Then, he tied up a wild chicken with a leg and put it into the basket. Li Qingling wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked Liu Zhimo who was gasping for air, was he tired?

Her mind was in a mess. She glanced at Liu Zhimo, who was still waiting for her reply, and calmly told him a white lie, "Yeah, I can eat it. I tried it last time, it wasn't poisoned."

With that, she put the potatoes into the basket like a precious treasure. These things were easy to grow and had a high yield. She planned to take them home to plant.

Liu Zhimo nodded, and did not continue the line of questioning. At this moment, he did not realize, he trusted Li Qingling a lot, and what she said, meant what he believed.

She secretly let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn't ask again. If she were to ask again, she would have to lie even more. "Let's go!"

Liu Zhimo was so happy that his smile never faded, but Li Qingling was not satisfied. The two of them sold the money, split it evenly, and did not earn much.

She looked at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set. They had long since pa.s.sed the small hill where she had rested. Walking back now was not reliable, so she could only find a place to sleep for the night.

"Zhi Moge, wait for me here. I will go find a place to spend the night."

"I'll go too." Liu Zhimo was worried that she would go alone. No matter what, he was still older than her, so if he met with any danger, he would be able to help her.

After thinking for a moment, Li Qingling nodded his head, and the two started searching the area.

The two of them were lucky to find a hidden cave nearby.

Li Qingling put down the basket on his back and climbed up the rock. He carefully went in to take a look and found no animal p.o.o.p, which meant it was not an animal's cave.

"Zhi Moge, come up!" She crawled out and waved at Liu Zhimo, who handed her the basket on his back to take before climbing up.

It was a bit steep outside of the cave and this was the first time he was climbing up. He even carried the basket on his back and didn't manage to climb up for a long time.

Li Qingling wanted to pull him up, but he rejected her. He didn't want to be such an impotent man, she could do it, he could do it. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and climbed up with all his might.

As soon as he climbed up, she gave him a thumbs-up.

Everyone liked to be praised, Liu Zhimo also did the same. He smiled at her, stood up, patted on the dust on his clothes, and walked in.

From the outside, the cave entrance was very small and hidden, but after entering, he found that the interior was rather large and not too damp. It was a good place to spend the night.

Liu Zhimo had no objections. In the wilderness, he was just a small fry.

Liu Zhimo had no objections as he followed Li Qingling out of the cave.

When Li Qingling returned, Liu Zhimo had already lit the fire. He smiled as he told him that they would be eating hair pit chicken stew tonight.

When he looked up and saw her bright eyes, Liu Zhimo smiled and nodded.

During this dinner, the two of them had not only eaten the Mushroom Chicken, but Li Qingling had also roasted a fish.

"The great thing about life is that you eat and drink to your heart's content, and then have a good sleep!" Li Qingling patted his stomach and sighed. She didn't have any big aspirations, he only wanted her family members to eat their fill and wear warm clothes. "Zhi Moge, what ambitions do you have?"

But now, he had fallen into a cliché. He only wanted to raise his younger brother and sister and watch them get married and have children.

"What about you?" He turned his head to look at the fire and asked her a question in reply.

In this place, a woman's status was not high. Even if she had high ambitions, she could not display them!

Besides, she didn't know many. If she could feed her family, she should be secretly laughing.

Hearing that, Liu Zhimo turned his head again and looked straight at her. He looked at her with a panicked heart and asked him, was she talking about something wrong?

"..."

Li Qingling raised her brows and looked at him, then muttered to himself for a while, "Summoning Mo, do you want to continue with school?"

After he said this, he was startled, but he still shook his head and said that he didn't want to.

She felt that he was thinking of it, but because his family didn't allow it, he decided against it.

"If you can keep you in school, will you go?"

Liu Zhimo closed his eyes and pursed his lips, not saying a word.

But now …

The two of them were silent. Li Qingling was also tired, he curled up on the ground and fell asleep in a moment.

Liu Zhimo looked at the tiny figure with a heavy gaze. No one knew what he was thinking about.

The first time he had spent the night in the wilderness, he was still a bit panicked after hearing the sounds of the wild beasts. He saw some small bonfires and quickly made them bigger, afraid that the bonfire would be extinguished.

That night, Li Qingling slept soundly, yet Liu Zhimo did not sleep at all. When dawn was about to arrive, he could not hold on any longer, and fell asleep while lying on the ground.

When Li Qingling woke up, he found Liu Zhimo sleeping soundly, but she did not wake him up. Instead, she got up, picked up a jar, and took another fish before walking out of the cave.

When she finished making breakfast, and Liu Zhimo still had not woken up, she pushed him and woke him up.

Liu Zhimo glanced at her, then closed his eyes again. After a long while, he opened his eyes again, "En, it was a wild beast's meow last night, it was very noisy." He made an excuse.

When he stood up, he swayed for a moment, and she reached out to support him. She was startled when she felt his warm skin.

She forcefully pulled him back and sat him down on the ground, "Drink some fish soup first, I'll go find some herbs to bring back." In this deep mountain wilderness, being hot was a very important matter. If one was not careful, it was possible that they might lose their life.

"I'm fine!" Liu Zhimo just felt a little tired, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

"Be good!" She took a gulp of the soup, and it stopped him in his tracks. She nodded helplessly as she took the bowl of fish soup and started to drink slowly.

Li Qingling did not dare delay any longer, and quickly left the cave, running out to look for the antipyretic herbs.

A quarter of an hour later, she hurriedly ran back with the herbs she had washed. Fortunately, she still recognized the herbs needed for the fever. Otherwise, things would have been terrible for her.

Seeing her perspiring profusely, Liu Zhimo felt guilty in his heart, "Drink some fish soup first, I'm not in a hurry." He handed her the jar in his hand.

Without any pretense, she picked it up, drank it, finished it, ate the rest of the fish, and took the jar out of the cave again.

When she returned with the water, she saw that Liu Zhimo's face was even redder, she did not dare waste any time, and anxiously threw the herbs into the jar and started boiling.

She looked at the fire and probed his forehead from time to time, afraid that his temperature would rise again.
