Shu Xinyue just smiled faintly and said, "You don't have a scooter, how can you just walk to the city like this?"
Our clothes, pants and shoes were in tatters, but our faces were clean, after all, we had just climbed out of the river.
To be honest, it was really unrealistic to carry the two of them on foot to the city.
Not to mention physical strength, this ghostly appearance alone will attract the attention of soldiers and people who are about to be tied up.
When the time comes, instead of being sent to the hospital, people are kidnapped and sold collectively by criminals, which is really not worth the loss.
Seeing that I was sullen and silent, Shu Xinyue said again: "You go to my house and rest for the night. I will take you to the city tomorrow morning."
"No, I'm afraid they can't wait..."
I looked back at the sleepy Wrench and Chen Weiqiang, really afraid that they would just fall asleep like this.
It was getting late, and our walking speed gradually became faster.
After walking for about ten minutes, we came to a secluded valley.
Looking around, there are tall mountains all around, surrounding the small recessed stone house below. In addition, there are also lush trees and vines nearby. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find the mystery hidden inside.
"Peace, my home is inside, you will know when you go in and take a look."
Shu Xinyue stopped and pointed to a sunken hole on the edge of the cliff.
There is a spring under the entrance of the cave, which makes a "ding-dong" sound.
It's really a good place that's easy to defend but hard to attack.
But I looked for several seconds and couldn't find a way up to the "little stone house".
"You're a girl, and you live here?" I was a little doubtful about life. This girl is so bold.
"Well, I don't like the atmosphere in the village, so I brought Xiaoqing to live here!"
Shu Xinyue came to the spring, pulled apart a handful of vines and got in.
"Come in, I have medicine at home that can help your brother cure his illness."
The bird-like voice of the oriole echoed in the cave.
...After we looked at each other, we got in one after another.
"I live upstairs, and this is where we cook." After Shu Xinyue lit the fire dumplings, she smiled and asked us to follow her.
It feels like living in a commercial house in Shidong...
However, it looks ordinary from the outside, but it is unexpected that there is something special inside.
As soon as you enter the cave, you can smell the aroma of herbs.
I became even more curious about her identity and why she lived here alone. She also picked some flowers and placed them on the rocks to dry.
Visual inspection shows that the cave is at least 30 square meters wide, and the earthen stove is filled with cabbage, radishes, sweet potatoes, and apples, vegetables and fruits that are easy to store.
There is also a big grass nest in the corner, which is probably where "Xiao Qing" sleeps.
Walking further inside, you can see a small slope. After climbing up, you will arrive at what she calls "home".
It's the one we can see outside, inside the recessed hole.
At least ten meters above the ground.
There are bamboo cabinets, tables and beds in the cave, as well as some lighting tools.
There was also a first aid kit beside the bed, and a row of books piled beside the bed.
Including an eye-catching AK47.
Shu Xinyue lit the kerosene lamp on the table and said with a smile: "Xiao Qing must have gone hunting. You can sit down wherever you want and I'll cook."
"Wait." I called her and pointed to the medical kit with a worried look on my face, "I want to treat my brother first."
"Oh, look at my stupid head, how can I forget the important things?"
Shu Xinyue patted her little head in embarrassment and hurried over to get the medical kit.
I glanced at the books on the bedside. One of them was titled "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic"...
Abu placed the wrench sideways on her bed and asked anxiously: "He has a high fever and there are shrapnel on his body. Girl, is there a doctor in your village?"
Shu Xinyue regained her coolness in a second, "I am the doctor."
"..." She is actually a doctor?
This is incredible!
Shu Xinyue ignored our surprised looks and walked directly to the bed to check Wrench's pulse.
He even pretended to be an old Chinese doctor.
Zhengse said: "His pulse is a bit messy, and he is physically weak and lacks energy and blood. In addition, he has wind and cold infection, so that the old disease relapses... If not controlled in time, the condition may be aggravated."
I was really anxious: "I can do anything you ask me to do, as long as I can save him."
"Doctors are kind-hearted, and I will not leave you alone."
After Shu Xinyue opened the first aid kit, she took out a few packets of Western medicine with a hint of melancholy and said: "Actually, my mother studies Chinese medicine, and I have been studying with her since I was a child...
But the conditions here are limited, so I can only use western medicine to reduce your brother's fever. After daybreak, I will go pick herbs. "
When she said this, there were obvious tears in her eyes.
It’s already this time, who cares whether it’s Chinese medicine or Western medicine, as long as it can save lives.
I hurriedly opened up the antipyretics and anti-inflammatories, etc., and fed them to Wrench at once.
I just hope he gets better soon.
"I cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge when I went out. I'll serve it to you."
Shu Xinyue blinked her big watery eyes, turned around and ran down the small slope.
Li Jianguo also quickly followed.
"Brother Chen will starve to death if he doesn't eat anymore, wuwu!" Bayi sat on the stone, hugging the limp Chen Weiqiang, crying with runny nose and tears.
"She went to serve porridge. Don't howl, so as not to disturb their rest."
I sighed softly, tore open Wrench's clothes, looked at the red and swollen wound and asked, "Brother Dao, what should I do with the shrapnel behind this?"
The screwdriver raised his eyebrows and said, "We can't delay any longer. I'll get it!"
Abu said worriedly: "But there are no medical supplies here, just in case..."
"There is no chance! The shrapnel did not penetrate deeply and did not cause fatal injuries. As long as I have the most basic anti-inflammatory drugs and hemostatic drugs, I can get them!
I learned first aid in the army before, so I guarantee there will be no problem..." The screwdriver said firmly, picked up a scalpel, roasted it on the flame, and prepared to remove the shrapnel.
"Brother, you must hold on! After we return to China, we will do big things!"
I held the wrench in my arms and used alcohol to disinfect his wound.
Abu had no other choice, and couldn't bear to see Wrench suffer, so he had to take a gun and go to the cave entrance to guard.
"You hold him down. Fortunately, the shrapnel doesn't go deep and it's only one piece. I can get it done in a few minutes."
The screwdriver moved the kerosene lamp over and told me to hold on to the wrench and not let the pain wake him up, lest I accidentally injure him.
I pressed Wrench's shoulder and turned my head away heartbroken, just in time to catch Shu Xinyue's eyes that were hesitant to speak.
She was holding a basin of water and stood quietly next to it.
Behind him was Li Jianguo, holding a bowl of steaming porridge.
Bayi shook Chen Weiqiang in his arms and shouted anxiously: "Brother Chen, drink the porridge quickly. Just finish the porridge and you'll be fine."
"Stop shaking him. You've shaken him even though he's fine. You hold him steady and I'll feed him porridge."
Li Jianguo squatted in front of them and carefully fed Chen Weiqiang porridge with a spoon.
Fortunately, he only had hypoglycemia and was able to move after drinking a bowl of porridge.
When Chen Weiqiang woke up, I asked them to go down and drink porridge too. Don't get sick from hunger, otherwise we would all go to heaven to report.
Because the wrench was not out of danger, no one was willing to go down to drink porridge. They all gathered around the stone bed to watch the screwdriver remove the shrapnel for him.
