After walking for several more days, Si Yan, who has no sense of direction, made an unusual effort to recall the geography knowledge she had learned before.
Without a map, finding the location of Dark Sun Lake was like looking for a needle in a haystack for them. And the fact that they hadn't seen any other orcs except for a few wild beasts for so long was also something that made her very uneasy.
The children didn't seem panicked; in such a desperate situation, their mindset was much better than hers.
Si Yan even saw peace of mind and reassurance in the children's eyes.
That's why Si Yan was even more afraid to reveal her inner unease.
Dong Chi's condition was getting worse. The hot weather was exacerbating his injuries. She didn't have clean water to wash his wounds, and she felt that Dong Chi's wounds could become infected at any time.
Dong Chi lay on Si Yan's back, and because he was so close to her, he could hear her breathing and heartbeat all the time.
He could sense her unease and anxiety.
But he had never felt so at ease and at peace as he did now.
Thinking back, he was sold to Xiong Rou's family by her; that was the first time he had been abandoned and betrayed.
At that moment, he felt like he had lost the whole world.
But now, his whole world is back.
She didn't abandon him; she didn't abandon him even during such a difficult time.
Now she can abandon him at any time. He won't be angry with her or hate her anymore, no matter when she leaves him.
I used to think that letting go would be difficult.
Now I realize that all he wanted was unwavering loyalty and to never be abandoned.
"Mother..." Dong Chi called softly.
"Dong Chi." Si Yan turned to look at him. "Dong Chi!! Dong Chi!!!"
Dong Chi's lips were very white, his face was pale, and he was weak and swaying precariously.
This was probably the first time Si Yan regretted leaving the tribe.
If sacrificing one of hers could help her Dongchi get through the difficulties and remain healthy, she thought she would be willing.
"Mother," Bei Ji said with extreme worry, "Is my eldest brother going to die?"
Si Yan's whole body was tense.
She woke up one morning to find herself the mother of four children. She had always thought of herself as at most a godmother or stepmother. But now, the pain in her heart told her that she had long considered herself their biological mother.
She accepted their hatred, their dependence, and their love.
But now, seeing Dong Chi lying pale-faced and barely alive on the ground next to the big tree, he was filled with a sense of loss.
Her rationality was on the verge of collapse.
It's infected. The wound is still infected.
Xi Qing's eyes trembled as he said, "My brother is dying. I've seen other males in the tribe die like this. The shaman couldn't save him. My brother... is going to die."
Si Yan's heart ached, filled with despair, helplessness, and anger. "Ha! The villain in the book, the villain who pierced my heart with a sword, how could he die? Tell me, how could he die here?!"
"Mother..."
"He can't die." Si Yan tilted her head slightly. "This boy is my son."
Xi Qing and Bei Ji were pacing anxiously, while Si Yan closed her eyes tightly and opened that extremely difficult-to-open space.
The space, 1.5 cubic meters, was crammed full of things.
In the chaotic space, her consciousness searched for something.
Maybe so. When she was too lazy to tidy up, she might have just tossed it in.
One antibiotic, just one. God help me, help me find an antibiotic in my cluttered space!
"Mother!!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Si Yan's mouth.
The space, which was difficult to access, remained open for extended periods, causing her considerable distress.
"Antibiotics, we absolutely need them, antibiotics."
Whether it was divine intervention or not, she found a vial of medicine in a small weapon pouch in a corner that shouldn't have been there.
It was a vial of medicine that she hadn't finished using in her previous life and had casually tossed in!
--penicillin!
Heavens above! Heaven must have heard her prayers and thanked her for her unkempt and careless self in her past life!
Si Yan immediately took out the penicillin and injection. Her cheeks were flushed, whether from excitement or because she felt stuffy from the open space for too long, it was hard to tell.
"I'm going to give Dongchi a penicillin injection," Si Yan said.
Although Xi Qing and Bei Ji did not know what Si Yan had, they trusted her and knew it must be something that could save their elder brother's life.
"Found you." A soft, feminine voice came from beside a large tree. Xi Qing jumped to her feet, standing protectively in front of Si Yan.
The person who arrived was none other than Lang Xin from the Yanxiang tribe.
Bei Ji stepped forward and asked, "Does the tribe regret it? Are they going to take us back?"
Looking at the family of four, Lang Xin laughed and said, "Is Dong Chi going to die?"
Xi Qing said, "It's none of your business."
Wolf Xin: "I've seen Dong Chi suffer from this disease many times, and he's died every time, without exception. It seems he's going to die too. I don't think you'll be sad, right? After all, I'm going to take you back to the tribe."
They took them back to the tribe, but the children weren't happy at all.
Bei Ji clenched his fists, and Xi Qing asked, "Is it really to take us back to the tribe?"
"Of course it is..." Wolf Xin laughed heartily, "...fake!"
“Nanmo is dead, and Dongchi is going to die too. When the Blazing Sun arrives, you, you, you, one after another, will all die! Why does the tribe need you anymore?! Especially you!” Lang Xin pointed at Si Yan and said, “A guy who doesn’t deserve it at all, yet took Tyson away from you!!”
