Because we didn't know what was following us, we ran with our lives on the line.
I carried Xiao Qiang on my back, but my physical strength was much stronger than these male colleagues, and I was always far ahead.
Xu Wei, Wang Xiaoxiao, and Liu Jiaojiao were also afraid of falling behind, so they stayed close to me. Although they were all a little unsteady, we quickly ran far away from the woods.
We only breathed a sigh of relief when we reached the beach.
"Brother Sihai, if you're too tired, why don't you let someone else carry you?"
Xu Wei looked at me and kindly wiped my sweat, but I didn't trust any of the people around me.
"It's okay, we're almost at the cave anyway, we can just bear with it a little longer."
After we finished speaking, we didn't dare stop and continued walking forward.
After walking for about two hours, we finally returned to the cave. I was exhausted and completely soaked.
Since Bai Wei and the others are going with us to search for Xiao Qiang tonight, I had Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Jiaojiao pack a lot of dried fish, and also gave half of the remaining bear meat to Bai Wei and the others.
They also gave Chen Jian a separate can of food and some dried mushrooms.
After I had arranged everything outside, I went to see Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Qiang lay on the new bed we had set up that afternoon, her face pale and unresponsive.
Xu Wei looked at me with red eyes and said softly, "When we were examining Sister Xiao Qiang just now, we found that she had a large patch of damage on her back. Her leg is bleeding, and Sister Xiaoxiao said that it seems like her leg bone is broken. What are we going to do? Sister Xiao Qiang is so proud. If she wakes up and finds out that she is disabled, I'm afraid she won't be able to live..."
I know that Xiao Qiang is so proud. She even makes a big fuss about not being able to apply skincare products and getting wrinkles on her face. If she really knew that her leg was broken and she was disabled, she probably wouldn't be able to live anymore.
Therefore, I must do my best to prevent her from becoming disabled and to save her life.
Wang Xiaoxiao and Liu Jiaojiao have already gone to distribute the food to Bai Wei and the others, leaving only Xu Wei and me inside the cave.
I looked at Xu Wei and felt a little embarrassed: "Take off her clothes, let me see the injury on her back, and then take a look at how badly her leg is injured."
The servant looked at me with some difficulty: "But she's too heavy, I can't move her!"
The two of them haven't returned yet, but we can't afford to delay any longer.
I gritted my teeth and, disregarding the taboo of men and women not touching each other, directly stripped Xiao Qiang down to his underwear.
I gently pressed her down on the bed and then noticed a long gash on her back, with the skin turned inside out. I didn't know what had injured her, but the wound wouldn't affect her life or health. As long as I applied herbal medicine and took some anti-inflammatory drugs, the wound would gradually heal.
The problem was her leg; the bone was visibly dislocated.
My left leg has already started to swell and turn red.
I reached out and touched her. Xiao Qiang let out a low growl of pain, but she still didn't open her eyes and remained unconscious.
Xu Wei's eyes reddened with heartache as she quickly rummaged through the medicine box we had already packed earlier that day.
However, many of the medicines on the label were blurry, and since they all had foreign names, I couldn't understand them.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoxiao is a top student, so she should be able to understand what's written inside when she comes back in a little while.
Xiao Qiang's leg needs to be treated immediately. I pressed on the bones inside and found that they were dislocated and cracked, but not broken.
The problem is that without filming, many things are uncertain.
So now I have to set her bones back together.
It must be extremely painful to set a bone, and I'm afraid Xiao Qiang won't be able to bear it. I'm worried that she might bite her tongue again in her panic.
So he stuffed the clothes that Xiao Qiang had changed out of into her mouth and pressed them against her teeth.
He then looked at Xu Wei and said, "You must hold her down tightly. Once the bone is set, you can fix it with a wooden board and that will be the end of it."
Xu Wei was a little nervous, but she also knew the importance of this matter, so she nodded.
He then sat down on the edge of the bed and grabbed Xiao Qiang's shoulders.
I took a deep breath, touched Xiao Qiang's bones, stroked down a strand, and applied hard pressure to her ankle. Xiao Qiang's eyes suddenly opened in pain, then her body convulsed, and she fainted again.
I felt her other bones up and down, and I realized that her lower leg must be fractured. All she can do now is rest.
I didn't dare delay, so I turned around and ran to the door to find three relatively uniform and smooth wooden sticks. I made a triangle and used them to tightly bind Xiao Qiang's leg with the hemp rope we had taken from the boat earlier.
He also put some of the herbs he had given me before on Xiao Qiang's back.
Wang Xiaoxiao and Liu Jiaojiao returned at this moment. When they saw that I had already taken care of Xiao Qiang, but Xiao Qiang was completely naked, the two of them blushed.
Xu Wei quickly handed the medicine box to Wang Xiaoxiao: "Sister, please check if there are any anti-inflammatory or fever-reducing medicines in here. Sister Xiao Qiang will definitely have a hard time tonight, but neither of us can understand the writing on this box."
Wang Xiaoxiao used the firelight to rummage through the dozen or so bottles of medicine.
Finally, they found a bottle of foreign-made capsules that resembled antibiotics.
However, the medicine has already expired, but it's better to have something than nothing.
I took two pills out and stuffed them directly into Xiao Qiang's mouth, but Xiao Qiang was unconscious and couldn't eat anything at all.
In the end, I took a sip of water, dissolved the medicine in my mouth, and gave it to her mouth-to-mouth.
We didn't eat anything that night, but Wang Xiaoxiao, despite being exhausted, made some food.
We ate a few bites haphazardly, and the women were all exhausted. They lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately.
But I couldn't sleep, and suddenly I felt a pang of self-reproach.
If I had stopped her or coaxed her a bit or said a few nice things back then, Xiao Qiang would never have run out in a fit of anger.
They wouldn't have suffered such a serious injury.
I can't even imagine how desperate she must have felt when she fell into that trap all by herself.
In the latter half of the night, Xiao Qiang started to have a fever, kept talking in her sleep, her legs were swollen like pig's trotters, and her face turned from pale to bright red.
I kept feeding her water and wiping her body, and the other women gave Xiao Qiang the whole piece of that huge bear skin.
I covered her completely to make her sweat.
Around three or four in the morning, Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't sleep either, so she cut a few more pieces of bear meat, added some herbal powder that Xiao Qiang had picked up for us, and made a bowl of soup.
"Drinking water doesn't replenish energy, so giving her something to eat will help her recover sooner."
I carefully used the bent wooden spoon to feed her water and soup little by little, fussing over her all night. But the next morning, Xiao Qiang's fever not only didn't go down, it got even higher...
