Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 125 Food
Chu Ci gritted his teeth, limped out of the cave, and walked for about a mile before realizing that he was feeling cold and unable to support himself.

Especially the empty stomach, as if it was burning, it was extremely uncomfortable.

She felt like she couldn't go on.

There happened to be a big tree beside me, so I simply walked over, supported the trunk, and sat down leaning against the tree with difficulty...

In this situation, she didn't need to feel her pulse to know that she must have a fever.

But the medicine he was carrying had been washed away when he entered the water yesterday, and he didn't even know where his purse went.Now on this desolate mountain, even if she has a full stomach of medical skills, what is the use of it!

After resting for a while, clutching her increasingly hungry stomach, she wanted to get up and find something to eat, but after trying several times, she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

She held her forehead with one hand, only to feel that she was getting more and more tired, and her eyelids were sinking.

Or, just sleep for a while, and then go find something to eat when you are refreshed?

Thinking like this, she closed her eyes unconsciously and fell into a deep dream.

At this time, Meng Jing, who was a foot away from her, finally appeared, walked towards her with a sullen face and nonchalant steps.

After arriving at her side, he touched her sleeping bed without hesitation, then picked her up and jumped up to the branch of the tree next to him, and found the most hidden place to fix her.

Then he took out a few sweet potatoes that were still warm from his bosom, and put them in the place closest to her chest.

After doing all this, he held onto the tree trunk and took a deep breath, then raised his hand to gently caress her thin face, stared at her for a while, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he accidentally touched her bare and cold right foot.

I saw that the foot no longer looked like a foot, it was dirty and swollen, and there were many small wounds on the sole of the foot, with bloody scabs.

He looked at it, with deep distress in his eyes, and then tore off another piece of clothes, carefully wrapped her injured feet, then turned around, jumped off the tree resolutely... and walked towards the cave.

On the way back to the cave, he checked the trap he had set up yesterday, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he entered the cave and lay down on his wooden bed with his eyes closed.

Maybe he will have to use more strength later, he needs to recover some strength as soon as possible...

Finally, after an hour, there were bursts of screams outside.

When Meng Jing heard the first scream, he sat up straight like a carp. He held the spear he had cut out of wood, and got out of bed in a cold.

The torches in the cave had been extinguished, and only the last spark remained not far in front of her.

Not long after, a man in black really came into the cave, and the leader was holding a torch, and tried step by step forward...

Meng Jing looked at the light shining through the Huozhezi, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of coldness, and he hit the Huozhezi with the stone in his hand.

Hearing the sound of the hidden weapon, the man in black dodged subconsciously, and the fire pocket in his hand was extinguished by the strong wind because of the rapid flickering.

"People are inside!" The leader of the man in black finally confirmed that there was someone in the cave, shouted, and rushed in.

Meng Jing ignored it.

He silently counted one, two, three...

Just after counting the word "three", there was a scream, and four or five men in black fell into the trap he dug.

Taking advantage of this gap, Meng Jing ran out of the cave according to the distance he had calculated.

The cave was long and dark, and no one could see who it was, and the man in black who hadn't fallen into the trap couldn't tell him what to do, and only focused on lighting a fire to save his companions in the trap.

Meng Jing came out of the cave, without a moment's hesitation, she slapped another palm on the roof of the cave.

The next moment, there was a bang, and countless rocks rolled down from the top of the cave, tightly sealing the cave door.

Looking at this scene, the eyes of the men in black who were guarding outside the cave and surrounding Meng Jing showed a look of astonishment...

The task they received was to hunt down a pair of injured men and women who fell off a cliff.

That woman didn't know where she was and didn't say anything.

But the man in front of him doesn't look injured...

"Brother, what should we do?" The third-ranked man in black looked at his elder brother and asked sharply, "Do you want to do it or not!"

Hearing his brother's question, the black-clothed boss took a deep look at Meng Jing in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said harshly, "I've reached this point, so I can only do it! It can be regarded as a substitute for the second and fourth child." revenge!"

After yelling, the boss swung his knife and slashed at Meng Jing!
Meng Jing only had a spear made of wood in his hand, so he couldn't face it head-on, so he tensed his face and kept avoiding sideways, not daring to reveal his true nature...

On the other side, when Chu Ci Youyou woke up, he felt that his body was getting hotter.

However, after sleeping for more than an hour, his physical strength finally recovered a little.

She opened her eyes and wanted to get up and move around, but found herself tied to the tree again.

Is it Meng Jing?
Leaning against the tree branch, she sat up with difficulty, looking at her carefully bandaged feet, thinking in shock.

But...how could it be him!

When he was in the cave, he was clearly aloof and sarcastic.

