situation looked at each other.
"This kid, is he talking to us?"
"He didn't even look at us. He probably couldn't see us."
"Then who did he draw this map for?"
"Perhaps it was painted for his own eyes?"
The young man frowned. The food was right in front of his mouth, but he refused to eat!
He had just seen these three evil spirits floating in from outside, and thought they were the souls of the soldiers from the Southern Camp. After listening to them chatting for a while, he realized that they were actually sent by Shen Ruoxi.
I just didn't expect that my brain doesn't seem to be working well...
The three evil spirits argued for a while, and finally remembered the important matter and began to memorize the map.
She cried while reciting the mantra: "Wow, if only Brother Youri were still here!"
Ah Chong: ...
Awan on the other side naturally still couldn't find a way to move the big rock away. Finally, she couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep leaning on the big rock.
Ah Chong watched the three evil spirits leave muttering something, and he breathed a sigh of relief. With Shen Ruoxi's ability, he would definitely be able to find a way to rescue them.
He tiptoed to the entrance of the cave, picked up the girl and placed her on the soft haystack to continue sleeping.
Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, A Chong pursed his lips and frowned.
This might be the last time they get along like this.
He is content to have so many beautiful memories.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, the bonfire was making crackling sounds, and the two young men were sleeping soundly when they heard a loud noise beside their ears, and then the whole cave began to shake.
Ah Chong suddenly woke up. He put his ear to the mountain wall, his eyes suddenly widened, and he uttered a few words with difficulty: "This is impossible!"
"Awan, Awan, wake up quickly, this cave is about to collapse!"
