Du Zhu and the Empress Dowager’s Various Matters (23)
Bai Weiwei coughed twice . All over, from the top to the bottom, her figure was feeble and weak .
If soaked in water in this kind of weather, physically unfit people would soon fall ill .
She struggled to get to Mu Yanjun, and found that his brows were furrowed and his complexion was pale and terrible .
Was he injured?
Bai Weiwei saw that in the clear water a thread of blood had appeared .
Studying it, she found that his leg should have been broken and the wound was bleeding .
Bai Weiwei pulled up her sleeves and took a few deep breaths . Then she mustered up all the strength she used to suck milk1 and dragged Mu Yanjun to the shore .
Finally having dragged him to the grass on the shore, Bai Weiwei felt that she could release a sigh of relief .
Mu Yanjun, this guy, how was he so heavy .
The system reminded: “Just wait here, the people on the cliff will come find you soon . ”
Bai Weiwei had already begun to slack off . After she heard the system, forget the strength to drink milk, the primal power of the wild broke out .
She dragged Mu Yanjun away from the water pool . Dragged him all the way into the woods . And finally found a cave to drag him into .
The system was stunned: this strength is too dreadful .
Bai Weiwei checked that Mu Yanjun was still unconscious, and ran out to conceal the traces of them both .
The system watched her bustling about .
Once everything was finally in order, Bai Weiwei just returned to the cave and spat out a bit of old blood .
Bai Weiwei covered her mouth and pouted, this broken body .
System: “If you just waited by the water, couldn’t you be saved soon?”
Bai Weiwei icily humphed: “If Mu Yanjun is saved, how can I fish for favorability?”
Pure innocent system: “?”
Bai Weiwei disdainfully discarded it: “IQ is too different, can’t communicate . ”
The abandoned system took severe mental damage .
Bai Weiwei went beside Mu Yanjun and began to apply simple treatments to his injuries .
She slashed her skirt with sharp stones, ripped off portions, and then made a strip of cloth to bandage his wound .
Although the bleeding stopped, the temperature was too cold, and their clothes were dripping with water . If they didn’t warm up, then after spending the night in this cave, it’s estimated the pair of them would be frozen to death .
Bai Weiwei saw that Mu Yanjun’s lips had started to take a blue tint .
This was a symptom of excessively low body heat .
She couldn’t do anything about it, she could only resign herself to her fate and collect firewood . She found a flint stone from Mu Yanjun’s sleeve and built a campfire .
But this was not a good enough method, Bai Weiwei herself was chilled until her lips turned blue and her skin was pale .
Bai Weiwei: “Zero Zero, give me a one-button drying function . ”
The system had an expressionless face: “There is no such thing, and if there were you wouldn’t be able to afford it . ”
Bai Weiwei was depressed: “How can you bear to watch your delicate as Liu Fufeng and beautiful as Xi Shi2, host freeze to her death . ”
System: This face is so thick an awl couldn’t pierce it .
Bai Weiwei: “Zero zero ~ Sys sys ~ four four ~ baby ~”
The system couldn’t endure it: “Good, can’t you use any other method? If the clothes are wet then take them off . Isn’t it enough to dry them with fire . ”
Bai Weiwei thought for a moment, blushing and twisting for a while before decisively saying: “Forget it, a sacrifice for the sake of favorability . ”
System: “?”
Bai Weiwei reached out and removed Mu Yanjun’s clothes . Her eyes accidentally glimpsed at his underside and immediately turned away again, worried she would damage her eyes .
She quickly stripped herself, and grabbed a bunch of dry grass to cover them both with .
When it was almost finished, Bai Weiwei reached out and slowly touched his physique .
Naked, strong, muscle lines brimmed with explosive power .
Bai Weiwei flushed a little, and then resolutely hugged him .
This was the correct way to warm up .
1: silly little idiom meaning to use all one’s strength . ↩
2: Xi Shi was one of the famous Four Beauties of ancient China . If you’ve heard of the Chinese idiom 沉魚落雁, 閉月羞花, the first two characters (chenyu) is derived from a description of her beauty, said to be so dazzling that fish would forget to swim and sink to the bottom of the pond . ↩
It was a little more difficult to figure out who Liu Fufeng was, but thanks to Baidu, I’m pretty sure it’s a character from Dream of the Red Chamber, one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels . “Delicate” was the first impression Baoyu, another character, had when he(?) saw her .
