Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Terrible strength!
"Miss, Miss..."
Hearing the young man's weak voice, Yu Li did not slow down and asked as he walked: "What's the matter?"
The young man said weakly: "Or... you should just put me down."
"how?"
"I, I want to vomit..."
Yu Li quickly put the man down and saw the young man collapsed on the ground, his face pale and blue, looking like he was about to die.
When we pulled the man out of the pit just now, although he looked a little pale and disheveled, he was still in good spirits. How come his face suddenly turned blue and white and he looked so weak?
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Yu Li asked kindly.
The young man calmed down for a while, his face finally looked better, and he said, "You just hit my stomach..."
Being carried like a sack, with the other person's shoulder bones directly pressing against your stomach, would make anyone want to vomit. The young man felt that the way she carried him was like the way porters carried goods at the docks. He was a human cargo, at her mercy.
Yu Li blinked and then said "oh" slowly.
You just said oh?
The young man couldn't help but look up at her, and suddenly found that she was really thin. Her skinny appearance made her look like a refugee fleeing during a disaster. If her clothes were not washed clean, and her hair, neck and skin were not clean, without the dirt and stench of a refugee, it would be easy for people to mistake her for a refugee.
The young man murmured in his heart, no wonder his stomach felt uncomfortable, she was so thin that only a bag of bones was left, how could it not be uncomfortable with these bones pressing against his stomach?
Besides, being this thin doesn't look very good.
Fortunately, she is not very old and is still a young girl, so she is not so ugly that it is scary.
If you can’t carry it, then carry it on your back.
Yu Li squatted down and carried the person on his back.
The other person had long arms and legs, and looked like a petite girl carrying a bear on her back, with both legs of the bear dragging on the ground.
For the first time, the young man felt ashamed of his tall and strong stature, and was always worried that he would accidentally crush the girl.
He cleared his throat and said, "My surname is Xuan, my given name is Huaiqing, may I know your name, young lady?"
This is said in a very elegant and refined manner, and is not the local dialect.
Yayan was the official language of the Daqing Dynasty.
Fortunately, the Yu family has two scholars, and the eldest son Yu once studied with Chen Xiucai. Whenever he is at home, he will mostly speak elegant language with the younger generations in the family. The children of the Yu family can understand him and can speak a little.
"Yu Li."
Yu Li replied politely.
Xuan Huaiqing felt that the name "Yu Li" was not something that a country girl would give herself. Generally, country girls rarely had proper names. They were either called "Yuan Niang", "Er Niang", "Sanniang", etc. according to their ranking in the family, or they were called Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu or Daya, Erya, Sanya and so on.
"Miss Yu, thank you for saving me this time." Xuan Huaiqing said gratefully, "I went into the mountains to look for someone this time, but I accidentally fell into a pit and broke my leg. If you hadn't passed by, I'm afraid I would have..."
What he said was not wrong. This area was deep in the mountains and few villagers would come here. If it weren't for Yu Li today, he would have become a corpse by the time someone found him.
When thinking about this, Xuan Huaiqing felt a little surprised. She didn't know why a young girl would run into such a deep mountain.
Yu Li didn't say anything, but carried him forward in silence.
Besides not knowing what to say to a stranger, I also wanted to conserve my energy.
Although she was very strong, her body was still very weak. She was exhausted when she went up the mountain. If she had not eaten a lot of wild fruits along the way and filled her stomach, she would probably not have had the strength to leave.
After walking for a while, Yu Li suddenly stopped.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xuan Huaiqing felt embarrassed to talk to a girl. In addition, he had been trapped for a day and a night and was thirsty and hungry, and was not in good condition, so he had to remain silent.
Seeing her stop now, he forced himself to cheer up and asked, "Miss Yu, what's wrong?"
Yu Li said nothing, turned around and headed to another place.
Xuan Huaiqing was a little confused when he found that she had changed direction. In fact, he was not familiar with this forest, otherwise he would not have lost his way and fell into the pit. Now he saw her turning around and didn't know where she was going, so he thought she knew the way.
Until he heard the sound of water and his eyes lit up.
Yu Li carried the person on his back and came to a mountain stream.
At the end of the mountain stream is a pool of water about ten feet wide. The water in the pool is very clear and you can see fish swimming leisurely in the water, wagging their tails.
Seeing the fish in the pond, Yu Li's eyes lit up.
She put the person down on her back, scooped up some water and took a sip. She found that the water was sweet and cool, much better than river water.
On the first day she came into this world, she was so thirsty that she went to the Fu family's kitchen to drink water. She thought the water tasted delicious at the time, but now she realizes that there is even better tasting water.
Over there, Xuan Huaiqing also buried his face in the water and drank it frantically.
He was so thirsty that his lips were cracked and his throat felt like it was smoking. If he hadn't seen that Yu Li hadn't brought anything with her, he would have wanted to ask her for a drink of water.
