Chapter 83: Encounter with a wolf

One moment my body was cold as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and the next it was hot as being in a steamer, and I fell asleep groggily and had a strange dream. I dreamed that I was stung by a scorpion, and then, I don't know who it was, helped me kill the scorpion, peeled off its belly, and applied the scorpion eggs in its stomach to my wound, and the poison was cleared. But this scene was seen by another scorpion, so a swarm of scorpions came out of nowhere and rushed towards us in dense numbers, and we were so frightened that we ran all the way to a mountain pool. The water looked quiet and cold on the surface, but as soon as we entered the water, we realized that it was a boiling hot spring. Immediately, there was a steaming hot air, which also frightened a group of scorpions.

I was sweating hot, my mouth was thirsty, the man was soaking in the hot spring with me, I couldn't see his face clearly, the heat of the hot spring blurred my vision, I reached out and stroked his face, trying to make out what he looked like, but I couldn't make out how I could not. I was so anxious that I couldn't think about it, my lips suddenly felt a little cool, as if someone was whispering my name in my ear, I suddenly woke up and saw An Yuanxi, who had an anxious face, gently wiping my chapped lips with a piece of wet cloth. When he saw me wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was happy: "Miss Ye, what do you think?" ”

The day was already light, the fire was out, and the morning air was as fresh as dewdrops. I looked at An Yuanxi's puffy face with two panda eyes, and was stunned: "Didn't you sleep all night?" ”

He was wearing only his undergarment, which, together with my robe, was covered with a woollen rug that wrapped around me. The wet cloth in his hand continued to wipe the sweat on my forehead: "You have a fever all night, I'm afraid something will happen to you." "So, in addition to drying my clothes this night, he just cooled me down? When I fell asleep, I felt so cold, why did I have a fever again? I moved, my body was limp, and I reached out and touched my forehead, and it was really hot. An Yuanxi retracted his hand to wipe my sweat for me, don't look away, I looked at the blush on his face suspiciously, and suddenly saw my arm, my body under the blanket was not yet an inch. This idiot, I laughed, but I just looked at my bare arms and it was awkward like this, a woman in my time and space, dare to wear suspender hot pants on the street in summer, if An Yuanxi accidentally wore it to the era of my previous life, I don't know what it would look like. Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing: "An Yuanxi, I want to wear clothes, you are not allowed to peek." ”

His face turned red as a drunken shrimp, and he stood up awkwardly, avoiding my gaze, and standing where I couldn't see him. I propped myself up, dizzy, almost limp, gritted my teeth, barely got dressed, and found that the worn-out wool blanket had been soaked with sweat from my body.

I called An Yuanxi over and handed him his robe, thinking that he had been frozen in the open air all night in his underwear, I was really moved. He clumsily put on his palace maid's suit, which was so funny on him that I couldn't help laughing again. When he heard my laughter, his already white face turned red again, and he turned his head and stood far away from me to tie his belt.

I picked up the two flints in the wooden shed and put them in my coat pocket, this thing can be used on the road, and rummaged in the shed, there is really nothing to take away, I rolled up the broken blanket, An Yuanxi got dressed and walked over: "Do you want to take this away?" ”

"What if you can use it on the road, what if you have to sleep in the open at night?" I held the blanket and tried to stand up, my feet were soft for a while, my whole body was sore and painful, and my legs couldn't use any strength, An Yuanxi hurriedly supported me, frowned and said, "You are like this, can you still walk?" ”

"If you can't go, you have to go, in case those bastards know that we're not dead, it's bad." I struggled to my feet and took limp steps, the muscles of my thighs and calves aching excruciatingly. An Yuanxi took the blanket roll in my hand, staggered two steps, suddenly stopped, shook off the blanket, and draped it over me. I looked at him in surprise: "Why are you ......" Before he finished speaking, he had already squatted in front of me: "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

I looked at him in amazement, he shouldn't be much better than me, right? I managed to get some sleep, but he didn't sleep all night. Looking at him hesitantly, I hesitated, "Aren't you tired?" You can't do it......"

