After Shalan entered the grotto, she was surprised to find that the fire had been extinguished.

When she came back, there was a cold wind outside, and there was no dappled sunlight visible above her head. It must have been very late and the sun had set.

The night breeze on the island is still very cold, and it would be very difficult tonight without a fire.

Shallan's legs were in constant pain.

There was a half-dead Xie Changqing outside, and she couldn't let him die here.

I'm hungry and I have to make a fire...

The piles of things piled up made Shalan extremely irritable.

She threw the fish to the ground in a fit of anger, then brought some dead grass and dry firewood to light the fire. After it heated up a little and she felt a little warmer, she brought the fish over.

After she caught the fish, she used the small dagger she had with her to process and wash the fish by the stream.

But after returning, Xie Changqing held him randomly in his arms and the fish fell down, getting a lot of mud on it.

But she originally planned to wrap the fish in soil and bake it.

She really didn't have the energy to walk that long to the stream...

Shallan worked on it for a while, threw the fish into the fire and buried it, then got up and went outside.

Xie Changqing still maintained his original posture and leaned against the stone wall.

Shalan looked at him coldly for a while, then kicked him with her foot.

Xie Changqing frowned slightly and did not respond.

Shalan also frowned, held up her skirt and squatted down in front of Xie Changqing.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Xie Changqing's forehead, and his face was flushed abnormally.

Shalan raised her hand to explore, feeling even more irritated.

Why is he so hot?
How could Shalan have imagined that Xie Changqing left the capital and transferred to Anyang, and then chased him to Danzhou and Yaocheng, without much rest along the way.

After arriving on this island, I couldn't eat enough and didn't get enough rest.

It took Xie Changqing most of his energy to get here into the bay. After being poisoned, he was soaked and left aside by her.

Even a body made of iron can't help but do this.

After glaring at Xie Changqing several times, Shalan reluctantly went to help him.

When Sha Lan first found Xie Changqing, he could barely support himself to walk two steps. Sha Lan had to support him very hard. In the end, it was Xie Changqing who relied on his strong willpower to get here.

Now Xie Changqing's limbs were weak and completely unresponsive.

Sha Lan tried her best and paused several times before finally pulling and dragging Xie Changqing into the grotto.

The moment she moved him in and put him away, Shalan herself fell to the side and gasped, with a layer of sweat on her forehead.

He didn't even have the strength to glare at Xie Changqing.

There was a crackling sound of flames.

Shalan panted for a while, regained some strength, and crawled to Xie Changqing's side again.

The clothes on his body have already dried. Judging from the color of the blood flowing out of the wound on his leg, it must have been detoxified. The problem now is fever. He should be able to handle this small problem, right?

Shalan looked at Xie Changqing for a while, then turned around to dig out the grilled fish she had just thrown in.

Because it took too much time to get Xie Changqing in, the fish was already burnt.

Sha Lan ate the burnt fish with an ugly expression, and stuffed several pieces into Xie Changqing's hands while holding back her annoyance.

Although he was unconscious, he swallowed several times instinctively, and then his frown became even more severe.

Shalan half-squinted her beautiful glass eyes, wondering if he was overwhelmed by the unpalatable burnt smell?

After a while, Shalan crawled over to Xie Changqing and maliciously stuffed the burnt part into his mouth, leaving only the unburnt bit for herself.

The burnt and unseasoned fish itself is unpalatable, not to mention the fact that it is wrapped in soil and grilled.

Sha Lan was upset, and of course all her unhappiness was retaliated on Xie Changqing. When tearing the fish flesh, the shell was not cleaned very well. After Xie Changqing's mouth was filled with scorched earth, he couldn't swallow and coughed several times.After that, I shut my mouth tightly and not a single piece could be put in.

Shalan looked at him coldly for a while, added some firewood to the fire, then knelt down beside Xie Changqing, adding firewood from time to time, and exploring Xie Changqing's forehead.

*
Xie Changqing felt that foreign objects had been stuffed into his mouth all the time, and the taste was choking and difficult to swallow. He subconsciously gritted his teeth and refused to let any foreign objects be inserted again.

who is it……

Who is torturing him like this?

In a state of confusion, Xie Changqing recalled in a daze that he entered the bay, sank all the way, and then saw many white bones at the bottom of the dark bay, and then saw a dazzling light.

Out of curiosity, he swam along the bright light and found a very narrow passage.

Lei Yi kept pulling on the rope to seek a response, but he didn't get the gem, so he wanted to try and take a look inside the passage.

So he cut the rope and swam in.

The passage was tight and narrow, and it was difficult for his body to pass through it. He got stuck in the undulating passage of rocks and was injured. Later, he barely swam to the end, but ended up in a valley.

When he climbed out of the water, he lost strength and fell.

Then for some reason I started to feel faint.

later……

I seem to have seen Shallan.

More than once.

She said he couldn't die here and took him somewhere.

She knelt down in front of her and lowered her head.

He was dazed and unconscious for a while, but when he woke up, he found that Shallan was missing.

He used all his strength to drag his tired body out of the grotto, and saw her coming back from a distance.

Shallan, Shallan...

Are these all hallucinations caused by his confusion, or is she really there?

Xie Changqing's head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Drowsiness, accompanied by pinprick-like pain.

I haven't felt this way for many years. From time to time, there was a cold touch on my forehead, and some faint crackling sounds were heard in my ears.

Everything urged Xie Chang to wake up and open his eyes.

His super strong willpower indeed made him open his eyes slightly after trying it several times.

The firelight was dim, and his vision was also blurry. He only saw a slender figure sitting next to him with his knees in his arms.

Orange firelight fell on her hair.

The brown hair exuded wisps of warm light, which was exactly the same as the warm light that the afternoon sun shone on Shalan in the capital at that time.

It's really her!

The corners of Xie Changqing's lips curled up subconsciously, and he put his elbows on the ground to sit up.

Shalan's body was swaying, her face was buried between her knees, and her eyelids drooped heavily, as if she was too sleepy to hold on.

The moment her head slipped off her knees, Xie Changqing reached out to hold the back of Shalan's head.

It was also at this moment that Sha Lan suddenly woke up and met Xie Changqing's eyes.

Neither of them spoke, and there was only the crackling of the fire in their ears.

After a moment, Xie Changqing put his arms around Shalan's back, "You know what's going on down there, and you know there's a passage to get here, right?"

Otherwise she wouldn't be able to find her way here! (End of chapter)
