Pei Zhi went all the way to find the entrance of the cave. There were traces of the cave entrance just now. He listened carefully again, but there was no sound inside.
He held his sword steady.
——
Yuan Jing and the others also felt something was wrong. Now that it was so late, Jiang Li and the others should have come back no matter what.
The two of them returned to Merlin with the prey in their hands, only to find traces of embarrassment and bear paw prints on the ground.
There was also a trace of blood red mixed in the snow, which was lightly covered by the snow.
The two of them immediately knew that something had happened and hurriedly followed the traces.
Jiang Li was already awake at this time. The moment she woke up, she immediately put out the fire in front of her. The whole person was in a defensive state, holding the bow and arrow firmly in his hand.
There was a tinny sound outside. If Yuan Jing came to find him, it would definitely not be just such a tinny sound.
She swallowed and tightened her grip on the bow and arrow in her hand. She only had the last arrow. If there was any ferocious beast, she would only have this one chance.
If the attack misses, both people will die.
Hua Tingye shook his head slightly, his breath already very weak: "I will lure it away later, you take the opportunity to run out, don't look back."
Jiang Li's whole body was very cold at this time: "Cousin, don't talk."
She set up the bow and arrow in her hand and aimed towards the entrance of the cave, feeling her heart beating like thunder.
When the voice reached the entrance of the cave, it suddenly stopped. Jiang Li's palms were covered with sweat, and she felt a little out of breath.
It's better for the thing at the entrance of the cave to come over quickly and give her a good time. Jiang Li's heart tightened.
After a while, the cave entrance moved again.
Jiang Li only felt that her palm was no longer under her control, and the arrow was about to be shot.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the cave: "Jiang Li?"
It's the third brother!
After Jiang Li heard the voice, she felt that her guard was instantly relaxed, and her whole body softened.
She wanted to make a sound, but suddenly she seemed unable to speak. She was so frightened just now that she had not calmed down for a while and could not make a sound at all.
Hua Tingye coughed, and then the person at the entrance of the cave walked in quickly. Pei Zhi was wearing a black cloak, his expression was condensed, and his aura was severe.
Through the hazy light, Pei Zhi could see the little girl's embarrassment.
He only felt that there was an unknown anger in his heart, and he didn't know how to vent it.
This was the so-called snow hunt that Hua Tingye brought her out for. It was not easy to survive a night in such a cold and snowy place.
When Jiang Li saw him coming, her grievances seemed to burst out all of a sudden. It was with great difficulty that he called out third brother carefully.
Pei Zhi walked up to her, bent down and held her in his arms.
The little girl had made him so embarrassed. He was angry in his heart, but he was reluctant to vent on the little girl.
Jiang Li tugged on his sleeve and said, "Third brother, my cousin is still here..."
Pei Zhi glanced at the person lying on the ground with his slanted light.
Her thin lips parted slightly, and her words were harsh and unsparing: "Hua Tingye, if you don't have the ability, don't bring this person out."
After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about the people behind him.
After Hua Tingye heard this, he coughed several times and fainted.
Jiang Li felt anxious when she saw it. Her cousin was seriously injured and must be treated quickly.
She thought that Pei Zhi really didn't care about Hua Tingye anymore, so she couldn't help but speak again, with a somewhat anxious tone of emphasis: "Third brother, he was seriously injured."
"Third brother, if we leave him here like this, my cousin won't survive tonight."
Pei Zhi paused when he heard this, got on his horse, and held the little girl in his arms.
There was a bit of biting chill in the voice: "So?"
Pei Zhi frowned, coldness seeping into his bones, and the pressure on his body was extremely low: "Jiang Li, do you care about him so much?"
He was obviously so frightened and injured just now. When he walked in high, Jiang Li was tightly holding the bow and arrow on his shoulder. It was obvious that he wanted to risk his own life.
Are you going to be with that person regardless of your own life?
Thinking of this, Pei Zhi's face turned dark and ugly.
Jiang Li didn't know why her third brother was angry about what happened today. She was also the one who was hurt, and she still felt aggrieved.
She said: "My cousin saved me, that's why I got hurt——"
Pei Zhi grabbed her chin and said in a hoarse tone, "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be hurt today."
My pampered little girl ended up looking like this in just one afternoon.
Jiang Li looked at Pei Zhi, as if she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and suddenly burst into tears.
She was obviously very strong. He didn't cry at the moment of survival and danger just now, but when the third brother was so cruel to her, she felt that she couldn't help it.
Yuan and Jing heard the sound not far away and rode their horses towards this side.
He saw Pei Zhi holding Jiang Li in a miserable state, his clothes in tatters and stained with blood.
Hua Yue said: "Xiao Lihua, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Jiang Li looked past Pei Zhi and said, "Cousin, my cousin is in the cave. He is injured. Go in and save him quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zhi raised his whip and the horse ran forward.
Yuan Jing looked at the horses going away.
Knowing that Pei Zhi was really angry, Jiang Li could only wish for happiness.
Hua Yue couldn't care less. Hearing that his brother was injured, he hurriedly dismounted and brought out the unconscious Hua Tingye. Yuan Jing checked him first and found that he had been simply bandaged.
The wound was serious and the blood had to be drained out quickly. The two of them ran towards the house.
Jiang Li felt baffled. She didn't know where the third brother's anger came from.
"Third brother, stop quickly!"
Pei Zhi didn't care about this at all. After finally stopping the horse, Jiang Li's eyes were already red.
Her hands were still bleeding, and she didn't want to bear the third brother's inexplicable anger.
The third brother just doesn't comfort himself, but he still treats himself like this.
Pei Zhi looked down at her and pinched her chin: "I'm just worried about him."
Jiang Li didn't know why he was crazy. She had a stubborn look on her face and stopped crying. She stared at him with red eyes.
He spoke with some anger: "I just care about him, I'm just worried about him."
Pei Zhi chuckled, with a very unnatural look on his face, and said three good words in a row.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Li, you are very kind."
