530 Chapter 540 - The Bear's Paw and the Fish
Seeing that Duan Qingming didn't speak, Yan Lingyu thought that he had said something wrong again. In the darkness, his face seemed to be slightly red, and his breathing became a little cramped. Under the starry night sky, his eyes were bright, his expression was very real, and he said softly, "I mean, we're already out of there, so please don't worry." ”
Such a high cave, such a steep cliff, and such a dark cave, plus a comatose person by his side, and unable to find water, his own people with a high fever, the prospect is slim...... In that case, Duan Qingming must be scared alone, right? Yan Lingyu thought that Duan Qingming was still apprehensive until now. That's why he reminded him specifically.
Duan Qingming smiled slightly, and said with a refreshing look in her eyes: "You are still injured, how did you take me away?" ”
The high fever coupled with the coma caused Yan Lingyu's vitality to be greatly damaged, so how did he move himself out of the cave when he was seriously injured?
Yan Lingyu subconsciously touched the tightly bound belt around his waist, where there were still vague traces of blood. The wound was very painful, and the dizziness from the high fever seemed to be somewhat relieved. Fortunately, in the dark, Duan Qingming couldn't see it. Yan Lingyu smiled: "You are so light, I will definitely be able to carry you out." ”
Duan Qingming's face turned red.
This Yan Lingyu spoke, and he never knew what it was. Until now, are you still joking with yourself?
Duan Qingming was a little annoyed, but she couldn't say what she was annoyed about, she turned her face away and ignored Yan Lingyu anymore.
The water was gurgling in the dark, and it was impossible to see where the water was going. In the middle of the night in early spring, it was still shivering, not only shivering with cold, but also shivering with hunger. Duan Qingming's stomach was uncomfortably empty, and there was a feeling of wanting to gag. She had to hold her stomach with both hands, and then she felt that she had no strength in her body.
Spring has just arrived, and the spring buds are germinating, and there are no wild fruits to be found in the mountains and fields except for those new grass buds. Duan Qingming, who had been hungry for two days and two nights, no longer knew what the food tasted like.
Beside him, there was a sound of "rustling", and then the fire lit up.
The light was not strong, it was a little dazzling, Duan Qingming closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly, a burst of food aroma passed through his nose and went straight through his lungs, and his stomach, which was already numb from hunger, was attracted by this aroma at first glance, and suddenly screamed "grunt, grunt". The strong taste stimulation made Duan Qingming swallow his saliva hard. Only then did she feel the hunger in her stomach, and she almost wanted to devour herself completely.
The flickering firelight illuminates the entire space. After Duan Qingming's eyes adjusted to this brief light, she couldn't help but look forward, only to see a small fire burning in a crack in the stone somewhere in front of her. Because of the distance, Duan Qingming didn't feel the heat of the fire at all.
Not long after, Yan Lingyu came over again. In his hand, he held a fork made of wooden thorns, on which was the source of the fragrance. It turned out to be a palm-sized fish.
Duan Qingming swallowed her saliva hard, and couldn't help but say, "This, you caught it?" ”
Yan Lingyu said: "Yes, it's a pity that when we arrived here, it was already dark, so we only caught two, and when it dawns tomorrow, I will bake them for you." ”
Duan Qingming took the wooden fork with one hand and said with some confusion: "You mean...... Caught two? ”
Yan Lingyu spread his hands and said, "Originally, there were two, but one of them was only crossed aside by me, so I ran away." ”
Duan Qingming couldn't help laughing. Because, she has never seen someone spear a fish, and after running away from the fish, he still looks so relaxed. Not even, there is not even a little perfunctory regret.
Under the flickering firelight, Yan Lingyu looked serious. After handing the fish in his hand to Duan Qingming, he said lightly: "Eat quickly, girls' families, don't be hungry." ”
The aroma of the fish came to her face, Duan Qingming resisted the urge to swallow the fish in one gulp, and she couldn't help but say, "What about you?" What do you eat? ”
Yan Lingyu suddenly laughed, he laughed and said, "Wait until tomorrow morning, I will catch another fish, won't I eat it?" ”
Duan Qingming pursed her lips slightly, but did not make a sound.
She found her handkerchief, put down the fish on the fork, and then, divided it in half, held it with a handkerchief, put it in front of Yan Lingyu, and said, "Here's it." ”
Yan Lingyu's fingers moved, but he quickly stopped. He stubbornly said, "No, I won't eat it, I'll give it to you." ”
A fish the size of a palm is actually only enough for one person, and in such a hungry situation, one person is afraid that he will not be able to eat enough, right? Yan Lingyu's meaning was very clear. That is, Duan Qingming must eat this fish, because she needs this fish.
Duan Qingming said seriously: "Girls are not hungry, but men are also not hungry, not to mention, you have just finished having a fever and need to replenish your strength." Come on, let's eat together, only if you eat, I can eat it. ”
Yan Lingyu obviously hesitated.
Duan Qingming is obviously not that kind of selfish girl, this fish, if he doesn't eat it, I'm afraid Duan Qingming won't eat it, right?
After thinking about it, Yan Lingyu picked up the fish that Duan Qingming handed over, and said softly: "To be honest, it's the first time I've grilled something for others to eat...... In the past, I used to roast it a lot, but I always roasted it alone and ate it myself......
Speaking of this, Yan Lingyu suddenly laughed: "It's just that this fish doesn't have salt...... I'm afraid it doesn't taste salty. ”
Duan Qingming said with a smile: "People often say that hunger does not choose food, they are all hungry like this, can you still think of salt?" ”
Yan Lingyu touched his arms and muttered, "When I go out next time, I will definitely bring some salt and put it on my body......"
Duan Qingming originally took a bite of the fish, but when she heard Yan Lingyu say it, she laughed: "Are you thinking that the next time you encounter danger, you will prepare the salt bag first?" ”
Yan Lingyu actually nodded.
Duan Qingming laughed again: "I knew that you must think so." ”
Obviously, everyone was very hungry, but Duan Qingming was still eating the fish in small bites, and while eating, she picked out the thin spines in the fish, and reminded Yan Lingyu: "Pay attention to these thorns, don't get stuck in your throat." ”
Yan Lingyu smiled slightly. Although the light was very dim, he could still see any of Duan Qingming's expressions clearly. Hearing Duan Qingming's instructions, he laughed: "Don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”
A fish, the two of them ate for a long time. In the end, even the fish bones and fish bones were eaten by the two of them. After eating, Yan Lingyu groped to the water's edge to wash his hands, and then, leaning on the stone on one side, sighed with satisfaction, and said, "I think, this is the most delicious fish I have ever tasted." ”
Duan Qingming wiped her hands with Yan Lingyu's wet handkerchief, and then said softly, "Me too...... You know, in the past, I often couldn't eat enough, and at that time, I also thought about a lot of delicious food, but now it seems that I know that this fish is really delicious. ”
Yan Lingyu listened to Duan Qingming's words and was silent for a while.
Duan Qingming's situation, he knows more or less. For example, Liu Rong's harsh treatment, and for example, Duan Yulan's arrogance. But that's all in the past. Now Duan Qingming has enough ability to protect herself. Naturally, there is a premise for this, and that premise is when there is no one involved.
The darkness of the night narrowed the distance between the two people, and gradually turned into unguarded honesty. Duan Qingming said slowly: "At that time, someone asked me, can I have both fish and bear's paws? So, I told him that I hadn't eaten bear's paws, so I didn't know at all. ”
Hearing this, Yan Lingyu laughed silently.
Duan Qingming, an eldest lady, lives a life that is not even as good as her subordinates, but this kind of life is sad for her, not to mention, she is still lucky.
