Although Xiao Juan’s fever had subsided, his injuries had yet to recover.
Yu Niaoniao planned to stay in the Mountain God Temple for two more days. At the very least, she would wait for Xiao Juan’s wound to scatter before setting off again.
Her intention was for Xiao Juan’s own good.
But for some reason, as long as the two of them were together, the scene would gradually become discordant.
They were like two skin-hungry patients who could not help but touch each other; it was as if this was the only way to comfort each other.
They spent three shameless days like this.
Xiao Juan’s wound finally began to scab.
Yu Niaoniao could not wait to pack up and continue on her way.
Before leaving, Xiao Juan could not help but turn around and look at the Mountain God Temple. He actually felt a little reluctant.
Although the past few days had been bitter, it was enough for him to remember happy memories for the rest of his life.
The two of them could not take the official road and could only take the winding and rugged mountain road.
There were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains.
Occasionally, they could even encounter ferocious beasts. Fortunately, Xiao Juan’s Qinggong was impressive. He shuttled through the forest with Niaoniao and quickly escaped the pursuit of the ferocious beasts.
They traveled through the mountains for four days before finally seeing people again.
Ahead was a small town.
Logically speaking, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan should not go to such a crowded place again.
However, they were almost out of dry food in their bags. They had to replenish it.
The two of them sneaked into the town and realized that although this town was small, there were many people. There were often soldiers patrolling the streets, and there was even Xiao Juan’s wanted order stuck on the noticeboard.
However, because Xiao Juan was too down and out now, he was almost a different person from the portrait.
Even when he brushed past the soldiers, no one recognized him. Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan sat down at the teahouse by the roadside.
“Two bowls of Yang Chun noodles with an egg each.”
“Alright!”
The boss was busy at the stove. The diners at the other tables were focused on their food.
Yu Niaoniao looked at Xiao Juan, who was sitting opposite the table, and suddenly had a naughty intention. She quietly stretched out her foot and reached under the table to rub against his calf.
Xiao Juan sensed her small actions and cheap trick. He wanted to wrap his legs around her restless little foot.
Yu Niaoniao quickly retracted her foot, causing him to miss.
She propped her chin on one hand and deliberately gave him a provocative smile.
Xiao Juan really wanted to kiss the corners of her mouth.
However, there were people everywhere now. They could not be too intimate in public.
He could only sit still, as he missed his days in the Mountain Temple.
At that time, they could be intimate with each other without restraint.
And now he could only watch her silently. He could do nothing.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but raise her butt and move to the stool beside him.
She grabbed Xiao Juan’s hand under the table and placed it in her lap. Then she scratched his palm with her fingers.
Xiao Juan immediately held her hand and rubbed the back of it with his fingers. His movements were secret and intimate, filled with an indescribable love.
Yu Niaoniao patted the back of his hand with her other hand, indicating that he should let go.
Xiao Juan obediently loosened his fingers.
Yu Niaoniao turned his palm over and threaded five fingers through his. Then she clasped them tightly.
Their fingers intertwined, as their palms touched.
Xiao Juan could not help but call out.
“Niaoniao. ”
His voice was low and a little hoarse, making Niaoniao’s ears itch.
She felt sweet and helpless. Oh my, what a clingy big fellow.
At this moment, the boss brought two large bowls of hot Yang Chun noodles to the table.
“Please enjoy.”
Yu Niaoniao’s attention was immediately attracted by the fragrant noodles.
She quickly withdrew her hand and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Xiao Juan looked down at his empty palm and felt his heart empty.
Then, he looked at Yu Niaoniao. Seeing that she was focused on the noodles, he could not help but feel a little helpless.
Yu Niaoniao picked up the sunny-side up egg in her bowl with her chopsticks.
The eggs were fried until both sides were golden. When she took a bite, they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They were very fragrant!
Yu Niaoniao could not help but sigh. “This sunny-side up is really delicious!”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sunny-side up in her bowl. She looked up and realized that Xiao Juan had given her the sunny-side up in his bowl.
Xiao Juan said, “Eat it. If there’s not enough, add more.”
Yu Niaoniao did not stand on ceremony with him and ate the sunny-side up in two or three bites.
After a bowl of Yang Chun noodles each, the two of them felt warm.
Xiao Juan took out the water bag he carried with him and filled it with water. After paying the bill, he brought Yu Niaoniao to the bun shop to buy a bag full of steamed buns.
The two of them planned to leave the town, but not long after, they saw a large group of soldiers appear in front of them.
The soldiers were chasing a man.
The two sides raced down the street, one after the other. The stalls on the street were knocked askew, and complaints and shouts filled the air.
Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan could not even protect themselves, so they naturally did not want to cause trouble.
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, they caught a glimpse of the man from the corner of their eyes and stopped in unison.
That person was actually Meng Xizhou, whom she had not seen for a long time!
What was he doing here?
No matter the reason, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan could not sit back and do nothing.
Yu Niaoniao looked around and quickly locked her gaze on the flagpole not far away.
She tugged at Xiao Juan’s sleeve and pointed at the flagpole.
Xiao Juan immediately understood.
Meng Xizhou ran like the wind. Even so, he could not shake off the pursuers behind him.
If this continued, he would definitely be caught.
At this moment, a flagpole standing beside him suddenly broke and fell straight toward Meng Xizhou!
Meng Xizhou sped up and rushed over.
The flagpole fell close to his back. The soldiers in hot pursuit stopped in fear.
The distance between the two widened.
Meng Xiuzhou was about to run forward when a hand from the crowd suddenly grabbed his arm accurately and pulled him away.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the crowd.
The soldiers naturally refused to give up. They immediately spread out and began to search the entire town.
The people who saved Meng Xizhou were naturally Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan. They were also the ones who broke the flagpole just now.
When Meng Xizhou saw the two of them, he was shocked and happy. He spoke incoherently.
“Your Highness, Princess Consort, that’s great! You’re still alive! I finally found you!”
Yu Niaoniao asked, “Why are you here?”
Meng Xizhou panted and said quickly.
“Little Lo asked me to look for you. He said that you would definitely come to Liaodong County. This is the only way to Liaodong County. I was waiting for you here. I didn’t expect the Imperial Court’s pursuers to arrive first.”
“From the looks of it, they should also know that you’re going to Liaodong County and set up an ambush here in advance.”
Xiao Juan was not surprised.
With Shen Zhuo’s methods, he would definitely not let him reach Liaodong
County alive.
His journey must have been filled with danger.
