Chapter 83 Meeting the Wolf
For a while, my body was as cold as falling into an ice cave, and for a while it was as hot as being in a steamer. I fell asleep drowsily and had a strange dream.I dreamed that I was stung by a scorpion, and then I didn’t know who killed the scorpion for me, peeled off its stomach, and applied the scorpion eggs in its stomach to my wound, and the poison was cleared.But this scene was seen by another scorpion, so groups of scorpions came out from nowhere and rushed towards us densely. We were so frightened that we ran wildly all the way, and finally rushed to a mountain pool.The pool of water looked quiet and cold on the surface, but as soon as we entered the water, we discovered that it was a boiling hot spring.Immediately, steaming heat came out, which also frightened a group of scorpions.

I was so hot that I was sweating, and my mouth was thirsty. The man soaked in the hot spring with me. I couldn’t see his face clearly. The hot air from the hot spring blurred my vision. I reached out and stroked his face, trying to distinguish clearly. What he looked like, but I couldn't tell.I was so anxious that I couldn't think about it, there was a sudden coolness on my lips, as if someone was calling my name softly in my ear, I suddenly woke up, and saw An Yuanxi with a anxious face dabbing gently with a piece of wet cloth My chapped lips.Seeing me wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy expression on his face: "Miss Ye, what do you think?"

It was daylight, the fires were out, and the morning air was as fresh as dew.I looked at the two panda eyes on An Yuanxi's swollen face, and was startled: "Have you not slept all night?"

He was only wearing his inner garment, and the outer robe, together with my robe, was covered on the shabby woolen blanket that wrapped me.The wet cloth in his hand continued to wipe the sweat on my forehead: "You have had a fever all night, I'm afraid something will happen to you." So, besides drying the clothes this night, he just cooled me down?When I fell asleep, I felt extremely cold, why did I have a fever again?I moved, my body was limp and weak, I stretched out my hand to touch my forehead, it was really hot.An Yuanxi withdrew his hand to wipe my sweat and turned his face away. I looked at the blush on his face suspiciously. It was only when I saw my arms that I realized that my body under the blanket was not covered.This idiot, I couldn't help laughing, but just looking at my bare arms makes me feel awkward like this. A woman in my time, dare to wear suspenders and hot pants on the street in summer. If An Yuanxi accidentally wears them to the era of my previous life, I don't know. What would it be like to be scared.Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing: "An Yuanxi, I want to get dressed, you are not allowed to peek."

His face suddenly turned red like a drunk shrimp, he stood up awkwardly, avoided my sight, and stood where I couldn't see him.I propped myself up, turned dizzily for a while, almost fell limp again, gritted my teeth, managed to put on my clothes, and found that the old woolen blanket was soaked with sweat from my body.

I called An Yuanxi over and handed him his coat, thinking that he had been freezing in the open all night in his coat, and I was really touched.He clumsily puts on his court attire, which is so ridiculous on him that I can't help laughing again.When he heard my laughter, his already pale face turned red again, he turned his head and stood far away from me to tie his belt.

I picked up the two pieces of flint in the wooden shed and put them in my pocket. They were useful on the road, and I rummaged through the shed again. There was really nothing to take away. Yuan Xi got dressed and came over: "Do you want to take this away?"

"It's useful on the road, what if I have to sleep in the open again at night?" I hugged the blanket and wanted to stand up. My feet were weak for a while, my whole body was sore and painful, and I couldn't use any strength in my legs. An Yuanxi hurried to support me , frowned and said: "You look like this, can you still go?"

"If we can't go, we have to go. If those bastards know that we are not dead, it will be bad." I stood up with difficulty, and took a soft step, the muscles in my thigh and calf were so sore that it was unbearable.An Yuanxi took the blanket roll from my hand, walked two staggering steps, stopped suddenly, shook the blanket off, and draped it over my body.I looked at him in surprise: "What are you doing..." Before I finished speaking, he had already squatted in front of me: "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

I stared at him blankly, he shouldn't be much better than me, right?I managed to get some sleep, but he didn't sleep all night.Looking at him hesitantly, I hesitated and said, "Aren't you tired? Can you do it..."

