Han Changmu looked at it and burst into laughter.
This is the sequelae of being bitten by that nest of ants.
Xie Mengxia turned around and growled: "Don't laugh, or you'll attract the wolf again."
After knocking for a long time and seeing that there was indeed nothing else in the cave, Xie Mengxia walked in confidently and boldly. Holding the lantern in one hand, he waved his hand with some courage: "Let's go in."
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and smiled, then followed Yao Yao in his arms.
It was pouring rain outside and extremely humid, but it was very dry inside the cave.
Xie Mengxia carefully placed the lantern on the ground and praised it from the bottom of his heart: "Don't tell me, A Yao's hands are really skillful. This lantern is really well made."
After Han Changmu settled Yao Yao, he turned around and said, "I'll go pick up some dry firewood nearby."
He moved very neatly, coming and going in a hurry. Not long after, he came in with a bundle of dry firewood. The clothes used to protect him from the rain were covered on the firewood. He was soaked all over, and there were cold drops of water on his eyes and eyebrows, but the dry firewood was Not wet at all.
A fire was set up and the fire slowly burned to a very high level.
The two of them changed into dry clothes and warmed their hands by the fire before they slowly recovered.
Han Changmu took a clean handkerchief and slowly wiped Yao Yao's face, which was as thin as a palm. Perhaps it was too cold. Her lips were ugly and blue, and her face was cold and lifeless.
Xie Mengxia touched Yao Yao's soaked hair bun and clothes, and asked why: "A Yao's clothes have been soaked for a long time, and the wind in the mountains is strong. With such a blow, it is easy for the cold to penetrate the bones, and she is sick again." Come on, don't make your illness worse if you get cold like this."
Han Changmu was stunned for a moment: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Xie Mengxia was a little hesitant, feeling that what he said was too deceiving to Han Changmu. He took a big bite of the sesame cake that had just been baked and it burned his mouth. His hot lips trembled. He endured the trembling and said, "Change A Yao's body." It’s done.”
Han Changmu raised his eyelids and said, "Why don't you change it?"
Xie Mengxia chuckled: "As you said, I'll change it. Don't regret it."
The cold wind carried the raindrops and poured into the cave, overwhelming the flames and causing them to flicker and sway violently.
Just as Xie Mengxia was about to get up, Han Changmu shouted hurriedly: "Hey, come here and find something to block the entrance of the cave to prevent the wind and rain from blowing in. I'll change it."
Xie Mengxia raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.
Han Changmu took a deep breath, walked over cautiously, looked at Yao Yao, whose breath was weakly rising, and calmed down for a long time.
He took out a pair of Hu clothes and put them aside, then covered Yao Yao's body with a sleeping bag, then reached under the sleeping bag, trying to be as gentle as possible without touching her body, and quickly took off the dirty Hu clothes.
His face was red, and his breathing was rapid and messy due to excessive tension.
He caressed and put the dry clothes on Yao Yao's body and tied it up. Without checking whether she was dressed neatly or not, he stuffed her into the sleeping bag.
After doing this, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and his mind was filled with images of Yao Yao sleeping next to him when he woke up in Pingkangfang that day.
His heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't calm down even after sitting by the fire for a long time.
Xie Mengxia looked at Han Changmu's appearance and patted his thigh with a smile: "Jiuchao, you are blushing. Why are you blushing so hard?"
Han Changmu glanced sideways at Xie Mengxia, then reached out and patted his hot face to calm himself down.
Xie Mengxia leaned over mysteriously and said in a low voice: "Jiuchao, are you just a concubine or something like that?" He looked Han Changmu up and down, and smiled jokingly: "Cousin, you Is there something wrong?"
Han Changmu choked, raised his foot and kicked it.
Xie Mengxia hurriedly dodged, laughing loudly.
His eyes flickered a few times, and he said with a thoughtful smile: "Speaking of which, A Yao is really a good girl."
Han Changmu's eyes gradually deepened. He took the rare wine bag and took a sip of wine without saying a word.
The rain outside gradually stopped, and everything in the mountains was completely silent. There was not even a bird, and the clear breath rushed into the cave.
Both of them held up the wet clothes and baked them slowly.
Although the rain has stopped, there is no moon or stars tonight, the sky is extremely gloomy, and the sky is covered with deep clouds.
Han Changmu frowned slightly and sighed: "I'm afraid it's going to snow."
Xie Mengxia didn't have Han Changmu's sense of crisis at all. He waved his hands nonchalantly: "It's going to rain. We have food and drink. Are we still afraid of snow? At the worst, we can stay here for a few more days and wait for the snow to stop before leaving. "
Han Changmu didn't say anything. He leaned against the stone wall and watched the bonfire, drinking slowly and chatting with Xie Mengxia from time to time.
The night was getting darker, Xie Mengxia was tired and sleepy, and the wine was full of energy. He was drunk, wrapped himself tightly in a felt sleeping bag, and fell asleep in darkness, snoring heavily.
In the middle of the night, Yao Yao developed a high fever again. Her cheeks were red due to the fever, her lips were dry, and she had no idea what she was talking about.
