After feeding it several times, the tranquilizing medicine soup was finally digested. She saw that his condition was a little better, his frown was a little relaxed, and his fever and restlessness had improved. However, he was still mumbling some horrible words, such as headless friend, hanged friend and so on. They were probably the horrible images projected by Song Bailu when he used the Gate of Life and Death.
I felt distressed, thinking that no matter what, I could not easily trust the Song sisters again. After Yunwen recovered from her illness, I planned to reconsider my future arrangements. I could not stay here any longer.
Wherever there are people, there will be trouble and disaster. People can be friends and enemies. People can save people and can also eat people. On a deserted island, outside the law, human nature has long been untrustworthy. This is the experience gained from countless bitter experiences.
At this moment, Yunwen suddenly muttered something strange: "Lord Lingchi, Lord Executioner, please forgive me. I don't want to be burned to death again. Please let me go. I am sorry to my mermaid brothers. I shouldn't have refined the flesh and blood of your relatives. I am guilty. It is my fault. I am the Blood Eye Wu Clan. Please spare my life. From now on, I can teach the elders to be immortal and live as long as the sky. The two clans can share the joy. Isn't it wonderful? Ah! Don't come over! Don't you understand? I am the high priest. I can't die. I can't...ah!!"
Yunwen suddenly began to scream wildly again, her voice filled with a sense of extreme despair, as if her body was really being burned by flames. She screamed and groaned continuously, and soon rolled on the ground, slapping and touching herself all over her body, screaming in pain.
There were bone fragments, bone spurs, and fish bones on the ground, which were all left by the mermaids who crushed them nearby. She was immediately given several small wounds. I hurried over to hold her down and told her not to move. Her hands tightly grasped my arm, almost digging into my flesh. The pain made me grit my teeth.
Not long after, she calmed down a little and looked a little more relaxed. I then carried her back to the bedroom, got a basin of clean water, and helped deal with the bone fragments. They were all on the delicate skin of Yunwen's back. I could only embarrassedly uncover Yunwen's underwear and take them out one by one. I also washed the small wounds with clean water and got some of the herbs that Bailu had prepared for me in the morning to wipe her wounds with the herbal juice.
I have to say that she has maintained her figure very well. Even after eating a lot of meat and fish for nearly a month, she has not gained any weight at all. She still has a snake-like waist, but her skin is much more delicate, fair and translucent, which makes me drool.
After finishing, I helped Yunwen turn over again so that she could lie comfortably. While holding her in my arms, I could hear her calling my name over and over again. Her soft and gentle voice was so soft and delicate, and the fragrance of orchids was refreshing.
Finally we settled down. I covered her with a fur blanket. The stove next to us was burning brightly, so the heat in the room was still warm enough.
What she shouted just now should be the last cry of the Blood Eye High Priest Antelope Witch before her death. Because Bai Lu's Blood Eyes were inherited from the crystals left after the Antelope Witch's corpse was burned, the crystal toxins infected her body. Therefore, when Bai Lu controlled the Blood Eyes to perform the Gate of Life and Death, it would inevitably bring out the memories of the old master. Therefore, Yunwen unintentionally witnessed everything in the illusion of the Gate of Life and Death, and it was from the first person perspective, which was why she shouted like that.
but.
"I remember hearing Yunwen shouting about the mermaid tribe just now. Could it be that those people whose legs and feet are represented by dotted lines are the so-called mermaids? The ugly monster is also a mermaid, are they related? In addition, I only saw executioners holding axes on the murals, and I didn't see any other characters. Then who is Lord Lingchi?" I couldn't help but think about it.
Don't think too much about it. Yunwen has finally rested, and I should also close my eyes and take a rest. Otherwise, I will not have the energy to deal with the Song sisters tomorrow. If that happens, I will also be hit by the gate of life and death, and I guess Yunwen and I will be completely ruined.
