The people surrounding Ding Yi and Bing Er were making a ruckus. A few people were whispering to each other, and before anyone knew what they were saying, everyone rushed forward, grabbed Ding Yi and Bing Er, lifted them up, and drove them away in a certain direction.
Su Xiaoning's heart pounded. She immediately returned to the cave and anxiously shouted, "Quickly, come with me to rescue them! Ding Yi and Bing Er have been captured!"
"What?!" Su Qingcai frowned, got up and took a few steps but suddenly fell to the ground.
Su Xiaoning was startled and rushed over to help Su Qingcai up. She looked at Su Qingcai's lower body and saw a large patch of blood seeping through his trouser leg. "What happened to your leg!"
"Hiss..." Su Qingcai gasped in pain, barely able to stand even with Su Xiaoning's support. "I got stuck in the hull of the boat, and that's when I cut my leg. It's acting up now."
The situation was critical, and Ding Yi and Bing Er were in a hurry to save the person, so they didn't know their own strength and pulled, and Su Qingcai's leg was cut in the struggle. He had been in a state of high tension before, so he hadn't paid attention to the wound on his leg, but now it hurt.
Su Qingcai was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely and his body was trembling uncontrollably. Su Xiaoning felt sorry for him and quickly helped him sit down. She sighed and said, "Forget it. You can't go to save them in your condition. Let Ding Yi and Bing Er fend for themselves. I'll take care of you first. We'll go save them together after you've recovered."
Having no other choice at the moment, Su Qingcai could only nod in agreement.
Knowing that there were enemies of unknown origin on the island, Su Qingcai and Su Xiaoning hid in the cave and did not dare to go out, only eating some wild fruits nearby to barely fill their stomachs.
Late into the night, Su Qingcai, whose condition had been stable, suddenly developed a high fever.
He was delirious with fever, muttering incoherently. When Su Xiaoning was awakened by the noise and saw that he was not in a good condition, she was immediately jolted awake.
She rushed over and saw that Su Qingcai had her eyes closed, her forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and her face was abnormally red. Her cheeks felt hot to the touch.
Su Qingcai's leg injury must have become infected. If it is not treated soon, his life may be in danger!
Su Xiaoning could no longer care about anything else. She rushed out of the cave and, under the pale moonlight, began searching for herbs that could heal her wounds.
Although she didn't know much about herbs, she had no choice but to try anything. After gathering a bunch of unknown herbs, Su Xiaoning rushed back to the cave to treat Su Qingcai's wounds.
Su Xiaoning's hand had just touched Su Qingcai's leg when he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly pressed Su Xiaoning's hand down.
"No! Men and women are different, and there are many taboos. If you see my body so easily, how will I ever get married?"
"What time is it? Why are you still worried about the separation of men and women?" Su Xiaoning was both amused and exasperated. "It's just looking at a leg. It's not like I'm going to strip you naked. Anyway, I saw you when you took a bath last time. Why do you care about this? You don't need to worry about whether I can get married or not. You should focus on surviving first."
When the topic of catching him showering came up again, Su Qingcai felt his face burning even hotter. He frowned and fell silent.
Su Xiaoning pinned Su Qingcai down, rolled up his trouser leg without a second thought, chewed up the herbs she had found with her teeth, and applied them all over his body.
Having no strips of cloth to use for bandaging, Su Xiaoning thought for a moment and then tore off a piece of her own skirt to bandage Su Qingcai.
Su Qingcai had been turning his face away from Su Xiaoning the whole time. When he heard the sound of the fabric tearing, he subconsciously turned his head. When he saw Su Xiaoning's tattered skirt, something seemed to get stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word. His eyes were filled with some indescribable emotions.
Once everything was settled, the moon outside the cave disappeared without a trace.
Exhausted, Su Xiaoning collapsed and fell asleep next to Su Qingcai. Su Qingcai drifted into a daze, his consciousness fading into nothingness.
After a difficult night, Su Qingcai woke up very early the next day.
Unlike last night, he is now radiant and full of energy, in much better condition than when he first arrived on this island.
Su Qingcai was quite surprised by his own changes. Although his injuries were not too serious, it was impossible for him to recover so quickly.
Could it be the effect of yesterday's herbs?
Su Qingcai's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly went to look at the herbs left over from yesterday. After seeing what the herbs looked like, she was immediately shocked.
These herbs in front of him are rare and precious, and are said to have the effect of "bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones". Even Su Qingcai had only seen them by chance in the palace treasury, so it is no wonder that his injury healed so quickly.
Su Xiaoning is incredibly lucky; she can find such rare herbs so easily.
Su Qingcai sighed inwardly before turning to look at Su Xiaoning.
At that time, Su Xiaoning was too tired and was still asleep on the ground. Her small body was curled up in a ball, and she looked pitiful.
Seeing her tattered skirt, Su Qingcai felt a pang of pity. He approached Su Xiaoning, gently picked her up, and wanted to put her in his sleeping place, where Su Xiaoning had specially laid out several layers of leaves, which was much more comfortable than the rough ground.
Before she could even put it down, Su Xiaoning felt unwell and suddenly woke up.
Seeing that Su Qingcai was holding her, she exclaimed in surprise. The two stared at each other, speechless for a moment.
Su Qingcai's embrace was firm and strong, and a faint fragrance could be smelled from close up. Su Xiaoning's heart raced, and she quickly jumped down from his arms, her voice barely audible, "Your leg is healed so quickly?"
“This is all thanks to you.” Su Qingcai pointed to the remaining herbs. “These are all rare and precious herbs. It would be a waste to use them all on me.”
"What are you saying? As long as you're alive, who cares if they're rare or not?" Su Xiaoning scolded playfully. Suddenly remembering Ding Yi and Bing Er who had been captured, her face changed to a worried expression. "Now that your leg is healed, let's hurry up and rescue Ding Yi and Bing Er. They've been captured for so long, who knows what might happen to them."
Those people from yesterday seemed to be indigenous people. I wonder if they're still in the primitive stage of eating raw meat and drinking blood. If they kidnapped Ding Yi and Bing Er to eat them, that would be terrible.
Su Qingcai understood the priorities, nodded, and left the cave with Su Xiaoning.
The two followed the footprints left by the group of people from yesterday, but unexpectedly the footprints disappeared in front of a big tree.
"What's going on? They couldn't possibly live in a tree, could they?"
Su Xiaoning was a little confused. She pulled Su Qingcai forward, but her foot slipped and she fell into the trap with a "plop"!
