Yesterday, it was very painful.
Today, the swelling has gone down and the pain is not as severe anymore.
Although he had never looked in the mirror, Ji Yuqi could imagine what he looked like and how funny he was.
So, from then on, Ji Yuqi kept covering her nose, even though Pei Yucheng's gaze did not move towards her face again.
The two of them sat in silence.
Ji Yuqi felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a long while, she covered herself with one hand while peeling away the wilted leaves and took out a wild wax gourd. "Would you like to eat some wild fruit?! It's not fully ripe yet, but it's edible."
Pei Yucheng had long noticed the wild fruit peels thrown in the campfire ashes.
Just a small piece.
At this moment, looking at the wild wax gourd handed to him by Ji Yuqi, his eyes darkened slightly.
It was at least twice as big as the one in the ashes.
To be precise, there were three wild fruits covered by leaves, each of which was bigger than it.
Ji Yuqi should have eaten the smallest one.
She kept all the big ones for him.
Seeing that Pei Yucheng hadn't taken over for a long time, Ji Yuqi couldn't figure out what he was thinking. After hesitating for a while, she took it back and carefully peeled the skin for him. "Just eat some. I went out for a long time yesterday and only found a wild wax gourd. Maybe there's nothing else to eat besides these wax gourds."
In fact, what Ji Yuqi wanted to say was that they didn’t know when they would be able to get out of this forest.
If he doesn't eat, and he's injured and bleeding so much, what if he can't hold on?
Pei Yucheng didn't hesitate anymore.
He took the wild fruit, took a bite, and ate it slowly.
Seeing Ji Yuqi immediately peeling the second wax melon and handing it to him, he said softly, "One is enough. I can't eat anything else."
Hearing this, Ji Yuqi immediately rewrapped the wax gourd and said, "It's easy to lose your appetite after a high fever. Let's save it for when we have an appetite again."
Pei Yucheng said, "It's so hot, and the skin has been peeled. If you leave it for a while, it will probably go bad."
Suddenly, Ji Yuqi stopped talking.
She naturally understood Pei Yucheng's subtext.
only.
Food in the forest is limited.
What if she eats the wax gourd and can't find food next time?!
Pei Yucheng must maintain his physical strength. If the warlords come after him and he doesn't have the strength, they will be killed in minutes.
In the end, Ji Yuqi still ate the wax gourd.
She took small bites and then told Pei Yucheng, "Drink the honey water."
Pei Yucheng's eyes lightly swept over the bowl with a missing mouth. As he threw the peel into the ash pile, he asked casually, "Where did you get your pot and bowl?!"
"..." Ji Yuqi didn't know how to answer. She felt extremely guilty, especially when she received Pei Yucheng's vaguely unfriendly gaze. She raised her hand to cover her nose again, trying to block Pei Yucheng's sight. She made an unclear sound in her throat, "~￥%%￥￥￥￥￥*"
"What did you say, Ji Yuqi?!"
"I just picked it up outside."
“…” Pei Yucheng.
…
Pei Yucheng said that before he led the guards to sneak into the warlord's base, he had looked at the topographic map. As long as the direction was accurate and they passed through the forest, they would reach a dock. At that time, someone would pick them up and send them back to their country.
So, when we set out, it was already dark.
Ji Yuqi was very worried about Pei Yucheng's health.
After all, the wound is so deep.
However, there was really no better way. Staying in the wooden house was just waiting to die.
Fortunately, Pei Yucheng's physical fitness is quite good.
We traveled for a whole day and night, stopping and starting frequently.
Pei Yucheng didn't have a fever anymore.
Ji Yuqi also checked the incision on the abdomen. It had scabbed over and was no longer bleeding.
Ji Yuqi couldn't help but think: As long as they can reach the dock safely, they will be safe.
The next evening.
It started raining again.
And the rain tends to get heavier.
Pei Yucheng suggested finding a place to shelter from the rain first.
Anyway, it’s not far from the pier.
Ji Yuqi had no objection and originally wanted to ask Pei Yucheng if there seemed to be a concave rock in front and if it could be used to temporarily shelter from the rain.
result.
The moment I turned around, I suddenly felt something twisting at my feet.
When he lowered his eyes and took a look, he was immediately terrified.
She was stiff for only three seconds, and then screamed miserably.
Originally, Pei Yucheng was standing about three meters away from her.
He was determining the direction of the dock based on the terrain, wind direction, and the direction each rain shower came from.
When he heard Ji Yuqi's shrill scream, he instinctively turned back.
and.
The woman who always stood still like a piece of wood when she met a warlord suddenly jumped eight feet high.
Not only agile.
And jumped onto him immediately.
Hanging like a koala.
Before Pei Yucheng could even ask what happened, she started crying and said, "Pei Yucheng, there's a snake. I just stepped on it. Woohoo~, it's so scary."
“…” Pei Yucheng.
Isn't it just a snake?!
Is it necessary to be more terrified than meeting a warlord?!
Of course, what made Pei Yucheng speechless was that the snake was frightened and ran faster than her, and disappeared without a trace.
result.
The woman, however, clung to him and refused to get down to the ground: "If there's one snake, there's bound to be another. What if I step on it and it bites me?!"
Pei Yucheng felt that what this woman said was too wrong. He lowered his eyes and looked at her in shock for several seconds before asking, "You are afraid of being bitten, but you are not afraid of me being bitten?!"
Feeling that Pei Yucheng seemed to be trying to take her off with force, Ji Yuqi subconsciously hugged his neck tighter: "You already have a hole in your stomach anyway, so you don't mind having two more holes in your feet."
"..." Pei Yucheng's face turned dark, and after a long while, he squeezed out a gnashing sound from his throat, "Don't you have any pain in your conscience, Ji Yuqi?!"
