The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

The three of them finished their barbecue, each lost in their own thoughts. Li Muxia wiped her mouth clean with a handkerchief, looked at the sky, and said, "It looks like it's going to rain. I wonder how far it is from here to the next post station."

At this point, he glanced at Feng Yuhan and asked, "Sect Master Feng, what should we do next?"

Feng Yuhan also looked up at the sky. The thick dark clouds looked like it was about to rain. He looked away and said, "The next post station is at least two hours away. It's not suitable to travel any further in this situation. Let's find a place to rest and take shelter from the rain."

He glanced at Qingyun at this point, and Qingyun immediately understood and slipped away.

Once Qingyun left, only Li Muxia and Feng Yuhan remained. Realizing that there were only the two of them and recalling her own guesses, Li Muxia felt somewhat awkward.

As if sensing Li Muxia's discomfort, Feng Yuhan took the initiative to say, "Today, I'm afraid you'll have to make do with us and camp out in the wild."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia quickly replied, "It's nothing. I used to go camping in the wild with my teacher all the time, so I'm used to it."

After saying that, he realized he might have let something slip and quickly corrected himself: "What I meant was that when I was with my master, we often camped out in the wild."

Feng Yuhan had no doubts, because the message Qingyun had given him earlier did mention that Li Muxia and the others hadn't made it to the post station in time and had to camp out, but it didn't mention the kind of frequent occurrence that Li Muxia had described.

Feng Yuhan nodded and said, "Mm."

The atmosphere became awkward again, but fortunately, it didn't last long because Qingyun returned and found them a place to get a good night's sleep.

The three quickly packed their things, extinguished the fire, and followed Qingyun to the cave he had found.

Looking at the cave entrance hidden by dense dry grass, Li Muxia wanted to give Qingyun a thumbs up. The cave was so well hidden, yet it was still discovered. What a talent!

The group entered the cave, and Li Muxia carefully looked around. She was surprised to find that the outside was inconspicuous, but the inside was quite large. There was also dry grass laid out inside the cave, and some animal hair could be seen scattered on the ground.

Li Muxia was a little scared and asked uncertainly, "Have we stumbled into the lair of some large wild beast?"

Qingyun quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss. I've already checked. This cave was indeed the nest of some kind of animal before, but that animal should have left a long time ago. Now it's an abandoned cave, so you and the Pavilion Master can rest here without worry."

Li Muxia nodded after hearing this, then realized what she meant and quickly asked, "Aren't you going to rest here?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyun honestly replied, "This subordinate will go and keep watch outside."

Li Muxia was about to say something when Feng Yuhan interrupted her: "Hmm, this place is nice, let's go down."

Qingyun accepted the order and left the cave.

Li Muxia quickly caught up and said, "Hey, wait a minute."

However, Feng Yuhan pulled him back immediately.

Li Muxia looked at Feng Yuhan with confusion and said, "This place is spacious enough for three people to sleep comfortably. It's very likely to rain tonight, and Qingyun might get sick if he gets wet. He's your subordinate; don't you care about him at all?"

Feng Yuhan felt very uncomfortable listening to Li Muxia's accusations. He seemed quite concerned about Qingyun, though, and said defiantly, "It's his duty."

Li Muxia was speechless. She really didn't understand what this person was thinking. What about responsibilities? Didn't he know that in an emergency, one should act expediently?

During the past few days, Li Muxia only regarded Qingyun as a friend. She thought that there was no danger at the moment, and there were only the three of them here, so there was no need to hide themselves outside anymore.

However, since Qingyun was Feng Yuhan's man and he had already agreed to go out, what use would it be for him to say anything more? So he simply stopped caring and walked to one side of the cave to sit down, feeling somewhat depressed.

Feng Yuhan looked at Li Muxia, who was somewhat angry, and sighed helplessly, saying, "Qingyun, as a guard of the Shadow Pavilion, has participated in guard training. He can handle this situation on his own. And you don't need to worry about him getting wet in the rain. There is a small cave entrance next to this cave. Qingyun should be resting there."

Upon hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Li Muxia realized that her reaction had been somewhat excessive.

Looking back now, she herself doesn't understand whether she was worried about Qingyun getting wet in the rain or simply didn't want to be alone with Feng Yuhan.

Seeing that Li Muxia's expression had softened somewhat, Feng Yuhan said, "Get some rest. We still have a long journey ahead tomorrow."

This cave must have been the home of a large animal. The haystack is quite big. Seeing Li Muxia sitting on the edge of the haystack, Feng Yuhan also chose a spot on the edge that was far away from Li Muxia and lay down with his back to her.

Seeing that Feng Yuhan had already lain down, Li Muxia also lay down with her back to him.

However, she had slept all afternoon and now she really couldn't fall asleep. She took out the jade pendant hanging around her neck and carefully stroked it: Ziheng, do you and Feng Yuhan have any relationship? Why do I always see your shadow in him?

Feng Yuhan was not asleep either. He listened to Li Muxia's breathing and, when it became steady, he turned around and held the sleeping Li Muxia in his arms.

When dawn broke, Li Muxia opened her eyes and saw Feng Yuhan's magnified handsome face. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe or move, for fear of waking Feng Yuhan.

Judging from the current situation, Li Muxia was completely hugging Feng Yuhan, with her legs draped over him.

Li Muxia felt like she wanted to die. Before Feng Yuhan woke up, Li Muxia carefully pulled her leg back, then slowly rolled away from Feng Yuhan to the edge of the haystack before standing up.

Seeing that Feng Yuhan was still fast asleep, Li Muxia lifted her skirt, tiptoed, and quickly slipped out of the cave.

Feng Yuhan, who should have been fast asleep, was now watching Li Muxia flee in panic with a smile on his face. His clear eyes did not look like he had just woken up; he had clearly been awake for a long time.

As Li Muxia emerged from the cave, she encountered Qingyun, who was returning from hunting. Seeing the fish and wild fruit Qingyun was carrying, Li Muxia quickly went to help.

Qingyun would naturally not dare to let Li Muxia take action. What a joke! Li Muxia is very likely to be the future mistress of the Pavilion Master.

Dodging Li Muxia's outstretched hand, Qingyun respectfully said, "Miss is awake. There is a small river ahead. Miss can go there to wash up briefly."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia was secretly delighted. She really wanted to wash her face and rinse her mouth properly. Back in her modern life, Li Muxia had always been very conscious of personal hygiene, and she was quite unaccustomed to not washing her face and brushing her teeth all day. However, she was forced by circumstances, and now that she had the chance, of course she wanted to wash herself properly.
