After Chu Lian finished treating her wounds, she sat to the side and stared blankly. After a while, when she didn't hear any sound, she carefully turned her head to look at him. She repeated this action a few times, but the bearded man didn't react.

Chu Lian frowned, thinking that he had fallen asleep.

He Changdi wasn't asleep. At this moment, he had a splitting headache. The high fever that had just subsided earlier in the morning had flared up again. On top of that, he was covered in cold sweat when he carried Chu Lian back to the cave. After that, he went hunting and washed the pheasants with cold water by the stream. The poison in his body hadn't been cleansed yet, and after a day of hard work, his body couldn't take it anymore.

This was because He Sanlang's body was strong and he trained every day. If it was a normal man, he probably wouldn't even be able to resist the poison.

With the previous example, Chu Lian didn't dare to provoke him again. She thought that he was asleep, so she let him be.

Her gaze fell on the two fat pheasants roasting on the fire. After being out for half a day, she had fed all the dried meat she brought with her to the bearded man. She hadn't eaten properly for almost a day, so when she saw the fat pheasants roasting on the fire, she couldn't help but salivate.

Chu Lian reached out and took one. As she moved, she carefully glanced at the man beside her. Seeing that he didn't have any reaction, she became a little braver.

Only the surface of the pheasant was cooked. Chu Lian sniffed it. Because she didn't have time to turn it over, the side that had been roasting on the fire was already slightly charred …

Chu Lian glanced at the man beside her, then her gaze fell on the pheasant in her hand.

Did this bearded man only plan on throwing the pheasant over the fire and roasting it?

Chu Lian was extremely suspicious. By the time the bearded man woke up, these two pheasants might not even be edible. They would probably be burnt to a crisp by now.

Even if they weren't burnt to a crisp, they would definitely be burnt on the outside and not cooked on the inside …

Chu Lian rolled her eyes. She took out a small pouch and a small and exquisite dagger from her waist.

Then, she took out two slender white porcelain bottles from the pouch.

As an experienced foodie, how could she not carry a seasoning bag with her when she was out?

Of the two porcelain bottles, one was a finely ground green salt, and the other was Chu Lian's own ground five-spice powder. This kind of five-spice powder was the most convenient to carry around.

He used a dagger to cut open the thick part of the pheasant, and then spread green salt and five-spice powder evenly on the body and belly of the pheasant. He found a flat and thin stone in the cave, cleaned it, and threw it over the fire to roast. When the stone was hot, he put the cut pheasant on the stone.

Barbecuing on a stone slab could allow the food to be heated evenly and not burn easily. It was also more convenient to turn the food over.

Chu Lian glanced at the remaining pheasant. Thinking of how the bearded man had taken advantage of her before, she curled her lips and decided to ignore the pheasant. Since he wanted to roast it and eat it, she would satisfy him.

He Sanlang's head was dizzy, and his whole body was uncomfortable. He wasn't asleep at all. He was just resting with his eyes closed, too lazy to move.

He vaguely saw Chu Lian roasting a pheasant over the fire, and his mood warmed up.

Then, he saw her take a small pouch from her waist and sprinkle the seasoning on the pheasant. He actually wanted to laugh.

When did this poisonous woman become a foodie? She didn't forget to bring seasoning when she went out, and she even had a knife to cut vegetables with …

His vision gradually became blurry, and his head became even more dizzy. In his eyes, he could still see the image of Chu Lian busying herself. It was strange. They were clearly the same person, but why did he feel like the Chu Lian in front of him was slowly separating from the Chu Lian from his previous life?

Her stomach was already growling a few times. Chu Lian stared at the roasted pheasant over the fire, and her saliva almost dripped down.

The salted and seasoned pheasant gradually emitted a seductive fragrance. The fat in the chicken skin was being roasted over the fire, and it slowly turned brown. The exposed chicken was covered in a thin layer of fat, and it was easy to imagine how tender it would be after taking a bite.

Chu Lian carefully took the roasted pheasant from the stone slab and placed it on a clean stone to cool. Just as she was about to tear off a fat and tender drumstick, another hand suddenly moved faster than her.

Chu Lian's eyes widened as she looked at the bearded man who had woken up at some point. He had already torn off a drumstick and put it in his mouth.

When she came back to her senses, she said angrily, "Why did you eat my pheasant?!

Yours is still on the fire! "

He Sanlang bit down on the part of the drumstick that had the most meat. The skin was crispy, and the fat sizzled out. The meat was tender, and it was simply fragrant. The deliciousness that he had never tasted before was instantly imprinted in his memory.

He was also very hungry, so he finished the drumstick in two or three bites.

Needless to say, in this life, this poisonous woman really knew how to eat. The only thing worth praising about her was her superb culinary skills.

Since she was still his wife, and she occupied the position of his legal wife, there was no reason for him not to enjoy some benefits, right?

When He Sanlang saw Chu Lian's angry expression, as if she couldn't do anything to him, He Sanlang felt his extremely uncomfortable body feel a little better.

