Chapter 53 Are you sure he is only temporarily blind?

Zhou Youguan froze. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly tightened his grip on Wei Wei. "What did you say?"

He stretched out his hand and waved it lightly in front of Wei Wei's eyes, but Wei Wei's eyes just stared blankly at one spot. Even though his hand was waving so close, Wei Wei's eyeballs didn't move once.

how so!

Zhou Youguan's fingers gripped Wei Wei's wrist, rubbing it anxiously and distressedly. "Can't you see any light at all?"

Wei Wei shook his head.

Although he clearly couldn't see, Zhou Youlan was even more anxious and frightened than he was.

How could this happen? They had never experienced this before, and Wei Wei had always been with him. How could he suddenly go blind? Furthermore, Wei Wei had no external injuries to his eyes.

He suddenly remembered that Ah Hu came to ask for the map just now, but angrily tore up the map after a few quarrels. Thinking about it carefully, if they really needed the map, they would just swallow their anger and try their best to get it, instead of acting on impulse.

Now I think that Ahu's behavior at that time was really extreme, so he must have had other purposes.

Zhou Youxuan pulled up his own clothes and sniffed them, but there was no strange smell. He turned around and pulled up the big monkey's clothes and sniffed them, and they were all normal.

I remember that when Ah Hu was swinging his fist at them with the map, he always deliberately aimed it in Wei Wei's direction, and Wei Wei's eyebrows and eyes were also splashed with water droplets. Could there be a problem in this link?

"Did you wipe the spilled water from your eyes?"

Wei Wei hummed, "Those water droplets contain poisonous juice that can kill monkeys."

The only trees monkeys won't climb are these squeaky-box trees.

When his eyes fell into darkness, he realized that it could only be Ahu's trick. Coming to see the map was fake, and poisoning him was real.

That's why Ah Hu tore up the other half of the map in front of them, because he didn't want them to get direct evidence.

Ahu didn't dare to use the poisonous juice of the box-shaped trees directly, for fear that it would be too obvious and be discovered, so he mixed water into the poisonous juice.

After the juice was diluted with water, its toxicity was not as strong as before, otherwise the skin on his eyelids would have been burned and blistered, and his eyes would probably be blinded.

Zhou Youxuan took out a bamboo tube, opened the lid, pressed down Wei Wei's shoulder, and poured water to help him wash his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were feeling unwell? Do you know why this tree is called the Monkey Don't Climb Tree? It's because it's so poisonous that even monkeys are afraid of it. Even a small scratch from its thorns will cause poisoning and inflammation."

Zhou Youguan was anxious when he spoke, but his hands were gentle, for fear of hurting Wei Wei again.

Wei Wei didn't say anything, just took the water and washed himself.

At that time, he wiped off the water droplets with his sleeves after a while when they touched his skin. But now, he couldn't smell this colorless and odorless stuff.

Upon learning that Wei Wei was injured, the others rushed over.

Zhang Longtong asked anxiously, "Program crew, cameraman, do you have any medicine?"

The staff seemed dumb, as if they didn't hear what they said. They just carried their equipment and recorded, as if they had no empathy at all.

"You have disinfectant and saline solution. I saw you using it to treat the wound this morning."

"Give us some medicine!" Zhang Longtong was so anxious that he went to search their backpacks. "Other injuries are fine, but Brother Wei injured his eye. If it's serious, he could go blind."

But the staff resisted and refused to give it to them. Zhang Longtong turned around and gave the others a look. Ruan Mengmeng and Da Mahou rushed up and tied up the cameraman on both sides. Zhang Longtong took the opportunity to rummage through the staff's backpack. Lin Yue and Li Rongsheng hesitated for a moment, and also stepped forward to block the other staff who wanted to help.

Several people surrounded the place and robbed it, but they managed to snatch a first aid kit for Wei Wei.

The staff member shouted anxiously: "Hey, you are stealing the staff's equipment, you are violating the rules!"

"We've made a compromise in this emergency. The production team only said they won't provide us with any supplies beyond the ten-day period, but they didn't issue a rule prohibiting us from snatching the staff's supplies and equipment." Zhang Longtong asked the people around him, "Is that right? Did you hear about such a rule?"

