The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

But at this moment, his stomach started to growl. Cheng Youning felt a little embarrassed and explained, "As the ancients said, 'Don't eat when you are extremely hungry, and don't eat too much; don't drink when you are extremely thirsty, and don't drink too much.' So, although I am a little hungry now, I am not to the point where I have to eat. This is just right."

The man was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that a hungry person would refuse food and drink like this: "Do you know medicine?"

Cheng Youning said very sincerely: "I don't understand, not even half of it."

The man smiled and continued, "I see you don't understand. The saying 'Don't eat when you are extremely hungry' really tells us that you should never wait until you are about to faint from hunger before you think of eating. Since you are hungry, why do you still want to hold on? Come over and eat the sesame cake!"

Cheng Youning still shook his head, refusing to accept Yan Shizhao's kindness, and said stubbornly, "I'm not hungry."

"Are you afraid that I will poison you?" the man asked Cheng Youning with a smile.

Cheng Youning replied with a serious face: "My family always taught me that being cautious can help you catch a cicada, and being careful can help you sail a long way. Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I'd better not eat this food."

Seeing Cheng Youning so alert, the man knew that he had a companion, so he stopped forcing him and said kindly, "If that's the case, forget it. But, aren't you tired of standing all the time? Come and sit down by the fire. You must be cold."

Hearing this, Cheng Youning hesitated for a moment, then cautiously took a few steps forward, but he never sat down. He just stood there straight, with a conflicted look on his face, as if he wanted to sit down but was afraid of hurting his butt.

Seeing this, Yan Shizhao, who was standing opposite the fire, couldn't help but ask, "Is the wound on your butt serious?"

Cheng Youning was startled and subconsciously asked, "How do you know I have a wound on my butt?"

Yan Shizhao smiled slightly and explained: "I can tell from the way you walked just now."

It turned out that Cheng Youning had been deliberately concealing his physical discomfort when he took those few steps just now, because he didn't want a stranger to know too much about his true condition. Unfortunately, the eyes of the person in front of him were too sharp, and even such a deliberate cover-up was still easily seen through by him. But even so, Cheng Youning still pretended to be calm and continued to cover up: "It's nothing serious, just a little injury, it's not serious."

In order to make this person believe what he said, he sat opposite this person without hesitation.

Seeing Cheng Youning's behavior, the man felt that the child was too alert. In order to relax the child who had a high fever and was still on guard against him, the man started chatting with him. Hearing his voice, he said, "I don't know your name yet?"

All I heard was Cheng Youning's crisp reply: "My name is Cheng Youning!"

Seeing that Cheng Youning was still willing to tell him his name, but not knowing whether it was true or not, the man deliberately asked, "What are those words?"

Cheng Youning explained seriously: "My name is taken from the meaning of 'blessings will always return, and peace and tranquility will always be there.'"

After hearing this, the man couldn't help but blurt out: "Oh? So it's such a good name!"

"My mother took it."

"Then your mother must be a lady from a wealthy family, right?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Youning couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little, "My mother was born in the countryside, not a lady from a rich family."

This person was obviously skeptical of Cheng Youning's words and continued to ask, "Since your mother is just a country girl, what about your father?"

Cheng Youning answered slowly, "My father also came from the countryside. He and my mother grew up in the same village. When he was young, my father made a living by hunting. He was a hunter."

After hearing this, the man showed a suspicious look on his face and said, "But it doesn't look like it."

In response, Cheng Youning seemed very calm and responded casually: "Many people say so, but my parents are ordinary people."

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the quiet cave entrance, and a voice shouted from afar: "Young Master, I'm back!"

Hearing this familiar shout, Cheng Youning stood up quickly and responded loudly: "Qiao Rong!"

Then, Qiao Rong was seen striding into the cave with a large bundle of firewood in his arms.

After entering the cave, Qiao Rong immediately saw a strange figure sitting around the fire. He immediately became alert and asked suspiciously, "Who is this person?"

Cheng Youning said: "Yan Shizhao, is he the owner of this cave?"

After hearing this, Qiao Rong nodded slightly to Yan Shizhao as a greeting, and then gently placed the firewood in his arms on the ground. Then, he grabbed Cheng Youning's hand and asked in a low voice: "Before we came in, I checked this cave carefully, and I didn't find any signs that anyone had lived here."

Cheng Youning pointed to a corner in the cave and said softly, "There is a secret compartment there. His things should be hidden in it."

Qiao Rong looked in the direction Cheng Youning pointed, and he understood the reason. Then he leaned close to Cheng Youning's ear and whispered, "Did he do anything to you?"

Cheng Youning quickly shook his head and replied, "I was worried that you would get anxious if you couldn't find me, so I didn't dare to leave here."

Qiao Rong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still reached out and touched Cheng Youning's forehead worriedly, and said worriedly: "Young Master, why do you feel so hot? Are you having a fever?" As he spoke, he put the back of his hand against Cheng Youning's cheek to feel the temperature.

Cheng Youning's face was slightly red, and his forehead was burning hot, but he himself did not notice anything unusual. He just shook his head and said, "Maybe he has been roasting the fire for too long. This cave is cold, you should roast the fire too."

Qiao Rong had just come back from collecting firewood and was sweating profusely, not even bothering to wipe his sweat. He asked with concern, "Shall I help you apply the medicine first, young master?

Cheng Youning blinked at Qiao Rong with his watery eyes and said, "It's not a serious injury. Let's sit down and wait for the results."

After saying that, because he was too cold, Cheng Youning involuntarily went back to sit next to the campfire, and Qiao Rong had no choice but to sit down with him.

At this moment, Qiao Rong's eyes happened to fall on Yan Shizhao who was chewing the sesame cake slowly. Seeing this, he lowered his voice and asked Cheng Youning beside him: "Young Master, are you hungry?"

Cheng Youning still insisted, "I'm not hungry." But his stomach kept growling.

Qiao Rong quickly took out a water bag and handed it over, and gently comforted Cheng Youning, saying, "Drink some water first, you will be able to come back soon with courage."
