When Xiao Qingzhi gradually woke up, it was already evening, the faint light of the fire was burning beside him, the heat filled the air, and the burning cave was extraordinarily warm.

Xiao Qingzhi was still in a daze, instinctively grabbed the wet cloth on his forehead, got up slowly, and slid down the clothes that covered him, his body seemed to be still wet, as if someone had just wiped it, and the cold wind blew gently , A coolness hit.

Xiao Qingzhi was startled suddenly, and her consciousness regained consciousness in an instant. As soon as she regained consciousness, she heard a voice: "I woke up in time, my fish has just been roasted."

Mu Ciyue unhurriedly rolled the fish back and forth on the stand, and a sinful aroma entered Xiao Qingzhi's nostrils.Xiao Qingzhi paused, swallowed her mouthful of saliva, and the inconspicuous sense of hunger reached its peak in an instant.

"you……"

Xiao Qingzhi choked after saying a single word, and didn't even notice that she wasn't wearing any clothes. Mu Ciyue was calm and said, "Are you hungry?"

It would be a lie to say that she was not hungry, but she was hungry and unable to speak out, Xiao Qing froze in place, and was so entangled in whether to eat or not for the first time in her life.

Fortunately, Mu Ciyue was very understanding, and said: "Don't struggle with your thoughts, this is for you to eat, you wait a while, let the seasoning taste in, and it will be ready immediately. By the way, you put the Put on your clothes, you have a fever, I helped you deal with it, and accidentally touched your whole body, don't you mind?"

Xiao Qingzhi almost exploded on the spot, but fortunately he controlled his emotions, pursed his lips, glanced at his naked body, his cheeks were slightly red, put on his clothes hastily, walked up to Mu Ciyue, looked at the fire, I wanted to say something like "Are you not hungry?" "Who are you and why are you at the bottom of the cliff?" When it came to my mouth, it became a completely irrelevant sentence: "Where did you get the seasoning?"

Mu Ciyue said casually: "Traveling, of course you have to prepare for these."

"Xiaoyue." Xiao Qingzhi said suddenly, "Do you often live here?"

"Well, yes, the scenery here is beautiful, I like it very much." Mu Ciyue raised her eyes with a smile, and met Xiao Qingzhi's eyes.

The fire light reflected in his eyes, revealing the dark purple pupils, Xiao Qingzhi was obviously taken aback, and blurted out: "Why are your eyes purple?"

As a child, no matter how deep you are, you can't resist a curious heart.

Mu Ciyue chuckled: "I'm born, isn't it good-looking?"

"..." Xiao Qingzhi struggled to speak, "Well...look."

Under the temptation of beauty, Xiao Qingzhi finally told the truth.

Mu Ciyue smiled even more complacently: "I can't help that I am so perfect, that poor teacher...that poor master never praised me for anything, except for my good looks."

"..."

"Hey, the fish is grilled, do you want to try it?"

Xiao Qingzhi took it unconsciously, the surface of the grilled fish was golden, the seasoning was sprinkled layer by layer, and the aroma was really tempting. It is estimated that he rarely eats these wild game, so Xiao Qingzhi took a bite before he could blow it, and the result was It was so hot that I breathed out.

"What are you in a hurry for? I won't fight with you." Mu Ciyue shook her head silently. Really, the royal family's terrible possessiveness?

But when Xiao Qingzhi really took a bite, chewed, and swallowed, Mu Ciyue stuck to it again and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xiao Qingzhi was still reserved: "Well, it's not bad."

Cut, if it’s not bad, are you so anxious to eat?It's delicious if it's delicious, what's wrong with your mouth?Mu Ciyue complained in her heart, but on her face she acted like she was crying bitterly: "It's really not easy to be praised by the prince, I'm so proud!"

"..." Xiao Qingzhi was speechless and chose to continue eating fish.

It was late, and the branches in the cave were burning, and the light of the fire was bright and soft, shining on the faces of the two children.

Mu Ciyue is still very immature on the outside, although her heart has been sharpened a little bit, but in the end she can't get rid of the heart of a child.Mu Ciyue was bored in every possible way, so she could only stare at Xiao Qingzhi's face, as if she wanted to see why.

Although Xiao Qingzhi also has a child's face, but after all, compared to Mu Ciyue's age, his face can already see traces of the future.Mu Ciyue has always had great confidence in his appearance, firmly believing that he must be a handsome man of the popular sect in the future, but he also has to admit that Xiao Qingzhi is also very good-looking.

Not only is it good-looking, it's simply too good-looking.

With such a rare appearance, it would be a pity if his life died halfway.

"By the way, if someone keeps chasing you, do you still want to go back?" Mu Ciyue asked abruptly.

Xiao Qingzhi raised her eyebrows: "What else? Run for your life?"

"That's not okay... Hey, the dignified prince is being chased and killed, your emperor, your father doesn't care?"

"The prince's position was born inexplicably, and the emperor... can't control it."

Mu Ciyue didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she always felt that it seemed inappropriate to continue asking, so she scratched her head: "Then you are alone?"

"Ah."