But if it wasn't him, who would it be!
She was thinking with complicated emotions, and suddenly, she felt that there seemed to be something more on her body. When she lowered her head, she realized that there was something hidden in her chest.

She stretched out her hand and found three skinny sweet potatoes.

And maybe because of her fever, the three sweet potatoes were still a little warm.

Looking at the three sweet potatoes, Chu Ci's originally chaotic head suddenly became clear.

Meng Jing... how could he really want to lose his temper with him? He obviously didn't know whether the person who found them first was an enemy or a friend, so he used tricks to force her away, and he stayed alone to deal with those unknown dangers .

Thinking of this, Chu Ci's eyes suddenly became sore.

She couldn't eat the three sweet potatoes anymore.

She untied the belt that fixed her, hugged the trunk and climbed under the tree...

Since the two of them fell off the cliff together, they should face any danger together. She can't, and she won't leave the dead end to Meng Jing, surviving on her own.

Over there in the cave.

Meng Jing wrestled with the men in black for a long time, but in the end he was finally seen through to the very end. He stabbed two men in black to death with a wooden spear, wounded four men in black, and took a weapon.But those people were also red-eyed and slashed at him a few times.

But fortunately, none of them were in important places, and since he was wearing a black robe, those people couldn't tell how much blood he had shed.

"Brothers, he won't be able to hold on for long, let's work harder and make a quick decision. Then I invite you to go to the Piaoxiangyuan to have fun!"

Taking advantage of the gap, the old man in black raised his morale with a rough voice.

But the words "Piaoxiangyuan" really aroused the desire and bloodiness of those men in black, and immediately they greeted Meng Jing even more ruthlessly.

When Meng Jing didn't pay attention, his arm was cut again.

So at the same time, another person behind him slashed at his right hand that was holding the weapon tightly.

Due to lack of physical strength, Meng Jing's movements were a little slow.

When he heard the sound of Jin Ming behind him, he knew clearly that he had to abandon his weapon to dodge, or his right hand would be chopped off.

The power of two evils, he abandoned the knife without even thinking about it, and turned around to catch the light of the knife that was cutting towards his right hand...

When the remaining six men in black saw that Meng Jing's weapon had been knocked over, a look of pride flashed across their eyes. At the same time, the six men drew their knives and slashed at Meng Jing even more fiercely.

When Meng Jing was approached by six people at the same time, even though he tried his best to avoid them, he could only kick them over and avoid them...

As for the remaining two, one slashed fiercely at his left arm, and the other slashed at his back.

When the wind roared from behind, he thought he could no longer hide.

But who knows, at the moment when the sharp pain in his left arm came, there was a muffled groan from behind him.

He quickly turned over and looked at the person behind him, only to see a wooden arrow hit the man in black's chest. The man's eyes were wide open until he died, and he didn't know who shot him from behind.

Only the direction of the arrow can prove that the arrow was shot from the top of the cave.

"Brother, do you have reinforcements?" An arrow from top to bottom disrupted the hearts of those men in black, and the third child looked at the boss and asked anxiously.

Listening to what the third child said, the eldest raised his head and glanced at the position on the top of the cave.

After all, he still didn't dare to gamble with his own life, he gave Meng Jing a hard look, and said, "Let's withdraw!"

With that said, he turned around and ran down the mountain with the remaining five brothers.

Meng Jing watched them leave.

He turned his head and glanced at the top of the cave.

After pondering for a moment, he took a deep breath with a sullen face, exhausted the last bit of internal strength, and swept towards the top of the cave.

As she expected, the face hidden behind the withered grass was one that he was all too familiar with.

"Are you OK?"

Chu Ci met the man's fierce gaze and walked towards him, stopped in front of him, and asked nervously.

Meng Jing glanced at her coldly, grabbed her hand firmly, and said, "Are you so disobedient?"

Chu Ci was aroused by his training, and while tearing off his middle coat, stripping off his clothes to bandage him, he said ruthlessly, "In the eyes of your regent, is it possible that I, Chu Ci, are the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of life?" Death, the one who abandoned his companions?"

Meng Jing pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

Chu Ci snorted again, and after helping him bandage the wounds on his body, he glared at him and asked, "Can you still go?"

Meng Jing looked at her dark and moist eyeballs, not only felt that he held his hand a little tighter, but said in a deep voice, "I don't know if those people will come back, listen to me, you go first, hide Get up, wait for Qinglongwei to find you!"

"I won't go!" Chu Ci yelled angrily at him, and after shouting, he took out the three skinny sweet potatoes from his bosom, stuffed them to him, and said, "Eat!"

