It was getting late, and they had to spend the night here. Nan Yan went outside to pick up a lot of firewood and piled it at the entrance of the cave for easy use at night.
Nan Yan sat at the entrance of the cave, watching Taxue eating grass obediently nearby. She touched her stomach and found that she was hungry too.
At this time, Nan Yan saw a pheasant foraging on the ground not far away. Her eyes lit up, and she picked up the bow and arrow beside her, aimed, drew her bow and shot.
Whoosh! The pheasant fell to the ground.
Nan Yan's face lit up with joy, she actually hit the target!
She picked up the pheasant and put it in the cave, hiding beside a big tree near the cave entrance, waiting for the opportunity.
She was lucky enough to shoot a pheasant and a rabbit, and also found some wild fruit that could be used to satisfy her hunger, make juice, and roast meat.
Nan Yan had killed chickens and fish herself in modern times, so dealing with these wild animals was no problem for her.
She found the small dagger that Shang Yue carried with him and took a pheasant to the lake to deal with it.
A fire was lit at the entrance of the cave, and the pheasant was roasted with the juice of wild fruits.
She only had breakfast today and she was so hungry that she finished the whole pheasant.
After eating, she checked Shang Yue's wound and found that the bleeding had stopped.
She sat at the entrance of the cave, looking at the dense trees outside, and asked, "Tongzi, is the assassin chasing us?"
[They lost the clue when they were chasing us, and went in the wrong direction, so they won’t be able to find us for a while.]
Nan Yan was so grateful for the existence of the system, otherwise her life would be over here in a minute.
When the sky began to darken, Nan Yan added some firewood to the fire at the entrance of the cave, then snuggled up to the man and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Nan Yan was awakened by the warmth of the man's body.
She tested the temperature of the man's forehead and her face darkened, "It's so hot!"
She quickly got up, heated the water in the clay pot, and used the warm water to wipe his body to cool him down.
Shang Yue opened his eyes dazedly and soon fainted again.
By the time the man's temperature slowly dropped, it was almost dawn outside.
Nan Yan was so tired that she fell asleep beside him.
In the early morning, Shang Yue woke up. Looking at the dark sky above his head, his face changed, and he stood up suddenly, accidentally pulling the wound on his shoulder.
"Hmm~" He groaned in pain and supported his left shoulder with his right hand.
When his eyes fell on Nan Yan who was standing beside him, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope Yan'er is okay.
He got off the wooden bed and realized that this was a cave. He lost too much blood yesterday and fainted. He didn't know how Yan'er found this cave.
The fire at the entrance of the cave had turned to ashes.
Shang Yue came out of the cave. Taxue at the entrance of the cave's eyes lit up and he rubbed against Shang Yue's side.
Shang Yue touched Taxue's head. It helped a lot yesterday.
He took his hand back, pulled out a whistle from the side, raised it to the sky and pressed it. Instantly, a stream of yellow-brown smoke shot straight into the sky.
Then he returned to the cave, sat beside the bed, and looked at Nan Yan silently.
Nan Yan woke up and saw the man beside the bed. She subconsciously said, "You're awake!" Suddenly she thought of something, opened her eyes abruptly, stood up, and asked nervously, "Ayue, how is your injury?"
She thought she was in the palace just now!
"I'm much better now, Yan'er, thank you." Shang Yue looked gentle and raised his right hand to hold Nan Yan in his arms.
He woke up in a daze in the middle of the night last night, and when he saw Yan'er wiping his body to cool him down, no one knew how touched he was at that moment.
Nan Yan leaned in his arms and said softly, "Why are you thanking me? If I have to thank you, I should thank you for protecting me! If it wasn't for protecting me, you wouldn't have been hurt."
"So why are we being so polite to each other? No need to say thank you."
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at the man. His handsome face looked a little pale but there was no trace of embarrassment on it.
"Okay, we won't say thank you to each other." Shang Yue slowly tightened his arms around her.
In the small cave, there is infinite warmth.
After a while, Nan Yan felt a little hungry, so she gently pushed Shang Yue and pointed to the cave entrance and said, "Ayue, let me go first. I'll roast the chicken and rabbit I shot yesterday."
Shang Yue let go of the woman and looked at the things at the entrance of the cave with a surprised look on his face, "Yan'er, did you shoot the chicken and rabbit at the entrance of the cave?"
He had just seen the thing at the entrance of the hole, and was still wondering how Yan'er caught it! He didn't expect that it was her who shot it.
Nan Yan raised her head with a proud look on her face, "You didn't expect it! I'm a good candidate for archery."
Shang Yue smiled and gently touched her head, "Well, you are gifted and you learn things quickly."
Nan Yan felt a little embarrassed by what he said, so she looked away and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I'm starving to death."
Nan Yan took Shang Yue to the lake, where they washed up and prepared the chickens and rabbits.
Shang Yue couldn't use force with his left hand. When he saw Nan Yan handling the rabbit and chicken very skillfully, he asked in surprise: "Yan'er, how do you handle these?"
Nan Yan paused, then smiled and said, "Didn't you say that I am gifted and can learn anything quickly? When I returned to the capital, I saw the guards handle it, and I learned it."
Shang Yue didn't doubt anything. In his mind, Nan Yan was a gifted person.
He always knew that Nan Yan was not the kind of weak woman who needed protection all the time.
But from yesterday to today, he was still shocked when he saw her bringing him to the cave after he fainted, treating his wounds and cooling him down, and shooting and disposing of prey.
He felt that she seemed to have countless sides, and each side attracted him deeply.
His eyes were filled with love as he looked at Nan Yan.
After processing the pheasants and rabbits, they returned to the cave and roasted the rabbits and pheasants.
Nan Yan ate a rabbit leg and two chicken legs, and the rest were taken care of by Shang Yue. After all, he hadn't eaten for a day and a night.
Just after finishing eating, Shang Yue paused, glanced outside the cave, and said with a serious face: "Yan'er, you hide in the cave, I'll go out and take a look."
He heard many footsteps coming this way. If it weren't for the Royal Guards, he couldn't guarantee to protect Yan'er. He could lead them away first.
Looking at his expression, Nan Yan also thought that someone might have come.
[Tongzi, is there someone outside?]
[The Imperial Guards are here. ]
When Nan Yan learned that they were the Imperial Guards, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Shang Yue.
Shang Yue was worried about Nan Yan, so he told her, "Yan'er, no matter what happens, don't come out. Wait for me to find you."
"it is good."
Nan Yan only felt a warm current flowing from her heart to her limbs in an instant, and her whole body felt warm.
Shang Yue left the cave and came back soon.
"Yan'er, Wuyou is here with the Imperial Guards. Let's go."
He reached out his hand to Nan Yan, who took his hand, held it tightly, and followed him out of the cave. Outside the cave stood a dense crowd of imperial guards, and the two rode on the snow and walked down the mountain.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. After going down the mountain, Nan Yan and Shang Yue got on the carriage.
"Your Majesty, are we going back to the imperial palace or the temporary palace?" Wuyou's voice came from outside.
Shang Yue looked at Nan Yan, and Nan Yan said, "Let's go back to the palace!"
This assassination attempt was obviously aimed at the two of them. Assassinating the emperor is a big deal, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated.
Moreover, not everyone can enter the back mountain of the palace.
This place is more than a hundred miles away from the capital, and at night they stayed in a county town they passed by.
We arrived in the capital city the next afternoon.
