Clang!
Wang Lan threw the machete and dagger on the ground and said, "The machete is mine, and the dagger is yours!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Chen was taken aback: "Huh?"
"I found you a weapon...and then..."
At this point, Wang Lan's body began to sway precariously, and her legs seemed unable to support her weight.
"I...I'm tired..."
Wang Lan's voice gradually faded, and when the last "了" was uttered, Wang Lan swayed and fell down.
Nan Chen immediately stepped forward and helped Wang Lan up, and Wang Lan fell into Nan Chen's arms.
"Water...water...I want...water..."
Looking at the man in her arms, Nan Chen suddenly felt all her fear and apprehension vanish, replaced by a deep sense of heartache, though she didn't know where this emotion came from.
She immediately said to Arken, "Go find water!"
Arken was startled, but he also realized the situation and quickly turned around and left.
one person.
Five days.
Thousands were killed!
Wang Lan's body had already reached its limit. Even though he was covered in blood, Nan Chen could still see that Wang Lan's skin had obvious cracks, as if the energy in his body was too strong, so much so that his body simply could not withstand it.
Nan Chen held Wang Lan in his arms.
She reached out and used her sleeve to wipe the blood from Wang Lan's mouth so that it wouldn't mix with the blood when she drank water later.
Wang Lan appeared to be on the verge of death.
"The water's here!"
Aken's voice came from afar. He had found a large pot somewhere, filled it with water, and quickly ran back, placing the pot beside the two of them.
Nan Chen gently placed Wang Lan on her lap, even lifting her legs slightly to make Wang Lan more comfortable. Then, she cupped some water in her hands and brought it to Wang Lan's lips, softly saying, "Wang Lan, the water is here."
Seemingly hearing the gentle voice, the pain on Wang Lan's face lessened a bit, and then he slowly opened his mouth. Nan Chen carefully put the water into Wang Lan's mouth, and seeing Wang Lan's throat move, he had drunk all the water in Nan Chen's hand.
Nan Chen quickly scooped up another handful of water and handed it over, saying, "Go get him something to eat; he's too tired."
Aken nodded, said nothing more, and ran away.
Nan Chen kept feeding Wang Lan water, and the large pot of water was quickly finished by Wang Lan. Just as Aken returned with a large bunch of red berries and threw them all on the ground, before he could even catch his breath, Nan Chen said again, "Go and fetch some more water, the more the better."
"Ah?" Aken immediately complained, "Big sister, I've already made two round trips. Do you know how tired I am running so fast in such a short time!"
"Stop arguing," Nan Chen turned and gave Aken a cold look, then continued, "We must save him. If we want to leave here, we have to rely on him!"
"Sigh..." The desire to regain his freedom eventually drove Arken to stand up again, pick up the big pot, and run away.
Nan Chen looked at Wang Lan.
At this moment, Wang Lan's face showed pain again, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat, which quickly piled up and flowed down.
Nan Chen frowned and reached out to touch Wang Lan's forehead.
His expression changed instantly.
Wang Lan has a fever!
Even someone as capable as Wang Lan can get a fever? Can get sick?
This situation was completely unexpected for Nan Chen, especially since she had never had any experience taking care of anyone before. Suddenly, she felt a bit flustered, and it was in this moment of excitement that Nan Chen's leg, which had been half-raised, suddenly felt a sharp pain.
She subconsciously bent her knees, and Wang Lan, who was lying on her lap, suffered the consequences. As Nan Chen bent her legs, Wang Lan's head was suddenly thrown up, then tilted to one side, rolled down Nan Chen's calf, and landed face down on the ground.
"Um……"
Wang Lan immediately let out a painful groan.
"Ah! Wang Lan!"
Nan Chen quickly stood up, but she had been holding her leg up for too long, so her leg was sore and numb that it felt like thousands of tiny steel needles were constantly pricking her leg muscles. As soon as Nan Chen stood up, her leg suddenly went weak, and her knee involuntarily bent down, landing right where Wang Lan was.
The next moment, Nan Chen's knee slammed heavily into Wang Lan's lower back.
"Ugh—"
Wang Lan immediately screamed in agony, but his feverish delirium rendered him unable to resist. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his head, which he had raised in pain, slammed down onto the mud below, which was stained with his own blood.
Nan Chen: "..."
As fate would have it, Arken happened to return at that moment, and thus witnessed this dramatic scene.
Arken looked embarrassed: "Nan... Sister Nan..."
Nan Chen turned his head and looked at Aken with an equally embarrassed expression.
The scene became extremely awkward for a moment...
Aken: "Big sister, big brother is a wounded soldier, and a seriously wounded one at that."
Nan Chen blushed: "I...I know."
"But your knee was pressing against his waist the whole time."
"I, I didn't mean to."
"His lumbar disc is going to bulge out from all the pushing you've done."
"Listen to me, this was an accident."
"You, you listen to me first," Aken put down the big pot and pointed at Wang Lan, "If you don't get up, Big Brother will be crushed to death by you... Oh! Blood is bubbling from his mouth!"