"What about you? Did you hear that?"

The big monkey winked at him and praised him for being so smart.

Ruan Mengmeng looked up at the sky: "I haven't heard of it. Since you didn't say it, then it's okay."

The staff was helpless and pointed at them and said they were shameless.

A few people smiled triumphantly, "Don't mention it, sometimes you just have to resort to shamelessness."

Zhang Longtong hurriedly ran towards the two people over there: "Brother Zhou, Brother Wei, we got the medicine, let's see if there is anything useful."

Zhou Youxuan took the medicine bag. The staff had a lot of complete medicines, and they were all the best medicines. He found some anti-inflammatory drugs and abscess-removing ointments, as well as an unopened bottle of eye drops. He didn't know if they would be effective, but he would use them anyway.

The others gathered around and felt breathless. Zhou Youguan said, "Rest where you are for now. Stay away from these trees. Don't move too much to avoid getting hurt."

Everyone could only disperse to the side. Zhang Longtong lent a hand and Ruan Mengmeng took out a flashlight to help light the way.

"Close your eyes and let me see if your skin is red, swollen or has blisters."

Wei Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally closed his eyes. However, his stiff back clearly showed his distrust of the surrounding environment and people.

Ruan Mengmeng didn't dare to shine the flashlight directly on Wei Wei's face. It would be too glaring and uncomfortable, but if she didn't shine the light on him, she wouldn't be able to check the wound.

"Brother Wei, I'm going to shine the flashlight into your eyes. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."

"Um."

Ruan Mengmeng moved the light to Wei Wei's eyes. Zhou Youguan examined them carefully and found no obvious wounds. However, there were a few areas of redness on the eyelids. Fortunately, Wei Wei wiped them quickly and the poison did not stay on his skin for too long, so it did not corrode deeply into the skin.

This is also the reason why he became blind, but the pain in his eyes was not severe.

Wang Daodao came over at some point. He pursed his lips for a long time before finally speaking: "You can use eye drops, but don't use anti-inflammatory medicine."

Zhou Youguan turned around when he heard the voice. Wang Daodao looked a little awkward. He turned sideways and said, "He's only temporarily blind."

"are you sure?"

Although Wang Daodao was always unhappy when questioned, he still said patiently this time, "It's because when he rubbed his eyes, the poison on his skin seeped into his eyes. But from what I just observed, he didn't show any symptoms of dilated pupils or bloodshot whites of his eyes, which proves that the poison didn't see too much. Wash and apply medicine. Apply the medicine carefully these few days. Don't you have a bottle of eye drops over there? They're very good and can cure his eyes."

This was the first time Wei Wei had relied on him for treatment. Wang Daodao snorted, "My diagnosis this time is absolutely correct. When I was a child, I was playing with my grandfather's Chinese medicine and accidentally got poison in my eyes. I also suffered a temporary blindness for a few days. I continued to apply the medicine and wash with clean water every day. As long as the skin doesn't become inflamed or ulcerated, it will slowly recover after three to five days."

Wang Daodao was much more confident this time than before. In the past, even when he was checking other people's injuries, he was not very confident. But this time, he was very confident and sure of himself.

"These medicines are enough to keep him recovering, provided the staff doesn't ask him to go back."

After saying that, Wang Daodao turned around and left, his back revealing a sense of pride as if he had finally gotten something out of himself.

Zhou Youxuan doesn't know medicine, but he still wants to persuade Wei Wei to quit the show. After all, nothing is more important than health.

"Did you hear me?"

Zhou Youlan asked him to quit the show, but Wei Wei remained silent and no one knew what he meant.

Wei Wei: "I won't hold you back."

"I don't think you're a burden, nor do I think you're a nuisance. I'm just worried about you. Your health always comes first. You can't risk your eyes for that little bonus, right?"

Wei Wei turned around and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"What do you mean it's okay? Just now, the flashlight was shining so close to your eyes, and you didn't even try to dodge it."

When he couldn't see clearly, Wei Wei took the patient's pulse himself. There were indeed signs of poisoning, but it was not serious as it did not affect the heart, lungs and internal organs. Moreover, as Wang Daodao described, as long as there were no signs of worsening of the condition after taking the medicine, the condition should improve.

