When Lin Feng returned to the cave with half a bottle of pale yellow, seemingly insignificant liquid, Tang Bao's condition was already extremely critical.
Her breathing became even weaker, her face turned an unnatural bluish-gray, her body alternated between burning hot and freezing cold, and she had fallen into a deep coma.
"Mr. Lin Feng..."
When Qin Lan saw Lin Feng, it was as if she had grasped at the last straw, and her voice choked with emotion.
Lin Feng didn't say much, he just nodded and gestured for them to move aside.
He first carefully pried open Tangbao's tightly closed teeth with a sterilized thin wooden stick, and then used a small, equally sterilized wooden spoon to scoop up a little bit of pale yellow liquid and tried to feed it to her.
The liquid was bitter and had a strong musty smell.
Tang Bao instinctively tried to resist, but Lin Feng forcibly poured the medicine down her throat.
Lin Feng was very cautious when administering the medicine for the first time, using only a very small dose. He needed to observe Tang Bao's reaction, after all, this was the first time he had made and used this "miracle drug."
The next few hours were a suffocating wait.
The women surrounded Tang Bao, barely daring to breathe, watching her every move with bated breath.
The miracle didn't happen immediately. Tang Bao's condition didn't improve; in fact, it seemed to get worse at times.
Qin Lan's heart sank. Could it be... that Mr. Lin Feng's medicine was also ineffective?
Just when everyone was about to despair, Lin Feng gave Tang Bao the medicine a second time, with a slightly larger dose than the first time.
Several hours later, it was already getting light.
Suddenly, Su Wanqing, who was standing beside Tang Bao, let out a soft exclamation: "Look! Tang Bao... Tang Bao seems to be sweating!"
Everyone rushed over and saw that Tang Bao's previously dry and burning forehead was now covered with a fine layer of sweat! Her breathing was also more steady than before!
"Your body temperature...it seems to have gone down a little!"
Qian Xiaoxiao touched Tang Bao's forehead with trembling hands and exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Feng stepped forward and carefully examined Tang Bao's condition.
Her pulse was still weak, but stronger than before, and her skin temperature had indeed dropped.
Most importantly, although her breathing was still rapid, it was no longer as labored as before.
"The medicine is starting to take effect." Lin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his face remained calm.
Over the next two days, Lin Feng continued to feed Tang Bao his "crude penicillin solution" at fixed times, along with herbal water and easily digestible liquid food (he specially made rice porridge with golden fox rice, and added a small amount of minced meat and salt).
Under his guidance, the women took care of Tangbao tirelessly, without ever taking off their clothes.
They regularly wiped her body, changed her animal hides, and carefully fed her medicine and water.
Miracles were happening right before their eyes.
Tangbao's high fever subsided by the second day of medication.
On the third day, she woke up from a deep coma. Although she was very weak, she was able to recognize the people around her and speak softly.
When Tang Bao opened her eyes and saw Qin Lan, Su Wanqing and others surrounding her, and Lin Feng standing not far away with an indifferent expression, she blinked weakly, somewhat unable to believe that she was still alive.
"I...I'm still alive?" she asked in a voice barely above a mosquito's buzz.
"You're alive! Tang Bao, you're alive! Mr. Lin Feng saved you!"
Qin Lan excitedly grasped her hand, and tears streamed down her face again.
Tang Bao turned her gaze to Lin Feng, her small face, which looked particularly thin due to the high fever, revealing confusion, gratitude, and a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
She remembers feeling like she was about to die before she lost consciousness. The pain of being burned by fire and falling into an ice cave made her think she would never see the sun rise the next day.
It was Mr. Lin Feng... He pulled me back from the brink of death.
Over the next few days, Tangbao's body recovered at a visible rate.
The "miracle drug" and ample food provided by Lin Feng helped her quickly recover from her illness.
Her complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her eyes returned to their former brilliance, even showing a hint of... liveliness and awe.
When she was able to walk and tasted for the first time a small piece of roasted sweet potato cake "gifted" by Lin Feng, the sweet and soft taste made her feel that it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Her attitude towards Lin Feng also underwent a dramatic change.
Previously, her obedience to Lin Feng stemmed more from fear.
But now, that discontent has long since vanished, replaced by an almost blind worship and reverence.
In her eyes, Lin Feng was no longer just an ordinary "powerful man"; he was practically an omnipotent god! He could conjure delicious food and magical drinks out of thin air, and now, he could snatch life back from the clutches of death!
This ability was beyond the comprehension of her limited imagination.
One day, when Tang Bao had basically recovered and was able to walk to Lin Feng's wooden house on her own, she did something that surprised everyone.
She walked straight up to Lin Feng, then knelt down with a "plop" and respectfully kowtowed three times to him.
"Mr. Lin Feng, thank you for saving my life."
Tang Bao raised her head, her eyes clear and firm: "You gave me my life. From now on, I am willing to serve you, be your maid, and do anything for you, just to stay by your side."
Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was filled with sincerity and determination.
She no longer addressed Lin Feng as "Mr. Lin Feng," but instead used the formal "you" and referred to herself as "servant."
This is a complete and willing surrender.
The other women were stunned by what they saw.
They never expected that a serious illness would cause such a complete change in Tangbao.
Lin Feng looked at Tang Bao kneeling in front of him with a calm and unwavering gaze.
He wasn't particularly interested in the little girl's "surrender."
His focus wasn't on that at all.
He simply said, "I don't need maids. Now that you're better, go back to what you're supposed to be doing."
After saying that, he turned and went into the storage room. There, a row of pale yellow "crude penicillin solution" in specially made small glass bottles was neatly arranged on a wooden shelf.
These are the real "treasures" in his eyes right now!
He picked up a bottle, examined it closely against the light, and his face revealed an irrepressible excitement and satisfaction.
With antibiotics, he had another trump card in this dangerous wilderness!
He no longer has to worry about dying from infections caused by minor wounds.
This feeling of being in control of his own life, and even to some extent, of the life and death of others, fascinated him immensely.
As for Tang Bao... he was just a small experimental subject for him to verify the effects of the "miracle drug".
Her adoration and her submission meant nothing to him.
In the log cabin's storage room, after Golden Fox Rice, dried meat, sweet potatoes, spicy strips, and soda, a new precious reserve has been added—antibiotics.
Lin Feng knew that his wilderness survival journey was becoming more and more exciting because of the constant emergence of "knowledge" and the "miracles" he created with his own hands!
