Chapter 51 - 51: Lost
“Where’s the mark? Where’s the mark I made just now?”
Su Li surrounded the tree and began to look for the marks she had made previously. She searched all the nearby trees, but there was not a single mark!
Could it be that everything just now was a dream and she did not mark it at all?
In order to confirm that she was not letting her imagination run wild, Su Li lowered her head and looked at the tool in her hand.
She had indeed made a mark, but it had disappeared for no reason!
Could she have seen a ghost?
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over. Su Li couldn’t help but rub her arms.
She suddenly thought of something. Was it because she couldn’t talk about humans during the day and talk about ghosts at night? But it wasn’t night yet!
Su Li recited a few Buddhist scriptures in her heart, trying to find some comfort for herself.
The sun was about to set. If the sun went down, the deep mountains and forests would become even more terrifying.
This place was filled with danger. Coupled with He Yufeng’s serious injuries and the smell of blood on his body, it was very easy to attract something.
If they did not leave the mountain in time, their situation would be much tougher than now.
Su Li looked up at the sky. “God, you can’t play us like this, right?”
She rubbed her temples. Ever since she was young, she had never had a good
sense of direction, especially in the deep mountains and forests without any
defining characteristics. Now, she felt that the area was the same no matter
where she looked.
“He Yufeng, wake up. We’re lost!” Su Li went forward and patted He Yufeng.
Although she was lost, He Yufeng had been hunting in the mountains for many years and should be more familiar with the roads in the deep mountains. If he pointed the way, they should be able to successfully descend the mountain.
“He Yufeng, He Yufeng!”
Su Li realized that He Yufeng had started to have a high fever. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t wake him up!
She looked at He Yufeng’s wound. Because he did not receive treatment in time, it had already begun to fester.
Su Li felt her head hurt even more. Just now, she had already treated He Yufeng’s wound briefly and made him chew a few anti-inflammatory herbs to prevent such a thing from happening.
The conditions were limited now. Moreover, He Yufeng’s injury was from a fall. He needed to undergo surgery and recuperate. However, now was not the time to undergo surgery. The environment and various configurations were not up to standard. If he were to undergo surgery rashly, his condition might be even worse than now.
“Why do I feel like I’ve been on a terrible journey recently?” Su Li muttered softly.
Yesterday, the two children had a fever. Today, their father had a fever. Could they give her a break?
The only thing she could do now was to quickly reduce He Yufeng’s fever. Otherwise, he might lose her life. Fortunately, there were herbs on the mountain that could reduce his fever. Su Li picked some and smashed the herbs with rocks before stuffing them into He Yufeng’s mouth. She also fed him some spiritual spring water.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark and that He Yufeng did not show any signs of waking up, Su Li decided to find a safe place to spend the night.
She left He Yufeng where he was and walked around nearby. In the end, she found a relatively safe cave.
She looked around the cave and realized that it was just the right size for them to spend the night and take refuge in!
Su Li went back and planned to drag He Yufeng into the cave.
“I’m so tired. I must make He Yufeng lose weight next time. Why did he grow so tall for no reason?!”
He was usually tall and handsome. However, it was a sin to be tall now.
Su Li used all her might to drag He Yufeng into the cave. As soon as she entered the cave, she was like a deflated balloon and sat on the ground.
Su Li raised her hands and saw that they were trembling.
After resting for a while, Su Li went out to find some dry firewood.
There was still no dinner for them. Su Li wondered if she could catch one or
two small prey. If she could, she wouldn’t have to worry about dinner.
At this moment, a cute and gluttonous white rabbit appeared in Su Li’s line of sight.
Su Li’s eyes lit up when she saw the rabbit. If she could catch this big white rabbit, her dinner tonight would be settled. God had really sent her a pillow just as she was dozing off.
Just as Su Li was thinking of a way to catch the rabbit, the big white rabbit also discovered her existence.
The big white rabbit was clearly inexperienced in the world. When it saw Su Li, it was so frightened that it slammed into the tree. It only felt stars in its eyes and fell to the ground with its tongue out.
Su Li was speechless.
This sudden action of the rabbit caught her off guard.
Su Li went forward and picked up the unconscious rabbit. She weighed it in her hand. This fat rabbit should weigh three to four catties. It felt like a pie had fallen from the sky.
Su Li did not dare to deal with the rabbit outside, afraid that a little smell of blood would attract some ferocious beasts. It was always better to be safe than sorry.
Su Li looked around. After confirming that there was really no one around, she flashed into the interspace.
As soon as she entered the interspace, the fatigue on her body was swept away. The burning pain on her shoulder also lessened at this moment.
Su Li peeled the skin of the fat rabbit and marinated it first. Fortunately, she had left some ingredients in her space previously, so they came in handy now.
After dealing with the rabbit, Su Li lowered her head and sniffed her body. A stench of sweat rushed into her nose.
She turned her head away in disdain. It was easy for fat people to sweat. She had been busy for the entire day today. Her clothes were wet, became dry, and wet again. The smell on her body was so terrible no one would want to smell it. She did not feel it just now because she was busy. Now that she was free, she felt that the smell could kill her.
Su Li turned her head to take a look. When she saw the blood mark, she did not look surprised, as if she had long known that her shoulder would become like this.
She soaked her entire body in the water, and the fatigue in her body was swept away.
There was no way to continue wearing the clothes she was wearing today. Fortunately, when she was taking a bath in the interspace previously, she felt that it was troublesome to bring clothes in, so she casually threw two sets of clothes into the interspace. She did not expect them to come in handy today.
Su Li prepared the herbs and applied them to the blood mark on her shoulder. A chill stimulated her wound, making Su Li gasp.
This time, she had sacrificed too much for He Yufeng. If he dared to put on a long face again in the future, she would teach him a lesson.
After applying the medicine, Su Li went to the black soil to take a look. The chili was completely ripe. Su Li used her mind control to collect all the chili and planted a portion of it.
The purple kale that she had planted last time was growing well. It wouldn’t be long before the purple kale would be harvested. After exchanging for a certain amount of purple kale, she would be able to upgrade the shop to Level 3. However, judging from the progress bar, it would take some time..
