Seeing Chen Jian like this, I'm a little worried. After spending time with him, I think he's a pretty good person.
And this time, it was all to save Liu Jiaojiao.
If Chen Jian really dies because of this, I think I'll feel uncomfortable for the rest of my life.
But it's already so late, and there are two bears we just killed around us. I really can't bear to just leave them here.
Wang Xiaoxiao, who was standing nearby, seemed to notice my hesitation and whispered to me, "Don't worry, I'll take two male colleagues to our old campsite later. There's a stream nearby, so we can find plenty of fresh water. These herbs will take a very long time to work, but since the bleeding has stopped, there shouldn't be any major problems. Give him some more later, and when it gets a little light, we'll drag these bears back to our campsite."
But then Wang Ping came over, heard Wang Xiaoxiao's suggestion, and frowned as he directly refuted it.
"No! If we take these two bears back tomorrow, Lin Xubo and the others will definitely have other ideas. So these bears can't be brought back to the camp!"
"But if we don't bring them back to camp, does that mean we're just going to abandon these bears?"
Wang Ping's words struck me hard, and I immediately thought of Lin Xubo's ugly face.
Yes, in the current situation, if we really take this bear away, Lin Xubo and the others will definitely try to get something from this bear when they don't get the short-legged bird.
Moreover, Bai Wei and the others used to go out of the camp at night to gather firewood around the campfire, but now we've all come out, and the cave is empty.
Bai Wei's camp was completely deserted. If Lin Xubo and the others had any common sense, they would surely know that our camp was now unguarded.
Going back, they would inevitably encounter Lin Xubo and his men's ambush.
Moreover, now, Bai Wei and his group who came looking for the short-legged bird, apart from Chen Jian who was injured, were all exhausted, frightened, and hadn't eaten anything all night. They were all slumped against the tree roots, looking dejected.
If a conflict were to break out back home, we would definitely not have the upper hand.
I looked around and then at Xiao Qiang: "Come on, I'll go with you to see if we can find any life-saving medicine near this forest."
After saying that, he handed the large cleaver we had brought with us to Wang Ping.
"Clean up this bear, cut off a few pieces of meat, and fill everyone's stomachs."
Wang Ping and the others were already starving. After hearing my instructions, they immediately nodded, but after taking the kitchen knife, they seemed a little hesitant.
I immediately slapped my forehead – we have no water source here!
People can survive without food, but they can die if they don't drink water.
Wang Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to me, looked at me and patted my shoulder: "I still remember the direction of the campsite where we built the treehouse before. I'll take two male colleagues to fetch some water."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wei grabbed Wang Xiaoxiao and shook her head: "That won't do. It's already so dark. What if the three of you go out and can't come back? I think either we should stop drinking water and just dry the bear and eat it directly, or we should take this bear with us to that irrigation ditch."
I looked at Chen Jianzhen's appearance, then glanced at everyone else who were exhausted, and finally decided to go to Tamsui.
Bai Wei and his team were exhausted, but they also knew that it was even more dangerous in this forest.
So we immediately took the vines and nets we had brought with us and surrounded the two bears.
However, because the bear was so huge, they ended up splitting into two groups, with both men and women participating.
I carried Chen Jian on my back.
Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei carried the miscellaneous items on the ground, and the group struggled to drag the bears towards the freshwater.
Fortunately, the stream was still there, and although the treehouse we had built was dilapidated, Wang Ping and I had taken firewood from it before.
But that place is still there. As long as you are vigilant at night, you should be fine after a rest.
When everyone reached the base of the tree, they were all panting heavily. After catching their breath, they ran to the fresh water to drink.
Wang Ping was exhausted, but he still forced himself to direct the men to drag all the bears to the freshwater and begin their work.
After settling Chen Jian in and having Liu Jiaojiao look after her, I took Xiao Qiang and Wang Xiaoxiao and went into the woods again.
We had camped in this forest before, so we knew what it was like inside.
However, we haven't found any herbs here before, so finding them might be a bit troublesome.
But the thought of Chen Jian makes my heart leap into my throat.
Xiao Qiang was also terrified, but she stayed with me and tried to stay calm.
We walked and searched deep into the woods, and finally found two wild ginseng roots in a patch of grass.
The wild ginseng was very small, only about the thickness of a thumb, but in our eyes it was truly a lifesaver.
Even the usually composed Xiao Qiang couldn't help but cheer with joy at this moment.
We carefully dug out those lives, one big and one small.
We'll leave the big one to Chen Jian, and we can use the small one to make soup to replenish our energy.
Wang Xiaoxiao found some wild vegetables nearby, and by the time we returned to the campsite, quite a bit of meat had already been cut up.
But since there was no pot in the camp, they had no choice but to grill the bear meat and eat it dry with some wild vegetables.
Xiao Qiang took a knife, cut the wild ginseng into slices, and put them into Chen Jian's mouth. She then fed Chen Jian some fresh water, cleaned his wounds, and applied herbal medicine to them with a clean cloth.
Only after everything was dealt with could we finally rest.
We didn't get up until dawn before we finally mustered the energy to deal with the bear that we had already slaughtered.
The bear meat was divided into more than 30 pieces, which were then wrapped in nets made of vines. Two people carried three or four nets, and the group walked forward together.
Bai Wei, Wang Ping, and I dragged the untreated bear into the woods.
By the time we reached the vicinity of the cave, it was already broad daylight.
We absolutely couldn't let Lin Xubo and his team find out about this bear, so we carefully hid it behind the mountain.
I plan to kill the bear later and take all the meat to the cave.
But to our surprise, when we returned to camp, the things we had guessed had actually come true.
Lin Xubo was standing on Bai Wei's deck, leading the group of foreigners to move things.
Bai Wei was furious when he saw this, and rushed up to Lin Xubo, panting, to question him.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Xubo just chuckled at Bai Wei, clearly not taking him seriously.
