Chapter 121 A Brother and a Sister
Xiaomu opened his eyes in surprise and saw another zombie. After looking carefully, he found that there were two people, a brother and a sister.
"Hey, little boy, what are you doing?" the older brother asked, "What happened to your mother?"
Big tears welled up in Xiaomu's dark eyes, and he choked and said, "My mother fainted, and my sister is missing."
A man and a woman hurried forward, turned Ye Li over, and checked his condition.
The elder brother said to Xiao Mu, "Your mother's wound got infected by the rain and she has a fever. Come back with us. I'll ask my mother to check on you. My mother is a doctor in the tribe."
"But..." Xiaomu was very hesitant. What if it was a bad guy?
At this time, the sister said, "Don't worry, we are not bad people. If your mother doesn't get treatment, she might die."
Xiao Mu quickly said, "Please, save my mother."
"Then come with us."
The older brother and sister helped Ye Li up and walked towards the tribe they were talking about.
"Little boy, what's your name?" the sister asked.
Xiao Mu answered obediently: "My name is Ye Mu, you can just call me Xiao Mu, my mother's name is Ye Li."
The older sister said, "My name is Li Ya, and this is my brother Li Zhi. We came out to look for herbs, and we didn't expect to run into you. Xiao Mu, how about you? What brought you here?"
Xiaomu told Li Ya everything he knew in fragments.
"Oh, so that's how it is," Li Ya said, "When I get back, I'll ask my mom if she can help you find your sister."
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, brother."
Soon, they arrived at Li Ya's home.
Li Ya's home is on a tree, a thick big tree. She built a tree house, which looks very sturdy.
"Mom, we're back!" Li Zhi shouted towards the tree.
Then the door of the tree house opened, and a middle-aged lady poked her head out and said with a smile, "Wait a moment."
A wooden ladder was lowered.
Li Zhi climbed up the ladder and climbed up to the tree house.
"Why did you bring back a woman and a child?" Li Zhi's mother couldn't help asking.
"Mom, I'll tell you later. Let me get them up first." Li Zhi found a bundle of ropes in the house and let the ropes down.
Li Ya pulled the rope and tied Ye Li up, then they worked together to pull Ye Li up to the tree house.
"Xiao Mu, you go first."
"Yeah," Xiaomu responded and started climbing the ladder, with Li Ya following closely behind him.
After they all went up to the tree house, Li Zhi put the ladder up again.
Seeing Xiaomu looking at him strangely, Li Zhi explained: "This is for safety. If bad people or bad guys come, it will be very troublesome."
Xiaomu nodded, not quite understanding.
Ye Li was put on the bed, and Li Ya and their mother treated Ye Li.
It was discovered that Ye Li's wound was inflamed.
She re-applied medicine and bandaged Ye Li's wound, then asked Li Ya to change Ye Li into dry clothes.
"Xiao Mu, come here and change your clothes," Li Zhi called Xiao Mu to his room. "I still have my childhood clothes. You should be able to wear them."
Li Zhi rummaged through boxes and drawers and finally found a patched piece of clothing.
"Here, here you go. Can you change your clothes by yourself?"
Xiaomu nodded: "I will."
"Then change your clothes and come out to warm yourself by the fire." Li Zhi said and walked out.
Xiaomu took off his clothes in the house and changed into clean clothes.
He picked up the wet clothes, walked out and asked Li Ya's mother, "Auntie, where can I wash clothes?"
