Chapter 265 Lin Zhaoyue: Emperor Shengwu, long time no see!
"master."
"master……"
Feng Xin shouted and rushed to Xiao Yan's side, and the other guards also surrounded him.
Even Lin Kaiji came over.
Lin Zhaoyue made a prompt decision and said:
"Knife."
Feng Xin handed the dagger in his hand to her. Lin Zhaoyue took it and made a cross on his wound to let the blood flow.
The dark poisonous blood dripped onto the sand, which was terrifying to watch.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at his arm carefully, and didn't know what method he used to lock the poisonous blood in his wrist. Fortunately, the poisonous blood did not invade his heart and lungs, otherwise, in the desert, without medicine, he would be in great danger.
Lin Zhaoyue went to check his other hand, and when she saw the headband on his wrist, her cheeks felt hot unconsciously and her eyes seemed to be burned, so she quickly looked away.
Arms, legs, neck, no other wounds were found after examination.
"Girl, how is my master?"
Feng Xin asked nervously.
"It's okay, just release the poisonous blood."
After draining the poisonous blood, Lin Zhaoyue bandaged him again. Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Yan held her tightly.
She turned her head and looked at him, he was still unconscious.
Lin Zhaoyue tried to pull her hand away, but he held it even tighter.
She pried his hands apart one by one, but he wrapped them around her again, holding them so tightly that her wrists turned red.
Lin Zhaoyue frowned and finally gave up struggling.
She told Feng Xin:
"You go and tell them that the snake skin must be peeled completely, removing all the grease and fat, and air-dried. That will be useful."
"Yes, girl."
After about two incense sticks of time, Lin Kaiji's people came back, but they didn't find any food except some scattered firewood, and they were a little depressed at the moment.
The morale just now is completely gone.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's people became proud again.
Just because their master can do it doesn't mean they can do it too.
These people have all been on the battlefield. Even if there is no fire, as long as they have weapons in their hands, they can make a fire.
Xiao Yun caught two snakes and cut them up according to the number of people. Each person got two three-finger-long pieces of snake meat, which could not provide enough food and clothing, but could only maintain basic vital signs.
Some people thought they could still bear it, so they roasted and dried the other piece of snake meat and stored it.
But what is more torturous than hunger is thirst. They have not had a drop of water since they set out for the Dead City and arrived here.
Everyone's throat felt like it was on fire, saliva secretion was significantly reduced, and the mouth was extremely dry.
The effect of the medicine was not that fast and Lin Zhaoyue was still feeling very uncomfortable. After bleeding Xiao Yan, she lay down again to rest.
Lin Kaiji couldn't stand Xiao Yan holding Lin Zhaoyue's hand, so he stepped forward and secretly tried to pry his hand apart.
But every time he tried to open it, he would hold it tighter, as if he was afraid that if he let go, the person would disappear.
Seeing Lin Zhaoyue frowning, Lin Kaiji reluctantly gave up and spread his clothes aside to rest.
After traveling all night last night, everyone was thirsty, hungry and tired.
Feng Xin and Ling Su discussed and decided to take turns eating and guarding the posts.
Each time, two people would cook for everyone, one would stand guard to see if there was any danger, and the rest would rest.
For the first time, Feng Xin and Ling Su took the lead. They were responsible for roasting the snake meat and left a soldier to guard the post.
When Xiao Yun woke up, what he saw was the back of Lin Zhaoyue's head and her small, white ears.
And his hand was holding hers tightly, so tightly that it left red marks on her arm.
Whatever her reason, she didn't push him away.
Xiao Yan's brows relaxed and he was about to rub her arm when a murderous look shot at him.
He turned his head and saw Lin Kaiji looking at him with murderous eyes, as if he would kill him if he dared to touch her again.
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, half-straightened up, and looked at the sleeping Lin Zhaoyue. Her complexion had returned to normal.
His slender fingertips touched her forehead and it wasn't so hot anymore.
"Master, the meat is ready."
Feng Xin handed the first piece of roasted snake meat to him, and Xiao Yan reached out to take it.
Feng Xin knew that his master was a sharp-tongued person, so he said:
"Master, just eat something, and when we get out of the desert..."
"I am not that sentimental."
Xiao Yan said this, waking up Lin Zhaoyue who was still sleeping.
"Zhao Zhao, wake up."
Lin Zhaoyue woke up in a daze, took some medicine, and felt a little better.
When they saw the roasted snake meat handed over by Xiao Yan, and then looked at Feng Xin next to him, they knew that the meat was for their master to eat.
She didn't answer it, but got up and went to the fire to roast herself.
Without any seasoning, the snake meat is not delicious and even has a strange smell.
When Lin Zhaoyue ate, she just chewed it twice and then swallowed it hard.
After eating and resting for a while, she looked at Xiao Yan:
"Where did you find the herbs just now?"
Xiao Yan pointed in that direction and said:
"over there."
Lin Zhaoyue looked at it for a while and said:
"take me."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said disapprovingly:
"I've checked over there. It's the den of the two snakes. There are no other creatures there, and there's no water either."
In the desert, most animals have evolved characteristics and physiological traits to adapt to extreme environments.
It doesn't mean that there is water wherever there are animals.
But just now he was able to find the place where the herbs were growing, so the sand there must be moist.
"take me."
She was in poor health, and Lin Kaiji did not agree, saying:
"We still have to travel tonight, so you should get more rest."
"We'll stay here tonight. Whether we can get out of the desert depends on willpower alone. We need to stay strong and hydrated."
What Lin Zhaoyue didn't tell them was that it was still unknown when they would be able to get out of the desert, maybe ten days, or a month, or half a year or even longer.
Therefore, they must make sure there is water and food to maintain minimum vital signs.
Xiao Yun took Lin Zhaoyue there, and Lin Kaiji followed.
Snakes live here, it is cooler than anywhere else, and because of the smell of snakes, other natural enemies dare not approach.
When Lin Zhaoyue arrived there, she saw that a hole had been dug by Xiao Yan where he had dug medicinal herbs before.
Obviously looking for water.
The sand he dug out had already dried up.
Lin Zhaoyue dug again and found that the sand was indeed moist.
"There's water tonight, let them come here and rest!"
There are only three people here. Lin Zhaoyue is still seriously injured and Xiao Yun has just been poisoned by a snake. The task of saving people is handed over to Lin Kaiji.
Seeing her digging a hole there, Xiao Yan squatted down and prepared to help.
Before he could steady himself, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the girl suddenly pounced towards him, and the next second, Lin Zhaoyue's slender white hands tightly grasped his neck.
The strength in her hands gradually tightened, and he felt suffocated. He lowered his eyes and saw that there were still sharp animal bones hidden on Lin Zhaoyue's fingertips. She said:
"Emperor Shengwu, long time no see!"
Emperor Shengwu was the title of Xiao Ying in his previous life. After the fall of Beiyang Pass, he led the Marquis of Xuanping in person to drive away the Northern Jue people and was named Shengwu.
Xiao Yan's eyes darkened slightly, with just the right amount of doubt and mockery in them:
"Did you fall asleep? I am the third prince."
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were sharp, and the animal bone in her hand moved closer to him:
“Don’t pretend. The Third Prince has always lived a life of luxury, but today, when you ate snake meat, you didn’t feel any discomfort at all. Moreover, the Third Prince doesn’t even know any herbs.
I heard that when Emperor Shengwu was on a personal expedition, he was trapped in a barren mountain by the Northern Jue people. At that time, Emperor Shengwu even drank horse urine. "
