The three of them did their best to escape from the hands of those assassins. Xiao Xin realised that there was a run-down temple in front of them, as though they had finally found a place to hide from the storm.
This dilapidated temple was located in a wilderness of wild hills, overgrown with weeds. It was a desolate scene of decline and decline. However, compared to the time when the tribute was paid to the people, the people who came to the entrance of the temple came in droves. This was not the same as the past. Both Ao Dong and Feng Yu could not help but feel a sense of sadness.
He didn't know if anyone thought back then that this temple would have this kind of desolate appearance.
Feng Yu raised her head and saw the Buddha statue. The Buddha still had a face full of compassion, a smile that seemed to be able to overcome all living things. His heart was filled with nostalgia. I wonder, how are Xuanyuan Zhan and Dou Dou currently doing?
Of course, Ao Dong didn't know what Feng Yu was thinking, so he asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's all my fault. I've dragged you guys down." As Ao Dong said this, his face couldn't help but show his guilt and sorrow. However, Feng Yu did not seem to be moved by his words, and even mocked him mockingly. His heart was filled with arrogance and disdain.
Hearing this, Ao Dong was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. However, it could be seen that he was trying his best to maintain the smile that he should have. It was very awkward, but at the same time, he could not help but feel somewhat uncertain.
Both of them stopped talking and went about their own business.
Feng Yu looked at the rest of her luggage. Fortunately, she hadn't lost anything, and there were enough rations left in the stock. She couldn't help but rejoice in her misfortune. Feng Yu took out some rations and passed it to Xiao Xin: "Are you hungry?"
"Hurry up and eat. Only after you've eaten your fill will you have the strength to set off." Feng Yu reminded him with concern.
"Yes." Xiao Xin agreed. She looked at Ao Dong, who seemed to have something on his mind, and passed him a bun: "You must be hungry, eat."
For a moment, he did not know what to do. He was indeed very hungry, but because he could not let go of his face, he could not help but take a look at Feng Yu's face. However, Feng Yu didn't have any intention of going to see him. She was only preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Xiao Xin urged again, "Quickly eat."
Only then did Ao Dong come back to his senses, wolfing down his food.
After eating the bun, Xiao Xin was already asleep. Feng Yu, on the other hand, was lost in thought, so Ao Dong found it inconvenient to disturb her. She could only stay there by herself. Both of them had their own thoughts, so they didn't say anything.
In truth, Ao Dong did not know how to tell Feng Yu about himself. His matters were far too complicated, and could not be explained in a few words. Moreover, she and Feng Yu had only met by chance. Even though they had saved each other, they still hadn't been able to talk too much. Ao Dong knew that he could not tell Feng Yu the truth about his story.
However, it seemed like Feng Yu herself also had many stories.
However, Ao Dong did not intend to ask.
Furthermore, in Ao Dong's heart, Feng Yu and Xiao Xin were only ordinary people to him. They might not be able to understand his matters, so there was naturally no need for him to explain further.
Ao Dong leaned against the broken wall of the temple, looked at Feng Yu and Xiao Xin who had already entered their resting state, and could not help but sigh softly. In his heart, he secretly apologized to Feng Yu and Xiao Xin.
Actually, Ao Dong's real identity was Southern Ao Nation's Crown Prince, Chu Dongao. The reason he left this time was to inspect the people's affairs, but who knew that Chu Dongxiong, who had been wanting to get rid of the throne for a long time, wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of him. Although Ao Dong knew this himself, he felt that they were siblings after all. He couldn't believe that his brother would actually do something so cruel and cruel to his compatriots.
He had been too personal. Ao Dong thought, sure enough, he couldn't be too lenient. Even if it was his own blood brother, he couldn't relax his guard too much.
Ao Dong knew that his brother Chu Dongxiong wanted to use the opportunity to go out and inspect the people's affairs to get rid of him, so he changed his name to Ao Dong. Firstly, was to avoid being chased down by his brother Chu Dongxiong, and secondly to avoid unnecessary trouble. He, Chu Dongao, was, after all, the Crown Prince of the NANOU.
Therefore, he had always condoned his brother's actions. Even if his brother did something to hurt him, Chu Dongao had never thought of using his own brother's method to hurt Chu Dongxiong.
Of course, there was another important reason, and that was when he was very young, he was shooting arrows with his younger brother, Chu Dongxiong. On that day, it was clear that he had won against his younger brother, but his brother was being shameless and was still wailing on the ground.
Chu Dongao always remembered that day. On that day, the sunlight was very good, he and his brother were training in the shooting field of the imperial palace. He won against his brother, but when his brother was crying, the people beside them did not dare to say anything. When father came, he asked, "What happened?"
Chu Dongao explained the cause of this matter clearly. He was clearly the most outstanding, yet royal father didn't praise him, and even indulged Chu Dongxiong.
Although that night royal father called him into his bedchamber, Chun Chun taught him: "Dong Ao, you are the elder brother. You must learn to be modest in everything and the two of you must learn to live in harmony with each other. Don't fight over me, it's not good. "
Chu Dongao had never thought of fighting with Chu Dongxiong, he just did not understand why when he was clearly doing the right thing, his younger brother Chu Dongxiong would become the one in the wrong. At the same time, he was always working hard, wanting to become a qualified crown prince and become a qualified emperor in the future. At that time, Chu Dongao was still young and did not know anything. At the same time, he could not understand and did not know what to do.
However, as his father caressed his head, he said in a very amiable and benevolent manner, "Dong Ao, your little brother has been neglected since he was young. I wasn't able to take good care of him, but you are different."
