Chapter 1067 [A Friend in Adversity Sees the Truth]
Green Novel m 1067
one night
In the early morning of the next day, the three of them carried their bags on their backs, and the medicinal materials could not be left behind, and then they set out on the road
Before leaving, Yang Chen stuffed a few pieces of charcoal from last night into his bag
Seeing this scene, Liu Mingyu couldn't help asking curiously: "Honey, you're not tired, why are you even carrying charcoal? Although we don't have food and water, we have a lighter anyway, so we can start a fire anytime."
Originally, in front of Xiao Zhiqing, she was not used to calling Yang Chen so intimately, but after last night, Liu Mingyu wanted to call him that.
Yang Chen explained with a smile: "It's not for making a fire. The main thing is that the water here is not clean, and there are a lot of parasites and toxins. We don't have much time to make a fire to boil the water. Using charcoal can simply filter the water and absorb the toxins, so as not to If there are too many impurities, it’s not good to have a stomachache.”
Losing his cultivation base, Yang Chen didn't dare to take too many risks. The blood in his body was still fighting against the toxins. It would be terrible if the women also had physical problems, and he couldn't heal them anymore.
Liu Mingyu didn't expect Yang Chen to think so carefully, she smiled calmly, and didn't ask any more questions
Taking advantage of the sun, Yang Chen led the two women all the way to the north, but this time, Yang Chen found helplessly that he began to feel tired and strenuous, and his body began to flow like the two women. sweat more
The sultry temperature on the savannah made Yang Chen finally understand why ordinary people don't want to live here at all, it's like steaming buns
Both Liu Mingyu and Xiao Zhiqing had chapped lips due to lack of water and profuse sweating, but most of them were worried about Yang Chen's physical condition
Water was scarce along the way, when passing by a small dry river beach, Yang Chen ignored the two women's doubts, threw himself on the muddy ground, and vigorously dug the river bed with his hands
After digging more than half a meter deep, the two women were pleasantly surprised to see that there was still water overflowing from below.
"Generally, the river bed streams that have just dried up for a short time will have water locked in the sediment in the lower layer, but it is also a matter of luck. We are lucky..."
The second daughter was joyful for a while, after all, she just didn't say anything, in fact, she was already very thirsty
"I'll dig it for you"
Liu Mingyu followed Yang Chen, stretched out a pair of slender hands, regardless of the mud and dirt, and began to dig the hole as big as possible.
Xiao Zhiqing was dumbfounded, then she pursed her lips into a smile, and threw herself down to dig out all the mud
Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't need your help, I'm almost done digging."
Liu Mingyu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, "You've become an ordinary person and you're still in a daze. Don't talk too much. We'll help you, so maybe it hurt your self-esteem?"
"You... oh, I didn't mean that." Yang Chen smiled wryly, pouted and said, "Baby Mingyu, you wiped the mud on your nose, do you want to apply a mask?"
Only then did Liu Mingyu realize that her hands were dirty, she pouted angrily, and glared at Yang Chen, but continued to dig
Although it was just such a trivial matter, Yang Chen could still feel a bit of warmth when Liu Mingyu, such an urban beauty, Miss Qianjin, dug dirt with him. overworked
Aggrieved is aggrieved, but Yang Chen is still willing to turn such affection into motivation to cheer up
However, Xiao Zhiqing also treated her like this, which really made Yang Chen feel quite unbearable.
When the hole is dug, the water inside will keep gushing out.
Liu Mingyu frowned and said: "There is water, but how can we get it up, and it looks so muddy?"
"look at me"
Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, took out a T-shirt, sucked up the muddy water from the hole, squeezed the water into the container he was carrying, purified it with charcoal, and finally had a relative clear drinking water
The second daughter didn't expect that there was such a method, and she immediately admired Yang Chen's many tips for surviving in the wild
After drinking enough water, they filled up all the water bottles they were carrying, and then the three continued on their way.
Having lost his cultivation, Yang Chen paid special attention to the condition of the grass on the land. Fortunately, he didn't encounter any danger on the road
But they kept rushing like this, and when the sun was shining in the afternoon, Xiao Zhiqing heard a "grunt" in her stomach.
Because there are only three people on each other in the vast wilderness, they were heard all at once.
