Chapter 87
Qi Ye ate breakfast in his own cave. Before they were not familiar with each other, Qiao Sheng prepared food for him according to the meal. The amount he took away last night was enough for three meals. He could save a meal by eating with them at noon.
She had planned it all out. If this man was reliable, she would give him more food as reserve food when they finished building the boat and were ready to leave.
After getting the food, the three of them entered the mine. Today's work process was still the same. When going back and forth between the boat and the mine, Qiao Sheng thought that it was a good thing that he took a bath and massaged his legs yesterday, otherwise he might not be able to walk today.
The same work was done for two days. On the afternoon of the last day, Li Mu played a trick. The explosion point was too big, affecting the stone where he and Qi Ye were hiding.
When Qiao Sheng leisurely returned to the mine with a small bag, she saw no one standing there. The explosion was blowing up dust. She felt anxious and started looking for someone. They had been blasting at fixed locations these days, so the location she was in when she left half an hour ago was not much different now. When she arrived at the place, she saw Qi Ye's head was hanging out, and there was no trace of Li Mu.
She went over and pulled Qi Ye's upper body out, and felt his breath. He was still alive. She slapped his face and pinched his Ren Zhong, and he finally woke up.
"Wuwuwu, it exploded, Brother Li hugged me, and then I was knocked unconscious." Qi Ye cried with snot and tears.
Qiao Sheng told him to shut up, saying that instead of crying
, he should use the time to dig out Li Mu who
was buried in the ore. After that, she ignored him and started digging the ore with her bare hands. She didn't dare to use a sledgehammer, for fear that she would use too much force and dig out his head. As time passed, Qiao Sheng became more and more anxious. She had dug a hole nearby, but still didn't see Li Mu.
Qi Ye recovered and came to find a place nearby and started digging, shouting "Where are you, Brother Li?"
In a hurry, she moved her hands heavily, and her nails rubbed against the ore several times, causing pain. She did not bother to check until her fingertips hurt everywhere. Then Qiao Sheng remembered how Chu Wanyou put stones at the entrance of the wild boar cave. She could just put the ore in a bag and move it to the side and pour it out.
Using this method, she really dug much faster. She also reminded Qi Ye to do the same. They dug in this place for 20 minutes but still found nothing.
Qiao Sheng asked Qi Ye to continue digging here, and he opened the friend system and sent an email to Xia Beibei: [Beibei, I'm looking for someone now. I'll start counting the eight directions clockwise from due north to northeast, due east, southeast, due south, southwest, due west, and northwest. I'll let you choose. Which direction would you choose? It's urgent. Please reply as soon as possible. Also, what is your lucky number?]
This letter was incoherent. Although Xia Beibei was puzzled after receiving it, she still replied to Dongbei and added that her hometown Dongbei's lucky number was 18.
Qiao Sheng didn't reply to her, thinking that it must be eighteen, Jinli Xia Beibei's lucky number, and also Li Mu's player number. He took eighteen steps towards the northeast direction. Twenty minutes had passed, and he didn't know if he could hold on.
When she got to the location, she squatted down and started to collect, thinking about the koi possession and lucky numbers. Five minutes later, she first touched the hair, and continued to move the ore beside her uncertainly, only then did she reveal Li Mu lying face down. She
collected all the ore pressing on him, pulled the cotton cloth on his arm and the waist of his cotton pants, and turned him over with a force. She first looked at his face, which was pitch black, but there was no blood. She pressed his nose and forehead, and there was no place that was crushed. She couldn't see his arms and legs.
She took a bottle of Baibaodan and a glass bottle of fresh water from her wrist bag, poured half a bottle of powder into the water bottle and shook it evenly, then took out the safety in the bottle and stuffed it directly into his mouth, pouring water mixed with Baibaodan into him.
She didn't dare to move him casually, just holding his head and waiting. At this time, Qi Ye also saw that Li Mu was found, so he walked to their side and sat on the ground, just watching.
Ten minutes later, Li Mu finally woke up. During these ten minutes, Qiao Sheng didn't move at all. His mind was in a storm. This man must not die if he didn't disappear.
The broken arms and legs can be treated slowly. If he is hit stupid, she will put him on the boat and raise him like a monk. Anyway, she can't throw him away.
"What's wrong with me?" Li Mu saw Qiao Sheng staring at him with a frown.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you asking me? Didn't I tell you to be careful when using explosives? You know when I came back, there was no one standing in the entire mining area. How do you feel?" Qiao Sheng got angry instantly when she heard that his voice sounded fine.
If she wasn't afraid of hurting him, she really wanted to poke his head and ask him why he was so careless, when she always told him to be careful when she left.
"Sister Qiao, don't be angry, and don't blame Brother Li. I was careless. We calculated everything. In the last explosion, we buried a few more points. When Brother Li set off the fire and retreated, he found that the stone where I was hiding was too close. He came to save me. If he hadn't dragged me a few steps, you might not be able to see me now. Wuwuwuwu." Qi Ye saw that he woke up and couldn't help crying again.
"Why are you crying? Isn't the man fine? Don't cry, big bosses. If he doesn't save you, you'll die here." Qiao Sheng really couldn't bear to see him cry, so after a few harsh words, he finally succeeded in shutting him up.
