Chapter 751: Chapter 751: How Could It Be Without Poor Taoist?

Sisi’s beloved Di Yelei was currently searching through the mountains at the moment.

That night, he had led everyone to rush into Peach Blossom Village, and as expected, there were a large number of soldiers and horses ambushing in the village.

Perhaps because the battle between Nan Tianzong and Tang Ji had distracted their attention, it wasn’t until his group reached the vicinity of the east entrance of the village that the enemy reacted.

As soon as the two sides engaged, a fierce battle naturally began. Fortunately, Di Yelei had the thunderbolt bombs prepared by Sisi with him, which intimidated the enemy with their power, preventing them from approaching. They finally broke through the encirclement and reached the wharf.

He thought he could retreat successfully, but to his surprise, it turned out that the people who rushed out of the ship to rendezvous with Zhao Yuanlang were Shopkeeper Gu’s staff. They fought their way out again, escaping with the four survivors and successfully breaking free…

Thinking about all this, Di Yelei’s brow never loosened. He carefully surveyed the area and found that the hidden markers he had buried at the entrance hadn’t been touched by anyone, and there were no signs of anyone coming over on the grass. It seemed that their whereabouts had not been exposed. Delighted, he decided to turn back.

By the time Di Yelei returned to his hiding place, the four people hidden inside were already on pins and needles with anticipation.

This was a cave, which seemed to have been an abandoned den of some animal in the past. Di Yelei and the others had cleaned it up and hid in it after they arrived.

“I’m lucky. I caught two wild chickens, broke some fresh bamboo shoots, and picked some black fungus. There are also yam eggs here. But there’s no grain…”

“It’s alright. It’s enough to have something to eat for now.”

Hiding recently, running desperately for days on end, everyone had been hungry for several days, which had also caused Zhao Yuanlang’s whole person to become decadent, losing a lot of weight all at once.

“Perhaps we should try to go out and look for help. Maybe our men are also looking for you, Lord Father-in-law,”

Di Yelei took out the bamboo tube containing water, directly pulled off the cover, held the chicken’s head in one hand, and slashed it with a knife. The chicken’s blood was then collected in the bamboo tube without spilling a drop.

Zhao Yuanlang opened his eyes at the suggestion: “Why don’t we wait a little longer and go out after dark? Now we only have these few people left, and we can’t afford any more injuries.”

Once His Majesty spoke, everyone naturally had no objection.

Di Yelei didn’t say anything more but picked up the bamboo tube and shook it casually before handing it to Zhao Yuanlang: “We’re in limited condition right now, and we can’t find any blood-replenishing medicinal materials. Although this chicken blood may not look good, it’s a good thing for replenishing blood. Drink it.”

Drinking raw chicken blood?

Zhao Yuanlang’s hand, which was holding the bamboo tube, was trembling, but he knew that the present situation didn’t allow him to refuse. In the end, he gritted his teeth, raised his head, and drank the chicken blood in two mouthfuls.

Di Yelei began to prepare the two wild chickens.

With limited resources at hand, he directly gutted the chicken, cut it into pieces, and, under everyone’s astonished gaze, he finely chopped the fresh bamboo shoots, black fungus, wild chicken meat, and yam eggs, and filled them in a tenderly cut bamboo tube filled with clear water. Then, he plugged the bamboo tube with mud and threw it directly into the fire to burn.

As the sky gradually darkened, the bamboo tubes in the fire had turned black. Di Yelei picked it up, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction. He then opened one bamboo tube and passed it to Zhao Yuanlang.

“Lord Father-in-law, there’s not much good food in this wilderness, so please make do!”
