Chapter 14 Taking care of Xuanmo for one night
Seeing that Xuan Mo had completely fainted, Shu Ning didn't care about anything else and immediately used teleportation[2] to take him back to her cave.
After gently placing Xuanmo on his bed, he quickly used teleportation[3] to fetch some river water.
Carefully removing his tattered animal skin coat, they discovered that parts of the coat were fused with his flesh.
She looked at his bloody wound, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, but her hands trembled slightly as she cleaned his wound.
Then quickly teleport back to the place where you last gathered the herbs [4] and crush them.
After applying the herbal medicine, bandage his wound with a clean animal hide.
She remained on edge the entire time, not daring to relax for even a moment.
After treating the wound, gently cover him with a blanket.
Just as Shu Ning was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she noticed that his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
She reached out and touched his forehead.
"Why is it so hot?" Shu Ning frowned.
After applying the wet fur to your forehead, open an encyclopedia and look up the nearest fever-reducing herb that can be eaten raw.
Fortunately, it's not too far, but she's never been to this place before, so she has to go out and find it this time.
Shu Ning dared not slack off and immediately rushed to the place where the herbs were.
Even though she is very tired now, she still doesn't rest.
After gathering the herbs, use the last teleport of the day [5] to return to your residence.
The sun was about to set.
Shu Ning was stumped by the herbs in front of her.
Although it's possible to eat it raw, he's currently unconscious...
Should I feed him with my mouth...?
Looking at Xuanmo, who still had a high fever and was pale-faced...
I can't worry about that anymore!
Shu Ning put the herbs in her mouth and chewed them, then leaned down and gently pried open his mouth with her hands to feed him the herbs...
I'm sorry, Xuanmo!
Shu Ning closed her eyes.
After feeding Xuanmo the medicine, she felt her face burning, and the blush spread to the back of her ears.
After doing all this, Shu Ning's tense mind finally relaxed a little, but she still didn't dare to rest.
The herbs didn't work so quickly; Xuanmo's body was still very hot, but he wasn't sweating as much as before.
Shu Ning continued to place the wet fur on his forehead.
Hopefully his temperature will come down soon.
...
"Cold...so cold..."
"What?" Shu Ning looked at the still-unconscious man with a tired expression, unable to hear what he was saying for a moment.
"cold……"
"Cold? Okay, okay, wait for me a minute."
After hearing what the man said, Shu Ning wanted to find a fur blanket in the cave, but she had already thrown away most of her things in the cave.
Where can I find it now?
"So cold...so cold..."
The man kept complaining of being cold.
With no other option, Shu Ning could only lie down on the bed and hug him.
"It's so cold..." the man cried out again.
Shu Ning could only hold him even tighter.
Seeing that the man had stopped complaining of being cold, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Shu Ning relaxed a little, but by then she was already exhausted and fell asleep without realizing it.
The next morning—
When Xuanmo woke up and opened his eyes, he looked at the unfamiliar cave ceiling. Alert, he immediately tried to get up, but the pain all over his body prevented him from doing so.
Only then did he notice Shu Ning, who was lying on her side asleep beside him.
She slept peacefully, her thick, long eyelashes, her tightly closed eyes, and her even breathing rising and falling—all of which seemed to tell him that she was very tired last night.
Could it really be her...?
Yesterday, he vaguely saw a huge figure on the altar, calling his name repeatedly.
She saved him.
But why would she save him?
This is unlike her usual style.
She used to be domineering and unreasonable, and only knew how to bully others.
Taking advantage of his inability to fight back or retaliate verbally, they especially loved to bully him among the three beastly husbands.
However, he usually kept his distance so that she couldn't find him.
And now, she's actually clashing with the wolf-like beastmen in order to save him.
Shu Ning felt a little breathless from the pressure of her hand on her chest. Just as she was about to move it away, Shu Ning woke up.
"You're awake?" Shu Ning asked excitedly upon seeing the man who had already woken up.
