Chapter 86 Take Care of Him

He Yan looked extremely disheveled at that moment.

My clothes were mostly wet, and my head was covered in snowflakes.

"Are you He Yan?" Wen Li asked again to confirm.

Is this guy really He Yan?
The change is so drastic, it's like they've completely changed their faces!
He Yan was unaware of his own change, only finding Wen Li's reaction strange.

He Yan looked at her with a puzzled expression. "It's me. What's wrong?"

Seeing that Wen Li was still in a daze, He Yan frowned.

"I was only out for a short while, don't you recognize me?"

“You can’t blame me for this, your face has changed.” Wen Li pointed to his face.

Upon hearing this, He Yan paused for a moment, then raised his hand to touch his cheek.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Wen Li said.

He Yan said, "Oh, it's not working."

"What's broken?"

He Yan ran his fingertips across the bridge of his nose and explained, "I took a medicine that can change my appearance."

His face was too conspicuous in the tribe, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, he took a disguise drug to adjust his appearance.

The medicine's effects only last for seven days, and today is exactly the expiration date.

"Oh." Wen Li couldn't help but glance at it again.

That's understandable. He Yan is very handsome now, but he can also be intimidating.

If you need to gather information, showing up with this face won't do you any good; it's more appropriate to settle scores with someone.

Wen Li thought of his relationship with An Yuan again, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

What's going on? She's actually trapped with An Yuan's beast husband!
It's absurd just to think about it.

However, both of them were trapped here, and if she wanted to be safe, she had to cling to He Yan's leg.

Wen Li took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in her heart.

"Where did you go?" Wen Li asked.

"I went outside for a walk," He Yan said.

"You must have been gone for a long time. Why are you back so late? Did you find anything?" Wen Li asked again.

He Yan shook his head.

When he returned, his hands were empty.

He went hunting but didn't find any prey; instead, he ended up in a very messy situation.

"It's snowing heavily outside, it's not advisable to go out," He Yan said.

He Yan wouldn't tell her that he almost got lost on his trip and only managed to find his way back.

Wen Li: "..."

Is this what he discovered after making the trip?
Isn't it obvious? She knew even without him saying it!
"It's good that you're back," Wen Li said dismissively.

He Yan: "Mm."

It must be said that Wen Li felt much more at ease after He Yan returned.

In this environment, the feeling of having someone with you is completely different from the feeling of being alone.

Moreover, He Yan is quite strong.

I feel exceptionally safe with him.

He Yan found a spot opposite Wen Li, cleaned himself up briefly, then leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.

Wen Li remained huddled in the same spot she had been in the night before.

During He Yan's absence, she slightly adjusted her position.

I laid some dry grass on the ground and then put a blanket on top. It was much more comfortable to sleep on than before.

I got a lot of fabric from the previous unboxing, some of which can be used directly as a blanket and are very warm.

The firewood was still burning, crackling and popping. Wen Li, dressed in thick clothes and huddled under the covers, didn't feel particularly cold.

However… she looked in He Yan's direction.

Compared to her, the other person looked rather pitiful.

He sat there blankly, wearing only winter clothes, most of which were wet.

However, he seemed indifferent to it.

Wen Li stared at He Yan for a long time.

He Yan finally couldn't take it anymore, lifted his eyelids, and looked at her.

"Is there something you need?" He Yan met Wen Li's gaze.

Wen Li shook her head slightly. "No."

"Then rest," He Yan said, closing his eyes again. "Don't keep staring at me."

Wen Li looked away and closed her eyes. "Aren't you cold?"

He Yan did not answer.

Wen Li decided not to make a fool of herself.

She fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up the next day, it was still dark outside, and I couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

The snow stopped for a while, then continued to fall.

When Wen Li opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked in He Yan's direction. He was still asleep, leaning against the stone wall, maintaining his original posture.

His lips were pressed tightly together, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he were trapped in a troubling dream.

Wen Li sat up, her movements neither too gentle nor too forceful.

Strangely, He Yan, who is usually very perceptive, did not react at all and remained in the same position, motionless.

Wen Li hesitated whether to wake him up.

But then I felt it wasn't necessary.

The two stayed in the cave with nothing else to do. He Yan wanted to sleep, so it was fine to let him continue sleeping.

