Chapter 118 Poor Little White, almost all its fur is gone.
Little White was soaking in the stream. The places where it had been splashed by the venom of the poisonous spider were now matted with fluffy white hairs, and in some places, there were even bald patches, revealing the pink skin underneath.
It submerged its head in the water and frantically scratched at its body with its claws, trying to wash away the corrosive liquid clinging to its fur.
"Xiaobai, wash slowly, don't rub too hard or it will hurt." Yuanyuan stood by the stream, looking worriedly at Xiaobai in the water.
"Should I go downstairs and help you wash?"
But after taking only two steps forward, Chen Youwei reached out and stopped him.
"Yuanyuan, don't go over there. There might still be venom residue in the water."
"Xiaobai can clean herself up. Let's stand here and wait. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt."
Zhang Cheng also walked over, looked down at the little white dog in the stream, and frowned, "This poison is too strong. Look at the little white dog's fur, it's been burned beyond recognition."
Fortunately, it reacted quickly and wasn't splashed directly into its eyes or vital areas by the venom.
Xiao Bai stood up from the water, shook off the water droplets, and the bald wounds became even more visible.
Yuanyuan's eyes reddened, "Waaah... Little White is so pitiful, all its fur has fallen out..."
She sniffed and took out a small porcelain bottle from her spatial storage. "Xiaobai, come here quickly, I'll apply some medicine for you."
Little White responded and walked out of the stream, shaking off the water. Its already messy fur looked even more disheveled.
When it looked up and saw Yuanyuan's red eyes, it immediately ran over and rubbed its head against Yuanyuan's palm.
"I'm fine, I'm not in pain."
"You still say it doesn't hurt? Look, you're shaking."
Yuanyuan put the medicine aside, then took out two clean towels from her space and carefully dried the water off the animal.
Su Xue stepped forward to help her wipe it.
The little white cat's fur was too thick to dry easily, so Yuanyuan stopped when she saw that it was no longer dripping water.
"I'll put some medicine on you, and it won't hurt anymore once I put it on."
Xiao Bai nodded.
She first disinfected the area with iodine, then used a cotton swab to apply a little ointment to the bald patches on Xiaobai's skin.
The ointment felt cool, and when it touched the wound, Xiaobai couldn't help but tremble slightly, its paws instinctively trying to pull back.
"Be good, just bear with it, it'll be over soon." Yuanyuan gently stroked Xiaobai's uninjured rabbit head with her other hand. "It'll be fine after the medicine is applied."
Little White stopped struggling and obediently lay on the ground, its eyes slowly narrowing. It would only twitch its ears occasionally when its wounds ached a little.
After treating the wound, Zhang Cheng looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. We need to find a place to pitch our tents and rest nearby tonight. Xiao Bai can't continue searching in his current condition."
Chen Youwei nodded in agreement and looked around. "There seems to be a forest not far ahead. There should be a flat area inside. Let's go over there and find a place to pitch our tent."
None of them had any objections.
Yuanyuan stroked Xiaobai's head and asked, "Xiaobai, can you turn back into your old, tiny self?"
She can't carry it because it's so big.
Little White nodded and turned into a red rabbit about the same size as the little wolf.
Yuanyuan stood up, holding Xiaobai, and followed behind Zhang Cheng, with Xiaolang, Xiaoshe, and Yu Na following behind.
Little White's fur was now half-dry and half-wet, sticking to his body, making him look a bit disheveled, but he was in much better spirits than before.
Walking into the woods, we found a flat clearing with several large trees nearby, which provided shelter from the wind and made it perfect for setting up a tent.
Zhang Cheng put down his backpack and began to take the tent that Yuanyuan had taken out and set it up.
Yuanyuan sat on a fallen log with Xiaobai in her arms, watching Uncle Zhang set up the tent, Aunt Su went to collect firewood nearby, and Uncle Chen checked the surrounding environment to check for dangers.
