Chapter 69 Take care
At this time, Angelina looked like a savage, with shabby and blackened clothes, scattered shawl hair, and even her shoes were worn out, revealing two white little feet.
Angelina lay down and rubbed her feet, she had waited all night in the snow last night to catch such a snow rabbit, and her feet were frozen to the point that she was almost unconscious.
After rubbing for a while, her feet finally felt something, and Angelina took the time to look at Locke, and the wild man next to him who was covered with stubble, greasy hair, and even had some peculiar smell on his body was Locke.
Locke's face was still very pale, but not dead gray as it had been at the beginning, and his sturdy body was now emaciated as skin and bones, lying quietly on the turf, and only from his weak breathing could he tell that Locke was still alive.
Angelina fell asleep next to Locke, she stayed up all night last night, and now she is so tired, before falling asleep, Angelina did not forget to put Locke's arm on her waist, just like that, in the cave, the two of them hugged each other and slept ...
In the afternoon, Angelina woke up, she still looked up at Locke as she did every time she woke up, but the result was the same as every time, Locke was still that pale, and his closed eyes never opened.
Angelina sighed, cheered herself up, and prepared dinner for two. In the past half month, Angelina and Locke have only eaten one meal.
The hard snow rabbit was in the cave for most of the day, and there were some signs of digestion, Angelina skillfully used a light technique, clinging to the snow rabbit's fur, and after a while, the frozen snow rabbit slowly softened.
Angelina only melted a third of the snow rabbit's flesh, and left it to freeze, ready to be used as food for the two of them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Taking out Locke's dagger, Angelina began to concoct rabbit meat, and a small bonfire appeared against the hole, and the scorched smoke from the dead branches wafted out of the hole, accompanied by a faint smell of barbecue.
Angelina didn't dare to burn the fire too much, the snow bear that came to hear the news a week ago left a deep impression on her, and now she only retains a small amount of magic every day, plus a four-person Locke, even the snow bear as a beast she didn't dare to provoke, but fortunately she was clever, extinguished the flames at the critical moment, and blocked the cave with snow, so as to escape the attack of the snow bear.
Angelina didn't learn Angelina's ability to make fire with improvised materials, but she had her own method, and the magic trick of light, which could be mastered by entry-level apprentices, played tricks in Angelina's hands, which was lighting, defeating enemies, heating up, and igniting fire.
Although nearly a month of exile had cut off Angelina's magical studies, she felt that her knowledge of magic had deepened.
The food is just ordinary barbecue, the two of them have been eating barbecue almost every meal in the past half a month, it doesn't matter if they are tired of eating or not, the important thing is that there is still to eat, Angelina will not forget the days when she couldn't find food, she could only drink some snow water, holding the unconscious Locke to endure hunger.
The barbecue is very exquisite, Angelina has a good grasp of the heat, and has learned Locke's fifty percent barbecue skills, and the finishing touch is that the barbecue is sprinkled with some salt crystal particles and red powder. The salt crystal was brought from the saltwater lake when it came out, but fortunately it was well prepared at that time, and there is still more than half of it left.
The red powder was ground from the fire cloud fruits that Locke had first found, and those small numbers of fire cloud fruits were now very useful, and Angelina had a harvest every time she hunted, relying on the attraction of fire cloud fruits to wild beasts.
Huoyun Fruit is a magic material, although the level is quite low, but it is still attractive to some ordinary beasts, plus it is winter, the difficulty of animal foraging has increased a lot, and Angelina's Huoyun Fruit in the trap really attracts some herbivores. Of course, most of them are small animals like snow rabbits and cedars, and Huoyun Fruit can only be attractive to these little ones.
The snow hare is okay, if you are lucky enough, a snow hare can make two people eat for three days, but the cedar and vole are not, less than the volume of a slap, only enough for two people to eat for a day. The weight of both of them has been lost in the past half a month, and it is difficult to find food.
The smell of the roasted meat soon came, Angelina shook her throat, and did not rush to eat, and only after the meat was completely roasted, Angelina stopped, and used the snow next to her to extinguish the bonfire, but did not completely wet the bonfire, and the residual temperature of the bonfire was enough to warm up the cave where the two lived a lot.
Angelina took the barbecue back to the straw mat, bit a little meat with her teeth, chewed it carefully before swallowing, and occasionally drank the melting snow water from the wooden pot next to her.
After eating half of the meat, Angelina stopped swallowing and switched from mouth-to-mouth to Locke, if Angelina was still a little shy in the first two days, now she doesn't care at all. This guy took care of her like this in the first place, and she takes care of him like this now, which is fair, Angelina thought.
