When Bai Qingxing woke up again, he found that the person next to him was nowhere to be seen, and he was terrified. It was dark outside, and I couldn't tell the time, but it was raining heavily.

The fire was no longer half-dead like he had been before he went to bed, but after a few additions of firewood, it burned very strongly, and the light of the fire filled the cave, making him feel that his clothes were dry. Bai Qingxing's head was groggy, and he sat up slightly before he heard the voice next to him.

Lin Chaoge, who had already changed into clean clothes after the rain, was also a little dumb in his voice; "You're awake."

Bai Qingxing was stunned for a moment, his throat and head aching; "How long did I sleep".

"It's been a long time. I don't know what time it is, you have a fever, don't get up, lie on your stomach. ”

Only then did Bai Qingxing find that Lin Chaoge's coat was being draped over himself, and his hands had been tightly wrapped in a clean cloth, almost like a mummy, and even his lower leg was tied with a flat wooden stick because of a fracture and cut into a fixed position, otherwise it would prevent the bone from being misplaced.

He turned his head with difficulty, only to find that Lin Chaoge was actually weaving straw shoes. The blades of grass were a turquoise sheen, but it was clear that she had been over-tanned.

She had already braided one, with only the bottom and ears on the sides for threading, which could be easily tied to her feet.

But it was also obvious that there were a lot of abrasions and blood marks on her feet, and she took the opportunity to change her clothes.

Bai Qingxing heard his own voice say in a hoarse voice; "You're out."

Lin Chaoge turned his head with a smile; "Hmm. I wanted to see if I could find mugwort leaves or banyan root to put a wound on you, but I didn't find it, but I found Houttuynia cordata growing by the stream. The juice of Houttuynia cordata can also kill bacteria and reduce swelling, but the taste is a little unbearable. ”

Only then did Bai Qingxing see that the wound on his hand had been rebandaged, and there was indeed a smell of houttuynia in the air.

"And I'm lucky to find Houttuynia cordata, and I can still use the rest of the juice as a seasoning. Maybe it tastes a little bad, and I'm telling you I'm lucky to have picked up a dead rabbit."

Lin Chaoge pointed to the side like a child waiting for an adult to praise him; "Ah, look, there's it, I haven't baked it yet. It was a big fat rabbit that I found on the riverbank, and it seems that it was also swept down the mountain because of the landslide in front of it, and it was dead when I found it. My peeling and dirty skills are not very good, and even the cooking is a little bad, so I'll wait for you to wake up and then bake it, although there is no salt, and Houttuynia cordata is also a kind of seasoning. He tilted his head and laughed a little silly.

Bai Qingxing only watched the not-so-fat hare being cut clean, just like using an iron skewer to fork the belly of a sheep when roasting a sheep, but she used a sharpened branch.

Bai Qingxing shook in place; "These are you... You got it".

"Well, you wait a minute, you can eat it right away." Lin Chaoge touched his head and smiled a little shyly; "But my cooking skills are not very good, so I can eat it when it is cooked."

Bai Qingxing immediately lowered his eyes, during the time he was asleep, she was able to take care of everything in order, and even thought of his wounds. In contrast, he was like a waste to be taken care of.

His heart was heavy, but his mouth was joking; "I don't know, I thought we were going to retreat to the mountains and forests here." smiled. I wanted to get up to help her, but I got dizzy and almost fell off the rock.

Lin Chaoge hurriedly grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.

She touched his forehead with a slightly cool hand, the burn was a little worse than just now, and she pulled open his shirt and probed his chest, and the temperature on his body had faded.

Bai Qingxing was stunned by her sudden bold movements, and Lin Chaoge remembered that this move was a bit Meng Lang, covered up his clothes, and coughed lightly; "I just want to see if the temperature on your body has faded."

"Well, I know that Brother Lin is not this kind of person." But for a moment just now, what he was thinking in his mind was what if Lin Chaoge really planned to plot against him, what if he planned to obey? still pretended to push it away, but it was just that I was thinking too much, and for some reason I was suddenly a little disappointed in my heart.

Bai Xianxing lay on the thatched stone, looked at the fire, and walked for a while; "It's the first time I've felt so useless."

He thought that Lin Chaoge would say something very superficial to comfort him, but he just flipped the roast rabbit surface and said; "A man has five lengths, and one must be short."

"Brother Bai is good-looking, has excellent academic performance, and even his family background is enviable, and he is one of the three sons of Chang'an.

Bai Xianxing was lying on the slightly cool stone face, his eyes were a little uncomfortable, so he leaned over to her; "But I still want to learn."

The meat is roasted on the fire, giving off a sizzling aroma.

Lin Chaoge turned his head and wondered; "Cold".

"Hmm".

