"Nanfeng, grab my whip!" Xie Yunjiao threw the whip to Nanfeng. Nanfeng grabbed the hemp rope with one hand and tried to grab the whip thrown by Xie Yunjiao with the other hand.
But she failed, because Xie Yunjiao's whip was too short. Even though she was standing at the edge of the swamp, she still couldn't throw the whip to Nanfeng.
Xie Yunjiao thought for a moment and said to Gu Huai, "Gu Huai, hold my hand."
Take her hand and she'll be closer.
Gu Huai tightly grasped Xie Yunjiao's left hand, and then used his internal energy to allow himself to stand more steadily.
Xie Yunjiao leaned over and swung the whip at Nanfeng, who finally caught it.
Xie Yunjiao was delighted and was about to pull the whip.
At this moment, another monster appeared on the other side.
Before anyone could react, it bit Nanfeng's arm and dragged him into the swamp.
Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai pulled hard, but the monster was too strong and pulled them towards the swamp.
"Nanfeng, you can't let go!" Xie Yunjiao shouted at Nanfeng.
Nan Feng looked at Xie Yunjiao, a weak smile gradually appeared on his face. He said to Xie Yunjiao: "Boss, let's be brothers again in the next life."
As he said that, he let go of her hand.
"No, don't! Nanfeng!"
Xie Yunjiao screamed at Nanfeng in pain, wanting to jump into the swamp and pull Nanfeng out.
But her other hand was held tightly by Gu Huai, who refused to let go.
"Gu Huai, let go!" Xie Yunjiao shouted at Gu Huai.
Gu Huai looked at Xie Yunjiao sadly, he would not let go.
"Madam, calm down. Even if you go down, it will be useless. It will only cause one more person to suffer." Gu Huai said.
Xie Yunjiao said with red eyes: "I can't calm down. He is my brother. He has been by my side since he was a child. Nanfeng..."
Xie Yunjiao took out the silver needle from her waist, turned around and stabbed Gu Huai's hand without hesitation.
I didn't expect Gu Huai to be able to endure the pain and refuse to let go.
The moment Nanfeng let go of his hand, his entire body quickly sank into the swamp.
Just as his head was about to be submerged in the swamp, Jing Kai desperately sprinkled powder at the monster and threw his sword that could cut through iron like mud.
The sword pierced straight into the monster's head, and the monster opened its mouth in pain.
Xie Yunjiao was delighted when she saw this. She said to Gu Huai, "Quick, go and save Nanfeng..."
Gu Huai quickly came to Nanfeng through the hemp rope and grabbed Nanfeng's hand tightly. Fortunately, Nanfeng listened to Grandma Zhenzhu and did not move, so he fell into the swamp slowly. However, the monster's dragging just now put him in a devastating disaster and only one hand was left outside.
Gu Huai used all his strength to pull and finally succeeded in pulling Nan Fengchong out of the swamp, but he had lost consciousness, and his arm, which had been bitten by the monster, was a bloody mess with the bone visible.
If she hadn't been able to feel his weak pulse, Xie Yunjiao would have thought he was dead.
Xie Yunjiao's nose felt very sore, but she didn't cry. She turned her grief into strength to help Nanfeng heal his wounds.
Grandma Zhenzhu was familiar with the terrain. She brought Xie Yunjiao and the others to an open area where it seemed someone had camped before. There were pots and pans, as well as a half-burned firewood that had been extinguished.
"Usually we would rest and camp here after climbing up the mountain and then coming down. I didn't expect it would be so difficult for us to climb the mountain." said Grandma Pearl.
Grandma Zhenzhu helped Nanfeng treat his wounds. She asked Gu Huai and Jing Kai to light torches around to prevent wild animals from approaching at night.
Grandma Zhenzhu gave some instructions with a serious expression. Gu Huai and the others did not dare to take it lightly and followed the instructions strictly, even going beyond the scope of the task.
Granny Pearl looked at the torches all around her and twitched her lips. "You've lit so many torches, aren't you afraid of suffocating yourself or being too hot to sleep?"
Although it was winter, the weather on the island was not cold. With so many torches burning brightly, the faces of Gu Huai and Jing Kai, the two people in charge of lighting the fires, were already burnt red.
The people surrounded by torches also felt uncomfortable and soon felt very stuffy.
Xie Yunjiao glanced in the direction of Bei Ming. He couldn't eat or drink, and couldn't replenish water in time. In such an environment, he would easily become dehydrated.
"Gu Huai, remove some of the torches and just light them where the torches were originally." Xie Yunjiao said.
Gu Huai and Jing Kai quickly removed most of the torches, and only then did they feel much more comfortable.
Xie Yunjiao thought, sometimes experience is more important than anything else.
Grandma Pearl helped Nanfeng treat his wounds and fed him medicine, and he gradually woke up.
He originally felt very warm, but when he opened his eyes and saw the flames, he thought he had gone to the eighteen levels of hell and was being burned at the stake.
His heart couldn't help but tighten, thinking that the dirty things he had thought about were indeed unjust and deserved to go to hell!
"Nanfeng, you're awake." Xie Yunjiao said in surprise when she saw Nanfeng wake up.
Nanfeng was stunned for a moment. When he saw Xie Yunjiao's face, he was sure that he was not dead but was rescued.
"Boss..." Nanfeng shouted.
Xie Yunjiao slapped Nanfeng on his uninjured arm and said, "Next time, if you dare not let go of my hand, I won't just hit this side of your hand. I'll hit the side that's injured."
Nanfeng smiled helplessly. He really didn't want Xie Yunjiao to get into trouble because of him, so he chose to let go.
If he could do it again, he would still let go.
It would be fine if something happened to him, but he must not implicate the boss!
He suddenly thought of something and was about to sit up after looking around. Xie Yunjiao pushed him down and said, "Don't worry, he's fine. You should have a good rest too. I'll bring you something to eat when it's ready. After you finish eating, go to sleep. We'll be on our way early tomorrow morning."
Xie Yunjiao thought that their journey was really miserable. They hadn't even reached the halfway point of the mountain, but they had encountered so many strange things and had become disabled people who needed care.
The strangest thing is that this mountain is filled with a strange atmosphere.
Why is there a swamp on the mountain out of nowhere, and there are crocodile-like monsters in the swamp!
But everything here is strange. A witch doctor who uses his body to raise Gu, heals illnesses and injuries without taking pulses. Joints that can still move without flesh and skin...
There are too many things to explain.
Since there is no explanation, I can only accept it calmly.
What worried her the most was that they had just arrived in the mountains and had already experienced so many things, and she didn't know how many more difficulties were waiting for them.
If two more people get injured, I’m afraid we won’t be able to continue our journey!
"The food is ready, have some," said Grandma Pearl.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhenzhu." Xie Yunjiao took the roasted fruit handed to her by Grandma Zhenzhu.
She was so hungry that she didn't care how hot it was and started eating it.
Gu Huai, Jing Kai and others were not much better than her, and they ate voraciously.
