Tang Ling was trapped in the dream and could not wake up.
In the alternating hot and cold dream, he held San San's hand.
It had been ten years and San San had grown up, but her face was still the same. Her big, watery eyes and pink lips might not be the best in the settlement, but she was always protected by Tang Ling. She was well-fed, so her smiling face was chubby.
San San was talking and laughing beside him, but the dream was hotter and colder, making him uncomfortable. He could not hear what San San was saying, but he did not know what she was talking about.
Then, he brought San San to the meeting.
The promise of ten years. From afar, he saw Yu, Orston, Andy, and Christina.
They were all grown up and almost unrecognizable. They stood in front of Vian and Amir's grave with a heavy expression. What were they thinking?
"Yu?" Yu ignored Tang Ling. He did not seem to know him as he looked at Tang Ling in surprise.
"Orston?" Orston also looked askance at Tang Ling. He did not seem to know Tang Ling either.
Where's Andy? Where's Christina? No, they don't seem to know me.
Tang Ling was a little sad and sad.
San San, who was beside him, held his hand tightly. "Brother, let's go. They don't know you. "
"They … They know me. They're good friends." Tang Ling lowered his head, feeling dejected.
"You, you still have me. I'll always hold your hand. "San San looked up and smiled at Tang Ling. Her big eyes were like crescent moons.
Let's go.
Tang Ling held San San's hand as they walked in the alternating hot and cold dream.
"Brother, you look very tired." San San suddenly stopped.
"Yeah, I don't feel well." Tang Ling shook his head.
San San sat down and extended her hands. "Come, Brother. Sleep here. It'll be comfortable sleeping on my lap. "
"Sleep here?" Tang Ling felt exhausted from his soul. He really wanted to sleep.
"Yeah, sleep here. You're my big brother. I'll always be here for you. Sleep. "San San's voice was very gentle.
"Then, I'll sleep for a while. Just a while." Tang Ling slowly fell asleep on San San's lap.
Every once in a while, he would call out, "San San, are you there?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
"Shanshan, are you there?"
"Yes."
"Shan Shan …"
"Hmm?"
"Shanshan …"
Tang Ling slept peacefully. Gradually, the alternating hot and cold feeling disappeared. Instead, an unusual warmth rose beside him.
"Shan Shan …" he mumbled, but there was no response.
"San San, San San?" Tang Ling called out anxiously in his dream, but he did not even know if he made a sound.
"Shanshan?" Tang Ling panicked and instinctively searched for her.
He remembered that he had fallen asleep on San San's lap. When he touched it, he felt a heavy knock on his head. Then he heard a slightly angry voice, "What are you doing?"
What am I doing?
Tang Ling opened his eyes abruptly. He caught a whiff of the faint herbal aroma and saw an angry face.
Even when she was angry, she still had a pretty face.
Her cheeks were full and natural, and her eyes were lively. Her nose was delicate, and her lips were well-defined, making her look a little stubborn.
Her black hair was thick, and her black eyebrows were as thick as a boy's, but they were clean and neat, giving her a unique sense of valiance.
However, it was obviously a girl's face.
What am I doing? Why is she so angry? Why am I looking at her from such a perspective? Am I looking up from the bottom?
With that in mind, Tang Ling moved his head a little and realized he was sleeping on a pair of unfamiliar legs.
The pants were made from tough grass and cotton, and it was a little rough, but the herbal aroma …
Tang Ling blushed and sat up right away. The girl was embarrassed and wanted to push him away.
Both of them were too sudden, so they bumped into each other.
Bang! Both of them covered their foreheads.
"What are you doing now?"
"I'm sorry."
**
This was considered the first time they met.
He had saved her at the mountainside and she had saved him.
And she had immediately saved him, so they were even. However, it was a rather awkward opening for them to get to know each other.
"That's it. Removing the blue-shelled centipede venom isn't that troublesome. The problem is the venom in your body.
