Chapter Forty-Eight: The Stomach Wrap
They had been here for about ten days, and Mu Yan really had a small hollow awl in his baggage, which was used for them to get the sap from the bark. Two days ago, Su Jue finally found this kind of tree, its trunk was thick and sapy, although there were only two of them, it was enough to meet their drinking needs. So the trickiest thing for them at the moment is not water, but food. As mentioned in the booklet,
Most of the plants and trees in this forest are highly poisonous, and except for wolves, which are patches of poisonous insects, these things can never satisfy hunger. They had not eaten for four days, and if they continued like this, they would have to starve to death.
Yue Qianlong collapsed to the ground, she regretted not riding in on horseback, so that she could have horse meat to eat. Suddenly, she smelled the smell of meat, and Yue Qianlong sat up violently, and a bonfire rose nearby, and something was burning on the fire.
It's really meat! Yue Qianlong's stomach 'gurgled', and she didn't know where the strength came from made her jump in front of the fire. At this time, Su Jue was sitting on the side, silent with a cold face.
"This ...... What is this?"
"A beast that I just hit. ”
Beasts?Since the wolves, Yue Qianlong hadn't seen a living thing in Canglang Plain, and Su Jue was really supernatural, and he brought this thing back when he went to pick up some firewood and grass.
"What kind of beast is this?, why is it so small?" Suddenly remembering the booklet, Yue Qianlong asked again: "Can this meat be eaten? Will it be poisonous as the booklet says?"
"Would you rather be poisoned or starved to death?"
It seems that Su Jue has no choice, and he can only drink to quench his thirst when he arrives here.
It was almost baked, and Su Jue was about to climb as soon as he lifted the wooden fork.
"Wait, it's hot. ”
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, it's too late to be burned to make me happy!"
Thanks to Mu Yan being really careful, he also prepared a small bag of fine salt for them, and after sprinkling the salt flowers, Yue Qianlong took a big bite, and the meat was grilled just right, and the sudden deliciousness aroused Yue Qianlong's tears.
"Ah Jue gives you this," Yue Qianlong handed over the remaining half, "I'm full, you can eat." ”
I don't have a lot of things, so I can be full?
"No, I don't. ”
"Jue, you haven't eaten for a few days like me, why don't you use it?"
"I'm not hungry. Su Jue obviously has a sallow complexion, and his jaw has lost several laps in just a few days, how can he not be hungry?
"Eat quickly, I eat a small amount, these are really enough. ”
"Don't think about it, I'm not trying to make you. ”
It's really a stubborn temper, Yue Qianlong leaned over, and just wanted to stuff it into his mouth, but this person blocked him.
Su Jue looked angry and said, "Yue Qianlong, what are you going to do, don't you understand what I say?"
"What's wrong with you?" Yue Qianlong thought for a while, and hurriedly explained: "Ah Jue, are you afraid that this thing is not safe?" But seeing that I am alive and kicking now, I think there should be no poison in the meat, you can eat a little more." ”
"Take it away. ”
"Jue ......"
"I'll let you take it away!" Su Jue's eyes were red, as if he was going to kill someone in the next second.
Yue Qianlong was stunned, so he had to shrink into the corner first.
The current Su Jue is moody, so that Yue Qianlong can't find a pattern at all, and Su Jue is so caught off guard every time he drinks a stick. And Su Jue's care for herself is completely because of her character, that person is extremely resistant to herself in her heart, perhaps because she is related to his past, Su Jue will have insoluble resistance to her. Looking at the dimming sunshine in the sky, Yue Qianlong also tasted a trace of sourness, she felt lost and disappointed, but these were all for herself, Yue Qianlong only thought that it would be good if she had been by Su Jue's side in Taihua Mountain at that time.
Yue Qianlong swallowed the leftover food one by one, she walked to Su Jue's side and explained, "You can rest first, I'll go nearby and see if there is any food." ”
"It's getting dark, how can you find food?"
"Can't you find me?"
"Are you trying to compare yourself to me?"
Yue Qianlong said angrily: "I didn't think so, I just didn't want to see you starved to death, anyway, you won't touch anything I've eaten again, right?" Don't worry, I'll find food and come back, and I won't touch it at all, and you won't have to mess with yourself because of your disgust with me. ”
Su Jue stared at her for a long time, and didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words at all, until Yue Qianlong turned around and he said, 'Stop'.
"Why do you want to go against me?
"Su Jue, it's you who can't be understood now!"
Su Jue looked away and paused word by word, "Go back and sit down." ”
"I ......"
"I'm sleepy and want to rest, you give me the wind tonight. ”
Hearing this, Yue Qianlong softened, and she didn't worry about letting Su Jue stay alone after nightfall.
This night, Su Jue slept very deeply by the campfire, Yue Qianlong quietly leaned over and picked up this person's pulse, Su Jue's pulse seemed to be a little weak, but it was no big deal. Yue Qianlong was relieved at this time, and after hesitating for a while, he carefully lay down beside this person. She closed her eyes and sniffed, there was still a faint smell of Ai Xiao around this person, and the smell was reassuring.