The two of them waited for the rabbit to be cooked and then used to eat, and the taste of Houttuynia cordata with Houttuynia cordata juice was actually a bit strange, but the two of them who had been hungry for almost two days ate it and had an endless aftertaste.

There was still some distance before dawn, Lin Chaoge probed Bai Qingxing's forehead before going to bed, and found that the fever had subsided a lot, and it was basically fine if he sweated at night.

Sleep until dawn, the warm sun and wind in the Tianshan Mountains, the green grass and white flowers and yellow leaves, the romantic and amorous plum rain has disappeared in the second half of the night, replaced by the warm sun this morning, the fire is extinguished, only a few green smoke remains, and the raindrops left by the cave/door last night have been illuminated by the orange sun.

When Lin Chaoge woke up, he found that he was lying in Bai Qingxing's arms, and he didn't even know when he rolled over, maybe he was too sleepy last night or turned cold at night, and his body arched uncontrollably towards the heat source.

But this posture is too ambiguous, his face is directly attached to someone's chest, his legs are like an octopus climbing around the hunt, and he is thinking about how not to wake up the other party and retreat with his whole body.

The entangled person opened his eyes, Xu was just out of fever, and his mind was still a little unclear, but he didn't pay attention to Lin Chaoge's legs quietly retracted, and his head moved away silently.

"Brother Bai, you were sweating last night, you have to take a shower and get sick." Lin Chaoge, who didn't sleep very well last night, woke up many times a night, and he was worried that Bai Qingxing would suddenly burn up again in the middle of the night.

So much so that in the second half of the night, I was so sleepy that I couldn't stand it and somehow rolled into a ball.

"I'm fine, let's get on the road first." After sweating all over his body, his hair stuck together, just like oiled moss, and there was even a lot of sand, stones, grass and trees piled up on it, which was strange and disgusting.

Bai Qingxing, who had already woken up, took the water bladder handed by Lin Chaoge and drank a lot. When you are outside, everything is under power.

"Okay." Since the parties had said so, what else could she do, not to mention that she was now desperate to stay in a village before dark, and the wounds on their bodies had to be treated.

There is also a clean water source, clothes, bandages, food, and medicine are urgently needed, otherwise the next person who waits for a fever due to wound infection may be her.

"I'll hold you, and you lean on me, so we can go faster." Lin Chaoge took the crutches that he had placed in the cave/mouth before going to bed, and put half of his body on top of him, with his hand on her shoulder.

Bai Qingxing is the same as her, her legs are tied and flattened into wooden strips, the difference is that one is the right leg and the other is the left leg, and the two can only support each other to walk, just like the two of them are two-legged.

Although the speed is slow and the posture is ugly, it is better to walk!

The emperor lived up to his wishes, as for them walking to a populated place in the evening, when the two of them just wanted to enter the village, Lin Chaoge suddenly grabbed him, and a bad memory flashed on his gray face; "You wait." Then he tossed his hair, spread it out, and combed the loose women's sideburns with a silver hairpin in his hand, and then wiped two mud on the ground and put mud on their faces.

Lin Chaoge knew that no matter how he was covering up, his face was still slightly feminine, so he immediately spoke; "Wait a minute, we'll pretend to be a couple who were killed by bandits at home and escaped halfway."

"Okay."

Not long after they were at the gate of the village, an aunt with a vegetable basket in her hand and a simple and honest face came over, and saw the two people who were about to enter the village, and hurriedly spoke; "Hey, where did you come from, how did you suffer such a big crime."

Outsiders come and go from the village, and they can't help but be curious.

"This kind eldest sister begs the eldest sister to be kind enough to take us in for one night. We walked for two days and two nights before we came to a village with people. Lin Chaoge's tears came as soon as he said it, and he cried skillfully, which was easy to make people feel pity.

"My husband and I originally planned to go into the imperial city to see the goddess, but we were hit by those bandits who killed a thousand knives on the way, and our investigation and people and horses were robbed, and even if our husband and wife didn't run fast, they would definitely die under the knife and become dead souls with nowhere to redress."

"Eldest sister, we just want to ask you for a bowl of water to drink, just have a covered thatch to sleep on, we are too tired, we will pay." In order to prove that what she said was the truth, Lin Chaoge took out a piece of silver from his unsightly clothes and stuffed it.

Bai Qingxing silently acted as a background board, and he was very useful for some reason for the 'Xianggong' who knew that his name was false.

"What did this little girl say, come on, come on, the eldest sister's house is just about to cook, if you don't dislike coarse tea and light rice. This money or something, the girl took it back, you have been so bitter all the way, and besides, the food of the eldest sister's family is not worth a few dollars. Aunt Wang shirked and refused.

"No, no, it's good that the eldest sister can take us in." Lin Chaoge was dead and wanted to stuff the silver into the palm of Aunt Wang's hand.

"Your daughter speaks nicely, but this eldest sister really can't accept it." The hand is pushing.
