"Maybe, my nose is a little itchy." Yan Ruocheng wiped his nose and said.
"How about we all sit over the fire and sleep, instead of crowding on this shabby table." Huang Chenling stretched her back and suggested.
"No, there are haystacks around. I'm afraid there are snakes hidden in them. If I fall asleep, a snake will crawl over and it will be troublesome. It's safer to just sit on the table." Yan Ruocheng said in disagreement.
"When did you become so afraid of snakes?" Huang Chenling asked in confusion.
"It's not that I'm afraid of snakes, it's that I don't have the medicine to detoxify the snake venom. Even if I collect medicine, I can't find the antidote, so I have to be careful beforehand." Yan Ruozhen explained.
"I feel like if you don't have a medicine box with you, you'll be extra cautious." Huang Chenling said vomitingly.
"Of course, especially since I have to take care of you, the emperor." Yan Ruocheng retorted.
The two of them chatted and dozed off, and unknowingly stayed up until dawn. They started on their way early in the morning.
"Oh, I didn't sleep at all last night. I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my back, and the wound started to hurt again." Huang Chenling pressed her hands on her waist like an old uncle.
Walking slowly while holding on to the tree.
"How tired are you? You fell asleep in the middle of the night. I held you to sleep. I should be the one who said you were tired." Yan Ruozhen carried dry food on his back and took a bite of dried salted fish in his hand.
Said angrily.
"Did you eat dried salted fish? You ate so much that you were so strong?" Huang Chenling asked curiously.
"It's possible, do you want to take a bite?" Yan Ruocheng handed him the dried salted fish.
"No need, I feel even more disgusted when I look at it. Please help me walk, I can't walk anymore." Huang Chenling said coquettishly.
"I'm really scared of you. We still have to walk two hills to get out of the woods." Yan Ruocheng went over to help him.
At this time, a person's scream came from somewhere not far away, as if someone had been bitten by a snake.
"Master, how are you?" The servant quickly used a dagger to help the master cut the wound on his foot that was bitten by the snake, and let the poisonous blood flow out.
Yan Ruozhen and Huang Chenling heard the sound and went over to take a look. It turned out that two people got out of a carriage. One of them was bitten by a snake and fell to the ground unable to move.
"I'll go over and check on them." Yan Ruocheng went over to help.
"Just scratching the wound like this won't cure the poison." She looked at the man's wound and saw that the black spot had spread to the entire calf.
"Girl, who are you?" The servant raised his head and asked in a panic.
"A doctor who specializes in detoxification without a medicine kit. Let me come. Lend me the dagger. If you have any wine, bring it. If not, bring water. And you go make a fire immediately and move quickly." Yan
Ruocheng said seriously.
The servant felt that she was trustworthy and gave her the dagger and did as she said.
First, use a dagger to cut several wounds on the man's calf, trying to let out the spreading poisonous blood. The servant came over with wine and water. She first took wine and sprinkled it on the wound, and then used a silver needle to prick the acupuncture point on the thigh.
Let the poisonous blood spread to the heart more slowly.
The servants had already gone to make a fire, and she went to find some antidote herbs nearby.
Huang Chenling felt that the man bitten by the snake looked familiar. The man had a scarf covering his entire face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
He walked into this person, knelt down, and wanted to lift his hood to see clearly who he was.
"What are you doing? Come here and help me smash the herbs together to get some juice." Yan Ruocheng picked a lot of herbs and said.
"Okay." Huang Chenling stopped her hand and went over to help.
The two of them worked together to smash the herb with a stone to get some juice. Yan Ruoqi took the juice and spread it evenly on the person's calf. He then boiled the herb into a medicinal soup and fed it to the person to drink.
After Yan Ruozhen took the medicine, he also felt that this person looked familiar, so he casually pulled off his turban and took a look. It turned out to be Nalan, whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Before Na Xiao woke up, Yan Ruocheng asked this servant and found out that Na Xiao was now a foreign trade businessman and was returning from another country. When passing by, Na Xiao went to relieve himself and was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake. He thought he was bitten by a poisonous snake.
It's okay, the scene just happened when I walked back to the carriage.
After that, the servant asked Yan Ruocheng and others to go together, and they all got into the carriage.
Na Xiao was sleeping on Yan Ruocheng's lap, while Huang Chenling was watching from the side. She was displeased every second and said, "Why did you let him rest on your thigh? Isn't it okay to just lie down like this?"
?"
"What are you being stingy about? He is still poisoned. We are friends after all. Why are you so mean?" Yan Ruocheng said helplessly.
"He is only friends with you, not me. If he wakes up and sees you like this for the first time, I'm afraid he will misunderstand something." Huang Chenling said with confidence.
"What could he have misunderstood?" Yan Ruocheng asked desperately.
Huang Chenling was so angry that she reached out to pinch her cheek and said, "I misunderstood that you are a sentimental person."
"Hahaha, I'm not passionate at all. I'm just carefree." Yan Ruocheng reached out her hand mischievously and pinched his handsome face, and said with a smile.
"Isn't this still the same? You're still pinching me!"
"Please give me a pinch for your jealousy."
