The young man's name was Yue Qin, and he was fifteen years old. The Battle of Qiujiang was the first war he participated in after joining the army. Unexpectedly, he was captured out of nowhere.

Nanyue is a small, remote and affiliated country in the southwest of Great Yan, advocating the art of witchcraft. However, due to the barren land, dense forests and swamps, and rampant poisonous insects, the people could only have enough food and clothing when the country was at its peak, but it was far from being prosperous. Even if Dayan incorporated such a place into its territory, it wouldn't be of much benefit, so it actually lived and worked in peace and contentment for many years. However, unexpectedly, their generation gave birth to a "beautiful" holy son who could not only conquer insects, snakes and fierce beasts, but also control the wind and rain. 

Emperor Yan tried to recruit him to the capital but was unable to do so. The emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses and bleeding for thousands of miles. Since then, South Vietnam has never had peace.

"He is the third prince of the Yan Kingdom." Mei Lin pointed at Murong Jinghe on Yue Qin's back. When she saw a long mark left behind them, she couldn't help but feel irritable.

"Ah, really?" Yue Qin did not show any surprise or hatred. He was panting and carrying the person on his back, gritting his teeth and advancing step by step, sweat dripping into his eyes.

Mei Lin couldn't stand it anymore and wished she could leave the two of them alone. She didn't understand why this child was so stubborn in trying to save the son of an enemy who had ruined his family. But she couldn't see the aggrieved look in his eyes, otherwise she would have discovered that his forward speed was not much better than Uguī's. Just slipped away.

"Okay, okay, put him down." She really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sister..." Just when the young man was about to show his puppy-like pleading eyes again, Mei Lin quickly stretched out her palm to block the exchange of eyes between the two.

"Stop being so nagging, hurry up, don't make me suffer with you." Her voice was a little stern, and she was a little impatient, and she had a strong tendency to leave if you don't follow your orders.

Hearing her words, Yue Qin had to swallow the words that rose up in his throat, and slowly placed Murong Jinghe on a dry, soft fallen leaf. They were in a forest of red pine trees. The red pine trees were tall and towering into the clouds. There were also tree species such as purple lindens and firs. Under the trees, old vines swayed, moss withered ferns, and pheasants lurked. Because the branches and leaves of the tree crown are connected and block out the sky and sun, the underside of the tree is not soaked by rain, but it is just slightly choking.

"You go find something to fill your stomach." Mei Lin said, and at the same time she stepped forward and began to carefully examine Murong Jinghe. No matter what kind of injury he suffered, he should have woken up after all this trouble. The strange thing was that he showed no signs of waking up at all.

Yue Qin was already dizzy with hunger. Seeing that she was not leaving Murong Jinghe behind, he immediately relaxed and started looking for food nearby. There are wild mushrooms and fungus in the forest, wild grapes and dates on the vines, and pine nuts falling on the ground. It is not difficult to have a full meal, and it tastes better than raw snake meat.

Except for some scratches, Murong Jinghe did not have any serious injuries on his body, but his face was frighteningly ugly. Meilin felt a strange feeling in her heart and pressed her finger on his pulse.

"You saved him, maybe one day he will destroy your home." She said to the boy who was picking mountain grapes.

Yue Qin carried the bunches of grapes he picked in his clothes. Although he was very hungry, he did not eat them while picking them. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and said with a smile: "Sister, if you leave him, he will die. Will definitely die."

It was totally wrong. Mei Lin turned her head and ignored him. However, she had to admit that the boy's words touched a certain chord in her heart, making her involuntarily face up to his attitude of attaching great importance to human life. Maybe she could disagree, but she definitely couldn't despise it.

Murong Jinghe's pulse was chaotic but not weak. It was unknown whether it was due to internal injury or some other reason. Mei Lin didn't understand medical science, so she could only confirm that there was something wrong with his body, but there was nothing else she could do. She retracted her hand, thought for a moment, stretched out her thumb and pinched the other person's middle for a long time, until she pinched the bloody mark and no one woke up.

"What a big trouble..." She muttered, gathered up his open shirt, then pulled out the dagger and stood up to cut the vine.

"Sister, eat grapes, eat grapes." Yue Qin ran over happily carrying a bag of black grapes. "These mountain grapes are delicious. When I was at home, I used to follow Mu Mu and the others into the mountains to pick them."

Meilin glanced at his pure black eyes that were not stained by the war. Without saying anything, she picked up a bunch of grapes and started to eat them. Seeing her eating, the young man seemed very happy. He sat down and started eating.

"Put him here, and those Great Yan people will naturally find him. If we take him with us, both of us will be implicated." After eating two bunches of grapes and suppressing the fishy smell that had been lingering in his mouth, Mei Lin no longer stopped. Eat and continue cutting the long vines.

"But maybe he died before they found him." Yue Qin said seriously while devouring grapes. He was telling the truth. Putting aside other dangers, the rainy late autumn mountain forest was as cold as winter. For an unconscious man to lie here like this, he was afraid that he would die of cold soon.

Knowing that what he said was true, Mei Lin curled her lips and said no more. A lot of flexible vines had been cut off the ground. She glanced around for a few times, then walked to a red pine tree that was as thick as an adult's arm and more than ten feet tall, squatted down and began to peel off its roots. Although she was not strong enough, fortunately the dagger was sharp and it didn't take long to chop down the tree.

"Sister, let me help you." Yue Qin didn't know what she was doing. After finishing the grapes in two or three times, he ran over and helped her pick the branches and leaves from the tree.

Mei Lin was injured, and this action was already too much for him, so she simply threw the dagger to him and asked him to do as she asked.

Probably because he used to do rough work, Yue Qin was flexible and could make a simple frame out of tree trunks and vines in no time. Mei Lin then asked him to cut off the extra trunk into four logs about three inches thick, peel off the skin, dig out round holes in the middle, and string them on the rattan under the shelf.

Before he finished, Yue Qin already knew Mei Lin's intention, and he was even more energetic at work. When Murong Jinghe was firmly tied to the shelf with a cane and stretched for a while, not only was he satisfied, but Mei Lin was also satisfied. The difference is that he is satisfied that this not only saves a lot of energy, but also speeds up the speed, while Mei Lin is satisfied that even if Murong Jinghe who are tied up like this wake up suddenly, it will not cause much harm to them. No matter what it is, the outcome is always happy.

She dug a hole and buried the waste materials from making the shelf, and covered it with larch needles. The excess soil was covered on the cut wood piles, and it was also covered with thick and soft fallen leaves to remove all traces of where it had been, the two of them set out on the road.

"Sister, come up too, I can pull you two." After walking for a while, Yue Qin called to Mei Lin who was lagging behind. His eyes were filled with the excitement of a child getting a novel toy.

Meilin waved her hand, signalling him to continue moving forward, while she carefully removed or covered up the traces of the two passing by. From time to time, she would walk for a while in another direction and then go back by following the same footsteps.

Because she was walking slowly, she picked some edible things along the way, and then carried them in Murong Jinghe's wet clothes. When she was almost done, she tied them tightly with her clothes belt and put them on the pergola for Yue Qin to drag away.

After walking like this for more than an hour, no one really caught up with them, so the two of them were more or less relieved.
