Chapter 49 I will be responsible]
"Miss Chen!" Jiang Shuo saw this and quickly reached out to support her.
Chen Fenghe felt completely powerless and could only lie limp in his arms involuntarily, feeling almost mortified.
She is a special forces soldier, but she can't even stand steadily!
Jiang Shuo could feel the heat from her body and couldn't help but get anxious: "Miss Chen, you have a fever! Is the snake venom not completely gone? I'll carry you down the mountain to find a doctor now..."
Chen Fenghe shook her head weakly and said weakly: "It's not...snake venom. You...you help me go outside and get wet in the rain, and it will be fine..."
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment: "Getting wet in the rain? Miss Shen, you have a high fever. It's not appropriate to go out in the rain now, right?"
Chen Fenghe gasped in pain, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but scold, "If I ask you to help me out, then get out. I know my limits!"
Jiang Shuo felt the hot air from her breath hitting his neck, and he felt a little...at a loss.
After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to help Chen Fenghe go outside.
The cold rain immediately poured down on my head, but fortunately there was no hail like during the day.
The clothes of the two were quickly soaked by the rain, and the bone-chilling cold finally cooled the surging heat in Shen Fenghe's body.
After regaining some consciousness, she sat down against the rocks at the cave entrance and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang. Please return to the cave to avoid the rain."
Jiang Shuo looked at her symptoms and seemed to have guessed something, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
He shook his head and said, "It's okay. The young lady is weak now. How can I abandon her for the sake of temporary comfort?"
Seeing that he insisted, Chen Fenghe let him do as he pleased.
Jiang Shuo saw that her clothes were all soaked, and her fair skin could be faintly seen through, so he quickly looked away.
The rain continued all night, until the sky, which was revealed between the dense mountain trees, began to turn slightly white. Only then did Chen Fenghe feel the heat in her body dissipating with the rain.
Jiang Shuo looked at the sky and said, "Miss Chen, take a rest for a while. I'll be back soon."
Just as Chen Fenghe was about to stop him, he had already quickly disappeared into the forest.
Chen Fenghe sighed and struggled to stand up, intending to go back to the cave and wring out the moisture from her damp, cold clothes...
Maybe take out some dry firewood from the space and make a fire to dry the clothes?
After thinking about it, she shook her head and gave up the idea.
Jiang Shuo may come back at any time. How will I explain it then?
It would be better to wait until I part with him before entering the space directly.
Just as she was about to go in, she happened to see some wild ginger growing near the cave.
Considering that the two of them had been caught in the rain all night, drinking some ginger tea was the best way to ward off the cold.
Even if she couldn't make a fire now, she would pick some more and give them to Jiang Shuo later as a way to thank him for his help last night.
After tossing and turning all night, Chen Fenghe took out some chocolate from the space and ate it to replenish his energy, and then rolled up his sleeves and started working.
In a short while, she had dug up a lot of wild ginger.
In addition to wild ginger, because it had just rained, a lot of mushrooms popped up like bamboo shoots after the rain, so she naturally picked them as well.
When Jiang Shuo came back, Chen Fenghe had already picked quite a few.
Jiang Shuo was carrying a bundle of dry firewood on his shoulders, and he had chopped a bamboo stick as thick as his arm and was dragging it with him. He was also holding four fish in his hands. When he saw the wild ginger and mushrooms in the cave, he was a little stunned.
"You have a fever and have been caught in the rain all night. You should rest up. Why are you bothering to pick these?"
Chen Fenghe smiled and said, "They are all near the cave. It would be a shame not to pick them. But where did you find the dry firewood, Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Shuo listened and put the dry firewood on the ground, saying, "I looked in some places blocked by big rocks to see if there were any old tree roots or anything like that that got wet, so I cut some. Girl, please wait a moment. I'll make a fire now so that I can dry my clothes a little. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."
As he spoke, he had already started a fire.
Then, he cut the bamboo pole into several sections, keeping the bamboo joint at one end and the other end. In this way, the hollow bamboo can be used instead of a pot to boil hot water.
When Shen Fenghe saw this, she couldn't help but look at this man with admiration.
It seems that he has a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild, which is consistent with his identity as a hunter.
However, if it really belonged to the hunter, how could he explain his skillful ability in restraining her last night?
However, although curious, Shen Fenghe did not ask.
They met by chance and would soon go their separate ways. They might not have the chance to see each other again in the future. As long as he had no intention of harming her, why should she delve into his affairs?
Chen Fenghe volunteered to take the bamboo tube to fetch water outside so that she could take the opportunity to change it to spiritual spring water.
There was no pollution in ancient times. Not to mention the water from mountain streams, even the water from the river was directly taken and drunk by people like them who were exiled or on the road.
But it had just rained, and the amount of water was a bit higher, so it carried some mud and sand, so it was better to drink the spiritual spring water.
Jiang Shuo originally refused, but Chen Fenghe insisted and asked him to clean the fish, so Jiang Shuo agreed.
Soon, Chen Fenghe came back and washed a few pieces of wild ginger, cut them into thin slices, put them into a bamboo tube, put them on the fire and started cooking.
Jiang Shuo only caught two of the four fish. The bamboo tube was too small to make fish soup, so he skewered the fish with branches and roasted them.
While waiting for the food to cook, the two men moved closer to the fire and dried their wet clothes.
The sky was bright and without the cover of the night, the wet clothes stuck tightly to Shen Fenghe's body, outlining her graceful figure clearly.
Jiang Shuo's eyes darkened, he coughed twice, and left with an excuse: "I...it's a bit stuffy in the cave, I'm going outside to get some fresh air."
Shen Fenghe looked at him puzzledly.
Boring? Yeah.
Although the firewood was blocked by large rocks and was not very dry, it still emitted bursts of black smoke when it burned, which was indeed a bit choking.
Chen Fenghe ignored him and continued to roast the fire.
When the fish was almost done grilling and the wild ginger soup had boiled, she called Jiang Shuo in and poured each of them a cup of ginger soup with a bamboo tube, and they started eating it with the grilled fish.
I have to say, after a night of cold rain, drinking a sip of hot soup and eating a grilled fish, I felt satisfied both physically and mentally.
Although the clothes underneath my body were still wet, I could only endure this situation.
After they had eaten, they put out the fire and prepared to get up and go down the mountain.
Chen Fenghe disappeared for a whole night. I’m afraid the officials have already suspected that she had escaped?
Thinking about how Qin Mengyue, Yichuan Qingxing Haoer and others would be treated because of her 'escape', she felt a little anxious.
Jiang Shuo asked, "Where are Miss Shen's family members? I'll take her back."
Chen Fenghe immediately became alert: "You... send me back?"
She disappeared in this desolate mountain area for a night, and was then sent back by a stranger. Doesn't this definitely arouse suspicion?
Jiang Shuo looked at her, nodded solemnly, and said, "Yes. Don't worry, young lady, I will take responsibility."
