Chapter 59 The Obscure Heart
After an hour, Lyu Liang was finished. After returning to the farmhouse with Dongfang Xiaoyu, he carefully examined it everywhere and actually found salt!
Lyu Liang started his own work, picked up branches and stones from the surrounding area, and made a bonfire in front of the farmhouse. Then he used the method of drilling wood to get fire, and began to roast the wolf meat.
This series of techniques were smooth for Lyu Liang. In the Four Seasons Village, the little monkeys also brought in some wild beast meat to let him roast it. Every time they would be slobbering and waiting to eat.
Now, the role of the little monkey had been replaced by Dongfang Xiaoyu with the same fixed eyes, the same drooling. All of this, for her who ate delicate cuisine from childhood, was as novel as the Arabian Nights. In her gaze towards Lyu Liang, a hint of worship unconsciously appeared.
When Lyu Liang put a piece of cooked meat on the branch, it was robbed by Dongfang Xiaoyu who could not wait for it. Even if it was hot, she would not forget to praise Lyu Liang’s roasting method! According to her, this was the best barbecue she had ever tasted since she was born!
After that, Lyu Liang roasted a few more pieces, and the two people ate happily. After eating, Lyu Liang went back to the house to find a big bucket and went to the small river not far away to take a bucket of water. Since they had become mortals, they had to live according to the laws of mortals. He had a hunch that today’s wolf was just the beginning, and there should be more powerful beasts coming over tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be too easy to ‘live seven days’ according to the previous voice.
In the afternoon, Lyu Liang and Dongfang Xiaoyu put the farmhouse in good order, and they both argued about how to sleep.
According to Lyu Liang, the man slept outside, and the woman slept in the room. But Dongfang Xiaoyu did not agree, she said that she would be afraid, and there were beasts outside. If Lyu Liang were eaten by beasts at night, there was no place to complain.
Finally, Lyu Liang simply took a bunch of leaves from the outside, pulled a bed sheet from the only bed, laid on the floor directly and slept with his clothes. This was also the way the two people ultimately agreed.
In the evening, Lyu Liang roasted the remaining pieces of meat, and the two still enjoyed the taste. When they got to sleep, even if they had discussed it before, it was still a bit embarrassing.
After lying on the bed with a red face, Dongfang Xiaoyu couldn’t sleep, secretly looked at Lyu Liang on the ground, and found that he was also thinking about something with his eyes open.
Lyu Liang was really thinking about things. He didn’t know whether the other four teammates had already got together after the 7 days. If they could not find him, they might be anxious. However, since he had come in here, regret was useless. The only purpose now was to survive for seven days and get out alive!
“Silly boy, what are you thinking?” Dongfang Xiaoyu could not hold it anymore.
“What? Oh, I was wondering whether my teammates would have gathered in these few days?” Lyu Liang told the truth.
“Maybe! Oh, by the way, that red-robed fairy, what is her relationship with you?” Dongfang Xiaoyu did not know what happened, and the appearance of Shangguan Ying immediately appeared in the mind.
Hearing this familiar question, Lyu Liang thought a little and said in a very sure tone, “She is my Taoist companion who will marry me!”
“Oh, I see that your relationship is not normal! Well, I have to sleep, tomorrow is another day!” After that, Dongfang Xiaoyu turned around, but could not sleep more. A sense of irritation that had never been seen before appeared in her heart, her brain was also in a mess. Finally, she hammered her own small head with annoyance and forced herself not to think about it.
It was only till the middle of the night, the two people with different minds fell into sleep.
On the second day, Dongfang Xiaoyu was awakened by the roar of a beast. When she sat up, Lyu Liang had already stood outside the door with an iron sword. On the opposite side of him, it was a leopard ready to rush over with an arched body!
It was a dark and violent struggle between life and death. The speed of the leopard was significantly faster than that of yesterday’s wolf. After almost an hour, Lyu Liang won again. However, a not too shallow incision was made at his left arm.
Seeing that Lyu Liang made a victory sign, the heart of Dongfang Xiaoyu suddenly emerged a sense of happiness that had never been seen before! In front of her, Lyu Liang’s silly smile made her feel so pleased.
As Lyu Liang’s arm was hurt, she immediately turned and pulled a long strip of cloth from the sheets, and according to the method taught by her mother, she smoothly wrapped up Lyu Liang’s arm.
Looking at such a perfect dressing technique, Lyu Liang gave a thumbs up to Dongfang Xiaoyu for the first time, which made the girl suddenly feel a sense of accomplishment. Different from the feeling of being proud in the past, this was a kind of feeling that she was also useful!
After two days of fighting, Lyu Liang also understood it. It was no accident that the beasts all came to make trouble in the morning. After discussing with Dongfang Xiaoyu, Lyu Liang went to the nearby woods to find fruits. According to him, meat could not be eaten every day, so they had to change their diet.
Therefore, he volunteered to go out and find some fruits. He also said that during his absence, Dongfang Xiaoyu must not leave too far from the farmhouse. If there was danger, she should enter the house first and stay until Lyu Liang returned.
After eating the leopard meat at noon, Lyu Liang went out and also took out his own sheets and prepared to use it to package fruits.