Realizing she was lying next to him, Shu Ning hurriedly got up.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
She remained silent when she saw a man.
Shu Ning explained, "You had a fever yesterday, it kept fluctuating between hot and cold, and I didn't have any extra blankets, so..."
"It's nothing," Xuan Mo said weakly, his thin lips slightly parted.
"Thank you for yesterday."
"You're welcome, you're welcome," Shu Ning said with a smile.
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No."
"That's good, but don't move around too much today, you have too many wounds on your body," Shu Ning instructed.
"If you don't mind, you can stay here for now." Shu Ning got up and tidied herself up.
"Lie down properly. Are you hungry? I'll go find you something to eat." She looked at his weak appearance and tried to get up, but then pressed him down again.
"I……"
"You must be hungry. Lie down and wait for me to come back." Shu Ning didn't give him a chance to refuse and went out after saying that.
As Xuanmo watched Shu Ning's disappearing figure, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
She seems to have really changed.
...
Shu Ning was strolling through the forest at that moment.
Where to find prey?
This was the first time she had ever hunted on her own.
Go fishing!
Shu Ning teleported to the riverbank, looked at the fat fish in the river, flashed into the river to catch the fish, and then flashed back.
After lighting a fire at the entrance of the cave, they began to grill the fish.
Xuanmo frowned upon smelling the smoke.
He had only ever smelled this odor when the forest was on fire.
A bad feeling crept into my mind.
not good!
After struggling to get up, just as I was about to get out of bed, I heard Shu Ning's voice—
"Grilled fish is here."
Shu Ning happily brought in the grilled fish.
"Why are you up? Lie down quickly." Shu Ning hurried over.
"What's going on outside?" Xuanmo asked weakly and urgently.
"Outside? Nothing's wrong outside," Shu Ning asked, puzzled.
Suddenly she remembered the fire and explained, "Everything's fine outside. I was just grilling fish."
Xuanmo looked at Shu Ning with a puzzled expression: "Grilled fish?"
"Yes, I just grilled fish over a fire. Come and try my grilled fish." Shu Ning said, handing one of the grilled fish to him.
Xuanmo frowned slightly.
"Try it." Shu Ning looked at him expectantly.
Xuanmo glanced at Shu Ning, then at the grilled fish skewered in her hand, and took it.
"Be careful, it's hot." After saying that, he sat down on the edge of the bed and ate another grilled fish.
"Hmm, not bad." Xuanmo said affirmatively as he ate the fish, which he had never tried before.
"Eat more if you like it!" Shu Ning said with satisfaction.
"How did you do it?" Xuanmo asked.
He had only ever eaten raw fish, which tasted delicious. This method of cooking resulted in fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it even more unique.
"It was roasted over a fire!" Shu Ning said proudly.
"Fire?" Xuanmo looked at her, puzzled.
"Okay, I'll take you to see a doctor when you're better. For now, you just need to rest." Shu Ning looked at the weak man with concern.
The fire outside had been extinguished before she came in.
Xuanmo did not respond.
He hasn't adjusted to such a big change in her yet.
He just kept his head down and ate the grilled fish in his hand.
"If only there were salt," Shu Ning sighed again.
I said I'd go find it, but I forgot.
Oh, right, Xuanmo...
Shu Ning looked at his lips, which were so dry they looked like they were about to peel.
But she didn't have anything to hold the water.
After finishing her grilled fish, Shu Ning decided to make a bowl.
Reaching the cave entrance, Shu Ning picked up a chainsaw and sawed a piece of wood, then used Jin Tong's large bone knife to cut out the approximate shape, and finally used Yi Yuan's small bone knife to carve it.
At this moment, Xuanmo sat on the bed, observing his surroundings.
It's much cleaner here than before, and the old stench is gone.
And the door to the cave entrance, did she make it herself?
This female... has recently felt so unfamiliar to him, yet he's even more willing to see her like this.
As Xuanmo pondered, he felt a strange sense of comfort here, and slowly drifted off to sleep again...