Moreover, the discomfort in his eyes has not worsened. It’s just that after applying the medicine, the burning and cold sensations intersect, making his eye sockets uncomfortable.

"I'm fine."

Zhou Youxuan took a breath. Why was Wei Wei so stubborn?

"Do you know what the most serious consequence is?"

"Blind."

Hearing Wei Wei's cold tone, as if the eyes weren't his own, Zhou Youxuan's breath got stuck in his throat. "Isn't it a big deal for you to go blind with your eyes closed?"

Wei Wei was silent. He tilted his head as if to look at Zhou Youguan, but his eyes were obviously numb and lifeless. "No."

“…”

"Then did you know that injuries to many parts of the human body can cause complications in other organs and limbs, which can also be serious enough to threaten life?"

Wei Wei lowered his eyes: "I have my own judgment."

When he shouldn't die, he will try his best to live, and when he can't live, he will die calmly.

Although there is no difference between being alive and being dead now, he still has unfinished things to do and it is not time for him to die yet.

Wei Wei clearly heard Zhou Youlan's rapid breathing, probably because he was angry with him.

But it was always tiring to say these words of mutual concern. Whether Zhou Youlan could understand it or not, he was too lazy to explain it further. After all, it was not that serious.

Zhou Youlan was helpless, but he still respected Wei Wei's opinion: "Then observe for a day. If it's serious, withdraw from the program and receive treatment."

Wei Wei could no longer see, and everyone was filled with worry. They were not only worried about Wei Wei's health, but also about the uncertain future.

The living map is now lost, and they are like headless flies, unable to find their way.

"I really admire Wei Wei," Ke Feiyang said. "Even after encountering such a thing, he remained calm and composed. He doesn't seem afraid at all."

"Yeah." Kang Xiang also sighed, "If it were someone else, not to mention being blind, even if they were injured they would have screamed and groaned for a while, but Wei Wei was so calm that he seemed to have no emotions at all."

Lin Yue thought of the shadow of her previous encounter with the snake, which still lingered in her mind. Whenever she thought of it, she would get goose bumps and shiver. She also believed that she had seen some storms, but at this moment she also had great respect for Wei Wei.

She said, "I don't know what he's been through. How could he be so fearless and indifferent to life and death at such a young age?"

Ruan Mengmeng held her chin. It was dark. Wei Wei sat there alone with his back straight, as if he was always alert and on guard. His eyes were open but he could not see anything. He needed help to drink water and could not say a few words to anyone.

It seems like he is the only one in his world.

Ruan Mengmeng suddenly felt that Wei Wei was very pitiful. "I feel like Brother Wei is... so lonely."

Each of them is very dependent on Wei Wei, either out of admiration, worship, or exploitation, and it cannot be denied that they cannot leave Wei Wei here.

But when Wei Wei fell one day, among so many people, there was not a single one that Wei Wei could trust and rely on enough.

[Quit, Wei Wei, and go get your eyes treated.]

[Very good, "Survival in Hell", you really played it big]

["Survival in Hell" You are really not afraid of death]

[No wonder this show has become so popular overseas, no one dares to go this far]

Whether or not someone will secretly treat the guests is really important to me.

[I'm so heartbroken! Such beautiful eyes, please don't let anything happen to them!]

[It’s over, what should Wei Wei do? The most difficult road to walk on has suddenly disappeared.]

…

Wang Ren didn't know where Ahu was going. Laogui just said that their medicine was not enough and Ahu went to find medicine.

It wouldn't take him so long to look for medicine. Seeing the old ghost's flickering eyes, Wang Ren lowered his eyes and said nothing.

It was not until the afternoon that Ah Hu caught up with them. He found some herbs in his hand that had a targeted effect on Wang Ren's wound.

When changing the dressing, Wang Ren asked him, "Where have you been?"

"Looking for medicine."

"Just looking for medicine?"

Ah Hu looked up at him and said, "What else do you think I would do?"

Wang Ren said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing this, Ah Hu paused, but suddenly became even more unhappy: "You know I will do anything for you, why are you testing me like this?"