"Stop talking nonsense, come up." He interrupted me, "Don't you want to leave this damn place early?"

He had never spoken to me in such a strong tone before, I was taken aback, pulled the woolen blanket tighter on my body, and leaned over to his back.He swayed when he stood up, lifted me a little higher, and walked forward with my back.I grabbed the blanket tightly and hugged his neck, only to realize that An Yuanxi's shoulders are actually very broad, and his back is very strong. I always thought he was thin and weak. It seems that his scholarly appearance deceived many people's eyes.

Clinging to his broad back, I drowsily hung my head on the back of his neck, his skin was so cold, I greedily pressed my scorching face against the cold skin, his His body froze slightly, the scorching breath sprayed on his neck, his skin became soft, warm, and moist, and his tight skin slowly relaxed, I closed my eyes with peace of mind, and fell into a coma again.

Consciousness is ups and downs, I don’t know if I’m awake or dreaming, but between half-dream and half-awake, I continued intermittently with last night’s dream. The man who used scorpion eggs to detoxify me turned out to be the second son of some fort. The power of the castle is very strong, so this son can be regarded as a person with power.He doesn't know why, but loves me very much, and insists on marrying me as his wife.I ignorantly agreed, but I didn't know whether I loved him or not.In the dream, however, I had an unbearable life experience, and marrying him was a high priority, because he seemed to have to fight against the court if he wanted to marry me.Regarding our marriage, at first his elder brother, that is, the eldest son of the castle, did not agree, but the second son's attitude was very fierce and tough, and he persuaded him with the eldest son's own feelings.The second son said that he would build a Fengying Building for me to live in, and he couldn't make me feel wronged.But when everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, I refused to agree to his marriage. Not only my parents couldn't persuade me, I even didn't want to see the second son, and escaped from that fort.

I hid in a tree and went up and down the tree, but I had to take the elevator.I didn't know how to go up at first, then I met a man who said he could take me up.The strange thing is that he is obviously the second young master, but in my dream I followed him very happily as if I had never seen him before.He didn't seem to be surprised by my amnesia, he only thought about how to get me back to him again, and after taking me up the tree, he kissed me.I hugged him tightly, I couldn't see his face clearly, and thought very strangely, is it right to do this?It should be the first time with the second son, right?But I immediately thought, who is it different from?Anyway, the end is the same.

My body seemed to shake. I opened my eyes in a daze. An Yuanxi stopped. There was a small river in front of him. There were lush reeds growing beside the river. He squatted down and put me on the ground. I stared blankly. Looking at him: "What's wrong?"

"Rest here for a while." An Yuanxi blushed a little, probably out of strength, "I'm going to drink some water."

When I came back to my senses, I remembered that we hadn’t eaten at all since last night. He was probably too hungry. I had a fever and I was so confused that I completely forgot to eat. Now that I think about it When I got up, I immediately felt that my stomach was starting to revolutionize.I licked my lips and looked at this vast grassland, where can we find food?Even if we meet herdsmen, we have no money to buy food. If this continues, even if we don't drown in the lake, we will starve to death on the grassland.

My head is dizzy and my stomach is hungry. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. There are some little stars jumping around in front of my eyes. I just fainted. After fainting, I don’t feel anything at all. I thought without ambition.An Yuanxi suddenly ran out of the reeds holding his robe and excitedly: "Miss Ye, look what I found..."

He ran in front of me and squatted down. There were more than a dozen white and long-shaped wild duck eggs spread out on his robe, one of which was cracked, and the eggshell was cracked, and golden juice flowed from the gap Seep out.My eyes widened, and I immediately grabbed the broken egg, broke the shell, and poured the egg juice mixed with the egg white and egg yolk into my mouth. Before I could feel the fishy smell of the egg, I swallowed it.Licking the egg juice dripping on my hand, I looked up and saw An Yuanxi looking at me stupidly, and suddenly came to my senses, my face was hot, "I..."

He didn't say anything, and quickly passed another one to my hand, I took it awkwardly, and said bitterly, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

He smiled: "I'll go find some firewood and roast them."

I chuckled: "Where can an egg be roasted on fire? It will be fried. Do you want to eat eggshells?" This nerd has no common sense in life.

