Shen Yanchuan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he looked sideways and saw Ye Chutang lying on his shoulder. His lips were extremely pale, as if he had fallen asleep.
He frowned.
"Miss Ye Er?"
Ye Chutang did not respond and his breath was weak.
Shen Yanchuan's heart tightened and he held her shoulders, only to find that she was limp and seemed to have been drained of strength.
"Ye Chutang!?"
Shen Yanchuan immediately put the back of his hand on her forehead, which was hot.
His heart sank.
From the moment she was injured until now, Ye Chutang had behaved very calmly and calmly throughout the afternoon, and could even chat and laugh with him from time to time, so much so that even he thought her injury was not that serious.
Who knows——
Shen Yanchuan felt a tight pain in his chest.
He clearly knew that this woman was cunning and good at acting, yet he was still deceived by her like this!
Her injuries were probably much more serious than expected!
Shen Yanchuan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, put one hand around her waist, and held her cheek with the other.
"Ye Chutang? Wake up, don't sleep!"
If she still doesn't wake up, he must take her out of here as soon as possible.
"leaf--"
As soon as Shen Yanchuan opened his mouth, his voice suddenly stopped.
A warm and soft hand covered his mouth, followed by a soft, low voice that seemed to be coaxing.
"Shhh."
Shen Yanchuan heard his heart seem to skip a beat.
He rarely froze in place, his mind went blank.
Only the soft and hot touch came from the lips and quickly spread to the whole body.
Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly, glanced outside, then moved closer to Shen Yanchuan, and whispered: "Someone is coming."
Shen Yanchuan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Ye Chutang had been leaning on his shoulder, and now she was close again. She was almost talking into his ear.
The warm breath blows like the wind, like a spark of fire, which can easily start a prairie fire.
After a while, Ye Chutang finally let out a breath and relaxed all over.
"Okay, they're gone."
She subconsciously moved back, but found that she couldn't move. He was still in Shen Yanchuan's arms, so she had to raise her eyes and signal with her eyes.
"Prince?"
Shen Yanchuan calmly let go of her.
Ye Chutang leaned back, feeling a little funny, so he actually laughed.
"Your Majesty, why were you distracted just now? Didn't you notice that someone was coming?"
Shen Yanchuan couldn't answer her question. He stared at her face as pale as paper and asked, "I was just about to ask you, aren't you already unconscious? How can you still notice the movement outside?"
Ye Chutang's eyes curled up.
"Coma? Your Majesty misunderstood, I'm just a little sleepy and want to sleep."
At this time, you are still being stubborn.
Shen Yanchuan's face was expressionless and seemed extremely calm, but Ye Chutang felt a subtle sullenness.
"Ye Chutang, do you know that if you fall asleep when you lose too much blood, you may never wake up again?"
Okay, Ye Chutang is convinced that this man really likes to be angry for no reason.
It can't be because someone came just now, and she, a half-dead person, noticed it, but he didn't notice it, right?
"I know." Ye Chutang took a breath and found that the wound seemed to be numb and there was no feeling in his left arm.
She didn't move anymore and leaned there lazily: "That's why I didn't sleep. I originally thought I was too tired and wanted to rest first, but someone came."
As she spoke, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she said half-jokingly: "I have already saved the prince's life, why don't I lend you a shoulder to lean on?"
Shen Yanchuan found that some words made no sense to Ye Chutang.
He said: "How do you know the identities of those people?"
Ye Chutang said lazily: "If they came to save us, how could they be silent and make no sound at all?"
Being so sneaky, it was obvious that he was here to kill them.
Shen Yanchuan closed his eyes.
He rarely had such emotional turmoil, not even when he was poisoned by an arrow and his life was hanging by a thread.
But when he just saw Ye Chutang's eyes closed tightly and falling on his shoulders, he felt an unprecedented panic in his heart, which could even be called fear.
However, the culprit was so calm and unconcerned that he didn't take it seriously at all.
Ye Chutang thought for a while, after all, everyone was on the same boat now. Shen Yanchuan's reaction just now probably meant that he really didn't want to see her die here, which was considered sentimental, so he comforted him: "Actually, this is really nothing. , I know in my heart that I won’t really sleep to death. Besides, it’s summer now, so it’ll be fine if the rain stops. Winter is really difficult.”
She was lost in memories.
"One time when it snowed heavily, I took Ah Feng out to catch a rabbit, but before I could catch the rabbit, he passed out because he hadn't eaten for two days. The snow was already up to my knees, and he wouldn't wake up no matter how much I shouted. "
Shen Yanchuan frowned: "What happened next?"
Ye Chutang: "I slapped him twice and woke him up."
Shen Yanchuan: "..."
Ye Chutang laughed: "But fortunately we found a rabbit nest that time and had a good harvest."
That was the first time they had enough to eat since they fled south.
Ah Feng's toes were almost frozen to death. If it weren't for Ye Chutang's two slaps, he would have died quietly on that snowy day.
Shen Yanchuan looked outside.
He actually had nothing to see. From here he could only see branches and leaves wet by rain, hanging down from the entrance of the cave. The scenery outside was obscured and could not be seen clearly.
But he couldn't look at Ye Chutang anymore.
He couldn't look at the corners of her pale but still slightly raised lips, let alone her dark, warm and always clear eyes.
"You must return to Guling Temple before dark." Shen Yanchuan said, "Your injury cannot be delayed any longer."
His tone was calm, but very determined.
Ye Chutang was about to speak when he suddenly saw Shen Yanchuan getting up.
His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"People are coming."
Ye Chutang was stunned, and sure enough, he heard a familiar voice after a while.
"Brother! Chutang!"
It was Princess Qinyang who came over first.
While Ye Chutang was feeling happy, he glanced at Shen Yanchuan suspiciously.
This person has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, has profound internal skills, and his five senses are sharper than hers. So why...didn't you hear it just now?
I really don't know what he was thinking at that time.
The voice of Princess Qinyang is getting closer and closer.
Shen Yanchuan walked out.
…
Princess Qinyang was searching around anxiously when she suddenly heard someone calling her from the left front.
"Qinyang."
She immediately looked up, surprised and happy: "Brother!"
He's fine!
Princess Qinyang quickly climbed up from the rugged path next to it, and then discovered that there was a cave here.
She was so happy that she couldn't express it in words: "Great! Great! As long as you're fine! By the way, where is Chutang?"
Shen Yanchuan turned sideways slightly.
"She's in there."
Princess Qinyang rushed in immediately and was shocked when she saw Ye Chutang sitting there with blood on her body.
She quickly came to Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang smiled weakly at her, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Princess Qinyang choking:
"My brother is so virtuous and capable that you would rather risk your life to save him!?"
Ye Chutang: "...???"
Ah Feng (sad): I am the only one who is hurt.
