The next day, Zhao Qianye and Xia Ziyan were still in the cave.
This cave is in the middle of the cliff. The stone walls are very smooth. It is difficult to go up and even harder to go down.
"Brother Zhao, what should we do? The two of us won't die of old age here, right?"
Xia Ziyan, supported by Zhao Qianye, walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the clouds and mist outside the cliff. She asked a little worriedly.
"How is it possible? There must be a way to get out."
Although Zhao Qianye didn't know how to leave, he was still confident.
From the age of eight, his life has never been smooth, the road he has traveled has never been smooth, he has seen too many dangers, and he has never given up.
It's the same this time.
Although there is still no news about his son and now he is in trouble, he still has not lost confidence.
However, faith alone is obviously not enough, food is also needed.
Fortunately, there were a lot of dried fruits in the cave, and in the innermost part, there was water dripping from the cracks in the rocks, so that they would not starve to death or die of thirst for the time being.
After Zhao Qianye's treatment, Xia Ziyan's injury has improved a lot, but the bones cannot grow back so quickly, and there is still some pain from time to time.
Every time when she was in unbearable pain, Zhao Qianye would spend all his energy to warm and heal the injured area.
"Brother Zhao, if you hadn't risked your life to save me, I would have died..."
Xia Ziyan leaned against him, wanting to commit herself to him.
She even felt that Zhao Qianye loved her deeply, otherwise how could he jump off the cliff with her.
"Zi Yan, don't think so wildly, or I will leave alone."
Zhao Qianye quickly moved away from her.
This girl, as long as she is a little nicer to her, she will think about whatever she wants.
He already has Wang Chuxia, how can he accept her again, and he doesn't feel that way about her at all.
Even Su Hong, who had always been by his side and took good care of him, and Alice from the West, Zhao Qianye never had such thoughts.
"Brother Zhao, can't you be nicer to me? I know you have a wife, but I don't mind. I really don't mind."
Xia Ziyan walked to him, put her arms around Zhao Qianye's waist, and lay down in front of him with her whole body.
Feeling her softness, Zhao Qianye became even more afraid and quickly pushed her away.
"Um……"
Xia Ziyan frowned in pain, sweat dripping from her forehead.
"I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to..."
Zhao Qianye walked over quickly and helped Xia Ziyan sit down in the cave to rest.
At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind from the entrance of the cave, as if something fell on the big rock at the entrance of the cave.
Zhao Qianye immediately walked outside.
But before he could walk out, something covered in red feathers reached into his head from outside the cave. It stared at Zhao Qianye and Xia Ziyan with a pair of round eyes, showing strong hostility.
"Ah, Brother Zhao, what the hell is this?"
Seeing this guy, Xia Ziyan was so frightened that she rushed straight into Zhao Qianye's body. She was indeed a little girl. A person with such a high level of cultivation was still so timid.
"Don't be afraid, this might be a bird..."
Zhao Qianye has never seen such a big fiery red bird, but with this look, he really doesn’t know what to call it except a bird.
At this time, the thing outside did not dare to come in, and just blocked the entrance of the cave, staring directly at Zhao Qianye and the others.
This is its nest. This time it went out and flew a little farther. Unexpectedly, when it came back, it found that the nest was occupied.
"Hey, what do you mean, we don't mean any harm..."
Zhao Qianye tried to communicate with Red Bird.
This red bird is as big as an ostrich, but its feathers are bright red and sparkle, making it look much prettier than an ostrich.
"Brother Zhao, this bird seems to be a fire phoenix..." Xia Ziyan suddenly said at this time.
She has lived in Yunling Mountain all year round. She once heard her master say that there seems to be a fairy bird called Fire Phoenix in Yunling Mountain, which is rarely seen by ordinary people.
"Fire Phoenix?"
Zhao Qianye has also heard of it.
But this kind of bird seems to only exist in legends. Does it really exist in today's world?
At this time, he walked towards the fire phoenix. Not only did the big red bird not retreat, it even looked like it was ready to attack at any time.
Sure enough, it is a fairy bird. Not only is it not afraid of people, it also plans to use force to solve problems.
"Hey, as I said just now, we don't mean any harm, because my sister is injured and has no choice but to recuperate at your house."
Zhao Qianye walked three steps away from it and stopped.
At this time, Huofeng seemed to understand what Zhao Qianye said, and turned around and walked out.
"Huh? Very cute."
Xia Ziyan's interest arose when she discovered that the red bird didn't hurt them, and the little girl's curiosity was immediately revealed.
At this time, she rushed outside first.
The red bird did not leave, but lay down next to the cliff.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy? Don't worry, Huofeng. We won't occupy your nest. You see, I'm injured. As long as the injury is healed, we will find a way to leave..."
Xia Ziyan walked to it and said.
At this time, the red bird actually nodded, and it turned out that he could understand people's words.
Zhao Qianye felt relieved after discovering that humans and birds could coexist peacefully.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that something golden seemed to be flowing out next to the bird's red claws.
"Hey, are you hurt?"
Zhao Qianye was surprised to find that the golden thing was actually the blood of the firebird, and he hurriedly ran towards it.
The fire phoenix was frightened, spread its wings with a roar, and quickly flew out of the cliff.
The figure of the fire phoenix is very beautiful. Its long red feathers are shining with light. Its wings are spread out to more than ten meters. When it flaps, there is a strong wind.
However, it did not fly away. After a circle, it flew back again. Apparently the injury on its leg had affected the fire phoenix's flight.
"Come here quickly, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..." Zhao Qianye waved to it.
Huo Feng is indeed a fairy bird, he really understands human nature, and he doesn't think Zhao Qianye is a bad person.
It slowly approached the entrance of the cave again, landed on a stone with one foot, and slowly retracted its more than ten-meter-long red wings.
Zhao Qianye was worried that the red bird would accidentally kick him off the cliff, so he stepped back a little, and then waved to the fire phoenix.
"Come here, come over here, I'll check it for you."
Huo Feng nodded and limped towards the entrance of the cave. When he arrived in front of Zhao Qianye, he lay down and exposed his legs.
The fire phoenix's claws are red with golden light, and its bloodline is very noble.
Zhao Qianye squatted next to it and began to inspect it.
This leg seemed to have been pinched by something, leaving a horrifying jagged wound on it, and golden blood was flowing out of the claws.
Zhao Qianye quickly took out a healing medicine, crushed it and sprinkled it on its injured paw, then took out a black mask and wrapped it carefully. (To be continued)