"Stop talking nonsense, come up." He interrupted me, "Don't you want to leave this place sooner?" ”

He had never spoken to me in such a strong tone, and I froze, pulled the woolen blanket from my body, and leaned over his back. He swayed as he stood up, raised me a little higher, and walked forward with his back on my back. I grabbed the blanket and hugged his neck, only to find that An Yuanxi's shoulders were very wide and his back was very strong, I always thought he was slender and weak, it seems that his scholarly appearance deceived many people's eyes.

Leaning against his broad back, I drooped my head behind his neck in a groggy manner, his skin was so cold, I greedily pressed my burning face to the cold skin, his body stiffened slightly, the burning snort sprinkled on his neck, I felt his skin become soft, warm, and moist, his tight skin slowly relaxed, I closed my eyes with peace of mind, and fell into a coma again.

Consciousness ups and downs, I don't know whether I am awake or dreaming, half-dreaming and half-awake, I intermittently connected to last night's dream, the man who used scorpion eggs to help me detoxify, turned out to be the second son of what castle, it is said that the castle is very powerful, so this son can also be regarded as a powerful figure. He didn't know why, but he loved me so much that he was determined to marry me. I didn't know if I loved him or not. In my dream, I had an unbearable life experience, and marrying him was considered a high climb, because he wanted to marry me, and it seemed that he would have to fight against the court. Regarding our marriage, at first his brother, the eldest prince in the castle, did not agree, but the second son's attitude was very fierce and tough, and he persuaded him with the eldest prince's own feelings. The second son said that he would build a Fengying Building for me to live in, and he couldn't make me feel wronged. But when everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, I did not agree to marry him, not only could my parents not persuade me, but I didn't even want to see the second son, who escaped from the castle.

I hid in a tree, up and down the tree, but I had to take the elevator. I didn't know how to go up at first, but that's when I met a man who said he could take me up. Strangely, he was obviously the second son, but I went up with him very happily in my dreams as if I had never seen him before. He didn't seem to be surprised by my amnesia, but was bent on how to get me back to him again, and after taking me up the tree, he kissed me and made love to me. I hugged him tightly, not in pain, but bleeding profusely. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I thought strangely when I was in love, is this right? The first time it should have been with the second son, right? But I immediately thought, who is it different? Anyway, it all ends up the same way.

The body seemed to shake, I opened my eyes in a daze, An Yuanxi stopped, there was a small river in front of me, there were lush reeds growing by the river, he squatted down and put me on the ground, I looked at him in a daze: "What's wrong?" ”

"Rest here for a while." An Yuanxi's face was a little red, probably because he didn't have the strength, "I'll go drink some water." ”

When I came back to my senses, I remembered that we had not eaten at all since last night, that he was probably too hungry, that I had a fever and that I had forgotten about eating, and now that I think about it, I immediately feel that my stomach is beginning to make a revolution. I licked my lips and looked at the vast grassland, where are we going to find food? Even if we meet herders, we don't have money to buy food, and if we don't drown in the lake, we will starve to death on the grassland.

My head is dizzy, my stomach is hungry, I have never been so embarrassed in my life, there are some little stars jumping around in front of me, I just fainted, I didn't feel anything when I fainted, I didn't have the ambition to think. An Yuanxi suddenly ran out of the reeds with his robe in his hands: "Miss Ye, you see what I found......"

He ran up to me and crouched down, and there were a dozen white and oblong duck eggs on his robe, one of which had been broken, and the eggshell was cracked, and golden juice seeped out of the cracks in the eggshell. My eyes were straight, and I immediately grabbed the broken egg, broke the shell, and poured the egg juice that had been mixed with the egg white and yolk into my mouth. Licking the egg juice flowing on my hands, I raised my eyes and saw An Yuanxi looking at me stupidly, and suddenly came to my senses, and my face suddenly became a little hot, "I ......"

He didn't say anything, and quickly handed another one to me, and I took it awkwardly and said stupidly, "Don't you eat it?" ”

He smiled: "I'll go find some firewood and roast them." ”

I laughed out loud: "Where can eggs be roasted over fire, they will be fried, do you want to eat eggshells?" "This nerd has no common sense in life.

"Will it blow up?" He looked at the duck eggs in his robe in embarrassment, "But ......"

