Chapter 449 Extra Promise
"Little grass".
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He wanted to stand up and go with Ye Cao, but he had no strength at all. By the time he spoke again, Ye Cao had already left the cave.
Ye Cao was worried about Liu Wenshu, so she didn't dare to go too far. She searched around and found only a few wild eggs, some edible wild vegetables, and a little bit of herbs.
Then they quickly headed back.
When they reached the cave entrance, they called out and heard a noise inside before going in.
Then he saw a dead snake lying at Liu Wenshu's feet and exclaimed, "Are you alright?"
Liu Wen, the scholar, said with a sigh, "I'm fine, I'm just a non-venomous rat snake. Since you're back, you can add a dish for the two of us."
The snake crawled over after Ye Cao left, scaring him half to death, but thankfully it wasn't poisonous.
Leafy grass: ...
"I found some wild eggs, but unfortunately I couldn't find any pheasants, otherwise I could have made a dragon and phoenix soup."
After Ye Cao finished speaking, she stopped talking. Her throat felt like it had a razor blade in it, and it hurt terribly whenever she spoke.
She gathered some dry firewood and started a fire.
"You can even start a fire?" Liu Wenshu asked curiously.
Ye Cao didn't even look up. "I grew up in the village. If I didn't know this, I would have starved to death long ago."
When she was a child, if she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, she would build a fire and roast grasshoppers to eat.
"Back then, the three of us sisters, except for my brother, were all starving. My youngest sister..."
"It's not that my younger sister is bad, it's just that she was too timid back then, and my older sister was timid too. I was selfish; I wouldn't share any of the food I found with Yaozu, but the two of them would..."
She didn't know when her younger sister had changed, but when she saw her again, it was as if she had become a completely different person.
Over the years, Ye Cao has read many bizarre stories and has no desire to recall anything about Ye Wan.
Sometimes, late at night, I think of that crybaby and feel sad. I wonder how that crybaby is doing now. I hope she's living a good life somewhere else.
Ye Cao spoke softly of the past, and the pile of firewood beneath her hands began to smoke. The air was damp, and the thick smoke became increasingly choking. It was only with great difficulty that a flame was finally lit.
There was very little usable firewood; she searched for a long time.
Liu Wenshu listened to Ye Cao talk about the past without saying anything. When he first met Ye Wan, she wasn't like this at all.
So many years have passed, and he has actually forgotten what Ye Wan looked like back then. He only remembers that she stood in the shade and smiled quite beautifully.
Their connection began when they bought pears, and Ye Wan gave him some as a gift before he left.
His feelings for her had actually been gone for a long time, but he just found it hard to accept that the two of them were sisters.
Ye Cao processed the snake and roasted it, and also roasted the wild eggs.
The aroma of meat slowly wafted over.
The two sat around the fire, their clothes half-dry, just sitting there warming themselves. No one knows how Ye Cao survived the night.
"Eat, this is burnt, I'll eat it."
Ye Cao pulled out an egg and handed it to Liu Wenshu, while she took one that had burst open.
Actually, it can be eaten raw, but she's been living a too-affluent life these past few years and finds it too fishy.
"I'll eat the cracked one, you can have the whole one," Liu Wenshu said, wanting to trade with Ye Cao.
Ye Cao refused, "You don't know, this one smells better. Who knows if yours is ripe or not?"
Yecao blew on the wild eggs while eating them.
She looked up and found Liu Wenshu staring intently at her.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised that I didn't go easy on you?" Ye Cao laughed.
When she went outside, she washed the mud off her face. She thought to herself that she must look pretty smiling now.
"No, this is better." Liu Wenshu withdrew his gaze.
He bent down to pick up the scalding hot wild eggs.
Despite her sore throat, Ye Cao said, "Actually, it tastes best when roasted in the fire, but for now we can only make do with this. We'll also eat a couple of bites of these wild vegetables if we can."
"you……"
Just as Liu Wenshu was about to speak, Ye Cao suddenly touched Liu Wenshu's mouth with her finger.
"Your place is dirty, let me wipe it for you." (Leafy)
Liu Wenshu's ears immediately turned red.
Ye Cao chuckled, "Young master, you look so pitiful, it makes me want to bully you."
Isn't he just like a frail scholar in a storybook who has fallen on hard times? His pale face makes him look so pitiful.
It's a pity the two of them were so down on their luck; otherwise, it would have been a great place to cultivate their relationship.
"Eat quickly, that snake is about to burn."
"I almost forgot."
After the two had filled their stomachs, Ye Cao went to find some water to drink and brought back two leaves for Liu Wenshu to drink.
Unfortunately, there were no utensils for boiling water in the cave, so the two of them could only drink tap water. Hopefully, they wouldn't get an upset stomach later.
After filling their stomachs and seeing that the rain outside had stopped, Ye Cao was happy that the two of them could leave when she noticed that Liu Wenshu had become drowsy and motionless.
The moment it touched her, it burned so much that she pulled her hand back.
"Why is it burning so badly?"
Liu Wenshu wanted to speak, and tried hard to open his eyelids, but he simply couldn't.
He could hear someone talking incessantly beside him; it was Ye Cao.
He wanted to tell them to ignore him and go back first.
"Please don't let it make you stupid, or I won't like you anymore."
Ye Cao regretted it now; Ye Wan had given her a lot of medicine when she left, but she hadn't taken it with her.
She wanted to save Liu Wenshu, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only grit her teeth and take off his pants.
Upon seeing the pale wound, her face also turned pale.
When she asked Liu Wenshu, he said it was nothing serious, even though the wound had reached the bone.
The wound was in an awkward location, almost up to my thigh. No wonder he wouldn't show it to me before, but he did show it to me now.
Ye Cao had learned a little bit of medicine, and she had also gathered some medicinal herbs on her way here, which she applied to Liu Wenshu's wound.
She gritted her teeth and felt around her chest, finally finding the small gourd hanging around her neck. She poured out a pill and fed it to Liu Wenshu, then pulled the trembling man into her arms.
"Oh, I must have owed you something in my past life, and I'm here to pay it off in this one."
This is life-saving medicine! Ye Wan said she wasn't allowed to give it to anyone. She specially found a jade gourd and hung it around her neck. Luckily, it was hanging around her neck.
"Liu Wenshu, please don't die! You just said we'd get married when we get back. Do you mean it?"
"Don't sleep, are you going to keep your word?"
The person in my arms was unresponsive and was getting colder and colder.
Large tears fell from the blade of grass.
"Liu Wenshu, make me a promise: live a good life, okay?"
"Liu Wenshu, don't die."
