Xiao Yinhuan looked towards the cave entrance, which was well shielded by tree branches and also had the light of a fire. He felt inexplicably relieved.

"What did she do today? Why is she hiding in the cave?"

Ping An recounted what happened today, emphasizing that Shen Yinong slaughtered a chicken.

Xiao Yinhuan couldn't imagine that scene, and sighed, "She looks so delicate, but she would kill a chicken?"

"The girl chased the chicken for almost an entire afternoon before she successfully killed it. She might have been very hungry and wanted to eat meat."

Xiao Yinhuan thought of the scene of her running fearfully with a knife while catching the chicken, and a look of pleasure appeared on his face.

"She hasn't eaten anything?"

"should be."

"Are you injured?"

"No."

Xiao Yinhuan stood in the woods, his whole body immersed in the night. Because he ran so fast, there was a hint of fatigue on his face.

The corners of his robe were slightly lifted by the summer breeze, and his whole body stood straight as a pine tree. As long as she was not injured, the man breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the dust on his boots from horse racing, a little stunned.

All the way, I was worried that she would be taken away by Gu Yan.

If she was taken away, he would most likely kill Gu Yan.

The moonlight covered his face like a veil, and the man shook his head at the moon.

His boots turned in another direction and he stepped towards the cave entrance. Because it was blocked by branches, he kicked it open. Hearing the noise, Shen Yinong quickly reached for his gun and quietly hid aside.

An animal or a bad guy?

There are bears and wolves in the mountains.

When Xiao Yinhuan stepped in, her hand was already on the trigger of the gun. Xiao Yinhuan knew that she would point the gun at him. He spoke in a low voice, "Shen Yinong, it's me."

At the same time, he grabbed Shen Yinong's gun, and the gun went off accidentally, hitting the wall of the cave with a bang, and a round hole immediately appeared.

"What? You want to kill me again?" He looked at her.

Holding the gun in his hand, Xiao Yinhuan felt it carefully. It was hard and slightly cool in texture. He had never seen such a material before in his life.

The style of the gun is unprecedented.

Shen Yinong didn't expect it was him.

She tried to grab her gun, but Xiao Yinhuan didn't tease her and let her take it easily.

Then he looked up at her.

She had lit a big fire in the cave, which was very bright and made her rosy face particularly clear. Perhaps because of the heat, the loose hair on her forehead was all stuck to her temples, and she was not hurt.

His face looked like a tabby cat's, probably because he had been struggling for a long time without knowing how to make a fire.

Such a pampered person who knows nothing dares to live in a cave and even kill chickens.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you know where to call for help?"

Seeing that Shen Yinong was only paying attention to her gun and didn't even look at him, the person who was ignored was not happy, and his low voice was already cold.

"How do you know I'm here?" Shen Yinong put away his gun and looked up to ask him.

Xiao Yinhuan fixed his eyes on her face, "If I don't come, will you leave with Gu Yan?"

"Yes, and I have a carriage."

Shen Yinong was concentrating on putting the gun away and didn't notice the dangerous darkness in Xiao Yinhuan's eyes.

"Oh, take a carriage." Xiao Yinhuan took a step forward and approached her. "You can't take a carriage with me? Why are you running away with another man?"

He put his hand on her chin, gently lifted her face, and forced her to look at him, "Or do you like Gu Yan?"

His eyes were dark, as if covered by a layer of haze, and could not be seen clearly, but one could somehow tell that he was in a low mood and not very happy.

"Why should I like him? He wanted to jump into the river, and I saved him."

She was forced to raise her head and look at him, firelight dancing in her eyes. Her gaze was still so clean and clear that one could be drawn in at a glance.

"Shen Yinong, you save everyone."

Shen Yinong was speechless. She couldn't just stand by and watch him die. She was still young and had received formal education. The virtues of propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness were deeply instilled in her mind. She was also a sunny and kind person.

"I saved yours, too."

She's pretty good at talking.

"From now on, you can only save me and not others. If others want to jump into the river or jump off the cliff, it has nothing to do with you. Do you hear me?"

Shen Yinong: ???

No, Xiao Yinhuan, aren't you being too nosy?

"Why don't you come to Cangzhou to find me?"

Shen Yinong: ???

She didn't feel good being with him before. This man was emotionally unstable and loved to intimidate her. She wanted to stay away from him.

"We are not familiar with each other."

His hands were too hot, and the heat seeped into her skin little by little through his fingertips. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt him tighten his grip on her chin.

"Oh, you are not familiar with me, right? You are familiar with that Gu Yan? Why didn't you say you were not familiar with me when you rushed to hug me on Ghost Mountain?" The cold fragrance on his body was approaching, his body was as black as a ghost in the dark night, his eyes became gloomy, and his voice was cold and deep that did not belong to summer.

"I didn't know him well."

After saying this, the force on his chin tightened.

"Hey, it hurts, you pinched me." Shen Yinong patted his hand, "Why do you always like to pinch people?"

Xiao Yinhuan let go of her hand and saw that her chin was indeed red. He stared at the red and commented, "Squeamish."

It turns red when touched.

"From now on, you are not allowed to go with strange men except me. You are really careless. You went with Gu Yan knowing whether he was a good guy or a bad guy?"

Shen Yinong found this sentence quite funny.

She muttered quietly, "You sound like a good person, but you look worse than him." She clutched the hem of her skirt, "At least he didn't threaten me, nor did he torture anyone in front of me."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yinhuan glanced at her with a sinister look in his eyes, "You said I'm worse than Gu Yan?"

Xiao Yinhuan approached her step by step, "Shen Yinong, you should have some conscience, I rescued you from Ghost Mountain, took you to eat delicious food, bought you clothes, and opened an inn for you to sleep in. You want the Mandragora Jade Pendant, I will give it to you too."

Shen Yinong was forced to retreat step by step by him.

"What about you? How did you treat me?" Seeing her blushing, he raised his hand and pinched her. "You didn't know what was good for you and ran away without saying a word. You didn't even leave a letter. Now you want to go with another man. Am I not good enough to you and not indulgent enough?"

Shen Yinong didn't even want to expose him.

"Why did you buy me clothes again? I wanted to buy that peach-colored long skirt with a hug waist. I asked you to lend me money, but you were so mean and refused to lend me money. I have never seen a man as stingy as you."

Xiao Yinhuan: “…”

He was stingy? Didn't he give her a stack of banknotes later?

"Didn't I buy it for you later?"

Shen Yinong snorted and didn't appreciate it. "You slap me in the face and give me a candy. Who cares? Gu Yan saw that my clothes were wet and immediately compensated me with one. And you should be reasonable. Gu Yan compensated me with clothes because he was afraid that I would catch a cold."

Gu Yan. Gu Yan. Gu Yan. After being in the cave for so long, the person she talked about the most was Gu Yan.

Xiao Yinhuan then looked towards her. She was wearing a goose yellow floor-length dress that wrapped snugly around her waist. The color was as bright as her smile, and it suited her very well.

She braided her hair in front of her and pinned a bright red camellia to the end of her hair, looking very fashionable.

But his brows were still furrowed, and his eyes were darker and colder than the night reflected in the cave behind him. "Did Gu Yan buy the skirt?"
