Chapter 785: Seeing the End at a Glance
Li Sikai wanted to refute, but he was speechless for a moment.
Faced with everyone's accusations, I can only bear it silently.
Xiong Jianwei couldn't stand it and yelled, "Damn it, we just found out that she died of the disease. Before that, we were the ones who had an accident and took care of her."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but once he did, the crowd went crazy.
"Oh my, he was just giving artificial respiration to the dead guy, maybe he has been infected with the plague."
"Hurry, hurry, stay away from them. Don't watch the fun and end up losing yourself."
"These people are really something. They knew there was a risk of infection, so they should have stayed away from the crowd. But why did they actually chat with us so closely? It's really incomprehensible."
"Hey, you'd better stop nagging. Watch out for someone beating you up. Look at that person's physique. I'm afraid he can knock you down with just one index finger."
"How can you say that? Am I that weak?"
"It's about the same, but not very strong anyway!"
"you!"
Xiong Jianwei listened to everyone's criticism and felt that all his good intentions had gone to waste. He felt extremely upset and regretted taking people to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms, and distill pure water.
Seeing that he was furious, Li Sikai came over and patted his arm to comfort him: "Alright, people with different ideals cannot work together. There is no need for us to bother with these weaklings and lose our reputation for nothing."
Xiong Jianwei's eyes turned red when he heard this.
To be honest, he was a little scared. He was afraid that people would say he was infected with the plague, so he was a little evasive when facing Li Sikai.
Li Sikai didn’t notice this, and turned to everyone and said, “We were negligent about what happened today, I’m sorry.
To avoid risks, please find your own food in the future. After all, we have all had close contact with plague patients, so don’t get infected by accident and bring trouble to everyone.”
As soon as Li Sikai said this, the person who was making sarcastic remarks and looking for trouble just now stopped talking.
Everyone looked at each other before realizing what mistake they had made.
"No, Captain Li, where can we find food without you?"
Li Sikai smiled apologetically: "If we search the places we have been to before, we will definitely find something. Our current physical condition is really not suitable for us to mix with everyone else."
Although the crowd was not happy, they knew that Li Sikai was telling the truth, so they nodded and went their separate ways.
After no one was around, Li Sikai went into the house and prepared to put Tong Xianbao and Yuan Ruoxi together. But he found the house in a mess, obviously someone had searched through it.
He was so angry that he laughed. That little girl was really crying thief and putting the blame on others!
But is it necessary to search? Can't you see the whole cabin at a glance?
I am really impressed by these selfish and greedy guys!
Li Sikai put the man on the bed and walked out. Seeing that Xiong Jianwei was not in good condition, he was ready to go over and comfort him. But the old Xiong just hid back and said, "Stay away from me. I might have the plague, too."
"Ha, Old Bear, you are kidding, right? Don't you think it's okay if you don't eat fish?"
Xiong Jianwei shook his head and said with red eyes: "That's just speculation. If it can be transmitted through droplets, won't you be in trouble?"
"No, Old Bear, why are you so sure that something will happen to you? Are you scared to the point of insanity by what they said?"
Geng Zhixing was joking without a care, but Li Sikai grabbed Xiong Jianwei and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Xiong Jianwei pulled back twice, but nothing happened.
Then he gave up and admitted, "Yes, I was scratched by glass, and the wound was soaked in dirty water. This plague is coming fiercely, I am afraid I can't hide. You all stay away from me."
When Geng Zhixing heard this, his eyes turned red: "Old Bear, are you kidding?"
"I'm about to die, who the hell is kidding you!"
"Brother Xiong, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe we will be fine. We have trained for so many years, so our resistance is not that bad." Sun Sainan smiled and comforted. But this smile was uglier than crying.
Li Sikai also felt bad and asked Xiong Jianwei: "So, this is why you pulled Geng Zhixing away and gave Tong Xianbao artificial respiration?"
Xiong Jianwei nodded, "Well, since I've been tricked, there's no need to harm other brothers. You all can go, Yuan Ruoxi and Tong Xianbao will be left with me to bury. As for the rest, let me fend for myself."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still brothers? We share the good times and the bad times. Even if you get sick, I will be there to take care of you!" said Geng Zhixing.
Sun Sainan also nodded: "We have been together day and night for many years. We have long been relatives closer than parents and brothers. How can we abandon each other just like that? Just hold on, brother, I am waiting to go back to Dijing with you for a drink!"
Xiong Jianwei smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "Okay, as long as you are here, I will never give up and will stand firm until the last moment of my life."
Seeing this, Li Sikai did not get sentimental. He turned around silently to get a basin of sea water, distilled pure water in the middle of the night, returned to the thatched hut, and washed Xiong Jianwei's wound in the dim light.
"Boss, don't waste the fresh water. Why don't you save it for the brothers to drink?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't deal with it properly, you will die from the infection even if you don't have the disease."
The corners of Xiong Jianwei's mouth curved up, he felt that with such brothers, he had no regrets in his life.
"Okay, you lean against the door frame and rest for a while, we'll go bury the two in the house."
"Well, be careful and try not to have direct contact."
"Know!"
Li Sikai, Sun Sainan and Geng Zhixing dug a hole nearby, put Yuan Ruoxi and Tong Xianbao in, bowed, and buried them.
"I hope you can be an upright, positive and friendly person in your next life. I hope you can have a wonderful life in your next life." Don't be like this life, where you started at the peak of your life but ended up at the bottom of society.
Li Sikai took the two of them to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms nearby and shot two birds before returning.
When we got back, we found that Xiong Jianwei had his eyes closed, his face flushed, and his consciousness was a little unclear.
Li Sikai was startled and rushed forward to pat him: "Wake up, don't fall asleep, Old Bear, hold on!"
Xiong Jianwei whimpered in confusion, his eyelids seemed to be glued shut and he couldn't open them.
"Hiss, it's so hot! It feels like it's as hot as Yuan Ruoxi's when she has a fever." Li Sikai said with a frown.
Sun Sainan and Geng Zhixing also looked at Xiong Jianwei with concern. They looked at each other and said, "Boss, let's get some sea water and distill it. We can use half of it to clean Old Xiong's body and use the other half to make soup for him. Even if he is really dying, we want him to die a clean death!"
Li Sikai was silent for a while before he said, "I have a secret that concerns my life and property. I don't know if I can tell you."
The two looked at each other and nodded: "Boss, if you want to tell us, we will definitely keep it a secret. If you don't want to tell us, don't force us. We are not the kind of people who are very curious."