Wen Li pulled the blanket tighter, trying to move as quietly as possible so as not to wake the other person.

I woke up this morning feeling hungry.

Wen Li took out the ingredients from her spatial storage and began preparing to cook.

Because it was so cold, and there were no curtains to keep out the wind in the cave, your hands would freeze as soon as you stretched them out.

Wen Li quickly made some simple food to tide her over.

According to He Yan, the two of them would have to stay here for a while, so it would be best to improve the condition of the cave.

For example, install a curtain or wooden board to block the wind.

All the necessary materials are available in the Wenli Space, so there's no need to worry about that.

Before long, the aroma began to waft out of the pot.

Wen Li took a deep sniff of the aroma, then squinted her eyes in ecstasy. It smelled wonderful.

The thought of eating hot food in a little while sounds so comforting.

She lifted the lid, glanced at the contents of the pot, and the aroma hit her head.

Logically speaking, with such a fragrant smell, He Yan should have woken up.

But Wen Li couldn't hear his voice for a long time, so she looked over in confusion and found that He Yan was still sleeping.

Did I sleep so soundly today?
Wen Li felt that something was wrong.

"He Yan?" she tried calling out.

He Yan didn't react at all, he didn't even move.

Wen Li's heart tightened... Could he be dead?

She quickly wiped her hands, moved closer to He Yan, and tried to check his breathing.

A faint warmth was poured onto her index finger, confirming that the person was alive and not dead.

"He Yan".

The two were very close at this moment.

Wen Li tried calling He Yan again, but he still didn't respond.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Li placed her palm on He Yan's forehead and found it to be alarmingly hot.

“I have a fever!”

He Yan has a darker complexion, so it's not obvious from his appearance that he has a fever.

Wen Li had initially thought he was sleeping too soundly, but in reality, he was delirious from the fever.

He probably developed a fever because he went out yesterday and didn't keep warm enough when he came back. Even with his strong constitution, He Yan can hardly withstand the harshness of nature.

Wen Li then used her other hand to press against He Yan's forehead.

The fingers, which were initially slightly cool, were quickly warmed up after touching He Yan's forehead.

Without a thermometer in hand, Wen Li couldn't determine He Yan's fever level.

She searched through her online space but couldn't find any fever-reducing medication.

Now, the only way to cool Heyan is through the most traditional physical methods.

Wen Li took out hay and mats from her spatial storage and laid them out near He Yan.

Then, they turned He Yan's body and made him lie down on the haystack.

Although He Yan fainted, he was still relatively cooperative.

Wen Li didn't spend much effort and easily took down He Yan.

Then she took out a blanket from her space and covered He Yan with it, and soaked a piece of cloth and stuck it to He Yan's feverish forehead.

After doing all this, Wen Li was panting heavily.

He Yan was tall and strong, so it wasn't easy for her to manipulate him.

Meanwhile, the breakfast in the pot was ready.

Wen Li ate a little bit and was full.

There was still most of the food left in the pot, which she couldn't finish by herself; this portion was originally meant for He Yan.

He Yan is still unconscious, so she temporarily stored him in her spatial storage.

The space can keep it fresh, so when you take it out, it will still be as fresh as if it were just cooked.

The space is particularly convenient.

After finishing all that, Wen Li began to examine He Yan.

Her healing abilities are particularly effective against external injuries, but they are not very effective against illnesses such as fever and colds.

However, Wen Li still tried to inject her supernatural power into He Yan's body, hoping to improve his immunity.

After changing He Yan's towels several times, Wen Li was also extremely bored in the cave.

He Yan is sick again, and no one talks to her.

She thought for a moment, then took out a few pieces of wood from her spatial storage and began nailing them together, intending to make a windproof door panel.

Wen Li is particularly good at manual dexterity. After having a rough idea in her mind, she started to put it into practice.

The wooden planks were leftovers from when Bai Yanci made the bed. Thinking they would be useful in the future, Wen Li put them into her space.

She pieced several flat planks together, and then strung them all together with a single piece of wood.

In this way, a simple door panel is formed.

Although it's not very sturdy, it's more than enough to block the wind.

Wen Li tried to pick it up; it was very heavy. Then she slowly moved to the cave entrance.

