Chapter 6: Sickness

"It's not for you to taste, you don't have to treat death as home. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" An Su raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile in his eyes.

An Su pulled out a knife and cut a large bush, and the crisp aroma spread, which shocked people's spirits. Ansu tied them into three bundles, one tied around her waist and the other two were handed to Li Kai and Simon. Li Kai hesitated for a moment and took it, anyway, its aroma is not unpleasant.

"Simon, here's for you." Li Kai threw a bundle to Simon, who was leaning against a pillar and pretending to sleep. Strange, Simon's face doesn't seem to be good lately? His face was haggard than his.

The grass fell on Simon's body and bounced to the ground, and he opened his eyes: "You're leaving?" As he spoke, he braced his body to get up, but he fell weakly, he smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Maybe I have to rest more." ”

An Su came over and squatted down and touched his forehead, and then checked his previous wound, the wound had not healed at all in the past few days, although it did not bleed, but it was red, swollen and pus, and the wound was surrounded by a circle of yellow and white pus.

"The wound is inflamed." Ansu said with a frown. Inflammation of the wound may be caused by mosquitoes and flies, germs, or sewage. In this drug-free situation, Simon's situation is not optimistic.

"Show me your wounds, too." An Su said to Li Kai. Li Kai obediently stretched out his feet, unlike Simon, Li Kai's wound had formed a reddish-brown scab.

"I'm dragging you down." Simon said weakly, feeling like he had been burned by a fire, reminding him of those miserable days. At the beginning, he was burned by the fire of the spaceship explosion, and he was repaired by the mutation of source force radiation, but the root of his body was greatly traumatized, and in addition to the damage caused by his transformation, he is now more like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© giant.

"Captain, what should I do?" Li Kai looked at An Su a little anxiously. They don't have a cure, how can they stabilize Simon's condition? If only they could have found Sun Cheng earlier.

"We'll settle down here now and wait for Simon's condition to settle down." An Su said calmly, "Find a cool and clean place, and don't let him be exposed to the sun all the time." ”

The two went their separate ways, and to be honest, it was not easy to find such a piece of land in this ruin, which had been infested by plants. In the end, they settled on an abandoned building, half collapsed, half sturdy, with green vines crawling on the stone walls, and it was still possible to sleep on the dusty and leafy floor.

Li Kai cut some branches to sweep away the dust and dead leaves on the ground, and also cleaned up the rubble. Ansul went and cut a large bundle of alien calamus leaves, spread them on the ground, and then moved Simon to them. Illness comes like a mountain, this is not wrong at all, after the breath that Simon had been holding was relaxed, he fell ill, his whole body was hot, and his limbs were limp and weak.

After settling Simon, An Su said to Li Kai: "You are watching him here, I will go find some firewood and come back." "It's best not to eat raw food when you're sick, and Ansu worries that Simon will get chills after the fever.

"I will." Li Kai nodded solemnly.

In such an area where the ground is almost entirely watered, it is not easy to find dry branches, and the dead branches have sunk into the water. Ansu dragged some out to dry on the stones, anyway, now there is sun all day, and it should be dry for a day or two. She went back to the woods where she had been, looking for the dead branches that hadn't yet fallen into the water.

"Alas, skinny monkey, I didn't think I would have today." Simon smiled weakly.

"Cut, don't you get sick." Li Kai tore off a vine leaf on the wall and pretended to be disapproving.

"Well, if I am defeated by this little germ, I really don't have the face to see them." Simon put his hand weakly over his face.

"yes, I'll be the first to laugh at you." Li Kai threw the leaves on the ground and said with a grin, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Ansu put a large bundle of dry branches on the ground, looked at Simon's situation again, and asked Li Kai, "How is he?" ”

"It seems to be getting hotter and hotter."

"You dip the animal skin in water to cool him down, and I'll go out and see if I can find some herbs." Ansu stood up and said. In the past, when they lived in the wild, they also knew some herbs, but in this strange planet, it was already good that there was no food poisoning.

Ansu walked out of the shelter, the warm sun shone down, and suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, the green figure of calamus and the candle-like cylindrical fruit spike, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, and a possibility passed through her mind, whether that plant was calamus or cattail? Calamus and cattails are very similar, except that calamus is poisonous and inedible, while cattails are edible on their rhizomes. However, it is also possible that it is neither, because its leaves are bicolored.

Ansul uprooted a plant, with a white rhizome at the bottom, and a fluffy that grew on the upper part resembled a cat's tail. She reached out and stroked it, leaving a yellow-brown pollen in her palm. If it is a cattail, its pollen has the effect of hemostasis, analgesic and anti-inflammatory, its rhizome can not only be eaten but also can be used to remove heat poison, and the slender leaves can also be used to weave utensils.

Gently caressing the long, narrow half-green and half-red leaves, An Su pinched off a section of the rhizome and put it in her mouth to chew, what is not poisonous is cattail, if it is poisonous, she will hallucinate. Sitting down against the pillar that Simon once leaned on, Ansu looked up at the vast sky, quietly waiting for the hallucination to appear, maybe it would be good to have a hallucination, maybe it would bring her back to the happy days of the past. Ansu closed her eyes vigorously to drive away a trace of fragility in her heart, she valued the future more than the past. Simon will be fine, and everyone will be reunited eventually.

About half an hour had passed, and Ansu's eyes were still clear, the corners of her mouth curled, and she quickly got up and jumped into the water to pluck more cattails, the water was only a little above her knees, not as deep as it seemed. Stones and silt were piling up under the water, and Ansu groped for the roots of the grass and pulled it out with force, stirring the sediment at the bottom of the water. Suddenly, with a pain in her fingers, she quickly withdrew her hand and picked up a black water snake. The water snake let go of its mouth under Ansu's vigorous swing, flicked its tail and fell down. An Su struck like lightning, slashing the snake in two pieces in the air with one sword, and then pinched one section with one hand. The water snake was not yet dead, and turned its head to bite Ansu, but she pinched its seven inches.

Ansu waded back to the platform, cut off the snake's head, and threw it far away. She raised her hand to look at the spot, and the two tiny tooth marks were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few minutes they were as intact as ever. Ansu quickly peeled off the skin of the snake, which was about two fingers thick, and removed the internal organs, took the plucked grass, and returned to the shelter. (To be continued.) )
