Chapter 654 Twisting feet
Nier's heart suddenly tightened and her face turned pale in an instant.
Her eyes widened and she looked around nervously, trying to find the source of the sound.
However, there was nothing to be seen around except dense woods and grass.
Prince Li obviously also sensed the approaching danger. He quickly grabbed Ni'er's arm and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, let's go!"
The sky gradually darkened and the surrounding environment became blurry.
The grass here is extremely lush, taller than people's knees, making it impossible to see the road under your feet.
Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard.
"Ah~um~"
It turned out that Ni'er accidentally stepped on empty air, lost her balance, and fell straight down.
"Young shopkeeper, Miss Xiaoni!" Prince Li called out anxiously in a low voice, but received no response.
He became more and more anxious, wondering if Ni'er was injured.
However, before he could think about it, a whizzing sound of arrows came from behind him.
Prince Li had no time to hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and jumped down without hesitation.
His body was falling rapidly, and Prince Li could only feel the whistling of wind in his ears, as if the whole world was spinning rapidly.
He finally rolled on the ground several times before he managed to stop.
At this time, the sound of the arrow had become very weak and almost inaudible.
Prince Li stood up quickly and observed his surroundings vigilantly.
"This place seems to be relatively hidden. It shouldn't be easy for the Fourth Prince's men to find it." Prince Li thought to himself.
However, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a slight warning coming from not far away.
Prince Li's heart tightened, and he immediately walked quickly in the direction of the sound.
Sure enough, he found Nier behind a rock.
"How are you? Where are you injured?" Prince Li asked anxiously. He didn't dare to move Ni'er's body for fear that her injuries would become more serious.
Nier's consciousness gradually returned to normal. She frowned and said painfully, "My foot seems to have been twisted. I can't walk at all."
Prince Li quickly squatted down and carefully reached out to touch Ni'er's ankle.
"Bear with it," he said softly.
It happened so quickly that Prince Li suddenly twisted it with force. There was a "click" sound, followed by Ni'er's whimpering in pain.
However, surprisingly, Nier's feet stopped hurting immediately.
She tried to move her ankle and was surprised to find that it moved freely.
"I didn't expect the prince to have such skills!" Ni'er showed a happy smile on her face.
Prince Li couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard Ni'er's praise, but his tone remained calm and steady, "Leading troops to fight, this is the most basic."
However, before he could finish his words, a loud thunder suddenly sounded above his head.
The sudden loud noise startled Prince Li and Ni'er.
Ni'er looked up and saw Prince Li's figure appearing and disappearing in the lightning.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly shouted, "Prince, let's find a place to hide!"
The prince said thoughtfully, "I remember there is a cave nearby."
Prince Li looked around, his eyes wandering between the dense grass and rugged rocks, trying to recall the exact location of the cave.
He held Ni'er's arm and groped carefully in this unfamiliar place, moving step by step towards the vague direction in his mind.
Ni'er followed Prince Li closely, her eyes searching everywhere.
Suddenly, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark cave entrance, vaguely hidden behind a huge rock.
She was delighted and quickly pointed in that direction, asking uncertainly, "My Lord, is it there?"
Prince Li looked in the direction of Ni'er's finger, examined it carefully for a moment, and then nodded affirmatively: "That's it."
However, just as they confirmed the location of the cave, heavy rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.
The rain poured down like a torrential downpour, drenching the two of them instantly.
The raindrops hit the ground, splashing mud and water everywhere, and soon dyed the shoes and pants of both men black.
But they no longer cared about these things because the rain was too heavy and the weather was getting colder.
The two quickened their pace and hurried towards the cave.
After finally rushing into the cave, it was pitch black inside and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Prince Li fumbled in his bosom and took out a tinder, and blew it gently, and the tinder immediately ignited a faint flame.
Although the bean-sized light was weak, it seemed particularly bright in the darkness, making the two feel a little relieved.
With the help of this little light, Prince Li quickly found some dry straw and wood chips in the cave, and then set them on fire.
Flames suddenly rose up, illuminating the entire cave.
The two of them quickly sat around the fire, feeling the warmth.
Nier's body was trembling slightly, not only because of the cold, but also because of some strange sounds she heard in the dark.
The sound seemed to come from outside the cave, like someone whimpering softly, or like the whimpering sound of the wind blowing through the cave entrance.
Her heart beat faster involuntarily, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart.
She hugged her arms tightly and said to Prince Li with a slightly trembling voice, "Prince Li, did you...did you hear any sound?"
Prince Li listened attentively for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything."
His eyes fell on Nier, and he saw that she was hugging her arms tightly, and seemed a little cold.
So he picked up a branch, put it into the fire and stirred it to make the fire burn more vigorously.
However, Nier felt that the sound seemed to penetrate into her ears bit by bit, and became clearer and clearer, as if someone was really crying.
Prince Li noticed that Ni'er looked a little strange, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Did you hear any noise?"
Ni'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I seem to hear someone crying..."
When Prince Li heard this, his expression changed slightly. He listened carefully and indeed heard a faint cry.
"I heard it too." Prince Li frowned. "How could someone be crying in this wilderness? How about I go and take a look? You stay here and watch the fire. Don't let it go out."
Ni'er knew that the prince didn't want her to get wet in the rain, so he deliberately made an excuse.
However, she really didn't want to stay in this cave alone.
"I'll go with you to look for it."
Nier said quickly, "I'm not afraid of the rain."
