Fortunately, the two were lucky. Before the trap caught the lost animal, they found a cave entrance close to the mountain, not far from where they fell at the beginning.

Of course, Wei Qingjue also saw the lifeless body of Korlo.

"It's your own fault."

Looking at the twisted body, he only said this lightly, without even a glance.

The space in the cave was not very large, and the depth was just enough for two people to lie upright. There was a rotten smell, and it seemed that some animal had used this as its nest.

"Then you stay here quietly, I'll go get some branches."

But after she finished speaking, she confidently stretched out her hand to Wei Qingjue.

"Ok?"

"I can't use my coat to carry a load of firewood."

She pursed her lips. It was clearly her request, but she felt a little embarrassed when she put it forward.

Following her gaze towards him, Wei Qingjue finally understood what she meant.

"I see."

He slowly and carefully unbuttoned the shirt hanging on his waist, and then handed it to Yun Nian. Yun Nian ran away with the shirt in his hand like a frightened little rabbit.

"Really..."

Shaking his head helplessly, the smile on Wei Qingjue's face slowly faded, and he covered his wound in pain.

Although I tried to find some useful herbs, I couldn't find any. The wound felt like it was burned by fire, with a sharp pain.

"If it can't be dealt with in time..."

That would be bad.

Although he always said he was fine when facing Yun Nian, after all, the injury was in the chest, and it was such a serious injury. He was lucky to wake up.

I have fallen into this desolate place, where no one can help me.

"Cough cough!"

The surge of blood affected the wound, and blood spread to the corner of Wei Qingjue's mouth, which he wiped away fiercely.

"No matter what, she must be sent to a safe place."

He sat down cross-legged and began to force the internal Qi to circulate.

……

"How many branches do you need to make a fire at night?"

Yun Nian scratched his head. Although he said he didn't want to wrap the firewood with an outer shirt, after all, the inner shirt was closer to his body, so in the end he used a light gauze to wrap up the branches.

"The more the better."

Soon, there were so many branches in his arms that he could hardly hold them anymore. Only then did Yun Nian start to walk back.

There was a rustling sound, and she looked in the direction of the trap with some curiosity, and then immediately threw away the things in her hand.

"Caught!"

Even though she lowered her voice, one could still hear the excitement in her tone. Yun Nian couldn't wait to run to the cage, where a cute rabbit was lying, struggling desperately.

No one knew how Wei Qingjue had done it, but the cage woven with vines would tighten the more the prey struggled, leaving them with no way out.

"What an amazing skill!"

She saw the rope of the closing mechanism move, and immediately realized that it was because Wei Qingjue was watching everything happening here, so she simply took the rabbit and the firewood tied on the ground and went over.

"look!"

The girl showed off to the man in front of her with great interest,

“It’s a cute rabbit!”

Wei Qingjue had an idea. If Yun Nian liked it, it would be a good idea to let her keep it and raise it to entertain her.

But the girl who was still talking about cuteness in the last moment showed an evil smile in the next moment.

"Hehe, such a cute rabbit must be delicious if roasted!"

The pair of bright eyes stared at Wei Qingjue, and he also servilely sent his dagger out as well.

"I'll hold it for you."

Thanks to the vines that bound it, Yun Nian barely had to exert much effort when bleeding the rabbit. Then the skinned rabbit was skewered and roasted over the fire at the entrance of the cave.

The sky gradually darkened, and in the silent night, the sound of cicadas could be heard. When the flames burned, small branches exploded, emitting slight sparks.

The aroma of oil gradually spread out, and Yun Nian swallowed his saliva reluctantly.

"How long do we have to wait?"

The rabbit was spinning on the fire, sizzling and oozing with oil.

The man in the shadow of the dancing flames raised his eyebrows. The shadow behind him was so big that it almost occupied the entire top of the cave. He used a knife to cut the rabbit's abdomen cleanly.

"Almost done, want to try it?"

Yun Nian took the most delicious meat from the abdomen and stuffed it into his mouth eagerly and gracefully.

"Ha... it's hot... but it tastes good!"

Without any seasoning, it should have tasted dry. The girl didn't have much hope, but she didn't expect it to taste good.

"With a skill like this, you won't have to worry about wandering in the wilderness again!"

She winked at Wei Qingjue, and in return he handed her a bigger piece of meat.

"Okay, that's enough, you can eat the rest yourself."

She urged, and then slowly enjoyed the food bit by bit. Seeing her like this, the Regent, who originally had no appetite, began to follow her example.

Unfortunately, the wound still hurt. After eating a small portion, he put it down without making a sound, his hands trembling slightly.

"Okay, you go to bed early, I'll watch the fire."

Wei Qingjue pointed at the burning flames, and then offered his coat and spread it on the ground.

"I'll just have to make do with it. I've already cleaned the blood-stained areas."

However, this environment was probably too bad for Yun Nian. He couldn't help but frown. Maybe he should find some straw.

But the girl in front of him simply refused.

"No, you are the injured one, you are the one who should rest well, I am not sleepy yet, let me keep watch."

As she was about to push him in, she was held down as soon as her hand touched Wei Qingjue's shoulder.

"Then let's take turns. It won't be good if both of us fall asleep. Your body won't be able to handle staying up all night."

Perhaps fearing that Yun Nian would still disagree, he added,

"Well, I'll be on guard for the first half of the night, and when the time comes, I'll wake you up, and the hard work of the second half of the night will be left to you."

Without waiting for Yun Nian to say anything, he forcefully pushed her onto the clothes and covered her eyes.

"Go to sleep and don't worry."

Perhaps the Regent King was too reassuring, Yun Nian fell asleep without realizing it, and was awakened by a muffled groan.

The fire was still burning, but the flames had dimmed a lot, and it looked like no new branches had been added for a while.

Wei Qingjue fell near the cave entrance with a frown on his face, suppressing his heavy breathing.

"Wei Qingjue?"

Yun Nian immediately rushed over and put his hand on his forehead.

"So hot."
