Chapter 190 Try to survive
Hearing the voice of Fox Assistant, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo put down their work to go and see, and sure enough, he woke up: "Fox Assistant, you are not dead yet. We are still in Yuli District, where we had the accident!"
"Miss Lu? Ji Yanmo?" Seeing that it was them, Fox Assistant breathed a sigh of relief. At least they did not fall into the hands of the survivors, otherwise they would probably become someone else's meal.
Lu Xingtang told the fox assistant to continue to rest and not to move around, because there was no medicine or food, only water, so he asked him to restrain himself and go find food after daybreak to keep them alive. The fox assistant's eyes were red: "Thank you!" This life was saved by them, and he would live well to repay their life-saving grace.
When it was completely dark, Su Cheng woke up. As soon as he woke up, he saw the pitch-black sky. There was not a single star in the night sky, and the moon had disappeared somewhere. The darkness surrounded him. Su Cheng was stunned: "Is this hell? It is as dark as I imagined. But, isn't it said that the moon seen by people after death is red? Why can't I see the moon?"
The fox assistant who was sleeping next to him laughed when he heard Su Cheng's words: "Base Commander, you are not dead, and we are not dead! We are lucky to be saved by Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang."
Then he told Su Cheng what Lu Xingtang and the others had said, saying that Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo were lucky and grabbed a tree root at the moment they fell. The two of them waited until the mudslide stopped and the landslide completely stopped, then they carefully used the power of the tree roots to slide down from the top of the mountain little by little. Then they looked for them everywhere, and after a long search, they finally found them on the low-speed road and pulled them back from the brink of death.
Two days have passed since Lu Xingtang found them, and Lu Xingtang has tried every possible way to treat their injuries.
It was not completely dark yet, and the fox assistant saw that Su Cheng and the loyal dog assistant were both wrapped in bamboo strips and hemp ropes.
At that time, he was so moved that he shed tears.
Su Cheng was also deeply moved. He owed a huge favor, which he could never repay in this lifetime.
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo did not sleep. After dark, they stopped building their bamboo house and instead cut a pile of weeds, spread them on the ground, and went to sleep first.
The sound of Su Cheng's voice woke the two of them up. Lu Xingtang put on night vision goggles and came to Su Cheng. "Su Cheng, give me your hand, I'll take your pulse!" Su Cheng vaguely saw a figure, but couldn't see the face clearly. When he heard Lu Xingtang's voice, he quickly raised his hand: "Where are you..." He just wanted to ask if Lu Xingtang was on his left or right so that he could pass his hand over, but the moment he raised his hand, Lu Xingtang grabbed his wrist:
"Be gentle, your hand is broken, you need to take good care of it!" Then he took their pulses and explained their physical conditions: "Until your injuries are fully healed, you have no choice but to stay here. If you are hungry or achy, just bear with it. After daybreak, A-Mo and I will go find some herbs to eat. We won't let you die."
Su Cheng and Fox Assistant: "Sorry to trouble you!"
"You two should get well soon. Once you're well, go find some good food and drinks to serve me!" Lu Xingtang put down Su Cheng's wrist: "If you need to go to the bathroom, remember to call me. Ah Mo is here!"
The next day, just after dawn, Ji Yanmo built the bamboo house and went to look for supplies. Lu Xingtang didn't dare to go far, so he picked up a lot of branches or roots brought down by landslides or mudslides nearby, moved them over, and placed them near Su Cheng and the others' beds, and started a fire after a while.
After daybreak, Lu Xingtang checked their bodies again and confirmed that they had recovered well, especially Su Cheng. Lu Xingtang was relieved, but the loyal assistant had not woken up yet. She especially wanted to send the loyal assistant to the space hospital for a thorough examination to see if there was any problem, but Su Cheng and the fox assistant were there.
Ji Yanmo brought back some wild vegetables, grass roots and tree bark, and also picked up a package covered in mud. Luckily, there were pots and pans in the package. There weren't many, not enough for the five of them to eat and drink, but it was enough if they took turns.
He boiled some wild vegetables, grass roots and tree bark and let Fox Assistant and Su Cheng eat some. After helping Su Cheng and Fox Assistant solve their physiological problems, Ji Yanmo went to look for supplies and asked Lu Xingtang to stay and take care of them. He also warned Su Cheng and Fox Assistant to try not to bother Lu Xingtang unless they were feeling unwell.
At noon that day, the loyal assistant woke up. He was awake, but very dull, as if he had lost his soul, like a rag doll.
Lu Xingtang knew that this was caused by cerebral congestion and that he had to be observed carefully and needed medication: "Assistant Fox, I'll be looking for medicine nearby. Remember to call me if you have any problems!" He wouldn't go too far.
The loyal assistant agreed. His condition was the mildest and he could already sit up. Su Cheng and the fox assistant could only lie down. He would definitely help if he could. Seeing Lu Xingtang looking for medicine everywhere, he immediately spoke to the loyal assistant with Su Cheng, asking him to regain consciousness and try his best to survive!
When Lu Xingtang came back from looking for medicine and saw this scene, he was very touched. He fiddled with the herbs silently and quietly took out some herbs from the space and added them in. He changed the medicine for Fox Assistant and Su Cheng. After changing the medicine, he continued to look for medicine. When he found it, he changed the medicine for Loyal Dog Assistant and added a crushed special medicine to make Loyal Dog Assistant get better sooner.
It was around five in the afternoon when Ji Yanmo came back from looking for supplies. He brought back a wild boar, a bundle of firewood, and a pile of wild vegetables. He immediately started a fire and slaughtered the wild boar with Lu Xingtang and roasted it. Without the right seasoning, it would not taste good if cooked.
Su Cheng and the other two did not ask Ji Yanmo where he had hunted the wild boar. They could tell with their toes that he had gone to a very far place.
Lu Xingtang cut the wild boar meat into small pieces and roasted it, adding a little salt. Su Cheng and the fox assistant could eat it by themselves, as long as it was roasted for them. But it was more troublesome for the loyal dog assistant, so Lu Xingtang chopped the pork into small pieces, cooked it until it was very soft, added wild vegetables and salt, and Ji Yanmo fed it to him.
This was the best meal they had had since they fled, and it warmed their stomachs.
Time passed little by little, and the injuries of Fox Assistant were almost healed. He could help Lu Xingtang take care of Su Cheng and Loyal Assistant, and occasionally help collect firewood or cook. Lu Xingtang would go to a farther place to find herbs for Su Cheng and Loyal Assistant to heal their injuries.
Under their care, Su Cheng got much better, but his bones didn't recover as quickly. However, Ji Yanmo always came back with prey, either a snake, a rabbit, or a wild boar. He never came back empty-handed. At worst, he would get a few bird eggs.
After Lu Xingtang frequently took out herbs from the space for Su Cheng and his loyal assistant, their bodies recovered quickly. By the end of July, Su Cheng could walk around with the help of a cane.
The loyal assistant can also get out of bed, but he is prone to dizziness. In the end, it is because his nutrition is not enough and his body is not recovering so quickly.
