She got a large basin from the warehouse, filled it with spiritual spring water, and placed Xiaoye in it. However, the spiritual spring water that used to heal wounds quickly seemed to be ineffective now. Xiaoye's wounds did not change at all. Could it be that the spiritual spring water was really ineffective? She quickly lay on the stone platform, scooped up a handful of spiritual spring water and drank it. Soon, the familiar warm current began to surge from her dantian.
The spiritual spring water was fine, so the problem was Xiaoye! Could it be that Xiaoye really could not be saved? No, she didn't believe it. This space was so magical, how could it be impossible to save a wounded child? She looked at the lifeless Xiaoye in the large basin and was anxious. What should she do? What should she do?
Suddenly, her eyes swept over the mysterious plant on the stone wall of the cave. She had never seen the plants that appeared with the cave after the space was upgraded, but the things that can grow here must be extraordinary. This place is full of the breath of spiritual springs. Every time she comes here, she feels refreshed, and even her soul seems to have been cleansed. These plants that have been growing here must be extraordinary.
She picked a few red fruits from the small tree and squatted beside Xiaoye. She was a little undecided. She didn't know what the fruit was. What if Xiaoye was in danger after eating it? But looking at Xiaoye's current situation, he was only one breath away from death. If he delayed a little longer, she wouldn't have to worry about the effect of this fruit. Forget it, let's try it out. It's going to be death anyway. Is there any worse result than this? She took a gamble, what if she won?
Li Xue lifted Xiaoye's chin, pried open his mouth, stuffed the fruit into his mouth, and prepared to crush the fruit. But as soon as the fruit entered Xiaoye's mouth, it turned into red juice and slid down his throat to his stomach. Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. It seemed that this fruit was indeed extraordinary. Maybe Xiaoye could really survive.
What followed was a long wait. Li Xue stayed by the big basin. Xiaoye's condition did not improve significantly, but it did not continue to deteriorate. Li Xue was relieved to see that the situation was stable. It was the best case scenario if it did not continue to get worse. She picked a few more fruits to feed Xiaoye, and patted her legs that were numb from squatting. Then she remembered that she should go out.
Her sudden disappearance must have scared Haohao enough. And how should she explain to Xiangdong?
She patted her forehead. If she couldn't think of it, she would stop thinking about it. If she really couldn't, she would tell the truth. These days, she was sure that Xiangdong was a trustworthy partner. Now that she was sure that Xiangdong was reliable, she didn't want to hide it anymore. After what happened today, she would never dare to leave the two children behind casually. Today, she and Xiangdong rushed back in time. If they were a few minutes later, she didn't even dare to think about the consequences. She decided that when she went to collect supplies in the future, she would put the two little ones in the space. Only there was the safest place.
Having made up her mind, Li Xue came out of the space calmly. But surprisingly, Xiangdong was not there, Haohao was not there either, and even the bed sheet stained with Xiaoye's blood was gone. She was a little anxious. Although Xiangdong would definitely protect Haohao, she was really scared after what happened today.
"Xiangdong, Haohao!" Li Xue shouted around.
"Mom, we are here." Haohao's voice came from downstairs.
Li Xue quickly ran to the escalator and looked down. The light in the supermarket was very dim. It was already pitch black outside, and it was pitch dark in the supermarket. With her extraordinary vision, she saw Xiangdong holding Haohao in one hand and holding some food in the other, walking towards the stairs. She was relieved.
Xiangdong carried Haohao back to the third floor, handed Haohao and the food to Li Xue, then turned around and went downstairs again: "I'll go to the second floor to see if there is a flashlight or something like that. It's too dark here. You and Haohao should eat something first." Xiangdong said as he walked downstairs.
Li Xue's prepared words were blocked, but she didn't care. She carried Haohao back to the place where they were tasting the bed.
Haohao sat in Li Xue's arms and concentrated on eating the chocolate cookie in his hand. He didn't ask Li Xue where she went or where Xiaoye was. Li Xue was a little puzzled. Is this child really not curious at all? As an adult, she would be extremely curious when encountering such a bizarre thing. Could this child be scared silly?
She pulled Haohao's little body over, looked at him nervously, and touched him everywhere, fearing that there was something wrong with the child. Haohao felt a little itchy when she touched him, and he twisted his body and giggled: "Haha, mommy, please don't touch me, it's so itchy."
Li Xue saw him smiling and twisting to avoid her hands, so she hugged him tightly in her arms, with such strength that her hands were shaking slightly. She almost lost him today!
Haohao felt that his mother was a little excited, so he lay in his mother's arms obediently. Although it hurt a little, he didn't say a word. He was almost scared to death today, especially after his mother and brother Xiaoye disappeared, he was so scared that he cried non-stop. Lying in his mother's arms, he felt so safe.
Li Xue took a long time to calm down. She asked Haohao curiously, "Haohao, why don't you ask where Brother Xiaoye went?"
Who knew that Haohao covered her mouth with his hand, raised a short finger with his other hand and put it in front of his mouth, "Huh?" He said, "Mom, don't say anything. Uncle Xiangdong told me to pretend that I didn't see anything. I can't let others know Mom's secret." He looked around secretly, turned his head and whispered in Li Xue's ear, "Uncle Xiangdong said that Mom must have a way to save Brother Xiaoye, but this method can't be known to others, otherwise Mom will be in danger!"
Li Xue was very grateful to Xiangdong after hearing what Haohao said. Unexpectedly, not only did he not question her, but he also told Haohao not to reveal the secret. After the hardships in her previous life, Li Xue had seen too many betrayals and sellouts. In the end times, there is no family affection, no friendship, only interests and the chance to survive. Now such a stranger is guarding her secret so much, she is really moved.
Xiangdong came back with a few flashlights. He looked at Li Xue with gratitude and said nothing. He took out a half-filled mineral water bottle from under the bed and handed it to Li Xue: "Keep this thing well in the future, don't take it out casually."
That was the bottle of spiritual spring water that was given to Xiaoye before! Li Xue took the bottle: "You... know?" She asked without a clear beginning or an end.
Xiangdong nodded, stretched out his right hand, and pointed to the back of his hand with his left hand: "This is where the zombie dog scratched me." The injured area was intact. "When I was cleaning up the bottles, the water accidentally spilled on the wound... The wound on my back healed this way too!"
