Chapter 68: The Crutches
Several people's hearts were pinched at the same time, presumably Bai Wei's group couldn't sleep well tonight.
However, resting well is the best way to maintain physical strength.
I persuaded a few women to hurry up and go to bed.
After all, no matter what, we have to continue to live strongly.
Wang Xiaoxiao was also very worried, and asked me if we needed a vigil at night.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I'm here, if they really want to hurt you, they have to kill me first, you sleep peacefully, I will stand every shift for you. ”
Xu Wei tugged at my hand with red eyes: "Brother Sihai, you can't die no matter what!"
"What do you say stupid girl? You Sihai brother has also beaten wolves, caught bears, and fought lions and tigers, and you will be killed by a few yellow-haired and green-eyed people? You underestimate me too much, right?"
I coaxed the women to the grass bed, and I lay down too.
The bonfire in the cave flickered on and off, but I couldn't help but worry in my heart.
The next day, during the day, I went down the mountain to see Bai Wei and his group.
Each of them is in a good manner, collecting firewood, and cooking.
When Bai Wei saw me, he said with an ugly face that they had been tossing and turning in that boat all night last night, shouting and screaming, and they didn't know what they were doing.
"I don't think they're a safe person, can we think of another way to stay away from them?"
I sat in the cabin and saw Lin Xubo hiding in the corner, his face covered with clothes, and I didn't know if he was asleep.
When all of us were terrified, he was calm.
Wang Ping also sighed when he heard this: "But where else can we go except here?" The depths of the woods are full of dangers, and the situation will only be more dangerous if we go, and there is a mountain here in Zhao Sihai, and people live well, wouldn't it be a pity if this mountain is thrown away? And I'm afraid that our situation will only be worse than now?"
Wang Ping's brain is not stupid, because what he thinks is exactly what I think.
And if I were to leave like this, I would never be reconciled.
We worked so hard to find this cave, and we cleaned it up so well, and now we live in the cave, not afraid of wind and rain.
But after giving up on this cave and starting from scratch again, to be honest, I don't have that much confidence, and I don't have that much courage.
And even if this island is big, as long as this group of people has bad thoughts about us, no matter where we hide, they can always find fault and come and clash with us.
So it's useless to hide.
"Let's take a look first, we'll make a decision after seeing what happens on their side in two days, but I do have something I'd like to ask you for help with right now, and of course, I can exchange it for food or fruit. ”
Bai Wei didn't say anything, and when he heard my words, he instantly lowered his head.
Of course, I didn't expect him to help me pull the straw like he did that day, after all, they now have food and there is no need to "work" for me anymore.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ping looked at me unexpectedly and nodded: "What do you want to do?" I can help you. ”
Since Bai Wei didn't want to care, then I didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up and went out, Wang Ping followed behind, Chen Jian saw that I also hurriedly came over, but he didn't wake up.
"You also know that my cave is full of women, and now there are so many foreigners, and then take them down the mountain to collect food, and it will be a bit troublesome to get firewood, so I want you to help me get more firewood, I can exchange fruit and short-legged birds with you, and short-legged birds can lay eggs, you know this. If you agree, how about ten bundles of firewood and one short-legged bird?"
Wang Ping didn't say anything, but Chen Jian looked at me and nodded quickly.
"Brother Sihai has taken care of us so much recently, don't say you have something to exchange for, even if you don't give me anything, I'll help you do it. ”
As soon as Wang Ping heard Chen Jian say this, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Jian, but he also nodded at me.
"He's right, you don't have to change anything, after all, you have already beaten a wild boar for us that day, so let's go with you after a little food. ”
Chen Jian, this kid is really a malleable talent, I nodded in my heart and wrote down his goodness.
When he returned to the cave again, Wang Xiaoxiao had already grilled the meat.
Xiao Qiang's legs have begun to recover gradually, but now they still can't struggle, I watched her lying on the bed all the time a little embarrassed, and embarrassed to often ask other people to help.
I thought I'd go into the woods and make her a crutch in a moment, so that she could support herself up and walk back and forth.
After eating, Chen Jian and Wang Ping were already waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain, and another male colleague came.
I took the three of them all the way to the nearby woods and started to pick up dry branches.
But the dry branches in this vicinity have already been picked up by us, and the rest are still fresh trees.
Wang Ping wanted to cut down the tree, but I stopped him.
Not to destroy the ecological environment, is the rule that everyone should abide by, although we are very difficult here now, but with these trees, mushrooms and herbs will grow under the trees, if this area of trees is cut down, the consequences are unimaginable.
"When I went to fetch fresh water a while ago, I found that there was a lot of dry firewood in the place where we built a tree house before, and we could go and beat the dry firewood into bundles, and drag it back with vines after drying it. ”
Chen Jian's proposal is not bad, and it is daytime, Bai Wei and his party are hiding in the boat and not going out, and there is not much danger.
The four of us hit it off, quickly hid the dried branches that had been made under the tree, and then followed Chen Jian all the way to the place where we had built a tree house for him before.
This tree house has long since collapsed, and all the dead branches that built the tree house before have been pulled out and reused.
While the few of them were gathering dead branches, I went into the woods and found a stick that was relatively strong and unforked.
Holding the dagger she brought, she thought about going back to find a rag or dragging the skin of the wolf's tail off to tie it up to Xiao Qiang, which would save her from hurting her hands.
After everything was packed, we dragged four or five bundles of firewood and headed back to the cave with great difficulty.
I gave Wang Ping ten apples and a short-legged chicken, which can be regarded as a reward.
They were responsible for helping me carry all the dry firewood to the cave, although there was still the rest of the dry firewood before the cave, but it is better to save more in this condition.
When I handed the crutches to Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang looked very surprised, and couldn't wait to take the crutches and walk around the cave with the help of me, the expression on her face was very happy, but her eyes were red.
She slowly walked up to me and looked at me and sniffled: "Sihai, thank you for the gift you gave me, I will keep this crutch for the rest of my life." ”
After speaking, he even kissed me in front of Wang Xiaoxiao and several others, which made me feel excited and embarrassed.
