Stranded on a deserted island with my beautiful boss, who used to make me kneel to do my daily work, now I want you kneeling before me, serving me...

Chapter 157 The Feeling of Despair

Wang Ping's leg was indeed broken. There were no medical facilities available, and Bai Wei and his gang were a bunch of scoundrels who didn't do anything about it.

The entire wound has begun to fester.

Wang Ping was in a daze and kept talking nonsense.

Xiao Qiang said that in this situation, the only thing to do is to set the bones first, and then take herbal medicine. If it still doesn't get better, then she has no other choice.

Seeing Wang Ping like this, I felt really bad. After all, after spending so much time with him, I know that Wang Ping is not a completely evil person at all. He was just abducted by Bai Wei and Lin Xubo.

Moreover, I've been through thick and thin with Wang Ping on these occasions, a bond we can't experience in the city.

Now that Wang Ping is in this state, in Bai Wei's eyes, he is of no use whatsoever. Therefore, the injuries Wang Ping sustained while going out to find food for them are not worth mentioning in Bai Wei's eyes.

All they cared about was how to fill their stomachs.

That shows how ridiculous this group of people is.

Chen Jian, who was standing to the side, also felt the same way. He looked at me and then at Wang Ping and said in a low voice, "I think if it doesn't work, we should go back to those foreigners. When they treated that foreigner's wounds, they seemed to have brought a lot of medicine with them. I think there must be some medicine that can reduce inflammation and fever. Now that Brother Wang Ping is like this, if we don't save him, won't he die?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiang looked at Chen Jian and shook her head: "Do you think they would really care even if we went back to find those foreigners? This matter is still unresolved, so let Sihai set his bones and take a look first."

I also think that if we go to those foreigners now to ask for medicine, they will definitely not give it to us, and they will take this opportunity to rip us off.

We just received so many guns in exchange for helping them repel a pack of wolves in name only, so given how these foreigners behave, they'll definitely try to get back what they gave us.

Moreover, although the foreigners have the medicine, they don't have the instruments and equipment. So why not see if they can set Wang Ping's bones first and ensure that his leg is intact?

If the bones can be set back, then as long as I take the herbs that Xiao Qiang prepared before, I should be fine.

After all, Xiao Qiang was in the same situation back then, but now she has no disabilities left.

Moreover, we've been through this before, so we have some experience to offer, which makes us feel more at ease.

Moreover, Xu Wei is currently ill, Wang Xiaoxiao's mental state is not good either, and Chen Jian and Liu Jiaojiao are still holed up in our not-so-big treehouse. If Chen Jian and I go back to the foreigners' side, I don't know what disgusting things Bai Wei, whom I just beat up, will do when he sees us leaving.

I went into the room and saw Wang Ping lying on the bed talking nonsense with a flushed face. I patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, you must pull through. On this deserted island, you can only rely on your own willpower. Otherwise, none of us can help you. But don't worry, I will do my best to ensure that you survive."

Xiao Qiang looked at me with a gratified expression, holding a bowl of herbal soup she had just brewed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Let him drink this medicine first, at least it will have some effect. But we don't have much of the herbal powder we ground before. It's raining heavily outside, so we probably won't be able to go out and collect any more herbs. Fortunately, Xu Wei's fever has subsided, but she's still unconscious. She must have been frightened. You should stay with her and leave things here to me."

I nodded. I was indeed quite tired these past two days. Chen Jian told me to go and rest first, and he would help us keep watch.

Fortunately, we still had plenty of firewood, so we didn't have to worry about anything else. I lay down on Wang Xiaoxiao's wooden bed, closed my eyes, and fell asleep soon after.

After a while, I felt a little wet. When I opened my eyes, I found that the little monkey was squatting on my stomach with his baby monkey in his arms. He was very excited to see that I was awake and even put the baby monkey into my arms.

I touched the two monkeys and found that they were soaking wet from head to toe, which made me feel a little sorry for them.

"In this heavy rain, you're still taking your child out to play? Aren't you afraid he'll get sick?"

But the female monkey just looked at me without saying a word. Instead, she turned around and jumped out of the window. Not long after, she came back and threw a large bunch of fruit next to my bed.

I looked at the mother monkey, then at the fruit, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Could it be that the monkey thought we had run out of food and went out to find some for us?

When I brought the fruit up to my eyes, I realized it was a bunch of wild grapes.

They were all very large and plump. Although many had fallen to the ground, quite a few were still on the string.

I picked one up, popped it into my mouth, and took a bite. It was truly sweet and sour.

This monkey can find food, so it seems he's not entirely useless!

Moreover, a bold idea suddenly popped into my head: if we could really train this monkey to understand human speech, then it would be much faster for us to find food.

After all, it originally lived on this land, so it must know very well what grows in which place.

This way, as long as we can get this monkey to help us find food, we won't have to search aimlessly throughout the entire forest. At least having a target will make the search much easier.

I held the little monkey in my arms. The little monkey and I were very close, and this time, the mother monkey didn't seem to have any aversion to seeing me and the little monkey's relative.

It seems this mother monkey is quite grateful.

As soon as I reached out, the female monkey jumped right next to me.

However, she was also completely soaked.

I took off my clothes and wiped them on the little monkey. The little monkey was very obedient and let me dry its body. It even pouted at me, looking very cute.

The female monkey came up to me, and I dried her off too. I took them both to the campfire to dry their fur, and then gave her a grape.

The mother monkey happily carried her baby monkey into the house.

I took out the wild grapes that the mother monkey had brought back for me. When I handed the wild grapes to Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Where did you get this? My goodness, do they even have this kind of fruit around here?"

I shook my head, unable to contain my joy: "I don't know about this. This mother monkey brought it back for me. I suppose this little monkey knows where the fruit grows best here, since that's what they eat. You can take this and share it with everyone. Once I can really communicate with this mother monkey, we won't lack any fruit."
