Chapter 756: Chapter 756 Difficulties (4)_1

"Heating the ground and then covering it with pine needles and dry grass will keep us slightly warm, even when we sleep." Lin Ziyin said, "But I don’t know how to hunt, so we’re all going to be hungry tonight."

As she spoke, she had already dragged Bayan onto the pile of pine needles she laid out.

The ground was indeed warm after moving the bonfire away. Bayan felt that the wound on his back had improved a lot and he felt comfortable. He looked at Lin Ziyin in surprise. It was the first time he had seen such a method of keeping warm, and he hadn’t expected the small and delicate queen of Ling to think of it?

Tana witnessed everything Lin Ziyin did and she was deeply shocked. She felt embarrassed for her previous behavior of looking down on Lin Ziyin.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to apologize to Lin Ziyin out of humility.

After half a day of traveling, half a day of escape, and then busy with saving lives and looking for branches, Lin Ziyin was both tired and hungry at the moment.

"I have only one bun left. You guys can’t fight with me over it." After saying so, she magically produced a bun from her bosom.

Tana recognized it instantly, the bun was the one she had baked for Lin Ziyin in the morning, and she didn’t expect her to have saved one.

Lin Ziyin skewered the bun with a branch and toasted it over the fire.

Actually, Bayan and Tana were also hungry, but they couldn’t and wouldn’t fight with Lin Ziyin over food.

Once the bun was roasted, its fragrant smell was permeated into the air, perhaps enhanced by their intense hunger. Both Tana and Bayan caught the aroma.

Lin Ziyin sighed and divided the bun into three parts. "I’m really kind-hearted, can’t bear to devour it all by myself. Although this bun was given to me by you, it’s mine now. Look, you guys owe me another favor now."

"No, you eat it yourself." Bayan refused, Tana didn’t speak, but she didn’t reach out either.

"You two are really mean." Lin Ziyin sighed and said, "You must be refusing deliberately to keep from owing me favors, or are you waiting for the enemy to attack so that you won’t have to exert energy?"

"If the enemy comes, I will protect you with my life," Bayan replied through gritted teeth.

"Without energy, it’s all talk. I bet you’re doing this on purpose." Lin Ziyin said.

"You..." Bayan could not argue with her, he was so frustrated that he couldn’t speak clearly.

Lin Ziyin took advantage of his open mouth and crammed a piece of the bun into it.

Bayan had never encountered such a woman, so he was so surprised that he fell silent. Of course, with a bun stuffed in his mouth, he couldn’t say anything if he wanted to.

"This piece is yours." Lin Ziyin stuffed a piece of bun into Tana’s hand, "He might have a fever tonight, and I’ll need you to watch him. Oh, you’ll take the first shift, keeping the fire going and watch out for his fever. I’m going to get some sleep first. If anything happens at night, wake me up. I’ll take the night watch in the second half of the night." After she said that, she ignored everything, lay down on the pine needles and closed her eyes.

Tana held a small piece of the bun, her eyes becoming moist. Now, she finally understood why the powerful king Ling would marry a peasant girl like Lin Ziyin.

Even her master, the second prince, would not have thought of her, a maid, in such a hopeless situation, yet Lin Ziyin did.

Lin Ziyin’s breathing was long and steady, which showed that she was sleeping soundly.

The queen of Ling sure had some guts! Bayan looked at Lin Ziyin again with a complex expression.

Bayan slept on his stomach due to the knife wound on his back. Perhaps because he was exhausted, he soon fell asleep as well.

Tana was also very tired, but she dared not sleep.

The cave was small, and the entrance had already been half-blocked by Lin Ziyin with wood and small stones. She was still afraid that wild animals might break in, or that enemy soldiers might attack.
