After Yunwen said that, I really had no reason to defend myself. After all, I really couldn't control myself and hugged Bailu in front of them. If we continue to discuss this, I'm afraid it will get more and more confusing.

"But how can we save her? She has joined a cult and become a slave of Longhu." I was obviously much weaker.

"Solutions are thought up by people. Anyway, we can't just sit and wait for death, and we can't abandon our companions. Because if we abandon one of them, people's hearts will be scattered, just like you abandoned her, and one day you will abandon me for some reason." Yunwen said.

I quickly grabbed her hand and said solemnly, "No, I, Zhou Bo, will never abandon you, never!"

She smiled with relief, and put her other hand on the back of my hand. Her expression became gentle, and she said seriously: "Even if Yingchun really made a mistake, it was to Sister Bailu, not us. We should bring her back and see how Sister Bailu will deal with her. That is her right. Besides, retreat is definitely not the way to survive. Dragons can bend and stretch. Shrinking is to buffer the power, so that one day they can fly in the sky and turn the world upside down, instead of shrinking underground and becoming a small earthworm. We are the heirs of Milong Yazhang, and we are also dragons, aren't we?"

"Seeking the Dragon Envoy." I muttered to myself, and involuntarily took out the jade scepter from my chest.

"Yes." Yunwen said with an encouraging look.

I smiled at her and figured out a lot. Indeed, someone demolished our home and kidnapped our family members. It would be too cowardly to just ignore everything. Soldiers are fearless. After all, I was a special forces soldier. How could I be a coward and let others manipulate me?

"How about this, we will first take responsibility for ensuring Bailu's safety during this critical period, so as to avoid any harm to her health if we are away for a long time. When her condition gets a little better, we will go out to deal with Longhu, rescue Yingchun, and let Bailu deal with it herself. As for the period of taking care of Bailu, we can also draw up a battle plan so that we can win in one fell swoop and defeat the invaders." I said.

Yunwen looked at me with a smile, nodded her head, and said, "Well, I'll follow your arrangements."

"It seems that not all of them are listened to." I said jokingly.

Her pretty face flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "Don't think about what a girl says."

I smiled, and she also smiled with her hands covering her mouth. For a moment, the long-lasting depression disappeared, and it seemed that the room was not so damp and cold, and it felt a little warmer and safer.

Although Yunwen was not feeling well, she didn't want to rest for long after waking up. She was afraid that I would be too tired, so she helped me clean up the house. As the saying goes, men and women working together make work less tiring. We talked and laughed, discussing both business and other topics. Unconsciously, we cleaned the entire first floor a little cleaner, so at least it was safe for living.

I also used a cloth dipped in water to wipe all the furniture on the first floor. The dust and cobwebs had been slightly removed, but there was nothing I could do about the cockroaches and the like, so I had to make do with them.

During this period, I also talked to her about many things I noticed last night. For example, the words said by the nine-tailed white fox were a very important clue. I remember the original words were "You are not a human being, let alone have vision. You are just a pot of smoke and dust." From this, we can judge that the other party's true identity may be related to this, otherwise why didn't he deny it.

There is also another important message, which says that when Yingchun wants to sacrifice her soul, she needs to get very close, and the gray smoke lingers on Yingchun for a long time, and then pours into her mouth. This should not be a ceremony, but a test. I think Yingchun should have seen the true appearance of the deity at that time.

"As the saying goes, 'The opposite is the movement of the Tao, and the weak is the use of the Tao'. Usually, if we look at things in reverse, we will get the truth of the matter. For example, the louder the voice, the more unreasonable the person is. The more people like to show off, the more inferior they are. Similarly, it can be proved that it made itself into an object halfway up the mountain, which also shows its own inferiority and lack of security. So what the fox fairy said is very likely the fact. It is just a pot of smoke and dust. I just don't know why the smoke and dust has such great power." Yunwen said.

"We don't know that yet, but knowing this means it's not indestructible. As long as its body is threatened, I think any disguise will be in vain," I said.

Although we were forced to flee in this battle, as the saying goes, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. It cannot destroy us. Our spark will ignite sooner or later and swallow up this small smoke of its smoke without a trace.

However, on this deserted island, there are ways to deal with external enemies, but it is usually more difficult to deal with one's own problems. For example, there is nothing here now. There is no food except eating the corners of the table, but my stomach is obviously growling with hunger. This is the biggest problem that cannot be solved for the time being.

But we both thought that the other party must have expected that we would go back to look for things the day after we escaped, so going back to look for food was not an advisable option. We could only wait until the second or third day, when Yingchun and Longhu would relax a little. The best way now was to look for food nearby.

I remember there is an underground river below, which is all spring water flowing down from the mountains. We can live by drinking the water, and maybe we can even find live fish to eat.

So the two of us went down together. Yunwen happened to wash the blood off her body and head. Although her wounds had healed, she was still hit by the fallen beam and had some sequelae, such as always having some signs of nausea, and also feeling dazed and dizzy if she was a little tired. These could only be treated after Bailu woke up, and then some medicine could be adjusted. After all, it was an internal injury, and Sanfu's saliva would not work.

We brought kerosene lamps to the underground river, shone it in the dark, and actually found the fish stranded on the shore, but it was bitten in half. Looking at the tooth marks, it didn't look like something a creature in the river could do. It looked like the remains of a wild dog gnawing on it.

There are wild dogs in such a deep cave? This is obviously wrong.

At this time, Yunwen pulled me and pointed to a mark on the earthen wall by the river and said, "Look, this seems to be some kind of symbol."

I took a look and saw four vertical scratches of varying lengths, and then a horizontal one. It looked a bit strange, strange in that it looked like an animal's claw mark, but also like a subjective creation. I touched it and found that the scratches had been left, and the soil in the scratches still had a fresh smell, which meant that it was left not long ago.

It was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and most wild animals would guard their food. If we took their food, they would probably cause more trouble. So I put down the half fish, pulled Yunwen out quickly, thinking that from now on, I would be the only one to do the work of fetching water.

I couldn't find anything to eat downstairs, so I had to look around nearby. But I came back disappointed as well. It seems I have to endure this hunger for the time being.

I also thought about hunting the bison, but then I thought that even the mermen couldn't threaten them, so wouldn't I be courting death if I went? So I gave up.

The only food she had was some wild grasses and roots that Yunwen had gathered, which could temporarily fill her stomach.

I thought I would be hungry for the past two days, but unexpectedly I found something good. We were walking in the green space and accidentally saw the back of the castle. It was originally connected to the city wall, but we found a door in the back wall. After we struggled to open it, we saw that there was a piece of land surrounded by earth walls. There were a lot of weeds growing there, but at the same time we also found some bad but good things.

Those were the potato flowers growing in the ground. It was between January and March, which was the peak season for potato growth and fruiting. Yunwen and I tried to dig up one and indeed dug out a bundle of potatoes of different sizes, with roughly four or five in a bundle. Although this area surrounded by the earth wall was sparsely covered with dead grass and flowers, we could at least find more than ten potato flowers.

"There are sixteen plants in total." Yunwen said happily.

"Even if the average is four, there will be sixty-four potatoes in total. Our famine problem has finally been temporarily alleviated. And if we eat some and leave some for later use, these potatoes can largely solve the problem of us having no wheat," I said.