Locke was still unconscious, Angelina didn't respond to feeding him food, Angelina even needed to chew the food and use the tip of her tongue to bring the food to Locke's throat before Locke swallowed it with his body's natural reaction.
Locke, who hadn't washed for half a month, had a musty smell that couldn't be dissolved, even if Angelina gave Locke a cleaning operation almost two days, but the smell was like maggots on tarsal bones, and it couldn't be dissipated. Cleansing only cleans up stains on the body and has zero effect on odors.
Especially in Locke's mouth, he hasn't rinsed his mouth for half a month, I really don't know how Angelina persuaded herself with the dignity of a princess.
Sending the last bit of shredded meat into Locke's mouth, Angelina stopped feeding, wiped the saliva from the corner of Locke's mouth with the back of her hand, looking at the red appearance of Locke's lips being bitten, Angelina's face was slightly red, she was still a 16-year-old girl, although she was used to doing this kind of thing these days, but when she calmed down, she still couldn't help blushing, and she even secretly scolded herself for being shameless and losing the face of the Faustin royal family.
But at the thought that her life was saved by Locke, and that Locke had taken care of her like this, Angelina had an excuse to convince herself. In the eyes of outsiders, Princess Angelina, who has been smart, sensible, mature and noble since she was a child, is just a little girl at this time, and the kind of behavior that Locke took when he saved her before was a piece of ice, which could also be broken, just like that, without Angelina herself knowing, Locke had already entered her heart.
After feeding the food, Angelina cleaned up the messy cave a little, she went out last night, and didn't come back until this morning, and she rested for a long time before she lay down, and there was no time to clean the cave where the two lived, Angelina, who was a little clean, could tolerate the dirty and broken clothes and shoes, and definitely couldn't bear to live in the pig's nest.
After poking a snow hole at the entrance of the cave to ventilate, Angelina sat cross-legged on the straw mat and began her routine meditation. Angelina, who is powerless, can survive for half a month in the snowy mountains with Locke, who is like an oil bottle, relying on her magic.
Three magic tricks were played by her, not to mention the light technique that is very useful, but also the cleansing technique and the light body technique have been developed by her in many ways. Angelina must ensure that her magic power does not fall into exhaustion, and during these dry days in the snowy mountains, Locke also fell into a coma, and if she didn't practice to pass the time, Angelina felt like she would go crazy.
It wasn't until night came that Angelina stopped meditating.
Got up and walked up to Locke, put his hand into Locke's clothes, and after digging for a while, pulled out a white oval crystal nucleus the size of a thumb.
The soft light emitted by the white crystal nucleus in the dark cave at night, Angelina, who held the crystal nucleus, felt the faint warmth of the crystal nucleus from the touch between her fingers.
This white crystal nucleus is the low-level magic core contributed by the dead moonlight wolf, the light magic core has always been a very scarce precious material, Angelina has seen a lot of intermediate and even high-level demon beast crystal nuclei from her teacher's laboratory, but she has never seen the light magic core. The rarity of the light-based demonic beast and the healing ability of the light-based demonic core have doubled its value.
The magic core in his hand became dim after emitting a soft light for a while, it used up the stored light magic power, and during the day, the light magic core could absorb the surrounding light magic while healing Locke's body, so as to break even, but not at night.
Angelina needs to place the light core close to the entrance of the cave, so that the moonlight outside can just shine on the magic core and help the magic core to store mana faster.
Shortly after the core left Locke's body, Locke began to tremble. This is the only proof that Locke did in a day to indicate that he was still alive.
If you look closely, you will find that in addition to wearing a piece of his own broken clothes, what is left is a patchwork of miscellaneous animal skins, and the clumsy connection skills are known at a glance to be Angelina's technique. The heat retention ability of these furs is very poor, and Locke's physical condition is very poor at this time, so Locke is shivering with cold.
Seeing Locke's trembling appearance at this time, Angelina sighed and made an unexpected move.
Angelina took off the shabby clothes that wrapped herself, revealing her white delicate body, and as soon as her white skin was revealed, Angelina felt a biting coldness in this cold and lonely cave, and hurriedly bent down and got into Locke's 'quilt', two pieces of broken clothes for two people and a messy animal fur assemblage were their 'quilt'.
Angelina was lying on her side facing Locke, looking at the man who was two years older than her, although Locke was sallow at this time, and the stubble on his chin was getting denser and denser, Angelina still saw a handsomeness in Locke's face.
Don't think about it, after Angelina hugged Locke under the 'quilt', Locke, who was trembling, finally quieted down, and even hugged Angelina in front of him with both hands involuntarily, and the two hugged each other like this.
From the night of the first snow after rescuing Locke, Angelina made this decision when she saw Locke shivering with cold after the Moonlight Wolf Core lost its effect at night, and she did not regret it.
