Chapter 61: Poisonous hair, leaky house happens to be rainy
Ji Yunkai remembered that she had read a theory, which said that when a person encounters a good thing, other good things will come one after another. On the contrary, if a person encounters something bad, bad things will happen one after another.
Unfortunately, Ji Yunkai now belongs to the latter group, because he had the bad luck to marry Xiao Jiu'an, and then bad luck happened one after another, and nothing went as planned.
After tying the last strip of cloth to a tree, Ji Yun drove the two kilometers she had set before, and then she found the water, if that could be called water!
She walked for more than half an hour and risked getting lost before she found the water source. It was as dark as ink and smelled faintly. She didn't know what was under the water.
Ji Yunkai tried to use the wooden stick in his hand to test the depth of the pool, but as soon as he poked into the water, the rancid smell became stronger. It was impossible to smell such water, let alone drink it.
"God, are you kidding me?" Ji Yunkai was about to burst into tears. She finally understood why she had walked for so long without encountering an animal. It turned out that there was no water source nearby and animals could not survive at all.
"God, you win!" Ji Yunkai angrily threw the bamboo tube in his hand into the sewage, leaving only one, turned around and walked back.
She really didn't want to stay in this miserable place for a moment longer, it was so heartbreaking!
"Plop, plop..." After the bamboo tube fell into the water, it quickly floated out and floated on the water like fallen leaves.
After tying cloth strips all the way, Ji Yunkai was not worried about getting lost, so she turned back the way she came. Passing through the bamboo forest, Ji Yunkai stopped again, but this time she was not cutting bamboo, but digging a hole.
Ji Yunkai dug several holes next to the bamboo forest with a dagger, then picked big leaves, spread the leaves on the bottom of the hole, and then spread a layer on top, sealing the hole without revealing any gaps.
The humidity at the bottom of the mountain is high and there is plenty of water. She remembers hearing from her comrades that if the special forces couldn't find water sources in the wild, they would dig holes and seal them with plastic to use the moisture to get water. She had never tried this before, and she didn't know how to do it.
She could get water, but she couldn't find it, so she had to be a dead horse.
Using the same method, other pits were paved and sealed. Ji Yunkai went to pick bamboo leaves. The humidity at the bottom of the mountain was high. Although it was midsummer, it was still early. The temperature at the bottom of the mountain was also low, and there were still some leaves on the bamboo leaves.
Dew, Ji Yunkai carefully poured the dew on the bamboo leaves into the bamboo tube. After almost destroying all the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest, he filled it with water as deep as a fingernail.
Ji Yun could drink this small amount of water in one gulp, but she was reluctant to drink it now because Xiao Jiuan needed water more than she did.
Pursing his chapped lips, Ji Yunkai resignedly went to dig bamboo shoots. I don't know if it was because of the cooler climate at the bottom of the mountain or for other reasons. There were still many bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, but most of them were old. Ji Yunkai took the tender ones.
Dig all the bamboo shoots, peel off the skin, cut into slices, and eat them raw.
Raw bamboo shoots were astringent, bitter, and extremely unpalatable, but they contained a lot of water. Even though they were difficult to swallow, Ji Yunkai forced himself to eat one. As for the rest?
Of course I took it away!
I don’t know when the Yanbei Army will find them. What if the Yanbei Army finds them after two or three days? Will they not eat for these two or three days?
You know, she didn't see even a single wild fruit along the way. Apart from these bamboo shoots, they probably couldn't find anything else to eat.
After cleaning the bamboo shoots one by one and putting them in bamboo tubes, Ji Yunkai estimated that the time was about the same. He stepped forward to check the small holes one by one and found that the leaves were indeed full of water drops. He was overjoyed.
"That's great. You don't have to worry about running out of water." Although this method can not store much water, it is enough for her and Xiao Jiu'an to drink.
Ji Yunkai did not rush to pour the water into the bamboo tube, but carefully held the water drops and poured them into his mouth.
Her mouth was bitter and astringent. Although she didn't need water as much as before, she also wanted to take a sip of water to moisten her lips and get rid of the astringent taste in her mouth.
However, Ji Yunkai was reluctant to drink more. She only drank the water from one leaf and poured all the water droplets on the other leaves into the bamboo tube.
With these water drops, Ji Yunkai collected almost half a bottle of water, which was enough for Xiao Jiuan to drink.
Thinking that there seemed to be no big leaves for paving pits on the way here, Ji Yunkai picked dozens of leaves and brought them with him, then returned to the original place carrying the freshly dug bamboo shoots and water.
It took Ji Yunkai about an hour and a half to go back and forth. By the time she came back, the sun was already high. The sunlight was refracted through the layers of leaves and broke into countless pieces.
The dark light mixed together, softening Xiao Jiuan's eyebrows.
Ji Yunkai saw it from a distance and couldn't help but smile.
This man is really good-looking and can charm the ladies of the capital. However, this man only makes people feel harmless when he is unconscious.
Knowing that Xiao Jiu'an was in bad condition, Ji Yunkai didn't waste time. He put down the bamboo shoots and leaves, came to him with water, pinched his mouth open, and poured the water in.
Ji Yunkai's skill in feeding the medicine was not bad, and Xiao Jiu'an was also cooperative. Not a drop of the half-tube of water was spilled, and all of it went into Xiao Jiu'an's mouth. However, Xiao Jiu'an was seriously injured and just drinking some water was not enough.
After feeding him water, Ji Yunkai continued to dig holes to store water, trying to save some water for Xiao Jiuan to wipe his body. Otherwise, if he kept burning like this, his brain would be burned out even if he didn't die.
Although, as long as Xiao Jiuan does not die, she will not worry about being buried with him, but Xiao Jiuan has no heir, and there are no other men in the Yanbei Palace. Once Xiao Jiuan becomes a fool, as his wife, her situation will be very dangerous
.
She didn't think she had the ability to defend Yan Bei's army.
After feeding him water and digging a hole, Ji Yunkai's eyes fell on the pile of bamboo shoots again. This was the only edible thing at the bottom of the mountain, but raw bamboo shoots were bitter and astringent. Ji Yunkai didn't think that the unconscious Xiao Jiu'an could
Eat it, but Xiao Jiuan can't do it without eating.
"Is it possible that I have to boil the bamboo shoots and feed him? But where can I find fire?" Understanding that she had become an ancient person not long ago, she didn't have the habit of bringing fire sticks with her at all times.
As for Xiao Jiuan?
Can you expect the powerful King of Yanbei to make trouble at any time?
Rather than expecting Yanbei to make fire at random, it is better to hope that drilling wood to make fire will be useful.
However, Ji Yunkai would not be stupid enough to find a piece of wood and then drill it to make fire. Not to mention how long it would take to drill to produce sparks, she could not find the piece of wood for a while.
You know, the wood used to make fire is also very particular. She can't just cut down a tree and make fire. Without a suitable drilling board, she can't make a fire even if her hand bleeds.
"How to make a fire?" This stupid method of drilling wood to make a fire was definitely not feasible. She had to think of another way, but...
Before she could think of a way to make a fire, Xiao Jiuan's face suddenly turned from red to gray, with black blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. It looked like... (To be continued)
