Chapter 86: Take Care of Him
He Yan looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.
Most of my clothes were wet, and there were a lot of snowflakes on my head.
"Are you He Yan?" Wen Li confirmed again.
Is this guy really He Yan?
The change is so great, even the face has changed!
He Yan hadn't realized the change in himself yet, he just thought Wen Li's reaction was strange.
He Yan glanced at her doubtfully, "It's me, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Wen Li was still in a daze, He Yan frowned.
"I just went out for a while, don't you recognize me?"
"You can't blame me for this. Your face has changed." Wen Li pointed at his face.
He Yan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then raised his hand and touched his cheek.
"Won't you explain it?" Wen Li said.
He Yan said: "Oh, it's ineffective."
"What's broken?"
He Yan brushed his nose with his fingertips and explained, "I took a medicine that can change my appearance."
His face was too conspicuous in the tribe, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he took disguise potion and adjusted his appearance.
The medicine is only effective for seven days, and today is the expiration date.
"Oh." Wen Li couldn't help but glance again.
It's understandable. He Yan looks handsome now, but he's also intimidating.
If you want to get any information, it will be useless to go there with this face. It would be more appropriate to find someone to settle the score with.
Wen Li thought about his relationship with An Yuan again, and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
What is going on? She is trapped with An Yuan’s beastly husband!
It's outrageous just to think about it.
However, both of them were trapped here, and if she wanted to ensure her safety, she had to hold on to He Yan's thigh.
Wen Li took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
"Where have you been?" Wen Li asked.
"I went out for a walk." He Yan said.
"You must have been out for a long time. Why did you come back so late? Did you find anything?" Wen Li asked again.
He Yan shook his head.
When he came back, he had nothing.
He went hunting, but didn't find any prey and instead made himself look very embarrassed.
"It's snowing heavily outside, so it's not suitable to go out," said He Yan.
He Yan would never tell her that he almost got lost when he went out and had to find his way back with great difficulty.
Wen Li: “…”
Is this what he discovered after his trip?
Isn't this obvious? She knows it even without him saying it!
"I'm glad you're back." Wen Li said perfunctorily.
He Yan: "Yeah."
It has to be said that after He Yan came back, Wen Li felt much more relieved.
In this kind of environment, the feeling of having someone accompany you is completely different from being alone.
What's more, He Yan is a very powerful guy.
I feel especially safe with him.
He Yan found a seat opposite Wen Li. After a simple cleanup, he leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.
Wen Li was still huddled in the same position as last night.
During the time that He Yan was away, she adjusted her position slightly.
I put some hay on the ground and laid a blanket on it, and it became much more comfortable to sleep on than before.
I got a lot of fabrics when I unpacked the box before, some of which can be used directly as quilts, which are very warm.
The firewood was still burning and crackling. Wen Li was wearing thick clothes and curled up in the quilt, so she didn't feel very cold.
But... she looked in the direction of He Yan.
Compared to her, the other person seemed a little miserable.
He sat there blankly, wearing only his winter clothes, most of which were wet.
He seemed indifferent to it, though.
Wen Li stared at He Yan for a long time.
He Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore, raised his eyelids and looked at her.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" He Yan met Wen Li's gaze.
Wen Li shook her head slightly, "No."
"Then take a rest." He Yan said, and closed his eyes again, "Don't keep staring at me."
Wen Li looked away and closed her eyes, "Aren't you cold?"
He Yan did not answer.
Wen Li simply decided not to make herself unhappy.
She fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up the next day, it was still dark outside and I couldn't tell the difference between day and night.
The snow stopped for a while and then continued to fall.
After Wen Li opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked in the direction of He Yan. He was not awake yet, still leaning against the stone wall, maintaining the original posture without moving.
His lips were tightly pursed, his brows slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be lost in a disturbing dream.
Wen Li sat up, neither lightly nor heavily.
What's strange is that He Yan, who has always been very sensitive, didn't react at all at this time. He still maintained his original posture and didn't move.
Wen Li hesitated whether to wake him up.
But I feel it is unnecessary.
The two of them stayed in the cave and had nothing else to do. He Yan wanted to sleep, so it was okay for him to continue sleeping.
Wen Li gathered the quilt and tried to move as quietly as possible so as not to wake the other person.
