Escape after crossing

Chapter 187 Adventure in the Mountains (4)

After that, without waiting for Leng Chenming's response, she stretched out her hand and wanted to touch his forehead to see if it was hot. However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Leng Chenming grabbed it.

He pulled hard, and Jiang Ziluo lost his balance and fell down beside him.

"No, come, sit down, lean on me, and have a good rest." Leng Chenming whispered, patting the empty seat next to him. His eyes were gentle and firm, as if there was an invisible force that made people irresistible.

Jiang Ziluo was slightly stunned, and a strange feeling surged in her heart. She looked down at Leng Chenming holding her hand, and her cheeks instantly flushed.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly moved her body, moved closer to Leng Chenming, and leaned lightly on his shoulder.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle. Jiang Ziluo could feel Leng Chenming's breath and the unique aura emanating from him.

This close contact made her heart beat faster involuntarily, and Leng Chenming seemed to have noticed her change, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised in an imperceptible arc.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, her face looked particularly peaceful and beautiful. Leng Chenming looked at her quietly, with an indescribable emotion surging in his heart. He wanted to protect her and stay with her forever.

As the night deepened, except for the occasional crackling of the bonfire, there was silence all around. Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo leaned on each other, enjoying this rare tranquility.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ziluo's breathing gradually became steady and she fell asleep. Leng Chenming listened to her gentle breathing and felt a sense of peace in his heart.

He gently raised his hand and brushed Jiang Ziluo's scattered hair behind her ears, then carefully let her head rest on his shoulder to prevent her from having back pain when she woke up.

In this small cave, they snuggled up to each other and spent this dangerous night together.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the cave. Jiang Ziluo opened her eyes and found herself leaning in Leng Chenming's arms. A shy blush immediately appeared on her face. She gently pushed him away and stood up.

Leng Chenming also woke up. He looked at Jiang Ziluo. After a night's rest, their mental state was much better. Jiang Ziluo checked Leng Chenming's wound and found that it was healing well, which made her feel relieved.

"Let's eat something and continue our journey today." Leng Chenming said softly, then slowly stood up. Jiang Ziluo nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then began to prepare breakfast for the two of them, and also prepared lunch.

After breakfast, Jiang Ziluo put all his belongings into the space, and then the two of them left the cave and set out on the journey home again.

The two walked forward, hoping to get out of the vast mountains as soon as possible. On the way, they caught a glimpse of a gurgling stream, so they walked towards the stream without any prior agreement.

"How about we take a rest here?" Leng Chenming suggested.

Jiang Ziluo nodded in agreement, and the two sat down side by side by the stream. Leng Chenming gently scooped up a handful of water and washed his face. The refreshing coolness made him feel refreshed.

Jiang Ziluo took out a handkerchief from the space, soaked it in water and handed it to Leng Chenming: "Wipe your face, it will feel better."

Leng Chenming took the wet handkerchief and looked at her gratefully. After Leng Chenming wiped his face, he looked at Jiang Ziluo and asked.

"Lolo, can you let me see the bow and arrow you used yesterday?"

Jiang Ziluo nodded and took out the bow from the space. Leng Chenming looked at it carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This bow looks very special." He gently stroked the bowstring, feeling its elasticity. "It's made with exquisite craftsmanship and top-quality materials. Is this also from the place you mentioned?"

Jiang Ziluo smiled and explained: "Yes, I got this by chance. It has accompanied me through many battles and is my best weapon."

Leng Chenming tried to pull the bowstring and found that it required a lot of strength to pull it open.

"What a powerful force!" he exclaimed in admiration. "It seems that I have always underestimated your strength. Yesterday I saw you could shoot three arrows at once!"

Jiang Ziluo smiled and put away his bow. "Haha, it's just practice! Let's continue on our journey."

They walked along the stream, admiring the beautiful scenery all the way. Leng Chenming looked back at Jiang Ziluo from time to time, with an indescribable warmth in his heart.

At noon, the weather was getting hotter, so they decided to take a rest under the shade of a tree. Jiang Ziluo took out some dry food and water from the space and handed them to Leng Chenming.

"Thank you, Lolo." Leng Chenming took the food and said sincerely.

Jiang Ziluo smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't have to be polite. The two of them ate quietly, and Jiang Ziluo kept looking around.

"It's been peaceful today, and we didn't meet anyone..." Seeing Jiang Ziluo so nervous, Leng Chenming tried to find a topic to talk about.

"Hush, don't you know that good things don't work but bad things do? Don't ever say that out loud."

Leng Chenming had no choice but to shut his mouth and quickly finish the food in his hand. Jiang Ziluo also quickly solved the problem of food and clothing, and suggested: "Let's walk forward first. There is a relatively open place ahead, which is suitable for a temporary rest."

Leng Chenming nodded in agreement, stood up and followed Jiang Ziluo forward. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came to an open area. There was green grass and a few big trees here. It was indeed a good place to rest.

Jiang Ziluo spread a mat under the tree and the two of them sat down. "Let's take a rest first." Jiang Ziluo said.

"But we still have to stay vigilant." Leng Chenming nodded, leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to rest.

Jiang Ziluo closed his eyes and communicated with the space spirit Yuanyuan through his consciousness. Time passed by minute by minute, and the surroundings were quiet.

Leng Chenming opened his eyes and saw Jiang Ziluo with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. He couldn't help but feel moved. He remembered the scene in the cave last night and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Jiang Ziluo seemed to feel his gaze, opened his eyes, and met his gaze. The two smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding flowed between them.

Suddenly Jiang Ziluo stood up and ran away. Leng Chenming quickly followed and saw that it was a ginseng. Jiang Ziluo had forgotten that there must be a lot of precious herbs in this deep mountain. He was so busy escaping yesterday that he didn't have time to take a closer look.

Jiang Ziluo excitedly dug out the ginseng and held it carefully in his palm. "This ginseng looks good." Leng Chenming said.

"Well, do you know how old this ginseng is?" Jiang Ziluo smiled happily.

Leng Chenming had no knowledge of these medicinal herbs, he just knew some of the precious ones, so he shook his head.

Jiang Ziluo held the ginseng and told Leng Chenming, "Look at the ginseng beard, the head, and the color of the ginseng skin. This is a 300-year-old ginseng."

Jiang Ziluo was holding the ginseng and talking to Leng Chenming. He looked back and couldn't help but muttered, "Oh, how many good herbs did we miss yesterday? What a pity."
