The sunlight spilled in through the vines at the entrance of the cave, dotted with stars, warm, not far away, the bonfire that had been burning for most of the night had just been extinguished, and there were wisps of gray smoke, Nana's beautiful eyelashes moved, and then slowly opened her moving eyes.

Although, at this time, she had already used the herbs brought by Ash to reduce the fever and inflammation, and the wound had finally been well treated, but the whole body still inevitably felt a wave of weakness.

She couldn't remember most of what had happened before, and it seemed as if her memory was only before she washed the wound from a puddle.

So when she opened her eyes and found her environment for the first time, she was secretly startled, thinking that she had been caught by the enemy, but before she could make a sound, she found Ash's face close at hand under the side of her head subconsciously.

Under the little sunlight, Ash's sleeping face looked very peaceful, with closed eyes, a high nose, resolute lips, and even the faint fluff on the boy's face were delicately presented in Nana's eyes, this was the first time she had observed this person so closely.

At this time, Nana finally found out that she was tightly held in her arms by this man, and one of the other party's big hands even wrapped around her slender waist like a pillow, and she was subconsciously angry, wanting to push him away and reprimand him again!

But before her hand could touch Ash's body, she hung in the air again.

Because she noticed that there was more blood on the corners of Ash's lips.

And his almost blood-stained shirt, the blood-stained sword on the ground not far away, the brand-new bandages on his abdomen, and the piles of residues left over from the treatment of herbs scattered around him.

All these signs are in Nana's eyes, and when she thinks back to her state at the moment, no matter how stupid she is, she understands what happened last night.

Immediately afterwards, Nana noticed that Ash's shirt was slightly lifted at this time, revealing part of the bruised skin, she tiptoed up the corner of the clothes, and found that Ash's entire abdomen was already injured, covered with large bruises, and even blood seeping under the skin, which looked like an erosive snake skin covering the skin, which was very terrifying.

I don't know what kind of fierce battle he experienced last night.

Turning her gaze to Ash's sleeping face again, Nana only felt a little stunned.

She really didn't expect that this guy, who usually looked a little annoying, would do this kind of thing for herself.

Perhaps, this person is really not bad...... At least for yourself, that's true.

Nana thought so, quietly staring at Ash's sleeping face, and for some reason, she suddenly realized that she actually liked to see this guy now.

Since she was a child, she has followed the clansmen on expeditions and hunting, but she often sees her eldest brother, elders, and the sleeping faces of the warriors in the clan, but those guys are all five big and three thick, and the sleeping appearance is even more flattering, like a group of hibernating gorillas.

At this time, Ash let her know for the first time that a man can give people such a quiet feeling when he is quiet.

The corners of Ash's mouth curled slightly, and she didn't know if she had dreamed of something beautiful, but Nana strangely felt as if she could experience the peace and joy of the other party's heart, and unconsciously, her mood seemed to start to become cheerful.

couldn't bear to push Ash away again, so as not to wake him up, Nana had to be very 'aggrieved' to nest in his arms temporarily, it may be that she has experienced too much danger in the past few days, at this time she enjoyed Ash's hug, felt his body temperature, and it was very rare to experience an unprecedented sense of security, although she knew very well in her heart that if it really fought, this man was not her enemy at all.

Thinking so, the corners of Nana's mouth inadvertently hooked up a smile, and she just looked at Ash's sleeping side face quietly, until sleepiness hit her mind again, making her lazily lean against Ash's chest and fall asleep again.

The two men in the cave enjoyed this incredible tranquility until it was close to noon, when they were awakened by the chirping of a bird that happened to fly outside the cave entrance.

"Are you awake?"

After waking up, the two looked at each other, obviously a little embarrassed because of the posture of the two parties at this time, but Ash was real, Nana was pretending, looking at Ash's slightly reddened handsome face, Nana secretly smug in her heart, and only then took the lead in leaving the other party's arms and breaking the silence.

Afraid that this wild girl would be angry with her, Ash was a little weak-hearted.

I saw that he also moved his body away a little more imperceptibly, and then touched his nose, stumbled twice and asked, "Ah, well...... How are you feeling? Is it a little better? ”

"Much better."

Noticing his small movements, Nana bent the corners of her mouth towards the medicine residue and the long sword on the ground on the side, and asked, "You went out last night?" ”

Ash nodded, "Well, yesterday you were badly burned and your wounds were rotten, so I went to find some herbs." ”

"Where did the stomach injury come from? And what blood? ”

"Enemy's."

Ash picked up the water bladder on the side and poured it, last night's injury and the bitter smell of the hemostatic grass that exploded made his mouth very uncomfortable: "But don't worry, it's a lonely one, it's just a chance encounter, the body has been hidden, and it shouldn't be discovered." ”

Although Ash said it easily, Nana could see from the traces on his body that the whole process was obviously not so simple, but it was inconvenient for her to pierce it at this time, and there was a faint hint of emotion in her eyes, and then she turned into a trace of narrowness, and smiled: "Oh...... Do my boobs look good? ”

"Poof!"

