Chapter 074. Wilderness Group Training

While crossing the river, Lin Yuan had really felt a faint tingling sensation as if he had been bitten by something, only, at that time, it was too dark to see anything that was happening in the river clearly. That feeling was very slight, the wound wasn't hurting or itching so Lin Yuan rushed across the river and did not pay attention to it. He did not expect that in mere moments, that wound would actually be red and swollen at this point. The surrounding skin was all swollen up in a huge lump. The contrast between his left and right leg looks a bit ridiculous.

Caesar looked at the wound, and soon arrived at the conclusion that: "Did you get bitten by a snake along the way?"

Lin Yuan said: "I seem to have been bitten while crossing the river, the wound doesn't hurt, I'll just......"

Coming into contact with Caesar's reproachful line of sight, Lin Yuan had no choice but to let the rest of his words die in his throat.

He had indeed been too careless. Seeing that the wound was very small and did not hurt or itch, he had even thought that he was lightly nipped by a small fish in the water. He didn't expect it to be a water snake. There really was a kind of snake in the river water of the Köln Forest the width of a human finger with an extremely fast mobility speed. The poison released by this kind of water snake is full of vigor. After mere moments, his whole lower leg swelled up. Thankfully, this type of snake venom does not pose a threat to human life, but if the wound is not treated in time, it will most likely swell to the size of an elephant leg by tomorrow and there would be no way for him to walk.

Fortunately, the instructors sent out some emergency medicines, Caesar turned around and rummaged through the inside of the bag of items to take out a tube of ointment. He walked up to Lin Yuan and kneeled down on one knee, gingerly and carefully pulling his leg into his arms.

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "I will do it myself."

Lin Yuan wanted to pull his leg back, but Caesar tightly grabbed his ankle and said in a low voice: "Don't flail about."

Lin Yuan: "........."

Lin Yuan had no choice, he stiffly didn't dare to flail about.

His bare calf was placed in Caesar's arms, his toes were pressed right into his lower abdomen. The tips of his toes could even feel the strong muscles and scorching body temperature of his abdomen...

This kind of position made Lin Yuan very embarrassed. He also doesn't know if it is because the fire is burning too fiercely, but his ears had been roasted to the point of being somewhat scorching hot.

On the contrary, Caesar had a composed appearance, and with a serious face, he lowered his head down to treat Lin Yuan's wound.

Caesar lightly squeezed out the pus in the wound and used the palm of his hand to evenly apply the ointment on his injury. He slowly smeared it with a gentle touch. In order to speed up the absorption of the medicine, he also softly massaged Lin Yuan's lower leg.

Lin Yuan had only felt a trace of a slightly cool chill pass through the red and swollen part of his calf, his face, however, can't help but heat up.

Both of them are men, having his leg be massaged in the arms of the other party is honestly way too embarrassing...

Caesar gently massages Lin Yuan's calf for a very long time until the ointment had been completely spread out upon the red and swollen. It was only after this that he let go of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan immediately pulled his foot back and pretended to calmly hang his head.

The two sat together beside the bonfire to roast the fish meat, Lin Yuan had been attentively watching the fish in front of him from start to finish, but Caesar's sight has been attentively watching Lin Yuan from start to finish.

The stars that fill the whole sky are just like small sparkling diamonds sprinkled in the sky. The bonfire is burning very well. Those flames throb as if acting in concert with the frequency of both of their heartbeats. The crackling of the burning branches reaches their ears and is occasionally mixed with the cries of the insects in the forest. The fragrance of the roasting meat drifts through the air, the freshness of the fish meat's smell is pleasant.

In the quietness of the wildernesses late at night, they sat quietly together beside the bonfire, as if the two of them were the only people left in the entire world.

Trust each other, depend on each other.

Even if he looks back on it a long time from now, that scene will still be as warm as spring in Caesar's memories.

***

Caesar very quickly finished roasting the fish meat and the fragrance of the roasted meat was could be smelled. Lin Yuan's stomach immediately rumbled in response. Caesar lightly laughed and handed the biggest fish to him. Lin Yuan rushed to express his thanks and took the roasted fish and gobbled it up.

He hasn't eaten all day long, his stomach was completely empty.

Although there was no seasoning added, the fish meat that is roasted in the wild is particularly delicious to eat when you are starving.

Lin Yuan soon finished off the big fish and couldn't help but look up at Caesar and say: "It tastes really good."

The little guy whose eyes shine at the fish meat resembles a big gluttonous cat with a swishing tail.

Caesar smiled and handed him another fish.

Lin Yuan immediately accepted the proffered fish without any politeness and immersed himself in eating it.

After eating two big fishes in succession, he filled his stomach at last. Lin Yuan contently wiped his mouth and said: "It's gotten late, how about we go rest early? There is still a long journey we need to walk tomorrow."

It's already ten o'clock at night, they worked hard all day long. The two must preserve and nurture their spirits to properly carry out to tomorrow's distance. Seeing that Caesar had no objections, Lin Yuan took the shirts and pants that had just been dried by the fire and put them on. He turned, walking over towards the tent.

When Caesar walked into the tent getting dressed, Lin Yuan was right in the middle of arranging the quilt inside.

Seeing that Caesar came in, Lin Yuan was a little embarrassed: "This tent is too small..."

The small tent with a width of only one and a half meters wide has the two boys lying side by side, leaving hardly any gap of space left between them.

Caesar didn't tell Lin Yuan that there was actually two tents handed out in the tent parcel. He only set up one tent. Naturally, it was because it was too cold at night, having the two men sleep in one small tent would make it even more nice and warm and they would also be able to look after each other. They can even conveniently chat to further advance the feelings between the two of them.

As for the tent being too small...

Cough cough, of course this was just because it was made for one person to lie down in.

Caesar secretly hid a tent away, but on the surface he said with a nonchalant face: "It doesn't matter, squeeze in."

Lin Yuan didn't have any good suggestions either.

After all, in the wilderness, how could he have a big bed more than two meters wide for him to roll around on to sleep? Having a tent already is pretty good, at least he doesn't have to sleep outside in gusts of the night's cold winds.