"Where have you been?"

Ah Hu bandaged him skillfully. In the past, he was the one who always took care of Wang Ren's injuries.

"I found Wei Wei."

"Then what?"

Ah Hu snorted and laughed, looking at Wang Ren with a greedy and vicious look: "I have good news for you, Wei Wei will be blind for a while."

It was because he walked into this poisonous forest that he took the risk.

Having fought with Wei Wei, he knew that there was no way to compete with Wei Wei head-on, so he used this method. Even if he could not make Wei Wei blind from then on, it would be easier for them to do whatever they wanted during the time when Wei Wei lost his eyes.

Seeing Wang Ren's eyes suddenly turn cold, Ah Hu sneered with a mixture of anger and jealousy: "Only by getting rid of Wei Wei will those useless people have no one to rely on. Do you think that if Wei Wei keeps leading them, they won't be able to reach the end?"

It was because Wei Wei was there that they wasted so much time.

"We're about to enter a restricted area we've never been to before. Do you think we'll still have a chance if Wei Wei is still here?" Ah Hu was a little excited. "Why, are you going to turn over a new leaf because of Wei Wei?"

Wang Ren slapped Ah Hu hard on the face. The sound was so crisp that the old ghost was so scared that he ran over quickly.

It’s not that they haven’t had conflicts in the past, but the most serious one was just a fight. The worst punishment Wang Ren had ever dealt to them was a fight, but fighting and slapping are different in nature.

"Brother," the old ghost said with a real headache, "Let's talk it over nicely."

Wang Ren asked Lao Gui, "Do you know this too?"

The old ghost twitched his lips guiltily, "I know, but Ah Hu did the right thing."

Wang Ren said coldly: "If you do it again, don't follow me anymore."

It seemed that Wang Ren didn't want to argue anymore. Lao Gui felt relieved and quickly replied, "Got it."

On the other side——

Wei Wei gave the other half of the map to Zhou Youguan. Half of the route where they took a detour was indicated on the map, and if they followed it, the deviation would not be too big.

Now that he was blind, Wei Wei had no way to clear the way for them. He also didn't want to hold everyone back, so he just let everyone go first.

But if he doesn't move, how could anyone be willing to leave? Even Chen Nan and the others didn't leave him behind, let alone Wei Wei.

Many of them regard Wei Wei as their big brother, leader, and protector, and they will not abandon Wei Wei no matter who else they leave behind.

"Brother Wei, don't feel burdened. We'll definitely carry you out even if we have to." Zhang Longtong took the backpack off him first. "We also took turns carrying the wounded before, why can't we do that with you?"

Zhang Longtong handed his backpack to Ke Feiyang who was standing beside him, "I'll carry you first. When I get tired, I'll take over."

Ke Feiyang: "Then I'll take the next step."

"Alright." Zhou Youguan interrupted them. He handed the map to Ke Feiyang and put his backpack on his chest. "I'll do it. You guys go open the way."

Ke Feiyang took the map and looked at Wei Wei with some concern, "...Okay then, I'll let Meng Meng get you a flashlight."

"Um."

Seeing that Zhou Youguan was still wearing a backpack, the big monkey took his backpack to help him lighten his burden.

Everyone followed Ke Feiyang forward, Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei stayed behind.

"You go first." Wei Wei said, "Just leave some medicine for me. When my eyes get better, I will catch up with you."

"Have you forgotten where this is?" Zhou Youguan really didn't know what to say to him. "Wang Daodao said your eyesight won't improve for at least three to five days. You've been here all alone these past few days. If a wild animal comes, you won't know where to escape. Do you think I'll leave you here?"

Wei Wei: "You underestimate me."

Zhou Youlan: “?”

"I don't doubt your abilities, but could you please not misinterpret other people's concerns and worries as ill intentions? Since you're unwilling to leave the show, as the captain of this team, I won't abandon you."

"Come up quickly."

Wei Wei didn't move. Zhou Youguan rested his hands on his knees. Turning back, he saw Wei Wei pursing his lips with a cold expression. He suddenly laughed out loud: "Wei Wei, do you have to be so awkward?"

Wei Wei raised his eyes and roughly guessed where Zhou Youguan was, and glared at him with a frown.

