In the next two days, every time Yun Qiyou couldn't hold it any longer, Ye Xiaochuan could always conjure fresh pieces of meat like a magic trick.
Although it wasn't much, it was enough to maintain Yun Qiyou's life.
On the ninth day after entering the swamp, the injured armored dragon finally stood up, its huge body swaying, shaking off the mud, revealing its dark yellow scales.
Then, it looked up to the sky and roared, its roar like the roar of a giant bear.
Nine nights ago, the bear-like roars that Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou heard were indeed coming from it.
This roar was deafening and full of force. It was much louder and louder than the roar that night. Apparently it had spent the past nine days in the swamp and its injuries had healed.
A huge roar started, and a wave of sound waves spread rapidly. Big waves rose up in the pool, and the surrounding miasma was blown away to the surrounding periphery.
Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou were lying in the swamp mud very close to each other, and their eardrums seemed to have been shattered.
After the armored dragon roared like the return of the king, it didn't even look at the two skinny humans at its feet. It swung its long big tail and walked towards the shore step by step.
Soon, the rumbling footsteps gradually disappeared.
At this time, Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou breathed a long sigh of relief.
They didn't have any celebration ceremony. After Ye Xiaochuan made sure that the Ankylosaurus was far away, he immediately got up from the mud with difficulty, grabbed Yun Qiyou's arm, and dragged her along the mud to the shore.
At this moment, Ye Xiaochuan, after nine days of recuperation, the injury on his back has been mostly healed, but he still seems to be unusually weak and his face is pale and bloodless.
I don't know if it was because of the mud, but he seemed to be limping.
Yun Qiyou was too weak. Ye Xiaochuan had not fed her much meat every day in the past three days, just enough to ensure that she would not starve to death. At this moment, her whole body was weak and she had no strength to stand up and walk out of the swamp on her own.
Ye Xiaochuan spent a lot of effort to drag Yun Qiyou out of the pool and swamp.
Yun Qiyou's cheeks were washed clean with the water from the pool.
At this time, Ye Xiaochuan noticed that Yun Qiyou's cheeks and forehead were very hot.
Ye Xiaochuan immediately found a large leaf, held water, and fed Yun Qiyou little by little.
The mud in the swamp can treat trauma, and the water in the swamp also has medicinal properties. Ye Xiaochuan can only be a dead horse doctor, hoping that the water here can make Yun Qiyou's high fever go down.
Yun Qiyou was still very stubborn. She turned her head away with a look of disgust on her face. Apparently she felt that the sewage in the pond was too dirty and she would rather die than drink it.
In order to save her life, how could Ye Xiaochuan care about her opinion?
He pinched her cheek with his fingers, pushed it gently, opened Yun Qiyou's mouth, and force-fed her some water from the swamp.
After feeding him water, he suddenly saw a poisonous snake about two feet long emerging from the miasma, raising its head and spitting a snake message at Ye Xiaochuan.
Ye Xiaochuan stretched out his hand and grabbed seven inches of the poisonous snake, bit the snake's skin with his teeth, took out the snake's gall, raised his neck and swallowed it.
There was no knife at hand, but he took out a piece of dark yellow broken scale armor from his arms, which seemed to have fallen off the Ankylosaurus.
One side of the broken scales was very sharp, so Ye Xiaochuan used the scales to cut off the snake's head and peel off the snake's skin.
He knew that there were many parasites in snake meat and that eating raw snake meat could easily lead to parasite infection, but he didn't care about so many parasites at the moment.
Using sharp scales, he cut the decapitated, skinned and still twisting snake body into small pieces and fed them to Yun Qiyou.
A whole snake was eaten by Yun Qiyou. However, she consumed too much energy and ate very slowly. It took half an hour to finish it.
After eating, Yun Qiyou seemed to be in better spirits.
Seeing Ye Xiaochuan limping, she said softly: "You...your leg...what's wrong with your leg?"
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, just lying in the swamp for too long and feeling a little numb.
The Ankylosaurus is gone. It's very safe here recently. You're very weak now, so you'd better sleep for a while.
Don't worry, I will stay by your side and I will not leave you."
When Yun Qiyou heard Ye Xiaochuan's last words, his heart suddenly felt warm for no reason.
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
After Yun Qiyou fell asleep, Ye Xiaochuan had time to deal with his body.
At the same time, the Western Region, Longmen.
Longmen is a place with a new atmosphere every day, and more than 100,000 people have gathered here.
There is simply not enough housing in the city. Longbei Mountain to the south has been occupied by the Red Feather Army who stayed behind. People gathered from all over the Western Regions are stationed in the east and north of Longmen Ancient City.
Most of them were poor people living outside the Great Wall as a family unit. They were not rich and did not have enough food, grass, cattle and sheep, so they migrated to the Blackwater River, hoping to escape into the Middle Earth.
But in order to defend Yumen Pass, Zhao Zian has completely sealed Yumen Pass. People from outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.
Therefore, these people from the Western Regions were stationed near Longmen.
Here, there is a porridge for the Red Feather Army, so you will not starve to death.
About a hundred miles northeast of Longmen, two groups of cavalry collided.
One group consists of nine wolf riders on the grassland, with about a thousand people.
One group was the Western Region cavalry disguised as heavenly warriors, about four hundred people.
This group of prairie wolf riders set out from Yinshan Mountain a few days ago to look for the mysteriously missing team of 10,000 women and children.
The leader turned out to be Anda and Wanyanku, whom Ye Xiaochuan had known for many years! Wanyanku and Ye Xiaochuan were not familiar with each other. In the past few years, he had been responsible for patrolling the Yumen Pass area. Because of his forthright personality and a good drinker, Wanyanku was ranked first in the year.
The first time he met Ye Xiaochuan at Longmen Inn, the two became good friends.
Although Wanyanku had been transferred to Yinshan for most of the past six months due to his promotion, he would still come to Longmen to have a drink with Ye Xiaochuan whenever he had the chance.
A large part of the sheep in the sheepfold behind the inn were obtained from grassland herders through Wanyanku's relationship.
Wanyanku is not an ordinary warrior from the Western Regions. He followed Zhebie in the southern expedition against powerful enemies in the heavens, and performed extremely bravely in the battle against the heavenly storm army.
After the war, he was canonized as the head of a thousand households.
It's already the time of ten thousand households.
This time Zhebie sent him to lead a team to find the missing migration team.
Wanyanku divided his 10,000 men into dozens of groups, and he himself was accompanied by a thousand people.
After searching for several days, there was no trace of the migrating women and children. Looking at the map, I found that I had wandered near Yumen Pass without realizing it.
Thinking that we are already here, we have to go see Zongci Anda and bring some sheep to Changfeng's nephew.
So we took a detour of more than two hundred miles and rushed to Longmen.
About a hundred miles away from Longmen, he met a group of Western Region cavalry wearing leather armor, resting on a slope.