When I woke up in the morning, I was hungry.
Wen Li took out the ingredients from the space and began to prepare cooking.
Because the weather was too cold and there were no curtains in the cave to keep out the wind, my hands were frozen as soon as I stretched them out.
Wen Li just made some simple food to make do.
According to He Yan, the two of them would have to stay here for a while, so it would be better to improve the situation in the cave.
For example, install a curtain or wooden board to block the wind.
The necessary materials are all in the Wenli space, so there is no need to worry.
After a while, the fragrance gradually wafted out of the pot.
Wen Li sniffed the smell hard and squinted her eyes in ecstasy. It was so fragrant.
The thought of eating hot food makes me feel comfortable.
She lifted the lid and took a look at what was inside the pot. The fragrance reached her head.
Logically speaking, He Yan should have woken up with such a fragrant smell.
But Wen Li couldn't hear his voice for a long time. She looked over in confusion and found that He Yan was still sleeping.
Did you sleep so deeply today?
Wen Li always felt something was wrong.
"He Yan?" she tried to call out.
He Yan didn't react at all, and didn't even move.
Wen Li's heart tightened... Could he be dead?
She quickly wiped her hands, moved closer to He Yan, and tried to feel his breath.
The faint heat poured onto her index finger confirmed that the person was alive and not dead.
"He Yan."
The two were very close at this time.
Wen Li tried to call He Yan again, but he still didn't respond.
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Li placed her palm on He Yan's forehead and found it was frighteningly hot.
"I have a fever!"
He Yan has a darker skin tone, so you can't tell from the outside that he has a fever.
Wen Li had thought that he was sleeping too deeply, but in fact, he was just confused due to fever.
Maybe it was because I ran out yesterday and didn’t keep warm enough when I came back, so I got a fever.
Even though He Yan has a strong physique, it is difficult for him to withstand the severe cold of nature.
Wen Li changed her other hand and placed it on He Yan's forehead.
The originally slightly cold fingers became warm in a short while after touching He Yan's forehead.
Without a thermometer, Wen Li couldn't confirm what temperature He Yan's fever was.
She searched the space but couldn't find any medicine to reduce the fever.
Now we can only use the most traditional physical methods to cool He Yan down.
Wen Li took out hay and mats from the space and spread them around He Yan.
Then, they turned He Yan's body and made him lie on the haystack.
Although He Yan fainted, he still cooperated.
Wen Li didn't spend too much effort and successfully knocked He Yan down.
Then she took out a quilt from the space and covered He Yan with it, soaked a piece of cloth, and put it on He Yan's hot forehead.
After doing all this, Wen Li was out of breath.
He Yan is tall and strong, so it is not easy for her to manipulate him.
At this time, the breakfast in the pot is also ready.
Wen Li ate a little quickly and felt full.
There was still a lot of food left in the pot, which she couldn't finish by herself, so this part was originally reserved for He Yan.
Now that He Yan hasn't woken up yet, she has put him into the space for the time being.
The space can keep the food fresh, so when you take it out, it will still be as fresh as if it had just been cooked.
This is particularly convenient in terms of space.
After doing all this, Wen Li began to examine He Yan again.
Her healing ability is particularly effective for external injuries, and has little effect on illnesses such as fever and colds.
However, Wen Li still tried to inject the supernatural power into He Yan's body. It would be good if it could improve his immunity.
After changing He Yan's towel several times, Wen Li was also very bored in the cave.
He Yan was sick again and no one talked to her.
She thought about it, took out a few wooden boards from the space, and began to nail them together, intending to make a windproof door panel.
Wen Li is particularly strong in manual skills. After she had a rough idea in her mind, she started to work on it.
The wooden board was the leftover part when Bai Yanci made the bed. Thinking that it would be useful in the future, Wen Li put it in his own space.
She joined several flat wooden boards together and strung them all together with a piece of wood.
In this way, a simple door panel is formed.
Although it is not very strong, it is more than enough to block the wind.
Wen Li tried to pick it up, but it was very heavy, and then slowly moved it to the entrance of the cave.
Standing outside the cave, the cold wind blew and Wen Li shivered.
It’s too cold!
