Chu Lian's brows furrowed slightly. She first stood up and looked around. Then, she squatted down and put the herbs she had just gathered into her mouth. She chewed up a small portion for He Changdi to swallow, then applied the rest to the wound on the side of his neck.

Perhaps it was because he wasn't feeling well, but He Sanlang's brows were tightly knitted together. Chu Lian tried to rub his brows a few times, but it was useless. In the end, she could only let him be.

Chu Lian went out to search for another hour. Finally, she found a simple cave next to a mound of dirt. Although it wasn't big, it was enough for them to stay for the time being.

It was the beginning of winter and they were in the forest. It was fine during the day, but once night came or the weather changed, even a healthy person wouldn't be able to withstand the bitter cold.

As soon as Chu Lian came out of the cave, she heard the pitter-patter of the rain on the leaves.

Chu Lian cursed under her breath, "Wretched Heavens!" and hurriedly ran towards He Sanlang's direction.

When she saw that the man who saved her was still safely leaning against the pine tree, Chu Lian let out a sigh of relief.

She didn't care that her face was wet from the rain. She helped He Sanlang up and walked towards the cave.

Unfortunately, He Sanlang had long legs and long arms. He was already a head taller than Chu Lian, and he was also a strong and slender general. How could a delicate girl like Chu Lian carry him?

It was a cold day. Chu Lian braved the rain for a long time and was covered in sweat. When she looked back, she realized that she had only dragged the man for less than five meters …

When she realized this, she felt like all the energy in her body had left her.

Chu Lian cried out in pain. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground. Without support, the unconscious He Changdi also fell on top of her.

Chu Lian was so angry that she wanted to cry. She stared at the man's broad shoulders and punched him twice. She pouted and complained, "Why are you so tall?!"

Although she was complaining, Chu Lian couldn't really leave her savior in the rain in the forest. His body was already poisoned and he was unconscious. If he was really drenched in the winter rain, he might not even be able to keep his life by tomorrow morning.

Chu Lian gritted her teeth and used her hands to push herself up from the withered leaves on the ground.

She first helped the man sit up and leaned against the tree trunk. After thinking for a while, she took off her hood and covered the man.

Although this couldn't completely block the rain, it could prevent the rain from hitting the man directly.

After Chu Lian was done, she hugged herself and shook her arms. Then, she turned around and walked deeper into the forest.

This time, she only came back after more than an hour. He Changdi had a moment of clarity. He uncomfortably pulled down the clothes that blocked his vision and opened his eyes slightly with difficulty. He saw a familiar petite figure dragging a makeshift rattan stretcher with difficulty.

< script >

(fun() {

Var s = "_" + Math.random () .t (36) .slice (2);

Dot. write ('< div id = "' + s + '" >');

(window.sl otby dup = window.sl otby dup | | []) .push ({

id: '2801611',

tainer: s,

size: '20,5',

display: 'inlay-fix'

});

})();

He wanted to hold on for a while longer, but his body was boiling. He was completely out of his control and soon passed out again.

Chu Lian didn't have time to check on the man's condition. She placed the makeshift rattan stretcher next to He Sanlang and then pushed him onto the stretcher. She looked up at the sky where the rain was getting heavier and sighed helplessly. She carried the rattan connected to the stretcher and dragged He Changdi toward the cave that she had discovered earlier.

With the help of the stretcher, it was much easier to move than before. But even so, it took them an hour to reach the entrance of the cave.

When Chu Lian dragged the man into the cave, the rain hadn't stopped, but she had no strength left.

Leaning against the cave wall, Chu Lian panted for a long time before she could catch her breath. Raising her head to look outside the cave, she estimated the time and realized that it was already close to dusk.

Chu Lian glared at the man lying on the side. She had no choice but to force herself to look for firewood.

At night, the temperature in the forest would suddenly drop. Even if they found a temporary cave to spend the night in, without a fire to keep warm, they would still be frozen.

Plus, they were all wet from the rain. If they wanted to keep warm, they had to use fire to dry their clothes first.

Unfortunately, the dead branches and leaves in the forest were all wet from the rain. It was very difficult to find dry branches that could be burned at this time.

Chu Lian used a lot of effort to find some dry branches and leaves that hadn't been wet from the rain. She wrapped them in her skirt and hurriedly ran into the cave.

The sky darkened quickly. By the time Chu Lian returned to the cave, the last ray of light had disappeared. She couldn't even see her fingers in front of her.

Chu Lian sniffed and carefully placed the branches to the side. Then, she felt around a rock next to her. When she touched the flint she had hidden there, she let out a long sigh of relief.

She rubbed the flint in her hand twice and finally lit the small bundle of branches. There was a trace of warm light in the cold cave.

Chu Lian could finally relax when she saw the warm flames dancing around her.

But at the same time as he heaved a sigh of relief, his stomach began to growl.

Chu Lian was startled. Only then did she remember that apart from drinking a few mouthfuls of honey water, she hadn't eaten anything.

She felt around her waist. Luckily, the little pouch for snacks was still there. Chu Lian opened the pouch and found some dried meat inside. It was already half wet.

She took out a piece and ate it herself. Then, she looked down at the man who was still unconscious by the fire.

Chu Lian sighed and swallowed the delicious dried beef in her mouth. She looked at her pouch reluctantly, but in the end, she put it away.

This was all the food she had on her. There was a 'patient' next to her, so it was better to save it for him. As for herself, when the sun rose tomorrow morning, she would go out and see if there were any wild fruits in the forest.

Chu Lian used her hand to test the temperature of the man's head. She chewed on the remaining herbs and applied them to the wound on the side of the man's neck. When the wound was opened, the skin around the wound began to show its normal bright red color. It seemed that the herbs were useful.

Knowing this, Chu Lian let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she have time to dry her clothes.

She felt the man's clothes and found that they were also wet. Chu Lian looked down at the man's beard that covered half his face. She gritted her teeth and reached out to help the man take off his clothes and armor. Then, she placed them by the fire to dry.

Chu Lian looked at the man's muscular and thin upper body behind his bare neck. For a moment, she was in a daze. Her gaze moved down to the man's eight pack, and she swallowed unnaturally.

When she came back to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure, she quickly looked away and muttered softly, "He looks so thin and tall, but I didn't expect him to be so muscular after taking off his clothes."

After she finished muttering, she even made a face to hide her embarrassment.

Chu Lian simply didn't know that although He Changdi was currently unconscious, he was conscious. Her soft complaint that seemed to carry a hint of praise clearly fell into He Changdi's ears.
