Just as Xin Honghai was sighing, Meng Guangkun had already walked in with the boiled medicine.

The broken bowl in my hand had several holes in it, but luckily it was still usable.

"Help my sister-in-law up and give her medicine. I hope she can make it! We have limited resources here. This is all I can do!"

Xin Honghai naturally knew the danger of a persistent high fever, and given their current situation, they could only try their best to save the situation.

"No matter what, I am grateful to you for helping me. If it weren't for you, Xiao Shuxia might not have survived last night!"

"Don't talk about that. Give him the medicine first, or he'll get cold and lose the effect of the medicine."

"Oh, okay, okay!"

The two of them helped together. Although Chen Shuxia was a little unconscious, she still knew how to swallow, which made Xin Honghai very happy.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! The old woman is saved!"

Meng Guangkun also nodded in agreement.

"It's a good thing you can still swallow it. I'll make another bowl later. Drink it again before going to bed at night and you'll almost wake up!"

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Lao Meng! I'm so grateful to you!"

"Why are you saying all this? If you hadn't given me half a piece of rice, I might have starved to death by then."

"Let's not talk about that. Our friendship as brothers will last a long time!"

"Yes, we have a lot of time to spend together in the future! Okay, you take care of my brother and sister-in-law, I'm going to go see those three old guys, they said they were going to chop wood, why haven't they come back yet!"

"Maybe we should go further away. You know, there's nothing left around here!"

"Oh, yes! I am old and weak now, I can't bear the torture!"

With a sigh, Meng Guangkun walked out of the cowshed holding the bowl of medicine. It was late autumn and a cool breeze blew over him. Meng Guangkun couldn't help but sneeze.

The clothes they were wearing were still thin summer clothes. It would be difficult for them to get through the winter safely in this situation.

Shaking his head, Meng Guangkun put the bowl on the stove, and then walked away, ready to greet the three old guys.

In the woods, Zhang Kaixuan led Zhao Fengshan, Yu Canghai and others to chop wood. They said they were chopping wood, but in fact they were just breaking it with their hands.

They didn't have machetes, they just picked up fallen branches or trunks that they broke off from high places with their hands.

It took so long because we had to walk far and pick things up slowly.

“Coooooo…coooooo…”

Just as the three of them were concentrating on looking for firewood, they suddenly heard a rooster crowing not far away.

Zhang Kaixuan's eyes lit up and he licked his lips.

"I haven't tasted meat for a long time. Could it be that God has opened his eyes today and sent me a pheasant?"

"Where is Lao Zhang and Pheasant?"

"Hmph, why are you shouting so loudly? You might scare the pheasants away!"

Yu Canghai on the side also lowered his tone.

"Mr. Zhang, can you please?"

"Tsk, you underestimate me, this little thing is easy for me to deal with, just wait for me to eat meat!"

It was said to be late, but it was actually fast. Zhang Kaixuan immediately picked up a stone from the ground.

“Whoosh!”

The stone broke through the air and hit the pheasant's wing.

"Puff...coo...puff..coo..."

The pheasant was knocked down, but it still struggled bravely, flapping its injured wings, trying to escape from this dangerous place.

It's a pity that Zhang Kaixuan couldn't miss the fat meat that he had finally got.

He took a few quick steps and caught up with the injured pheasant.

With just one move of the hand, the pheasant's neck was broken.

The pheasant that was jumping around just now suddenly became quiet.

"Great job, Lao Zhang. I didn't expect you to have this skill! From now on, our brothers' food supply will be in your hands!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm just lucky today. Do you think you can get wild chickens every day?"

"You rude man, if you don't have it, then you don't have it. You don't even talk properly. You are so rude!"

"You are so elegant, you are so elegant, but you live in the same shed with me. Why are you pretending to be so elegant? Hurry up and see if there is a pheasant's nest in the bushes. Check to see if there are any eggs!"

Although he was resentful, who told him that he was the one who knew how to hunt? He had to bow his head under the eaves. In order to have a bite of meat, Yu Canghai no longer argued with Zhang Kaixuan.

I trotted all the way to the bush where the pheasant had been and searched carefully. Surprisingly, I actually found a nest of pheasant eggs at the bottom of the bush.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, there really are eggs! One, three, four... six in total!"

"It really is! Let me see!"

Zhao Fengshan heard the sound and came over. Zhang Kaixuan stood behind holding a pheasant. The three masters' eyes sparkled green when they saw the nest of pheasant eggs.

"Today is a good day! Let's go back and make some chicken soup!"

"Um!"

Carrying the firewood they had gathered, the three men returned to the cowshed with the pheasant and the six pheasant eggs.

Halfway through the journey, they met Meng Guangkun who came to pick them up.

"Old Meng! Why are you here? Didn't you go to pick herbs?"

"The medicine has been picked up a long time ago, and my sister-in-law has already drunk it. But you, why did you come back so late?"

"Haha, come here, Lao Meng, let me show you something good!"

Zhang Kaixuan pushed aside the firewood, and inside was the pheasant that had just been killed.

"Oh my goodness, this is awesome, Lao Zhang, you can still gain something from going out!"

"That's right, don't you see who I am, Old Zhang? My sister-in-law is sick, let's make some chicken soup and we can all take care of ourselves!"

"Well, in our situation, we can only have chicken soup, but we have to wait until later. It's definitely not possible now!"

"Why not!"

"You are so stupid! The smell of your chicken soup will spread all over the village. Someone will come and cause trouble for you!"

"Yes, yes, you are right. Let's just bear with it for now. But we can cook an egg first. Eggs are tasteless, right?"

"And eggs!"

"Yes, six in one nest, we got them all back!"

"Good guys, you are amazing! Okay, let's go back quickly!"

When they returned to the cowshed, Chen Shuxia had already woken up. Although her face was still red, she was already conscious.

Seeing Meng Guangkun coming back, Chen Shuxia thanked him again:

"Brother Meng, thank you so much for this time. If you hadn't risked your life to go to the mountains to collect herbs, I really don't know if I would have survived!"

"Hey, this is just a small thing, and it's not worth it for you two to thank each other one by one. In our current situation, we should help each other.

Only by uniting together can we live a good life. If we are not united, each of us will be our own disaster.

So, from now on, we are all one family, no one needs to be polite to anyone else!"

"Yes, what Lao Meng said is right. I, Lao Zhang, am the first to agree. Now that it has come to this, it will be meaningless if we continue to fight among ourselves!"

"Yes, yes, that's right. Okay, sister-in-law, you should take good care of yourself and don't think about those nonsense. Look what we brought back from the mountains today!"

The pheasant's bright feathers were revealed, and not only Chen Shuxia, but even Xin Honghai was a little surprised.

"Well, you guys are lucky! You got this much!"

"That's right, don't you see who did it! But who among you can handle this wild chicken? I'm a rough guy, there's no way I can handle this thing!"

"Let me do it. I can kill a chicken and a simple meal is no problem!"

Xin Honghai took the initiative to ask for leave. After all, everyone has worked hard for a while, and it is his turn to show his ability.

"Then, leave it to the Red Sea. We can wait to eat the real thing!"

"No problem, thank you, the captain has delivered our rations. Although it's not much, we can have a full meal today!"

"real?"

"Of course!"
