After gathering some firewood, hunting a hare, and cleaning up the traces of her activities, Gao Wenyan returned to the cave.

After lighting the fire, Chu Xu's expression finally changed slightly.

Perhaps because he was born into a family of military commanders, Gao Wenyan had not cared much about the defense of men and women since he was a child. She carefully took off Chu Xu's coat and set it up on a rack to dry.

Although Chu Xu was only wearing his inner clothes, the clothes were wet and stuck to his skin. Not to mention that he was still having a fever, even the wound couldn't help but be soaked like this.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Wenyan finally reached out and took off his inner clothes. As she expected, although Chu Xu looked sick every time she saw him, the lines under his clothes were strong and strong.

The wound was on his left shoulder. He had already pulled out the arrow and threw it aside, leaving only a hole that had been soaked and turned white.

Gao Wenyan took off her robe to cover him, fed him some water, and then began to roast her rabbit.

She learned the skill of roasting rabbits from her elder brother. She had been to the military camp several times, and Gao Wenxi would take her hunting in the mountains when he had free time. He was also teaching her survival skills if she was unfortunate enough to be in trouble.

When Chu Xu woke up, there was only one roasted rabbit leg left.

Gao Wenyan held the rabbit leg and was about to bite it off. When he saw him looking at her intently, he couldn't help but move and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

"want."

He was really rude.

Chu Xu couldn't use any strength, so Gao Wenyan had no choice but to tear off the rabbit meat piece by piece and put it to his mouth.

After eating the rabbit legs, Chu Xu regained some energy, looked at the hung clothes, and said with a smile: "The girl is real, she doesn't stick to trivial matters."

"The situation is critical and there are many offenses."

Chu Xu smiled when he heard this. According to current customs, everyone agreed that the woman would suffer the loss, but Gao Wenyan felt that she was the one who was offended.

So he chuckled and said: "Thanks to the girl for saving me, why should I offend you?"

The temperature in the mountains is no better than outside. Even though it is June, Gao Wenyan still feels a bit cold after nightfall.

Chu Xu was on fire again. Gao Wenyan, who had no experience in taking care of others, was squatting in front of him, helpless.

He opened his eyes slightly, smiled reassuringly, gently grabbed her hand, and said, "Cold."

Gao Wenyan followed the force and sat next to him. The two of them were closer together. It was indeed much warmer than one person.

Judging from this situation, I will probably spend the night in a cave. After not returning home all night, the family must be in a panic. Gao Wenyan can already imagine Mrs. Gao's anger.

She looked at the people around her. Even though she had fallen asleep, Chu Xu still held her wrist. Gao Wenyan wanted to take his hand out, but when he lowered his head, he saw that his face was as pale as paper, and he was so weak that he seemed to be about to break into pieces in the next moment.

She pursed her lips, letting him go after all.

I touched his hand lightly with the back of my hand, and it was indeed ice cold. So Gao Wenyan kindly pulled his robe over a little and covered some of his exposed hands.

In her previous life, she never imagined that one day, she and Chu Xu would hide in a small cave to keep each other warm.

At night, Chu Xu coughed up blood again, and Gao Wenyan was helpless. Now neither of them could find a piece of clothing that was not stained with blood.

Chu Xu fell asleep drowsily on her shoulder, but Gao Wenyan was not sleepy at all. She played with the small dagger she carried with her, and the flames flew wildly in the wind, reflecting the countless thoughts that flashed through her mind.

At dawn, Zhixing finally found them.

"Stop, wait outside."

Hearing Chu Xu's hoarse voice, Gao Wenyan realized that he had already woken up.

Chu Xu let go of his hand, and Gao Wenyan suddenly felt a chill on his wrist.

He put his robe back on Gao Wenyan and turned around to put on his own clothes. After a night of baking, the robe was warm, but the dried blood stains were still eye-catching.

He had rested. Gao Wenyan kept maintaining the same posture. His legs were numb and he couldn't stand up for a while.

Chu Xu looked at her through the firelight, with a faint smile on his lips.

In fact, if you get to know Chu Xu more, you will know that he has the most indifferent temperament, and no one will associate him with gentleness. However, after just a few meetings, Gao Wenyan would occasionally have the illusion that Chu Xu was a little gentle.

It should be because he has unique insights into people, Gao Wenyan comforted himself. After all, she once thought that Lin Qian was just a simple scholar with a foolish attitude.

Chu Xu stretched out his hand to help Gao Wenyan up, as if Gao Wenyan was the injured one.

"Little General." He leaned into his ear and whispered, "We have another secret."

Gao Wenyan felt itchy and couldn't help but shrink his neck. He looked over again and saw that Chu Xu's expression was as usual, still cold and cold.

It was indeed her illusion.

Chu Xu stepped onto the carriage, turned around and said to Gao Wenyan, "Why don't you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me first and change your clothes before leaving."

She lowered her head, and there was indeed a mouthful of blood that Chu Xu drank last night. If she went home like this, she might not be able to tell clearly.

Gao Wenyan scanned around and saw that there was one man and one horse, but she just didn't have a place, so she had no choice but to follow Chu Xu into the carriage.

Although Zhixing had been given medicine, the old illness had not healed and new injuries had appeared. Chu Xu could not help but show signs of fatigue.

When the carriage slowly drove into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhixing called several times, but there was no movement from inside. Zhixing was worried about Chu Xu's injury, so he boldly stepped forward and opened the curtain slightly, only to find that the two of them had fallen asleep, leaning on each other, and even their hanging hairs were intertwined with each other.

Chu Xu still had one hand across Gao Wenyan's waist to reduce the bumps of the carriage for her and prevent her from falling into too much sleep.

It was the faint morning light, and the sunlight penetrated into the carriage through the opened gap, shining softly on Chu Xu's face, making his face pale and transparent. He opened his eyes and saw Shang Zhixing's shocked expression, as if he had glimpsed some terrible secret.

With a stern look in his eyes, he knew he had lost his composure, so he quickly lowered the curtain and retreated.

After the light dimmed, Gao Wenyan's slightly frowned brows relaxed.

Chu Xu looked at her quietly for a long time and laughed silently.

Normally, she was always wary of him. When she saw him, she would be as alert as a kitten with bristled fur, but at this time, she was sleeping carelessly next to her, looking well-behaved. It was also seen that her eyes were slightly blue, obviously she had not been able to sleep well for a long time.

Half an hour later, Gao Wenyan still showed no sign of waking up. Chu Xu thought about it for a while, fearing that she would not be able to explain herself if she came home late, so he finally woke her up.

After keeping watch all night, Gao Wenyan felt extremely sleepy. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep unknowingly while smelling the incense in the car. She rubbed her eyes and asked what time it was.

"It's almost time."

Gao Wenyan suddenly woke up.

Chenshi? Is it inappropriate to go home and be taken care of by the family?

Not caring about anything else, Gao Wenyan hurriedly went to Chu Ying and asked for a robe. Unexpectedly, as soon as he put it on, he found that the robe was too short. However, now that the situation has come to an end, we have no choice but to become a living doctor.

She originally wanted to sneak back to the room through the back door, but secret sentries were arranged around the general's mansion. As soon as they saw her figure from a distance, someone already went to report it to General Gao.
