Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Qingxiao's injury on his foot was almost healed, and his health was no longer serious.
"Brother Lu, shall we hit the road today?" Shen Qingxiao looked outside Shandong, anxious.
She had been in a coma with a high fever for three days and woke up only four days ago. However, she was still confused when she woke up, and she didn't wake up until yesterday.
She didn't dare to think about how Arruda had taken care of her these past few days. She just wanted to go home quickly. The family must have gone crazy with anxiety.
Arruda lowered his eyes and looked at her feet, and Shen Qingxiao took an uncomfortable step back.
"Is your foot injured?" Arruda asked with a normal expression.
Shen Qingxiao nodded, "Yes! It's fine now. It will definitely not slow down the journey!"
"Let's go then." Arruda didn't ask any more questions, turned around, packed up, and left the cave first.
Shen Qingxiao tightly grasped the cloak he had previously put on her body and followed him silently.
The mountain road was difficult to travel. Last time, Arruda only focused on staying away from the Jun tribe's sphere of influence. This time, he deliberately slowed down his speed so that Shen Qingxiao would not lose sight of himself because he had to keep up with him.
Shen Qingxiao also clearly felt his thoughtfulness, and her heart felt warm. When she raised her eyes and looked at his back, she unconsciously curled her lips.
Unfortunately, this smile was fleeting.
Thinking of the care he had taken for her in the past few days, Shen Qingxiao's ears couldn't help but turn red, and she felt even more panicked.
Although it is urgent, but...he has seen and touched her feet, and treated the wounds on her arms and neck for her. If these were known to outsiders, she would either marry him immediately, or have her hair twisted. Go to the temple to be a sister-in-law.
Needless to say, the journey was bumpy, but Shen Qingxiao found that although Arruda never took the initiative to speak, he took great care of her.
Moreover, he has a plan for what he does and will prepare his next meal while walking on the road.
Sometimes it was a bunch of fruits or nuts, sometimes it was a hare or pheasant. When they saw bamboo, they would cut it down and make it into a water tube, which they would tie together with vines and carry around so that they would not be short of water along the way.
After walking for a day, it was getting dark, and Arruda said to Shen Qingxiao: "It's not convenient to travel at night, let's find a place to rest for the night."
In order to avoid the Jun people, he took Shen Qingxiao on a detour from the south, which was still two hours away from Ezhou.
Shen Qingxiao naturally had no objection. She knew that if he hadn't taken her with him, Arruda would have walked out of the forest long ago.
The two found a cliff and could only barely shelter.
Arruda lit a bonfire, letting Shen Qingxiao keep warm next to it, and built another fire to roast the pheasant.
On the way here just now, he shot two pheasants and disposed of them while fetching water.
Shen Qingxiao looked at his calm look and felt very ashamed. She wanted to help but didn't know where to start.
Arruda was really capable. He had done everything along the way, and she just followed along, eating, drinking, and protecting him.
Shen Qingxiao was not the kind of person who enjoyed the contributions of others with peace of mind. At this moment, all the shyness related to fame in his heart was temporarily forgotten.
"Brother Lu, I heard you ask before..." Shen Qingxiao thought for a long time before finding a suitable topic, "Are you looking for your family?"
She was too embarrassed to ask him directly if he had lost his memory, so she could only ask in a roundabout way.
Arruda raised his eyes towards her, pursed his lips, and did not reply.
