章 19: The Real Use of the Qi of Sun
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Cheng Ling was stunned, as if she had been struck by lightning.
A Thunderbolt from a clear sky was the best description of her current state. The moment she saw herself clearly, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was at the scene of a social death.
This is terrible!
It was fine when she didn't notice this. After all, the pressure of survival was at the forefront, and it was common to be in chaos on the way to escape. Perhaps this body had already gotten used to this dirty state.
Thus, before this, Cheng Ling didn't consider paying attention to her image.
It wasn't until this moment that Cheng Ling began to feel that something was wrong.
The first thing she felt was the numbness and itchiness on her scalp.
I don't dare to look. I can't bear to look. Oh my God, are the little white spots crawling on my hair lice?
No, Cheng Ling started to feel itchy again.
It was itchy and prickling, and not a single part of her body felt comfortable.
Cheng Ling stood there stiffly. Seeing that she was suddenly in a daze, Mu Sanniang couldn't help but ask with concern, "Xiao Ling, what's wrong?"
Cheng Ling was speechless.
She was so uncomfortable that she wanted to rush into the stream and soak in it for ten rounds. It would be best if she could peel off a few layers of skin, but was that possible?
No, this can't be.
Cheng Ling controlled her impulse with great willpower. She took a light breath and forced herself to speak calmly, "Mother, we have to move quickly. It's best to deal with these things before noon. It's not good to stay in the mountains for long."
Having said this, she put the shower aside for now.
Moreover, with Hong Guangyi and the others around, it was not convenient for them to take a bath.
Cheng Ling only used the time she took to wash Xiao Li's hands to wash them properly. She also washed her face and tidied up her hair.
If it weren't for the fact that baldhead didn't fit in with this era, Cheng Ling would've shaved her head clean on the spot.
She couldn't bear to look into the water again. Even if she had washed her face and had lice all over her head, Cheng Ling didn't want to look at her current appearance.
His heart felt stifled after taking a look. "Forget it", she thought to herself. "It's better not to see it."
After Cheng Ling finished washing Xiao Li, she found a stone with a slight depression and washed it clean. Then, she smashed it in the depression to extract the juice.
There were several ways to make little li, but since the conditions were not good enough, he should use the simplest method and the fastest way to make use of it.
Fortunately, the fresh Xiao Li's hemostasis effect was not bad. The juice of Xiao Li could be consumed directly, and the crushed leaves could also be used for external application.
Cheng Ling had great strength and speed. The hollow was filled with Xiao Li's fresh juice in a short while. She was about to stop and take another bamboo tube to collect the fresh juice when the solar energy in her body suddenly moved.
Eh?
Cheng Ling was stunned. She felt it.
The Qi of sun, which was completely unmoved when she was looting the corpse, actually flowed into her palm spontaneously along her meridians at this time. Then, through the stone in her hand, it flowed into the medicinal liquid in the hollow of the stone!
Qi was something that seemed to have shape and form but was invisible. At this time, only by observing with the naked eye, of course, one could not see if there were any special changes in the medicinal juice in the stone concave.
But at this moment, Cheng Ling felt something.
She felt that the Qi of the sun seemed to have strengthened the medicinal properties of the medicine.
Was this for real?
Or was it just her imagination?
If it was true... Cheng Ling's heart started to beat faster.
She could feel that there was a small amount of Yang Qi in the medicine just now, about one-eighth of the total Yang Qi in her body.
After this small portion, the Qi of the sun stopped pouring in. It seemed that the medicinal properties of the medicine in the hollow had been raised to a saturated state and could no longer be increased.
Cheng Ling quickly took out the medicine and put it into a bamboo tube. Then, she called Hong Guangyi over. He told him to feed the medicine to Shi Hong and apply the powder to his wound.
Hong Guangyi himself had many minor injuries. Cheng Ling said, "If you have any excess medicinal herbs, please apply some on your own, brother Hong."
Hong Guangyi's hair was disheveled. His waist-length hair had become shoulder-length hair. His shoulder-length hair was even greasy and knotted. His image was not embarrassing, but rather funny.
Cheng Ling sighed silently. She didn't have anything to look down on. Her own image wasn't any better now. They were both in the same boat, so why should the big brother criticize the second brother?
Hong Guangyi happily took the food and gave it to Shi Hong.
As for the hair he had cut off, Cheng Dani was using it to wash and make charcoal.
It turned out that Cheng Dani had helped Mu Sanniang cook blood charcoal at home. She was quick, nimble, and even more skilled than Mu Sanniang.
Mu Sanniang was busy cooking the wolf meat in the clay pot, while Cheng Erni was stoking the fire.
The other two children swallowed their saliva and kept glancing at the wolf meat in the pottery jar. At the same time, they obediently helped Cheng Erni start the fire.
There were six simple stone stoves in the open space, and some of them had thin stone slabs on top of them. After heating these stone slabs, Cheng Ling would use them to roast the wolf meat.
He didn't have enough clay pots, so he could only make up for it with stone slabs.
Cheng Ling hurriedly went over to help. She used her family's broken vegetable knife to slice the wolf meat thin. Then, using the cover of her bag, she took out a small bottle of salt from her space and carefully smeared it on the wolf meat. Then, she spread the pieces on the stone slab and slowly roasted them.
As for the other condiments, there was none.
Cheng Ling was even very conservative with her salt.
In fact, Cheng Ling still had a small bottle of chili, a small bottle of soy sauce, and a small bottle of cumin in her bag.
However, these things with a strong smell weren't convenient to use, so Cheng Ling didn't take them out at all.
But even without the seasoning, just the aroma of the roast meat itself was enough to tempt people.
Especially for these people who were already famished to the extreme, let alone cooked meat, even a little bit of food was enough to make their eyes green with envy.
Cheng Erni was like this. From when the fire started to when the wolf meat gradually became cooked, the smell of blood was gradually replaced by the aroma of meat. It was as if she could not see anything else in her eyes.
In her mind, there seemed to be only one thought left: Eat meat!
She seemed to be the only one left by the stream, asking, "Mother, can the meat be eaten?"
"Xiao Ling, are you ready to eat?"
"Mother, I'll add more firewood to make the fire burn brighter."
"Aiyo, go away. The pot is going to crack!" Mu shouted.
On Cheng Ling's side, in addition to using the stone slab to roast the meat, she also cut a few tree branches and skewered a lot of wolf meat. Then, she directly roasted it over the fire.
Now that the weather was hot, the wolf meat couldn't be stored well, so he made as much as he could.
Of course, she had also secretly smuggled some wolf meat into her interspace.
Then, Cheng Ling realized that her two small spaces were really distinct.
A space that can store items in the inventory. However, the space that stored the collected materials could only store collected materials. As for external items, it would not accept them.
