Chapter 16: Searching for Medicine in the Jungle

Jiang Dandan not only did not listen to the persuasion, she yelled at me with a pistol: "I don't care! Lu Yuan just can't go! Whoever me will shoot him! ”

I swallowed my spit, and Jiang Dandan's emotions had begun to get out of control.

A pampered eldest lady in the city was stranded on a desert island, and time squeezed her reason to the brink of collapse bit by bit, and now my insistence on saving Zhang Xi'er became the last straw that crushed her.

The few women who survived were not stupid, and after these few days of tempering, they must all know it in their hearts now. A desert island shrouded in the law of the jungle, a few of them will not live long with a few weak women, and now I am their only support.

At present, appeasing Jiang Dandan is the top priority.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going, we're not going, no matter Zhang Xi'er." I showed weakness to Jiang Dandan.

Suddenly, Jiang Dandan looked at me and laughed maniacally, and she went up to my crotch and kicked it.

A heart-piercing pain instantly spread throughout my body, and I knelt down holding my pants/crotch.

"I/you......" I couldn't help but curse, but before I could finish scolding, Jiang Dandan put the pistol against my head.

Syllable! Syllable!

Jiang Dandan raised his hand and slapped me twice.

"You scold! You're scolding! There's a kind of scolding! ”

Grass! This woman is completely insane! Gotta find a chance to take her gun!

"Dandan!" Xia Lan suddenly shouted.

"Don't call me!" Jiang Dandan turned his head and yelled at Xia Lan.

Golden opportunity!

I endured the pain, grabbed the pistol and raised it into the sky, and at the same time raised my leg and slammed it Jiang Dandan's stomach.

Bang!

Jiang Dandan's gun went off, and she was also kneeling down with my knees until her stomach hurt, and she let go of the pistol with a weak body.

I took off the magazine of the pistol, and I was relieved, I was really scared to death, this crazy woman actually kicked my pants/crotch, if it weren't for Wang Yan and them, Lao Tzu would have let you know what a man is!

I snatched the pistol, and the crisis was successfully resolved, Wang Yan and Xia Lan rushed up and held Jiang Dandan down, Lin Xian'er brought the vines in time, and we worked together to tie up Jiang Dandan.

"Lu Yuan, you bastard! Bastard! You're a liar! Jiang Dandan scolded me while struggling.

I looked at Jiang Dandan with a cloak, Wang Yan, Xia Lan, and Lin Xian'er who were exhausted, and then I thought of Zhang Xi'er in the cave, and a heavy emotion came to my heart.

These five beautiful women, who were supposed to live a life of food and clothing in the city, have now fallen here, and now one of them has gone crazy, and I don't know who will go crazy next, and I, as the only man here, suddenly feel heavy on my shoulders.

......

Early in the morning, the sun rises in the east. Today is the fifth day we have been on the desert island, and last night Xi'er was dehydrated from a persistent low-grade fever.

Now Lin Xian'er and I packed up our things and prepared to set off to find herbs.

Before leaving, I used an army-green plastic suitcase to carry a full box of mountain springs for Wang Yan and them, which was enough for the four girls to drink for three days. I picked some more coconuts and had plenty of food and fuel reserves. I took the lighter away, and asked Wang Yan and the others to take care of the fire.

When everything was ready, I set off with Lin Xian'er.

Wang Yan and Xia Lan watched us walk into the dense forest. I beat the grass with branches in front of me to clear the way, and along the way I carved marks on the poles with my saber.

"Where do we go to find herbs?" I asked Lin Xian'er.

"Judging from Xi'er's condition, there is residual snake venom in the body, and we need star anise, duck plant, and seven-leaf flower, which are three herbs that clear heat, detoxify and reduce swelling."

Lin Xian'er said as she walked, she was completely giving me the knowledge of popular science and traditional Chinese medicine.

The herbs that Lin Xian'er said were all yin-loving, and the deeper you went into the dense forest, the greater the chance of discovering herbs.

We stopped and walked and came across a dense bush area, so Lin Xian'er stopped to look for it, and then the morning passed like this.

Lin Xian'er and I hastily finished lunch and continued to hurry, as time goes by, Xi'er's situation may get worse and worse, we must find herbs as soon as possible and go back early.

The further west we went, the thicker the trees became, and the thinnest old tree needed to be hugged by two people.

The branches above us blocked the sky, squirrels jumped up and down the trees, woodpeckers pecked at the poles, and many unknown birds chirped. The ground was intertwined with bare/bare roots, and there were many fewer bushes, more mushrooms and dead leaves.

Along the way, Lin Xian'er picked more than a dozen useful herbs, but the three that Xi'er needed so far have not found one, and several times I almost took the wrong direction, but fortunately, Lin Xian'er found it and pointed it out to me in time.

As I walked, I smelled the water from the air I breathed, and I sniffed it carefully.
