Xiao Yunzhan frowned slightly as he ate, his eyes sweeping over Lin Yiran's face intentionally or unintentionally.
If I could get some watermelon seeds...
Lin Yiran slurped down a piece of watermelon, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Yunzhan staring at her.
"Hey, this piece is yours too, take it..."
Lin Yiran resisted the urge to roll her eyes and handed the remaining piece of watermelon on the ground to Xiao Yunzhan.
This guy is really something, why is he so protective of his food?
He hadn't finished eating yet, but he kept staring at her, so she ate a little faster.
She ate fast because she was worried that the watermelon juice would drip down. As long as she ate fast enough, the watermelon juice would not have time to drip down.
Xiao Yunzhan was slightly stunned, until he saw Lin Yiran's slightly impatient look, he hurriedly reached out to take the watermelon, "Thank you."
Lin Yiran waved her hand nonchalantly, holding her stomach and burping.
After the two little guys took a bite of a piece of watermelon, they leaned on the quilt, smacking their lips with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
The second sister-in-law ate two pieces and her stomach was very full. She smiled and stood up to sort out the firewood that Xiao Yunzhan dragged in.
Eat and drink enough and do some work to help digest the food.
After burping twice, Lin Yiran pulled over two pieces of wood and started to make a fire.
She is very strong and can make fire by rubbing two sticks together and flames will appear in no time.
Even though there was a fire starter in the space, she was too lazy to take it out and use it.
She just wanted to make fire by rubbing two sticks together. It felt like she was a savage and it was very cool.
After eating, the eldest and third sisters-in-law got busy preparing for the roasted wild boar meat...
.........
"Boss, we've looked, but there's no water nearby. Two of the mountain springs are dry and cracked, with no water at all."
Jiang Xu spoke with a hoarse voice, and it was extremely difficult for him to speak. Every word he said felt like someone was cutting his throat with a knife.
His face was flushed red, his hair was sticky and piled on his head, emitting an unpleasant stench.
The clothes on his body were already patinated by wear, and they were wet and dry at times. The hem of his robe was torn into strips, and he looked as miserable as could be.
Tears welled up in Du Tianli's eyes as he looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky.
He cursed in his heart, why the damn sun hasn't set yet? He might as well be baked to death.
He had experienced thirst, hunger and fatigue all over the place during this period of time.
"Rest here, go find some wild fruits and vegetables nearby, kill some wild animals and drink their blood..."
Du Tianli pursed his cracked lips. He was dressed in tattered clothes, looked haggard, and looked listless.
At this moment, he no longer had the high-spirited look he had before, and his throat hurt if he said even one more word.
He just wanted to lie on the ground and wait for food and drink, waiting for the Xiao family to fall into his trap.
Du Tianli prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the Xiao family could be intercepted by Commander Zhao and never let them encounter him.
He brought with him a hundred imperial guards, and many of them were killed along the way. Including those who were injured and sent back early, there were a total of 39 people missing.
Now there are only 61 people left, he is leading 30 people, and there are 30 people behind him.
Du Tianli glanced around and looked at his exhausted subordinate lying on the ground, and sighed heavily.
If they encountered the Xiao family's private soldiers like this, it would be no different from committing suicide.
As a royal palace guard, I never thought that I would end up in such a miserable situation.
Du Tianli was so upset that he almost cried. He smoothed his tangled beard, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the treetop at a 45-degree angle.
"........good...."
Looking at Du Tianli whose butt didn't move at all, Jiang Xu's sword trembled and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Everyone was exhausted, and every time they took a break, they would go looking for food. Only Du Tianli really took a break every time.
After everyone had worked hard to find food and just breathed a sigh of relief after eating, Du Tianli, the dog, had rested enough and said he wanted to get on with his journey.
Damn it, only Du Tianli is a human being who needs to rest. They are all ghosts. They don’t need to rest. Just being able to float is enough, right?
Jiang Xu gritted his teeth, glared at Du Tianli hatefully, and turned to look at his half-dead brothers.
"Let's go find something to eat..."
"Why...."
The exhausted palace guards wailed again, and helplessly got up in twos and threes and walked into the woods.
It’s so hot today, and most of the wild fruits on the trees have been eaten by birds and animals.
Birds and animals are not stupid either. If they have no water to drink, they will definitely find some wild fruits to eat to quench their thirst.
Jiang Xu endured the pain in his feet and searched around, but couldn't find any wild fruits.
There were even fewer wild animals. Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, and all the wild animals in the mountains had hidden themselves away.
There were so many wild beasts in the two mountains before, and they fought very hard, and the edges of their swords were all broken.
If he had known that the mountains behind were so barren, he would have dragged all the wild boars he had killed with him, so he wouldn't be starving now.
"Damn it, anyone with the last name Du is a dog..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xu couldn't help but curse Du Tianli.
"Brother Jiang, I caught a wild rabbit, but it's a little thin because it's hungry."
Just when Jiang Xu was secretly cursing Du Tianli, his good brother Sang Dasheng covered himself with his robe, quietly moved to Jiang Xu's side, and showed him his gains.
Jiang Xu's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out and pulled down Sang Dasheng's robe to cover the rabbit, then looked around vigilantly.
"Shh, don't make a sound, let's move over there and find a safe place..."
Jiang Xu pointed to a small hill in the distance and winked at Sang Dasheng.
Such a small wild rabbit was not enough for the two of them to eat. If they took it back, it would definitely be eaten by Du Tianli alone.
When they are stupid, whoever is willing to support Du Tianli can go, but he is not happy.
Sang Dasheng grinned and nodded quickly. He had the same idea, otherwise he would not have come to find his good brother.
He didn't dare to eat secretly by himself for fear of being discovered.
It’s safer to have good brothers to cover for you.
Jiang Xu and Sang Dasheng slowly moved towards the hill and soon left behind their teammates who were like zombies.
The two men hid behind a small hill and drained the hare's blood.
You and I held the rabbit, spitting out blood.
The two of them were gagging and retching, and they had to cover their mouths tightly, not daring to vomit too loudly.
It is a bit nauseating, but at least it quenches thirst and is a great tonic.
After sucking the blood, one of them stood guard while the other slaughtered the rabbit, made a fire, and roasted the rabbit.
Fortunately, it was still daylight and they were relatively far away from the main force, so no one noticed their little tricks.
After Jiang Xu and Sang Dasheng finished eating the tasteless wild rabbit, they picked some wild vegetables and chewed them to prevent others from smelling the odor.
Du Tianli collapsed on a big rock, looking up at the sky. It was not until it got dark that he heard the sounds of his men returning one after another.
He was so angry that he wanted to curse. He had been searching for food for so long that he was almost starving to death.
When Du Tianli saw his men handing him a handful of wilted wild vegetables, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Regardless of the pain in his throat, Du Tianli forced himself to scold his men one by one.
It took me half a day to bring back some wild vegetables for him to feed the ducks.
