"I've already set your bones. Don't do any heavy work these next two days, and be careful when you walk, sit, or lie down to avoid touching the wound."
There was no medicine available; Lin Xue simply performed a basic examination and then provided treatment.
Fortunately, the other person's ribs were not actually broken; they were just injured and should be able to recover with proper care.
"Now can you tell me about that ancient ruin?"
Seeing that she had already treated the other person, Ellie sat down and inquired about the situation of the ancient ruins.
"As long as you don't abandon me, I will naturally lead you to the location of the ancient ruins!"
The man didn't want to reveal the location of the ancient ruins so soon, after all, he had almost lost his life because of this information.
"Tell us, we won't abandon you!"
"Just give us a general address. We've traveled all over the country, covering almost the entire Southern Hemisphere several times. Whether there are ancient ruins here or not, you can't fool us!"
Ai Qing took out the map he had drawn and began to study it carefully.
He couldn't see where ancient ruins might exist, and besides, the world's landscape can change at any time, so even maps aren't always completely accurate.
Take the earthquake a while ago, for example; it was a major weapon that could change the topography and landform!
"All right!"
"You promised you wouldn't leave me behind, you had to keep taking me all the way to the ancient ruins!"
After assessing the disparity in their strength, the man ultimately chose to compromise.
"The ancient ruins are located in Lishan, north of Yuncheng!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Ai Qing quickly found the location of Mount Li.
"This place has a very complex terrain and is mountainous, so there must be a lot of mutated plants here!"
Ai Qing's finger landed on a spot, and everyone gathered around to take a look, but they couldn't see anything.
This is a map made up of lines. You can barely make out that the place he's pointing to is a mountain, but you can't make out anything more.
The group studied it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a result.
In the end, we decided to wait until we arrived in Yuncheng before deciding whether or not to go to Lishan.
"Alright everyone, take a rest. We have to set off again early tomorrow morning!"
No one knows when the gale will come, but we can't stop on our journey just because the gale is there.
In the short time that everyone was talking, a strong wind suddenly picked up outside, and a lot of things were blown onto the felt cloth they had hung at the entrance of the cave.
"I wonder how much supplies will be blown in this time. Although the gale is annoying, it brings quite a few benefits!"
Judging from the marks left by the pattering of the felt cloth, one could vaguely see that a lot of things had been piled up at the entrance of the cave.
"Boss, you guys go and rest first. With the three of us keeping watch, we'll go collect supplies once the wind stops!"
The eldest brother felt the wind outside and sensed that this gale wouldn't travel too fast.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble the three of you!"
Everyone sorted out their supplies again and then repackaged and redistributed the items they had collected that day.
Finally, they gathered their belongings and began to rest.
Only the three of them, including the eldest, watched the felt cloth being torn apart and made to rustle, remaining on guard at all times.
"Big brother, it seems the wind has stopped!"
"And the temperature outside doesn't seem very high!"
The second child stuck his hand out through the gap in the felt cloth and found that there was no strong wind or high temperature.
"Let's open a corner and go out to take a look, hoping to collect as many supplies as possible!"
The eldest brother lifted a corner of the felt cloth and then stuck his head out.
The cave entrance had been partially buried. The three of them quickly cleared the entrance and then collected all the nearby branches, fruits, and mutated low-toxic vegetables.
After moving the things into the cave, they found that Lin Xue had already woken up.
"Boss, did the three of us make too much noise and disturb you?"
The eldest brother piled up the collected items to one side, then looked at Lin Xue and asked in a low voice.
"No, how's it outside?"
Lin Xue was very concerned about the situation outside, but it seemed that the gale had stopped.
"The strong winds have stopped. Are we still going to travel tonight?"
Due to the disturbance caused by strong winds, the temperature has not been as stable as before.
For example, right now, even though it's still afternoon, the temperature isn't high.
"Let everyone rest for a day, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow morning!"
Lin Xue left the cave and looked around at the situation outside.
"System, when will the gale return?"
This gale is really hard to predict; it comes without warning and goes just as inexplicably.
Is it only possible to determine its origin and destination based on the survivors' arthritis?
"Host, this system cannot detect you!"
This thing is completely unpredictable and there are no warning signs. Even 629 can't do anything about it.
That night
The strong winds came and went, went and came again.
They went back and forth several times, and luckily they didn't go out in the afternoon, otherwise they probably would have encountered the strong wind again before they got very far.
When everyone set off again, it was two days later, much later than expected.
"Old Mo, we're almost at Yuncheng. Are you going to stay with our group or go on your own?"
After this period of adjustment, Lao Mo has become very familiar with the team members.
"Of course I'll stick with the group! If I were to go off alone, I probably wouldn't get very far!"
After spending some time with the team, Lao Mo is reluctant to leave.
He had been involved in many teams, both large and small, and knew what other teams were like, which is why he cherished this encounter all the more.
"Haha, I knew you'd choose that!"
Zhang Feng walked over and patted Lao Mo on the shoulder. Although this guy was sometimes a bit glib, he was quite skilled.
Since he arrived, Sister Xue has been able to take a break occasionally.
This is definitely a good thing for the team.
"Have you noticed? The closer you get to Cloud City, the more survivors you'll find along the way."
Yu Yang looked at the waves of survivors not far away. Could it be that, besides them, there were others who also knew about the ancient ruins?
"I'm not the only one who knows about the ancient ruins; many other people do too, so it's quite normal for this news to leak out!"
When Lao Mo saw Yu Yang asking this question, he offered an explanation.
He had heard this news from someone else, and he was even chased for thirty miles in order to eavesdrop on it.
He almost died of exhaustion on the way. If a gust of wind hadn't blown him away, he might be lying dead in the wilderness by now!
This is probably what people mean when they say curiosity killed the cat.
People really shouldn't be too curious. If you see a few people talking furtively, you shouldn't just go over and eavesdrop.
It's possible that just hearing this could cost you half your life.
