Chapter 264 Midway Rest
When He Jiaojiao woke up, she found that the team had stopped, but Ziyi was not there.
"Aran, where's Ayi?"
He Jiaojiao glanced around and confirmed that Ziyi was not there, and asked anxiously.
"Jiaojiao, I'm here!"
Panting, Zi Yi leaped out of the bushes nearby and landed in the shape of an orc. Just by looking at his sweaty face, you could tell he must be very tired.
"Why are you so tired?" He Jiaojiao took out the animal skin and wiped the sweat from Ziyi's forehead with concern.
"I'm fine!" Ziyi grinned.
He Jiaojiao glanced at the others. Although they looked a little tired, none of them were as tired as Zi Yi. Thinking that Zi Yi's animal form was a white tiger, she realized that he was probably not good at traveling all the time.
"Ayi, come and drink some water!" He Jiaojiao took out a Huiyuan Pill from the space, dissolved it in water, and handed it to Ziyi.
Zi Yi didn't notice He Jiaojiao's little action and drank the water in the cup in one gulp. After drinking it, he smacked his lips and said with an unsatisfied look, "Why does this water feel a little sweet?"
He Jiaojiao chuckled, "You must be very thirsty, that's why you think this water is sweet."
The others, observing He Jiaojiao's actions clearly, all secretly thought that Ziyi, the White Tiger, was a bit foolish. But fools have their own blessings. Although they didn't know what Jiaojiao had mixed into Ziyi's water, it must have been something good.
As expected, after drinking the water, Ziyi felt much more refreshed all over, and the fatigue from the journey just now was swept away.
"Jiaojiao, you must be hungry. Let me cook something for you!"
After a whole day's journey, it was getting dark. He Jiaojiao touched her stomach and found herself a little hungry, so she looked at Lin Feng and Yuan.
"Let's take a short break here, have something to eat, and then continue on our journey!"
Yuan, eager to return home, glanced at He Jiaojiao and nodded. At their current speed, they should be able to reach the Silver Wolf Tribe. Jiaojiao was a female after all, and her body would definitely not be able to handle the constant travel.
Zi Yi moved quickly. He used a wooden rack to hang the iron pot that He Jiaojiao took out from the space, then lit a fire underneath, washed the rice and poured it in to cook first. Then he cut some meat and chopped it into minced meat. He also saw some wild vegetables nearby. After asking Jiaojiao to confirm whether they were edible, he threw them into the pot and cooked a large pot of minced meat and wild vegetable porridge. On the other side, Chi Yan caught two pheasants from somewhere, smeared them with seasoning and roasted them, with Zhu Xiong helping on the side.
Mo Ran wasn't idle either. Taking advantage of this free time, he took the cubs hunting nearby, practicing survival skills anytime and anywhere. Zhu Tian flew ahead to explore the way. After all, it was only just past the cold season, so a wave of beasts could easily appear, so they had to be careful at all times.
"Don't be too anxious, both of you. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife makes the chopping of wood easier. Get a good rest so you can travel faster, right?"
Yuan walked over to He Jiaojiao and sat down. "Jiaojiao, we're fine. We're just a little worried about your health."
He Jiaojiao smiled and raised her arms to show off her non-existent muscles. "I'm not as fragile as you think. I'm very strong too, okay?"
Yuan was amused by He Jiaojiao's series of actions and couldn't help laughing. Lin Feng couldn't help but come over and said, "Yes, yes, our Jiaojiao is the best."
Compared to Lin Feng, Yuan's condition is a little worse. After all, Lin Feng's level is high, while Yuan is only six stars. It is already very powerful for him to be able to keep up with Lin Feng's speed.
So, He Jiaojiao used the same trick again and prepared a glass of water for Yuan.
I've heard from other people before that Jiaojiao has some secrets that they don't know about, so even if they discover them, they have to pretend not to know.
So Yuan pretended not to notice anything and drank all the water.
"Yuan, I still feel a little tired. Can you accompany me to rest for a while?"
He Jiaojiao grabbed Yuan's arm and leaned against him. How could Yuan refuse He Jiaojiao's request? Ziyi hadn't finished yet, so it would be nice to take a break.
So Yuan held He Jiaojiao and lay down on the animal skin mat. He Jiaojiao pretended to close her eyes and rest. After a while, she heard Yuan's even breathing in her ears.
After confirming that Yuan was indeed asleep, He Jiaojiao opened her eyes.
She knew that Yuan must be extremely anxious and wanted to get back as soon as possible, so even though he was very tired from traveling, she forced herself to follow closely.
He Jiaojiao adjusted her position slightly, but Yuan, who was in his sleep, immediately hugged her tighter. He Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart, and she put her arms around Yuan's slender waist, pressing her whole face against his chest.
After a long time, Ziyi and the others had finished cooking and came over to call Jiaojiao to eat, but they saw her and Yuan sleeping in each other's arms.
"Let them rest a little longer!"
Mo Ran lowered his voice and signaled the boys to lower their voices.
When He Jiaojiao woke up, it was already completely dark. Not far away, Mo Ran and his family had already lit a larger fire, and the whole family was sitting by the fire and taking a nap.
Hearing Jiaojiao wake up, Yuan came over immediately.
"Are you hungry?"
Yuan woke up earlier than Jiaojiao. He didn't expect that he could fall asleep so quickly and sleep so soundly.
"Ok!"
He Jiaojiao slept soundly and smiled and nodded.
After washing her face in the stream, He Jiaojiao had just sat down when Ziyi brought her food. A large bowl of warm porridge and two roasted chicken legs, which she could tell were specially reserved for her.
"Wait till I finish eating, then we'll continue on our way!"
He Jiaojiao said as she stuffed food into her mouth.
Yuan smiled and touched He Jiaojiao's head, "It's okay, Jiaojiao, don't be so anxious."
He Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "No, I know how it feels to be homesick. I'm fine and can go on my way."
Seeing that He Jiaojiao insisted, and Yuan was indeed very worried about the situation of the Silver Wolf Tribe, he stopped trying to persuade her.
After quickly finishing the meal and putting everything into the space, He Jiaojiao glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go!"
Mo Ran took out a piece of animal skin from somewhere and draped it over He Jiaojiao's shoulders. "It's still a little cold at night, Jiaojiao, be careful."
Then he turned to Ziyi and said, "Don't come with us. Stay with Jiaojiao and the kids!"
Zi Yi wanted to say that he could catch up, but when he met Mo Ran's eyes, he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue and replied with a weak word, "Okay!"
Mo Ran instantly turned into a beast, and Zi Yi hugged He Jiaojiao and jumped onto the head of the big black snake. The cubs liked to be with their mother, so they naturally crawled to He Jiaojiao's side.
