Chapter 63
Qiao Sheng and Li Mu were busy all day, and finally they fried a whole pot of meat stuffing into meatballs before dinner, which was full of oil smoke.
They prepared the ingredients for the stew and put them into the clay pot, stewing them slowly over low heat, and asked Li Mu to take a shower and change clothes first. Qiao Sheng cooked dinner first. He had already eaten three meals of glutinous rice, so this one had to be finished. He cut a halved pig's face and mixed it with cabbage heart and jellyfish. The main course was steamed buns, but there was no soup. Both clay pots were used to stew soup for Xu Ziyan. When
the dishes were ready, they were placed on the kang table in the warm room. After Li Mu changed his clothes, he asked him to watch the clay pot. There was not much work, just watching the fire and not poking it.
Qiao Sheng carried the hot water into the toilet, took a quick shower and washed his hair, and changed into clean clothes. The smell of oil smoke just now was too strong.
After coming out of the toilet, he went into the kitchen and saw that the two earthenware pots of soup were almost done. He added Panax notoginseng powder to both soups and poured them into the basin. Li Mu collected all the Panax notoginseng in the pots on the kang and sent them all to Fang Yueyi.
When the two were having dinner, Fang Yueyi's reply came and told them the whole picture of the incident. It was not an attack as Qiao Sheng thought, but a fight between the two sides.
According to Fang Yueyi's description, they encountered a natural disaster and landed on an island. They drifted to an island this morning. The people on the boat went to the island happily. They had a large number of people, and usually adopted a flat-push approach. Recently, the weather has been cold, and the storage of wooden boards has become particularly important. At the
beginning, it was fine. Everyone was busy cutting wood and nothing happened. After a while, someone found that there were many tree stumps in the forest. They all thought that it should be caused by the winter and the game island was not refreshed.
Pei Hong's idea was that since someone had come to the island to collect, they would not go too deep into the forest, and they would just cut more wood on the periphery. However, a few people in the team did not want to give up this good opportunity to go to the island, and still wanted to find out if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
Pei Hong usually does not force them to do so. After all, the situation on each ship is different. Some people may already be short of food and clothing, so it is normal to take risks and find more.
Unexpectedly, something happened this time. A pair of brothers, He Bai and He Yan, went into the woods with machetes. About half an hour later, He Bai ran out of the depths of the woods, shouting all the way, followed by a group of animals.
The rest of the team was scattered cutting down trees. Many people did not react when they heard the noise. When they noticed the group of animals, they saw the wild wolf had already pounced in front of them. Although everyone reacted quickly after being attacked and started to fight back, the damage had already been done.
The battle was very intense at that time. After the battle, the wounded were urgently transferred. Soon, they found that the medicines they usually stored were not enough. They were all anxious. All the wounded were gathered on Pei Hong's boat. Zheng Hai was about to die.
Fang Yueyi suddenly saw the little black bear lying in the den. She remembered the medicine that Qiao Sheng used to treat the cassock cub before, so she tried to send an email to ask if there was any more medicine. They
didn't expect Qiao Sheng to give them so many kinds of medicines. They used them according to Qiao Sheng's instructions. For minor injuries, they took them orally and applied Panax notoginseng powder externally. For serious injuries, they took chondroitin and applied Panax notoginseng powder. The artificial skin film was very useful. As long as the wound was not too big, it would stop bleeding immediately after it was applied.
Zheng Hai was able to survive thanks to these three things. The ginseng chicken soup and pork liver soup that Qiao Sheng had just sent were also shared with everyone. Xu Ziyan was not seriously injured, but he drank the most. In his own words, this was all made by Qiao Meier because she was thinking of him. He was kind enough to share it with other team members.
"I heard that He Yan is gone, and the others are injured to varying degrees. Fortunately, Yue Yi is quick-witted, otherwise Zheng Hai would be gone, and I don't know what to do with Zheng Xi. But why does the island she talked about feel a little familiar?" Qiao Sheng felt much more relieved after reading her letter to report that she was safe, and even his appetite improved a lot. He really couldn't eat just now.
"It should be the island we just left. Pei Hong also sent me an email. The number of wolves is almost the same. He also gave me a general description of the situation on the island. I told him that we just left the island two days ago and the wolves were not to be trifled with. I didn't expect them to follow us onto the island. I will remind him if there is danger on the island in the future." Li Mu sighed. Pei Hong and his friends were too unlucky. They could encounter such a thing.
Before going to bed, Qiao Sheng asked Li Mu to remove the small kang table and put in a few planting pots, all planted with Panax notoginseng. Today, a whole glass bottle of Panax notoginseng powder was given out. The stock in the storage room was running low, and she always felt uneasy and had to replenish it. After the thrilling experience of Pei Hong's fleet, two or three bottles of this kind of therapeutic medicine must be stored on the ship to feel at ease.
This was because they had no choice but to drift on the sea, and the sea was a bit cold, otherwise she would have to hunt a few more sharks, and chondroitin, cod liver oil and other things must be prepared.
She even suggested to Li Mu that if they could get going in the spring, they must find a way to kill sharks.
When Qiao Sheng woke up, she was still a little confused. Usually, there was a table in the middle. When she turned over and stretched out her hand, her hand was directly stuck in the soil pot, and she woke up immediately.
Li Mu heard her sigh and thought something happened. He opened his eyes and saw her staring at the soil on her hand in a daze.