Together with Qi Ye, she drove Li Mu to a farther place to sit. She was going to collect the ore on the ground first and move out all 20 storage boxes. It looked quite spectacular.
Li Mu drank the medicine and was fine. He looked at his blood volume and found that it had recovered most of it. He quietly moved his arms and legs and it didn't hurt. He wore thick clothes in winter, but when he was blown away, his arms were cushioned and his palms were scratched.
Looking at his red and black hands, he rubbed his face with the back of his hand. It didn't hurt anywhere. Fortunately, he was not disfigured.
He stood up and took two steps to make sure there was no problem, then he walked to Qiao Sheng and squatted down to help.
This time he didn't threaten him, but just asked if he was sure there was no problem and whether his health bar was up to standard. Otherwise he would faint, which would be even more troublesome.
Li Mu didn't try to be brave, and after picking up the ore for a while he sat down to the side to rest.
It was already dark when the twenty boxes were finally filled. Qiao Sheng was carrying a backpack and waist bag full of ore, and a lit lantern in his hand. Qi Ye asked Li Mu to put his arm around his shoulders and carried him all the way back to the boat.
He handed all the food prepared for Qi Ye to him, and agreed to bring back the remaining ore tomorrow morning, and then start building a boat for him. After saying goodbye, Qi Ye got off the boat and left.
Let Li Mu sit on a small chair at the door of the toilet on the first floor. Qiao Sheng went upstairs to get a few pots of hot water from the iron pot, and filled the bathtubs for herself and Li Mu. Considering that Li Mu would take a long time to wash this time, she also lit a brazier for him.
She helped him take off his cotton clothes, and the rest had to be left to him. If he was unconscious, she could help, but forget about it if he was awake.
The clean clothes were in the storage box in the bathroom, and they could be changed without going out, so she didn't need to help with these.
Seeing Li Mu enter the bathroom, Qiao Sheng also took the time to go to the bathroom on the second floor and wash himself. He was too busy before and didn't take care of it. After entering the hot water, his ten fingertips hurt.
He stretched his fingernails to his eyes and saw that several of his nails were split and the skin between the ten fingernails was rubbed. No wonder it hurt so much after touching the hot water. He endured the pain and washed his hands by himself, changed into clean clothes and went to the kitchen. Both of them
were injured, and Qiao Sheng was not in the mood to cook, so he cooked the dumplings that he had wrapped a few days ago. He put a few plates of dumplings on the kang in the greenhouse, and carried the bowls, chopsticks and vinegar bottles in. Then he saw Li Mu limping up with a red face.
"You were able to walk just now, how come you became lame after taking a shower? Why is your face still red? Do you have a fever?" Qiao Sheng didn't understand what he was doing. She quickly reached out and touched his forehead. Sure enough, there was some hot water. There was no antipyretic medicine, which made her very anxious.
"I don't have a fever. Don't worry. I have a fever. It will be fine in a while." Qiao Sheng helped him onto the heated kang. He was holding the Baibaodan and artificial skin film taken from the storage room in his hands. He still needed to apply medicine to the wound on his hand.
Li Mu took off his cotton coat on the kang, revealing the white T-shirt underneath. Qiao Sheng then saw that his exposed arms and neck were also red. What was going on?
Climbing onto the kang, Qiao Sheng saw his wounds. His palms were covered with scars. He moved over to pick up the bottle of Baibaodan, poured out the powder and began to apply medicine to his wounds.
When Li Mu stretched out his hand, he saw her red flesh and messy nails. His eyes were fixed on him. Qiao Sheng noticed that he looked at her wounds again and didn't care about it. It was okay. It didn't hurt too much. He would apply medicine to her in a while.
When Qiao Sheng bandaged Li Mu, the main focus was speed, because the wound was not serious. It was far different from the messy one before. In addition, they upgraded the medicine, and it was estimated that it would heal in a few days.
Li Mu was much more careful when applying medicine to her wounds. He kept asking her if it hurt, and he almost annoyed her. He blew on the powder after applying it for fear that she would feel pain.
"What are you doing? I just sprinkled the powder on her, and you blew it away with your mouth. The food is still on the table. Our injuries are not serious, so there is no need to take Baibaodan orally, okay!" She also knew that Li Mu was afraid that she would feel pain, but his work was a bit silly.
After urging, he finally put artificial skin film on all ten fingers. This thing does not get wet and does not interfere with work. He will be a good man again tomorrow.
After dinner, they cleaned up the kang table and went to bed early. Today was really shocking and scary. Those who could not endure psychologically were almost going to have a heart attack.
When Qiao Sheng got up, Li Mu was no longer at the end of the kang. When she went to the bathroom to wash up, she saw him sweeping snow on the second-floor terrace. When she came out after washing up, he had already gone to the third-floor deck to sweep snow.
The preparations for breakfast were also done. The hand-rolled noodles had been rolled out and placed on the chopping board. The fish ball soup was cooking in the pot. Seeing Qiao Sheng enter the kitchen, he quickly said that the fish ball soup had not been seasoned yet, and asked her to put the seasoning in and then put the noodles in.
After breakfast, Li Mu went to clean up a layer of snow on the bow, sweeping up and down, and stored two more buckets of snow.
After finishing all this, he saw Qi Ye staggering to the shore with two dark circles under his eyes.
Qiao Sheng even joked that he might have been a thief last night, why did he look so haggard.
