When Mu Xiaoqiao woke up, he found himself lying on the shore. In front of him was a crescent moon, casting a soft light.

She blinked, and it took her a while to remember what happened. She was still alive? Oh, where was Ruan Haoyu?

Startled, Mu Xiaoqiao sat up immediately. She felt a sharp pain in her foot. She didn't bother to look and looked around. She saw Ruan Haoyu lying not far from her, motionless and lifeless.

He's not dead, is he?

Mu Xiaoqiao used her hands and feet to crawl to Ruan Haoyu's side, stretched out her trembling hands to check his breath, then breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he was still alive.

"Ruan Haoyu? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Mu Xiaoqiao called out twice, but there was no response from the other party.

With the help of moonlight, Mu Xiaoqiao saw Ruan Haoyu's miserable condition. The ten fingers of his hands were bloody and in a mess. There was no spot of blood on his clothes, and there were many scratches on his face. Mu Xiaoqiao touched her face and found it was intact. She remembered that when she jumped down, he pressed her head in his arms. She sighed secretly, what a fool.

Looking around, Mu Xiaoqiao discovered that this seemed to be a valley. The sound of the waterfall could no longer be heard. He didn't know how far they had been washed away. There seemed to be a cave not far away. There was no sound around and it was deserted.

Mu Xiaoqiao tore off his clothes and bandaged his ankle simply, then found a branch as thick as his arm to use as a crutch, struggled to stand up, and then struggled to carry Ruan Haoyu on his back, limping towards the cave with the crutch.

Ruan Haoyu was taller than her. He was carried on her back, unable to lift his feet off the ground. His toes kept dragging on the ground as he walked, and he showed no signs of waking up.

After finally reaching the cave entrance, Mu Xiaoqiao was already exhausted and out of breath. She put Ruan Haoyu down against the cave entrance and touched her arms. The buns were still there.

But there was nothing else except the steamed buns, so she reached into Ruan Haoyu's arms again, and fortunately, the fire starter was not lost.

The tinder was still a little damp, but it was lit somehow. Mu Xiaoqiao first entered the cave to explore. The cave was not big and was relatively clean, so usually not many people would come here.

Mu Xiaoqiao went out and picked up some dead branches and leaves, made a fire, and made a bed with the leaves. Then he carried Ruan Haoyu in and placed him on the leaves.

After doing all this, it was already late at night. Mu Xiaoqiao took off their outer clothes and hung them next to the fire, then gently lifted Ruan Haoyu's inner clothes.

Shocking wounds covered almost his entire body. In some places, the skin and flesh were curled up. His fingers were swollen and bloody. He must have been in so much pain that day as he ran away from her, but she didn't hear him even utter a sound.

Mu Xiaoqiao once again refreshed her perception of the man in front of her. She thought he was a spoiled nobleman who couldn't endure hardship, but she didn't expect him to be so tolerant.

Mu Xiaoqiao found a broken clay pot in the cave, not knowing who had left it there. She went to the river to wash it clean, boiled some hot water, and cleaned the wounds on Ruan Haoyu's body. She then took care of her own wounds as well. After doing all this, she was so tired that she fell asleep beside Ruan Haoyu.

Mu Xiaoqiao slept very deeply, and felt as if she was hugging a heater, feeling extremely comfortable. She subconsciously thought that the fire in her house was burning brightly enough, but then she felt something was wrong and woke up with a start.

It was already daybreak, and the chirping of birds could be heard outside the cave. The fire was almost out.

The first thing Mu Xiaoqiao did when she woke up was to reach out to touch Ruan Haoyu's forehead, and sure enough, he had a high fever.

This is a problem. In this valley, there is a lack of medical care and medicine, and I don’t know if he can survive.

Mu Xiaoqiao sighed. Did she owe him something in her previous life? Why was she still being entangled?

After applying a cold towel to Ruan Haoyu, Mu Xiaoqiao went outside for a walk and found some medicinal herbs. She had been on the march for many years and understood basic pharmacology.

After returning to the cave, Mu Xiaoqiao applied herbal medicine to Ruan Haoyu's wounds and rebandaged them, and changed them with cold towels. Mu Xiaoqiao had no other tricks but to stay with him and touch his forehead from time to time.

"Father, father..." Ruan Haoyu murmured unconsciously.

"Father, please pass the throne to my third brother... I, I don't want to be the crown prince."

I didn't expect that he was really like Ruan Haotian said, not interested in the country. This is quite strange. Others are fighting for the position of crown prince, but he wants to give it up.

"General Mu," Mu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment that he had woken up, so she quickly got up to check, only to find that his eyes were still closed.

"General Mu, I'm sorry..." he murmured.

"Fool." Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but say softly. She had forgiven him a long time ago.

"General Mu, marry me...marry me."

Mu Xiaoqiao's face turned red. What's wrong with this guy? Even when he was unconscious, he still didn't forget about marrying her. Is he so persistent?

Ruan Haoyu muttered something again, but Mu Xiaoqiao didn't hear it clearly. She fled out of the cave, took a deep breath, and patted her cheeks. They were very hot and must have been red.

Mu Xiaoqiao walked a few steps along the river. She didn't dare to go too far away. She stared at the clear river water and thought about her things. Suddenly, her eyes focused and a look of joy appeared on her face. There was a fish!

Catching fish is not a problem for General Mu, so at noon, Mu Xiaoqiao stewed a pot of fish soup and grilled a fish for himself and had a delicious meal.

But Ruan Haoyu was more troublesome. Mu Xiaoqiao had just fed him a few sips of fish soup and he vomited it all out. He couldn't drink any of it at all!

Moreover, his body seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. No matter how Mu Xiaoqiao applied a cold towel and wiped his body, his high fever could not be reduced.

It lasted until the morning of the next day, when Mu Xiaoqiao finally decided not to wait any longer. She had to take Ruan Haoyu out of here and find a doctor.

She made a stretcher with branches and vines, covered it with several thick layers of leaves, and gently placed Ruan Haoyu on it. She then pulled the vines onto her shoulders and dragged Ruan Haoyu out of the valley.

The nearest place could only be the capital of Nanrong. Mu Xiaoqiao identified the direction and limped on his way.

Unexpectedly, the journey which originally took only two days by carriage took Mu Xiaoqiao four whole days. Both of her shoulders were already worn out. Mu Xiaoqiao could only grit her teeth and persevere. Ruan Haoyu continued to have a high fever and his breathing was getting weaker and weaker. She did not dare to waste time.

God helps those who work hard, one day, Mu Xiaoqiao finally saw a village.

She was overjoyed and quickened her pace towards the village. Just as she reached the entrance of the village, her feet went weak and she fell to the ground.

A woodcutter happened to pass by carrying firewood on his back. Seeing this, he quickly put down the firewood and came over, saying, "Girl, are you okay?"

Mu Xiaoqiao stretched out her hands. Both of them were broken and bleeding. She shook her head and said, "Brother, my brother and I are from other places. We were going to the capital to visit relatives. We ran into robbers on the way. My brother was seriously injured in order to save me. I beg you to lend a hand and help my brother find a doctor, okay?"
