Xie Beiheng looked at the person in front of him who was breathing heavily, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but he seemed to be completely unaware of the fatigue. His eyes were bright and his spirits were high.

He also smiled unconsciously, his dark eyes filled with tenderness, "Really? Xiangxiang is really amazing!"

Lin Xiangxiang leaned over and carefully helped him up from the ground. With a bright smile on her face, she said excitedly, "Of course it's true. I can't believe it myself!"

"You don't know, I searched for a long time but couldn't find the cave. I felt very disappointed."

"Then I kept walking and walking, and suddenly I saw a steep rock wall. I thought about going around it to see if I could find a cave."

"I didn't expect to see a small wooden house after going around the rock face. Wow! It still feels like a dream!"

Xie Beiheng supported her hand and slowly stood up, with a weak smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiangxiang. I can't wait to see it!"

Lin Xiangxiang helped him carefully walk across the gravel, smiling and nodding, "Well, let's go quickly, it's getting dark soon!"

The two of them carefully walked through the bushes and slowly headed towards the wooden house along the route Lin Xiangxiang had taken.

It would only take Lin Xiangxiang more than ten minutes to walk this road by herself, but because she had to support Xie Beiheng, it took them nearly half an hour to arrive.

At this moment, the sun is setting and has gradually sunk behind the mountains, and the light around is becoming dimmer and dimmer.

The two entered the house. The floor was made of dirt. There was definitely no bed, but there was a layer of dry grass in the corner. Lin Xiangxiang struggled to help Xie Beiheng to the haystack and let him lie down slowly.

His body was burning hot, like it was on fire!

Damn it! There's no fever reducer here! And his wound needs to be cleaned and bandaged quickly, otherwise he'll die!

The key point is that the clothes on both of them are still wet. If they continue to spend the night wrapped like this, she might get sick too!

Fortunately, it is summer now, hot during the day and the temperature is not low at night, otherwise who can hold on!

Lin Xiangxiang looked anxiously at the gradually darkening sky outside the door, then glanced at the few things in the wooden house, quickly calculating in her mind.

Then, she quickly picked up Xie Beiheng's sword from the floor, cut the edge of her skirt in two, and picked up the black iron pot on the stone.

He shouted to Xie Beiheng, "Xie Beiheng, take a rest first. I'll go to the river to get some water before it gets dark."

After dragging his body for so long, Xie Beiheng felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier after lying down, and he could no longer open them.

In a daze, he only knew that it was getting dark outside, and murmured softly: "Xiangxiang, it's dangerous, don't go out..."

But...what can we do without water?

Lin Xiangxiang didn't bother to persuade him and ran out quickly with the pot.

She originally wanted to run back to the riverbank along the same route, but she had run less than a hundred meters when she was startled to death by a bird that jumped out of the bushes.

Not knowing if there were any other dangerous creatures, Lin Xiangxiang stood there, not daring to move, staring around vigilantly.

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence. Hmm? She seemed to hear the sound of running water.

Lin Xiangxiang blinked in confusion.

It takes at least fifteen minutes to walk from here to the previous river beach. Logically, the sound should not be able to reach this side.

His eyes suddenly lit up!

So, there's water flowing nearby?

Lin Xiangxiang held the pot in her hand and walked quickly and cautiously in the direction where the sound of water came from.

After walking for less than five minutes, the sound of running water became louder and louder. She quickened her pace and after passing through a patch of dense grass, the view in front of her suddenly opened up.

A clear stream flowed slowly, the water varied in depth, the deepest part only reaching her knees.

Lin Xiangxiang guessed that this should be a tributary of the river they had been to before.

"No wonder the hunters built their cabin there. It's so close to the water!"

Lin Xiangxiang didn't have time to look at it carefully. She stood by the stream, washed her face quickly, and then cleaned the pot and the cut cloth in her hands.

She looked around and found a relatively clean place. After filling the pot with water to 80%, she hurriedly picked up the pot.

"It's so heavy..."

This pot is not very big, about five liters, but unlike holding a sword, holding the pot requires relying entirely on the strength of the wrist.

Lin Xiangxiang held the pot, gritted her teeth, and ran quickly towards the wooden house.

When she returned to the wooden house covered in sweat, Xie Beiheng had already fallen into a coma. Lin Xiangxiang saw that his cheeks were flushed, sweat was constantly coming out of his forehead, and his lips kept opening and closing. He seemed to be in great pain!

Lin Xiangxiang stroked his cheek with one hand, her eyes moist with heartache.

If I hadn't saved her, if I hadn't blocked the arrow for her, if I hadn't jumped off the cliff with her, how could this have happened...

Tears rolled down Lin Xiangxiang's eyes, but she quickly wiped them away.

Don’t cry, now is not the time to cry!

Lin Xiangxiang stood up quickly and walked anxiously to the stone stove, looking for something carefully.

"No……"

“There is no…”

"That's impossible! There's a stove and a pot here, so there should be something to make a fire..."

The tools used to make fire in ancient times were nothing more than tinder and flint.

Lin Xiangxiang looked around, her face becoming more and more anxious. There was no place to hide anything in this small wooden house.

Why doesn't she bring a lighter when she goes out?

Just when Lin Xiangxiang was feeling desperate, her eyes suddenly fell on a small pile of firewood in the corner of the room.

Without any hesitation, he walked over quickly and picked up the firewood.

A round bamboo tube about ten centimeters long suddenly appeared in front of her. Wow! Lin Xiangxiang was so happy that she almost cried.

"God bless it, it can still be used..."

Judging from the situation in the house, it doesn’t look like no one has been there for a long time.

Lin Xiangxiang quickly picked up the tinder, opened the lid, took a deep breath and blew gently, and sparks instantly ignited in the bamboo tube.

Lin Xiangxiang's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she quickly closed the lid.

There is only a small pile of firewood left by the hunter in the house, which is not enough. There is almost no firewood outside. I must go and collect enough firewood for tonight!

"Don't let it get dark too quickly, don't let it get dark too quickly..."

At this moment, every minute and every second seems particularly precious.

Lin Xiangxiang squatted down and looked at Xie Beiheng worriedly, then put the tinderbox next to him, stood up and hurried out of the wooden house.

(I think many people don’t like to read this part, but I like it very much. This is the plot I thought of since I started reading the book. I love Xie Beiheng and Lin Xiangxiang very much. This part is mainly to sublimate the relationship between them, because the cause of the male protagonist’s death will be revealed step by step later!)
