Chapter 5 So Big, So White
When he woke up, he could see clearly, but his lower body was still limp and he couldn't move.
When Lu Qi was with the army, he treated seriously injured Cloud Cavalry soldiers. In the case of a broken arm or missing part, most Xianzhou people would need about three days to fully heal.
She calculated the time from her coma to her awakening, and guessed that she might be only slightly better off than the Yunqijun. She would probably have to be a cripple and lie in bed for about two days.
It's impossible for someone to crawl into the cave and lay out the hay on their own after they're unconscious. Lu Qi was sure it was Huai Ci who helped. She was grateful that he finally listened and didn't kiss her face while she was unconscious.
Otherwise, she would be trapped in an infinite loop of despair.
I don't want everything to be dark as soon as I load the save file!
Lu Qi raised her head with difficulty. She could hear the rustling sound of some burnt tissue fragments falling on her head. She tried her best to ignore it and looked at Huai Ci above her.
"Thank you for saving me." Lu Qi's vocal cords were not seriously damaged and have now healed. "Well, you can put me down and let me lie flat."
This angle of view was too strange. Huaici had to lower her head to be seen by Lu Qi. Lu Qi felt very uncomfortable. She found her head lying on Huaici's legs.
The thigh flesh that the back of her head touched was harder than she had imagined. Lu Qi felt uncomfortable lying there. If her legs could move, she would have moved down by herself.
It was obvious that Huai Ci didn't know how to take care of people at all. When he saw Lu Qi wake up, he touched her head comfortingly.
Stop touching her! You've touched all her hair off!
This scene was simply unbearable to watch. Lu Qi couldn't bear to imagine what she looked like now. She closed her eyes in grief.
She choked up and told Huai Ci that she wanted to drink water, and then He let her go.
While Huaici was busy tending to her, Lu Qi began to survey her surroundings. A familiar dimness spread across the small cave, and she could still hear the gurgling of the hot spring water not far away.
...Wait a minute, why is there movement in the hot spring?!
Lu Qi's eyes widened instantly. She tilted her head and saw Huai Ci scooping water from the hot spring pool with a container. A closer look revealed that the container was still a pitiful little robot that had been violently dismantled. It was the only high-tech product left in this assault.
Lu Qi: ………………
"...Huaici, you can't drink the hot spring water," Lu Qi said, speechless and choking. "It contains too many minerals. Humans will vomit if they drink it."
After being reminded, Huai Ci turned sideways while maintaining a half-squatting position. Under the dim light, only his beautiful deep green eyes could be seen, blinking pitifully and innocently.
There was no water nearby, and the Star Raft they used for transportation had already been detonated by Lu Qi, killing the enemy. In that heart-wrenching explosion, she only managed to save the most important things.
She stuffed the capsules of the Cloud Cavalry's remains into the black box, and the rest were all blown into pieces and burned to ashes in the flames.
When her body heals itself, she will dig out the black box.
Now...
Lu Qi always felt that she would starve to death, after all, she didn't even leave any food behind.
Huai Ci wasn't good at taking care of others. He looked like he was used to being looked after, even his hair was meticulously groomed. It was just that he'd been hanging out in this desolate place with Lu Qi for so long that his hair looked a little disheveled.
Compared with Huaici, Lu Qi looked like a savage who had just been unearthed, covered in dust and looking very miserable.
The hot spring water is undrinkable, and there's no water source nearby. Huai Ci thought for a second, let go of the robot shell in his hand, and walked to Lu Qi's side.
He slowly pulled up his white robe, revealing his clean and beautiful wrist. Under Lu Qi's stunned gaze, he used his sharp nails to fiercely cut a huge gash on his wrist.
“Tick-tock.”
Blood slid down from the white wrist in a startling streak, falling onto Lu Qi's face. She could smell the strange sweetness of the bright red blood, like honey from a flower, which made her dizzy.
Lu Qi's thoughts were no longer clear. She only felt that the color of that drop of blood was similar to that of the red fruit...
The warm blood moved closer to Lu Qi's mouth. She looked up in a trance, only to see Huai Ci's delicate expression of compassion and love, like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Drink, drink," a voice suddenly sounded in Lu Qi's mind, "Enjoy my flesh and blood to your heart's content and grow beautiful flowers."
【Dead End】
【Do you want to read the saved file? 】
Lu Qi returned to the real world, her mind still a little dazed. She vaguely remembered that before she came back, it seemed like someone was talking in her mind, but she couldn't remember it at all.
Damn, this damn strategy app, can’t it have some death replays or something?
At least let her know what happened before she died!
Lu Qi opened the app, but the save file wasn't loaded yet. He was terribly thirsty before dying this time, so he went to get a large glass of water, gulped it down, and then continued playing.
The save node she entered was indeed the moment Huaici pulled up his sleeves. She quickly reached out and held Huaici's wrist.