Yang Chen looked back, and saw that Xiao Zhiqing had lowered her head in embarrassment, clutching her stomach and biting her lips tightly.
"Husband, I'm also very hungry. I didn't eat anything last night. I walked for a long time today." Liu Mingyu said
Xiao Zhiqing felt embarrassed. Hearing Liu Mingyu say this, she knew that she was taking care of her feelings, so she couldn't help but glance at her gratefully.
Liu Mingyu has also changed a lot towards Xiao Zhiqing, she doesn't think this girl is a vixen who just wants to hook up with Yang Chen
After all, a vixen would not try to stop himself when it was so dangerous last night, it would be serious to run away by himself
But now, she is still working so hard to share adversity, and for Yang Chen's loss of cultivation, Xiao Zhiqing is only sad, and has no resentment or other emotions
Both are women, Liu Mingyu can tell that this girl is really thinking about Yang Chen
Although there is an uncomfortable feeling, Liu Mingyu is still willing to believe that this is a kind girl who can get along with each other
Yang Chen nodded, because although his body function has become an ordinary person, he still has relatively strong qualities such as resistance to hunger, but he ignored the fact that the two girls' physical fitness will not be able to keep up.
Indeed, if you keep walking like this and only drink water without supplementing calories, you will not be able to survive sooner or later
Looking around, he didn't find any edible prey. When his eyes fell on a tree with gray bark growing on the edge of a pile of rocks, Yang Chen's eyes froze.
"Follow me", Yang Chen beckoned, and ran to the tree
I saw that there were a lot of green and astringent fruits growing on this tree.
Yang Chen climbed up the tree fork, and picked off the fruits one by one, "Look, this is a wild fig, the leaves are oval, with fluff underneath, to keep water
The whole fruit of figs can be eaten with the skin on. Although it doesn’t look very tasty, you can make up for it first, add some vitamin C, and walk a while, I’ll see if I can find food.”
At this time, they were hungry, and the two women didn't care how sour the fruit was, so they bit the bullet and ate three or four. If it wasn't really unpalatable, they even ate all the fruits
Yang Chen also took a few, but he knew in his heart that if he couldn't eat some high-calorie food, he still couldn't make it through, so he had to keep looking for food.
For a moment, Yang Chen felt like returning to the time when he was a child trying to survive alone in the wild.
It's just that now, I have to take two women with me, and I have lost my cultivation, and my strength is not as good as that of Liu Mingyu who can use internal energy.
After walking for another dozen miles, the three of them finally came to an area with a shallow river. Yang Chen saw that it was already evening, so he asked the woman to find a place under a rock wall to spend the night here
"You all pay attention to your own safety, collect some hay and bark, and use it as a simple bedding for sleeping at night. I'll go and find out if I can get something to eat in the small river," Yang Chen said
Naturally, the two women have no objection. They have also learned a lot of ways to live in the wild from Yang Chen these days, and soon went to collect various materials, and planned to make a fire
Yang Chen ran to the small river and looked around. Since there is no fishing rod or other tools, fishing is not realistic, and the small river here does not seem to have any fish.
However, there is no such thing as an unparalleled road, Yang Chen caught a glimpse of it with sharp eyes, it was actually a water snake as thick as a small arm, swimming and passing under him towards the surface of the water...
Yang Chen recognized that it was a thorn-scaled water snake, and it was not poisonous. In fact, most water snakes were not very poisonous.
What's more, I have nothing to be afraid of if it is poisonous, so I stretched out my hand and grabbed the water snake directly to the shore.
Yang Chen is already a veteran at catching snakes. After he easily pinched the snake's head, the snake opened its mouth empty-handed. No matter how hard it struggled, it was useless
Without much hesitation, Yang Chen opened his mouth, bit the entire snake's head, and bit it hard
"Pooh"
After the snake's head was bitten off, Yang Chen spit it out on the ground, killing its life, so it would be more convenient to take it back
Since he did not bring any tools such as a knife before departure, Yang Chen had no choice but to use the most primitive method in order to save time.
Fortunately, I used to eat all kinds of raw animals like this when I was a child. Although biting the head of a snake is disgusting, I am used to it. But if women see this scene, they will definitely be shocked and close their eyes.
