Chapter 69 Pei Yu is alone
This is also part of the strategy.
Wen Li told herself in her heart, smiled at Zhu Yan, and took a bite of the shrimp he handed over.
"Thanks."
The tip of her soft tongue accidentally licked Zhu Yan's rough fingertips.
Zhu Yan's pupils trembled and his heart palpitated for a moment.
The subtle touch still lingered on his fingertips, and Zhu Yan hastily withdrew his fingers, rarely avoiding her smiling gaze.
Wen Li chewed the shrimp in her mouth. Zhu Yan even dipped it in sauce for her. It was delicious.
After swallowing it, Wen Li felt relieved when she saw Zhu Yan didn't move again.
She always felt a little weird being fed in front of so many people.
Fortunately, Zhu Yan only did this once.
Xin Yuan, who was standing next to him, finally stopped when he saw that Wen Li’s shrimp pile was almost full.
This meal was really difficult for Wen Li to eat.
Perhaps because her appearance had changed so much, the eyes of the people at the table would fall on her from time to time, looking at her inquiringly.
Wen Li could only try to ignore it and eat her meal quietly.
She finished eating as quickly as possible and got up to go back to her room.
As a cook, Wen Li didn't need to wash dishes, so she went straight back to her cave.
"Take your time eating."
After Wen Li left, the speed at which they ate increased significantly. In just five minutes, all the dishes on the table were gone.
It seems like he was just dawdling on purpose.
After dinner, Shen Yihe and Pei Yu were leaving as usual.
Zhu Yan suddenly called Pei Yu.
"Pei Yu, do you want to switch with me tomorrow?" Zhu Yan asked.
According to the order, it will be Pei Yu's turn to protect Wen Li tomorrow.
Pei Yu tilted his head to look at him, a dark light flashing in his purple eyes.
"No." He uttered these two words with a smile.
After saying this, Pei Yu ignored Zhu Yan's changing expression and said, "I'll go back first."
He and Shen Yihe disappeared.
Zhu Yan frowned and turned back to his cave.
I thought to myself: Pei Yu really has some evil intentions.
The next day, Wen Li woke up very early.
But the others woke up earlier than her and had already gone out.
Breakfast is also ready.
When Wen Li came out of the cave, she saw Pei Yu cleaning the front yard.
Wen Li was stunned for a moment and thought that it was Pei Yu today.
Pei Yu heard the footsteps and noticed her.
"You're awake." Pei Yu took the initiative to greet him.
"Good morning." Wen Li said.
She first went to the well to wash and apply makeup to her face when Pei Yu had already brought out her breakfast.
"I cooked soup today." Pei Yu said.
"Thank you." Wen Li came to the stone table and sat down.
Her attitude towards Pei Yu was a little distant.
This was the second time she was alone with Pei Yu. The last time was when they were eating pickled fish.
We spent a short time together during this period.
After Wen Li's observation, she found that Pei Yu's personality was not as aloof as it seemed when they first met. Instead, he was easy to talk to and even playful.
When he came back from hunting, he would bring back some strange sticks or stones.
Wen Li also asked Xin Yuan, and according to Xin Yuan, Pei Yu had a habit of collecting these.
A very unique person.
Wen Li picked up the spoon and tasted the vegetable soup. Hmm... Bai Yanci is cooking today.
A dark shadow fell in front of her. Wen Li looked up and found that Pei Yu had already sat down opposite her.
Pei Yu was still holding the wooden broom made by Wen Li, knocking on the floor boredly.
He supported his chin with his free hand, and stared straight at Wen Li with his purple eyes.
Wen Li met his gaze and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Pei Yu shook his head, "I've eaten."
Wen Li: "Oh."
Seeing that he was staring at her bowl, she thought he wanted to eat too.
Wen Li continued to eat breakfast with her head down.
Pei Yu asked, "What are you going to do later?"
Wen Li swallowed the potato in his mouth and shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Pei Yu's expression drooped for a moment. "You don't plan to stay at home forever, do you?"
Wen Li thought seriously and said, "It's not impossible."
Pei Yu's face fell a little more, "Isn't that boring?"
"It's okay, I don't feel bored." Wen Li said with a smile.
Pei Yu curled his lips.
Wen Li asked with amusement: "Do you want to go out and play?"
Pei Yu's purple eyes flickered as he denied it, "It's not that I want to go out and play, I just feel bored staying here all the time."
"That's right." Wen Li nodded.
Pei Yu's eyes lit up slightly when he heard her say that.
Wen Li said: "If you feel bored, you can go out and play by yourself."
