Everyone went back to their rooms to rest for a night, and the team continued on their journey the next day.

Just two days after we left, it started to drizzle, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, and it continued to rain all day long.

"Why does the rain never stop?" When they stopped to rest at noon that day, Ma Qiao complained while patting the water droplets on his raincoat.

He was born in the Dark Stone Wasteland, where the climate is very dry and it rarely rains, so he felt a little uncomfortable after being caught in the rain for a few days.

Cen Yanhuai smiled and replied, "This is the climate here. Once spring comes, it rains continuously. You can't stand the light rain these past few days? When we get to Tongling County ahead, it may rain even harder. Tongling County is in a special location and it rains all year round. It rains most of the time!"

Zhu Yuan nodded and said, "Back then, my father encountered a heavy rain in Tongling County and caught a cold, which caused his old illness to relapse and he passed away."

Bai Jiri saw Zhu Yuan had a sad look on his face and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Zhu Yuan reminded us that we must be mentally prepared for heavy rain in Tongling County and stay alert at all times!" The prefect said seriously after hearing what they said.

Seeing the governor's serious expression, everyone nodded solemnly.

After walking for another four or five days, they left Puling County and entered Tongling County. As Cen Yanhuai had said, the rain became heavier.

That day, the team was walking in the passage between two mountains when suddenly a loud "boom" sound was heard in the distance.

Everyone was shocked and looked around, but saw nothing unusual.

"What's that sound?" Ma Qiao asked Cen Yanhuai in surprise.

Cen Yanhuai frowned and shook his head, looking at his father. The governor stroked his beard and thought for a moment, his face suddenly changed: "Not good, I'm afraid it's a mountain torrent and a mudslide!"

Bai Jiri reacted immediately and ran forward: "I'll have everyone speed up!"

The governor shouted, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, we are not far from the exit of the alley, everyone, hurry up and get out!"

The front of the convoy quickly walked out of the alley, and Bai Jiyue's carriage was at the end, but it only needed twenty or thirty meters to walk out of the alley.

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard a loud "boom" above her head. Looking up, she saw a mudslide suddenly appearing on the hillside above her head and rushing down like a wild beast.

The horse pulling the cart was running very fast, but after hearing the "boom" sound, it was probably frightened and stopped and refused to move!

In a hurry, Bai Jiyue had to draw out his dagger and poke the horse's butt hard. The horse felt pain and ran forward neighing, but the force was so great that Bai Jiyue was thrown off the carriage.

Bai Jiyue didn't care about the pain from being thrown by the horse. He struggled to get up and tried to run, but it was too late. Stones of all sizes had already rolled down.

Bai Jiyue had no time to dodge and was about to be hit by a huge rock, but suddenly she felt her waist tighten and a huge force pushed her out.

She fell to the ground and looked back, just in time to see a large rock rolling down and hitting Mingyuan's shoulder. It turned out that Mingyuan had pushed her just now, but he himself was hit by the rock!

Bai Jiyue hurriedly turned around to save him, but heard him shouting "Don't come over", then he stood up, dodged other stones with extremely agile steps, and ran out. Even so, his right shoulder was still stained with blood.

Bai Jiyue felt guilty, so she quickly tore off a piece of her skirt and walked over to him and hugged his right shoulder tightly.

Ming Yuan lowered his head and watched her bandage himself, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He knew that if he got hurt saving her, she would feel sorry for him!

When the boulder fell just now, he could have used his own strength to smash it to pieces, but he changed his mind the moment he was about to strike out with his palm. He just lightly patted the boulder, letting it hit his right shoulder. This not only concealed his strength, but also made her feel sorry for him!

"Are you okay?" After Bai Jiyue bandaged the wound, he looked at Ming Yuan with concern and asked.

Ming Yuan deliberately frowned and made a painful gesture, without saying anything.

Bai Jiyue became a little nervous: "Are you injured anywhere else? Let me take a look?"

Ming Yuan staggered two steps and seemed to be leaning towards Bai Jiyue with some strength gone.

Bai Jiyue was so worried about his injury that she didn't see through his "trick". She naturally reached out to support him and let him lean on her shoulder: "What's wrong with you?"

"Ahem," Ming Yuan said in a painful voice, "Maybe I have some internal injuries."

"Let's get out quickly!" Bai Jiyue immediately helped him walk out.

"My legs are weak..."

"Then hold me!" Bai Jiyue lifted his left arm and placed it on her shoulder.

The girl's clothes were completely wet by the rain and stuck to her body, revealing her slender figure. When she leaned against Ming Yuan, her body temperature came over, causing Ming Yuan's heart to surge.

He narrowed his eyes, and an indescribable comfort surged in his heart.

Hmm... It's been a long time since I've been this close to this girl. This feeling is really good...

He retracted his arms and wanted to hug Bai Jiyue in his arms, but at this moment, a strong hand grabbed his arm.

"Let me do it, you're tired." Bai Ji Ri said to his sister, and moved Ming Yuan's arm to his shoulder.

The corners of Mingyuan's mouth suddenly drooped!

Just as he was about to push Bai Jiri away, he heard Bai Jiyue say, "Okay, we were in such a hurry just now that we didn't treat the wound properly. I'll go get some medicine and rebandage his wound later."

The corners of Mingyuan's lips raised again, the opportunity to be alone has come!

Once his mood improved, he no longer minded a grown man supporting him and let him carry him as he walked out.

While Ming Yuan was "risking his own life" to save Bai Jiyue, the others had already moved the carriage carrying the tribute out of the alley and into an open area.

Some people started to set up tents, and Mingyuan was the first one to enter the tent to rest because he was injured.

After entering, he saw Bai Jiyue was already inside. She had just taken out the medicine box and was waiting for Mingyuan.

Seeing them come in, Bai Jiyue pointed to the bench and said, "Sit down and take off your right shoulder."

Bai Ji Ri helped Ming Yuan sit down and reached out to help Ming Yuan untie his clothes, but Ming Yuan held his hand.

"I'll do it myself, you go out." He said to Bai Yiri.

This kind of time should be spent alone together, so how could he allow an outsider to watch?

Unexpectedly, Bai Jiri did not move at all, and only said: "Men and women should not touch each other, it's more convenient with me here."

The corners of Mingyuan's lips twitched slightly. What was the point of not kissing? He and she had already kissed each other to the point where they couldn't be any closer!

He looked up at Bai Jiyue. Bai Jiyue's brows were indifferent, and it seemed that he had no objection to Bai Jiri's words.

This girl is so heartless...

He reluctantly withdrew his gaze and looked at Bai Jiri, his tone softer than before: "Brother Bai, I'm very cold, could you please boil some hot water for me to drink?"

To increase credibility, he hugged his arms tightly, and with this movement, the blood on his right shoulder, which was about to coagulate, flowed down again.
