The boy fell into her arms, and Sang Carp reflexively wanted to push him out, but when he touched his hot skin, Sang Carp found that he had a fever.

Her arm stiffened, remembering that the original owner had also died of a high fever.

"Hey!" She shook the boy's body, "Are you awake?" There's no way I'm going to bring you back to the Horde! ”

However, the boy remained motionless, and even his breathing was tinged with a sense of heat.

Sang Li frowned, looking at him unhappily, not wanting to take over such a hot potato at all.

After screaming a few times, Sang Li helplessly helped him up and took him to the cave where he lived when he first crossed over.

It was close to the water source, and there were no wild beasts, so it was her usual place to stay.

Luckily, the cave wasn't in the tribe and wasn't far from where they were. After the mulberry carp took the lead in putting the basket away, he tied the boy to his body with a straw rope and climbed into the cave with him.

She lit the bonfire, lifted her hand and moved the boy to the hay bed, looked at his dying appearance, sighed in her heart, and went outside to fetch some water.

Lifting the boy's tangled hair, revealing the outline of his yellow muscles, Sang Li vaguely felt that his facial features were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

I guess it's someone the original owner has seen.

Mulberry Carp cooled him down, watched him dry to the corners of his skinny mouth, and poured him two more mouthfuls of water.

For some reason, she didn't know this person, but after hearing his voice, she made some decisions that she had never made before.

For example, help him escape, take him to a cave to cool him down and treat his foot injury.

The mulberry carp wiped his feet clean with animal skins and found that the soles of his feet had broken several deep wounds, some of which were already inflamed.

Sang Li couldn't imagine how he could have escaped the tiger's pursuit under such circumstances.

She boiled water in a stone pot, cleaned him up, and looked at the deep night outside, planning to find some herbs tomorrow.

Not long after, the bonfire warmed the cave, and the mulberry carp moved his position to lean against the corner and quietly closed his eyes.

The next day, the mulberry carp woke up to a burst of whispering.

After the night, the boy's condition was not better, but even worse, his face was flushed, and a low grunt of pain came from his throat.

Mulberry Carp pushed him a few times, and after seeing that he didn't react, he had to go out alone to find herbs for him.

The mulberry carp walked to the river, intending to find some mint and plantain, which are heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs that can help the teenager.

After searching for a long time, she only found Houttuynia cordata and purple flowers.

Mulberry carp did not hesitate, immediately fetched water back to the cave, gave the boy an external dress, and fed him the decoction potion.

I don't know if it was because the method really worked, or if his will to survive was too strong, and it didn't take long for his breathing to become steady.

After the high fever subsided, his face returned to normal.

Seeing this scene, somehow, Sang Carp breathed a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, she took the tiger skin to the river, completely nitrated, and waited for a few more days in the sun, and it was estimated that it would be ready to use.

Sang Carp found the fish basket that she had put down before, and sure enough, there were a lot of fish and shrimp in it, so she neatly put it away and set up a few traps on the river beach.

Until she hits her prey, this will be her main source of nutrition.

Finally, she found some mint and houttuynia cordata, and went to the forest to pick wild fruits, and then walked briskly to the cave.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a low sob. The boy had woken up and was cowering on the hay and weeping.

Hearing the footsteps, his body stiffened, and he raised his eyes in disbelief, and after seeing the mulberry carp, his eyes shot a light of surprise.

"You...... Coming back? He hurriedly wiped away his tears and tried to climb out of bed.

"Don't move," Sang Li walked up to him, looked at his pitiful and embarrassed appearance, and said with a pale face, "Your feet can't walk now." ”

Only then did the young man notice that the soles of his feet were coated with herbs, his fingers were secretly clenched at his side, his eyes followed her tightly, and he was so excited that he was incoherent, "You...... You help me? ”

"Who else but me?" Mulberry carp took out the stone pot, put the processed small fish and shrimp into it, and boiled a pot of soup.

Because there was no seasoning, the cave was filled with the umami of the fish and shrimp themselves, and the boy's stomach was croaking, but his eyes did not look at the pot, but looked at the mulberry carp, and muttered in his mouth: "It turns out that you still feel sorry for me......"

"What are you talking about?" Sang Li looked at him puzzled, "Hungry?" ”

"I'm ......," the boy licked the corners of his chapped mouth, "I'm thirsty." ”

"Wait a while," Mulberry said without raising his head as he looked at the grunting stone pot, "Drink more soup later." ”

Hearing this, the young man covered his eyes and nodded slowly.

After the fish soup was cooked, Mulberry carp first served him a large bowl, "It's not enough." ”

The boy took the stone bowl and looked at the steaming food inside, he did not drink it immediately, but looked deeply at the mulberry carp, the person he had been thinking about in his heart, and finally came close.

The corners of his mouth curled up to smile brightly, but tears crept into the bowl.

This is the most reassuring moment when he comes into this world.

Anyway, he finally saw her.

No matter how much she hated herself now, he would never leave her again.

"What's wrong?" Sang Li, keenly aware of his abnormality, handed him the wild fruit in the basket, "If you don't like to drink soup, you can eat the fruit." ”

"No," the young man took a deep breath and said pitifully, "even after coming to this world, no one has been so kind to me. ”

Sang Li: "......" this person still wants to rely on her, right?

"I just can't see death and not save me," her eyes were slightly cold, and she said without pity: "Don't think that if I help you once, you can rely on me, and when you are healed, leave by yourself." ”

"I ......" the young man's eyelashes trembled slightly, his heart was sour and sad, "What if my injuries keep ......?" Will you be able to stay with her for a long time?

"Let's eat quickly," Sang Li, who didn't hear what he was saying, "after eating, apply another layer of herbs yourself, or your feet will be wasted." ”

"Hmm." The young man nodded obediently and silently finished a large bowl of food.

Mulberry carp had already eaten enough, and distributed all the rest of the soup to him, "I'm going to go out in a while, you yourself are safe in the cave, and I'll come back in the evening." ”

"You...... Where to go? The boy's expression suddenly became panicked.

"Back to the tribe." Sang Carp didn't understand why he was so dependent on himself, they had just met.

"Far from here?" The boy couldn't help but ask, "I...... Can I come with you? ”

"No, you can't." Sang Li looked at him speechlessly, "You are not suitable for walking now, and my tribe is very xenophobic, no one will welcome you." ”

"I ......" the young man was a little hurried, and said unwillingly, "I can wait for you outside." ”

"That's not good," Sang Li took the empty bowl in his hand and refused without hesitation: "I have important things to do, and I don't have time to care about you." ”
