Chapter 143 Survival



After relaxing, the young master's stomach began to growl.

The young master touched his belly and said softly, "Don't cry, there's nothing to eat even if you cry."

His dejected look was also very cute. He reluctantly boiled some hot water, drank some, and then the young master snuggled up to Han Xiao and fell asleep.

He really had no strength left, and he didn't know whether Han Xiao would wake up tomorrow, so he had to stay in good spirits.

The young master fell asleep to the stench of wormwood and the chirping of insects in the mountains. Another advantage of this place is that there are no mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes in the mountains are very poisonous. One bite will leave you with bruises all over your body. But there are no mosquitoes here, so the young master had a good sleep.

When it was dawn, the young master woke up, turned over with difficulty, and felt the familiar temperature. Only then did his brain start to work.

He quickly sat up and covered Han Xiao's forehead. The temperature was not as high as yesterday, but there was no sign that he hadn't woken up yet.

Looking at Han Xiao's chapped lips, the young master got up and went outside to get some water to boil.

Then he moistened Han Xiao's lips. Looking at Han Xiao's still pale face, the young master's tears fell on Han Xiao's face.

After crying for a while and feeling that his emotions had been vented, the young master rubbed his eyes and continued to look for herbs for Han Xiao and some food. He hadn't eaten for almost a day.

I miss the meals at home very much, but unfortunately I can’t eat them for the time being. I don’t know how the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month will be, and Cui’er too.

She is a little girl and is in the most dangerous situation. I wonder if she is still alive?

The young master was lost in thought as he walked, and his current situation didn't seem to be getting any better.

Without thinking too much, the young master began to concentrate on looking for fruits and herbs.

The young master was lucky today and found a lot of wild fruits. Some of them had been gnawed by birds and beasts, so they should be edible. The young master carefully picked a few and put them in his arms. These would be their food for the next few days.

Herbs were also much easier to find than yesterday, and the young master soon collected a large pile of them. The ones that stopped bleeding and reduced fever were relatively common.

He even asked the young master to find a Panax notoginseng. You know, Panax notoginseng is much more useful than the one he had yesterday.

The young master went back excitedly and prepared to change the herbs on Han Xiao's body.

Sure enough, after cleaning again, most of Han Xiao's wounds had scabbed over, except for the most serious one on his shoulder, which was still a little white.

The young master crushed the Panax notoginseng and put it on Han Xiao's shoulders. He then tore open his clean underwear, boiled it in boiling water and dried it before bandaging Han Xiao.

After finishing the work, the young master's stomach started growling again, so he crushed the fruit and fed it into Han Xiao's mouth bit by bit.

Seeing Han Xiao still unconscious, the young master touched Han Xiao's handsome face, hugged Han Xiao and whispered in a tearful voice: "Husband, please wake up soon, Ruanruan is so scared."

Unfortunately, Han Xiao was still in a coma and could not give him any feedback. He just lay there quietly.

The young master cried for a while, then cheered himself up and ate some fruits to fill his stomach. He still had to go out to look for someone. A whole night had passed, and he didn't know what the situation was outside.

For the sake of his own and Han Xiao's safety, the young master did not plan to look for anyone, but the most important thing at the moment was to find something edible first. Fruits could only barely guarantee his daily intake, but it was still too difficult to fill his stomach.

Han Xiao's injuries also need to be treated as soon as possible. Although the young master has found herbs that can stop bleeding, the danger is still great if the fever problem is not resolved quickly.

The young master had to try his best to recall some of the things Chuyi had told him, but it had been too long and he had never listened carefully, so he could only barely prevent Han Xiao's injuries from worsening.

But so far Han Xiao showed no signs of waking up, and the young master was becoming more and more anxious.

He held Han Xiao in his arms and slept for a while to get enough rest. When he woke up, it was already afternoon. Looking at the sun outside, the young master estimated that if he went out to find something to eat now, he should be able to come back before evening.

After taking a look at Han Xiao's injuries, there was no change in the wound. He still had a low fever. The young master didn't know whether this was normal or not.

I could only get some water to wipe Han Xiao's body. After all the busy work, the sun outside was about to set.

The young master didn't dare to delay any longer, and left a few words before he mustered up the courage to walk outside. He knew where the fruits were, so if he hurried, there should be no problem.

The young master knew very well that it was very dangerous in the mountains at night, so he had to return to the cave before night fell.

The shoes on his feet had been worn out, revealing his white and tender toes. The young master had no choice but to run forward with all his might.

The only sound in the dense forest was the young master's rapid breathing.

Finally, the young master found the fruit tree, but the fruits had almost all been picked, with only a few left on the top.

The young master looked up at the height of the fruit tree and hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to climb trees, so what should he do?

But if he didn't climb the tree, there would be nothing to eat. The young master walked around under the tree and kicked the fruit tree angrily.

As a result, the shoes whose toes were already exposed were completely ruined. The young master picked them up with great pain and held them in his hands, wanting to cry.

After hesitating for a while and seeing that it was getting darker, the young master gritted his teeth, hugged the fruit tree and tried to climb up.

However, the trunk of the fruit tree was smooth and there was no foothold. The young master climbed up a few centimeters with great difficulty and then slipped down again.

This went on for several times, and the young master was so angry that tears came to his eyes. Woo woo woo, why did even the fruit trees bully him?

After wiping away tears for a while, the young master rubbed his eyes and continued to fight with the fruit tree.

But this time he learned his lesson. The young master put some dead branches under the tree so that he could climb up by stepping on them.

Then he grabbed the branches of the fruit tree and barely climbed to the middle part. He looked at the height of the fruit and realized he needed to climb higher.

The young master hugged the tree trunk carefully, took a look down and began to swallow his saliva. He was so amazing that he could climb so high!

Then he stood up shakily and continued to climb up by grabbing the branches above.

Finally, the young master caught the fruits. This time he picked all of them, leaving only a few at the top of the tree which were out of reach. The young master looked at those fruits with regret.

It’s a pity that the fruits above can only last him a few days. However, the young master is not greedy. He throws all the fruits he just picked under the tree so that he can pick them up later.
