077 Coveted
What now?
Cui Ling looked helplessly at the bearded man with a flushed face due to high heat, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.
Although she has not studied medicine, she still has the common sense she should have after two lifetimes.
The bearded man now has a high fever and is still in a state of fainting, either because of excessive blood loss, or the wound is infected.
In a previous life, this situation might have been solved with just a fever-reducing needle and a little antibiotic.
But this is a strange era that is very far away from modern civilization, and the slightest illness can cost people their lives.
What's more, they are not in Shengjing now, nor in Muzhou City, but in the wilderness and mountains.
There was no medical care, no food and water, not even a quilt to keep the bed warm......
For a man of great health, this situation can be regarded as a test, let alone a sick and wounded person who has fainted?
Cui Ling felt that it was not enough to just sit like this.
This man needs to be treated now, otherwise his life is in danger at any time.
He gave his life to save her, she couldn't watch him die, no matter what, she had to do something for him.
She thought for a moment and pulled out her calf with all her strength, then moved the bearded man's body to the more comfortable straw beside her.
Her legs were still weak.
But she leaned to the mountain wall, staggered to the entrance of the grotto, and looked out.
It was already bright and it was early in the morning.
As far as the eye can see, a thick mountain snow, white and boundless, with no end in sight.
Look at the terrain and environment. They should still be in the mountains at the moment. But the snowy forests obscured the view. She couldn't tell the exact location for a while.
Cui Ling wanted to go out again to see what was going on outside, but there was a faint and painful murmur from the bearded man in the back room.
She quickly paused, took out a white handkerchief from her bosom, and spread it flat on the snow.
Peel off the first layer of snow, take only the second layer that is relatively clean, hold them on a handkerchief, wrap them up, and return to the grotto.
She had to clean the bearded man's wounds first.
When the blood on his arms was cleared, she tore off the hem of her undergarment. Tightly tied his left arm to stop the bleeding.
Her level of bandaging the wound was very amateurish, and it could be called crooked, but fortunately, the strength was enough, except for a trace of red stains on the white satin, there was no murmuring blood later.
This is the first thing to stop the bleeding.
The next step is to reduce the fever.
In the absence of medical treatment, Cui Ling can only think of two physical cooling methods: ice compress and body wiping.
Ice is easy to do, this is a snowy mountain, just hold the snow with a handkerchief like you did just now.
Wipe yourself down and ......
Cui Ling glanced at the bearded man's painful expression, and he still couldn't bear it in his heart.
That's it. Now the situation is critical, and it can be counted as a line of life and death. She is not a native of the Sheng Dynasty, and she regards the defense of men and women as more important than her life, so why do she have to be hypocritical?
Besides, it's not a man's body, and she's not never seen it before, shy of wool.
Cui Ling thought so, and refused to delay for a moment.
She walked outside with the help of the stone wall, thought about it, and simply took off the cloak on her body and spread it on the ground.
A cold mountain wind blew, like a blade cutting her face and cold, so cold that her body trembled.
She shrunk her shoulders and gritted her teeth as she put a large handful of snow onto her cloak.
The cloak has a large area, and it contains more snow, so if you load a little more, you can eat two ice winds less.
She is also uncomfortable, if she freezes down again, and the bearded man is unconscious, then the survival rate will be greatly reduced.
She finally escaped, so she didn't want to die.
Cui Ling returned to the grotto, unceremoniously took off the bearded man's shirt, wrapped Bai Xue in a handkerchief and wiped it carefully on his upper body.
At the beginning, she could still be distracted and calm.
But after a while, she was ashamed to find that she had lost her mind......
It's not that she doesn't have a noble heart to save people, it's really that this man's figure is so good, so good that her heart, which has not been touched for fifteen years, suddenly caused a ripple.
If she hadn't taken care of her status as a married woman, she would have been unable to control herself from taking advantage of the bearded man's danger.
The bearded man's upper body has fallen off at this moment, revealing his resolute chin, melodious neck, and perfect upper body curves.
It's not the kind of muscular guy who is intimidating, and it's not a bamboo pole with no meat at all.
The skin on his body is a pale wheat color, and the muscles of his upper body are delicate, and the lines are graceful and smooth, so beautiful that you can see the urge to touch and take a bite.
Just when Cui Ling couldn't help but stretch out her claws to the bearded man, reason pulled her back.
She shook her head violently, "No! No way! You are a married woman, how can you casually touch a man other than your husband? Now I am physically cooling him down like this, not to save his life, not to eat other people's tofu! Stop! ”
Although Yuan Wulang is not what her ideal husband looks like, people have not done anything to be sorry for her.
It's just that she looks a little bit mother, and she dresses up a little bit with bells and whistles, and because of this, she gets him a green hat back, which is really unreasonable.
