"Are you awake?" Lu Mingyun walked in from outside.

"Not awake yet." Li Mofu reached out to touch his feet and immediately gasped in pain.

"Eat a couple of bites, we'll be leaving soon. I'll wash your clothes when we pass by the water." Lu Mingyun said as he handed him two wild fruits.

Li Mofu grinned as he wiped the fruit and took a bite. Although it wasn't sweet, it wasn't sour either. He didn't know where he found it, but he managed to fill his stomach. "Will you carry me?"

"Back." Lu Mingyun squatted on the ground with his back to him. He was also covered in dust, and both of them looked in a mess.

After eating the fruit, Li Mofu tied up his hair casually. His hairpin and purse were still there. As long as he could find a village or town, they could apply medicine on his feet.

It was just dawn outside the cave. Lu Mingyun carried him on his back as they walked through the woods, trying to find a way. Li Mofu lay on his back, wanting to sleep. "I asked you before, and you said we'd be fine along the way. It's so cold and desolate out here. Will we die along the way?"

"..." Lu Mingyun frowned. He wanted to say that everything was fine and asked Li Mofu to stop talking nonsense, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

Lu Mingyun is seventeen this year and will be eighteen in ten days, but he has rarely left the capital over the years. Even if he leaves, he always follows his father or brings servants with him.

This was the first time he had to survive alone in the forest, so he didn't dare to make any guarantees. He just hoped he could reunite with Mo Yi and the others as soon as possible.

"Were you beaten mute last night?" Li Mofu parted Lu Mingyun's hair and blew air on his neck.

Lu Mingyun shuddered, furious, and said fiercely, "If you make trouble again, I'll throw you down!"

"...Tsk, you're angry already? How petty." Li Mofu was also angry, but it was too tiring to hold his neck straight, so after a while he leaned on Lu Mingyun's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Along the way, there were few other sounds except the chirping of insects, birds and some rustling sounds. It seemed that there was even little wind here, let alone meeting people.

If he hadn't climbed up the tree to check the direction, Lu Mingyun would have been in doubt at this moment. As he walked, feeling the body temperature and breathing of the person on his back, Lu Mingyun couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how light a person is, carrying him/her for a long time will feel like carrying a big stone, let alone if the person being carried is a big man.

Li Mofu was half asleep, occasionally awakened by the sunlight, and then a question suddenly occurred to him. He and the male protagonist shared the pain. If his foot hurt, did the male protagonist also feel pain?

However, he quickly put this problem behind him. It was because of the shared pain that the male protagonist needed to carry him. Otherwise, wouldn't both of them be in excruciating pain when he walked?

But here I have to admire Lu Mingyun's ability to pretend. When Li Mofu touched his wound, he grimaced in pain, but Lu Mingyun didn't show any reaction.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Lu Mingyun heard the sound of water ahead, so he quickened his pace and headed towards the source of the sound. As he got closer, he felt that it was a river!

After jogging for a while, Lu Mingyun ran out of the forest and came to a river beach. In front of him was a three-meter-wide river.

The river water is very clear, there are many rounded stones washed on the bank, and some dead grass on the river beach.

If I follow the stream, I should be able to find someone. It would be much better to ask for directions than to walk around blindly, Lu Mingyun thought.

"Put me down and wash my feet." Li Mofu woke up when he heard the sound of water. He felt his feet were a little hot, and washing them in the water might make them feel better.

Lu Mingyun put him down in the river and went to pick leaves and drink water.

"Comfortable~" Li Mofu put his feet into the water, and the cool river water immediately cooled the inflamed and red wound.

After feeling more comfortable, Li Mofu began to clean the wound. The pain of the iced wound was reduced a little. Otherwise, it would be extremely painful for him to clean the sand, mud and rotten skin directly.

"Wait here, I'll go collect firewood." Lu Mingyun caught two fish from the cracks in the rocks and threw them next to Li Mofu.