Pei Yu frowned, "How can I go out by myself? My task today is to take care of you."
He did not forget the mission that brought him here today.
Wen Li thought he was really funny.
He said nothing more and continued to drink his soup.
Pei Yu probably felt bored, so he went back to the yard and continued sweeping the floor.
After seeing Wen Li finish eating, he walked over again and said, "Give me the bowl."
"What are you going to use it for?" Wen Li handed the bowl over in confusion.
Pei Yu: "...wash it."
Wen Li saw a hint of speechlessness in his expression and closed her mouth awkwardly.
However, she didn't expect that Pei Yu would take the initiative to help others wash dishes.
Pei Yu quickly walked out of the small kitchen, bored, and walked around the front yard with a wooden broom.
He had swept up the dead leaves in the yard and gathered them in a corner. These dead leaves could be used to make fire.
Wen Li walked towards the cave.
Pei Yu saw this and asked, "Where are you going?"
Wen Li said: "Sleep."
Pei Yu: “…”
Watching Wen Li disappear into the cave, Pei Yu wordlessly knocked on the ground with a broom, feeling extremely regretful.
If he had known today would be so boring, he should have switched places with Zhu Yan yesterday.
Leaving him sitting here all day doing nothing is more painful than killing him.
Pei Yu sighed several times on the spot.
Then he walked out of the yard.
Since I'm free anyway, I might as well clean the outside as well.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, Wen Li, who had changed her clothes, came out of the cave.
These two days, she made some simple modifications to her animal skin skirt, turning it into a more sturdy and durable animal skin shorts.
She told Pei Yu that she was going to bed just to tease her. She had already planned what to do today.
Wen Li changed into animal leather pants, put on an insect repellent sachet, smeared medicinal juice on exposed skin, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and was fully armed.
According to her plan, she was going to collect herbs today to prepare for winter. If she had enough time, she would also like to catch some shrimps.
As for weapons and some insect repellents, Wen Li had already put them into the space in advance.
As she gains more favorability, the space area will also increase.
Now her space is as big as a basketball court.
As for the winter food that Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan asked her to keep, they are now placed in her space.
The space has a fresh-keeping effect and is spacious, so it is safer to put things in it.
Wen Li didn't see Pei Yu in the yard and felt confused.
But soon, she saw the familiar short silver hair swaying back and forth outside the wooden wall.
Pei Yu's short silver hair was particularly eye-catching in the sun, as if it was glowing.
Wen Li opened the wooden door and looked outside, only to see Pei Yu sweeping the floor outside obediently.
"Pei Yu, stop sweeping."
After hearing her words, Pei Yu looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wen Li said: "Go out and work."
Pei Yu's eyes lit up, and he threw the broom into the yard and walked over.
"What are you going to do?" Pei Yu asked.
"Will you come with me to get some herbs?" Wen Li asked.
Pei Yu nodded hurriedly, "Let's go!"
The two locked the gate of the yard, and then Wen Li led Pei Yu out.
The herb she was going to collect this time was called Yancao, which had the effect of dispelling cold. With this herb, she could use it to make soup in winter to prevent colds.
Wen Li had nothing to do last night, so she flipped through the medical guide and discovered that this thing existed and that it grew near the tribe.
This requires more preparation!
Wen Li opened the map in his mind and led the way.
Although this flame grass has the effect of dispelling cold, its growing location is very strange, which is completely contrary to its medicinal effect. It mostly grows in some humid environments.
The two were walking towards the wettest primeval forest.
Pei Yu followed her and frowned, "It's dangerous here."
Pei Yu reminded.
Wen Li nodded, "I know, you should be able to protect me, right?"
Pei Yu responded simply, "Of course."
Wen Li smiled and took out a ball of insect repellent grass from her bag and handed it to him, "There are a lot of bugs in it, you can take this with you."
"Oh, thank you." Pei Yu reached out to take it and tied the grass ball around his waist.
The deeper we went, the more snakes and insects there were around, and the damp smell in the air became stronger and stronger.
Seeing a giant python crawling over the branches beside him, Wen Li got goosebumps all over his body and gradually began to think of retreating.
Although the bugs didn't crawl onto her, this was still too much!
As a modern person, she had never seen so many insects.
There were snakes, centipedes, and some unknown reptiles wriggling around.
"Pei, Pei Yu..."
Wen Li shivered and turned her head away. Pei Yu looked calm and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Wen Li's pale face, she said, "Are you scared? It's okay, they won't bite you."
