Chapter 166: Flood Dispersed
Lu Weiyi took out dry clothes and medicine from the space. Lu Xi and Xi Shi applied medicine to each other's bruises, changed clothes, and took cold medicine for prevention. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Xi, go lie down on the bed for a while." Lu Xi was a person with special abilities, and he was young, so he didn't look that bad at the moment. However, Xi Shi looked a little listless.
"Okay," Xi Shi nodded and looked out the window with some worry, "I don't know when they can bring the letter over."
Xiong Jie watched him fall, and Xi Shi was a little worried about him.
"Li Zhuang knows that I saved people, so he should be fine." Lu Weiyi has learned to comfort others by saying things that he is not sure of himself.
"Don't worry, just take a rest first, we will go back directly later," said Lu Xi.
There was no other way for the time being, so Xi Shi nodded and lay down on the bed.
"Aiyi? Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Xi was a little worried about Zhuang Aiyi who had been silent.
Zhuang Aiyi shook his head, leaned on Lu Weiyi's shoulder, and hugged his neck tightly.
"Wei Yi, did you bring the gas tank? Do you have ginger?" Xi Shi asked.
"Yes," Lu Weiyi replied. Only a small part of the team's supplies were outside, and most of them were still in Lu Weiyi's space.
"Take it out. I'll cook some ginger soup for everyone to drink. It's raining and showering in this weather. The cold air will enter your body and you might get sick." After Xi Shi said this, he looked at Lu Weiyi and didn't know whether he would get up or not, so he decided to get up.
Lu Xi hurriedly stopped the man, "I'll do it, I know how to do it. Isn't it just chopping the ginger into pieces and boiling it in water? It's simple. You should take a rest. If Brother Xiong sees you like this, he will probably think I bullied you."
Xi Shi smiled and lay back down again.
Lu Xi took two large pieces of ginger and cut them into pieces with his eyes narrowed. Lu Weiyi took out a few mutant peaches from the space, handed one to Xi Shi, and put one to Zhuang Aiyi's mouth, "Eat some mutant fruit. The subtle energy contained in it is good for your body."
Zhuang Aiyi dodged and buried his head in Lu Weiyi's chest.
"How about just one?" Lu Weiyi had never coaxed a child before. Although he and Zhuang Aiyi had become much closer in the past few months, there was still a slight distance between them.
Moreover, Zhuang Aiyi has always been sensible in front of him, and this is the first time she has acted so willful.
Lu Weiyi felt a little surprised, but more of a heartache. The little meat ball lay limply on his body, hugging him tightly with his little arms as if he was his only support. The face that had finally regained some color now looked pale, making his voice much softer.
Zhuang Aiyi hesitated for a moment, looked up after a moment, and took a bite of Lu Weiyi's hand reluctantly.
"Be good, we will go find big daddy later." Lu Weiyi held Zhuang Aiyi and sat him on his lap. He felt relieved to see him eating and coaxed him in a low voice. However, after eating just a few bites, Zhuang Aiyi coughed and then started vomiting.
Lu Weiyi panicked immediately. He was at a loss as to what to do. He got off the bed, half-bent down Zhuang Aiyi, and patted him on the back gently to help him vomit more smoothly.
“This…what’s going on?”
"It's okay, it's okay. It's normal for children to vomit when they are uncomfortable," Xi Shi, as the only "adult", hurried to comfort him. Lu Weiyi was only in his twenties and he was still a child. Even though he had experienced a lifetime, he was protected too well by Zhuang Mingxu at that time. Now that he was at a loss, his first reaction was to seek help from older people.
Lu Xi poured a cup of freshly warm water for Zhuang Aiyi to rinse his mouth after he vomited, cleaned up the vomit neatly, and looked at Zhuang Aiyi worriedly.
The little child, who did not grow up with his parents, was cautious by nature. Even though he felt uncomfortable at this moment, except for a few physiological tears when he vomited, he did not shed any tears at this moment, which made Lu Xi feel distressed.
After Zhuang Aiyi vomited three times, he became dizzy and started to have a fever, which made the inexperienced men very anxious.
"Xiaoxi, go find a doctor." Lu Weiyi remembered that Zhuang Aiyi was born with twin sperm and had been in poor health since childhood, and he became more and more unable to calm down.
Lu Xi opened the door and called out, and Lin Mo came over soon. When he heard that the child was sick, he frowned and asked others to call the military doctor over. He said to them, "There is only a military doctor here. Most of the military doctors accompanying the team are surgeons. Let's ask him to come over and take a look first."
"Okay," Lu Xi said, pointing to the pot of boiling water on the side, "I just made a pot of ginger soup. You can give everyone a bowl to warm themselves up."
"Thank you," Lin Mo said, and asked someone to take the pot away.
After a while, someone came over with a gentleman-looking man wearing glasses. "Lin Mo, who is injured?" The man was carrying a medicine box and walked hurriedly. He asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Sun Cheng, the child is not feeling well and there is no doctor available right now. Please take a look at him quickly," Lin Mo said as he let the person in.
"The child suddenly vomited and had a fever, and is now a little drowsy." Xi Shi himself did not feel very well, but he was more patient than the child. Especially at this time Lu Weiyi was a little panicked, so it was even less likely for him to rest.
