With the passage of time, Yuan Junxian's injuries slowly improved.

"Jun Xian, the medicine has changed." Xu Yan walked over with the medicine and began to gently change the medicine for Yuan Junxian.

Looking at the gentle woman in front of him, Yuan Junxian not only remembered her gentle care for herself during this period of time, she was so busy every day that her feet did not touch the ground, not only to take care of the two children, but also to take care of her injured self, help herself change her dressing, feed her, and even scrub her body every day.

As a dead soldier who has followed the prince since he was a child, he grew up in the bloody wind since he was a child, in addition to loyalty, he has long been left with indifferent training, when has he been treated so gently.

Unconsciously, Yuan Junxian's frozen heart, which didn't know what love was, was quietly dissolved by Xu Yan's tenderness.

"What's wrong with you, what are you thinking?" Xu Yan, who helped Yuan Junxian change the medicine, saw that he was staring at himself stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Yuan Junxian's eyes, and found that he still didn't reflect, so he asked curiously.

"No, nothing!" Yuan Jun, who came back to his senses, envied his face, and saw Xu Yan staring at him curiously, his face turned red, and he quickly denied it.

"Daddy, why are you so red, are you sick?" Yuan Yun, who noticed this scene not far away, saw Yuan Junxian who was blushing, and she asked directly.

Hearing his daughter's question, Yuan Junxian, who had just come back to his senses and was embarrassed, was even more eager to have a crack in the ground to let him get in.

"It's okay, Daddy is fine." After speaking, Yuan Junxian's face turned even redder.

Looking at Yuan Junxian, who was blushing like a ripe crayfish, Xu Yan and Yuan Yun burst into a burst of silver-like laughter.

Listening to the cheerful laughter in his ears, Yuan Junxian's thoughts couldn't help but fly away.

Slowly, I thought of Xu Yan's kindness to me during this time, and a happy smile appeared on my face.

Although Yuan Junxian has begun to like Xu Yan because of Xu Yan's perseverance and gentle care during this time, Xu Yan himself does not think so.

In Xu Yan's heart, this incident was originally caused by himself, and it was his arrival that broke the originally peaceful life of Yuan Junxian's family.

He was originally rescued by Yuan Junxian and signed his life, but now because of his naughtiness and willfulness, Yuan Junxian will be imprisoned, and he will be covered with scars.

Looking at his wounds, which are gradually healing, is like looking at his own heart, which has long been tormented by guilt.

Now I finally escaped from the cell, but I can't go back to my home, so I can only survive in this grotto.

Xu Yan looked around at the harsh environment of the grotto, looking at Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun who were in a mess not far away, and his heart was full of guilt and uneasiness.

Therefore, Xu Yan can only make his heart feel better through more actions, by treating him gently with his family, treating his two children, and reducing his guilt through constant busyness.

As for Yuan Junxian's eyes that looked at him more and more gentle, Xu Yan, who was full of guilt, didn't notice it at all, and only thought about how to help him get better faster, and how to take better care of the two children.

The days passed slowly, and Yuan Junxian's body gradually improved under Xu Yan's care, but the good times did not last long.

Originally, Xu Yan had made preparations for hiding in the grotto, and brought some things that could be used, but it happened suddenly, and there was not much time left for him to prepare.

Life in the grotto was already hard, and these days, as the things prepared gradually ran out, the life of Xu Yan's family of four became even more miserable.

"Xiaoxiu, Xiaoyun, take good care of your father, I'll go out to find something to eat."

There are very few cosmetics left with Xu Yan, and she doesn't dare to go in and out of the town, for fear of arousing suspicion.

Now, the family has begun to run out of food, and in desperation, Xu Yan has no choice but to look for some wild vegetables and fruits around the grotto.

It's just that Xu Yan, who doesn't have much experience in the wild, can't find much to eat, although he has tried to save as much as possible, the family is also living a life of hunger and a full meal.

After eating the wild vegetable porridge made with great difficulty at night, Xu Yan lay on the bed and coaxed the child to sleep.

Looking at Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun's little faces that gradually lost their previous ruddy luster due to the hardships of life, Xu Yan's heart was full of guilt.

"Brother Yuan, there is no food at home, it just so happens that tomorrow is the day when there is a market in the town, and I will go buy some food tomorrow and come back."

"Haven't you run out of makeup? How to go tomorrow, or I'll go! Yuan Junxian was worried that she would be recognized when she went out without makeup.

"It's okay, your injury is not healed yet, I still have some makeup powder left, and there are more people in the market tomorrow, and it is not easy to attract attention, just right, I will buy some cosmetics tomorrow and come back, otherwise I won't be able to go out."

Xu Yan was not worried about Yuan Junxian, who was not well from his injury, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"I'd better go, it's even more troublesome for you to be recognized."

"Okay, be careful and go to bed early." Seeing Xu Yan's insistence, Yuan Junxian had no choice but to give up.