"It seems to spread and carry the remaining venom towards your brain, so I had to let you rest on my legs and bend your neck a little to prevent it from entering your brain. That way, you can slightly stop it from entering your brain, but before that, you have to remove the venom. "She explained everything in a single breath before she looked at Tang Ling and asked," Do you understand? "
Tang Ling shook his head. He did not understand a thing! What did she mean by rushing to my brain and bending my neck? Was it effective?
Maybe it was? At least, Tang Ling felt a lot better. He no longer felt numb and out of control.
He carefully noticed that his body had been bandaged, and those annoying black lines were gone.
"Thank you." Tang Ling sat down with his legs crossed and his tone was unusually sincere.
She had a strange feeling. Was this the young man who was mentioned in the newspaper as someone powerful and influential?
Now, he was sitting beside her and thanking her sincerely?
Even so, she did not show any unusual reaction. As a matter of fact, other than her team, she was not that interested in other things in the world.
"You're welcome. You saved my life too."
"Not really. I'm looking for those centipedes." Tang Ling smiled and scratched his head.
"Is it because of the blue venom?" She pointed at the strange blue color on Tang Ling's body.
Even with her knowledge, she could not tell what kind of venom it was. She might be able to get some clues from Tang Ling.
As a herbalist, it was only natural for her to be interested in the strange symptoms.
"Yeah, but I don't know whether it's venom or not. Every time the venom flares up, I'll feel better if I get bitten by the centipedes, "Tang Ling said.
"You're messing around! You were almost poisoned to death by the centipede's venom, did you know that? "Ro Xin hated people who diagnosed themselves and treated themselves randomly.
"Me too. Actually, it's like this …" Somehow, Tang Ling felt a little embarrassed because he felt like he was messing around with Ro Xin's strict tone.
However, he also felt the need to explain to her why he was behaving like this.
As a matter of fact, every time the blue venom flared up, it would cause excruciating pain.
The first time it flared up was bone-chilling cold, but after a few more flare-ups, it gradually turned into an unbearable heat. Slowly, his body would lose all feeling as if he was frozen.
During the fourth flare-up, a centipede like that crawled over to where Tang Ling was hiding.
When Tang Ling couldn't move, she bit him.
Strangely, after being bitten by the centipede, Tang Ling felt a sense of coldness wash away the irritating heat.
The venom of the blue-shelled centipede would cause him to twitch and lose control.
Coincidentally, the twitching made Tang Ling's body feel better and freed him from the freezing feeling.
Therefore, Tang Ling started to capture the centipede to fight against the strange blue venom in his body.
Of course, he knew that the centipede venom was also a deadly venom, but the Stardust Council had sent a lot of soldiers to the Santos Branching Ridge to search for it every day.
Compared to the potential danger of the centipede venom, being frozen every time it flared up and being unable to move was the deadliest option.
Ro Xin was in deep thought as she listened to Tang Ling, but in the end, she could not help but scold him. "You're drinking poison to quench your thirst. Are you that kind of person without a plan?"
"Drinking poison to quench my thirst?" Tang Ling chuckled. He felt that the girl before him was quite cultured. She even knew the obscure ancient Huaxia language.
Since he had a deeper understanding of the importance of knowledge, Tang Ling had a good impression of the cultured girl.
"Are you even listening to me?" Ro Xin grumbled.
What happened to me? After being busy for a while, the sky turned dark and he could not return to his team's camp for the time being. Furthermore, he was playing the lute to a cow.
A normal person would not be able to keep up with Tang Ling's thoughts.
Looking at Ro Xin's grumpy face, Tang Ling said, "I have a plan. After we cross the Santos Branching Ridge, we'll reach a Safety Sector. Once we reach the Safety Sector, we can think of a way to cure myself, right? "
"If that's the case, it doesn't matter if I'm poisoned by another centipede venom. We'll treat it together. I'm actually quite rich. " As he spoke, Tang Ling pulled the string around his neck. On the string was a pendant with a True Capital Coin.
Ro Xin had been in contact with the merchant group for a long time, so how could she not know the value of a True Capital Coin? As a healer, she could not help but scold some people for acting recklessly.
