The prince is very cruel

It’s hard to imagine how big this place is!

A river of unknown origin runs across the slope. It is only five or six meters wide, the water is extremely clear, and there are many animal footprints beside the river.

"This should be the river that Mr. Xu was talking about. We have to go right next." Guan Ning muttered to himself, feeling that he was getting closer to the so-called Shenlongjia.

"Then my lord, shall we leave now?" Nie Yang pursed his dry lips.

After such a long journey, the water we brought with us was already gone.

"Take a break first, there's no rush."

"You guys go get some water from upstream and make something hot to eat. I'm going to soak my feet." Guan Ning couldn't stand the burning pain in his right ankle all the time. It was now even more swollen than last night.

"it is good!"

As they spoke, the three of them split up, some fetched water, and some started a fire.

"hiss!"

"Ah!" Guan Ning endured the severe pain and took off his shoes bit by bit. His ankles had long since changed beyond their original appearance. They were horribly red, swollen and bruised, as if they were filled with water.

Without hesitation, he put his feet into the gurgling stream. The cold water instantly relieved his burning ankles.

"call!!"

Guan Ning exhaled deeply, and his soul felt like it had left his body. It felt so good!

He couldn't help but lie down. The scent of soil and grass, and the feeling of the slanting sunlight on his face made him forget the pain and his worries. Before he knew it, he fell asleep very quickly.

When I woke up again, it was already afternoon. The sun was lazy, and everything in the primeval forest was growing. It was completely different from Lingnan last night.

"My lord, you're awake!" Nie Yang said with a silly smile.

"How long have I slept?" Guan Ning sat up and patted the dirt on the back of his head, very casually.

"My lord, it's been three hours, no more, no less."

"Brother Shengqi and I were afraid you wouldn't get enough rest, so we didn't disturb you. Oh, my Lord, here's some hot porridge and a fish we just fished out of the ditch."

"Eat it while it's hot."

Guan Ning took a look and immediately thought of Qin Yao and the others. It was like this when he was at home. Whenever it was time to eat, Qin Yao and the others would find ways to feed him, for fear that he would lose weight.

Although the conditions in this primeval forest were a little poor, it was better to have something than nothing. He picked it up and started to gobble it up.

The fish was delicious and wrapped in a lotus leaf. He finished it in no time.

After eating, he took out the small knife he carried with him and planned to shave himself. He faced the clear river water and had just shaved when suddenly, his eyes were attracted by something.

"Hmm?" He asked suspiciously, reaching out and picking up something from the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the ditch.

"Earring!" Guan Ning was surprised. He looked left and right. It was also an earring, a woman's earring, made of silver, with a piece of emerald green jade in it, shining brightly in the sun.

"Why are there earrings in this place?"

"Even if he is an exiled prisoner, he should be wearing prison uniform and penniless, right?" he muttered.

"Prince, what's wrong?" Shengqi came over.

"It's okay." Guan Ning shook his head and looked up at the sky: "It's almost time, let's continue."

"Okay!" Shengqi quickly went to get the horse.

Guan Ning lifted his foot out of the river. It was still red and swollen and he couldn't walk on the ground, but the burning pain had subsided a lot.

Nie Yang made him a crutch, which made Guan Ning laugh and cry. This kid is really thoughtful. It’s not like his leg is broken.

After getting on the horse, there was another long journey. According to Mr. Xu, after he reached the river, he walked to the right for a day and a night before reaching the red maple forest.

Riding a horse is faster, but it will still take at least ten hours.

During this period, when it was dark, Guan Ning once again encountered wild beasts, and they were a pack of wolves!

But fortunately, Guan Ning was more careful this time. After discovering it first, he walked around it without alarming the wolves, otherwise it would have been trouble.
