Chapter Twenty-Eight: To Worsen the Situation
It feels good and bad to be alive in death, but the good thing is that I finally have consciousness and regain consciousness. The pain is also restored along with the recovery of consciousness, including the pain of back trauma, the soreness of the joints around the body caused by fever, and the tingling pain in the lungs caused by severe coughing.
Boil, the only thing Ji Qiu can do at this time is to boil, there are still some gold sore medicines found in his own room before, which is good news for him, and the bad news is the lack of food, the rice grain in the temple is stored in the west wing, which has been destroyed by fire, and the dry food found from the bandits before is also rotten, at this time there is only a small amount of grain brought out from Yunyang City, even if you only eat one gruel a day, it can only last for four or five days.
Alone, seriously injured, deep in the mountains and broken temples, dead and gloomy.
Excessive blood loss will cause the body temperature to drop, and the most direct reaction is to feel cold all the time, Ji Qiu is unable to move, and he can't go far, so he can only dismantle the doors and windows of the temple to act as firewood and grass to keep the bonfire unextinguished.
On the first day after waking up, due to heavy sweating, the dampness and cold subsided, and the joint pain gradually relieved.
The next day, the joint pain was further relieved as the lung pain caused by the severe coughing was also relieved.
On the third day, the joint pain was almost gone, and the pain in the lungs when gasping for breath was no longer unbearable.
On the fourth day, except for the back trauma, he still felt pain, and there was no other discomfort, just a loss of qi and blood, and his body was weak and weak.
On the fifth day, Ji Qiu left the broken temple, not because his injuries had healed, but because he ran out of food and had to leave.
Ji Qiu went east, taking the old road that the two of them walked that day.
Due to Ji Linger's inconvenience, the two walked for several days when they came to the broken temple, this time they turned back the same way, Ji Qiu used two days, and at night they lived in the cave where they had settled with Ji Linger, there are many thorns and shrubs in the mountain, walking in it is inevitable to scratch the clothes, and when they get out of the dense forest, Ji Qiu is already ragged and unkempt.
When he arrived at the main road of Dedong Mountain, Ji Qiu went north.
In fact, in the previous few days in bed, Ji Qiu had already thought about where to go, although Lu Yin had already gotten wet when he went into the water to rescue Ji Ling'er, but before that, he had carefully looked at Lu Yin, and he still remembered the general path, but he didn't want to go to the Soul Suppression League, because he didn't want to see Ji Ling'er again.
But the final result of thinking was to rush to the Soul Suppression League, when they were separated from Ji Haoran and others, Ji Haoran and the others were chased by the giant python and fled, if he returned to Yunyang City, Ji Dongyang asked about Ji Haoran's situation, he couldn't answer, he still had to go to the Soul Suppression League, at least to confirm that Ji Haoran and the others had arrived safely.
If you want to go to the Soul League, you have to go south, but after he got on the road, he went north, the reason why he went north was to find food, a bowl of gruel a day for a few days before, he was already hungry, and the water and rice did not enter the two days when he turned around, and he was shaking when he walked at this time, and if he didn't eat again, he might starve to death.
In the afternoon, Ji Qiu came to the inn where he had stayed before, but he didn't go in for two reasons, one was that he had searched the inn before and knew that there was nothing to eat in the inn. The second is that Nanling is desolate, hot and humid, and the corpses inside have rotted and stinked, and the stench is disgusting and disgusting.
Ji Qiu continued to walk north, he was not walking aimlessly, but had a predetermined place, and the place he was going to was the place where the bandits tied their horses.
He had previously investigated that the bandits' horses had been bitten to death by wolves, but there were several horses, and the wolves might not be able to eat them all.
But when he went to the ground, Ji Qiu knew that he was wrong, the horses had been gnawed away by the wolves, and now there were only a few white skeletons and maggots and horse heads left.
Disappointment is inevitable, but Ji Qiu is not very disappointed, although the horse meat is gone, the horse's leg bones are there, a horse has four legs, and there is bone marrow in the thigh bone and calf bone, the horse's leg bone is very large, and there is a lot of bone marrow in it, which can be cooked to satisfy hunger.
In the evening, Ji Qiu turned around and walked south with a bundle of horse leg bones, with a lot of bone sticks, and it was very heavy to carry.
The reason why the Southern Spirit Wilderness is called the Southern Spirit Wilderness is because it is very barren here, after the Heavenly Punishment got out of trouble, the anti-blood guards were vicious and evil from the Southern Spirit Wilderness, chasing and killing the monks of the Soul Suppression League everywhere, so that the people of the Southern Spirit Wilderness were all in danger and fled one after another.
After entering the shift, Ji Qiu stopped from the side of the road, looking for firewood to make a fire and roast bone sticks.
After Ji Ling'er left, he had less scruples, Ji Ling'er was young and beautiful, if he met a villain, he would not be coveted and harmed, this time he was left alone, unkempt and empty-handed, even if there were thieves and gangsters passing by, it would not be difficult for him.
Although these horses have been dead for more than ten days, the bone marrow in the leg bones has not rotted, and the bonfire will burn the bone marrow while also burning the bones crispy, knocking the bone and sucking the marrow, so hot and fragrant.
When he had food in his belly, he had some energy, and he was reluctant to eat too much, so he only burned two, and these leg bones were his rations for the next few days.
There are many mosquitoes in the South Spirit Wilderness, lighting a fire can not only repel mosquitoes, but also attract moths, some moths are very large, after being burned by the bonfire, their wings flutter from a close place, Ji Qiu saw it and caught it, put it into the fire, roasted and eaten.
These moths are the size of a middle finger and have seeds in their bellies, and they are also very delicious when cooked, and they can pick up more than a dozen of them.
At the time of the third watch, Ji Qiu was a little sleepy, stood up, wanted to find firewood and grass from nearby, and burned a bonfire to lie down and rest.
As soon as he got up, he suddenly found a black shadow on the north road, and the black shadow was about a hundred steps away from him, and the silhouette should be a person.
The shadow stood in the middle of the road, not moving.
After waiting for a while, there was still no black shadow moving, and Ji Qiu shouted, "Who is it?"
As soon as he shouted, the shadow moved and began to move towards him.
At first, Ji Qiu only felt that the black shadow's moving posture was a little weird, and when the black shadow reached fifty steps away, he saw the clue, this guy was not walking, nor running, but jumping.
Seeing this, Ji Qiu instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and there was nothing but zombies jumping away.
Frightened, he secretly complained, he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out this time, how could he have encountered any unlucky things.
At the critical moment, he didn't think much about it, grabbed the long knife, carried the bone stick, turned around and ran......
