Chapter 428: Fever
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The moon rose high up in the sky. Even without a clock, Chen Wei’er could tell it was already late at night. She was tired and sleepy. Her head and hands hurt.
After confirming He Xun was in better condition, Chen Wei’er briefly cleaned herself up and wrapped her clothes around herself before lying down beside He Xun.
Chen Wei’er fell asleep in a short while. She assumed He Xun would soon wake up. After all, he always had a lofty and omnipotent image in front of her.
But the next morning, Chen Wei’er was woken up by the heat. It was as if a stove was beside her. She was confused for a moment.
In the next second, Chen Wei’er suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at He Xun, who was incessantly emitting heat.
Right then, He Xun’s eyes were still closed. No signs of opening could be observed.
Chen Wei’er was really panicking. She touched He Xun’s burning arm and then checked his forehead.
…..
He Xun had a fever!
Chen Wei’er lost the color on her face. Where was she going to get fever medicine in the wilderness? She could only carry the crab shells and scoop cold water back and forth to lower He Xun’s temperature. She continuously fed him water.
Finally, He Xun’s temperature dropped a little, but this could not go on. The patient had to eat something. Otherwise, how could his body withstand it?
Chen Wei’er wrapped her clothes tightly and tried her best to start a fire again to warm up He Xun. She feared He Xun’s condition would worsen if he caught a cold. Then, she strode out of the cave.
In the past, He Xun was always in charge of finding food. The one and only moment He Xun brought Chen Wei’er out, they fell off a cliff.
This time, Chen Wei’er came out alone to look for something to eat. Only then did she learn how tough it was for He Xun.
The surroundings were barren. Apart from the reeds, there wasn’t anything else. Even the weeds were scarce.
It was unknown where He Xun had gotten that pheasant in the first place. But today, Chen Wei’er did not see anything. Could it be that the rabbit from that day had exhausted all her luck?
While thinking, her heart turned cold. Just as she was about to give up, Chen Wei’er suddenly saw some plants on the ground. It resembled a sweet potato vine. She still remembered the sweet potato He Xun had found…
Chen Wei’er regretted that she did not have basic survival skills. She could not even tell what kind of plant it was! But no matter what, she had to dig it up and give it a try!
She had no tools, so Chen Wei’er could only dig the hard soil with her bare hands! As if she was looking for treasure, she grabbed the vine and forcefully pulled it out!
Chen Wei’er gritted her teeth and soon extracted it! It was actually a white radish! She was a little discouraged.
White radishes were not like sweet potatoes. They could more or less fill the stomach. But He Xun didn’t like to eat carrots too…
However, Chen Wei’er couldn’t find anything else to eat now, so she could only make do.
Chen Wei’er returned to the cave with the radish. She washed it, cut it into pieces, and then boiled it in water.
After the radish was cooked, it was mashed with stones and fed to He Xun bit by bit.
He Xun was still unconscious and unwell. He could not swallow the radish paste that was fed to him.
Chen Wei’er tried several times and discovered that He Xun did not swallow the food.
If this continued, how could I le Xun’s body withstand it? Chen Wei’er pressed her lips against his once again and tried to blow into his mouth.
It was not easy for He Xun to eat a little.
Chen Wei’er heaved a sigh of relief. As long as He Xun could eat something, even if it was just a little…
However, her feelings were extremely complicated when she saw the predicament before her.
The two of them were in too much trouble now. It could be said that they did not have enough food to fill their stomachs and clothes to cover their bodies.
In addition, He Xun was injured and sick, and his fever couldn’t seem to lower.
Chen Wei’er never thought that she would fall into such a situation. Could she bring He Xun out of here safely?
Although she thought so, Chen Wei’er did not stop feeding He Xun. When she had almost finished half a bowl of radish paste for He Xun, the anxiety in her heart eased a little. Chen Wei’er swallowed the rest in one go.
Last night, she carried He Xun back to the cave and went out to find something to eat this morning. Chen Wei’er was already exhausted. Her stomach was also protesting. Although the radish was scant, Chen Wei’er still felt better after eating it.
Chen Wei’er tiredly fell down beside He Xun. She hugged his arm and fell asleep again. She didn’t know how long she had slept, but she seemed to hear the panting of some animal beside her ear. That breathing made her hair stand on end.
Was it a dream? Chen Wei’er opened her eyes in a daze, and a warm breath blew on her arm..
