12. Below the Mountain (1)

Yu Qingjia managed to pack up the clothes with great difficulty. She quietly held her inner garments to find a hidden place to dry them. When it was finally arranged, she looked up and found that the tip of the vixen's ears had turned red.

Although she also felt embarrassed, the Vixen's reaction was a bit too exaggerated, right? They are both women and should be considerate of each other, but the vixen behaves as if she is assaulting her.

Under the influence of Murong Yan, Yu Qingjia also squirmed. She said in an inaudible voice, “It's fine now.”

Despite saying this, Murong Yan still didn't turn his face around. He thought that he might have lost too much blood and now his head was a little dizzy. Some things are easier to associate when you can't see them, and as soon as Murong Yan thought that Yu Qingjia was only wearing her middle coat, he felt that he couldn't stay in this cave any longer.

Yu Qingjia saw that Murong Yan still had an awkward expression and thought that he also had something to hide, so she said in a very generous manner, “Don't worry, I won't look. Your wound hasn't been bandaged yet, do you need me to…”

“No.”

Murong Yan refused coldly and mercilessly. Yu Qingjia's words were blocked, and she gently pursed her lips, “Okay. But your wound must be bandaged, your clothes are wet, if you don't treat your injury, what if you get a fever tomorrow? What should I do?”

If his injury worsens, at the very least, it will cause a problem if they travel again tomorrow. Murong Yan couldn't count on her. This place is sparsely populated after all. It is not the type of place to stay for a long time. He still had to find a way to return to the town and connect with Yu Wenjun and the others.

However, Murong Yan understands it, but now he really can't do it. He is a man, he wouldn't be embarrassed if he undressed, but no matter how ambiguous his appearance was, the skeletal form of a man is completely different from a woman. Especially since Yu Qingjia is still here…

Murong Yan slowly turned his face away from the wall, but he still refused to look at her. He only stared vainly at the ground, “You go out.”

Yu Qingjia froze for a moment, and then was incredulous, “What did you say?”

The sound of rain outside was rustling, and there were muffled sounds of thunder mixed in from time to time. It does not seem humane to drive out a young girl who hasn't yet matured to fend off with the wind and rain alone. Murong Yan could only bite the bullet and backed away, “Turn around, don't turn back.”

She glared at him with an annoyed expression and turned her back while muttering, “So much fuss, as if anyone wants to see you.”

Murong Yan looked at her back, he was sitting behind the fire. In any case the firelight would not cast his shadow. But Murong Yan still felt uneasy, he then said, “Cover your eyes with your hands, don't move.”

Yu Qingjia simply wanted to gnash her teeth, but she remembered that he is currently injured, and it was thanks to him that they were able to survive today. So she was forced to hold back the fire in her heart and covered her eyes. “I really can't see anything now, are you relieved this time?”

Murong Yan vigilantly stared at her for a while, seeing that she was indeed honestly covering her eyes, he used the dagger to cut off a still dry strip of cloth on his middle clothes, and quickly bandaged the wound on his shoulder. Although Murong Yan's fingers moved quickly, his eyes have been paying close attention to Yu Qingjia. He suddenly felt a little strange, why did he act like he had some kind of intention?

Although Murong Yan was thirteen years old at the time of the incident, he was still only fifteen years old now. However, he was born in the royal family, and the men of their family are not loyal and restrained, they're particularly open to female sex, so Murong Yan should understand what he should not understand, in fact, he understands it all. He can no longer think about it. He hastily tied his wound, and then quickly put on his sleeves.

Yu Qingjia with her eyes still covered, heard rustling sounds behind her. Just by imagination she could guess that Murong Yan handled his injury in a rough manner. She doesn't know why the vixen is so stubborn, preferring to endure the pain herself rather than ask her help. She waited a while longer and felt that there seemed to be no more movement behind her, so she asked tentatively, “Are you done?”

The collar of Murong Yan is high up, and the buttons turned up to the highest point, so it made his neck look even more slender and his face like jade. Murong Yan had naturally armed himself again, but after hearing her question, somehow, he felt very strange. Could it be that he still had to squirm and reply “I'm fine.” like a woman? He waited for a while, and when he saw that the foolish Yu Qingjia was still stupidly covering her eyes, he could no longer hold back and said in disgust, “Put your hands down.”

Yu Qingjia let go of her hand, her eyes were squinted because of the sudden bright light, and when she finally adjusted to it, she saw Murong Yan leaning against the stone wall with his eyes closed, as if he had already fallen asleep.

She did not bother to make fun of him. She opened the package that she collected earlier from the carriage. Since they've been running all the way, the package of clothes are also wet. She picked a clean spot to dry the clothes, then chose a very small corner to settle down. She hugged her knees, and quietly buried her face.

Today was more tiring than any other day in her life. Her body was exhausted, and she could not relax her mind for a long time. After sitting like this for an unknown period of time, the fire gradually dimmed and eventually went out.

The world was plunged back into darkness, and since it was impossible to see, the sound of rain outside was especially clear, and Yu Qingjia even faintly heard the howling of wild animals. The darkness in the cave suddenly thickened, as if there were many eyes lurking in it, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on her and tear her apart.

Yu Qingjia was cold and frightened, she gritted her teeth and endured it for a while, but she still did not dare to be alone. She was thinking that no one would find out if she was taken away by wild animals. So she quietly called, “Vixen, are you asleep?”
