The prince immediately let go of his hand and turned away: "I'm not thirsty, so don't run around. What if you attract wild animals?"
Xiao Lezi thought about it and thought it was true, so she gave up the idea of getting water. She found a place not far from the prince and squatted down. The night wind blew away the remaining cold sweat on her wrists, giving her a slight chill.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, the prince's face lost a lot of its sharpness and looked hazy and soft: "Why are you here?"
Xiaolezi truthfully told what happened in the camp.
After hearing this, the prince still had no expression on his face: "Just wait, the guards should be able to find this place soon."
"Oh," Xiao Lezi paused, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked tentatively, "How can His Highness be alone? Where is the eldest prince?"
"We got separated while hunting."
Xiao Lezi nodded, feeling very disappointed. Such a good opportunity for wild cooperation was missed by the two protagonists. It was really hard work!
At this time, her stomach growled, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.
She didn't feel embarrassed, because at the same moment, the prince's stomach also made the same growl.
After a while of silence, Xiao Lezi volunteered: "Your Highness, please rest here. I will go look for food right now."
"Don't go!" The prince paused immediately, his face froze slightly, and he looked away, "It's still raining outside, don't run around. I killed a few prey before and put them in the cave. Go get some and bake them.
eat."
As soon as Xiao Lezi heard that there was food, he didn't care about the strange emotion that the prince had revealed just now, and hurried to the innermost part of the cave... Good guy, there were three adult sika deer, a fox and four rabbits.
The harvest is really rich!
She was not greedy, so she picked up two of the smallest rabbits, walked to the prince and said, "Your Highness, I will go to the stream to clean the rabbit meat. I will be back soon."
"Wait," the prince called her, hesitated for a long time, and then said awkwardly, "I'll give you a cup of tea. If you don't come back, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor."
Damn it, if this guy takes the throne, he will definitely be a tyrant!
Xiao Lezi cursed secretly and swore over and over again that he would come back on time. Then he held a bloody rabbit in one hand and ran quickly to find the creek.
The rain has slowed down a lot now, it's just drizzle, accompanied by a cold wind.
Xiao Lezi squatted by the stream, looking miserable.
She had never killed a chicken before, but now she had to skin and cramp two rabbits with her own hands. She endured the unbearable pain in her heart, hastily removed the internal organs of the rabbit meat, stuffed it into the stream to wash away the blood, and used the water she brought with her to wash away the blood.
The bag contains some water.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell and thunder fell from the sky.
Rumbling, deafening.
It’s just rained and it’s about to thunder again. What kind of bad weather is this?!
Xiao Lezi ran back to the cave at the risk of being struck by lightning, only to see the prince sitting huddled next to the fire, with his head buried between his arms, his upper body arched like a shrimp, and his shoulders resting on the ground.
Trembling.
She involuntarily slowed down, walked to him, and cautiously called out softly: "Your Highness?"
As soon as he heard her voice, the prince immediately raised his head and stared at her with his red eyes. She trembled in fright and instinctively stepped back. The prince did not give her this chance. He stretched out his hands and tightened her waist.
Hold on tight!
He was trembling, he was scared.
No one would have thought that the prince of the unparalleled dynasty would be afraid of thunder? (To be continued)
