Even if Xiao Linmu followed him up the mountain, Xia Yi would not dare to casually order him around.

When he went up the mountain, he only carried a basket on his back.

Xia Yi walked in front, and Xiao Linmu followed closely behind.

Not long after she climbed the mountain, Xia Yi discovered a small patch of bamboo shoots.

She did not care about Xiao Linmu following her, but directly ran over happily, crouched down, and started to carefully dig up bamboo shoots with her little tools.

Xiao Linmu did not make his move, he only stood to the side and watched.

Not long later, Xia Yi's basket was full.

Because he had reaped a lot of rewards, Xia Yi's eyes were full of smiles. She raised her head and said to Xiao Linmu: "Let's go to your hut for a while, and go down the mountain when the time is almost up."

In order to maintain the current situation on the mountain, Xia Yi was even more careful than Xiao Linmu.

"Yes." Xiao Linmu nodded his head, agreeing with Xia Yi's suggestion.

Xia Yi stood up and picked up the bamboo basket.

But unexpectedly, the bamboo basket that was filled with little bamboo shoots was especially heavy, causing Xia Yi to stumble.

Fortunately Xiao Linmu had held her back in time so he wouldn't fall down.

"Thank you." Xia Yi stood up straight and was about to pick up the bamboo basket again, but she realized that his hands were empty and the bamboo basket was already in Xiao Linmu's hands.

Just as Xia Yi was about to thank him again, she heard Xiao Linmu say coldly: "Don't be so greedy if you can't lift it."

"Oh …" Xia Yi replied dryly.

Xiao Linmu walked in front carrying the bamboo basket that was several kilograms in weight. Xia Yi had been following closely behind him the entire time.

Xia Yi realized that Xiao Linmu walked on a different path from her.

However, on the mountain, Xia Yi did not care about the methods of walking to a certain place.

While walking, Xia Yi felt that the forest was getting denser and denser.

He then asked, "Did you take the wrong path?"

Xia Yi had a nagging feeling that there was no other way forward.

Xiao Linmu only said: "Don't talk, follow me carefully."

Xia Yi immediately shuddered.

After passing through the dense forest, he suddenly saw a towering cliff face. A hot spring lake.

This familiar scene made Xia Yi have to think about the day she escaped up the mountain, it was here that she met Xiao Linmu.

Her thoughts went back to that morning, and Xia Yi clearly remembered that Xiao Linmu's skin was snow-white, the quality of his skin enviable.

Xia Yi could not help but steal a glance at Xiao Linmu's face.

With such a face, it was no wonder that even a young miss from a noble family like Chu Sike would respect him.

As if he had felt Xia Yi's gaze, Xiao Linmu suddenly turned around and her gaze met Xia Yi's gaze.

Xia Yi naturally knew that her direct gaze was not good, and immediately shifted her gaze away. She awkwardly coughed: "The two of us met here for the first time, right?"

She actually didn't intend to recall her past with Xiao Linmu, she just purely wanted to dissolve her own awkwardness.

He thought that Xiao Linmu would not have any response, but unexpectedly, Xiao Linmu actually replied him: "En, peek at me while I shower."

"…"

This time, the atmosphere became even more awkward, and two tinge of red light also flew onto Xia Yi's face.

"You … You... "At that time, you almost strangled me to death, we are now even."

"Besides, I didn't see anything." Xia Yi added in a low voice.

Xiao Linmu suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Xia Yi behind him.

Xia Yi barely stopped her steps before she was able to crash into Xiao Linmu's chest.

"Is that so?" The two were extremely close, so Xiao Linmu could see Xia Yi's eyelashes tremble.

Xia Yi naturally did not dare to look straight into Xiao Linmu's eyes, and only stared at Xiao Linmu's chest.

She suddenly felt Xiao Linmu leaning over, and her voice sounded beside her ear. "What? Do you still want to see it clearly? "

It was still a little cold in the early spring, but Xia Yi could clearly feel the hot air that was pouncing into her ears.

She stiffened her body and did not dare to move at all. She was afraid that if she moved too much, she would accidentally move very close to Xiao Linmu.

"I don't dare." Xia Yi hurriedly replied.

Just as Xia Yi finished answering, she suddenly felt that the oppressive feeling above her head had disappeared.

She slowly let out a breath of relief, at this time, Xiao Linmu had already walked very far ahead with his long legs.

Xia Yi guessed that her answer was satisfactory to Xiao Linmu, so she quickly followed.

Xia Yi's guess was correct, it was only because Xia Yi did not dare to answer, and not because she did not want to …

If Xia Yi knew this was true, she would definitely spurt out a mouthful of blood.

The hut on the hill had been empty for two months, and everything was covered with a layer of dust.

Xia Yi thought that they would only stay on the mountain for a few hours, and only clean a few stools and tables.

She looked around and asked about the doubts in her heart, "Uncle Leng isn't living on the mountain?"

Xia Yi had never asked Xiao Linmu or Leng Qianjue any questions, she had always thought that Leng Qianjue was still living on the mountain.

However, looking at this small house, it didn't seem like someone had lived here before.

"He's staying at the Lingshan Town." Xiao Linmu said, and did not mention anything about Leng Qianjue immediately placing a house on the Lingshan Town.

"Won't there be any danger?" Thinking about the many soldiers that appeared on the mountain that day, Xia Yi asked.

In fact, ever since the Second Prince's Prince Jin was grounded, Xiao Linmu had secretly removed most of his wings. The information that the Prince Jin was able to receive from the outside world was all information that Xiao Linmu wanted him to receive.

Therefore, ever since the incident where the soldiers searched the mountain, Xiao Linmu no longer faced any danger.

The so-called danger was only an excuse he found to stay at Xia Yi's home.

"I am the spearhead of those soldiers, it has nothing to do with him." Xiao Linmu replied.

After a few seconds of silence, Xia Yi asked: "You … It can't be that you were chased down by the soldiers because you killed people, right? "

Xiao Linmu glanced at Xia Yi, and said coldly: "Do I look like one?"

Xia Yi really wanted to answer yes in her heart, but due to Xiao Linmu's gaze, she could only shake her head: "I don't look like it."

Xia Yi had never been alone in the same space with Xiao Linmu before, so she always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

After a long period of silence, Xia Yi felt like she needed to go to the kitchen and take a look. Facing the pots and pans, facing the stove, it was even more comfortable than facing Xiao Linmu.

The kitchen was still the same as before. No one had entered since she had not ascended the mountain.

There were still some dishes she had brought up the mountain with her.

Only after two months had passed, the potatoes had already sprouted long green shoots, and most of the other dishes were no longer edible.

Fortunately, the rice noodle soup could be stored for a long time, so she managed to dig up some fresh bamboo shoots from the mountain.

Xia Yi quickly got busy in the kitchen.

The moment the food left the wok, Xia Yi felt like the entire kitchen had suddenly turned dark.

According to Xia Yi's estimations, it should not be night now, and the sky had suddenly darkened.

Xia Yi thought that it was not good, and saw that it was about to rain.

I'm afraid they won't be able to go down the mountain.