"Ah Jue, Ah Jue?" Seeing that this person didn't respond, Yue Qianlong simply wrapped her arms around this person, she shrunk her body together, wanting to have as much contact with this person as possible, looking at Su Jue's quiet sleeping face, Yue Qianlong quipped: "If you know, you will definitely say that I don't know how to be polite and don't know how to respect myself." ”
Although Canglang was originally a bad place with no water and no food, the starry night was extremely beautiful, and the stars in the sky were the same as the city of Qihuang. Yue Qianlong looked at it all night with a clear mind, and he didn't feel sleepy until the sky was clear. The strange thing is that after waking up, she smelled the smell of meat again, and Su Jue was still sitting by the bonfire, handing her the cooked meat about the same size yesterday.
"You're hunting again?"
"Hmm. "How did you get it? I didn't see a single living thing, did you find the wolves?"
But it doesn't taste like wolf meat at all.
"Eat it. ”
Su Jue's face was not good, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.
Yue Qianlong said: "Okay, since you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either." ”
Su Jue didn't seem to want to entangle with Yue Qianlong anymore, so he took out a dagger and split the piece of meat in half.
"Can you eat it now?"
"Of course, how can you let Ah Jue's efforts be in vain?" Yue Qianlong finished eating three or two bites, but Su Jue still didn't move.
Is there really something wrong with this food? Under Yue Qianlong's puzzled gaze, Su Jue brought it to his mouth, but after chewing a few times, his face immediately changed, and he leaned over and began to retch. In the past few days, Su Jue has not eaten a drop of rice, and he can't spit out anything at all except bitter water.
"Hey," Yue Qian patted him on the back and said with concern, "Ah Jue, how are you?"
"Ahem, you, go away......"
"Oh, I...... I'll get you some water first, you wait. ”
After a while, Su Jue calmed down, but his eyes were dilated, as if he was in a dream.
"Ah Jue, are you injured somewhere? Let me take a look first. ”
"Nope. ”
"I also learned medicine in Taihua Mountain, and I can treat skin injuries. ”
"No, I don't. ”
"Ahh ”
"I said no, don't use it!" Ignoring this person, Su Jue said directly: "We have to leave as soon as possible, although there is no water but no food here, it will be difficult for us to survive here for two more days." ”
"However, the booklet doesn't say where to find food, it's strange. ”
"Go get some water and prepare it, and we'll go back the way we came." ”
"But we've been here for less than two months. ”
Su Jue smiled coldly, "Do you think that someone will come and let us out in two months?Canglang Yuan is so big, we haven't left a mark all the way, even if it lasts for two months? Don't you remember? King Ning said that Canglang Yuan is a dead land, although winning can get great honor, but for thousands of years, few people have been able to go out. I think we got Xiao Qiyu wrong at the beginning, he didn't want us to stay in Canglang Plain for two months, but gave us two months to find a way out of Canglang Plain. ”
Su Jue is right, the area here is small, and people can't tell the time and direction, even if they want to return the same way, they may not be sure.
As soon as they left the camp, the sun became bigger, and the vegetation under their feet was sparse, and although there was no yellow sand to be seen, it felt like they had suddenly arrived in the desert. This time Su Jue didn't go ahead, Yue Qianlong felt that Su Jue was very weak with the belt tied to the wrists of the two of them, as if every step was extremely difficult, but that person was very strong, and he didn't let himself go up to help him.
"Ah Jue-" The man fell down before he had left for half an hour, "Ah Jue, how are you?"
Su Jue tried to open his eyes, but his consciousness was already a little confused. No, if he wasn't injured, he must have been poisoned. Yue Qianlong took it under the tree, untied Su Jue's clothes and carefully examined it, except for the old scars, there were no new wounds on the person's upper body.
"How...... How could this be? How did you get hurt?"
"You, leave it alone. ”
Su Jue had two bowl-sized wounds at the base of his thighs, the wound on his left leg had begun to fester, and his right leg seemed to have just been injured. Yue Qianlong pulled out the dagger on the man's waist, and after comparing it, he suddenly realized. It turned out that the beasts she ate were not hunted beasts at all, but were cut alive by Su Jue from her legs.
"Su Jue, why are you so self-righteous, who made you do this!"
Su Jue didn't respond again, he was already unconscious, looking at this terrifying wound, Yue Qianlong couldn't shed tears, Su Jue himself had already applied wound medicine to the injury, but what Mu Yanzhen gave could only be used as an ordinary hemostasis and stasis, which was useless to Su Jue at the moment.
"Forget it, don't worry, I will definitely find the exit, and I will definitely take you out safely. Yue Qianlong said as he picked up the man and walked forward according to his memory.
But after these days of torture, she really didn't have much strength, and after only walking a hundred steps, her legs were like lead pouring her strength.
No, this won't work!
Northern Regions, at the foot of Taihua Mountain.
It's not good, Su Jue was in danger in Canglang, and his injuries didn't heal in time. In Su Ling's palm was the talisman bird that she sent to Su Jue's side, she couldn't imagine that Su Jue at this time would not hesitate to cut the flesh to save Yue Qianlong's life. As soon as Su Lingxi closed her palm, a living bird was shattered in her palm, and in the blink of an eye, the little guy gathered and chirped at Su Lingxi.
It seems that she has to go to this Canglang Plain.
