At noon of the next day, the food deliverer lowered some food and water from the round hole with a rope. The sound alarmed the woman lying on Tian Xiao's body. When she opened her eyes, a murderous look flashed across her eyes, and she clenched the dagger tightly again.
Tian Xiao wasn't afraid either, and said softly, "You're awake."
The woman's eyes fell on Yu Yao's face, and only then did she realize how inappropriate their posture was. She coughed twice, turned over and lay on the side. Tian Xiao was crushed all night, his whole body was sore and numb, but he sat up without saying a word, took the food delivered and started to eat, just like usual.
After he had filled his stomach, he found the woman lying on the ground looking at him intently. Tian Xiao thought for a while and thought that she must be hungry too, but she couldn't move. He brought her portion of the meal over, and without saying a word, he put the dish near her mouth, intending to feed her.
The woman was startled, but she didn't refuse his kindness. She opened her mouth and ate the food, feeding the other without saying a word. The scene was harmonious. After the food was finished, the woman didn't thank , Tian Xiao looked at the empty bowl in a daze for a while, and then burst out laughing, he seemed to have not smiled for a long time, his smile was a little stiff and trembling, but the look in his eyes stunned the woman.
"What are you laughing at?"
Tian Xiao didn't answer her question, instead, he stretched out his fingertips and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, as if he was taking this opportunity to caress her lips. She touched his hand, and just this action made the blood in her chest surge, and she gasped for a long time before saying: "Don't touch me."
The back of his hand was red and swollen from the woman's beating, but Tian Xiao smiled as if he couldn't feel the pain: "You can move." The woman frowned, and heard him say, "You can move."
For countless days and nights, everything here was so dead silent. At first he would feel terrified, but after numbness, the dead silence here seemed to take root in his body, making him also silent, not moving. Not to speak, to live, but forget why to live. But seeing her now, it seems like God is proving to him that he is still alive and can leave traces in other people's lives, even if it is insignificant.
"What's your name?" Tian Xiao asked softly, not caring at all that this man hit him just now.
The woman closed her eyes and avoided his question indifferently.
Tianxiao was not angry either, and sat with his legs crossed beside him, staring at him closely, the undulating chest made him itchy and wanted to touch it, but the pain on the back of his hand was thrown, and he didn't dare to rashly touch it. After making a move, he opened his mouth and said, "How did you get hurt?"
There was no response, but Tian Xiao seemed to be opened up, and after a while, he spit out a question: "Where are you from?", "Why are you locked up here?", "Is your wound okay?" one after another. , Asked straight so that the woman opened her eyes and stared at him viciously.
Tian Xiao looked straight at him without fear, eyes shining brightly. An inexplicable sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of the woman's heart: "Shut up."
Knowing that women don't like to listen to him, Yuyao's eyes dimmed slightly, but seeing the open wound on his shoulder because of waving his arm just now, he moved his fingers, moved over quietly, and carefully held the corner of her sleeve, saying : "Your wound is bleeding."
The pale fingers formed a stark contrast with her dark clothes, the woman sat up unbearably, she moved so fast that Tian Xiao immediately withdrew her fingers and folded her hands, as if afraid that she would hit him again.
The woman stared at him for a while, then stood up with difficulty, went to the corner and sat down against the wall. She seemed to have erected a wall of indifference around herself, refusing anyone to approach her. Tian Xiao, who was left behind, was stunned for a while, then slowly walked in front of the woman, sitting with her legs crossed and staring at him.
The breathing sounds of the two intersected in the dark prison, Tian Xiao curled the corners of his mouth again, and after a while he laughed idiotically.
"What do you want to do?" The woman couldn't bear it.
"May I have your name?"
"Yu Yao."
"Yu Yao, you are bleeding."
The blue veins on Yu Yao's forehead protruded: "I know."
Tianxiao's fingers twisted together unconsciously: "I can help you stop the bleeding. I know how to heal people."
The prince of the previous dynasty was locked up in such a place, so he still has medical skills? Yu Yao couldn't help being a little surprised by this knowledge, but she didn't ask any more questions. To her, the prince's experience has nothing to do with her. She just needs to live and do what she wants to do. .
