Chapter 248: Affliction (2)
The next day, Wei Nong was awakened from hunger. After getting up, he ate a naan, and hurriedly went to investigate Yuan Che's injuries. His wound had stopped bleeding, and his face was better than yesterday's, which was somewhat reassuring to Weimao.
She thought about it and felt that it was not good for his health to lie on his stomach all the time, so she helped him move his limbs and turned over twice. Then he chopped wood again to make a fire and boiled medicine for him.
But after changing the medicine, Wei Nong realized that something was wrong: she patronized and fed him medicine, and she never fed him food! So, she endured the fatigue and soreness all over her body, and ran out to hunt wild game in search of wild fruits, thinking that he would at least have to drink some soup.
I don't know if she was lucky, or if she was lucky, she hit a little buck and a pigeon. She cut the antler velvet, put the deer blood, skinned the deer, roasted the venison, and stewed a pot of pigeon soup according to the original method last time.
Weinong ate a delicious meal by himself, chewed the venison again, fed Yuan Che a lot (not by mouth), and fed him pigeon soup. After a noon nap, Yuan Che still didn't wake up, so Wei Nong opened all the other three boxes and flipped through all the books.
Coincidentally, the original 7749 volumes of books, in the four boxes salvaged are: 12 volumes of national policy, 6 volumes of medical books, 4 volumes of astrology, 10 volumes of Qimen Dunjia, 5 volumes of gossip deduction, and 5 volumes of weapon forging techniques. The only thing that Yuan Che wanted was the seven-volume war book, which seemed to be in the last box.
Just in case, Wei Nong decided to hide the books. She felt that if Yuan Che came back to life, he would definitely not compete with her for national policy again; If Yuan Che died, there would be nothing to say. Moreover, the thirty strange books originally belonged to her, and she was at ease with them!
Thinking of this, Wei Nong wrapped the national focus in oiled paper again, carried it back to the former camp, dug a pit under the tree where she had sheltered from the rain, and carefully buried the national policy in it. But after burying it, she still felt uneasy, so she dug up eight more copies of the national policy, and found two other places to bury four copies each.
Then, she drew the gourd in the same way, and found a place to hide the books in the other three boxes, and she was already familiar with the medical book on the left and right, and she knew what medicine Yuan Che should use without reading it.
When she buried the book, she had already made a silent decision in her heart. She will not move Yunchen's national policy, and the thirty volumes of strange books, she plans to give them to Nie Xingji. She had nothing to give back to the latter, but to give him these thirty strange books, hoping to bring him some help!
Forty-two books, which she hid in six places. There was the camp where she had been stationed, the grass where she had hunted, and the spring where she bathed...... When all the books were hidden, she found a lot of branches and turf and carried them back to the cave, put them in empty boxes, and then tied them up with chains and locked them again. As a result, it was as if no one had ever touched the box, as if she had never known how to open it.
When the four boxes were placed back in front of Wei Nong, she looked at the "masterpiece" she had been busy with for a day and smiled with satisfaction.
*****
For the next three days, Weinong did not hunt again, and lived on the remaining venison. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer naan, she was not too worried, but now she was only worried about one thing - the climate was getting warmer and warmer, and the monster corpses in the pool were starting to stink.
These days, she's been busy with other things and forcing herself to ignore the monster. Until now that she is really idle, Yuan Che's injury has stabilized, and she has begun to have to face this problem.
If you don't get rid of the corpse of that thing, in two days, the whole cave will stink to the extreme, and there will be no way to live in it. But don't say that Yuan Che can't move, and she doesn't have the energy to decorate another place herself, so she thinks about it...... Finally mustered up the courage to face the monster in the water.
Fortunately, the water monster has been dead for many days, and the body has already floated on the water, so there is no need to go into the water to salvage it. So she found a few rattans, made a lock-up pattern, and began the difficult salvage process.
It took a whole noon to put a rattan around the monster's head and drag it to the shore. Then he used another rattan to lasso its tail, and after one end to the other, Weinong dragged two rattans to get it out of the cave.
Due to the lack of light in the cave, it was slightly thick and deliberately did not look at it, so I didn't know what it was. When she dragged it all the way to the outside of the cave, she bravely took a look and found that this thing was not a water monster at all, but a huge crocodile!
And this crocodile had already been slashed all over the body by her dragon sword, dragged from the hole to the outside of the hole, and the internal organs almost flowed to the ground, which was extremely disgusting. But fortunately, it was not a monster, and Wei Nong would not be scared anymore, and she continued to drag the crocodile down the mountain, trying to find a place to properly dispose of its corpse.
As soon as he got to the vicinity of the camp, the crocodile was stuck in a stone, and he pulled two rattans hard, but accidentally pulled one too hard and broke one. The crocodile "Gollum" rolled and rolled its belly upwards, revealing its belly, which had been pierced by the Dragon's Sword.