However, who would flaunt their wealth like that? Who would be so greedy as to wear money around their neck as a pendant?
With that in mind, Ro Xin could not help but chuckle out loud.
Tang Ling was a little stunned by her chuckle.
He thought that Ro Xin's smile was very beautiful. Her oval cheeks were plump and her cheeks were soft when she smiled. Her chin was also small but not sharp.
She squinted her eyes and looked very gentle.
Her smile was like San San's chubby cheeks.
Therefore, Tang Ling stared at her blankly while his lips curled into a smile.
His gaze made Ro Xin embarrassed and anxious. She could not help but punch Tang Ling on the shoulder. "What are you looking at?"
Although he looked very fierce, his face was red and hot as he lowered his head.
Why is she blushing? Tang Ling thought that girls were weird, but why did she ask him why he was looking?
"I think it's pretty, so I'm looking," Tang Ling answered honestly.
If Su Siao was there and heard the conversation, he would not know whether he would give Tang Ling a thumbs up or despise him.
"You …" Ro Xin suddenly felt that Tang Ling's true self was a pervert. A wolf. However, when she looked up, she noticed that Tang Ling's gaze was honest and sincere. Under the light from the fire, his eyes were a little shiny and there was an indescribable sense of purity in them.
Does he really think that I'm pretty?
With that in mind, Ro Xin suddenly felt embarrassed. She hugged her knees and muttered, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
Huh? Tang Ling was stunned. Did I say something wrong? However, at the next moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Huh?"
"I said, are you hungry? Do you want to eat? "
"…" Ro Xin realized that she could not keep up with Tang Ling's thoughts.
**
It was late at night.
The light from the fire was getting warmer.
Tang Ling felt that he liked Ro Xin even more.
When it came to cooking, she and he were a natural partner.
With his Precise Instinct, he could accurately judge the heat, the combination of flavors, the amount of seasoning, and what kind of result he would get.
On the other hand, Ro Xin had a deep understanding of flowers and plants. She knew what to mix with and what to taste like.
Tang Ling believed that if he could travel the world with Ro Xin, it would be a blessing and also a fortune.
If one day, he did not want to travel the world anymore, he could stop and open a restaurant. It was a profitable business.
Ro Xin obviously did not know that Tang Ling was fantasizing about opening a restaurant with her.
If she knew, she would misunderstand.
If she did not misunderstand and knew that Tang Ling's goal was to make a fortune, she would be more or less disappointed.
It did not mean that she liked Tang Ling, but it was just how girls were.
The fire licked the bottom of the wok as Tang Ling squatted beside it like a Harsheen boar waiting for its meal.
Under Ro Xin's guidance, he managed to gather a type of grass seed called jade dew seed. Ro Xin said that after soaking the root of the Azure Leaf, the earthy smell of the wild grass would be removed and it would be replaced with a light fragrance. It tasted like rice from the old civilization.
Rice? Tang Ling was craving it.
His bloodline carried the tenacious genes of the Dongsheng Continent, so he had a natural desire for grains. Even back in the Hope Barrier, Yu and the others did not like the yellow millet as their staple food, but Tang Ling was used to it and liked it.
He had been eating meat for a long time, so he craved for grains, let alone rice. What would it taste like?
The aroma wafted out. In the wok of dew seeds, Tang Ling added some salted jerky, which he had a lot of.
However, he was afraid that Ro Xin would have a strong reaction after eating vicious beast meat, so he took out some mutated beast jerky.
On top of that, he added some finely chopped crispy fruits, a kind of tree fruit that tasted similar to bamboo shoots.
Ro Xin also added some moon hooked grass leaves. Ro Xin said that the leaves had a unique aroma, and if they were added into the dew seeds, it would add a bamboo aroma to the wok.
"All in all, this is a recipe that I went through a lot of trouble to find. I used the bamboo tube rice from ancient Huaxia as a reference," Ro Xin said seriously.
With that thought in mind, Tang Ling gulped nervously.
When she saw Tang Ling squatting in front of the fire and gulping, Ro Xin rested her chin on her hand and quietly sized him up.
