I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 9: Finding Water

Mu Yuan was trying to hold back his laughter. Who would have thought that Xueying, who was a top-notch killer, also had such a great ability to make up stories.

"Don't disbelieve me, everything I said is true!"

Xin Youran spoke confidently, without blushing or beating her heart. After all, whether it is right or wrong, it is up to her to decide, right?

Seeing that Mu Yuan's body had stopped shaking, she continued, "You don't know that when I went down the mountain today, I actually saw a living Corydalis yanhusuo!"

"Oh, you probably don't know what this thing is. Anyway, it's a kind of herb. I picked a lot of it and gave it all to Master's Wife. I originally thought it would be more effective in healing your injuries, but the conditions here are not suitable for decocting herbs."

"It's better to let Master's Wife exchange it for money. I heard it can be exchanged for two taels of silver!"

"Don't worry, after we get down the mountain, I'll collect herbs to make money. I won't let you starve."

"And, today I saw Master hanging himself on a cliff to collect herbs. It was really thrilling. Luckily I have Qinggong..."

"I don't know when we can go down the mountain. How is your recovery going?"

This woman is really good at talking...

She even said shamelessly that she would support him...

Mu Yuan wanted to calm down and recover his internal strength, but he couldn't calm down.

"Noisy."

Xin Youran was stunned. She found that although this person didn't like to talk, his words were so vicious when he spoke.

It’s better not to say anything!

"you!"

Humph, since he is a patient, I won’t battle with him.

Just close your eyes and count sheep.

Mu Yuan didn't expect that his two simple words would have such a good effect. He originally thought that she was different and not afraid of him, but it seems that she was just like that.

After he finished practicing his skills, his internal strength recovered by 10%. Within three days, it should be mostly recovered, and then he can go down the mountain safely.

When I think of someone, I find that he or she is already fast asleep. How heartless he or she is.

*

The next morning, Xin Youran woke up at dawn.

It’s not that she doesn’t like to sleep in or get up early, it’s mainly because there are no curtains on the windows of the cabin!

After getting up, she stretched and did some stretching exercises, only to find that Mu Yuan in the bed next to her was already sitting on the stone bed and meditating...

This guy seemed to do nothing without making any sound, and she really didn't know when he woke up.

In the past, they would drink a glass of warm water before washing up after getting up, but now they have no water or dry food.

I must find a water source today. I have followed many wilderness survival bloggers on Douyin before. They climbed up the mountain in the wilderness and found a stream with water pouring down. They took the clean water from it and drank it.

There must be many streams in such a large mountain range here.

Just do it!

"Mu Yuan? I'm going to look for mountain spring water. Are you coming?"

"There's no water left in the gourd..."

"Master and his wife probably won't be able to come up to give us food and water until around noon at the earliest."

Mu Yuan slowly opened her eyes. She had been chattering non-stop since early morning, but what she said made a lot of sense.

Considering that he is the crown prince, his daily life is taken care of by special people, and he really didn't think about such trivial matters.

"Ah."

Then he got up and went down the mountain with Xin Youran.

The air on the mountain in the early morning was particularly fresh, but the temperature was also very low. As soon as Xin Youran went out, she shivered.

The clothes she was wearing were too cool, but there was nothing she could do. This was the only set of clothes she had, and she had been wearing it for two days...

I looked up at Mu Yuan beside me. He was wearing a lot of clothes, several layers inside and outside, and the fabric looked very good, and it should feel good to the touch as well.

Seeing Xin Youran's eyes fixed on his clothes, Mu Yuan said, "Don't even think about it."

He threw down two words and strode down the stone steps.

Leaving Xin Youran alone, disheveled in the wind...

Tsk, this guy has no gentlemanly manners at all. What's the point of just being good-looking?

After walking down the stone steps for about a quarter of an hour, Xin Youran looked back at the road she had walked. It didn't seem very far, but it was farther than the two times she had run away before.

I feel much more at ease this time with Mu Yuan by my side.

We were enjoying the scenery almost all the way. There were actually several wild persimmon trees here with very thick trunks. However, my grandfather told me that the persimmons grown from these wild persimmon trees are not edible because they have little flesh and are very astringent.

Based on the Corydalis yanhusuo picked yesterday, it can be inferred that it is probably in March or April, spring.

Therefore, there are not many ripe wild fruits in the mountains.

Xin Youran looked all the way but didn't find any fruit or stream.

"Mu Yuan, is it true that there is no stream flowing down from the stone steps where we are currently standing?"

"Master and his wife were picking herbs on that hillside yesterday. Maybe they were over there?"

"Should we go over there and take a look?"

Mu Yuan was unmoved by Xin Youran's suggestion and continued walking down the mountain at a steady pace. But if you looked closely, you could see beads of sweat on his forehead.

He clearly remembered that when he was in Chunyi Tower, he and Xueying must have been drugged by some kind of aphrodisiac. As soon as they activated their internal energy, it made their bodies sore, weak and powerless, otherwise he would never have been kidnapped so easily.

As long as you don't use internal force, you will feel nothing and it will be impossible to detect.

The doctor who rescued them this time did not find the aphrodisiac in their bodies, so it should still be in their bodies.

For some reason, Xue Xueying said that she used Qinggong yesterday, and when she came back she seemed like nothing had happened.

Moreover, he observed nothing unusual last night, so why did he become sore and weak all over as soon as he used his internal energy?

Although his internal strength had recovered to 30%, he still didn't dare to take any risks.

Seeing this, Xin Youran curled her lips. His attitude definitely showed that he disagreed with her proposal.

The disadvantage of finding a companion to travel with is that it is easy to have disagreements, and at this time one person must accommodate the other.

The two continued to walk down one after the other. At first, Xin Youran was walking in front. Mu Yuan probably thought she was walking too slowly, so he quickly passed her and walked in front.

The distance between them gradually widened, but Xin Youran didn't think it was a big deal. He was so tall, so it was normal for him to take bigger steps than hers.

She didn't care, but as she walked, she found that the distance between them was getting closer and closer, until she caught up with him.

"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

"Did you see some ferocious beast?!"

"How about we retreat first?"

"Shh, don't talk!"

"Can I borrow your dagger?"

After hearing this, Xin Youran didn't dare to breathe. She quickly took out her dagger from her arms and handed it over.

Mu Yuan took the dagger and took it out skillfully. The moment the dagger was unsheathed, he just waved his hand and threw it.

With a "swish" sound, the knife seemed to be stuck in the flesh.

Mu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Outsiders couldn't notice that he hadn't used any internal force just now. It was entirely the strength of his arms that had stabbed the knife just at the seven-inch point of the flower snake, which was as thick as his arm and was less than a meter away from them.

Xin Youran quickly understood what was going on. She grabbed Mu Yuan's arm, stood on tiptoe, and looked hard into the grass not far away.

Mu Yuan:......

How dignified!

"He's dead. You can get closer and take a good look."