While Han Changmu was cooling Yao Yao down, he lay next to her lips and listened. He only heard her repeating the word "adopted father" over and over again, but could not hear anything else.
Han Changmu was a little confused as to who his adoptive father was and why Yao Yao mentioned it repeatedly when he was ill.
As Han Changmu expected, it was snowing outside.
At first, there were just some scattered snow particles, not big or dense, falling to the ground with a rustling sound.
Later, the snow became heavier and heavier, the snowflakes whirled in the wind, and the snow outside the cave became thicker in an instant.
The wind carried the woven snowflakes straight into the cave.
Fortunately, Xie Mengxia moved the stones over very quickly and blocked the entrance to the cave, leaving only a gap two fists wide at the top.
Although the wind and snow were blocked, it suddenly became cold in the cave.
Han Changmu's cheeks were numb from the cold and his hands were cold.
He rubbed his hands together and added a handful of firewood to the fire.
Yao Yao snorted unconsciously.
Han Changmu hurriedly leaned over and shouted in a low voice: "Ah Yao, Ah Yao, wake up, wake up."
With this soft call, Yao Yao actually opened his eyes, but his eyes were a little dull. He looked at Han Changmu and opened his dry mouth. The mouth was cracked and blood beads spilled out.
Han Changmu quickly took the hot water, put it on Yao Yao's lips, and asked softly: "Do you want some water?"
Yao Yao's consciousness finally became clearer, and he drank a few sips of water from Han Changmu's hand, and his mind became clearer.
She was bitten by an ant and then fainted. She didn't know anything anymore. She must have been poisoned.
She raised her eyelids hard, her voice was hoarse, and she spoke loudly: "Master, where is this?"
Han Changmu whispered: "Go over Tanhan Mountain and you will reach Gaochang Kingdom."
Yao Yao felt hot and uncomfortable all over her body. She moved her body and found something was wrong.
Why are her clothes loose? Who helped her change her clothes?
She spoke with difficulty with a complicated expression: "Master, what's going on with my clothes?"
Han Changmu panicked for a moment, then quickly calmed down and said: "Well, it's raining and you're all wet. I, I just changed it for you." He then said urgently: "I, I closed my eyes, I promise , I guarantee you won’t see anything.”
Yao Yao was completely stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said in a low voice: "Master, do you have food? I'm hungry."
"Yes, yes." Seeing that Yao Yao did not pursue the matter, Han Changmu felt at ease. He hurriedly helped her up, diligently broke the sesame cake, soaked it in the soup, and fed it to her one bite at a time.
Outside the cave, the cold wind howled, and the heavy snow fell like catkins.
Yao Yao took a few sips of soup, then shook his head and looked outside: "Sir, it's snowing."
Han Changmu nodded: "It's okay, we have enough things, we can wait until the snow stops before leaving."
Just these few words exhausted all Yao Yao's strength. She leaned against the stone wall, slowly closing her eyes and sliding down.
Han Changmu quickly supported Yao Yao and noticed that she was shaking slightly. After thinking about it, he leaned against the stone wall, hugged Yao Yao into his arms, and wrapped her in a felt blanket, forming a dark and warm space.
He lowered his head, buried his face in Yao Yao's slightly damp hair, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The cave was quiet except for Xie Mengxia's snoring one after another.
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Wake up, stop pretending, and stifle yourself again."
Xie Mengxia laughed scornfully: "Jiu Chao, why didn't I realize before that you still have such compassion for women?"
Han Changmu didn't dare to look into Xie Mengxia's eyes. He lowered his head to look at the person who was sleeping peacefully in his arms and said insincerely, "I'm afraid she'll freeze to death and it won't be easy to explain when she gets back."
Xie Mengxia glanced at Han Changmu with a half-smile, shook his head and smiled: "You are just a duck that has been boiled for seventy-two times, and you only have a tough mouth."
Han Changmu listened to the shallow breathing in his arms and his own heartbeat like a drum. He didn't know what was going on. He smiled without explaining: "You're not sleeping yet? Then you stay by the bonfire, and I Asleep."
Xie Mengxia's curiosity was piqued by Lao Gao, but the instigator refused to say a word and went to sleep instead.
How can I bear this?
He leaned over and pressed Han Changmu relentlessly: "No, you can't sleep. You have to make it clear to me."
Han Changmu opened his eyes and smiled helplessly: "Speak clearly."
Xie Mengxia sighed, with a sincere expression on his face: "If you want me to say it, she is not bad, but her family background is a bit bad. Don't even think about being a concubine. The side concubine is too difficult, and the concubine is afraid. She won’t do it either, which is really troublesome.”
Han Changmu smiled even more helplessly: "Cousin, what nonsense are you thinking about? There is no trace. Stop talking nonsense and go to bed quickly."
Xie Mengxia sighed again and lay down.
Han Changmu closed his eyes slightly, and the bright firelight was always dancing in front of his eyes.
He had just taken a nap when he suddenly opened his eyes, his ears moved, and he heard a rapid and staggering rustling sound coming from outside the cave.
It’s not the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.
The endless heavy snow outside stopped half an hour ago.