Immediately, something fell out of its abdomen. Wei Nong thought it was internal organs again, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and dragged the crocodile away. It wasn't until she threw the body away and returned the same way that she realized something was wrong.
What had just fallen out of the crocodile's stomach was a thick scroll. What kind of book is it? Weinong wiped the stains off the scroll with leaves and unwrapped the bag wrapped around it - it was a parchment roll!
She hurriedly opened the parchment scroll, and found that there were two of them, very large and long, with all kinds of strange patterns on them, some like mountains, some like water, and some like branches, all of which were zigzag and twisted. There were so many strange symbols on the lines that she couldn't make out what they were.
She remembered the experience of Long Yin and Shocking Hong's map patchwork, so she put the two parchment scrolls together as well, but she still couldn't see any clues. The only thing that can be seen is that the picture can be divided into about nine pieces, each large or small, with different shapes.
She was trapped in the shackles of the dragon's scream, always thinking that only one line was the real map, and the rest were interfering clues. So she studied it so intently that she compared every line, and even forgot that there was an unconscious prince in the cave!
Seeing that the sun was setting and it was getting late, she suddenly remembered Yuan Che, so she returned to the cave with the parchment roll, and disposed of the crocodile's entrails on the way. She fed Yuan Che food and medicine as usual, and helped him move his limbs before he could take care of his own food.
While eating roast venison, Weinong was still thinking about the parchment rolls. Could it be that the crocodile ate something by mistake and accidentally swallowed it in its stomach?
But intuition tells Wei Nong that these two volumes of things are very important, and it is very likely that the crocodile was deliberately raised in the spring pool by the predecessors, in order to protect the five boxes and roll sheepskins!
Unlike the black and white books, the parchment scroll is more like a huge secret hidden, or another map! And this hidden unknown aroused a slight curiosity, and she thought about it and made a bold decision - to hide this thing from everyone, and take it down the mountain before making a plan!
The moment the thought arose, Wei Nong found the white silk she had used for Kwai Shui, carefully wrapped the parchment rolls, and put them in her own baggage. She was about to lie down and fall asleep, when she suddenly heard a small voice in her ears: "Thirsty ......"
It's Yuan Che who is asking for water in a daze! Slightly overjoyed, he hurriedly handed the kettle to his lips, and really saw that he drank water more smoothly than a few days ago, and it was not difficult to swallow. Wei Nong immediately tried to talk to him: "Yuan Che! Hara! Can you hear me? ”
The sound of a mosquito and fly in response sounded, and Hara's long eyelashes flickered slightly, and then, with difficulty, he opened his eyes with difficulty.
Wei Mian screamed "ah", overjoyed: "You're finally awake!" ”
Yuan Che had been sleeping on his stomach, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't see his faint face at all, so he could only shout weakly: "Who? ”
Wei Nong immediately leaned down to his side and tilted his head to look at him: "It's me!" You've been asleep for five whole days! ”
The two had never been so close, less than three inches apart, and even the posture was identical. Yuan Che's mind was still chaotic, and he slowly remembered what happened after a long time, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth: "You...... Saved me? ”
"Is there anyone else on the mountain?" Slightly thick smiled and asked rhetorically.
Yuan Che also tried his best to laugh, but unfortunately the muscles on his face were stiff and weak, and he couldn't laugh at all. He opened his mouth again, and after a while, two words popped out: "Thank you." ”
"Thank you when you're better!" Wei Nong let out a long sigh of relief: "I'm really afraid that if you die here, King Ning and Wei Hou will definitely skin me!" ”
Yuan Che seemed to remember his injury at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Am I seriously injured?" ”
"Don't worry, it's ...... A piece of flesh was bitten off from the buttocks, and it was no big deal. Wei Nong took care of him for five days, and he no longer had any shyness, and said generously: "If you recover well, it should not hinder your action." ”
Wound in the buttocks...... Yuan Che also roughly thought of the situation that day, and then thought about Wei Nong's care for him in the past few days, and a trace of blush flashed on his pale face in an instant. He only felt that his mind was dizzy and burning, a hundred times worse than the high fever.
Wei Nong probably also noticed his embarrassment, and hurriedly turned over and lay down, put his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are a delicate and expensive sect disciple in my eyes, and I haven't seen any places that shouldn't be seen." ”
Hearing this, a burst of sweetness suddenly poured into Yuan Che's mouth, and it seemed to be mixed with a strong bitter medicinal taste. He looked at the bright smile on the bright face, at her graceful and generous, at her casualness, at her slightly tired appearance from taking care of him, and only felt that his chest was filled with something.
He had always resisted the facts he had recognized, and he had been deceiving himself, and at this moment blood was embedded in his heart.
He...... Tempted. (Imperial Circle.) /22/22327/)--