Xu Yan leaned over and kissed Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun, hugged them and comforted: "Xiao Xiu, Xiao Yun, if you have anything to eat, my mother will buy it for you tomorrow." ”

"As long as it's made by my mother, I like it." Yuan Yun replied very obediently, and Yuan Xiu nodded his little head next to him, agreeing with Yuan Yun's point of view.

It's just that the eyes of the two children are full of unbearable longing.

Looking at the well-behaved child, Xu Yan's heart was like a knife, and tears couldn't help but flow.

All of this is because of her, and she caused the trouble, but the consequences are borne by their family.

Let the two innocent and lovely children, because of their own fault, have to hide in this dark and damp grotto to survive.

Looking at the children who gradually lost their former liveliness and agility, Xu Yan was even more remorseful in his heart.

"Why are you crying?" Yuan Junxian saw her suddenly crying, and hurriedly reached out to hug her and gently helped her wipe away the tears on her face.

"I'm fine." Xu Yan, who didn't dare to confide what he was thinking, immediately reacted, looking at everyone looking at him with concern, and then looking at Yuan Junxian's warm chest and gentle gaze, a trace of red rhyme climbed up his face.

"Mother, you're blushing! Hee-hee~~" Yuan Yun coaxed beside him.

"Go ahead, hurry up and go to bed." The embarrassed and angry Xu Yan hurriedly broke away from Yuan Junxian's embrace, and made a straight face to reprimand Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun.

"Shame~~" Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun made funny faces while obediently lying down to sleep.

Xu Yan was interrupted from what he was thinking, and at this time he calmed down and coaxed the two children to sleep with peace of mind.

On the second day, Xu Yan went out early with makeup and went to the market to buy some daily necessities.

Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun, who were waiting at home, were hiding in the corner together at this time, discussing some secrets.

"You can follow me with your good things in a while, and you will be right to listen to me."

"Can you really catch something to eat? I'll be sure to listen to you. ”

It turned out that Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun also saw the recent situation in their son's family.

Compared with Yuan Xiu, who has been growing up under the protection of Yuan Junxian, Yuan Yun is more knowledgeable.

Yuan Yun, who has lived in dire straits since he was a child, follows the acrobatic team all over the world, and naturally knows some ways to survive in the wild and find food.

Taking advantage of the time when Xu Yan went out, Yuan Yun planned to take Yuan Xiu to hunt some animals and surprise Xu Yan.

Looking at the confident Yuan Yun, Yuan Xiu, who had no experience in this area at all, could only follow behind Yuan Yun nervously, with a pair of eyes full of hope.

Yuan Yun took Yuan Xiu with him, and based on his previous experience, he dug out some simple traps in the mountain.

In order to ensure the lethality of the trap, Yuan Yun also made some sharp branches and stones and placed them at the bottom of the trap, and then carefully marked them.

After the trap was arranged, the brother and sister hid quietly in the corner, quietly waiting for the harvest time.

"Xiaoyun, your trap is fine, why haven't you reacted until now?" The inexperienced Yuan Xiu was not very patient, and kept looking in the direction of the trap.

"Don't worry, it must be fine, you have a little patience, not so fast." Yuan Yun, who has experience in hunting, is much more patient.

Looking at the trap in front of him, Yuan Xiu only felt that his days were like years, like a monkey that couldn't sit still, constantly looking around.

"Be quiet, it's easy to scare away your prey."

Looking at Yuan Xiu, who was not restless at all, Yuan Yun was also very helpless.

Yuan Xiu listened to his sister's words, held back the anxiety in his heart, and finally quieted down.

It may be that the two brothers and sisters are lucky, or it may be that there are more prey in the mountains.

Although the brother and sister only dug a few traps very easily, they were also lucky to catch a pheasant and a hare.

Looking at the pheasants and hares in the trap that were pierced by sharp branches, Yuan Xiu's face, who had never seen blood, turned white in an instant, and the excitement of hitting the prey flew away in an instant.

Yuan Yun looked at his brother who was pale and didn't dare to step forward, and then looked at the bloody trap, and couldn't help but get drunk, and came up with the pheasant and hare who were still struggling.

"You're so useless, you're scared, come and help!" Saying that, Yuan Yun picked up a stone and stoned the pheasant and the hare to death, and then gave the heavier hare to his brother, and walked to the water's edge with the pheasant.

"Aren't we going home? Where is this going? Finding that he was not on the way home, Yuan Xiu hurriedly asked Yuan Yun.

"Go to the water and wash the rabbits and pheasants, or how will you eat them when you go back?"

So saying, the two of them came to a small stream.

Looking at the pheasants and hares that were still twitching, Yuan Yun first pulled out the branches on the pheasants and hares, and then happily began the peeling and decomposition work.

It's just that because he is relatively young and his strength is not great, Yuan Yun is not very smooth in doing this work.

Because there was no hot water, Yuan Yun had to pull out the pheasant's hair one by one, and peel off the hare skin entirely, making the scene a blur of flesh and blood.