After more than an hour, Lyu Liang carried a big parcel and came back happily. After opening it, in addition to a lot of fruit, there were actually sweet potatoes and some green vegetables. According to him, out of the woods to the east, there was actually a vegetable field, these vegetables including sweet potatoes. Later, their meals had more choices and variety.
Lyu Liang was skilled. In the process of living with his old father before the age of 12, his basic cooking skills could not be more proficient.
At dinner time, in addition to the leopard meat, more sweet potatoes and green vegetables were roasted. Dongfang Xiaoyu had completely abandoned her restraint, ate happily regardless of her image, and let Lyu Liang unconsciously think of the appearance of Zhu Yan and Li Wuyi at the dinner table.
Looking at the happy Dongfang Xiaoyu, Lyu Liang also sighed slightly. “This is a girl who is completely different from Shangguan Ying. One is bleak like warm water, the other one is lively clever like a fire.” It was undeniable that the two people’s looks were top-tier. However, except for Shangguan Ying, the candidates of Taoist companions in his heart could no longer be other women.
Dongfang Xiaoyu seemed like Lyu Xinyun, the two were at the same age, were both clever and mischievous, so Lyu Liang unconsciously regarded her as a sister.
They spent the second day with satisfaction. That night, the two just went to sleep early after a few simple conversations. After all, on the third morning, they had to meet the challenge of a beast.
Lyu Liang thought before going to sleep. “In addition to my own efforts, should I use some external force?”
…
Early on the third day, it was not a surprise that another deafening roar came. Lyu Liang, who was already prepared, armed with an iron sword, rushed out of the house. In addition, there was a bag of sharp stones that had been sharpened on his waist. This time, the opponent was a black bear with a height of six meters.
In this battle, Lyu Liang was wise to choose not to fight only by strength, but to lead the bear to the woods and sneak around a trunk. After an hour of fighting, Lyu Liang stabbed the sword when the black bear was not prepared, the sword stabbed in its left eye, then Lyu Liang chased after it, taking advantage and killing the black bear. As soon as the battle was over, Lyu Liang fell to the ground with his four limbs stretched out. He really had no strength left.
This time, he did not escape his fate of being hurt. A deep incision was made on his left leg by the claw of the bear, and blood did not stop flowing. Dongfang Xiaoyu was almost completely covered with tears when she dressed Lyu Liang, and only laughed after seeing that Lyu Liang was still alive and talked happily.
After lunch, Lyu Liang went to the woods. He had to make a trap. Today’s giant bear made him feel that if he relied on his own power, this should be his limit!
Dongfang Xiaoyu was ignorant in this respect. See could only watch Lyu Liang being busy. When she saw him sweating, she took out a piece of cloth and cleaned his sweat. Later. When he was at the busiest time, Lyu Liang couldn’t take care of himself. Dongfang Xiaoyu didn’t say anything and directly helped him wipe his sweat.
Lyu Liang first was stunned, then turned his head and met the slightly flustered eyes of Dongfang Xiaoyu, and then with a grateful smile, he began to work again. Seeing Lyu Liang’s reaction, an unspeakable sense of well-being had emerged in the heart of Dongfang Xiaoyu. The panic in her eyes had disappeared and was replaced with an unprecedented firmness.
On the third day, Lyu Liang spent his time in busy work. Looking at the traps that he arranged in front of him, a heroic spirit slowly came to the heart of Lyu Liang.
…
At the same time, three days later, in the Land of Origin, before the tree converted from the restriction formation where Lyu Liang and Dongfang Xiaoyu entered, Li Wuyi’s figure appeared in the sky, at this time was looking down.
Around him, a pretty woman wearing a blue palace dress was standing. At this moment, she was staring at Li Wuyi without any words.
“Haha, Chi, Chishui Fairy, I, I am sure, one of my teammates is just below this. The location prompted by the jade talisman should not be wrong, but why can’t I feel anything? Or, could, could you help me to search?” As long as he was facing the beautiful woman’s gaze, his speech would unconsciously stutter.
He also hated his incompetence in his heart. Not only was he saved by this girl, but how could he lose his ability to speak smoothly in front of this beauty? When did he become so bad?
Chishui Fairy sighed slightly and pointed the big tree directly below them. She shook her head and said, “This tree is a restriction formation established by a powerful figure. It is impossible for me to solve it. As I expected, your teammates are supposed to be in the cave residence under the protection of this restriction formation, and he should be experiencing an opportunity. If you are not in a hurry to find someone else, you can wait a few days here.”
“Let it be, Fairy, let’s go to the east to find the two other people. Since it is an opportunity, who knows how many days are needed for him to come out, it is better to find all the other people first, then we will wait together.” Li Wuyi turned his eyes, and scratched his head, “That, then, are you still following me?”
Chishui Fairy nodded slightly and said softly, “My teammates are in the same direction, and we can still go together.” At the same time, she also murmured in her heart. “If I don’t follow you, you should have died a few times with your strength!”
Li Wuyi’s eyes revealed a pleasant surprise, hurriedly nodded, and then said a sentence that almost made Chishui Fairy fall to the ground, “Fairy, you can rest assured, as long as there is me, no one can touch your hair!”
