Chapter 70 Because it is precious, I give it to you

In a cave between the cliff walls, two little men were applying medicine to each other.

Xihe's arms and elbows were all broken and hurt when touched.

"Hiss~ Little brother, be gentle!" The powder was so painful when it touched her skin that the little girl kept shrinking back.

Xiao Mingxuan remained silent, held Xihe in his arms, and slowly applied medicine and bandaged the wound.

The other party didn't say anything. Xihe felt a little uneasy. "Little brother, what's wrong with you? I don't feel any pain anymore."

"How can it not hurt?" Xiao Mingxuan was startled by his own hoarse voice as he opened his mouth. It sounded very much like the last words of an old man in his seventies or eighties on his deathbed. "Do you know how dangerous it was just now? If I had entered the cave earlier, you would..."

He was knocked off the cliff, and used the vines on the rock wall to stabilize his body. When he was falling, he found this cave, and used his strength to swing in the air. He seemed to have sensed something, and was a little slow, so he caught Xihe who jumped down from above.

"Brother, I'm fine. Touch me. I'm hot!" Xihe took Xiao Mingxuan's hand and stroked his cheek.

Feeling the warmth to the touch, Xiao Mingxuan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

"Xiao Xier, why did you jump down with me?" he suddenly asked. His eyes seemed to contain thousands of years of pain, bright as obsidian, emitting a few rays of starlight.

"Because you fell down, little brother, so I came down too."

The situation was urgent at the time, and Xihe subconsciously followed and flipped over. Now, when he thinks about it carefully, he is actually a little scared.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Xiao Mingxuan felt as if there was a ball of anger stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"No." The little girl smiled brightly, her eyes seemed to be filled with dazzling stars, shining brightly, and emitting a few starlights at any time, "Xihe is not afraid of death! At most, I am a little afraid of pain."

Then he continued, "Actually, I don't know what I was thinking at the time. When I saw you fall, I thought about catching you. Xihe... I have to accompany you, little brother. I am a good child who keeps my promise and I will not forget it."

Xiao Mingxuan looked at Xihe tenderly without saying a word. After a long time, he hugged her tightly in his arms, leaving no gap.

The wind blew outside, and the bells in the little girl's hair rang.

The sound rang out, and that was the most determined choice rippling in Xiao Mingxuan's heart.

After a long time, Xiao Mingxuan's voice rang out in the quiet void, "Xiao Xi'er, thank you. I... am very happy."

His thoughts drifted back to many years ago, when his mother was still alive and everyone said that he was a cold-hearted person who was destined to be lonely for the rest of his life.

He didn't understand what everyone was talking about love. At that time, his mother told him that if there is someone you want to give everything to protect, regardless of life or death, then that person is the one you are destined to be entangled with for the rest of your life.

Xiao Mingxuan's purse only contained two things.

A jade pendant and a hairpin, intertwined and entangled.

He took out a hairpin and handed it to Xihe.

"This is your mother's hairpin." The little girl held the hairpin in both hands, looking at Xiao Mingxuan eagerly, with questioning eyes.

"Xiao Xi'er, you must keep this hairpin well and don't lose it. Do you hear me?"

Xihe opened her mouth slightly, "But... this is a very precious thing of yours, how can you give it to me?"

"Why not?" Xiao Mingxuan relaxed his expression, leaning against the wall beside him, looking at the clouds outside the cave calmly, "It's because it's precious, so... I gave it to you."

"Are you sure...give it to me?" the little girl asked again. Xiao Mingxuan nodded, and uttered two words through her red lips, "Sure."

The little girl blinked at the hairpin, and solemnly put it into her purse. The next second, a hairpin appeared in the mustard seed space in her body. She was put on the box and banned.

"Don't worry, little brother. Xihe will keep it well! Even if I lose it, it won't be lost!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingxuan's expression changed slightly, and he said softly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

The little girl quietly stuck out her tongue, then sat aside obediently.

Although the cave was small, Xihe could not sit still. He looked left and right, full of curiosity.

"Brother, what is this painting?"

There were some pictures on the wall that Xihe could not understand. It would be a bit far-fetched to call them pictures. They were more like a special symbol.

Xiao Mingxuan stroked the symbols with his fingers, muttering something in his mouth. He had a guess in his mind, and then walked to a place. The stone under his hand was a little loose. With a light press, the wall behind him collapsed, revealing a passage.

Then, a force came from the dim passage and sucked the two people in. A stone door suddenly descended behind them, cutting off their return passage.

He initially thought that this was a temporary resting place for pickers, but now it seems that it is not that simple. It is probably left there deliberately by someone.

To conceal the entrance to somewhere?

"Little brother, are we going in?" The passage was dark, with only a few weak oil lamps, which was quite eerie. "Little brother, I... I'm a little afraid of the dark."

Xiao Mingxuan pressed the stone door tentatively and shook his head helplessly, "The stone door is locked. There is no turning back. Either go forward or be trapped here to death."

Xiao Mingxuan carried Xihe on his back and walked forward step by step with the faint light of the oil lamp.

"Little brother, please put Xihe down. Xihe can walk by herself." The little girl also had a bell tied to her ankle, which rang with every step. "You are still injured."

Xiao Mingxuan didn't respond. He endured the dull pain in his chest and walked forward slowly. "Nothing. This place is too weird. Maybe there are traps. It's better to carry you on my back."

Xihe did not argue anymore. Instead, she took out a pill from her purse and put it to Xiao Mingxuan's mouth, "Little brother, eat it~"

The light was too dim, and Xiao Mingxuan couldn't see clearly what it was, so he swallowed it with the help of the little girl. He suddenly paused and asked, "Pills?"

"Yes~" Xihe lay on Xiao Mingxuan's back, with her little head on his shoulder, and said cheerfully, "After eating it, the pain won't come to you, little brother."

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes darkened, and he walked forward on his own. When he reached the darkness, his expression was hidden in a black mist. He only said casually: "Xiao Xier, you are a treasure box, you can turn anything into something."

The little girl choked and stuttered as soon as she spoke. She looked around but didn't dare to look at Xiao Mingxuan. "I'm not a treasure box, I'm Xihe~ Tianshuo's most beautiful little princess Xihe!"

Xiao Mingxuan smiled silently and didn't ask any more questions.

It's ok, no cheating.

Fortunately, there was no mechanism, and the two walked for a quarter of an hour before they saw a little light.

"Brother, it's over."

Xiao Mingxuan stopped and looked a little hesitant. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and walked out.