It was only afternoon, the hottest time of the day.
"Su Xue, when you're gathering firewood, don't go deep into the woods. Just look around nearby and watch out for the grass under your feet."
"Know."
Su Xue's voice came from the bushes, though her figure could not be seen, "There are plenty of dry branches here, enough for us to use."
Chen Youwei, holding a military longsword, circled around a short distance away, checking for any potential dangers.
He examined everything very carefully, checking the bushes, the trees, and even the animal footprints on the ground.
"The east and north sides are fine, but the west side is overgrown with grass. I'll go check it out."
He called out to Zhang Cheng and started walking west.
Yuanyuan sat on the dead tree, her bottom felt a little numb, so she stood up, rubbed her bottom, and stomped her feet.
I feel something poking my foot, like there's something on the sole of my shoe. I'm going to take my shoes off to check.
My gaze inadvertently fell on the withered tree where I had just been sitting.
There seems to be something near the base of the tree trunk.
Upon closer inspection, their eyes lit up.
The thing had a slippery surface, was entirely purple, and had slightly curled edges.
It was actually a Ganoderma lucidum?
"Uncle Zhang, come quick!" Yuanyuan couldn't contain her excitement and called out to Zhang Cheng, who had just set up his tent not far away. "I found something good on this dead tree!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng, who was about to go in and lay out the mat, stopped what he was doing and strode over:
"What's wrong, Yuanyuan? Did you find something?"
Su Xue happened to be carrying a large bundle of dry branches when she walked over and looked in the direction Yuan Yuan pointed.
"What is this? It looks like a Ganoderma lucidum, and the color is quite unique."
After checking the bushes to the west, Chen Youwei walked over with a knife in his hand. "What is it that surprises you so much?"
"It looks like a wild purple Ganoderma lucidum? But the color is a bit unusual."
Yuanyuan gently touched the purple Ganoderma lucidum with her finger. "The system says this is a purple Ganoderma lucidum, and this one is a hundred years old."
"A hundred...a hundred years?"
"Isn't a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum a legend? How could there really be a Ganoderma lucidum that long?"
Chen Youwei squatted down and carefully examined the purple Ganoderma.
This taste is definitely from Ganoderma lucidum.
"The system should be right. I'll dig him out first. Yuanyuan, get the collection bag ready."
"good."
Zhang Cheng gently held the stem of the purple Ganoderma lucidum with his left hand, and with his right hand holding a small knife, he slowly cut along the root.
The blade was very sharp, and it didn't take much effort to cut the entire purple Ganoderma lucidum off intact.
"Wow, I didn't expect it to be this big." Yuanyuan held it in her hand to compare.
"Yuanyuan, this Ganoderma lucidum is bigger than your face."
The group looked more closely at the dead tree and found a small patch of even smaller purple Ganoderma lucidum growing on the other side, about the size of Yuanyuan's palm, some even only the size of a thumb.
"There are still a few small ones left. Pick them all and take them back to the forestry bureau to see if they can be planted."
"Okay, just remember to dig out the bark too."
They didn't dig it all up; they left a few small ones.
"Yuanyuan, take Xiaobai and go into the tent to rest for a while, it's cool inside."
Zhang Cheng packed up the Ganoderma lucidum and handed it to Yuanyuan, asking her to store it in her spatial storage. He then went over and tidied up the tent.
"good."
"I cleared the area, so it's safe to light a fire at night and less likely to attract wild animals."
After Chen Youwei finished speaking, he walked to the side of the tent, used a long knife to clear a circle around it, and cut down the weeds and low branches.
Yuanyuan carried Xiaobai into the tent. Inside, there was a moisture-proof mat and a small fan, which made it much cooler.
She placed Little White on the mat and let it lie down. Then she took out a bottle of water from her storage space, poured a bowl of water in front of it, and let it drink by itself.
Of course, he didn't forget to pour water for the little snake and the little wolf.
