Chapter 840 The Princess's Marriage is Mighty and Magnificent
Shi Li heard the sound, and Sen Heng also heard it.
Without any expression on his face, he stood up calmly and protected Shi Li behind him.
"It's not prey, it's a person."
He lowered his voice and stared at the bushes.
A moment later, Xiang Yue crawled out from behind the bushes with some blood on his face, looking very embarrassed.
"You guys... hurry up! There's a beast chasing me!"
When he saw Shi Li and Sen Heng, his expression was very surprised, but he immediately reacted and spoke hurriedly.
Shi Li looked at him quietly, without any ripples in her heart.
Xiang Yue probably would not have thought that the overlord of this forest was actually a group of wolves, and that group of wolves absolutely obeyed Sen Heng.
Therefore, no matter what kind of ferocious beast it is, there is no need to be afraid of it.
Moreover, looking at Xiang Yue's disheveled but ruddy face, Shi Li didn't think that he was really seriously injured.
What on earth is he going to do?
In order to find out the truth, Shi Li decided to cooperate with his performance. She stepped forward and grabbed Sen Heng's sleeve, then tried to make a panic expression, "Sen Heng, let's go!"
Sen Heng only glanced at her, as if he understood what she was thinking, and said without further ado, "Okay."
As if to prove that Xiang Yue was not lying, a roar of a wild beast was heard from the bushes.
Xiang Yue was about to speak and urge them to act quickly when Sen Heng picked her up and threw her onto the horse's back, like checking in a piece of luggage.
Shi Li also rode on her own little white horse and ran in the opposite direction of the bushes.
It was not known whether it was because Sen Heng's riding skills were poor or for some other reason, but Xiang Yue was jolted so badly on the horse's back that every time she tried to speak, she was out of breath and could not utter a single word.
From time to time, they could hear the roars of wild beasts behind them, forcing them to continue running forward, and unknowingly they walked into the depths of the snow-capped mountains.
For most people, deep in the mountains and forests, it means more dangers.
By the time they finally could no longer hear the roar of the beasts, they had already fled very far and arrived at a completely unfamiliar place.
Xiang Yue's face turned pale. He staggered off his horse and looked around. "Where is this? Are we lost?"
Just at this moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the snow was about to get heavier.
There is a cave not far away, which serves as a good shelter.
"Let's hide over there first and wait until the snow stops."
Shi Li remained calm and pointed to the cave.
Xiang Yue nodded gratefully at her after hearing this, "Thank you so much for saving my life just now, Princess."
Obviously it was Sen Heng who took him on the horse, but he didn't mention it at all. Instead, he thanked Shi Li.
This kind of behavior would probably be called green tea in modern times.
Shi Li pretended not to notice and smiled at him reassuringly, "It's okay, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will lend a helping hand."
From the corner of her eye, she saw that the boy next to her unconsciously pursed his lips into a straight line when she spoke. Shi Li then stretched out a hand close to him and quietly hooked his fingers.
Then, the finger was grasped.
The three men braved the snow and came to the cave entrance, tied the horses to a big tree outside the cave, and then walked into the cave.
Someone might have stayed there for a short time, and there were still a few piles of hay left, so there was not even a place for people to sit down and rest.
Shi Li didn't even have to do anything, Sen Heng had already laid out the hay for her.
Although it is not as good as felt, it is better than standing all the time.
Shi Li was not a pretentious person, so she sat down on the hay, then looked at Xiang Yue who looked reserved, "You sit down too, are your injuries serious?"
Xiangyue's eyes lit up again when she received the care. She shook her head and said "it doesn't matter" repeatedly, then sat not far from Shili.
As the snow fell heavier, the cave became colder.
Sen Heng wanted to go to the door to pick up some dry branches for making a fire, and Xiang Yue volunteered to go with him. Shi Li tried to persuade him in vain, so she just let him go.
After a while, the two of them brought back two piles of dry branches and built a warm bonfire at the entrance of the cave.
In the light of the fire, Shi Li smelled the unique scent of a burning bonfire and couldn't help but yawning tiredly.
