There was less than half of the water left in the bladder.

Mu Rong handed it to Xu Rongrong.

Xu Rongrong shook the water bag gently, hesitated for a while, and handed it back: "I'm not thirsty."

Mu Rong looked at her. After a night's rest, Xu Rongrong's face had regained some color and was no longer as pale as last night.

Just the scratch on his cheek reminded him of the danger he experienced last night.

He subconsciously raised his hand and brushed Xu Rongrong's hair away from his forehead: "You can drink. I am out all the time and know where to find water."

"The water in the mountains is poisonous." Xu Rongrong reminded.

"It doesn't matter. The Yuhe River can flow through the whole city and eventually merge into Guangtong Canal. There won't be only one water source." He comforted, "What's more, it's already dawn, and we can follow the road at the bottom of the cliff to go out."

Xu Rongrong looked at Mu Rong's arm: "But the injury on your right hand..."

When she was bandaging him last night, the shocking wound frightened her. There was no suitable medicine at the bottom of the cliff, so she had to deal with it hastily.

Mu Rong waved his right hand: "It doesn't matter. What's more, it's too deep here and the sun can't get in. It's not suitable to stay for a long time."

"If we don't go back for a day, Chuhe will definitely find a way to find us. Just wait here." Xu Rongrong said.

But she didn't expect that the word Chuhe would immediately stir up Mu Rong's heartstrings, and he frowned.

Using his good left hand, he held Xu Rongrong in his arms: "Don't wait for him, I'll take you out!"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Sure enough, what Mu Rong said was right.

The higher the sun rises, the colder it becomes at the bottom of the cliff.

The cold wind swarmed down the cliff and shuttled unscrupulously in the thin line of sky at the bottom of the cliff.

Xu Rongrong subconsciously hugged her arms.

Seeing this, Mu Rong took off his cloak and put it on her body.

Xu Rongrong raised her eyes and met his eyes. There was a smile in his eyes, hiding indescribable tenderness and sweetness.

Such a look made her lose consciousness for a moment.

This was exactly what she had been looking forward to for five years in her previous life. During those lonely days and nights in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, she had hoped countless times that one morning, afternoon or evening, he would appear in her with such tenderness. before.

But, it never happened.

What's funny is that now, it's everywhere.

Now she no longer has any thoughts about him.

Xu Rongrong lowered his head, hugged the medicine bag tightly in his arms, and said nothing.

Seeing her silence, the light in Mu Rong's eyes extinguished inch by inch.

He sighed almost inaudibly.

Take a few steps quickly to explore the way ahead.

Seeing his tall back gradually disappearing, Xu Rongrong sighed softly.

What Mu Rong said was true. After he stepped on the soft wetland, he expected that there must be a water source nearby.

After pursuing it all the way, I found a small spring in a circle of falling rocks.

Just as he was about to pass, Xu Rongrong stopped him: "Be careful of the poison."

Mu Rong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. This is just a small spring. It cannot flow into the Yu River. No one will poison it here."

He lowered his head and took a few sips, then raised his eyes and said, "I have tested it, don't worry."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

……

The road at the bottom of the cliff is gentle.

Dead leaves were everywhere, making a rustling sound when stepped on.

I didn’t feel too tired when I walked.

Just like this, they unknowingly crossed the line of sky at the bottom of the cliff and stood under the sun again.

Xu Rongrong stretched out his hands and let out a long sigh of relief.

Once you get out of here, it won't take long to get down the mountain.

Her heart relaxed, she turned her head and caught a glimpse of Mu Rong's slightly tired face.

Just as he was about to speak, a loud voice came from the distance: "Look! Over there..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came from the sky and was about to land in front of Xu Rongrong.

But the next moment, Mu Rong jumped up and blocked the figure.

"Get out of the way." Chu He lowered his voice.

Mu Rong looked at him coldly, refusing to give in even an inch.

During the stalemate between the two, Xu Rongrong trotted over. When she saw Chu He, her eyebrows curved: "You're here!"

Mu Rong: "..." The chill around him wrinkled.

Xu Rongrong's look made Chuhe's heart warm. He glanced at Mu Rong, then nodded with a smile: "You haven't come back all night. We don't have enough manpower to find you as soon as possible. Wen Yao then came up with a way. , she used the name of the county lord to order Yuzhou Prefecture to send out all the government officials to search the mountain."

"Then if she is the county head, I..." Xu Rongrong asked.

"You are her personal maid." Chu He replied.

Xu Rongrong smiled and rolled his eyes: "As expected of me, he has so many clever ideas!"

Chu He looked at the scratches on her face and neck: "You are injured."

Xu Rongrong subconsciously touched his face and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, go back and apply some medicine to get better."

Seeing her talking and laughing towards Chuhe, Mu Rong felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

He moved his right arm and took a breath of cold air.

Hearing the movement, Xu Rongrong just came back to her senses.

She came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Rong glanced at Chu He, and then squeezed out a hint of bitterness from the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."

Seeing his brows furrowed, he was obviously trying his best to endure the pain.

Xu Rongrong lowered his head and unwrapped the layer of bark wrapping his arm for him.

Although the ointment had dried up and turned black, the wound was already clotting with blood. She frowned and said, "Isn't it better already? Why does it suddenly hurt?"

Mu Rong saw that he was about to be exposed, so he could only say: "Maybe I bumped into him when I was walking."

The sky is narrow and deep, and there are rugged rocks on both sides of the road, so it is not impossible.

So Xu Rongrong no longer had any doubts and nodded: "It's better to go down the mountain and return to the city as soon as possible. Your wound needs to be bandaged properly."

While the three of them were talking, officials from a distance rushed over.

"My dear, the girl next to the county master is even more beautiful than her."

"It's a pity, my face was scratched."

"Look at the magnificence of his whole body... He is worthy of being the person next to the county lord."

"..."

Hearing this, Mu Rong stood in front of Xu Rongrong displeasedly: "How presumptuous!"

The leading officer heard this and raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?"

At this time, it is no wonder that others cannot recognize Mu Rong. His cloak is wrapped around Xu Rongrong, and he is only wearing ordinary clothes at this time.

His head and face were covered in dust, and his arms were wrapped with strange tree bark.

No matter where you look, no one can think of Weiyuan Hou of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, the police will naturally not take him seriously.

Just as Mu Rong was about to scold him, Chu He lowered his voice beside him: "Does the Marquis want to blow up his identity?"

The dignified marquis spent the night under Yushan Mountain with the county lord's "personal maid".

They were also seen standing together so closely.

If this matter spreads, how should others see him and Xu Rongrong?

Mu Rong's eyes were dark. He put away the momentum that he had almost suddenly gained and said, "I am the bodyguard of the county lord."

Little guard and little maid...

The officials showed a look of understanding.
