Chapter 409 An Accident

He Xun could see that Chen Wei’er seemed to be worried. He said, “Follow me.”

Not long after the two of them left, Chen Wei’er suddenly lowered her voice and tugged at He Xun’s sleeve. “Look! There’s a rabbit there!”

He Xun followed the direction of her finger and looked over. As expected, there was a plump rabbit! “Do you want to eat rabbit meat?” He Xun asked in a low voice.

“Rabbits are so cute… Of course, I’m going to eat one!” Chen Wei’er said slowly.

“Shall we roast the meat and eat it then?” He Xun patted her head.

“Yes!” Chen Wei’er rubbed her hands together in anticipation.

The couple quietly approached the rabbit. The rabbit’s ears twitched as if it had sensed danger. Then, the animal pricked up its ears and swiftly run away.

When Chen Wei’er saw this, she became anxious and chased after the rabbit.

He Xun’s physical fitness was excellent, and he was diligent in training. His running speed was not slow either.

Suddenly, the rabbit jumped forward.

Chen Wei’er jumped up without thinking and pounced in the direction of the rabbit… She managed to catch the rabbit in her arms! However, she heard He Xun shout, “Wei’er!”

Only then did Chen Wei’er realize that she had jumped into a small cliff.

And she was still falling!

Everything happened too quickly!

He Xun jumped down and reached for his wife’s clothes. Then, he pulled her into his arms. When his other arm landed next to a tree, he quickly grabbed the trunk.

Thanks to the tree trunk, He Xun and Chen Wei’er didn’t fall.

Chen Wei’er looked down, and her heart beat even faster. If they plummeted to the bottom, they would definitely die! Her voice began to tremble.

“We won’t fall down, will we?”

He Xun consoled his wife, “We won’t. I’m holding onto the tree trunk. Hold on to me tight.”

“Yes!” Chen Wei’er pulled out a hand and hugged He Xun’s neck tightly. Naturally, her legs were not idle either. She even clamped them on He Xun’s body.

“Hold tight!”

“I am,” Chen Wei’er replied.

When He Xun heard her answer, his eyes were still looking at the mountain rock beside him… Soon, he saw a platform that looked like a cave.

“Get ready. I’m going to carry you and jump down.”

He Xun analyzed the situation. Jumping onto the platform was the safest choice. The tree was already showing signs of cracking. However, he was worried that Chen Wei’er would be terrified…

“Alright, do whatever you want,” Chen Wei’er immediately said. This time, the person she trusted the most was He Xun.

In the next second, He Xun released his hand… He jumped down…

Chen Wei’er was frightened by He Xun’s actions. Almost instinctively, she clung to him for dear life. It almost broke He Xun’s neck!

And He Xun’s leap just now was actually a gamble. Fortunately, he won the bet. He carried Chen Wei’er and jumped onto the platform. Due to inertia, the two fell and rolled a few times on the ground.

When Chen Wei’er raised her head from his arms, her face was completely pale. She lowered her head and saw the blood on He Xun’s palm. Her eyes turned red.

“You’re bleeding…”

“It’s alright.” It wasn’t just He Xun’s hand that was injured. When he fell, he was afraid that Chen Wei’er would get hurt, so he used his back to block her. His back was already numb from the pain.

Chen Wei’er could see something amiss with He Xun’s expression. She quickly asked, “Where else are you injured?”

“Let’s see what’s in this cave first.” He Xun forced a smile. As he spoke, he pushed himself to stand up.

The cave entrance was right in front of them. The entrance of the cave was not particularly wide. He pushed aside the weeds and said, “Don’t come in yet.”

“Be careful!” Chen Wei’er nodded. At this moment, she was still holding the rabbit in her arms, but it had already been strangled to death by her. She carefully held it because it would likely be their food for the whole day.

He Xun went into the cave. After confirming that there was no danger, he beckoned, “Come in, we’ll hide here for a while.”

Chen Wei’er was extremely regretful that she had almost lost her life for this rabbit! She even implicated He Xun. She was already prepared for He Xun to scold her. However, He Xun didn’t say anything. He just held her hand and walked in.

This cave was not spacious. It could not be compared to the cave they stayed in previously. However, Chen Wei’er also knew that it was already good enough to have a resting place.

He Xun asked Chen Wei’er to find an area to sit down. Thereafter, he searched the cave for a long time before he found two suitable small stones. He picked up a rock and hammered it crazily. He barely managed to start a fire and roast the rabbit.