"I really owe your little brother too much." I really don't know how to make it up to him. As his elder brother, I will forgive him a bit more, but at the same time, I will teach him a little more. When he grows up, he will naturally understand. "
royal father's words had always been firmly engraved in Chu Dongao's heart, and he treated Chu Dongxiong with extreme tolerance. It was just that he had never thought, and was also unwilling to think, that what his little brother wanted, was his life, and the position of crown prince.
"Even if Dong Xiong makes a mistake, you still have to forgive him." Royal Father's words still resounded in his ears, causing Chu Dongao to instantly panic.
Feng Yu and Xiao Xin had already fallen asleep. Chu Dongao found some straw that was covered in dust within the broken temple, afraid that the two of them would catch a cold. He covered them up, took off his jacket and placed it on their bodies.
Chu Dongao apologized to Feng Yu in his heart, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth."
"I hope you can understand that I didn't intentionally deceive you or conceal my identity."
But when he thought about how Feng Yu and Xiao Xin had fallen to such a state all because of him, Chu Dongao felt even more guilty, and couldn't help but blame himself.
However, what Chu Dongao did not know at the moment was that this ambush had been carried out by the person he trusted the most, who had betrayed him.
It was only after several hours did Feng Yu and Xiao Xin awaken. By this time, Chu Dongao was already fast asleep due to his exhaustion, but Feng Yu realized that her body was covered with a straw and Ao Dong's clothes. A hint of warmth flashed in her heart. Feng Yu felt that she might still have some misconception about Ao Dong. Hence, she stood up, walked to Ao Dong's side, and warned Xiao Xin repeatedly not to run around. After covering herself with these clothes and straw, Feng Yu walked closer to Ao Dong. Only then did she realize that she had not taken a good look at her face these past few days.
There was a heroic look on Ao Dong's face. His facial features could be considered exquisite, and he was extremely handsome. Feng Yu guessed that he was definitely a martial arts practitioner, or else he wouldn't have such an expression. Thinking about it, Feng Yu thought about Xuanyuan Zhan, that person was the same. It could be said that he was truly a heroic figure.
Just as Feng Yu was about to leave, she heard a faint sound from Ao Dong's mouth. It was just that the sound was too soft, so Feng Yu was unable to tell what she was saying. As a result, she leaned closer to listen, but still couldn't figure out what was going on, so she gave up.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and was greatly alarmed in his heart. His old injuries had yet to heal and today, he was injured once again because of him. Right now, it could be said that his injuries were even more severe.
Feng Yu suddenly felt a bit upset. She felt that she had been too careless. Actually, she should've cared about him a little. Feng Yu was a little regretful. At that time, all she had felt about Ao Dong was that she was too fake. She had completely forgotten that he was seriously injured and had forgotten to form a proper relationship with him.
Furthermore, the injuries on Ao Dong's body this time, were mostly for himself and Xiao Xin. She, Feng Yu, had never liked to owe others anything, so she felt even more uncomfortable. He leaned closer to look at his face and saw that there was a look of pain on it, but he was trying his best to hold it in.
He kept mumbling to himself, but Feng Yu could not tell what Ao Dong was talking about.
However, Feng Yu suddenly felt that something was not right. It seemed that something was wrong with Ao Dong's body. She reached out her hand to stroke his forehead, and couldn't help but cry out: "Ah!" It's so hot! "
Feng Yu thought that his current condition had definitely worsened to the extreme. Her mind was beginning to be slightly unclear and her heart was extremely anxious, afraid that he would encounter some mishap. His life had been saved by her, so naturally, it was fated. Naturally, she didn't owe him anything. But Feng Yu did not expect that because of him and Xiao Xin, he had actually lost his life.
Feng Yu first called out to Ao Dong's name, but he did not have any reaction. His face was pale, and her breathing did not seem to be smooth either. Everywhere she looked, she was having a difficult time breathing. Feng Yu patted his shoulder again, but there was no reaction. Feng Yu immediately called Xiao Xin over, explaining Ao Dong's situation to Xiao Xin. Xiao Xin was also extremely anxious, but the two of them did not know what to do. No one passed through the wilderness, and where would they go to find a doctor?
Xiao Xin found a piece of cloth and looked for a well beside the run-down temple that seemed to be dry yet not completely dry. She brought out a bucket of water and wet the cloth, then placed it on his forehead.
"He should be fine, right?" When Xiao Xin asked this question, Feng Yu actually didn't know how to reply for a moment. Then, she returned to her usual cold demeanor and said faintly, "My apologies, but he didn't die when we met him. I believe she won't die that easily either."
After listening to Feng Yu's words, Xiao Xin naturally felt slightly more at ease, and went to pick up some firewood to start a fire. Although Chu Dongao's body was burning hot from fever, he still felt extremely cold, and Xiao Xin hoped that he could feel a little warmth.
Feng Yu knew that they couldn't stay in this run-down temple for too long, so she only hoped that Ao Dong would wake up as soon as possible and leave this troublesome place with them. Otherwise, Feng Yu definitely wouldn't feel at ease.
After an entire night, Feng Yu and Xiao Xin had also waited by Chu Dongao's side for an entire night. The two of them took turns to fetch some water from Chu Dongao's body. Feng Yu and Xiao Xin could be considered slightly relieved, and the two of them went to sleep.
On the morning of the second day, Feng Yu woke up and realized that Chu Dongao had also woken up. His mind was already clear and she could still call out her name, "Feng Yu … You guys … You guarded me for an entire night? "
Feng Yu hurriedly denied it as she thought to herself, "This guy really thinks too much of himself."
Chu Dongao naturally did not believe him, and instead laughed: "Alright, you don't have to worry about me."
"Who's worried about you?" Feng Yu found the person in front of him laughable.
Since Chu Dongao had already woken up and was still able to walk, the three of them decided to leave immediately. Feng Yu could not bear to see Ao Dong's injuries worsen, so they used modern techniques to help Chu Dongao escape from the pursuit.
