"I'll go see her."

Although the man should have left on his own when he saw him running away, Xie Zhan still couldn't worry about Mingxiu's safety. The man had already seen Mingxiu's face just now. He was able to escape on the mountain because of the terrain. If he met him in the village,

Then Mingxiu is afraid that the situation is in danger.

"This child cares about Xiu'er." Ming's father looked at Xie Zhan chasing Mingxiu's back solemnly. He knew his own affairs. Although Xie Zhan was a little beggar, he was a good person. Mingxiu's situation...

"Her father, are you interested?" Ming's mother shook her head repeatedly, "This child is a beggar. If you follow him, how will Xiuer's life be in the future?"

"I only have this idea because this child is a beggar." Ming's father sighed, "Okay, Xiu'er is still young, let's take a look first and then talk."

Mingxiu returned to the hillside where she met the man in black and looked around carefully. At this time, the man in black had disappeared. Naturally, no one would want to clean up the mess on the ground, but...

No matter how much Mingxiu thought about the situation of the cow and the dog, he found it strange. It would be great if he could find a small animal to test it on.

"Mingxiu!" Xie Zhan hurriedly caught up and saw Mingxiu looking for something in the woods. He stepped forward and took her hand, "What are you doing out here at this time? Come back with me quickly! Your parents are waiting for you to eat."

"

When she saw Xie Zhan coming, Mingxiu knew that her inner plan had failed. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "I am sensible and will go back after a while."

Seeing that there were many apples stung by wasps on the ground, she went up to pick up a few and put them into her basket. Fortunately, a series of things happened when she went back. She was blocked by someone before she could even put down her basket. It was natural for her to rush out at this time.

With.

"What are you doing picking up these things?" Xie Zhan was puzzled. These fruits were obviously spoiled and inedible. Could it be that Mingxiu had a grudge against those who framed her and wanted to use these spoiled fruits to make people feel upset?

Although he did not express his suspicions, his attitude was very obvious, and he even stepped forward to persuade: "Although it is wrong for Aunt Niu to frame you, her son also almost died, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. You are like this...

"

"What do you think I want to do?" Mingxiu looked up at him quietly. Could it be that in Xie Zhan's heart, she must retaliate for such a grudge?

Meeting her eyes, Xie Zhan felt guilty inexplicably, "I just...guess, what else would you be doing picking up these fruits?"

Seeing that he misunderstood her in this way, Mingxiu couldn't help feeling suffocated, "You can't control it! It's not what you think anyway!"

Not wanting to pay any attention to her, Mingxiu turned around and left.

Xie Zhan had never been treated like this before, and for a while he couldn't help but lose his temper.

"Tell me clearly, what exactly do you want to do?"

He will have to stay here for the next period of time and wait for the opportunity. If Mingxiu really does something that goes against his conscience, then he will not have a hard time in the Ming family. Xie Zhan thought to himself that he was just thinking about himself.

He stretched out his hand to pull Mingxiu back, but he didn't expect that Mingxiu, a little girl who looked fragile, was actually very strong. He didn't check for a moment, but she staggered him.

"Oh My God!"

She was dragged backwards by Xie Zhan and waited for a long time without falling to the ground. The feeling of falling did not disappear. When she opened her eyes, her heartbeat almost stopped with fear.

Between pushing and shoving with Xie Zhan, she actually fell into a cave!

"hiss……"

Xie Zhan used his body to slow down the momentum of Mingxiu's fall. Although he had been malnourished for many years, Mingxiu was still a living adult. If he had been practicing martial arts for a very young age and his muscles and bones were much stronger than those of ordinary people, he would probably have died suddenly on the spot.

"Ah, I'm sorry, get up quickly."

Hearing the cry of pain, Mingxiu realized that there was someone on his back underneath him, rolled up and climbed up, and carefully helped Xie Zhan to sit down on a stone beside him.

"Are you okay?"

She carefully observed Xie Zhan's face, and she couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that except for his slightly pale face, he was in good spirits.

It’s not whether she dares to do it or not, it’s just that her family has no money now!

If Xie Zhan was really good at it, where would he get the money to pay for his medical treatment and medicine?

"I'm fine." Xie Zhan waved his hand. Although it hurt from the fall, he subconsciously used his internal strength to protect his body when he came down, but he was not really injured. He looked around and said, "This cave should be used by hunters for hunting. Fortunately, it is underground.

There are no spikes buried, otherwise we would really become a sieve now."

"Even if we don't become a sieve now, we will starve to death here if we can't get up."

Mingxiu and Xie Zhan were unarmed, and there was no rope ladder or anything like that. The cave was smooth all around, so it was almost impossible to climb up with bare hands.

It is difficult to climb out of this cave alone, and the person who dug the cave might want to leave another way.

"Wait for me here for a while, and I'll look for another way."

"Then we have to do it as soon as possible." Xie Zhan glanced at the sky with a worried expression, "If I'm not mistaken, there are traces of wolves around here, and there might be wolves coming by the smell at night.

"

Even if he had extraordinary abilities, there was no way he could fight the wolves unarmed and escape with Mingxiu intact.

Mingxiu's expression tightened. Regardless of whether what Xie Zhan said was true or false, it was always right to go out early.

“There is a trail!”

After carefully exploring the cave, Mingxiu exhaled happily and ran back to Xie Zhan quickly.

"There is a trail ahead, but it's a bit dark and I don't know where it leads."

"It shouldn't be too far from your village, let's go first."

It may be true that the trail is dangerous, but no matter how dangerous it is, it is still better than waiting to die here.

The tunnel is narrow, even if a large beast comes, it cannot enter, so it is considered a safer place.

"This should be a tunnel deliberately set up by hunters to prevent a man from falling into a cave alone and being unable to get out." In the darkness, only Xie Zhan's clear voice gave Mingxiu the courage to keep walking, "It's smart, even if a wild beast falls in here.

Even if you find this tunnel in a cave, you won't be able to walk through it. It won't harm anyone and won't let the prey go. It's the best of both worlds."

"Don't think that people from the mountains are ignorant. In fact, in many places, people in the city can't compare." Mingxiu didn't know why, but she even felt a little proud in her heart. Wasn't she also a person from the mountains in front of Xie Zhan?

I don't know how long it took, but there was a faint light ahead, and even some vague human voices.

Mingxiu was shocked. Is this... about to go out?

The further you go outside, the more obvious the voices and light become.

"Have you heard? Prince Regent Zhan has rebelled!"

"Really? Then doesn't it mean that the regent is in charge now? Oh my God, the emperor has only been ill for a short time, right?"

"Where! I was caught by the prince, and now I don't know where to escape. I said, brother, what is Prince Zhan doing? He is already the regent, so why bother?"

"It's not enough to be greedy!"

Mingxiu didn't care about the gossip they were talking about. After confirming where she was, she went straight home.