Standing outside the cave, a cold wind blew, making Wen Li shiver.

it's too cold!
The biting cold seeped through the gaps in her clothes, and in no time, Wen Li's cheeks turned red from the cold wind.

His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered.

This is the body's instinctive reaction to cold.

Wen Li stood outside for a while, but then felt she couldn't take it anymore. She stomped her feet and quickly returned to the cave.

I felt a little better after warming myself up by getting close to the fire.

Wen Li found the winter in the Beast World terrifying.

Despite wearing such thick clothes, she only stayed outside for a short while before feeling extremely cold.

It's unbelievable that He Yan stayed outside alone for so long; it's only because he's in such good health that he didn't freeze to death.

No wonder he got sick today; it would be strange if he didn't get sick under these circumstances.

Once she felt a bit warmer, Wen Li got up, intending to continue adjusting the door panel to make it better block the wind.

She noticed something: the temperature seemed to be constantly dropping.

It's colder today than yesterday.

If things continue this way, the two of them will really freeze to death here if they don't take any measures.

Adding doors to the cave is just one part of the plan.

It seems that things won't go back to that in the short term, so finding a way to make life better is the best course of action.

Wen Li ran back and forth several times and finally made a suitable wooden plank, which stood perfectly at the entrance of the cave to block the cold wind.

Since she needed to burn firewood, she couldn't completely seal off the front door, so Wen Li left a small gap to allow the smoke to escape.

Whether it was psychological or the door panel really worked, Wen Li felt that the cave was much warmer.

She rubbed her sore wrists and felt much better.

After resting for a while, I continued to change He Yan's towel.

By now, his body temperature had dropped considerably and was no longer as high as it had been at the beginning.

I don't know if it's because of her strong physique or because she takes good care of me.

After changing the towels, Wen Li took out a small pot again and began to boil the Flame Grass.

She hadn't forgotten that she had such a magical herb in her space.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's an essential item for winter.

The medical guide described the effects as miraculous; it was said that after drinking it, the body would feel warm and comfortable. Wen Li hadn't tried it yet.

Wen Li was somewhat curious about what the system said and wanted to try the taste of the Flame Grass.

Wen Li grabbed a handful and boiled them; she cooked a whole pot.

The heat brings out the fragrance of the wild grass, a refreshing scent that is somewhere between floral and herbal.

After cooking, the juice turned a deep red, looking just like black tea.

Wen Li scooped up a bowl and tasted it.

The broth produced by boiling has a very unique taste; it's not irritating at all, and there's no strange flavor.

The juice flowed down her esophagus into her stomach, and Wen Li instantly felt much warmer.

It felt like a fire was burning inside my body, warm and comforting, which was very pleasant in the cold environment.

So this is what they call Flame Grass. It's really effective, Wen Li thought to herself.

Once the boiled Flame Grass is taken out of the pot, it loses its effectiveness after one use.

However, a little bit of Flame Grass can boil a large pot of water, which is quite good.

Wen Li kept a large bowl of food and put the rest into her spatial storage, intending to feed it to He Yan.

She brought Zhu Yan's herbal soup to He Yan's side, where he had already slowly woken up.

However, he was still not quite lucid, squinting and staring blankly ahead.

"You're awake!" Wen Li exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing her voice, He Yan stiffly turned his head.

“…Wen Li.” He tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse.

"Don't talk for now, drink some of this, it's good for your health." Wen Li held the wooden bowl to He Yan's lips.

He obediently opened his lips and swallowed.

"This is...?" He Yan asked in surprise.

"Flame Grass Soup," Wen Li said. "You should drink it all."

He Yan swallowed the contents in gulps, and the wooden bowl was completely empty in no time.

"Thank you." He Yan licked his lips and lay back down weakly. "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's alright...no need to be so polite."

His sudden thanks made Wen Li quite uncomfortable, and she gave a dry reply.

After a brief awakening, He Yan fell into a deep sleep again, and Wen Li did her best to take care of him.

As she hoped, He Yan was fully recovered by the next day.

However, it was Wen Li's turn to be unlucky.

The illness emanating from He Yan was transmitted to her.

"Wen Li, the sun is out."

That morning, Wen Li heard He Yan's surprised voice.

She huddled under the covers, feeling both cold and weak. Her eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn't lift them no matter what she did.

He Yan said, "The weather is nice today, let me take you home."