"In the future, you should not put this kind of plant pot on the kang when you sleep. Your hand is stuck in the pot. If you suddenly turn over, your head may hit it. Pull your hand out and see if it is broken." Li Mu muttered and reached out to grab her hand stuck in the plant pot, patted the soil on it, and put it down to make sure there was no problem. He put on his clothes and moved the plant pot out.
Qiao Sheng took a while to get up and put on his clothes. After washing up, he saw Li Mu cooking cornmeal porridge in the kitchen. He cooked these two kinds of porridge every day for breakfast. When he squeezed into the kitchen, he saw that he had already put corn in the pot to cook. In the case of lack of ingredients, he knew to cook it differently every day, which was pretty good.
There was no leftovers last night, so Qiao Sheng soaked radish in hot water, mixed some spicy radish, and cut the pickled mustard into strips.
After breakfast, the two of them went downstairs with the brazier, lifted a few floating boards downstairs and began to use the colander to collect supplies. At noon, Qiao Sheng cooked a big pot of ginseng chicken soup, added Panax notoginseng powder and sent it to Fang Yueyi. The reply he received should be in the tone of Xu Ziyan.
He told Qiao Sheng not to add Panax notoginseng powder, it was too bitter. Ginseng chicken soup originally had a taste of Chinese medicinal materials, and the taste of Panax notoginseng powder was hard to describe. Yesterday, he was still injured and didn't think about anything when he drank it. Today, Fang Yueyi forced him to drink this bowl of soup.
Qiao Sheng made spicy rabbit meat and spicy rabbit head at noon. After it was done, he asked Li Mu to send half of it to Lin Haiyang. After all, it was the fruit of his labor.
Sitting on the kang and eating lunch, they felt that the boat had hit something. The two of them quickly put on their cotton clothes and went out to check. Qiao Sheng wanted to curse when he saw the island so close. What's wrong with this system? Is it so lazy now? It has already reminded in advance? Qiao Sheng
shouted at the system, wanting to ask what was going on. Li Mu stood on the terrace and looked at the island in front of her. The island was very small, with only a few strange-shaped stones on it.
The system ignored her from beginning to end. Seeing that it was hopeless to call her, Qiao Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to this unreliable system that appeared and disappeared at will, and looked at the island with Li Mu.
"Qiao Sheng, something is not right. Look at those stones on the shore. Is there something moving in the gaps between them?" Li Mu asked uncertainly.
"It seems so. I feel like it's not a stone. Could it be a living creature?" Qiao Sheng stretched his neck and tried to look into the distance.
The two of them went down the stairs of the terrace to the bow. The first floor of the cabin was very lively. The bolts kept creaking, and the sound of the monks rubbing against the wooden boards was also very clear.
Li Mu reached out to touch the island through the guardrail of the bow. He rubbed it with his fingertips, then immediately stood up, pulled Qiao Sheng's arm into the cabin, took out the wooden board and asked her to follow him to draw.
Qiao Sheng was confused at this time. What was going on, but she still obediently took the board and followed him to draw.
Before Li Mu could explain, the boat was lifted up. They were in the boat and could not see what was happening. They only knew that the boat was rolling. He immediately reached out and hugged Qiao Sheng beside him, and covered the lifted floating board.
Qiao Sheng recalled that the rolling state was almost like being put into a can, covered with a lid and shaken vigorously. The animals in the livestock area on the first floor were thrown out of their nests, tied up by the neck, and the whole duck was thrown away and strangled by the rope. It couldn't quack for a long time afterwards. Qiao Sheng even suspected that it had damaged its vocal cords.
The plastic water basin in the duck nest was completely overturned, and the whole basin of water poured onto the face of the monk-sleeved baby who was thrown out of the nest. The water had not been changed for several days, and there was a lot of duck feces in it. Now it was all stuck to the
monk-sleeved baby, and its originally black fur was now very mottled. The three chickens and the rabbits in the rabbit nest had been thrown all over the place. The older rabbits were fine, but those who were born not long ago were in a terrible state. Qiao Sheng saw one rabbit that had been flattened against the wooden wall.
Qiao Sheng felt that this dizziness lasted for more than ten minutes. After the wind and waves calmed down, they sat on the floating board to catch their breath. After coming out of Li Mu's arms, she saw that he had hit his head somewhere, with a long cut, and blood was flowing down his eyebrows and feet.
With a cry, Qiao Sheng stood up and prepared to go into the storage room to find medicine. The boxes and cabinets inside also fell from their original positions. There was even a box stuck behind the wooden door of the storage room. She stood at the door and pushed it for a long time but couldn't open it. Once she got on top, she directly removed the door.
After searching for a long time in the messy storage room, she finally found the box of medicines, but it was pressed at the bottom. She had to lift up the boxes on top and throw them out, repeating this many times before she finally got the box out. She was sweating
all over and walked to Li Mu with the box in her hand. He actually smiled at her. At that moment, Qiao Sheng wanted to throw the storage box in her hand at the other side of his head, which would also make a bloody hole, just symmetrical!
"You're still laughing. It doesn't hurt anymore, right?" Qiao Sheng took out cod liver oil, Panax notoginseng powder and artificial skin film from the storage box, first sprinkled a thick layer of Panax notoginseng powder on the bloody hole on his head, then stuck the skin film on him, and finally held the bowl of cod liver oil to his mouth and asked him to drink.