The biting cold seeped in through the gaps in her clothes. In just a moment, Wen Li's cheeks were red from the cold wind.
My hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably, and my teeth were chattering.
This is the body's natural response to the cold.
Wen Li stood outside for a while, then felt she couldn't stand it anymore. She stamped her feet and quickly returned to the cave.
I stayed close to the fire to keep warm, and felt a little better after my body warmed up.
Wen Li felt that the winter in the beast world was too terrifying.
Even though she was wearing such thick clothes, she felt very cold after staying outside for just a while.
I really can’t imagine that He Yan stayed outside alone for such a long time. The only reason he didn’t freeze to death is because he has a good physique.
No wonder he got sick today. It would be strange if he didn't get sick under the circumstances.
After warming up a little, Wen Li stood up and planned to continue adjusting the door panel to make it better block the wind.
One thing she noticed was that the temperature seemed to be getting lower and lower.
Today is colder than yesterday.
If things continue like this, and the two don't take action, they will really freeze to death here.
Adding door panels to the cave is just one of the plans.
It seems that we can’t go back in a short time, so the best thing to do is to find ways to make our lives better.
Wen Li ran back and forth several times and finally made a suitable wooden board, which stood perfectly at the entrance of the cave to block the cold wind.
Because they needed to burn firewood, it was impossible to seal the door, so Wen Li left a small gap to let the smoke out.
Not sure if it was due to psychological effects or the door panel really worked, but Wen Li felt that the cave was a lot warmer.
She rubbed her sore wrists and felt much more relaxed.
After resting for a while, he continued to change He Yan's towel.
At this moment, his body temperature has dropped a lot and is not as hot as at the beginning.
I don’t know if it’s because of his strong physique or because she took good care of him.
After changing the towel this time, Wen Li took out a small pot again and started to boil the fire grass.
She has not forgotten that there is such a magical herb in her space.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a must-have in winter.
The medical guide described the effect as magical, saying that the body would become warm after drinking it. Wen Li had not tried it yet.
Wen Li was somewhat curious about what the system said and wanted to try the taste of the Flame Grass.
Wen Li grabbed a handful and boiled it. She cooked a whole pot.
The heat brings out the fragrance of the flaming grass, which has a refreshing taste, somewhere between the fragrance of flowers and grass.
After cooking, the juice turns into a deep red color and looks very much like black tea.
Wen Li scooped a bowl and tasted it.
The boiled juice has a very special taste, not irritating at all, and has no strange taste.
The juice flowed down the esophagus into the stomach, and Wen Li instantly felt her body warmer.
It felt like a fire was burning inside my body, making me feel warm and comfortable in this cold environment.
So this is the so-called Flame Grass. The effect is really good, Wen Li thought.
The cooked Flame Grass is taken out of the pot and loses its effect after one use.
But it’s good that a little bit of Flame Grass can boil a large pot of water.
Wen Li kept a large bowl and put the rest into the space first, preparing to feed this bowl to He Yan.
She brought Zhu Yan's Yancao Soup to He Yan, who had already slowly woken up.
However, his mind was still not very clear, he squinted his eyes and stared blankly ahead.
"You're awake!" Wen Li said in surprise.
When He Yan heard her voice, his head turned stiffly.
"...Wen Li." He tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse.
"Don't talk for now. Drink some of this. It's good for your health." Wen Li handed the wooden bowl to He Yan's lips.
He cooperated by opening his lips and swallowing.
"What is this...?" He Yan asked in surprise.
"Flame Herb Soup." Wen Li said, "Drink it all."
He Yan gulped it down, and soon the wooden bowl was completely empty.
"Thank you." He Yan licked his lips and lay back weakly, "Thank you for your help."
"It's okay...you're welcome."
His sudden thanks made Wen Li feel quite uncomfortable, and she responded dryly.
After He Yan woke up briefly, he fell into a deep sleep again. Wen Li did her best to take care of him.
As she expected, He Yan recovered completely the next day.
However, it was Wen Li's turn to be unlucky.
The illness from He Yan was transmitted to her.
"Wen Li, the sun is out."
That morning, Wen Li heard He Yan's surprised voice.
She huddled under the quilt, feeling cold and powerless. Her eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn't lift them.
He Yan said: "The weather is good today, I will take you back."