"Hiss, don't be afraid." Mu Ciyue patted her chest, "I will protect you."

Mu Ciyue is smaller than Xiao Qingzhi, but she vowed to protect him.Xiao Qingzhi was slightly taken aback, wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

This is the first person in the world to say that he wants to protect him. Although it sounds ridiculous and overreaching, it is true.

Protect?So what is protection?Giving him power and status like his father, endless glory is protection?Or a child younger than him, said to him: "I protect you." Is this protection?

Probably seeing the mockery in Xiao Qingzhi's eyes, Mu Ciyue was extremely unconvinced, and said on the spot: "Don't believe me, I can definitely protect you, when I sit in the position of the young master... Once you have the ability, no one will be able to bully you again." Mu Ciyue gritted her teeth and emphasized, "The royal family can't do it either."

"Why are you telling me these things?" Xiao Qingzhi said suddenly, "I don't deserve you to swear like this because of a one-sided relationship. A man's oath cannot be made casually."

Mu Ciyue said loudly: "This is not casual, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart, and I have never said this to others."

Xiao Qingzhi shook her head, and only repeated those four words: "Fate on one side."

"What's wrong with the relationship?" Mu Ciyue said unconvinced, "One side is one side, I just want to protect you, does this have something to do with knowing time? It's the first time I want to protect someone, can you cherish me Feelings?"

"Emotion?" Xiao Qing was puzzled.

"Cough." Mu Ciyue grasped the key words, leaned over, and pretended to be mysterious, "Actually, the first time I saw you, I thought of a word."

"what?"

"Deep love."

"..."

At that time, Mu Ciyue didn't know what the word meant, but it was not difficult to use it according to the gourd painting.Xiao Qingzhi naturally didn't know, but it sounded a little panicky.

For a while, there was silence in the cave.

Mu Ciyue blindly used a word that she didn't know the meaning of. What she got was silence. It was a little awkward, and she took the initiative to break the silence and said, "You have to go back? Even if you know that your life will be threatened."

"Because I am the prince." Xiao Qing insisted.

On that day, the nine-year-old Mu Ciyue felt for the first time that he was too immature, or that he was used to doing whatever he wanted. Anyway, he didn't have any burden on him, and he did everything according to his own ideas. The word "carrying a heavy burden" , He hasn't experienced it yet, so he can't understand it.

"Hmm..." Mu Ciyue looked out of the cave, "It's getting dark now, even if you rush back, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Xiao Qingzhi naturally understood and didn't refute any more. There is no way forward or backward at the bottom of such a cliff. If he wants to go forward, he can only climb up with his hands and feet.

"How long will it take to climb up?"

"I want two or three days by myself, you..."

"It's okay, there's time, Father's birthday is three days away, I have to be there, three days, enough." Xiao Qingzhi finished the last bite of fish.

"Your wound... your father won't ask?"

"No, I've been injured so many times anyway, so it's nothing unusual." Xiao Qingzhi lowered his head and said, "You saved me, what reward do you want?"

How dare you ask for a reward, don't sue me after returning to the palace, and I will kowtow to you!

"Uh, saving the life of the Crown Prince is my duty, and it is my honor. How dare you talk about the reward?" Mu Ciyue thought that her attitude was very decent, even if she actually had a small expectation in her heart, she still perfectly concealed it. go down.

Xiao Qing has always said that one is one and that two is two. Since others have said that there is no need for remuneration, there is no need to force it.

So, Xiao Qingzhi said quietly: "Alright, then I won't give it."

Mu Ciyue: "..."

Even if you don't expect to give it, this tone is too chilling, right?

"Actually, if you really want to give it, I'm not... unacceptable." Mu Ciyue whispered.

Xiao Qingzhi didn't hear it, threw the fish bones and wooden branches on the ground, shook his hands and said: "Let's rest first, we will leave early tomorrow morning."

Mu Ciyue picked up the wet cloth that had fallen on the ground a long time ago, threw it to Xiao Qing, and said, "You should sleep lightly tonight, and don't catch a cold, otherwise if you have a fever, you won't be able to crawl tomorrow! Wipe your hands and rest well .”

Xiao Qing pinched the fabric and rubbed it: "Where did you get this fabric?"

"I tore it on my clothes." Are you still tearing your clothes?Hey, my little sister-in-law, your clothes are too precious, I can't afford to tear them off.

Xiao Qingzhi obviously paused for a moment. Indeed, for the royal family, it is really impossible to tear their clothes and use them to dry their hands.

Mu Ciyue rubbed her temples and said, "Can you do it tomorrow? Your wound is not serious, is it okay?"

"No problem."

"Have you ever suffered?"

He doesn't care about wounds. It seems that he is often injured, probably because he is often hunted down and left outside, but he has no life experience, like the young master of some family, who has never tasted hardships.

Tsk, it's so complicated.

Mu Ciyue gestured and said, "We're going to climb up slowly along the vines. When it's getting dark, we'll go to the cave in the cliff to rest for a night. This is your first time climbing a cliff, so you probably don't have much experience. Slow down." You can be slow, but you can’t miss it, otherwise, you know the consequences, right?”