Sun Cheng raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. He walked forward and roughly checked Zhuang Aiyi. After asking some questions, he said, "Maybe he was frightened. Take some antipyretics first. You've been caught in the rain and flushed with water, so take some cold medicine as a precaution." As he spoke, he opened the medicine box and took a look, then made a "tsk" sound.
"Doctor, what's wrong? Do you need anything?" Lu Xi asked.
"All the medicines here are for adults. There's nothing for colds and fevers. How can I give them to a child?"
"I have medicine. What's its name? Tell me," Lu Weiyi said.
Sun Cheng mentioned the names of several medicines for children. Lu Weiyi used his mental power to flip through the medicine shelves that were sorted out in the space. After a moment, he took out a bunch of medicines for children.
Sun Cheng was surprised for a moment, but didn't show any other reaction. He flipped through the drinks and took out a few, "Feed him first, and then see how it goes."
"When the child wakes up, give him something hot to eat, such as rice porridge or rice noodles, and avoid eating raw or cold food," Sun Cheng said, and glanced at the men in the room, "Where is the child's mother? You men are not careful enough when taking care of the child. It would be better to find a woman."
"Yeah," Lu Weiyi responded.
"Okay, give him the medicine first, and call me if there is any problem," said Sun Cheng.
"Okay, thank you very much," Lu Xi thanked and went to see him off. When they reached the door, Sun Cheng turned back and looked at Xi Shi and said, "Brother, you have a fever too, right? Take some medicine yourself. In this world, even a minor illness can easily kill people."
Lu Xi turned around and looked over. He saw that the intern's cheeks were red and his expression was extremely ugly. He reached out and touched it and found that he did have a fever.
Lu Weiyi also found some antipyretic and cold medicine for Xi Shi. The adults took the medicine easily, but the children had more difficulty, especially since Zhuang Aiyi was still in a coma and couldn't be woken up. He couldn't get the two doses of medicine down his throat, and the adults were sweating from the hassle.
"Xiaoxi, can you drive a motorboat? Brother Xi needs to rest, we can't handle it like this, let's get a few people to help." Lu Weiyi was also holding on during his internship. Without Zhuang Mingxu by his side, he always felt backboneless when he panicked, especially in the area of taking care of children which was unfamiliar to him.
"...I'll ask Brother Liu to find someone to take me there," Lu Xi said, and asked Lu Weiyi for some millet. "I'll cook the porridge, and Aiyi can drink it directly when she is hungry. Brother Xi, you should also take a rest, I will pick someone up as soon as possible."
"Okay, be careful. If you really can't get through, don't force it," Xi Shi said.
"Got it," Lu Xi said.

silence.
On the roof of Longmen Villa, apart from the sound of dripping rain, no other sound could be heard.
More than a dozen men were standing or sitting at this time, their eyes fixed on the direction of the flood. As time went by, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
"I want to find Xi Shi." Xiong Jie had calmed down at this time, and he shouted to the few people who were on guard beside him.
"This... where are you going to find it?" It had been so long, and Xu Sa couldn't say anything about waiting any longer.
"Follow the water, you will...you will find it eventually." Xiong Jie looked a little dazed when he said this. He looked around and murmured, "I want to find something that can float on the water..."
Zhuang Mingxu opened his mouth and wanted to say "I'll go too", but facing his legs lying on the ground, he couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, he regretted very much that he should have treated his legs as soon as possible. The potatoes could be entrusted to other people to take care of, but his legs were his own. For the first time, he realized that he seemed to have begun to lose track of priorities.
Sensing the helplessness on Zhuang Mingxu's face, Ning Yuan took the initiative to shout, "I'll go with you." As he said that, he turned around and activated his supernatural powers directly towards the surging flood, and a decent ice boat appeared on the water.
Xiong Jie's eyes lit up and he jumped up first. The ice boat shook a few times and maintained its balance under Ning Yuan's supernatural control.
"I'll go with you. When your superpowers are insufficient, I can still support you," said Gu Qingyue.
"I'll go with you," said Gu Qingji.
"I……"
"Let's just have the four of us. If there are too many people, more supernatural powers will be consumed." Ning Yuan stopped the others who were about to go, bent over to wipe the rain off his face, and said to Zhuang Mingxu, "Mingxu, go home and wait. I will definitely bring the person back to you."
Zhuang Mingxu looked up at Ning Yuan, his eyes instantly reddened. His lover and children were missing, but he was powerless to do anything. This feeling was torturous but he had no place to vent.
Ning Yuan's words magnified the situation countless times. He reached out and patted Ning Yuan's shoulder, saying heavily, "Please."
"Well, don't get wet in the rain, let's go back first," Ning Yuan said to him and prepared to leave.
"You guys..." Li Zhuang asked, "Have you ever thought about how to get back?"
"..." The four people looked at each other and were suddenly confused. The ice boat could carry them far away, but it had no power to go upstream and return.
"Then I won't come back." Xiong Jie was almost going crazy at this time. Seeing that others were hesitating, he said directly, "I will go alone."
