One drop!
Two drops!
The warm liquid slowly fell on Shangguan Wanning's face. She smelled the fishy smell in the wolf's mouth, but the expected pain did not come.
She finally had the courage to open her eyes.
With a "thump", the wolf rolled down, lay on the side, twitched twice, and then became motionless.
Shangguan Wanning raised her head and saw a man holding a torch, looking at her calmly and indifferently.
She was still frightened and barely supported herself to get up. When she saw the other person clearly, she was stunned.
It turned out to be Sun Jinyao.
"It's you?" Shangguan Wanning's eyes showed a look of joy.
After all, it was a miracle to meet someone she knew and had the ability to save her in such an environment.
Sun Jinyao didn't say anything. He walked to the wolf and tested it with his toes. After making sure it was dead, he put the bloody dagger back into the sheath and turned to walk to the other side.
Shangguan Wanning felt bored when she saw that Sun Jinyao had no intention of paying attention to her, so she hurried over to check on Lu Tong who had fainted from fright.
She tried to help Lutong up. She didn't expect that the girl, who looked so frail, actually had some strength.
Shangguan Wanning looked at Sun Jinyao for help with tears in her eyes.
Sun Jinyao could see it out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was beating fast.
He recalled the warmth of Shangguan Wanning's help when he was at the lowest point in his life. Although she was dressed as a man at that time, he still recognized her at the first sight.
"She's fine. She won't die. Rest here for a night and we'll talk after dawn."
After Sun Jinyao finished speaking, he gathered a pile of licorice and lit a bonfire.
The firelight not only warmed up Shangguan Wanning's body temperature, but also calmed her heart.
She looked at the vicious wolf and was still a little scared, so she held Lu Tong and sat as far away from it as possible.
Shangguan Wanning secretly went to see Sun Jinyao, this young man had completely lost his youthfulness and cynicism.
The indifference and sharpness he exuded now was just like Mu Jingrui when she first met him after she woke up from her rebirth.
"You...long time no see, how are you?" Shangguan Wanning tried to make small talk to break the awkward silence.
Sun Jinyao didn't respond, but just fiddled with the campfire.
Shangguan Wanning touched her nose awkwardly.
"Gulp! Gulp!"
The sound of hunger became particularly loud in the silent night. Shangguan Wanning could not control her stomach and was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Sun Jinyao glanced at her indifferently, walked to the dead wolf, pulled out the dagger again, cut off a piece of meat and roasted it.
After a long time, he handed the wolf meat and the dagger to Shangguan Wanning.
"Eat it."
Shangguan Wanning was startled. She swallowed and looked up at Sun Jinyao, feeling a little at a loss.
"Don't dare to eat?" Sun Jinyao raised the corners of his lips and raised a scornful smile.
Shangguan Wanning's stubbornness was aroused. She stood up and tried her best to look Sun Jinyao in the eye. She snatched the wolf meat from his hand and took a big bite.
A strange taste spread in her mouth. She chewed it a few times and swallowed it with difficulty.
Sun Jinyao turned around and smiled calmly.
What kind of girl is she?
As the sky gradually brightened, Lutong woke up slowly. The memories of last night flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but scream out.
"Miss..."
"I'm here." Shangguan Wanning walked over and tapped Lutong's forehead gently, smiling, "You said you would bite me to protect me, but you fainted first."
Lu Tong felt wronged as she touched the place where Shangguan Wan Ning had hit her, and said in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, Miss. From now on..."
Before Lu Tong could finish her words, she saw Sun Jinyao walking towards her and opened her mouth in surprise.
"It's already daybreak. No matter where you want to go, I advise you to take the main road. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next night."
"But..." Shangguan Wanning hesitated, "I want to get to Medicine King Valley as soon as possible..."
Sun Jinyao was stunned. "What are you going to Yaowang Valley for?"
"Seek medical advice."
"Give up on that idea. That old monster won't heal anyone."
Shangguan Wanning heard the hidden meaning in Sun Jinyao's words and hurriedly grabbed him as he was about to leave. "Do you know Lu Xiangzi, the genius doctor from Yaowang Valley?"
Sun Jinyao did not answer, neither admitting nor denying.
The truth is, he didn't know how to answer that.
Since his family was broken up, Sun Jinyao had nowhere to go. He wandered around and experienced the fickleness of the world.
Once he encountered robbers, and he was not in the mood to fight and was ambushed. He thought he was dead, but when he woke up, he was already in Yaowang Valley.
Sun Jinyao didn't know why Lu Xiangzi wanted to save him, and even wanted him to stay in Yaowang Valley to learn medicine, astrology, divination, astronomy, geography, and some other miscellaneous things from him.
He refused to learn, so Lu Xiangzi beat him until he agreed to learn.
Gradually, Sun Jinyao got used to this kind of life and regarded Yaowang Valley as his home.
However, he found that Lu Xiangzi had a very strange temper, and if outsiders approached Yaowang Valley, it would be like stepping on his tail.
"Can you take me to Yaowang Valley to see Lu Xiangzi?"
"Not good." Sun Jinyao said, turning around and leaving.
Shangguan Wanning opened her arms in a hurry to block Sun Jinyao. "Mr. Sun, for the sake of our acquaintance, I beg you. If you can't find a miracle doctor to treat my mother, she... I don't want to lose my mother."
Shangguan Wanning's persistence reminded Sun Jinyao of his mother.
If it weren't for protecting him, his mother wouldn't have committed suicide.
"Young Master Sun..."
"good."
Sun Jinyao looked at Shangguan Wanning's clear eyes, and his heart softened involuntarily.
Shangguan Wanning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If my mother can be treated by Dr. Lu, I will definitely repay you for this kindness in the future."
Sun Jinyao didn't make any response. He blew a whistle, and a white horse came running over.
The three of them packed up simply and rode their horses towards Medicine King Valley.
With Sun Jinyao's guidance, the journey was safe and sound, and they arrived outside the Yaowang Valley in the evening of the second day.
"Eat this."
Sun Jinyao took out two red pills from the pouch on his waist.
Shangguan Wanning was about to pick it up to eat, but Lu Tong tugged at her sleeve. "Miss, don't..."
"The valley is full of traps and miasma. If you don't take precautions in advance, you won't be able to enter the valley at all..."
Before Sun Jinyao could finish his words, Shangguan Wanning had already swallowed the pill.
"Don't worry, I believe in Master Sun." As she said that, Shangguan Wanning also fed the pill into Lutong's mouth.
The three of them walked forward for a while. At first, the air was damp, cold and scary. After about an incense stick of time, the scenery ahead suddenly became clear.
