Chapter 263 Selfishness
The person in his arms was as light as a feather, and Pei Mo picked him up easily.

Inadvertently, he bumped into Murong Qing's clear eyes, which clearly reflected his face, Pei Mo felt as if his heart had missed a beat.

The hands holding her started to burn, Pei Mo dodged his eyes and put her on the bed.

"Well, there are no herbs, I have to dig some in the woods."

Pei Mo explained that he was still too embarrassed to tell her about the family's predicament.

Murong Qing saw the thick sackcloth wrapped around her calf, and then remembered that she was bitten by a poisonous snake.

"You saved me?"

She asked, so what she saw at that time was not a hallucination, it was really the general who came to save her.

Thinking of this, Murong Qing had a smile on his face.

That smile burned into Pei Mo's heart like a brand, "Well, it's me."

But in fact, Pei Mo still doesn't understand why he brought Murong Qing back.

There are many difficulties in the woods. Sometimes he can't catch prey for two or three days. He is barely full. He is saving a delicate girl, so how can he live.

There are beasts in and out during the day, not to mention the night when you can't see your fingers.

But that night, Pei Mo himself didn't know where he got the courage to go hunting, as if something in the dark led him there.

Even the moonlight was dim that night, and the cave that Pei Mo hadn't discovered during the day was actually discovered at night.

Splitting the vines, he saw a distressed girl crying in despair, like the scream of a dying swan.

He didn't hear what the girl was yelling, but he felt that the girl's eyes lit up the moment she saw him.

But the girl passed out quickly, and Pei Mo stepped forward to check her injuries. The snake's venom was not fatal, and a healthy person could survive if he endured it.

For an instant, he was confused.

The girl's body was clearly recovering from a serious illness, and it was impossible for her to survive.

But he didn't hesitate, picked him up and brought him back to the stone house, and pulled out a few herbs according to his intuition.

There was no reason, just a sudden impulse to see her.

Pei Mo's heart, which had been exhausted for a long time, seemed to take on a new look, and he jumped up again.

It's like meeting again after a long absence, and the heart beats faster than the memory.

It turned out that he was not a silent mountain, but he hadn't waited for the rain to wake him up.

Perhaps, they really reunited.

Murong Qing pressed his calf and frowned again.

Pei Mo quickly asked, "What's the matter, does the wound hurt again?"

"A little bit." Murong Qing said worriedly, "My leg will be fine."

The fall just now made her flustered, and she could still feel pain when she pressed her calf, so she was inevitably uneasy.

Pei Mo clenched his hand by his side into a fist, "Don't worry, it's not a bone injury, it's just a skin injury. It will be healed after a few days of rest."

But there was nothing in this room, and Pei Mo couldn't even get enough to eat, so he was actually worried that this unknown girl would be sick because of poor food.

But the thought is fleeting.

"I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon. You lie on the bed and don't move around."

Murong Qing looked at the deep mountains and old forests outside, "But the mountains are dangerous, my leg is actually fine, why don't you stay with me."

Her hand caressed her flat belly, lost and found like a dream, she didn't ask for anything, she just wanted Pei Mo to sit down and be with her.

Pei Mo also forgot about her child.

Murong Qing suddenly felt distressed, but on second thought, it's good to forget, if you don't remember, you won't be sad.

She didn't want to bear the pain of losing hope again.

Pei Mo could see her disappointment, but he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "You just stay here and don't worry about where I go."

After speaking, he felt that his tone was too heavy, and he added, "What's the danger in this forest? I've been back and forth several times. You don't have to worry, I'll be back soon."

Murong Qing clasped his palms, "Okay then, you have to come back quickly."

But in fact, she thought in her heart that she could still feel the pain, so this is not a dream, right, Pei Mo will come back!

Pei Motou left the stone house without looking back, Murong Qing leaned against the window and watched his disappearing figure until he could no longer be seen.

God knows how much Pei Mo tried so hard not to look back, he was afraid that if his heart softened and he would see the girl's reluctant eyes when he turned around, he would not want to come out again.

What the hell, Pei Mo made sure to go far enough before he slapped himself.

Why did he feel like his wife was waiting for him to come home? How could he marry this fairy-like girl back home?

Pei Mo shook his head, pushing those whimsical thoughts out of his mind.

It's important to find food, if you can't find it, both he and the girl will starve to death!

After Pei Mo left, Murong Qing couldn't sit still, and wanted to lift the thick linen cloth to check the wound, but the bottom of the linen cloth was covered with a layer of dark green herbal mud, and the wound could not be seen at all.

She didn't dare to move, and wrapped the sackcloth around her legs again.

So he leaned out of the window and looked around at the outside environment.

The sky outside was very bright, and there was no hourglass or other timekeeping tools. Murong Qing had no idea what time it was, and could only guess based on experience that the sun was so high, it should be around noon.

Looking at the surrounding layout, it seemed that Pei Mo didn't live long there.

Murong Qing thought, it has actually been nearly a month since Xiaochan, so Pei Mo fell off the cliff and did not die, but fell into this deep mountain, and for some reason he forgot what happened before.

But it doesn't matter, Murong Qing made a decision, she wanted to be selfish for a while, hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and live a life with Pei Mo without being disturbed by anyone.

Think of it as starting over.

She can look past the matter of the child, she is going against the sky to live a new life, how dare she pray for continuous descendants.

Perhaps this is the price of her rebirth, there must be some time in life, and there is no time in life to force it.

Pei Mo here had a great luck, and today's harvest is very rich!

He caught several wild rabbits, also caught a long-tailed pheasant, and brought back the herbs Murong Qing needed.

Back in the stone house, Murong Qing originally wanted to help, but Pei Mo sternly refused. How could such a thing be done to a girl who seemed to have no fingers.

The hares were not killed, seeing Murong Qing take a second look at them, Pei Mo decided to kill them later.

He skillfully disemboweled the pheasant, and soon smoke rose from the earthen stove.

This wisp of smoke adds a touch of worldly fireworks to the luxuriant forest.

It seems that this is not a virgin forest with dense bones buried, but a small village full of vitality.

Pei Mo felt the sight behind him, and when he looked back, he bumped into Murong Qing's bright smile.

He smiled involuntarily, full of foolishness, but thanks to the cover of his beard, he didn't look so idiotic.
