Wang Ping stood aside, his face clearly tense. Perhaps he still remembered what I had just said to him. He hurriedly ran over to look at the crowd and pulled them out.
"We don't even know what this thing is yet! Are you crazy to be standing so close? What if it really has radiation? We'll all have leukemia tomorrow. In a place with such poor medical conditions, we'll just be waiting to die!"
Upon hearing Wang Ping's words, the people around him all showed expressions of terror, and then they all took a few steps back.
Xiao He, however, remained standing there, as if he were truly unafraid of death.
But I don't care whether he lives or dies.
It was already so dark, everyone should have gone to sleep long ago. I watched as Wang Ping dispersed the crowd, then I called out to him, and we all ran to the campfire.
Although we are now sleeping outdoors in the wind and rain, the campfire here keeps us warm.
We squeezed together and managed to doze off, and that's how we drifted off to sleep.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, I heard a series of commotions around me. When I opened my eyes, I found that everyone was gathered in one place, seemingly watching something exciting.
When we got there, I discovered that the stones had floated up again.
Those stones, suspended high in the air, even emitted a bright light, like diamonds, exceptionally dazzling.
Wang Ping also came over, frowning: "What is the origin of this thing? It can float with the rising sun, it's really strange."
I shook my head, because I didn't know what it was.
But thinking about it, I know it probably isn't anything good.
I didn't see Xiao He, but the others in Xiao He's group were standing in the crowd, all looking up curiously.
I searched everywhere but couldn't find Xiaohe, and Yang Rui was also missing.
Just as they were about to send Wang Ping with some men to search for them, Yang Rui and Xiao He suddenly ran out of the woods.
Yang Rui walked behind, and Xiao He walked in front.
Xiao He was even carrying some tree branches in his hand. When he saw me, he immediately ran over with a grin.
"Oh, I noticed there wasn't much firewood left in the campfire, so I gathered some. We need to cook something this morning, and a stronger fire will cook it faster."
His words were utterly nonsensical. They had never needed to collect firewood, and there was plenty of firewood around here. Why would he go into the woods?
However, I had known for a long time that he and this Yang Rui were acting strangely, so I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it.
Xiao He didn't say anything, but turned around and went to the campfire, where he neatly piled up the branches.
After we finished eating, we were still thinking about whether we should go back to the previous campsite to look for things from that place.
Just as they were about to leave, Bai Wei, who was chopping wood there, suddenly cried out in pain.
I turned my head and saw that Bai Wei's hand was bleeding, obviously the injury was serious.
Although my relationship with Bai Wei was just so-so, after spending this time together, he had become an acquaintance. I immediately ran up to him and then called out to Xiao Qiang.
Because among these people, only Xiao Qiang knew about some herbs.
Moreover, Xiao Qiang had previously delivered babies for Liu Jiaojiao and Wang Xiaoxiao, so she could be considered a semi-doctor.
But Xiao Qiang is nowhere to be found right now; I called him twice but got no response.
Bai Wei had started yelling and his face had turned pale, clearly in great pain.
Fresh blood dripped onto the ground and quickly seeped into the soil. The blood flowed incessantly, and the stench of blood gradually spread, making it a truly shocking sight.
Wang Ping also came over at this moment, picked up a strip of cloth, and was about to wrap it around Bai Wei's palm.
Just then, Xiao He ran over from a distance: "Don't move! I know a way to stop the bleeding!"
After saying that, he immediately tried to pull Bai Wei away. Bai Wei was in pain and throwing a tantrum, cursing and trying to shake Xiao He off. But Xiao He's strength was undeniable. He pulled Bai Wei and hurriedly ran to the side of the floating pile of stones.
Then he looked at Bai Wei and said loudly, "Quickly raise your hand and put it on the stone."
Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, then started cursing: "Are you fucking crazy? My hand is bleeding like this, do you think it will stop bleeding if I lift it up? Get out of here!"
Xiao He ignored Bai Wei's cursing and clicked his tongue at Bai Wei.
"If you don't want to bleed to death, listen to me!"
After saying that, she reached out and grabbed Bai Wei's injured hand.
Bai Wei couldn't break free, so he could only let Xiao He raise his hand high.
A surprising scene unfolded: the moment Bai Wei raised his hand, the blood that had been flowing continuously from his hand suddenly stopped flowing. Instead, it seemed to be absorbed by the stones and flowed upwards.
This scene truly stunned everyone, and after seeing it, Xiao He immediately turned to us and said, "Quickly get some tree trunks so he can stand on them and touch those stones."
Of course, none of us moved anything, but Xiao He and his group obeyed orders very well and quickly moved all the wooden blocks we had chopped over there.
Bai Wei turned to look at me, but before he could say anything, Xiao He had already forcibly pulled Bai Wei to stand on the wooden stump, and then placed Bai Wei's hand directly on the stone.
I was a little confused, wondering what Xiao He was up to, but soon I stopped hearing Bai Wei's shouting.
Wang Ping stood next to me and said doubtfully, "Could this stone possibly cure diseases? That would be a real treasure."
But just then, Bai Wei exclaimed, "Hey, it doesn't seem to hurt anymore!"
The tense expression on Xiao He's face just now has relaxed.
He looked at Bai Wei and nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, this meteorite is called a 'Xiaoling Stone.' This kind of stone is extremely rare, and it has medicinal properties. Hold it for a while longer, and if you feel no pain in your hand, then take it off."
Bai Wei stopped arguing with Xiao He and stood there obediently with his hands raised. Although he looked a little strange, everyone's curiosity about the stone had surpassed their curiosity about Bai Wei, and they were all waiting for the final result.
Bai Wei held the position for about three more minutes. His hands seemed to be getting sore, so he shook them, jumped off the stone block, and looked at his hands again. His expression was one of extreme surprise.
Wang Ping was also stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward. Before long, I saw the confusion on Wang Ping's face turn into surprise, and finally into ecstasy.
He waved his hand at me sharply, as if trying to call me over to take a look.
When I saw Wang Ping's expression, I knew that the stone was indeed as magical as Xiao He had said.