The two of them carried balls of insect repellent grass with them, so ordinary insects would not dare to touch them.
Wen Li swallowed, "Aren't you afraid?"
She had overestimated herself a bit. Seeing these bugs, her sanity level dropped drastically.
Pei Yu said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm used to it. There are plenty of them in the back mountains."
There are many more strange things in the back mountain than these, and he has long been accustomed to them.
Pei Yu said: "If you are afraid, go back first."
Wen Li was moved by his words.
But after taking another look at the map, he realized they were already near Yancaodu.
Now that I'm here and almost able to pick it, it would be a shame to leave now.
Wen Li's original intention to retreat was gradually replaced by the thought of "I'm already here". She gritted her teeth and said, "We'll be there soon. Let's go back after we finish picking."
After walking forward for a while, Wen Li found that there were obviously fewer insects and snakes here, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The map shows that the Flame Grass is within this range.
Although the location is not displayed in great detail, a red area is outlined on the map.
Wen Li said, "It's nearby. Can you help me look for it? It's a kind of red grass."
"Okay." Pei Yu's voice sounded from behind.
The two searched for a while but did not see the so-called Flame Grass.
Just when Wen Li began to wonder if the map was wrong, Pei Yu, who was searching nearby, suddenly disappeared from her sight.
Wen Li's eyes suddenly widened: "Pei Yu!!"
Wen Li ran over quickly, and the next second, she understood why Pei Yu suddenly disappeared.
because!
There's a hole here!
Wen Li stepped on empty air and was overwhelmed by the intense uneasiness of weightlessness, so much so that she couldn't help but scream.
"ah!"
After falling down from above, he rolled and crawled for a while before finally stopping.
Wen Li lay on the ground with a dazed look in her eyes.
She didn't know how high she was, but she felt like she had been rolling for a long time and her body was about to fall apart.
What bad luck, Wen Li thought.
The surroundings were dark, and there was a faint sound of flowing water passing by his ears. Wen Li's dilated pupils focused and he realized that this seemed to be a cave.
Suddenly, a beautiful face appeared in her sight.
Wen Li was startled and jumped up subconsciously.
This time, he hit Pei Yu hard.
He covered his chin in pain, tears welling up in his eyes. He stared at Wen Li for a long time without saying a word.
Wen Li also heard the loud "click" just now.
Realizing what she had done to Pei Yu, she smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry."
Pei Yu covered his chin and it took him a while to recover, but the moisture in his eyes still did not fade away.
He muttered, "Are you okay?"
Wen Li rubbed his arm and felt pain all over his body.
She said stubbornly: "It's okay, where did we fall?"
Pei Yu explained, "It looks like a cave. Look, there's the red grass you mentioned. Is that what you're looking for?"
Wen Li looked in the direction Pei Yu pointed, and her eyes lit up.
There is always a way out!
It really is the Flame Grass.
Wen Li didn't care about the pain in her body at this moment, and said to Pei Yu: "Yes, that's right, help me pick them all."
No wonder I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. It turns out that the fire grass grows underneath.
There were a lot of flame grass growing here, and it took Wen Li and Pei Yu some time to pick them all.
After sorting out the abundant flame grass, Wen Li was satisfied.
However, the problem lies ahead.
"How do we get out?" Wen Li asked.
This looks like a closed cave.
Pei Yu looked at the stream on the ground and said, "It's easy. Just follow the source of the water."
Wen Li felt that it was hasty, but there seemed to be no other way.
She and Pei Yu walked along the water source.
You know what, I actually saw the exit.
Walking out of this dark cave, there is a meadow with countless white flowers outside.
I don’t know where the two of them came to, but the scenery here is beautiful. Compared with the forest full of reptiles just now, it is simply a paradise.
After walking out of the cave, the two found a place to rest.
Wen Li asked, "Are you hungry?"
She had made some rice balls and put them in the space so she could take them out and eat them at any time.
Pei Yu tilted his head and looked at her, "I'm fine, are you hungry?"
Wen Li had expended so much energy and was indeed hungry. She took out two rice balls from her bag and handed one to Pei Yu.
"Here you go."
"Thanks."
Pei Yu smiled at her, the scratches on his face were bright, giving him a kind of battle-damaged beauty.
"Your face is injured, let me help you heal it."
After saying that, Wen Li used his special ability.
Pei Yu felt a cold touch on his face. He lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Wen Li said: "Okay."
Wen Li withdrew her hand and was about to continue eating the rice ball, when suddenly, Pei Yu grabbed her hand and gently pressed his lips against hers.
Wen Li:?
