Chapter 747 Broken Bones
As the bonfire flickered, Xing Xing took a deep breath.
All the medicines that can be made with the materials available on hand have been made.
The next step is to reattach the broken bone of Wei Shiyan's crooked leg.
Xing Xing just looked at him a few more times, thinking of a more appropriate way to break the bones, but then she saw Wei Shiyan say, "Is it difficult to do it?"
His eyes were even deeper than the cold pond not far away, but his voice was very light: "I'll do it."
Xing Xing didn't react for a moment. What did "I'll do it" mean? Then she saw Wei Shiyan putting his hands on her legs. There was a "click" sound. It turned out that Wei Shiyan had rebroken his own crooked leg.
Xingxing's expression changed instantly!
Wei Shiyan's face turned pale, and a slight sweat appeared on his forehead due to the pain.
But he looked calm, as if what he had just done was just a casual thing.
He even asked Xing Xing: "Is this okay?"
Xingxing's eyes were almost filled with tears.
She knew since she was a child that her brother Yan was almost indifferent to her.
"Don't be like this anymore." Xing Xing wiped away her tears quickly and lowered her head to check Wei Shiyan's leg injury. "You don't care about yourself, but I do."
Wei Shiyan was stunned.
He looked at the little girl whom he hadn't seen for several years. The girl now looked like a young girl. She lowered her head and helped him check his injured leg.
The hair hung on the little girl's cheeks, and in the reflection of the bonfire, her jade-like cheeks looked even paler.
She had just quickly wiped away a tear, her eyelashes were still wet, and she was trembling slightly.
The still beating heart inside his chest seemed to be hit hard by something.
Wei Shiyan was silent, not knowing how to respond to Xing Xing for a moment.
Fortunately, Xingxing didn't need his answer.
Xing Xing had mixed the herbs she had collected with some medicines she had on hand to make a medicinal juice that could slightly relieve the pain. She had been boiling it over the campfire using a thin, slightly grooved stone. It was almost time.
Xing Xing used thick leaves to cushion her hands, took off the thin piece of stone, and put it aside to cool down a little.
"Drink this, and I will reattach your leg."
Wei Shiyan responded in a low voice: "Okay."
Wei Shiyan's broken leg was reconnected very smoothly.
However, the process of reconnecting a broken leg is extremely painful and is unbearable for ordinary people.
Even though there are pain-relieving drugs, many people will faint from the pain during this process.
But Wei Shiyan did not cry out in pain the entire time, and watched calmly as Xing Xing helped him set his bones.
If it weren't for the slight sweat on his pale forehead, Xing Xing would have suspected that she had broken Wei Shiyan's leg and caused him to lose consciousness.
Fortunately, perhaps with God's blessing, everything went smoothly.
Xing Xing found two long and straight branches and used them as splints. She covered Wei Shiyan's legs with herbs, bandaged them, and then fixed them up.
Having done all this, it’s not over yet.
At midnight, Wei Shiyan started to catch fire.
Xing Xing fed Wei Shiyan the antipyretic medicine that she had prepared long ago.
The water in the cold pond was cold. Xingxing soaked the handkerchief she carried with her in the water and then spread the cold handkerchief on Wei Shiyan's forehead.
Wei Shiyan's face flushed, but his expression was still calm.
Amid the flickering flames, Wei Shiyan watched Xing Xing taking care of him.
Xingxing changed her handkerchief three times, and the temperature on Wei Shiyan's forehead finally subsided.
Xing Xing checked Wei Shiyan's pulse again and said enviously, "It's good that you martial artists have recovered your abilities."
She yawned slightly, and lay down on the weeds and vines on the ground, curling up her body. She was obviously very sleepy, but she still forced herself to instruct Wei Shiyan with her last bit of energy: "...If you feel uncomfortable, you must wake me up. Otherwise, I will be angry!"
She knew Wei Shiyan's temper and was afraid that he would endure it, so she could only add this dry "threat".
After saying this, Xingxing fell asleep in a daze.
Wei Shiyan sat leaning against the stone wall, looked at Xingxing's sleeping face for a while, then took off his outer clothes and threw it on Xingxing.
The outer garment stretched out and perfectly covered the sleeping Xingxing.
A very faint smile finally showed on Wei Shiyan's pale face. He looked at Xing Xing for a while before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
When Xing Xing woke up the next day, she was still wearing Wei Shiyan's outer garment.
Xing Xing sat up in a daze, holding onto Wei Shiyan's outer garment. It took her a while to react to her current situation.
Yes, she fell into this cave yesterday...
By the way, what about the Crisis Banquet?
Just as Xingxing was about to look around, she heard a loud bang.
Wei Shiyan limped on one leg, using his sword as a crutch, as he stood by the cold pond.
He was holding a long branch in his hand.
At the tip of the branch, there was a big fat fish that was still struggling.
Xing Xing stood up and walked quickly towards Wei Shiyan: "As doctors, what we hate most is to meet patients like you who don't listen to medical advice."
Wei Shiyan said, "I was careful and didn't move my leg. In this environment, we have to be flexible."
Xing Xing found it somewhat novel when the words "make some adjustments" came out of Wei Shiyan's mouth.
She stepped forward to feel Wei Shiyan's pulse and found that he was indeed in good condition, even better than before his broken bones were reconnected yesterday.
Xingxing became happy again.
After Xingxing fell down yesterday, I ate some wild fruits to fill my stomach. Now that I have woken up, I am indeed hungry.
Seeing Wei Shiyan forking up such a big fat fish, Xing Xing rubbed her hands and immediately volunteered to cook the big fat fish.
Wei Shiyan directly handed the fish to Xing Xing.
When they played in the mountains before, Xingxing had caught fish for him from the creek and grilled it.
Xingxing was in no hurry to prepare the fish. She placed the fish on the edge of the cold pond and first helped Wei Shiyan to the stone wall where they had made a fire yesterday and let him sit down leaning against the wall.
A job was also arranged for Wei Shiyan.
"Don't move. Just stay here and watch the fire. Don't let it go out. I'll come over to grill the fish after I've prepared it."
A faint smile flashed across Wei Shiyan's eyes and he agreed.
Only a little of the fire that was started last night is still burning.
Fortunately, Xingxing picked up a lot of dry branches yesterday, so she doesn't have to worry about firewood.
Wei Shiyan has been practicing making fire these days and has already mastered it, so it's no problem at all.
Xing Xing left with peace of mind, and used the self-defense dagger she carried with her to deal with the fat cold pond fish by the cold pond.
They removed the gills and guts, and even made some cuts on the fish.
Xingxing took the processed fish to the fire and grilled it carefully.
When Xingxing was little, she often went to the stream to catch fish with her brothers and friends in the village. Her skill in grilling fish is very advanced.
Especially the cold pond in the cave, which is seldom visited by people. The fish in it are free and look plump, with tender meat.
