During the day, it was placed at the cave entrance to absorb enough light, and at night, when it was turned on, it emitted a soft yet bright light, which was much more stable than a flickering campfire and made it easier for her to observe Qin Ye's situation at any time.
Qin Ye was unconscious, so she stayed by his side, wiping his forehead and palms with a damp towel from time to time to cool him down.
As the night deepened, the wind and snow outside showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, they intensified, howling like wild beasts.
The campfire crackled inside the cave, illuminating Su Tang's somewhat tired face.
She secretly added some spiritual spring water to the kettle, and when Qin Ye was a little more awake, she fed him a few sips.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Ye slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw Su Tang standing beside him, her eyes bloodshot, clearly having not slept all night.
"Tangtang..." His voice was hoarse as he reached out, wanting to touch her face.
"I'm here." Su Tang quickly grasped his hand, which was still burning hot to the touch.
"Water..." Qin Ye said with difficulty.
Su Tang quickly picked up the water bottle and carefully fed him a few sips.
After drinking the water, Qin Ye felt his throat was more comfortable and his eyes were clearer.
He looked at Su Tang, then at the soft, thick blanket covering him that was clearly not the kind they had brought.
And next to him was a mountain of food, emitting an enticing aroma—food that could never possibly exist there—that he thought he was hallucinating.
These things...
"Tangtang, these..." He wanted to ask, but didn't know how to start.
Su Tang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he might have noticed.
But she didn't have time to come up with any reasons at that moment.
She simply said softly, "Don't worry about these things right now. Eat something so you can have the strength to recover. I'll explain everything to you slowly once you're better, okay?"
Qin Ye nodded. He was indeed feeling weak all over and his stomach was empty and he was very hungry.
Su Tang fed him the warm millet and pumpkin porridge spoonful by spoonful.
The porridge was cooked perfectly, melting in your mouth with the natural sweetness of pumpkin and the rich aroma of millet. It slid warmly into your stomach, soothing your internal organs.
Qin Ye ate about half a bowl.
After eating, the medicine seemed to start taking effect, and Qin Ye felt a little better. Although he was still very weak, the dizziness in his head lessened considerably, and he soon fell into a deep sleep with a sense of peace.
Su Tang breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw him fall asleep again and his breathing became more even than before.
The heavy snow continued to fall for three days and three nights.
The entire mountain forest was covered with thick snow, turning it into a silver-clad world.
The snowstorm finally subsided by the evening of the third day.
Inside the cave, Qin Ye's fever finally subsided.
Although she is still physically weak, her spirits have improved significantly, and she can at least drink porridge in small sips by herself.
For the past three days, Su Tang has been taking care of him almost constantly, never leaving his side.
Feed him, give him water, bathe him, change his dressings...
Qin Ye's body temperature has completely returned to normal.
Su Tang brought warm water, wrung out a hot towel, and prepared to wipe his body.
"I...I can do it myself." Qin Ye was a little uncomfortable, and his voice was a bit hoarse.