Faced with her stubbornness, Meng Jing was full of anger. He suddenly raised his hand, opened the sweet potato in her hand, stared at her, and said word by word, "Chuci, you are obedient, Xiaoer and Xin My son needs you, they can't lose their mother after losing their father!"

Chu Ci did not expect Meng Jing to mention the two children at this time.

Her eyes softened all of a sudden, and there were tears in her eyes... Xiaoer, Xiner, what are her two children doing now?I don't know if they will cry and cry for her.

"Listen to me, go quickly and find a hidden place to hide! Never come out before Qinglongwei arrives!" Seeing her change of expression, Meng Jing immediately softened her voice and persuaded her again.

But Chu Ci still didn't agree to him.

She raised her sleeves, wiped her tears vigorously, looked at him, and said firmly, "Meng Jing, I said I won't leave you alone, and I will definitely not leave you!"

"Xiao'er and Xin'er...they can't lose their mother, nor can they lose their father, both of us must survive!"

"A Ci, don't be self-willed!" Meng Jing suppressed her voice and persuaded her again.

But Chu Ci ignored him, she looked directly at the left arm in his hand, and said, "It's just an arm injury, not a leg injury, so you should still be able to walk, right?"

Meng Jing said nothing.

Chu Ci didn't expect him to talk either, she grabbed his right arm, forcibly dragged him up, walked forward, and said as she walked, "I said that both of us must survive, so neither of us will survive." Die...the number of those people is not large, I bet they won't conduct a large-scale search, then I'll be a two-headed tortoise and spend time with them until the Azure Dragon Guards come to rescue them."

Hearing what Chu Ci said, Meng Jing finally became interested, glanced sideways at her, and asked in a deep voice, "Shrinking your head like a turtle, what does this mean?"

Chu Ci said, "When I made a detour to come here just now, I found a trap set by a hunter about five or six miles away from the back of the cave. Judging by the size, it should be for hunting large prey like wild boar. The place is quite large. It's more than enough for the two of us! We'll just 'fall into the trap' once and wait below."

"If it's possible, it's a good idea." Meng Jing said in a hoarse voice after being silent for a long time.

Seeing that he finally compromised, Chu Ci felt relieved, and couldn't help but snorted coldly, complaining to him, "It's just such a humiliating way, it's wronging our majestic regent!"

"No grievance!" After hearing what she said, Meng Jing said without thinking, "As long as you are with the person you like, you will not be wronged anywhere."

Chu Ci snorted, "Don't say that, don't forget, I'm already married, and my husband is Lu Yifeng."

When Meng Jing heard her mentioning Lu Yifeng, her face changed suddenly, and at the same time she stopped, looked at her and said, "If Lu Yifeng knows that we have shared weal and woe in the past two days, what do you think he will think?"

Hearing this, Chu Ci bit his lower lip hard, glared at him and said, "Are you forcing me to abandon you?"

"But you won't." Meng Jing looked at her deeply for a long time, then suddenly took her shoulders, and walked forward leaning on her, while saying, "This king knows, you will not abandon this king of!"

"..." Chu Ci no longer wanted to waste any more time with him.

He just dragged his injured foot without saying a word, and continued to walk forward.

After moving for about half an hour, the two finally found the place where the hunter set a trap.

"I've already checked. There is no prey below. You wait on it. I will jump down first to see if there is room for people inside. Then you come down." Chu Ci pushed Meng Jing away, let him stand against the tree, turned around and was about to Walk towards the trap.

But when he turned around, Meng Jing grabbed his arm. He frowned, glanced at him, and said, "Go, my king!"

After speaking, he pulled out the dagger at his waist, walked towards the trap, stopped at the edge, and jumped down.

He had already gone down, and Chu Ci could only wait on it.

After about half a cup of tea, Meng Jing's deep and hoarse voice came from under the trap, "A Ci, there is room for people below, can you jump down?"

"Understood!" Chu Ci responded, then limped towards the trap, and then jumped lightly.

It was dark under the trap. After she jumped down and fell into the arms of the man, she realized that Meng Jing came down first to catch her.

"Are you okay?" Before she could be shy, she jumped off his arms and asked about his injured arm.

Meng Jing took a deep breath, and said calmly, "It's okay, this king can bear it!"

"Let me help you to sit down first!" Taking advantage of the sporadic light from above, Chu Ci helped Meng Jing up, and walked towards a place similar to a groove on the side.

Sitting there, without the wind blowing or raining, I think it should be more comfortable.

Meng Jing had no objection, she held her hand and walked towards the groove next to her.

After reaching the heels, Chu Ci picked up some fallen leaves and threw them on them, and then the two sat down.

"Here!" After sitting down, Chu Ci took out the three little sweet potatoes and handed them to Meng Jing.

