What should I do if I look too fierce?

Chapter 387 Humanity (34)

Aokiji failed to get out of the woods at night because he lost his way.

He even wondered if he was spinning in circles. No stars could be seen on a rainy night, and even the moon was only looming. Aokiji had to stop and prepare to spend the night with Murase Tamao under a dense tree.

Aokiji had no choice but to light a fire casually, so the two of them could only sit in the dark woods, shivering in embarrassment after being soaked by the rain.

"Ah, that's right." Murase Tamao sneezed, holding his shoulders, his body trembling.

Aokiji didn't know what season it was in this world, but the cold climate made people a little upset. He looked at Tamao Murase, whose lips were blue, and was a little worried whether she would get sick from this.

Frowning, he took off his coat, wearing only a pair of trousers, and put the open coat on her body.

Murase Tamao looked at Aokiji's naked chest and blushed. He hesitated and whispered: "You can wear it, I don't need it."

"It's okay." Aoki Siyi said simply. In fact, the layer of coat that was wet by the rain could not provide much warmth, but it was better than nothing.

He stood up and said calmly: "You wait here, I will go find something."

Murase Tamao looked at him a little uneasily, but did not dare to resist, and just lowered his head silently.

Aokiji's figure disappeared into the dark woods.

The endless darkness and cold raindrops made her body, which was already trembling slightly, tremble even more.

She began to worry that she might get sick.

In this day and age, a cold can be fatal.

I was also a little afraid that Aokiji would never come back.

In her uneasiness, Aokiji came back not long after, still holding a handful of medicinal herbs in his hand.

"Just eat it." Aokiji took the kettle and divided the contents into three portions. He handed one portion to Murase Tamao and stuffed the other portion into the black horse's mouth. It chewed and swallowed it. He screamed loudly and lay on the ground, feeling a little wilted.

Aokiji chewed the mixed herbs with an expressionless expression, drank water and swallowed it.

Murase Tamao looked at these plants that looked like grass and leaves with rainwater and a little soil, and raised his head and looked at him timidly: "Oh."

She closed her eyes and swallowed it like poison. The spicy and bitter taste almost made her spit it out. However, under Aokiji's calm gaze, she still endured and swallowed hard.

"The rain has stopped."

Aokiji raised his head, and the rain finally stopped.

"This herbal medicine can drive away colds and can prevent colds to some extent." After finishing speaking, Aokiji looked at her as if she didn't understand, and said, "Wind-cold."

Seeing her nodding but still shivering from cold, Aokiji frowned.

Without fire, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for her to endure tonight.

After looking at the sky, it was still dark. Aokiji shook the handle of the knife in his hand and decided to light a fire. If someone comes, fight if you can win, and run away if you can't. If this keeps up, she might get into trouble because of the freezing rain before they can even send her to Safe City.

Aokiji stood up again and looked for wood that could be used for burning. What was hateful was that the rain not only wet his clothes, but also wet the trees. Not to mention dry firewood, even a piece of firewood could be used as a ignition. Useless.

"Let's travel all night."

Aokiji made a decision.

Murase Tamao nodded in agreement without any choice, and was helped onto the horse by Aokiji. The black horse tapped its hooves a little tiredly, but was still driven by Aokiji without complaint.

Fortunately and unfortunately, Aokiji walked out of the forest without going very far, but what lay before him was a complicated mountain road.

Without any choice, they continued to move forward. Aokiji and she finally found a dark cave halfway up the mountain. They tied the tired and half-dead black horse with a stone. Aokiji was lucky enough to find dead wood and dead grass from the cave that were still basically dry. , emptied out most of the knowledge in his head, and when it was almost dawn, Aokiji, who was sweating profusely, finally got angry.

People who have never started a fire will never know how difficult it is to start a fire purely by theory when you have nothing.

I also want to thank the cave for giving Aoki Si withered grass and dead branches. These may have been left by some creatures when they stayed in the cave, or they may have been left by the people who lived here last time, but no matter what, Aoki Si is rising. After the fire started, I was too tired to say a word.

As for Murase Tamao, she had been cold and tired for a long time, and her eyelids could hardly be opened.

"Take off your clothes and dry them." Aokiji took off his shoes and put them by the fire. The leather boots were already full of rainwater.

Murase Tamao's expression was a little horrified, but Aokiji just looked at her lightly: "Can your body bear wearing such clothes? I don't care."

"But, but..." How could she wear only her underwear in front of Aokiji?

Aokiji turned his back to her: "I don't know how to read."

Who knows if you will watch it?

Murase Tamao almost cried, but Aokiji really just turned around and lay on his side on the ground without speaking.

She put Aokiji's clothes on the ground with branches, but did not do anything to herself. She lay down beside the fire and tried to sleep for a while, but the result was that the wet clothes on her body kept absorbing The body temperature made her head feel hot.

If you get sick in these deserted mountains and ridges.

She gritted her teeth and gently untied her belt.

Aokiji listened to the rustling sound behind his ears and looked out of the cave with an expressionless face.

"Put it on when it's dry for a while." His words made Murase Tamao sigh in relief.

He had told himself from the beginning that this was just a part of the dream, and Murase Tamao was just an NPC. All he was thinking about now was how to leave this bad place.

He fell asleep intermittently, woke up, added firewood, and after dawn for an unknown amount of time, Aokiji felt that his clothes were finally dry, and then he woke up Tamao Murase, who was still wearing half-wet and half-dry clothes.

She opened her eyes, but she felt that all her strength was gone. She coughed and stood up, but Aokiji touched her head with his hand. Suddenly, her body stiffened and her cheeks turned red.

"Still have a fever."

Aokiji frowned irritably. He stood up and said without hesitation, "Let's go."

He didn't see any water source from the top of the mountain. The water in the kettle was not enough for her to recover her health here before leaving. Moreover, Aokiji had no hunting experience. If he stayed here, he knew whether she would be raised to death.

I can only hope to see people soon.

Aokiji even thought that even if he encountered pursuers, he would be fine.

At least they should have dry food and water with them.

Patting the black horse on the head, Aokiji helped Murase Tamao onto the horse and continued on the mountain road.

If there is a road, it means you can definitely find someone.

I just don’t know if the distance is far or close.

I don't know how long he walked, but Aokiji only knew that Murase Tamao's body was getting weaker and weaker in his arms. Finally, when he felt that Murase Tamao couldn't hold on anymore, a wisp of smoke appeared in front of him.

At the foot of the mountain, the outline of a small village appeared in front of you.

"Hold on, I'll find a way to save you when we get there."

Aokiji's words only made Tamao Murase, who was half asleep, respond in confusion.

He slapped the black horse's butt, and the black horse sped forward. Just from the sound of its heavy breathing, it seemed that it had reached its limit.

Finally arriving at the entrance of the village, two young men holding crude wooden spears looked at Aokiji with nervous expressions and shouted: "Who is coming? What are you doing here?"