Zhou Youguan softened his voice again: "Come up, Hero Wei, we will be leaving soon."

"Need not."

Besides, logically speaking, Zhou Youlan is his employer. How can he ask his employer to take care of him as a bodyguard? Assistant Zhou was watching outside and didn't know how to be angry and distressed.

Besides, he wasn't used to being this close to someone.

Zhou Youlan couldn't argue with him, so he stood up, found a branch left on the ground, and handed it to Wei Wei.

"Well, since you're not allowed to carry it, then you can just hold my backpack strap. I'll be in front and you just follow my direction. Is that okay?"

Wei Wei nodded.

Zhou Youxuan pulled his hand onto his backpack and said, "If you're tired, just tell me. We can slow down."

"Um."

Everyone would look back from time to time, just worried about whether Zhou Youlan and the others had caught up.

Chen Nan was always at the end of the team. He was originally walking ahead of Zhou Youguan, but he slowly slowed down and waited for Zhou Youguan and the others to come forward before he followed them.

Zhou Youguanzui hardly stopped all the way, and kept reminding Wei Wei, who was following behind, that there were stones and potholes under his feet, and told him which way to walk so as not to sprain his ankle.

Zhang Longtong couldn't help but cover his ears when he heard it: "Wow, Brother Zhou, you've become so noisy."

Everyone turned around and joked, "Brother Zhou, why don't you just put Brother Wei on your belt?"

Assistant Zhou was in a very complicated mood in front of the screen. He had never seen Wei Wei like this before.

Mr. Zhou was busy with work and business and was away from home all year round. It can be said that Zhou Youlan was raised by him, and he knew Zhou Youlan's character best.

The young master of their family is simple-minded but kind-hearted. He has always been most worried that Zhou Youlan would be deceived because of his poor judgment of people. That is why he always follows his master's advice and arranges some of his own people to follow Zhou Youlan and protect him openly or secretly.

But who would have thought that Zhou Youlan had different thoughts about Wei Wei.

It has always been others who serve Zhou Youguan, never the time when Zhou Youguan serves others.

He understood the look in Zhou Youlan's eyes when he looked at Wei Wei, the various expressions of concern he showed towards Wei Wei, and what he was thinking.

The Zhou family rules are insurmountable, but Zhou Youlan is a person who cannot be persuaded to change his mind once he has made up his mind. If Zhou Youlan is serious this time, there will probably be more trouble in the future.

Assistant Zhou held his forehead and sighed deeply. Perhaps it was a wrong decision to send Wei Wei to Zhou Youlan.

Who would have thought that Wei Wei not only made the teacher take special care of him, but also moved Zhou Youlan.

Everyone was joking when they suddenly heard the sound of someone falling.

Li Rongsheng suddenly fainted, perhaps because he was too tired.

Lin Yue and Ruan Mengmeng quickly helped her up and took a closer look. They found that Li Rongsheng was in a very bad condition and her lips were even a little purple. Ruan Mengmeng called her several times before she woke her up.

"What's wrong with you?" Ruan Mengmeng checked her old wound. "Is the previous wound worse now?"

But after taking the medicine before, Li Rongcheng had clearly shown signs of improvement.

When she pulled up her sleeve, she found a new abrasion on her arm, and an inflamed blister on the wound.

"What's going on? Are you scratched by these trees?"

Li Rongsheng pulled down his sleeves: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Ruan Mengmeng: "Why didn't you tell me you were scratched? Brother Zhou has medicine."

"You guys go first, don't worry about me, I'm really fine." Li Rongsheng pushed Ruan Mengmeng weakly, "Don't worry about me."

Noticing the strange scratches on her hands, Zhou Youguan asked them to stop and rest.

After everyone had moved away, Zhou Youguan squatted beside her and asked, "Why did you scratch your arm?"

Everyone was wearing a coat the whole time, and even those who didn't wore long sleeves. There were no dirty marks on Li Rongsheng's sleeves from being scratched by the sharp thorns on the tree, so it could only be that Li Rongsheng got scratched himself.

Li Rongsheng turned his head away and said, "Don't worry about me, just go ahead."