He Sanlang swallowed the last bite of the drumstick and threw the bones to the side. He raised his head and looked at Chu Lian with narrowed eyes. Only then did he answer her, "I hunted this pheasant."

Chu Lian immediately choked and couldn't speak.

She tried her best to calm her anger, but he was right. The pheasant was caught by someone else. At most, she only processed it a little. If he wanted to steal her food, she had no right to stop him.

In the end, Chu Lian could only fiercely glare at him.

Chu Lian only ate one drumstick and a few tender pieces of meat from the whole pheasant. The rest went into He Sanlang's stomach.

Chu Lian rubbed her slightly bloated stomach, but she still blamed He Sanlang for eating too much and that she wasn't full.

He Sanlang leaned against the cave wall. He couldn't be bothered to look at this woman who said one thing but meant another.

Chu Lian didn't realize that even He Changdi himself didn't realize that when the two of them were eating a roast chicken, He Sanlang shared all the best parts of the pheasant with Chu Lian, except for the drumstick that he ate at the beginning. Only when Chu Lian was full did He Sanlang take the leftover parts.

Chu Lian couldn't do anything about this overlord who stole her food. After the two of them finished eating, Chu Lian looked at the other pheasant that was already placed next to her. She sighed in her heart. She couldn't really waste food.

In the end, she had no choice but to deal with the remaining half-roasted pheasant. She wrapped it in clean dead leaves and put it aside as tomorrow's food.

Chu Lian looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the cave, and then carefully looked at the bearded man beside her. She didn't know if he had the confidence to take her out of this desolate and uninhabited mountain forest.

Chu Lian secretly decided in her heart that if the bearded man didn't mention leaving tomorrow, she would have an open and honest talk with him.

The night came again. This time, Chu Lian was especially careful. She spread the large cloth on her body opposite the bearded man, and then slowly lay down. She even turned her back to the bearded man.

He Sanlang snorted coldly in his heart. He didn't care about Chu Lian's defensive movements. He just lay down and put his hands behind his head. His body wasn't feeling well, so he quickly fell asleep.

However, Chu Lian couldn't sleep no matter how she tossed and turned. Even though it was a winter night in the cave, she still wanted to curl up into a ball even though she was by the fire.

Recalling the warmth from last night, Chu Lian was extremely discouraged.

She curled up and hugged her knees. She was about to curl into a ball, and she forced herself to close her eyes to rest.

This kind of psychological coercion was still useful. Plus, she had tossed and turned for a long time during the day. Soon, she fell into a dark and sweet sleep.

She didn't know how long she slept. In a daze, Chu Lian heard people talking. The fire beside her had already been extinguished, and she woke up from the cold.

She wrapped the cloak around her body, and under the moonlight outside the cave, she added some dead branches to the fire. When the cave was lit up again, Chu Lian realized that the voice she heard in her dream was actually from the bearded man opposite her.

She first carefully stared at the bearded man for a while. Seeing that he didn't respond at all, she got up and limped over to the cave wall.

When she moved to the bearded man's side, she saw that half of his face was bright red from the light of the fire. The few strands of hair on his forehead were even wet with sweat. Chu Lian jumped in fright and hurriedly reached out to touch the man's forehead.

The moment she touched it, Chu Lian retracted her hand in the next second. It was really too hot.

At this time, Chu Lian also became anxious. Although the bearded man was really annoying, she couldn't let anything happen to him right now. If something happened to him, she really wouldn't be able to leave this mountain forest.

Chu Lian clenched her teeth. She squatted next to the fire and made a simple torch. Then, she hopped out with one leg.

If she remembered correctly, there was a small stream a few dozen meters outside the cave.

Chu Lian, who only had one leg, took half an hour to go back and forth a distance of a hundred meters.

She covered the bearded man's burning forehead with a soaked cloth, and then she undid the armor and clothes in front of his chest, revealing a sturdy and powerful chest.

At this critical moment, Chu Lian didn't even have the mood to admire the man. She hurriedly used the wet cloth to wipe his chest and palms to cool it down.

However, He Sanlang's skin was really good. He trained hard every day in the Northern Military Camp and was practically exposed to the sun and wind, but his skin didn't tan much. It wasn't much different from when he was in Shengjing. If he hadn't deliberately grown a beard and changed into a sturdy armor, no one would have believed that he was the descendant of a family of generals, or even a fierce general in the army.

Although his chest also had nice chest muscles, they weren't the bronze color of many of the strong men in the army. His skin was slightly pale, but it wasn't the kind of pale white that came from not seeing the sun all year round. Instead, it was a healthy and natural whiteness.

He really lived up to his name of Yu Sanlang.

Chu Lian continuously wiped the bearded man like this three or four times. When she touched his forehead again, she finally noticed that his temperature had dropped slightly.

Chu Lian let out a sigh of relief. As long as she continued like this, the bearded man should be able to make it through tonight.

At this time, the man beside her suddenly started to talk in his sleep again.

"You evil woman!

I will never forgive you!

You … keep dreaming! "