It's so late now. Besides, it's tied to a pillar not far from me. If there is any danger, it will be more alert than me. If the mermaid attacks, I will basically know it at the first time. So it should be okay to rest for a while.
Placing the bow and arrow beside me, I was afraid that I would fall into a deep sleep, so I prepared to take a rest with my hands under my head on the dining table. But then I noticed that there was still some broth and some ribs left in the pot. My stomach had been rumbling with hunger for a long time, so I thought I would eat them first and return them to the sisters later. So I chewed up two or three ribs and drank up the soup. Then I put everything under the table, rinsed my mouth, and went to sleep with my hands under my head.
I slept until dawn and woke up yawning. My back and waist were really sore from the sleep.
Everything around was normal, the horse was safe, but Yunwen slept very uneasily, perhaps she had nightmares again that night. The animal skin covering her body fell to the ground, and she was curled up, shivering from the cold. I hurried over to cover her with the animal skin, and added some firewood to the stove next to the bed. The temperature increased, and she felt a little better, but she was still neurasthenic, her palpitations worsened, and her body was weak. In addition, she caught a cold last night, and seemed to have a cold and fever.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door outside, and I immediately picked up the bow and arrow. At this time, Bai Lu's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Zhou Bo, I'm here to diagnose a disease, can you come in?"
"I'm holding a bow. If you dare to have any bad ideas, I will shoot an arrow immediately. Come in," I said.
Then there was a sigh from Bai Lu, who hadn't even entered the room yet, and said in disappointment, "Do we really have to get to this point?"
"I want to live, and I also want Yunwen to live. This is the only thing I can do," I said.
Not long after, I heard Bai Lu making sparse noises outside the door, like cloth rubbing back and forth. She must be blindfolding herself. In fact, as long as she sees me, her blood-red eyes can cast the Gate of Life and Death. Even if she only sees my back, she can immediately use radiation to open the aura in my body, unlock the gate, invade with her own thoughts, and control life and death with illusions. Therefore, what I can be careful about is to let her not see where I am, to doubt and coerce Yingchun, and make her dare not have such thoughts.
Click, the door opened. As expected, she was blindfolded and came in with the support of Yingchun. To prevent accidents, my bow was always aimed at Yingchun's heart. Yingchun was frightened and didn't dare to look at me.
"Brother Zhou Bo, my sister and I were both frozen last night. Can we move back? I was wrong, I was really wrong. I instigated my sister to do that. Please forgive me and don't be angry anymore, otherwise my sister and I will freeze to death. Considering that we let you eat for free before without any complaint, please be kind and let it go and put down the bow." Yingchun said.
"Yes, Brother Zhou Bo, we are all in the same boat. We have lived and died together for so long. There is no need to continue making trouble. This will only make survival more difficult, lead to more internal friction, and divide people's hearts. This is the way to destruction." Bai Lu said.
"Now you know that discord among people's hearts is the way to destruction. You actually knew this and still dared to use witchcraft on your companion Zhang Yunwen? From now on, if you two say one more word, I will not be polite with my bow. After I finish boiling the medicine and treating the disease, get out. If you dare to come near me without my permission, don't blame me for being rude." I said.
Their faces looked worse and worse, so they could only go and boil medicine. Yingchun came carefully to the campfire to warm herself up, holding a wicker basket with two fresh pork chops in it. She asked me, "Brother Zhou Bo, can we borrow your pot? We won't use it for free. After we use it, we'll give you a piece of meat."
"Fix it." I said coldly.
So one of the sisters went to diagnose the patient's illness and had already taken off her blindfold, but she kept her back to me because she was afraid that I would worry. The other one was preparing the meat and cutting it with a knife, but when I heard the sound, I realized something was wrong, the tool for cutting the meat seemed to be extremely sharp.
Turning his head and taking a quick look, he saw Yingchun holding a gorgeous round dagger in her hand, the kind of hard-bladed dagger commonly worn by European knights in the Middle Ages.
I hadn’t noticed it before, but I just saw it now, but where did this come from?