What's more, people can only take concubines if they have no children at forty, and it is pitiful enough to guard her, a wife who is not very likely.
If she is better than other men, she will be so sorry for him.
Cui Ling decided to ignore the huge temptation of the bearded man, she looked at his nose and nose, and wiped his body without squinting.
Finally, I felt his body temperature drop a little, so I stopped the movement of my hands and put on his clothes again.
In order to hide her feelings, she also specially arranged his clothes neatly.
At this time, her stomach suddenly rumbled, and she was hungry.
I didn't eat well last night, but I just ate two chopsticks of beef and was poured by people, after a night of tossing, I was already hungry with my chest and back. The stomach can support until now to protest. She's already grateful.
But it's icy and snowy. What can you find to eat?
Cui Ling glanced at the bearded man's gradually recovering face, moved a few more straws to cover him, and then walked out of the grotto again.
She decided she wanted to go out and have a look.
There was so much snow that you couldn't see anything but the trees.
After walking a few steps out, she found a shallow mark of horseshoe on the ground, which was probably the red horse that the bearded man had ridden at night.
The horse's footsteps were messy, and the horses' hoof prints were disorganized. Looks disoriented.
Cui Ling was a little confused, and the bearded man of Weishenme let go of the only horse that could transport them back to the city.
Even if the two of them are physically exhausted and need to rest, he can completely tie the horse nearby, and when his physical condition is better, the two of them can ride down the mountain.
It's better to ask for others than for yourself, which is much more reliable than waiting for others to come to the rescue.
However, Cui Ling believes that the bearded man must have a reason to do so.
Just for him to be able to fall from the sky at her most critical moment. Saved her life from the fierce Rouran thief, and she felt that no matter what. Trust this man.
She withdrew her gaze from the horseshoe prints and looked up at the towering trees around her.
It was supposed to be hazelnut, but she was too shallow to recognize the specific species, only that the tree grew very tall, and the branches and branches on the top were luxuriant, and the leaves and branches were mostly covered by mountain snow, and occasionally the snow fell, revealing the original figure of the leaves, but still retained its emerald green color.
Her eyes lit up, and she might be able to find pine cones and hazelnuts on the hazelnut trees!
Cui Ling walked around the neighborhood, found a relatively thin tree, hugged the trunk and shook it vigorously.
Hard work pays off, but it's not completely useless.
Finally dropped something like the Pine Tower.
She ran over and peeled it inside, and found that there were pine cones hidden inside!
Perhaps few people have always come here, and the squirrels in the forest have not had time to eat all the pine nuts, so most of the fallen pine towers have pine cones, and they rarely miss.
Cui Ling was very happy.
Looking at the current condition of the bearded men, there is not much they can do, and it seems that there is nothing else they can do but wait for rescue.
And waiting, it is necessary to have food reserves.
Drink well, you can get clean snow water.
There is also firewood inside, and you can even find a way to heat the snow water.
But there are no people in a hundred miles around, and it is a little difficult to solve the problem of eating.
There should be wild beasts in the mountains and forests, but she is a weak woman, and her body is not yet well, so she can't do a big thing of catching beasts.
Not to mention catching wild beasts to eat, she was lucky not to let wild beasts eat them.
As a result, they will face a crisis of not having enough to eat.
With water alone and no food, she can survive for three days at most, plus the injuries and illnesses of her and the bearded man, I am afraid that she can survive a day and a night, which is already remarkable.
But what if help doesn't come for a long time?
And now, Cui Ling's worries have been solved.
These hazelnut-leaved trees have something like a pine tower growing on them, and there are plump pine cones inside to feed their stomachs.
Pine nuts are highly nutritious, and if there are pine nuts on the trees here, then she thinks of collecting more and relying on them to fill her stomach.
She exhaled deeply, then rubbed her palms together and ran under the tree and shook violently.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang", a steady stream of fruits fell from the trees, and it rained pine towers.
Cui Ling soon reaped a bumper harvest.
She returned with a cloak full of pine towers, and found a discarded iron pot in the corner of the grotto.
After cleaning and tidying, she poured all the pine nuts into the pot, and then thought of setting them up on the firewood, in which case it was too laborious to stir-fry, so she went to fetch snow water and put it in the pot, intending to make boiled pine nuts.
I don't know how long it took, but the fragrance wafted out.
Cui Ling lightly touched the bearded man, "Hey, if you wake up, get up and eat something to fill your stomach first!" ”
The fever on the bearded man's body had mostly subsided, and his face and forehead were no longer hot.
But he curled up in a ball, his body shivering, "cold ......"
Cui Ling listened attentively, "What? What did you say? ”
The bearded man's body was pressed towards Cui Ling's body, "Cold, so cold......" (To be continued......)
PS: There is a second update today, but I'm not sure about the time, it may be afternoon, it may be evening, it depends on the situation~