I looked at his embarrassed expression and speculated, "You don't dare to eat raw, do you?" ”

His face was red, he didn't admit or deny it, I broke the wild duck egg in my hand, broke it and poured the egg juice into my mouth, swallowed it with a "bone lu", licked my lips and said, "Just treat it as if I was drinking medicine, pinch my nose and swallow it in one gulp." "It seems that my duck has become a donkey mentally.

He frowned, drank a duck egg as I did, swallowed it with great difficulty, and coughed a few times with a strange expression. I laughed, "Isn't it that hard to swallow?" One more. ”

Each person swallowed four wild duck eggs, and the rest was wrapped in a torn blanket, and today's food was settled. An Yuanxi carried me on his back and continued to walk forward, I filled my stomach, I felt that my head was not so heavy, I lay on his back, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, An Yuanxi, how could you break the rope?" Urena's bastard tied so tightly. ”

"It was His Royal Highness the Prince who saved us." An Yuanxi said in a low voice: "His way of tying the rope is very special, it looks very tight, but in fact, when he flips his wrist out, the rope comes out." Do you remember what His Royal Highness said in my ear before His Royal Highness tied me, and he just told me to turn my wrist over after entering the water. I didn't quite understand what it meant, but when I got into the water, I remembered what he said, and as soon as I did so, the rope came off. ”

It turned out that Ouray had done the tricks. I snorted coldly, "Did he think I would thank him for doing this?" If we have made hands and feet on the rope, will we be able to save ourselves? What if both of us don't know the surname Shui? It's not the same as dying if you untie the rope, that dead sand pig ......"

"Sand pigs?" An Yuanxi said in surprise in front. I paused and said angrily, "I mean that guy is a self-righteous stinky thing anyway." ”

An Yuanxi laughed lowly, and I fell on his back in frustration, and I had nothing to say for a while. After walking on the grassland for a day, fearing that our whereabouts would be discovered, we deliberately avoided the herdsmen who were grazing their cattle, and when we saw a flock of sheep in front of us from a distance, we avoided it and tried not to make contact with the people of Yaoyue Country. When it was dark, we found a small leeward hill with some sea buckthorn forests on the slope, and An Yuanxi and I decided to rest here.

A fire was lit and we gathered in front of the fire to keep warm. After eating a few more duck eggs, I saw An Yuanxi drooping his eyelids tiredly, and knew that he must be extremely sleepy. I carefully put the remaining duck eggs aside, pulled away the broken blanket, spread it on the ground, and said, "Sleep with a blanket tonight, I'll watch the fire." ”

"Well, you're still sick, you need to rest." An Yuanxi opened his eyes and flatly refused. I glared at him: "You didn't sleep much last night, and if you continue like this, the people who are beaten by iron can't stand it, what if both of you are sick?" Besides, I'm much better now. ”

"Nope." He shook his head, still refusing. I glared at the ground angrily, thought about it, grabbed the blanket, walked to him and sat down next to him, An Yuanxi looked at me in a daze: "Miss Ye......" I wrapped the blanket on the two of us, and then said: "Those two people are one and a half, I should have nothing to say." ”

"Whew...... Woo......"

He opened his mouth to speak, and suddenly there was a long and terrible wolf howl in the distance, and the sound of "woo" had just ended, and the second sound was followed by "whoo...... ......"I was taken aback, is there a wolf here?" The wheezing of some kind of beast seemed to be heard in the darkness, and a few bits of green light flashed away. An Yuanxi and I were both nervous, I grabbed the wool blanket on my body, and said in a trembling voice: "Burn the fire harder, the beast doesn't dare to approach the fire." ”

We refueled the fire, but there was no more sleep, and fear took hold of us. What should I do if I do encounter a wolf? An Yuanxi and I couldn't have dealt with the most ferocious animal on the grassland. In the distance, two dots of green light, flickering faintly, moved towards us, and the beast's wheezing became heavier, so clear that it seemed to ring in our ears. My hairs stood on end, the two points of green light moved closer, the firelight reflected the shape of an animal, and a big gray wolf with black hair all over his body was moving silently, standing not far away and watching us, his back hair standing up, his eyes shining with vigilance, as if ready to pounce on us at any moment.
