Chapter 1259: Chapter 1258: I Have a Friend Who Looks Like You

Fu Xuan Ge couldn’t quite recall it for the moment, but in his heart he was sure he’d seen it somewhere before; it seemed to be some kind of ancient technique that had long since been lost.

After feeding Jing Yuansi the talismanic water, she fell into a deep sleep. By this time the grass mat was pretty much baked through, so the three of them carried Jing Yuansi over onto it, then sat to the side to rest and dry their clothes.

The temperature in the cave was already very high; even with their upper bodies bare, the three of them didn’t feel cold, and without realizing it they drifted off to sleep as well.

They really lacked experience—four children and not one of them stayed up to keep watch; they all slept through. Luckily there weren’t any wild beasts or ill‑intentioned people around here, otherwise the four of them would’ve been done for in one go.

The three of them—Luo Yirui and the others—slept straight through until the sun was high in the sky. It had rained half the night before, but now the sky was clear and the weather especially good, enough to lift one’s mood.

There was only a small patch of tree roots left, still faintly warm. The three of them put their clothes back on, and Luo Yirui walked over to Jing Yuansi. Seeing that her complexion had returned to normal and the fever was gone, he finally let out a breath of relief.

After a sleep, all three of them felt refreshed and clear‑headed. Now they planned to wait until Jing Yuansi woke up before continuing on their way.

After about an hour or so, Jing Yuansi slowly woke up; it was the smell of food that lured her back to consciousness.

Opening her eyes and sitting up, Jing Yuansi looked around in a daze, then turned to the three boys sitting by the fire, and was startled to find that she actually knew all of them.

"You’re awake? Come over and eat something. We’ll be on the road again in a bit," Luo Yirui said.

Jing Yuansi felt like she was probably dreaming. She’d clearly run off alone into the wilds—so why were the three of them here?

Little Fatty looked at Jing Yuansi pinching her own thigh with a "are you an idiot" expression on his face and said, "Quit pinching, you’re not dreaming. Hurry up and come eat."

The pain brought tears to Jing Yuansi’s eyes, but she was delighted. She quickly came over to the fire and saw that they were roasting sparrows.

"How did you catch them?" Jing Yuansi asked in surprise.

Little Fatty stuck out two chubby fingers, flicked them outward, and said, "With my Finger‑Flicking Divine Skill, of course!"

Fu Xuan Ge rolled his eyes at him. Childish.

They’d actually smoked the birds down using herbs—and that wasn’t their only method. In short, the process had been a whole lot of chaos.

Jing Yuansi ate three sparrows. She wasn’t full yet, but she wasn’t hungry anymore. The others had almost finished eating as well, so they got ready to set off.

They still needed to hurry and try to get out of this mountain before dark.

The four of them stepped onto the road together. Thanks to yesterday’s good rest, the four of them were chirping away the whole way, full of energy.

By a small river, Luo Yirui glanced at Fu Xuan Ge and Little Fatty, who were in the water catching fish, and said, "Jing Yuansi, do you have any siblings?"

Jing Yuansi’s hands paused as she set up the grill, then she said softly, "I probably don’t anymore. Why ask?"

Luo Yirui was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it and said, "I have a friend who looks a lot like you, and his family name is Jing too. I originally thought you two knew each other, but it seems I was wrong."

Jing Yuansi’s hand trembled. She looked up and asked, "Looks like me? How much like? How old is he?"

She fired off three questions in a row, and hope surged up in Luo Yirui’s heart. Those weren’t questions you’d ask casually.

"About the same age as me."

Jing Yuansi stared at him blankly. "Then... how much does he look like me?"