When Xuan Huaiqing finally quenched the thirst in his throat, he began to clean himself with water.
This water should be spring water gushing out from the ground. It is not only sweet, but also relatively cold, refreshing and cool, which makes people feel very comfortable on such a hot day. If it weren't for the injury on his foot, he would have wanted to jump into the water and soak himself in it to cool down.
When Xuan Huaiqing had finally dressed himself up to look presentable, he heard the sound of water splashing.
He looked up and found that Yu Li had already jumped into the water.
Xuan Huaiqing: “…”
Before he could open his mouth to say anything, he saw Yu Li grab two fish from the water, one in each hand.
Her clothes were all wet and stuck to her body, but because they were made of grey coarse linen, they were not transparent. It was just...
Xuan Huaiqing blushed and looked away, not wanting to look at anything inappropriate.
Yu Li threw the two fish he caught onto the shore, and then caught two more.
This pond is located deep in the mountains and probably not many people come here. There are a lot of fish in the pond, the big ones weigh about one kilogram and have very low sense of danger, so they can be caught without much effort.
Although she really wanted to catch a few more, she didn't bring any tools to catch the fish. The fish would definitely die if she brought them back like this, and dead fish are not as delicious as fresh ones.
The fish thrown onto the shore jumped around for a while, but finally due to lack of water, its jumping strength became weaker and weaker.
Yu Li went ashore to look for tools to tie the fish.
Seeing her pulling a large bundle of vines to tie up the fish, Xuan Huaiqing's eyelids twitched and he said, "Miss Yu, do you want to take these fish away?"
Yu Li looked at him and thought he was talking nonsense.
"You can use straw ropes to pass through their gills, which will make it easier to carry them." Xuan Huaiqing said that there was really no need to use such thick vines to tie them up. Seeing these vines, he remembered the scene when she pulled him out of the pit.
Although this girl is thin, she is very strong.
There are no normal animals and plants in the end times. All animals and plants are either polluted or alienated and have changed beyond recognition.
This was Yu Li’s first time coming into contact with an animal called fish.
Although she knew about fish from the original owner's memory, she really didn't know how to string fish together with a straw rope.
Following Xuan Huaiqing's instructions, Yu Li finally succeeded in stringing the fish together with a straw rope.
It was just because it was my first time doing this and I was not very experienced. I did not control my strength well and one of the fish had its lips torn, bleeding all over the floor, and died with its eyes wide open...
Xuan Huaiqing: “…” What a terrifying strength!
We have fish to eat tonight!
Yu Li was happy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Xuan Huaiqing was much kinder.
The weather was hot, so clothes dried quickly. After a while, Yu Li's clothes were dry and he decided to leave.
"Let's go." She said to Xuan Huaiqing.
Xuan Huaiqing nodded quickly.
Because she had to carry him on her back and it was difficult to lift the fish, Xuan Huaiqing took the initiative to take the fish strung together with straw ropes.
Looking at one of the bloody split-mouthed fish, he swallowed secretly.
Although they were deep in the mountains, Yu Li had a good sense of direction.
She has a wild sense of direction, which was also developed in the apocalypse. No matter where she is thrown, she can find the right direction and return safely.
Unfortunately, she didn't have enough physical strength. After walking for a while, she was too tired to stop and rest.
Seeing her sweating profusely, Xuan Huaiqing felt a little guilty, "Miss Yu, why don't you ask someone to take me down the mountain? Go and help me call..."
This girl is indeed very strong, but she seems to lack physical strength.
Seeing how thin she is, it's normal that she doesn't have enough physical strength, right? Generally speaking, girls are weaker than boys, and it's amazing that she can carry me for such a long distance.
Yu Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No need to bother."
By the time they got back and forth, it would be dark. If a man with a broken leg was left in the deep mountains, if any ferocious beast appeared, all the efforts to save him would have been in vain.
After resting for a while, she continued to move forward carrying the person on her back.
Xuan Huaiqing could hear her heavy breathing and felt very uncomfortable.
When she stopped again, he noticed that Yu Li's face was unhealthy and sick, so he asked, "Miss Yu, are you feeling unwell?"
"Not bad." Yu Li said calmly, "I was just sick recently, but I'll be fine later."
It turns out he was sick!
Xuan Huaiqing suddenly realized and felt a little guilty. It was really wrong for a grown man like him to carry a sick girl back home.
Just when Xuan Huaiqing was feeling grateful and guilty, they finally met someone.
The other party was stunned when she saw Yu Li carrying a young man who was twice her size, looking like she was carrying a huge bear.
Xuan Huaiqing was very happy to see the visitor and shouted, "Uncle Tu!"
The man who came was the hunter from Qingshi Village. His surname was Tu and everyone called him Boss Tu.
"Mr. Xuan... Brother Qing!" Boss Tu called out first, then looked at Yu Li, "Are you... Li Niang from the second branch of the Yu family?"
