This queen is not too curly

This is awkward.

When the breath of getting up finally passed, Yan Yuan still maintained the same posture, thinking of countless ways to get into the cracks in the ground.

"I'm not……"

She wanted to say that I didn't mean to.

But before he could speak, he suddenly heard a sound from the cave entrance, and a bloody smell rushed into the cave along the wind from the cave entrance, followed by the sound of footsteps in the cave.

"Something came in."

Chen Ling said in a low voice.

Of course Yan Yuan knew it too, so she picked up a dead wood branch that was on fire from the bonfire, and stared at the cave entrance intently.

Campfires can ward off most beasts.

But if it wasn't for the beast...

Yan Yuan tightly guarded Chen Lingchen behind her, and told him in a low voice: "If the beast comes in later, I will hold the beast and you run as far as possible; if the person who comes in later is a human..."

Yan Yuan picked up the arrow basket and carried it behind her back: "I will extinguish the bonfire, you hide in the dark first, and come out after I kill them."

Chen Ling said lightly, "Okay."

It was quiet again in the cave.

Chen Lingchen couldn't see anything, but he knew that Ning Bai was very close to him, so close that he could smell an extremely faint breath from Ning Bai's body.

It was a special smell, it seemed to be the fragrance contained in the sap of some kind of tree, mixed with the cold air of the white snow, it was indescribably bitter.

Ning Bai was about an inch away.

Chen Ling blinked deeply, raised his wrist, and wanted to find out where Ning Bai was, but he didn't want to be pushed away by a force before his fingertips touched what he wanted to touch.

"Chen Lingchen! Run outside!"

Ning Bai's voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Lingshen withdrew his hand immediately, and ran towards the cave's exit without any hesitation!

Yan Yuan's arrow just passed by his ear and hit the heart of an ape blocking his way.

Yes, apes.

Yan Yuan held ten thousand swear words in her chest and couldn't find the time to squirt, so she could only whistle with all her strength to attract the attention of the group of monkeys.

Could it be any more unlucky?

Yan Yuan wailed in her heart.

This cave turned out to be the territory of those monkeys!

There is a shortage of food in the snowfield, and the monkeys in the forest are not kind and cute eat peaches. They will prey on their own kind in the cold season, drink their own blood and eat their own meat, and are more cruel than tigers and lions.Right now, the group of apes had obviously gone mad, screaming strangely and rushing towards Yan Yuan.

There are so many of them, bows and arrows are obviously not enough.

Yan Yuan had no choice but to throw away the arrow basket, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and cut the ape's neck with a single blow!

"Oooooooo-"

The group of monkeys screamed in disorder, and they frantically attacked Yan Yuan in groups.

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and clenched the dagger in her hand.

come on!

……

It was a chaotic fight.

In the dream, the bonfire was trampled out in the chaos, the cries of apes mixed with the laughter one after another, chaotic fights, blood flowing, and the smell of blood in the cave was overwhelming.

After everything subsided, Yan Yuan took a breath on the spot and lit the bonfire again.She squatted by the campfire, pared a branch with a knife, and made it into a simple torch.After finishing all this, she slowly walked out of the cave.

Chen Lingshen didn't know where he went.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, she took a deep breath, her body's exhaustion had reached its limit.

Suddenly, there was a sound of stepping on the snow.

Yan Yuan suddenly turned her head, and saw the withered grass being gently pushed aside by someone at the edge of the cave, and Chen Lingchen came over on the snow, groping her way to her side.

He didn't even leave.

Yan Yuan's eyes widened in surprise: "Have you been waiting here?"

Chen Ling's face was expressionless, as if he didn't even bother to answer.

Yan Yuanchi asked: "Have you been here all this time? The ape didn't notice you when he ran out, did he?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she knew she had asked a nonsense question.

He must have hidden well enough not to be seen.

The apes in the snowfield are extremely intelligent species. They not only act in groups, but also hold vengeance very much. They suffered from her in the cave. If they see her companions outside the cave, they will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

If Chen Lingchen had been bumped into by the ape, with his skill, he would have been torn to pieces by the ape on the spot.

It's too risky anyway.

Yan Yuan said seriously: "The next time you encounter such a thing, you'd better run away."

Chen Ling said coldly: "Didn't you say that if you leave alone, you will only rot in the snow field, your bones will be eaten by wild beasts, and you are only worthy of going to the underworld to be the king of a country?"

Yan Yuan: "..."

Do you want to hold grudges like this?

Yan Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.