Nana's thoughtless words came out, and Ash immediately squirted out the water in her mouth, and then coughed while saying in shock and anger: "Ahem...... What's that? I swear, I'm just saving people...... But no...... cough cough cough ......"

Ash panicked to explain, but the more anxious he was, the more the water in his throat made him cough worse, and even affected the injury in his abdomen, causing him to hold his stomach in pain while waving his hand to Nana again and again, trying to prove his innocence, and finally 'poof' a mouthful, spitting out the blood left in his mouth last night.

This scared Nana, and she jumped up from the spot all of a sudden, trying to help Ash, but the injuries on her body were not lighter than Ash's, and under the sudden action, it also affected the wound that had just been knifed by Ash last night and had not healed, so painful that she snorted, and then curled up in place holding her stomach, accompanied by Ash's painful cough, she chirped, and the scene in the cave suddenly became much more funny.

It wasn't until a long time later that Nana gasped for breath and said in pain, "I...... I just want to tease you......"

On the other side, Ash didn't even have the strength to speak, so she could only glare at Nana with some resentment, and while holding her stomach, she nodded helplessly in understanding......

Just as Ash and Nana were clutching their stomachs and howling in pain, the pursuers in the canyon also launched their final manhunt.

It has been almost three days since the other party was blocked in the canyon, and in the hearts of these soldiers, even if the opponent's strength is strong, there should be no ability to resist at this time, plus the news sent by the messenger said that it was the Lord Qatar who ordered them to catch people as soon as possible and return to the team, so they organized all the manpower early in the morning, fully dispersed, and began the final search and arrest operation.

"Give me a bright spot! Don't let go of a single grass or tree! Remember, the other party has little ability to resist, and if you want a reward, just catch me alive! ”

Mu Lin, the leader of the Guards Corps, raised the long sword in his hand high and commanded loudly to his soldiers, and after everyone received the order, they all rushed into the jungle together, and just as Mu Lin was about to take a team of men and horses to search, a soldier suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear:

"My lord, I still haven't found the shadow of Mu Qiao, the people who were on the same team with him last night all said that they had just set off not long ago, and Mu Qiao left the team under the pretext of convenience, and his subordinates took people to look for that area all morning, and found nothing, you see ......"

Hearing this, Mu Lin frowned.

The soldier said that Mu Qiao is his own brother of Mu Lin, who has always had the problem of being lazy and lazy, as long as he is working, there are not a few times he is not lazy, and he naturally knows this as an elder brother.

But if you love to be lazy, you love to be lazy, Mu Lin doesn't think that with his younger brother's great character, he will give up the opportunity to participate in this final search because of laziness, that is the temptation of five hundred gold coins and two levels of official promotion!

It's been more than ten hours since it started last night, could it be that he really ...... Did you really encounter something wrong?

Thinking so, Mu Lin's palm holding the hilt of the sword tightened, and he was about to turn his head to give something to the soldier, but suddenly there was a strange sound in his ears.

The sound came from the direction of the valley mouth, because the distance was too far, so it was impossible to tell what the sound was, it seemed to be the howl of a wild beast, and it seemed to be the cry of a war horse, but it was only because the whole canyon was too quiet, so that this strange sound could be noticed by the wood.

But even so, the strange sound was still extremely difficult to discern, but the hunter-born wood, but he believed in his ear power very much, so he only waited for a moment to be stunned, and then stopped the movements of the subordinates around him who had not yet had time to leave.

"Wait! Wait! ”

"Your Excellency...... What's wrong?"

Hearing Mu Lin's order, the soldiers all looked very puzzled, one of the soldiers touched his head, and asked with some doubts, but saw that Mu Lin's face was extremely serious, and even a little anxious!

"Shut up! It's all quiet! “

Without immediately answering the soldier's words, Mu Lin first scolded the other party, and then pricked up his ears intently, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

He had instructed the soldiers stationed at the mouth of the valley not to make too much noise unless they found traces of the other two, so as not to be discovered by the Vertes Empire passing outside the valley.

If the sound just now was just an attack by an ordinary beast, then with the hundred people in Taniguchi, the threat could definitely be solved in a very short time, but if the sound continued to come, it was unlikely that it would be just a beast.

Mu Lin very much hoped that the voice would not come again, but it was always a good wish.

A few seconds later, more sounds fell far into Mu Lin's ears, although after the reflection and distortion of the surrounding mountain walls, he still couldn't accurately distinguish the source of the sound, but he was sure that there was definitely something wrong with Taniguchi!

This time, Mu Lin's heart was directly half cold!

"Gather all the soldiers back and go back to the valley! Fast! ”