His wrist only looked thin, and Lu Qi couldn't wrap his palm around it even though he stretched out his palm with all his strength.
"Wait, wait," Lu Qi explained sheepishly under Huai Ci's puzzled gaze, "I, I suddenly don't feel thirsty anymore."
Now she understood that Huaici's body fluids were poisonous.
When she kissed her, there was saliva on her lips, and the saliva touched her face, so she sent it in. This time it was blood, so she sent it in again.
As for the surface of the skin, it is fine to touch it casually.
Of course, Lu Qi also has to pay attention to Huai Ci's sweating during their subsequent interactions.
What if His sweat glands are also poisonous?
So if she can avoid touching it, she should try to be careful...
Huai Ci was obedient, and when he heard that Lu Qi didn't want to drink water, he put his hand down with a look of disapproval on his face.
Lu Qi knew what this expression meant. Every time she caused trouble for her mother, her mother would look at her like this, as if she was looking at a unreasonable child.
There was nothing she could do about it! She still wanted to survive until the end of the strategy, so she couldn't just be soft-hearted and drink something poisonous!
After resting for a while, Lu Qi became bored. She could only lie down and had nothing else to do. She could only order Huai Ci to do the work for her.
But Huaici was an obedient person who almost always agreed to Lu Qi's requests, so she gradually became bolder.
After a long time, Lu Qi felt hungry because she had nothing to eat. She asked Huai Ci to go outside to find something to eat.
Although this planet was remote and much had been destroyed by the war, it still had plants and animals. After all, the Cloud Cavalry weren't unreasonable bandits, and they wouldn't completely destroy the planet's ecology like the Legion of Destruction did.
Huaici went out obediently.
"Take the robot shell with you and bring it back if you find any drinkable water," Lu Qi instructed him before he left, adding, worriedly, "Don't mix blood in the water, okay?"
Her request was indeed strange, but Huaici still agreed.
Lu Qi waited in the cave for a long time. She was so bored that she started counting the number of hay mats next to her. Only then did Huai Ci come back from outside.
When He came back, it was not even dark yet, and He could still see what was happening in the cave by the light.
In order to bring back food, Huaici took off half of his white robe and used it to hold various fruits. In his hand, he also held the small robot shell, which was filled with clear water that was almost spilled.
Oh my god, Huaici is so strong!
Lu Qi's eyes lit up. Despite her disability, she rolled over from the hay mat and supported her heavy body with her elbows.
She had been eating dried meat these days and hadn't eaten any fresh food. Now, seeing the plump and juicy fruits, she was so moved that she almost cried.
"Woo woo woo, I love you so much Huaici, you are my savior!"
Lu Qi ate the fruit while sobbing, murmuring her gratitude. This time, she had no way of verifying whether the fruit was poisonous or not, so she could only eat it and leave it to fate, or at worst, reload the game.
Fortunately, Huaici was reliable, and the fruits he brought back were basically non-toxic. But for some reason, there seemed to be a very familiar red fruit mixed in.
...Why didn't this thing die in the fire with her?
Lu Qi complained inwardly, picked up the poisonous gift from the Star God with two fingers in disgust, and threw it aside.
Huaici showed a regretful expression when he saw her deliberately throwing out the mixed-in fruit.
What's there to be sorry about? You'll die if you eat it!
Lu Qi was displeased with him again and ordered him to boil some hot water for him. The water looked crystal clear, but the water outside was still not clean, so it was safer to boil it before drinking.
It feels so good to be served. Lu Qi enjoyed the service brought by Huai Ci and finally understood why Dan Feng hired her as a military maid.
The only drawback is that Huaici is really not very good at taking care of people.
Lu Qi wanted to drink water, but she couldn't sit up, nor could she support her upper body with one hand. The hay mat was not high enough, and it would be awkward to drink while lying down.
In short, there were many reasons, which led to her having to rely on Huaici to feed her.
The blonde beauty stared at her for several seconds, thought for a moment, and finally took the first sip, then held Lu Qi's face and was about to kiss her.
He wanted to be fed mouth to mouth.
Lu Qi was shocked and hurried to stop it.
"No need to go to such trouble!" she exclaimed. "Just hold the bowl for me..."
She was so frightened that she dared not act violently, and could only cautiously look up at Him while drinking water. From below, Huaici's face was truly breathtakingly beautiful. He not only transcended the boundaries between men and women, but also his behavior.
This guy has no sense of boundaries!
How can you think about kissing while talking? It is forbidden to have a mind full of trembling!
There was no other way, Lu Qi could only make three rules with him, telling him not to kiss him casually.
"You're a man, I'm a woman, understand?" Lu Qi said angrily, "We're different genders, so we can't just kiss casually."
Huaici lowered his eyelashes and nodded calmly.
Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but the next day, he saw Huai Ci, who had changed a lot.
He puffed out his chest and almost gave Lu Qi a morning cleanser.
Lu Qi:.
Lu Qi: ???