Chen Lingchen chose to stay where she was, but she was not angry, and was even a little relieved.

Humans have the instinct to survive. The group of apes screamed miserably just now, and the cave is like purgatory. Escaping is anyone's instinctive choice.And since he was able to overcome his instinct to stay here, the only reason could only be for her.

After all, this dog has a little conscience.

Yan Yuan asked him softly, "Are you going to collect the body for me?"

Chen Ling remained silent.

The white snow reflected the moonlight, and the light reflected on his face, illuminating his indifferent jaw and the apparent stiffness and awkwardness on his face.

Yan Yuan smiled, grabbed his wrist, and led him into the cave.

"Let's go, those bastards must not dare to go back to the cave tonight."

Chen Lingchen's wrist stiffened, but he didn't resist. He obediently followed her footsteps, lowered his head, and followed her into the cave.

The cave smelled of blood.

Chen Ling felt the sticky touch on Yan Yuan's hand, and asked coldly, "Are you injured?"

Yan Yuan smiled: "A little wound, it wasn't bitten by them."

Just now there were too many apes, and she couldn't kill them alone, so she thought of a coquettish trick: squeeze the wound on the palm of her hand, get some blood, and then put it on the hair of every ape she could touch. I touched it.

The apes judge the same kind by smell, and blood confuses their sense of smell. They fight in a group in the cave, and she hides in the corner to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Great, right?"

Yan Yuan proudly showed off to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling remained silent.

He groped his way to the hay just now, curled up his body, and closed his eyes stiffly.

Did you suddenly learn to behave?

Yan Yuan looked at him suspiciously.

She had just fought a fight, and now her blood was boiling, and she couldn't sleep at all, so she just sat by the campfire and kept watch.

Soon she discovered that Chen Lingchen just closed his eyes, but his breathing was suppressed. It was obvious that he was not asleep at all.

"Can't you sleep?"

Yan Yuan probed softly.

Reminiscent of his series of behaviors that disturbed her dreams just now, suddenly a strange thought flashed through her mind: he couldn't fall asleep by himself, so he deliberately found fault just now to make her sleep too comfortably, right?
Although this idea is very bizarre, but it is inexplicably reasonable to meet him.

This is indeed something he can do.

……

Chen Ling opened his eyes slowly, and sure enough there was no trace of sleepiness in his dark pupils.

He sat up and said coldly, "Gu allows you to sleep for an hour."

Yan Yuan: "..."

I can thank you!

Yan Yuan rolled her eyes towards the sky, and the little goodwill she had accumulated just now disappeared instantly.

She roughly pushed Chen Ling back onto the hay: "Close your eyes."

Chen Ling said angrily, "What are you doing..."

Yan Yuan pretended not to hear, she pressed his chest, held down his hands and feet, and then lazily said in his ear: "For the sake of you taking the risk to stay and collect the corpse for me, I will teach you how to sleep, Mr. Jun." the ability."

Chen Ling was shocked and angry: "Ning Bai!"

Yan Yuan said coldly: "Close your eyes, I will only teach you once, you must fall asleep, otherwise I will beat you until you faint."

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Breathing staggered, struggling uselessly.

Chen Lingchen finally realized that what Ning Bai said did not have any extended meaning, but really wanted to teach him a method of falling asleep that was circulated in the army.

It's a pity that he probably let him down.

Chen Ling sneered in his heart.

He has used almost all the methods in the world, and the small tricks in the army are impossible to be useful.

Thinking like this, he smelled the clear pine scent from Ning Bai's body, Ning Bai's hair was right next to his ear, and the sound of breathing was close to him.

The bloody smell of beasts around seemed to be gone suddenly.

Chen Ling closed his eyes.

If he wants to try, just try.

"good."

Ning Bai's voice came slowly.

That was the last sound he heard.

……

Outside the dream, in the emperor's bed.

Yan Yuan tightly grasped the bed sheet under her body, she couldn't wake up, nor could she fall asleep, only messy breath gushed out from her throat.

"Yan Yuan."

Chen Lingshen was awakened by her noise, and walked to the bed holding the lamp.

At that time, Yan Yuan's forehead was already wet with sweat, and her messy hair was sticking to her cheek.

She mumbled, tossed and moaned, her lips were bitten tightly, and a trace of blood smeared from her lips, making her face even paler.

Chen Ling frowned deeply: "Yan Yuan, don't sleep, wake up."

Obviously, Yan Yuan couldn't hear at all.

