Chapter 124: Blood-stained Buns



"To be honest, a few days ago, when Yunwen and I had to go look for the supreme treasure alone, she and I missed you very much. We missed the old days and thought about returning home early with our lives, reuniting together, playing or making noises, being happy or sad, experiencing things together, and overcoming the difficulties on the island together. We never thought that what we got in return was your indifference and another hurt from you. How should I put it? Maybe I didn't think so before, but now I really hate you." I said.

After these words, Song Yingchun fell silent, and I didn't say anything else. We walked back all the way, step by step, I supported her and she followed me.

Halfway through the walk, she suddenly said, "Brother Zhou Bo, my sister and I missed you a lot during the time you were away, but after you came back, I saw Zhang Yunwen being intimate with you and I got very angry. But you only had eyes for her and didn't see me at all, so I wanted to compete with her."

"We are on a deserted island, not the Grand View Garden. We don't have the time and energy for romance and intrigue. When we first came here, I told you that the slightest deviation in this place may lead to eternal separation. Don't you see the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts emerging in endlessly, and the dangerous places and dangerous passes one after another? Could you please put away your jealousy?" I said, shaking my head.

She also sighed, as if she understood what I said.

After returning to the residence, I handed Yingchun over to Bailu and explained the situation to her. She hurried to continue to treat the snake venom for Yingchun, and I immediately went over to see Yunwen's condition. But just as I was about to go over, Bailu stopped me and said, "You'd better not go in yet."

"W-why?" I wondered.

Bai Lu looked inside the adobe house and winked at me. I immediately bent down a little. She whispered in my ear, "Sister Yunwen's body can't stand the tossing and turning. She just woke up. If you go in, it will stimulate her. Wait for me to comfort her for a while, and then you can go see her."

I scratched my hair in annoyance, feeling very unhappy, but I held back for the sake of Yunwen's safety.

"Okay, you take care of her and make more medicine for her. Don't be stingy with me. I'm going to apologize to her today. I'll go collect some delicious fruits later. She likes peaches and peach branches, so I'll pick more and bring them back. You can make snacks for her when I get back. As the saying goes, peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and people are buried under plum trees. Eating more peaches can also nourish people, right?" I asked.

"Yes, go ahead. The earlier you go, the earlier you come back." Bai Lu said.

I nodded, put on my backpack, and prepared to set off with the scrap-like Jinque Sword in my hand. However, at this moment, Bai Lu came over and grabbed me. I turned around and asked nervously, "You still haven't told me something? Tell me, what happened to Yunwen?"

She chuckled, shook her head and said, "What are you thinking? You are going to throw us into that underground factory, how dare I hide it from you? I just want to say thank you for treating the snake venom for Yingchun in time and not letting her die of poisoning because of your anger. I heard that you sucked up the poisonous blood with your mouth without hesitation, right? It should have been better to put some film for protection."

"You are my teammates and my partners. Of course I have to stand up for you when you are in danger. This is nothing. Okay, Yunwen is okay. Please take good care of her for me. I'm leaving." I said.

After saying that, I turned around and left with my bag on my back. I had to quickly find a way to make Yunwen regain her confidence in me and stop being angry with me.

I went to the mountains to collect peaches. I picked some peaches and broke off some peach branches and put them in my backpack. During the trip, I saw some wild berries. Yunwen and I ate these and chewed steamed buns made of wild wheat when we had nothing to eat at the post station to survive. I wanted to pick some. When she sees them, she will think of the past and will understand my intentions to some extent.

After collecting and chatting for a while, I put a lot of food in my pocket, including food for the horse, and went back. When passing by the pond, I deliberately looked at my reflection in the water. There was no change. It was much better than the pale and thin look I had seen in the past few days. It was plump and full of vigor. I glanced at the Jinque Sword in my hand, and it seemed that I had understood some rules.

It won't absorb energy from me at will, otherwise I would feel weak again.

As I was preparing to go back, I suddenly had a thought. It had been more than ten days since the nine-tailed white fox was killed by the monster Joseph. Not only did I not avenge it, I also hadn't gone back to visit them. I really felt bad about it.

So I avoided the road that passed by the pond to reach my residence on the hillside, and instead turned a corner to the earthen slope where there used to be many red foxes. I walked through here and came to the edge of an iron fence. I followed it and soon saw the large playground and the earthen tower surrounded by it. Going further, I reached the place where the helicopter crashed, which was near the main electrical box.

Nearby was the place where the nine-tailed white fox and its brothers and sisters were killed. I looked over there and saw the corpses still lying there, still lying in the same mess. They died in the summer, so they had already rotted within two to three days. Now it has been more than ten days, and the stench of corpses has already spread all over the place. I felt sad when I saw it, and secretly made up my mind.

I will never let go of that monster hiding underground! If I don't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman!

After I got back, Bai Lu was cooking soup. When she saw me come back, she hurried over to greet me and told me that Yunwen had passed the critical period and was recovering. I felt relieved.

Afterwards, I saw Bailu busy carrying medicine in and out, and then she went back into the house with washed fruits and peach branches I had broken. When she came out again, she shook me, looking helpless, and said, "She broke the peach branches, and she didn't eat the raspberries and peaches. I explained everything to her, but she didn't want to listen. You should try to stay away from her recently to avoid her getting angry, okay?"

I sighed and could only reply, "Well, as long as she gets better."

Today was a particularly busy day for Bailu, and Yingchun was also recuperating, so I helped to burn firewood and light the fire. She didn't have time to prepare so much food, so she just heated up the leftover buns from this morning. Of the prepared dishes, she left two big buns and a plate of mixed vegetables and pickles, and brought the rest into the earthen house for the two patients and herself, leaving me alone to eat outside.

Although the dough on the bun was torn off, there were still some blood stains that had not been dealt with in time. These were the blood that spurted out when Yunwen was angry in the morning. I tore it off and looked at it in the moonlight for a long time.

The girls were talking in the house with a fire on. Occasionally, I could hear Yunwen's voice. It was a little weak, but at least it had more confidence and a pleasant voice, which was especially clear. But now I could only listen through the wall.

After I finished eating, I put the plate back and lay down on the cotton cloak draped on the ground outside. I thought about how I could let Yunwen sleep with her pillow on me the past two days, but today I have to be left alone outside to feed mosquitoes and enjoy the moonlight.

"I raise my cup to invite the bright moon, and our shadow make three people. The moon doesn't know how to drink, and the shadow just follows me." I recited Li Bai's poem in bitterness and boredom.

At this time, Yingchun came out of the house and sat next to me. I felt a little relieved, but I still felt sorry that it was not Yunwen who came.

"Hey, lonely poet, if you have any grievances, please tell me," Yingchun said to me.

"I'm not angry at all. I just made her angry, and now I feel guilty and don't know how to deal with it." I said.

Yingchun sighed, then took my hand and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Have you forgotten? I promised you that I would teach you how to use this Golden Sword in a Taoist way. No matter what, you have fulfilled your promise to me, and I should also fulfill my promise and teach you everything I have learned." Song Yingchun winked at me and said.
