Chapter 105
The booming sound came slowly, and gradually returned to calm.

Most of the cave entrance was dark, as if it was covered by something.

The flame trembled slightly, but it was still burning hot.

Si Ruiyan glanced at the entrance of the cave, which was glowing with long dark light, and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the entrance of the cave was not sealed tightly, and the fire was not extinguished either.

Everything is safe and sound.

"It should be due to the torrential rain, which caused the mountain to collapse." Si Ruiyan listened to the movement around him and confirmed that he had settled down.

The person in his arms didn't move, he looked down, only to realize that he was holding Xiao Ning in his arms, so much force that her mouth and nose were pressed against his chest.

Xiao Ning's shoulder was injured and he couldn't struggle, he could only make a whining sound.

"I can't breathe!"

As soon as Si Ruiyan let go, Xiao Ning couldn't help but exclaimed and took a big breath.

The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated in her voice, and for some reason, there seemed to be a hint of joy in the air.

"I didn't intend to do that." Si Ruiyan let go of his hand a little, his chest throbbing slightly.

He could feel Xiao Ning's warmth in front of him.

Xiao Ning, who was about to scold, looked up at Si Ruiyan, and she was surprised when she saw it.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but the face of this ice cube turned red.

Feeling the gaze looking at him, Si Ruiyan turned his eyes to look elsewhere, and threw another stick into the dimming fire.

"I don't know when this rain will stop." Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Si Ruiyan couldn't help but find some words to ease the embarrassment first.

Si Ruiyan glanced at the entrance of the cave, listening to the sound of the rain getting smaller and smaller outside: "It should be soon, at most it will not exceed an hour."

Listening to the titles in overlapping characters, Si Ruiyan couldn't guess who the woman who was called was for a moment.

It's just that from his understanding, Xiao Ning didn't have many women around him since he was born.Apart from the wet nurse and the serving maid, the only women she knew were Xiao Wanying and others.

The person in his arms was getting closer and closer, and the fragile skin was tightly pressed against Si Ruiyan's chest, his lips were moving, and he was still whispering.

Boom... There was a loud noise, and the broken stones from the cave ceiling fell in bursts along with the dust.

Xiao Ning woke up from the dream, his eyes were still in a daze.

"Don't move!" Si Ruiyan raised his hand to protect Xiao Ning, and leaned forward to block all the falling gravel and dust.

The booming sound came slowly, and gradually returned to calm.

Si Ruiyan glanced at the entrance of the cave, listening to the sound of the rain getting smaller and smaller outside: "It should be soon, at most it will not exceed an hour."

He looked back at Xiao Ning: "If you're still tired, go back to sleep, and I'll wake you up when it's time."

She was woken up by the landslide just now, so she probably hasn't slept enough.

"I don't feel sleepy anymore." Xiao Ning nestled in a warm embrace, which was quite comfortable at first.But after seeing Si Ruiyan blushing, he felt something was wrong.

She wanted to leave Si Ruiyan, but the pain in her shoulder made it hard for her to move.

It is impossible to sit still, and it is even more impossible to stand.

"Did you have a dream just now?" Si Ruiyan said while poking the fire with a wooden stick, making it look like he had something to do, so it wasn't so embarrassing to ask.

Si Ruiyan was taken aback for a moment, and said nervously, "I don't know what to say in my sleep!"

In the dream, she dreamed that she had returned to modern times, to that warm home.

Mom prepared her favorite dishes for her, and dreamed of her warm and comfortable little bed and the little wild cat she kept at home.

Everything is so warm.

But that landslide rumbled and took away all the good things.

Xiao Ning's eyes were moist, and his nose couldn't help being sore.

I don't know how my mother is doing now. She must be in a hurry after disappearing for so long.There was also the little wild cat, which was less than a month old when it was picked up, and it was she who stayed up all night to barely feed it.

She has been here for a long time, and she has always wanted to send a letter to her mother, but the two intersecting time and space have nothing in common.

"Is the wound hurting again?" Si Ruiyan frowned when he saw her crying.

Could it be that he hugged her tightly and touched her wound.

He quickly looked at the wound, but saw that it was intact and not cracked.

"I just thought of it, my mother." Xiao Ning held back the mother that was on his lips.

mother?Si Ruiyan frowned in confusion, but the person she called just now was obviously her mother.This is not Mrs. Xiao's name, is it a nickname?
But how could a daughter call her mother by her nickname?

"Believe it or not, there are two places in this world that are the same but don't connect." Xiao Ning looked at the dark cave roof, she wished that this place could lead to another world.

Si Ruiyan was startled, and suddenly thought of something.

"Someone once told me that the dead will go to another place. There are no bad people there, only immortals who reward the good and punish the evil. The good people enjoy blessings and the evil people suffer."

He also believed such a lie when he was young, but now it sounds ridiculous.

"My mother should be at that place." Xiao Ning smiled, slightly bitter.

If possible, she hopes that her mother can live happily in another world, with that uncle who seems to be a nice person.

"Mrs. Xiao passed away due to illness in her early years. Have you always been alone?" Si Ruiyan didn't know her childhood experiences.

Xiao Ning shook her head helplessly, how could she know how the original owner lived when he was a child.She came here inexplicably, and became the concubine's second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion inexplicably. Looking back now, she still thinks it was a dream.

"Otherwise, it's not like you don't know who father is doting on now."

Si Ruiyan lowered his eyes and remained silent, now there is only one favorite in the Shangshu Mansion, and that is the eldest daughter Xiao Qi.

Not to mention her, even Xiao Wanying from the second younger brother Xiao Guang's family is more favored than Xiao Ning, his own daughter.Sometimes Si Ruiyan doubts whether Xiao Ning is Xiao Ran's daughter or not.

"If I hadn't grown up alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to manage the Song Family Restaurant today. Thanks to those who treated me harshly, I know that in this world, only by relying on myself and making myself stronger can I be invincible.
