Wei Ling looked at Su Xiaoling's back and grabbed a handful of grass beside her in frustration.
The relationship between the two seemed to have eased a little, but then it suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Wei Ling looked at the distance outside the small cliff cave. It was an endless stretch of trees and mountains, so barren that her heart was filled with panic.
She and Su Xiaoling fell off a cliff and disappeared together, which must have alarmed the entire capital. The Royal Forbidden Army will search the mountain. In fact, if the progress is fast, she and Su Xiaoling should have been found.
But it was quiet all around, and it was quiet in the distance. It was impossible to look for someone in silence. If the distance was not far away, you should be able to hear some sounds.
Wei Ling finally picked up the dagger and started working.
Su Xiaoling started to release her mental perception when she went out. She wanted to catch some big wild animals, otherwise she and Wei Ling wouldn't have enough to eat. The foreign land was colder than outside. If she didn't eat enough, her body would gradually be unable to bear it.
She didn't know how long she and Wei Ling would have to wait here, but she intuitively felt it would be a long time.
A foreign land, even if it has completely changed, is still a place that everyone respects.
She believes that Xiaolu and the others will definitely find her. She just needs to keep herself alive before that. She is not very good at martial arts, and now she is dragging Wei Ling with her, unable to move, so she can only wait. Today she has to find food and water.
The task is daunting.
Perhaps it is because many active creatures are inactive in winter. In the outside world, snakes hibernate, but in foreign lands, snakes and insects do not hibernate.
Su Xiaoling searched for a day, but only found some water and wild fruits, which were similar to iron knots and particularly sour. She killed the two non-venomous snakes she met and took them with her. This was the harvest of the day. She was still not full and hungry.
Immortal.
This wild fruit was so sour that it was difficult to eat, but a bite could refresh her mind. She also wanted to take it back and burn it to see if the taste would be better.
Some fruits are sour and unpalatable when eaten raw, but they taste better after being cooked.
The water is contained in bamboo tubes.
Before it got dark, Su Xiaoling returned to Xiaoyadong. She was extremely tired.
Looking at the stacked firewood, her face became better. Wei Ling did it after all.
"Is that all you found?"
Wei Ling was a little sad. There were only two snakes, how could they eat enough?
Su Xiaoling looked at her with cold eyes, and Wei Ling shut up in silence.
She was silent and looked at the firewood she had sawed. She was a little lucky. She was glad that she had done it. It was dark and no one had come to find it yet. Su Xiaoling didn't find much food. If she didn't do it, she would really have done it.
There is nothing to eat.
Su Xiaoling lit the fire, buried the fruit in the ashes, skewered the snake meat, and placed it next to the fire for roasting.
She herself rubbed her sore wrist and so on.
Wei Ling watched quietly, not daring to say anything.
She was thirsty, but water was out of her reach.
Seeing that Su Xiaoling ignored her, Wei Ling still spoke: "Xiaoling, can you give me some water?"
Su Xiaoling handed over the water calmly.
Wei Ling took it and drank slowly.
If she hadn't spoken, Su Xiaoling would never have helped her. If she had spoken, Su Xiaoling would have agreed to her decision depending on the situation.
She can't take care of herself now. She just hopes that people outside will find them quickly.
Another day passed and there was still no movement. Wei Ling also realized that she and Su Xiaoling might not be found so quickly.
Wei Ling hugged the bamboo, her fingers turned white when she pinched it.
It was completely dark, and there was a faint aroma of snake meat.
There were two of them, one for each person, so they were not full, but with some food in their stomachs, they felt better.
The snake bones are still not wasted.
After eating, Su Xiaoling took the hairpin and said to Wei Ling: "Mother, your lower body is not in good condition. I want to drain some blood for you. If you are willing, I will do it. If you are not willing, forget it."
I don't know how long I will stay in this place. Wei Ling's situation needs to be treated.
She knew about dietary therapy, and had learned a little bit about reading pulses over the years, but she didn't know much about it. But in Wei Ling's situation, she could only give her some blood, and she didn't dare to give her more serious injections.
Bleeding is just for relief. As for whether Wei Lingtong agrees or not, she doesn't care whether she likes to cure it or not.
Wei Ling was thinking a lot. She looked at Su Xiaoling and said, "Will I be crippled?"
She was too scared. She didn't want to be a useless person. She was disgusted with Zhou Zhi and had been a useless person for more than 20 years. She said he was disgusting just looking at him. If one day, she herself became like that, she didn't know what to do.
Fear overwhelmed her. She was not rejecting Su Xiaoling's treatment for her, she just wanted Su Xiaoling to say more to reassure her.
But Su Xiaoling was sitting by the fire. She didn't say a word, and her attitude was "Do you want to be treated or not?"
Wei Ling closed her eyes tremblingly and said with difficulty: "Xiao Ling, please give me some blood."
After Wei Ling said that, her whole body trembled.
Su Xiaoling would not comfort her. She took off the silver needle from the hairpin and roasted it on the fire. In the absence of any medicine, the high temperature brought by the tongue of fire was the best medicine.
Su Xiaoling took off Wei Ling's shoes and socks and found that her feet were a little purple and the color was different from her upper body.
Su Xiaoling took the silver needle and pricked Wei Ling's ten toes.
Black and red blood beads emerged.
Wei Ling felt no pain, and her feet showed no reaction.
Su Xiaoling put her shoes and stockings back on, and then dug out the cooked fruits from the ashes.
She pushed two to Wei Ling.
Wei Ling didn't move. Su Xiaoling didn't care and started eating by herself.
After it's cooked, there's a little more juice, but the taste isn't good. It's sour and bitter, but it does satisfy your hunger.
Su Xiaoling thought about picking more when she passed by tomorrow. Snakes were hard to come across and she couldn't go too far. This was all she could do.
After Wei Ling calmed down for a while, she also started eating.
She took a bite and frowned fiercely. She wanted to throw it away, but in the end she held back.
After eating, Su Xiaoling was ready to rest on the hay.
Wei Ling saw that she had no intention of asking if she needed to go to the toilet. Wei Ling looked embarrassed, and she said with difficulty: "Xiao Ling, I want to go to the toilet."
Su Xiaoling opened her eyes, said nothing, walked to Wei Ling, carried her on her back, and walked to the outside of the small cliff cave, which was only a few steps away.
Wei Ling looked troubled: "Is it right here? We still have to sleep in there..."
Here, they can smell it even when they go to sleep.
Wei Ling was devastated. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.
Su Xiaoling looked cold: "It's dark and it's not safe to walk too far. Mother, please hurry up. I'm tired."
Of course she knew it didn't smell good being so close, but what was more important was life or face.
Wei Ling was silent. In the great psychological shame, she solved her physical needs. She lay numbly on Su Xiaoling's back and was carried back by Su Xiaoling.
Su Xiaoling was extremely cold and fell asleep quickly.
Wei Ling couldn't fall asleep and cried silently. She didn't know when she fell asleep until finally.