"Can it explode?" He looked at the duck egg in his robe in embarrassment, "but..."

I looked at his embarrassed expression, and speculated: "You don't dare to eat raw, do you?"

His face turned red, neither acknowledging nor denying, I smashed the wild duck egg in my hand, broke it open and poured the egg juice into my mouth, swallowed it with a "gulu", licked my lips and said: "Just treat it as drinking Squeeze your nose and swallow it in one gulp." It seems that my duck has become a donkey mentally.

He frowned, followed my example, drank a duck egg, swallowed it with difficulty, and coughed a few times with a strange expression.I smiled and said, "Isn't it that difficult to swallow? Another one."

Each person swallowed four wild duck eggs, and wrapped the rest in torn blankets. Today's food was settled.An Yuanxi carried me on his back and continued to walk forward. I was full and felt that my head was not so heavy. I lay on his back and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, An Yuanxi, how did you break free from the rope? ? That bastard Ulay tied it up so tight."

"It was His Royal Highness who saved us." An Yuanxi whispered: "The way he tied the rope was very special. It looked tight, but when he turned his wrist outward, the rope came out. Do you remember the prince? Did His Highness speak in my ear before tying me up? He just told me to turn my wrist over after getting into the water. I didn’t quite understand what it meant at the time, but after I got into the water, I remembered what he said, and as soon as I followed suit, the rope came off. "

It turned out that Ulay had done it.I snorted coldly: "Did he think that I would thank him for doing this? If we tampered with the rope, we would be able to save ourselves? What if we are both ignorant of water? Untie the rope It’s not the same as dying, that dead sand pig..."

"Sand pig?" An Yuanxi asked in surprise in front.I paused, and said angrily: "I mean, that guy is a self-righteous stinking thing anyway."

An Yuanxi laughed softly, and I fell on his back dejectedly, speechless for a moment.After walking on the grassland for a day, we were worried that people would discover our whereabouts. We deliberately avoided the herdsmen grazing. When we saw a flock of sheep in front of us, we avoided it and tried not to make contact with Yaoyue people.When it was dark, we found a leeward hill with some seabuckthorn forest, and An Yuanxi and I decided to rest here.

A fire was lit, and we huddled in front of it to keep warm.After eating a few more duck eggs, I saw An Yuanxi drooping his eyelids tiredly, and I knew he must be extremely sleepy.I carefully put the remaining duck eggs aside, pulled away the torn blanket, spread it on the ground and said, "You can sleep with a blanket tonight, I'll watch the fire."

"How can I do that, you are still sick, you need to have a good rest." An Yuanxi opened his eyes and flatly refused.I glared at him: "You didn't sleep much last night. If this goes on, hard-core people can't stand it. What if both of them are sick? Besides, I'm much better now."

"No." He shook his head, still refusing.I stared angrily, thought for a while, grabbed the blanket, walked to him and sat down next to him, An Yuanxi looked at me blankly: "Miss Ye..." I put the blanket over our two Wrapped around his body, he said: "Those two people are half of each other, so they should have nothing to say."

"Aw... woo..."

He opened his mouth to speak, and suddenly there was a long and shrill howl of a wolf in the distance. The "Woo" sound had just finished, and the second sound was followed by "Aw... woo..." I was taken aback. Could it be that there are wolves here? ?In the darkness, the panting sound of some kind of beast seemed to be heard, and a few green lights flashed away.Both An Yuanxi and I became nervous. I grabbed the wool blanket on my body and said in a trembling voice: "Keep the fire hotter, the beasts dare not approach the fire."

We stoked the fire, but no more sleep, fear gripped us.What should you do if you really encounter a wolf?It is impossible for An Yuanxi and I to deal with the most vicious animal on the grassland.There are two green lights in the distance, faintly flickering, moving towards us, the panting sound of the beast became heavier, as if it was ringing in our ears clearly.My hairs stood on end, and the two green lights moved closer, and the flames reflected the shapes of animals. A big gray wolf with black hair mixed with it was moving over quietly, standing not far away. Looking at us, his back hair stood up, and his eyes were shining with warning, as if he was ready to pounce on us at any time.
