Shen Yitian had no idea that she was blinding people with the flashlight, and she was excitedly asking them for directions down the mountain.

The man's eyes were blinded by the strong light. He finally managed to see a little bit and saw her face with a bright smile.

"What are you holding? It's so shiny." Instead of answering Shen Yitian's question, he asked back.

"Ah?" Shen Yitian thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly hid the flashlight in her sleeve.

Then he brought out the same words he had used to fool Yuan Dutou and the others: "It's just a night-shining pearl, a little brighter than a torch."

The hunter's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked at her hands hidden behind her, with an expression of "guess whether I believe it or not".

"Really, it's the night pearl." Shen Yitian suddenly panicked and said hurriedly.

The hunter's eyes, which had been dazzled by the strong light, had gradually recovered and he could see more and more clearly. When he saw the panic expression that flashed across her face, an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you here? Did you come from over there?" He looked at Shen Yitian and asked.

Shen Yitian was still thinking about how to make up for the matter of the night pearl, but she heard him suddenly change the question.

"Ah, well, yes, I came from that side."

The person who asked the question changed the topic smoothly, but her answer was a bit stiff.

"Why did you come in from this side? Didn't you say yesterday that you would just rest outside the cave?" The hunter seemed a little unhappy.

Shen Yitian was not quite sure why Yuan Dutou was so cowardly that day. He just believed whatever the people in the cave said without refutation.

But she also knew that she came from a book and was not familiar with the rules of this world. Since Yuan Dutou could become a Dutou, he must have his considerations in doing things.

Then there is no need for her to provoke the hunter now.

"Well, I accidentally came in from that side this morning. There was no one in the cave at that time, and I thought I could leave." She lowered her head and spoke hesitantly.

The hunter said, "I see."

Then, the cave fell into deathly silence.

The hunter and Shen Yitian looked at each other in silence for a moment, and neither of them had any intention of letting Shen Yitian go.

Shen Yitian groaned inwardly. The flashlight remained on, and she quietly put the dagger back into the space.

However, just as the dagger was thrown back into space, the hunter on the opposite side spoke.

"Besides the light from your...night-shining pearl, I seemed to sense a ray of cold light. Do you have a weapon?"

Shen Yitian gritted her teeth and said, "Well, yes, it's not too much to have a weapon."

She thought to herself, the weapon didn't hurt you, why ask this.

The hunter didn't know what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "It's not too much, it's good."

Then he asked, "What is it? Can I see it?"

"It's just an ordinary dagger, why are you looking at it?" Shen Yitian was speechless.

The hunter fell silent again. In the dim environment, Shen Yitian couldn't see his expression clearly. She could only judge from his breathing that he didn't seem to be emotionally stable.

Shen Yitian was really exhausted today. She dragged her sprained foot around the mountain for a long time and felt numb all over.

Now she had to stand there like she was in a military posture, which drew all her attention to her sprained foot.

I was originally thinking about getting to the cave quickly and taking out something to feed the prisoners, so that I could have something else to distract myself and not feel the pain that much.

At this moment, her attention was focused on the pain, and she suddenly felt the pain become piercing, and even standing was difficult.

"Hiss." She couldn't help but gasp in pain.

"What's wrong?" The hunter suddenly spoke, his tone a little anxious.

Shen Yitian sniffed and said, "I fell into a pit this morning and twisted my ankle."

She just said it briefly and didn't say how much it hurt.

The hunter suddenly remembered that she had indeed fallen into a pit in the morning and was rescued.

"You twisted your ankle, and yet you still walked such a long way?" The hunter's voice was still clear, but he seemed a little displeased.

Shen Yitian felt a pang of pain in her heart. After hearing this, she didn't want to walk either.

But she was an exiled prisoner in this desolate mountain. If she didn't listen to the officers and help find a way, what else could she do? Just sit and wait?

Could the officers let her sit and wait?

Before she could explain, the hunter stepped forward and said, "Let's go over there and rest for a while."

After saying that, he was about to help her, but his hand froze in mid-air, as if he didn't know where to help. He didn't have the same agility he had when he saved people that morning.

"I can walk by myself." Shen Yitian couldn't help but speak when she saw how embarrassed he was.

She bent down and picked up the dead wood that she had thrown away in a hurry, and used it to lean on as a walking stick.

Seeing this, the hunter put his hand back and moved to the side, as if waiting for her to leave first.

Shen Yitian, whose feet were so painful that she was about to pass out, didn't bother to be polite with him. She limped forward, leaning on a dead tree.

There was an ambiguous emotion flashing between the hunter's brows, and after a moment he followed.

When she arrived at the place where the ashes were in the morning, Shen Yitian saw that there was indeed a fire there.

There seemed to be faint voices ahead, probably the officers and prisoners had reached another exit of the cave.

She couldn't get anything out if she went there now, and it was difficult to explain to Yuan Dutou, so she simply sat down next to the fire, thinking that there was a turning here, and she could go there to get something out of the space.

"Why are you walking alone? Won't the officers think you're trying to escape?" The hunter had already sat down a little distance away from her and asked casually as he threw two pieces of firewood into the fire.

"Oh, I said I twisted my ankle and it would be closer if I walked from here, and they agreed." Shen Yitian started to tell lies seriously again.

The hunter didn't doubt it, but nodded and said, "It's indeed a little closer."

Then he asked, "Have you eaten?"

When Shen Yitian heard this, she started to complain again.

Of course she didn't eat anything. She originally thought of sitting down here and taking some of her favorite food from the space and eating it peacefully, but who knew there was someone here!

And this person even asked her if she had eaten anything, which made her so frustrated that she wanted to cry.

"No." She answered sullenly, burying her head between her legs, wondering silently whether this man would leave tonight.

The hunter seemed to have guessed her answer, so he walked over and took out a roasted fish and a roasted pheasant.

"Eat, you've made it." He said softly.

"Huh?" Shen Yitian looked up in surprise, and saw him stuff the two things into her hands, then sat back down.

"If that's not enough, there are some cakes here." The hunter took out an oil-paper bag from the side and threw it to her from a distance.

What a familiar scene, what a familiar picture.

Shen Yitian didn't have time to think about it and quickly reached out to catch the oil paper bag.

If she didn't take it, the oil-paper package would hit her on the head, and she didn't want to be hit on the head by the oil-paper package.

Even though she is in a mess now.
