Chapter 169: Life and Death
Liu Meiniang was embarrassed to blame Zhang Jilin again.
"If I'm in any danger, you can't help it." Liu Meiniang helped Zhang Jilin and said as she walked inside.
"I'll protect you." Zhang Jilin said stubbornly.
Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jirin, did not speak, and was still a little warm in her heart.
Although this abandoned wooden house has been uninhabited for a long time, thankfully, there are still some working things inside, such as a clay pot for water, as well as a few broken bowls and a pot.
Liu Meiniang guessed that there must have been people living here before, and as for where the owner of this place went in the end, whether he went out or died here, it remains to be verified.
"It's okay, there's something to boil." Liu Meiniang turned out the pot and looked at it, although the edge of the pot was broken, but most of it was still usable, Liu Meiniang picked two bowls that looked better and put them in the pot.
"You just stay and don't move, the creek is not far away, I'll go wash these things, come back and make something to eat, I've been hungry all day." Liu Meiniang picked up the pot and said with a straight face.
"Okay." This time, Zhang Jilin nodded obediently.
Watching Liu Meiniang go out, Zhang Jirin slowly stood up and moved to the door, although the creek was not far away, but Zhang Jirin was still not at ease, standing at the door, he could vaguely see Liu Meiniang's back by the stream.
Zhang Jirin carefully avoided the wound and leaned against the door frame, looking at Liu Meiniang's direction, the corners of his mouth hooked.
However, Zhang Jirin quickly thought of one thing, that is, when he and Liu Meiniang fell off the cliff, the scene that flashed was his hallucination or ......
He was sure that that scene was definitely not something that could appear under the cliff, and falling from such a high cliff, King Chun had already fallen to his death, but he and Liu Meiniang were only bruised, which made Zhang Jirin puzzled.
Besides, he originally had a knife wound on his body, and when he fell off the cliff, Zhang Jilin was ready to fall to death, but he was safe and sound, thinking of this, Zhang Jirin's eyes darkened, and when he saw Liu Meiniang, he seemed to be about to turn around, so he hurriedly walked back and sat in his original position.
When Liu Meiniang was washing pots and bowls, she went to the space to turn it over, and all the vegetables grown in the space had been picked and sold by her last time, so she had to pull some green vegetables from the corner of the land.
Liu Meiniang didn't expect that the space could really bring people in, which didn't mean that she could hide in the space when she encountered danger in the future, so that the space would become a lifesaver in disguise.
After this incident, Liu Meiniang decided to store food in the space in the future in case of emergency.
Just like now, there is nothing in the space except for a few handfuls of greens and spiritual spring water, both she and Zhang Jirin have been hungry all day, how can this handful of greens be enough to eat.
Looking at the green vegetables in her hand, Liu Meiniang wanted to cry without tears.
As he was about to leave with his washed pots and bowls, he suddenly saw loaches swimming around in the stream. Liu Meiniang's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.
So Liu Meiniang put the pots and bowls on the shore, looked around, saw the willow tree next to it, went to pick some willow branches, made a simple fish basket, and caught the fish.
As soon as she said it, Liu Meiniang divided it by two, broke a lot of willow branches, sat by the stream and began to weave a fish basket.
After weaving, the fish basket was fixed in the narrowest place of the stream, and a thicker wood was found, and began to stir in the stream.
"Ah......" Liu Meiniang just turned around, and there was a person standing behind her, so frightened that Liu Meiniang took several steps back, and the fish basket was still tightly hugged in her arms, which looked funny and cute.
Liu Meiniang looked at it and it turned out to be Zhang Jirin.
"What are you doing, do you know that such a sudden appearance will scare people to death." Liu Meiniang glared at Zhang Jirin angrily.
"If you haven't come back for so long, I'm afraid you're in danger." Zhang Jilin was not annoyed at all, and calmly explained that he just thought that Liu Meiniang was going to come back, and went back to sit down, but he didn't expect to wait for a while and not see Liu Meiniang come back, and after walking to the door, he didn't see Liu Meiniang's figure.
"It's nothing, how can it be dangerous, don't move if you're injured." Liu Meiniang freed up one hand to support Zhang Jilin and babbled a lot, Zhang Jirin just looked at Liu Meiniang and nodded, not refutating.
Back at the wooden house, Liu Meiniang began to cook.
A basket of fish and loaches, and there was no seasoning, so Liu Meiniang poured them all into the pot and threw them in half with a handful of green vegetables that she brought out of the space.
After a while, a fresh fragrance wafted out, and Zhang Jirin couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Well, it smells pretty good." Sure enough, it is pure natural and wild, and it tastes so fresh.
Without chopsticks, Liu Meiniang casually broke four branches, fished out the loaches, and fished them all into Zhang Jirin's bowl.
"You eat more, you are a wounded now, if you don't eat, the wound will heal slowly, and if you don't eat, you won't have the strength to protect me." Afraid of Zhang Jirin's ink, Liu Meiniang said coldly when she handed the bowl to Zhang Jirin.
Zhang Jirin took the bowl and saw a bowl of loaches, and his heart had mixed feelings. Looking at Liu Meiniang's side face, my heart throbbed.
