Xuanxia

Chapter 363 Hungry

Its daybreak.

The sunlight shone into Wu Yan's eyes, waking him up.

He slowly opened his eyes, but still couldn't move.

Last night, he used up his last bit of strength to kill Mei Lishen.

Without Mei Lishen's control, all the villagers fell to the ground, including the mummies.

In the previous battles, all the villagers had their throats or hearts pierced by rapiers. These villagers were all dead.

But Wu Yan couldn't move.

As I said, he is not afraid of injury or pain, but he still gets tired.

This fierce battle did not last long, but he was injured more severely than any battle he had fought before.

There were bloody holes in the chest and abdomen, the intestines were pulled out, there were eight comminuted fractures, thirty-six broken bones, forty-two bone fractures, and countless wounds of varying sizes.

His blood is almost gone.

He could only barely stuff his intestines back into his stomach, and then he lay in a pool of blood, unconscious.

The Lingshu Qiyuan Method repaired his body while he was unconscious, and when he woke up, his injuries had healed a lot.

But when Wu Yan tried to get up, he still had no strength.

He barely managed to hold on to the rapier, using it to support himself on the ground, hoping to use it to get up. However, as soon as he exerted force, the rapier broke into pieces with a bang, causing him to stumble again.

"He is too badly injured. It will take at least half a day before he can walk on his own to the nearest stronghold."

Wu Yan made a judgment.

In this case, there is no need to struggle to get up.

He sat back in his original position, crossed his legs, and began to practice breathing exercises.

The Lingshu Qiyuan Method greedily absorbed the spiritual energy from between heaven and earth, transforming it into life force, continuously repairing and healing the serious injuries on Wu Yan's body.

The huge blood holes in his chest and abdomen began to wriggle and grow flesh, and the broken bones also made teeth-grinding crackling sounds, as if it were a self-operating mechanical creature.

But Wu Yan is very hungry now.

Perhaps because his intestines were hooked out, or perhaps because he was too badly injured and his body lacked energy, he was so hungry that his body began to tremble.

The bloody smell around him reminded him of fresh beef, pork, chicken, and venison... It was like the foreword to the fragrant aroma of a big meal, which whetted his appetite. However, he had difficulty even standing up at this moment, so this appetite turned into a kind of empty and desperate hunger.

Driven by hunger, he opened his eyes.

In the distance, the crowing of roosters from the village could be heard.

Yes...there are livestock in this village.

Wu Yan's body trembled even more violently.

This mission was very urgent, and Xiyu Pavilion sent him directly to the village. He didn't even have time to prepare some food for himself in advance.

He hadn't eaten since the last time he visited the hunter's cabin in the mountains, and after going through such a fierce battle, how could he not be hungry?

But there is a difference between being hungry and being hungry.

There is a kind of hunger when your stomach is empty and you are craving for food, but you have no idea where to find food. That kind of despair and collapse is enough to drive people crazy.

But there is another kind of hunger that is even more crazy, that is, you are hungry, you know there are food around you, but you can’t eat it!
When Wu Yan realized that there was food in the village, he wanted to get up.

But he had no strength.

At this moment, many things flashed through his mind.

A fat and tender chicken, after being carefully slaughtered and plucked, can be skillfully disassembled into its various parts.

Chicken breast can be cut into thin slices, marinated with spices, and then stir-fried over high heat to make a delicious Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken legs can be stewed into braised chicken legs, which have tender meat and rich soup that will make you salivate. The chicken skin can be roasted to become crispy and delicious.

And duck...the image of roast duck appeared in his mind.

After being specially processed, the duck is slowly roasted in an oven, with crispy skin and tender meat, and the aroma is overflowing. When eating, the duck meat is sliced ​​into slices, dipped in sweet noodle sauce, rolled into pancakes, and paired with shredded green onions and cucumber strips. The texture and taste... He had eaten it once, but he could never forget it. Pork is a regular on his daily table.

The pork belly is sliced ​​thinly, fried with sugar color, and then slowly stewed in a casserole to become braised pork. The meat is fatty but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and is sweet and delicious.

Pork chops can be made into fried pork chops, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired with sweet and sour sauce, which will greatly increase your appetite.

As for mutton... yes, he also saw sheep in the village yesterday.

Cut the mutton into small pieces, skewer them with bamboo sticks, and grill them over charcoal fire to make delicious mutton skewers.

As for mutton soup, mutton and mutton bones are put into the pot and boiled together. The soup is milky white and rich, and sprinkled with some coriander and chili oil. The taste is both delicious and warming...

Wu Yan's mind flashed through the processes, dishes, their textures and flavors. It seemed as if even the passage of time had become blurred. His thoughts were like dead branches deprived of nutrients by hunger, and it was difficult to condense into a complete idea. All that was left was an endless desire for food and an indescribable emptiness.

"Hungry... so hungry... wuwuwu..."

"Brother, where have you been again...I'm so hungry..."

"I'm so hungry... I want to eat, I want to eat! Wuuwuwu..."

Just then, crying and shouting were heard not far away.

Wu Yan was stunned.

He was very familiar with this cry.

He looked in the direction of the sound and looked towards the house not far away.

Just like yesterday, the doors and windows were closed, and the sound of a woman crying could be heard from inside.

Yes...that woman was a bought daughter-in-law for this village. She was not from this village, and the old woman said that she had not been bought for long.

Therefore, she was not controlled by Mei Lishen.

Her husband left the house last night while being controlled and even locked the doors and windows?

Wu Yan had no time to think about these things. The sounds of crying and banging on doors and windows made his thoughts confused again.

To him, these sounds were like the sound of a flute that attracts snakes, making him unconsciously want to struggle to get up and get closer.

He's going to open that door!
Open that door, the child inside can come out and have a bite to eat!

Open that door and you won’t be hungry anymore!

Wu Yan picked up a hoe that was scattered around him at some point, supported himself, and stood up.

His action caused the unhealed wound to burst open, and blood flowed again.

But of course he didn't feel any pain, he just felt very tired and hungry.

But the hungrier he was, the stronger his desire to open the door became.

Step by step.

One step, another step.

Every step left a deep footprint in the blood-soaked mud.

His eyes were empty and straight. Attracted by the crying, he didn't care even if he almost fell to the ground. He got up with an expressionless face and walked towards the door.

Finally, he arrived at the door again.

On the other side of the door, the silly woman's cries were shrill and noisy. Anyone who came here would only find her pitiful and annoying.

But Wu Yan... smiled.

He has never smiled in all these years.

At this moment, when he reached out for the rusty and fragile iron lock in front of the door, he smiled.

He smiled very ugly, and the wounds on his face that were cut in the battle were pulled by his smile and split open one by one, making him look extremely terrifying and pitiful.

But he still smiled and raised the hoe in his hand.

Snapped!
With a dull thud, the hoe fell and knocked the lock off heavily!