The two were flirting, and the people below stared at their show of affection, their eyes turning white.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years, why did I see you two guys flirting when we met?" Na Xiao said with a look of despair on his face, looking down on them.
"Naxiao, you have been poisoned by snake venom, don't move now." Yan Ruocheng pressed his body and said hurriedly.
"I don't intend to move. After so many years of not seeing you, why are you getting more and more beautiful?" Na Xiao ignored Huang Chenling and wanted to reach out and touch Yan Ruocheng's face.
Huang Chenling pressed his hand, squeezed it, and said threateningly: "She told you not to move, did you forget it so quickly? If you die from the poison, don't rely on us."
"Why are you, a foolish king, here? Shouldn't you stay in the palace?" Na Xiao asked doubtfully.
"What qualifications do you, a traitor from the Emerald Kingdom, have to speak against me, and I'm not a foolish king." Huang Chenling said eloquently.
A few years ago, Na Xiao was found to have betrayed the Jade Kingdom's intelligence. He saved his life, but was dismissed from his post and investigated. This matter was also related to Huang Chenling. In fact, he was tricked by Huang Chenling, which made the valley drunk.
He thought that Na Xiao had betrayed him and that was why he was like this. After this incident, Yan Ruozhen did not see Na Xiao again for several years.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. It was you, a despicable guy, who tricked me that time and made me believe what you said." Na Xiao became angry when he recalled it.
"Okay, let's not bring up your past grudges for now! Be quiet!" Yan Ruozhen was caught in the middle and put out the anger between the two of them.
"Huh, it was this stupid gentleman who started it all. I don't want to mention it. Ruocheng, I was so angry that he made me dizzy. Please rub it for me." Naxiao said to Yan Ruocheng coquettishly.
"Rub your head." Huang Chenling naturally refused to let Yan Ruocheng rub it for him and started to stop her.
Yan Ruocheng slapped his obstructing hand away, protected Na Xiao, and said, "Stop making trouble. Na Xiao is really poisoned by snake venom. If you were so angry just now, he would really have a headache."
"You actually protected him and slapped my hand!" Huang Chenling said with eyes wide open.
Yan Ruocheng pursed his lips, feeling that if he didn't coax Huang Chenling back, it would be really difficult to coax him back soon, so he pulled him over and whispered a few words in his ear, Huang Chenling became less so.
angry.
"Hehe... Okay, I will reluctantly let you take care of him for a while." Huang Chenling said with a smirk.
"Ruo Li, what did you say to him to make him look so hateful?" Na Xiao asked.
"Hahaha, it's nothing. Leave him alone. If you have a headache, Naxiao, I'll rub it for you. You can just close your eyes and rest." Yan Ruocheng said deceptively.
It was already dark when the carriage came out of the woods. We also arrived at a small inn where we could rest for the night.
Yan Ruozhen helped Na Xiao with acupuncture to force the toxin out of the body. Fortunately, there were enough medicinal materials to detoxify the snake in the inn, so she was able to make a good decoction for Na Xiao to drink.
She waited until Naxiao fell asleep before going back to her room.
Huang Chenling had already finished bathing, changed into clean inner clothes, and lay on the big bed waiting for her.
"It's so late, why don't you go to bed first?" Yan Ruocheng said knowingly.
"Didn't you say that after you cured that guy, you'd better play with me?" Huang Chenling said with a smile.
"Wait for me to wash my feet and freshen up first." After Yan Ruocheng finished speaking, he picked up the wooden basin and went out.
By the time she came back, Huang Chenling was so tired that she fell asleep.
She put on her underwear, hugged him carefully, and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Huang Chenling lay on the bed depressed, unwilling to get up.
"How long are you going to keep making trouble? Get up quickly and wash up!" Yan Ruocheng was slowly combing her hair and said to him.
"You broke your promise last night and refused to fulfill it while I was asleep." Huang Chenling hugged the wooden pillow and said angrily.
"You were too tired last night. Do I have to wake you up and make you so tired?" Yan Ruocheng said with a smile.
"Last night doesn't count, we have to continue today!" Huang Chenling wanted to get it back.
"No, it can only be once, but you missed it. Get up quickly and cheer up." Yan Ruocheng smiled playfully, got up and went out.
"I knew you were lying to me from the beginning!" Huang Chenling was still noisy on the bed.
Yan Ruocheng smiled and poked his head back and said, "Did you just know now? You're stupid."
"You--!"
After several of them had lunch at the inn, they prepared to set off for the inn.
Yan Ruocheng and Huang Chenling were like hungry ghosts reincarnated, eating non-stop.
"You two, eat slowly. If others don't know where you are, they will think you are beggars?" Na Xiao said jokingly.
"Hmph, you don't know what it's like to eat only dried salted fish and dry food all day long. I've tasted it, and I'm so thirsty that I feel like I'm in a dry desert without water." Huang Chenling said pretending to be proud while eating.
.
"Why are you eating salted fish now that I feel aggrieved? That's my aunt's wish."
"She doesn't have to pickle it until it's as salty as a dried salted fish, and she doesn't prepare a kettle for us either."
Huang Chenling and Yan Ruocheng were fighting each other.
Na Xiao listened and asked, "You haven't told me yet, why are you here?"