She had already fallen into a nightmare, her whole body was like a fully drawn bow, standing stiffly on the bed.

"Yan Yuan!"

Chen Ling's deep voice cooled down.

He casually took the teacup from the coffee table, and a cup of water fell on Yan Yuan's face.

In an instant, the cold tea slid down her neck, Yan Yuan's rapid breathing stopped suddenly, and everything returned to calm.

Yan Yuan slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were blank, she stared blankly at Chen Lingchen, as if she didn't understand his behavior.

Chen Ling explained indifferently: "It's just a cup of herbal tea, just to make you escape from your dreams."

He knew her temper. Normally she was a harmless mushroom, but when she was drowsy and angry, she was like a swift beast, extremely vicious.

However, this time he seemed to guess wrong.

Yan Yuan was not angry.

She just blinked and murmured: "I'm not asleep, I'm just...too cold..."

While talking, she wrapped the quilt tightly, her whole body curled up into a ball, shivering under the quilt, and even the last trace of blood on her lips was about to fade.

Is it that cold?
Chen Ling frowned and looked at her.

The stove outside was emitting heat all the time, and the quilt on her body was made of fine silk, and it was only late autumn, not the middle of winter...

Chen Ling hesitated for a long time, then stretched out his hand reluctantly, and put his fingertips on her forehead.

Under the fingertips, it was really wet and hot.

"..."

What a useless piece of rubbish.

Chen Ling let out a sigh of relief, and went outside to get a small bowl of medicine.

The medicine had been prepared there by the palace people, and Luo Ziqiu had already explained before leaving that if he had a fever in the middle of the night, he would be given an antipyretic decoction every two hours.

Holding the medicine bowl, Chen Ling said indifferently, "Drink."

He had thought that he would experience some ups and downs, but instead of making noise, Yan Yuan sat up, took the medicine bowl in his hand and drank it down, then obediently returned the bowl to him.

Yan Yuan raised her head and blinked at Chen Ling: "Genius doctor, this medicine is not bitter."

She frowned, and said in a distressed tone, "Is it because we have run out of weeds?"

Physician?

Chen Ling was stunned.

He finally realized belatedly that the Yan Yuan in front of him was not fully awake, it seemed that she was only half awake—she didn't know where she was at all, she was just talking to the person in the dream.

Is the subject a divine doctor?

Chen Ling answered her calmly: "Yes, the weed has been used up."

Except for the imperial palace, the reserves of such precious medicinal materials are limited in other places. It is very difficult for the folks to collect them, and it is very common to run out of them.

Yan Yuan's expression was dull: "But my father said that he has already found someone to go to the Western Regions to find medicinal herbs, and he will be back soon."

Chen Ling said calmly: "Oh, the caravan met robbers and died."

Yan Yuan's expression was blank, as if she didn't understand the meaning of "all dead". After a long time, she tilted her head and said "ah" stupidly.

Now it really looks like a mushroom.

Chen Ling hooked the corners of his mouth deeply, and a playful light flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Yan Yuan was still immersed in the news she had just learned, her face was full of panic, her round eyes widened, her chest heaved up and down for a while, and then she became quiet again.

She lowered her head, her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "...a miracle doctor."

Chen Ling answered slowly, "Yes."

Yan Yuan asked in a low voice: "Then I won't live long?"

Her voice was low and soft, with tremors at the end.

A malicious smile curled up on the corner of Chen Ling's mouth, and he told her word by word: "Yes, you don't have much time, and you need to prepare for your funeral as soon as possible."

Does she ever get scared too?

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes.

He leaned down and leaned closer to admire the bewildered expression on her face.

But at this moment, Yan Yuan sat quietly on the bed, like a puppet, staring blankly at him with empty eyes, and in the next moment, tears flowed from those eyes.

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Yan Yuan actually cried just like that.

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment: "...Yan Yuan?"

Yan Yuan obviously couldn't hear again, her tears flowed more and more, transparent tears ran down her pale cheeks, slid down to her chin, and dripped onto the quilt.

She cried silently, with no expression on her face, but she looked indescribably pitiful.

Chen Ling paused for a deep breath.

An indescribable anxiety grew from his heart and slowly wrapped around his fingertips.

He feels restless.

This feels different from the restlessness of insomnia.

When he was insomnia, he was manic and depressed, and the surging feeling in his chest made him want to smash everything and kill all living things in front of him. It was a kind of crisp anger.

Unlike now, he didn't know where to put the medicine bowl in his hand.
