Xiao Cheng Ya went outside carefully. While searching for herbs, she also managed to catch a hare and a pheasant using rocks and stones.
When Xiao Cheng Ya returned with the herbs and food, she noticed Bai Mo sleeping. Worried, she cleaned the herbs, grinded them into medicine using clean stones, and fed the medicine into Bai Mo’s mouth. Then, she looked for the crock that they secretly went out to buy and boiled some water. Only then she sat by his side and watched him lying there unconsciously.
Bai Mo had treated her well these days. She knew he was thinking about their relationship, but there was just something in her heart that made her subconsciously avoid this problem.
She could help Bai Mo and take care of him, but she would find various excuses to avoid the topic when he talked about the things between them.
Although she knew it was not good to do that, she still did it anyway.
She sighed. Then, she helped to clean up the two daggers that Bai Mo used, and lit a fire for making stew and roasting.
Bai Mo smelled a very fragrant smell when he woke up. He turned his head and saw Xiao Cheng Ya roasting meat above a sma fire.
He sat upright and his brows furrowed tightly: “How can I let you do all these?”
“I am not the almighty princess now, I’m just an ordinary person, why can’t I do this?” Before Bai Mo was injured or even when the two of them were traveling together, he would also not let her do anything, even if it was just helping out a little.
Bai Mo glared at Xiao Cheng Ya fiercely: “Whether you’re a princess or not, to me, I won’t allow you to do all these.”
Xiao Cheng Ya not sure whether to cry or laugh at Bai Mo’s words. She glanced at him: “You are injured now, and your body is still not in a good condition. If I don’t do all these, then what should we eat? We can’t just starve, right?”
She had been doing this kind of thing for a few days now, and she would be nagged by him every time. All these nagging were useless but this person still did not show any sign of giving up. Was this really the time now?
Bai Mo choked on Xiao Cheng Ya’s words. She was right. He could not do anything now. It seemed like except for waiting for food, he could not help at all.
Bai Mo touched his nose sorrowfully, and said embarrassedly: “You’re not allowed to do all these after I recover, okay?”
Xiao Cheng Ya sighed heavily and said helplessly: “Would you even let me do it, if I wanted to?”
She was sure that when he recovered, no, even before he was completely recovered, as long as he could move, he would definitely not let her.
Bai Mo also thought about it. It did seem to be the case but he was not bothered about it at the moment. He just continued to watch Xiao Cheng Ya: “Ya’er, let’s leave this place after I recover.”
In any case, he did not like this place because it was not very safe, and the environment was terrible.
“I don’t mind.” Xiao Cheng Ya felt very helpless with Bai Mo’s reaction.
They had been here for so long already, and this man was still thinking about this.
Bai Mo glared at Xiao Cheng Ya as if he knew what she was thinking: “No matter how long we stayed here, we still have to think ahead.”
Xiao Cheng Ya looked at Bai Mo’s persistent look. It was obvious that he had made it clear that this matter was not up for a discussion. It was final, and she should listen to him.
As such, Xiao Cheng Ya could only nod helplessly and compromise.
The days in the cave were actually not too boring. Whenever Bai Mo was not sleeping, he would be telling Xiao Cheng Ya about Ning Meng Yao. Although she had already listened to his stories several times, she was not with Ning Meng Yao in most of her life, so she really enjoyed listening to his stories over and over again.
And Bai Mo wanted Xiao Cheng Ya to be happy so he kept repeating his stories for her.
Without knowing, half a month had passed. Bai Mo’s injury had also become much better under Xiao Cheng Ya’s care. Bai Mo took Xiao Cheng Ya and they were ready to leave after he had recovered.
They had been away from the group for such a long time, and they did not know how the situation was outside now. Were those people still at Miaojiang, or had they destroyed the place?