Meng Jing didn't refuse this time. After eating a sweet potato three times, he squinted his eyes and said to her, "I'm a little sleepy, let's squint for a while. After half an hour, remember to call Ben." king."

"Well, I see, you go to sleep." Chu Ci also chewed a small sweet potato, and agreed casually.

Meng Jing closed her eyes.

Before going to bed, he confessed again worriedly, "You must remember, it's half an hour."

"Yeah, I know." Chu Ci replied again, and Meng Jing leaned against her and fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Ci tilted his head, looked at the man leaning on his shoulder, and wanted to push him away, but thinking of the injuries he had suffered for himself, he couldn't do anything.

In the end, he could only let him fall asleep like this...

She estimates the time.

At half an hour, that is, an hour later, he turned his head and whispered softly in his ear, "Meng Jing..."

Meng Jing didn't respond.

Chu Ci thought about the experience of his two visits, and for a while, he couldn't bear to let her go, so he just fell asleep leaning on her.

Meng Jing woke up more than an hour later, when it was getting dark.

He looked up at the sky and knew that Chu Ci didn't call him on time.

However, since she was already asleep, he couldn't argue with her.

He just raised his uninjured arm and held her tighter.

Night has finally come.

Some dangers that only exist in the dark also come unconsciously.

Meng Jing took another look at Chu Ci in his arms, and after confirming that she would not wake up in a short time, he gently pulled out his hand from behind him.

Then he pulled out the dagger from his waist, looked at the darkness in front of him for a moment, listened to the voice above, and kept vigil for her.

Chu Ci didn't know what happened that night.

All she knew was that when she woke up, there was a puddle of stinky blood in front of her.

"Meng Jing, did I sleep all night? So... what is it?" She rubbed her eyes lightly, looked at the pool of blood in front of her, and asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Meng Jing rubbed her heartily with a smile, and said softly, "It's nothing."

After a pause, he asked her again, "Are you hungry, here, eat!"

Chu Ci looked at the last sweet potato in his hand, but didn't take it, but said, "You put in a lot of effort, so you should eat it."

Meng Jing shook her head, forced the little sweet potato to her and said, "This king has already eaten it, this is specially reserved for you."

"Have you eaten?" Chu Ci expressed disbelief, "There is nothing in this trap, what are you eating? Don't lie to me, Qinglongwei doesn't know when it will come, you are wounded, or you go first eat!"

Hearing what she said, Meng Jing's eyes suddenly became deep, and he looked straight at her and said, "Do you really want to know what this king eats?"

Chu Ci was stunned, "According to what you said, have you really eaten?"

Meng Jing nodded, then pointed to the pool of blood in front of her and said, "The one you ate!"

Chu Ci shivered all over, only feeling that the stench became stronger.

"Eat it quickly!" Meng Jing glanced at the little sweet potato in her hand, and urged her again.

But Chu Ci couldn't eat anymore. She looked at Meng Jing with complicated eyes, hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "What is that thing?"

Meng Jing saw the fear and worry in her eyes, and after pondering for a moment, said, "Wild bird."

"Wild birds?" Chu Ci didn't believe it, "How could there be wild birds in the trap?"

Meng Jing explained seriously, "You slept soundly last night, and this king was really hungry, so when Ye Xiao flew past, he hit one of them with a stone!"

"Oh..." Chu Ci glanced at her again, and then pretended to believe him.

Dun Dun, looking at the black crows in his eyes, he said again, "My lord didn't sleep last night, do you want to sleep for a while now... It's daytime, and there is no danger. If there is any movement, I will Just call you!"

"That's good." Meng Jing stayed up all night, and at this time she really couldn't hold on anymore, so she looked at her, and said in a calm voice, "Wake up this king in an hour! Don't forget this time, and don't follow her again." The king fell asleep!"

Chu Ci was told by him like this, and he suddenly remembered yesterday that he asked her to call him, but she didn't have the nerve to call him, but she fell asleep with him. ,

All of a sudden, her cheeks became hot, she bit her lip, looked at him and said weakly, "I see, I will definitely wake you up today!"

Meng Jing nodded, and then fell asleep leaning against her.

After he closed his eyes, Chu Ci stared at the pool of blood in front of her in a daze.

So what is it?

Is it really like what Meng Jing said, it's a wild bird, a night owl?
Or was it something else he didn't want her to know?
But the more he didn't want her to know, the more curious she became.

She didn't believe that he could eat fur and skeletons!

She must find out the answer that was buried by him.

Thinking like this, she simply withdrew her gaze, looked at Meng Jing beside her, and called out twice tentatively, "Prince? Regent? Meng Jing..."

Meng Jing closed her eyes tightly, looking like she was asleep.
