"Does it hurt?" Jian Dan disinfected Mu Yi’s wound while gently blowing air on it.
"It doesn’t hurt~" Feeling the cool breeze, Mu Yi’s body involuntarily stiffened.
"There are too many wounds on your back, and a few have already started to inflame. You might get a fever tonight, but I don’t have any anti-inflammatory drugs in my bag."
"It’s fine, I’m so strong, nothing will happen!" Mu Yi smiled and reassured her.
"I hope so!"
After carefully treating the wound, Jian Dan wrapped it up with gauze.
As Jian Dan predicted, Mu Yi developed a fever that night~
"Did you really get a fever? What should we do?" Wounds getting infected like this could be very dangerous if not treated promptly, as it could easily lead to sepsis.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen!"
"You have a high fever now, how can it be nothing?"
"Don’t worry, I won’t die.
Just a small fever, it won’t take me down!" At this moment, Mu Yi’s face and head were covered in sweat beads, and the gauze Jian Dan had just wrapped was pletely soaked.
"But..." Jian Dan was already panicking, not knowing what to do.
"Really, it’s fine, trust me, my life isn’t that easy to take away.
Don’t cry, if you cry, it will make me feel even worse! So please don’t cry!"
Seeing that Mu Yi, despite feeling terrible, was still trying to fort her, Jian Dan forcefully swallowed the tears that were about to flow.
From her bag, she took a handkerchief outside the cave, wet it, and placed it on Mu Yi’s forehead.
Mu Yi watched Jian Dan, who was taking careful care of him, and a slight smile formed on his lips.
As time passed, Mu Yi’s condition worsened, his body became hotter, and his consciousness started to blur, he even struggled to lift his eyelids.
"Mu Yi, I remember all the things you just said. If you dare deceive me, I will never forgive you! Mu Yi, you can’t sleep, you are not allowed to sleep, I mand you not to sleep!" Jian Dan shouted as she saw Mu Yi’s eyes nearly closing.
"I won’t~ leave you~" His voice was so faint that Jian Dan couldn’t hear the last four words clearly. After saying this, Mu Yi drifted into a drowsy sleep.
"Mu Yi, Mu Yi, wake up! Wake up quickly, you can’t sleep, wake up!" Jian Dan kept shaking Mu Yi’s body hoping to wake him up, but although Mu Yi was still somewhat conscious, he did not wake up.
Just as Jian Dan didn’t know what to do, she found Portulaca oleracea next to the cave, monly known as purslane. This plant is very mon, and many people know it’s edible, but few know it also has heat-clearing and detoxifying effects.
Not knowing if it would work, but given the situation, it was worth a shot trying anything. Jian Dan picked some, crushed it by hand, and fed the juice into Mu Yi’s mouth...
After a long while, Mu Yi still showed no response. Just when Jian Dan thought it was useless.
"Cold~ Cold~" Although Mu Yi was still out of it, at least he started to feel cold. Jian Dan took off her clothes and covered Mu Yi with them, then went out to the cave to gather more branches, increasing the size of the fire.
After adding more wood, she sat back down next to Mu Yi, and just as she did, Mu Yi pulled her into his arms.
Jian Dan was startled for a few seconds, wanting to pull away from Mu Yi’s arms...
But as Jian Dan struggled, Mu Yi held her even tighter, saying, "So cold~"
In this situation, some things perhaps shouldn’t be overthought?
With that thought, Jian Dan stopped struggling and quietly lay on Mu Yi’s chest...
