Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 384: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (29)
When Ye Xiao woke up, there should have been a fire in the cave. The sun had already set outside, with only a little afterglow of the sunset shining on the cave entrance. Soon, it would be night.

Next to the fire was a woman, her clothes were disheveled, and she was holding a plucked pheasant in her hand and roasting it on the fire.

Even though her body was a mess and her hair was a mess, she was totally unaware of it. She just roasted the chicken and added firewood to the fire.

Ye Xiao moved his fingers and realized that he had regained some strength. After he was able to move, he felt a little confused. What was even more confusing was that he had a bitter taste in his mouth, which was the taste of Chinese medicine.

When he lowered his eyes, he saw a patch of green on the big rock next to him, and many smashed herbs were thrown aside. And the exposed wounds on his body were covered with a thick layer of herbs.

He wasn't in much better shape, even more miserable than that woman.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed uncontrollably twice, and after that, he felt his breathing was much more stable and his chest was not so stuffy anymore. But now he still had no strength and could not stand up.

"Master Ye, you're awake!" Lin Yan turned around in surprise, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his current condition.

"You saved me?" Ye Xiao stated this fact calmly.

She waved her hands, and after a moment of excitement, she seemed to remember his identity, and also seemed to remember the rumors in the palace. For a moment, she began to become nervous again.

"I, I thought there must be some precious herbs in this deep mountain. I have nothing to do, so I plan to find some herbs to take back. There are too many insects in this hunting ground, so I want to make some mosquito repellent sachets. But..."

"It's just that I was so obsessed with picking herbs that I walked further and further without realizing it. By the time I realized what was happening, I had lost my way in the woods. I wandered around for a long time, trying to find someone to take me out, but then I saw..."

Although her voice was trembling and her speech was intermittent, it was at least clear and logical, allowing people to understand how she got here.

Because the hunting ground is only partially surrounded by a wall outside, there is no fence inside. If you don't know the route, it is easy to get lost inside.

Lin Yan sniffed, trying to suppress the fear in her heart, and then said: "I saw you lying on the ground poisoned, and I happened to have this ability, so I saved you. But, but I couldn't find a way out, and there were dangers everywhere. I, I was scared."

Her eyes were filled with fear, and it was obvious that she was frightened by the wolves just now. And with so many corpses on the ground, who wouldn't be scared?
Ye Xiao lowered his eyes, pondering the truth of her words.

If she did it on purpose, it didn't seem like it, seeing how frightened she was. Who would deliberately approach someone they were afraid of? And what could she get from him? Could it be that Concubine Shu specially sent a little maid who didn't look that good to seduce her?

No matter how you think about it, it seems impossible.

Even if it was just a misunderstanding, he still felt that it was too coincidental. It was no wonder that he had wild thoughts, after all, there were many people who wanted to kill him.

Judging from the current situation, the probability of coincidence is relatively high.

"I... I have some freshly roasted chicken here, Lord Ye, would you like some?" Lin Yan pulled off a chicken leg and handed it to him tremblingly.

Seeing that he didn't take it, she then handed him a skewer of roasted chicken that had not been touched yet. "You, you eat this, I didn't touch these."

She looks timid and a bit flattering. She has a little feminine attitude and doesn't have any opinions of her own. She's not a very likable character, but she's a lifesaver.

Ye Xiao didn't say anything polite to her. After all, he had been hungry for a long time, and his stomach was empty and rumbling. In addition, he also saw the pheasant on the banana leaf that had not been roasted yet, so there was no need to be polite.

He was not afraid of being poisoned and just took a bite.

The taste is quite delicious, a little salty and a little bit of Chinese medicine. But after all, it is just grilled and no oil is added, so it tastes a little dry and a little woody.

Seeing him eating, Lin Yan couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile, picked up the chicken leg in her hand and started to eat it.

The two of them had nothing to talk about, so the cave was quiet, and there was no movement except for the sound of chewing. Occasionally, there would be the "crackling" sound of burning firewood, which made the quiet night not seem so quiet.

As night falls, some small animals in the forest come out to look for food. In the quiet cave, one can keenly hear the movements coming from outside.

Something was passing outside, and it seemed like something was flying by, and there was also the sound of footsteps on leaves. It was very slight, but in a quiet environment, any movement would be magnified.

After Lin Yan finished eating the chicken leg in her hand, she added a few more firewood into the fire, then stood up and walked to the cave entrance.

The half-man-high weeds could not stop the attacks of the beasts, but the fire could ensure their safety. However, the fire would also attract some mosquitoes that were not aware of their own capabilities, so she had to make some preparations.

She took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and sprinkled it at the entrance of the cave. Not only that, she also tied a few herbs together and placed them at the entrance of the cave.

The smell has the scent of mugwort and a light wood scent, which sounds very pleasant.

Ye Xiao finished eating the chicken, and after he felt that he had regained some strength, he supported himself and adjusted his posture. He had been in that posture for too long, and his buttocks felt numb.

Two people sat on one side of the fire, facing each other, without saying a word.

The roasted chicken on the banana leaf fell into Lin Yan's hands. The world was big, but eating was the biggest thing. It was worth her effort to catch the two chickens.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, because neither of them liked to talk, so no one took the initiative to bring up the topic.

In the end, Ye Xiao couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore and spoke.

"Where did you learn these medical skills?" A little palace maid had such great abilities. She was obviously not an ordinary palace maid.

Lin Yan knew that she was being suspected at the moment. Before she could gain trust, she could only carefully consider every word she said in her answer, fearing that she would let the cat out of the bag and be exposed in front of the other party.

"I've been learning this since elementary school, and I'm very interested in medicine. But I didn't know I had such great abilities."

She opened her big eyes, blinking like the stars in the sky, and her expression was very serious, revealing a bit of disbelief.

So, this is her first time curing a disease and saving a life?
Was it because he was lucky that he didn't die in her hands?
