Chapter 008 Magical Stone Maze Part 2

"We...can't get out?" She asked hesitantly.

Murong Jinghe came back from reminiscing about the past and said lightly: "Maybe."

After hearing what he said, Mei Lin's heart miraculously stabilized. It's not that she looks away, it's just that the two of them have always been at odds with each other, and she can't help but understand his words from the opposite side. If he had vowed that they would definitely be able to get out, she might be afraid instead.

"That's fine, let's just be a short-lived couple here." She said with a smile, moving his head to the higher end of the rough, and preparing to lie down and rest.

Murong Jinghe were stunned at first, and then got angry, "Who wants to be husband and wife with you!"

Seeing that he had regained some of his previous demeanour, Mei Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but showed a surprised expression on her face: "Isn't it because you admire this girl that you would shamelessly hold on to her? Otherwise? Why don't you pester that little guy, Yue Qin?"

Murong Jinghe snorted, seeing that she was deliberately provoking his anger, and simply closed his eyes and didn't bother to pay any more attention.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that although Yue Qin was kind-hearted, uninjured, and very strong, and looked like the best choice to help him escape, in fact, his ability to adapt and survive in the wild was far inferior compares to Mei Lin. In addition, one is a prisoner of war, and the other is a woman who nominally belongs to him with whom he has been together for a while. If someone catches up, it will naturally be more difficult for others to find flaws if he is with the latter. If he were with the former, he would not only be unable to escape if things went wrong, but he would also be charged with treason and collaboration with the enemy.

Mei Lin felt that the two of them had really switched roles. In the past, he was the provocateur and she rarely paid attention to him, but now it's completely the other way around. Thinking of this, she felt that she was really bored, shook her head, and suddenly lost interest in speaking.

The surroundings became quiet again, with only one or two clanging sounds occasionally coming from the wind. Murong Jinghe felt a pair of hands hugging him from behind, just like last night, it took away a lot of the chill from him. He was not used to such a posture, and had never even allowed others to do it, but at this moment he could only open his eyes and look at the bare hands clasped on his chest.

Those hands were already covered with large and small wounds, and one of them was still wrapped in a cloth band. Except for the original elegance that could still be seen from the appearance, it could almost be described as horrific. But it was just such a pair of hands that took him over the mountains and ridges, and arrived here almost intact.

Although when he chose her, he had believed that she could do it because of a night and a long day of secret observation, but when she actually did it, he couldn't help but be surprised by the strength and power contained in her bones.

He couldn't help but think of the day when Muye Luomei said that she wanted to know how a person who didn't know martial arts could survive in a crisis-ridden situation, and wanted to use this to conduct targeted training for soldiers. Maybe she should really escape with the woman behind him instead of chasing her, so that he would know how much potential a person can unleash in the face of death.

Thinking of Muye's falling plum blossoms and her angry departure that day, he inevitably felt unspeakable fatigue and disappointment in his heart. If one day he was pushed to the guillotine by his father or brother, she would definitely retaliate with death, but facing a paralyzed cripple, he had no confidence that she could endure it. Based on his understanding of her, probably she would rather he die than live in such a miserable state.

…

The embarrassment of that day came to mind again, making his face feel hot. The soft body and deep breathing of the woman behind him suddenly became obvious, and he couldn't help but slowly tighten his hands.

At this moment, a rat-like snorting sound suddenly sounded, which was extremely obvious amidst the ghostly howling wind.

Murong Jinghe felt stunned, and his chaotic thoughts instantly disappeared. When the sound got closer and closer, he quickly closed his eyes, leaving only a faint breath.

Rubbles rolled down on the ground in front of them. After waiting for a moment, a hunched figure appeared dodgingly in the green light.

Mei Lin felt very distressed. She couldn't understand why she had just slept and woke up with nothing but an empty bamboo cart.

"Do you think it was a human or a ghost?" she asked Murong Jinghe, and the content of her question had a tendency to lead to mental disorder.

Murong Jinghe shook his head and said nothing.

"Aren't you always very alert?" Mei Lin couldn't help but said. It's not that she doesn't believe him, she just feels weird.

Murong Jinghe looked at her with no emotion in his eyes, but there was a storm in his heart.

She knows! She actually knew that he had trouble falling asleep. In order to hide this, he would even deliberately let the women who accompanied him stay overnight, but no one would ever notice it. Even though they were inseparable these days, he tried his best to act like a normal person. How did she know?

Mei Lin didn't expect to get any more answers from him, so she said with some helplessness: "If this continues, I'm afraid we will really have to stay here." Although she said this, she began to clean up the rough skin that was still hot under her body. Then she put Murong Jinghe on the bamboo cart.

"You feel comfortable now." She smiled bitterly and fixed his upper body with cloth to prevent it from slipping to the ground during dragging.

She was right, because there was a thick layer of rough ground underneath him. Although the cart was relatively short and his legs had to drag on the ground, compared to being limped by her, he had to slide down from time to time. After a few slides, it really felt a lot more comfortable.

Murong Jinghe observed her expression carefully and found that except for the initial shock, she had returned to her usual calmness. He couldn't help but admire her strong psychological endurance.

"My ears hurt. Please tell me what's wrong." He suddenly said.

Mei Lin was startled and felt a little strange, but she still asked: "Which one?"

"On the right."

Because the light was not good, Mei Lin reached out to touch his right ear, but had to bend down and get closer to take a look. When she was still some distance away from his face, she could see clearly that his right ear was intact. She was about to speak when she suddenly noticed that his lips were moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something. She suddenly felt enlightened and lowered her voice a little. She almost put her ear to his lips. Looking from the side, it looked like she was carefully checking his ears.

"Someone is following us." Murong Jinghe said in a voice like a gnat. If Mei Lin hadn't been so close, the sound would have been completely obscured by the wind. "I only saw one man. He had a sabre in his hand, and a bow and arrows."

Mei Lin wanted to ask if he had stolen their things, her lips moved but before she could make a sound, she was stopped by Murong Jinghe with a wink.