Liu Meiniang pretended not to see Zhang Jirin's eyes, picked up a bowl of clear soup and drank it slowly.
At this moment, Nie Changfeng on the cliff is the real cry without tears, and his subordinates are about to turn over this place, but they haven't found a way down the cliff, not even a sheep intestine path.
"Major General, you can't go." Nie Changfeng tied the rope to his waist, turned over and was about to go down the cliff, but was fiercely pulled by the person behind him.
"Changfeng, our people have already sent news to General Nie's side, or it won't be long before General Nie will bring someone over, it's too dangerous for you to go on like this." The young man grabbed Nie Changfeng.
"It's been a few hours, what's the use of you hurrying now, why don't you eat something first."
Everyone took turns to persuade Nie Changfeng, for fear that Nie Changfeng would do something irrational. In fact, everyone knows that with such a high cliff, the survival rate of falling down is very low.
They all fell to their deaths, what's the difference between going to look for them later and going down to look for them earlier.
Maybe Nie Changfeng also knew, but Nie Changfeng didn't want to believe it.
"What about the meat buns, who saw the meat buns?" Nie Changfeng finally compromised, and was pulled up by everyone to sit on the edge of the cliff, and everyone began to eat dry food to replenish their strength, and Nie Changfeng found that the meat bun was missing at this time.
"You're talking about the tiger cub?" Someone asked.
"yes, where?" Nie Changfeng hurriedly asked.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads, then Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jilin fell off the cliff, everyone was busy looking for ropes and finding a way to get off the cliff, who would care where a tiger cub ran away.
"Meat buns, meat buns." Nie Changfeng stood up and shouted everywhere on the edge of the cliff, but there was no response.
Nie Changfeng returned to his original place and sat on the ground in frustration. Zhang Jirin and Liu Meiniang are gone, and now even the meat bun is gone.
I thought that if I caught King Chun, this time the matter would be over, but I didn't expect King Chun to come with such a blow temporarily, I have to say that King Chun is indeed a ruthless person, and he will die with Zhang Jilin at the cost of his life.
Or they were careless, if they could be more vigilant on the way back, maybe they would be able to find King Chun's ambush, and Zhang Jirin and Liu Meiniang would not fall off the cliff.
After Zhang Jirin and Liu Meiniang had dinner, Liu Meiniang excused herself to go out and poured out some spiritual spring water in the space to clean Zhang Jilin's wounds.
"It's okay, my wound ......" Zhang Jilin saw the tired look between Liu Meiniang's eyebrows, and couldn't bear to let Liu Meiniang work harder.
"Wash it, the wound heals quickly." Liu Meiniang shook her head and went to untie Zhang Jirin's clothes.
Zhang Jilin was silent and let Liu Meiniang untie her clothes.
"Luckily, there was no inflammation." Liu Meiniang breathed a long sigh of relief. If Zhang Jirin's wound is inflamed, it will be tricky. Maybe I'll have a high fever tonight.
The spiritual spring water rubbed on the wound, and the original hot pain of the wound disappeared suddenly, and a cool feeling came up, and Zhang Jirin's frowning brows also relaxed.
"Alright, you have a good night's rest." Liu Meiniang helped Zhang Jilin get dressed.
"You should have a good rest." Zhang Jirin stroked Liu Meiniang's brow.
"I'm fine." Liu Meiniang smiled and shook her head, she was not injured.
While the two were talking, the sound of squirming came.
"There won't be any wild beasts in this mountain, will you?" Liu Meiniang's heart trembled, remembering the white tiger she had met in Wollongong before, if this would break in from the wooden house and fight a tiger, she and Zhang Jirin would not be able to escape.
"Don't be afraid." Zhang Jirin held Liu Meiniang's hand tightly and blocked in front of Liu Meiniang.
"Whoa." The familiar cry came, and Liu Meiniang's eyes lit up.
"Meat buns?" Liu Meiniang screamed, and a white voice suddenly rushed in at the door, and pounced directly on Liu Meiniang's legs, Liu Meiniang squatted down and picked up the meat bun.
"Whoa." The meat bun was so anxious that she jumped around Liu Meiniang's feet, and Liu Meiniang realized how embarrassed the meat bun was.
The white hair on her body was all stained with mud, and there were blood stains from where she didn't know where it came from, and the hair exploded, looking like a stray dog, Liu Meiniang was distressed to death.
The usual meat buns look lively and cute, eat well, and the hair is soft and shiny, but now the meat buns seem to have just come out of the sewer.
"How did you get down?" Thinking of such a high cliff, Liu Meiniang had palpitations.
How the hell did the meat buns find this place from the cliff?
"The meat bun is loyal to you." Zhang Jilin said.
"Hungry?" Liu Meiniang touched the head of the meat bun.
"Whoa." The meat bun screamed, indicating that he was already hungry.
"There's nothing to eat." Liu Meiniang spread her hands with tears and laughter.
"Go out and grab something to eat yourself." Liu Meiniang patted the back of the meat bun.
"Whoa." The meat bun was rolling in the ground, Liu Meiniang played with the meat bun for a while, and the meat bun ran out of the smoke, probably because she was hungry.
Liu Meiniang's silver bell-like laughter came from the wooden house.
