Chapter VIII
"It's not reluctant, I'm like this, it's better to be tired and fall outside than to wait in the same place and do nothing."
"Well, if you can't stand it, I'll throw you back in the hole."
So the two of them came together to the place where the squirrel usually appeared. Sure enough, there were a few early squirrels who were eating the red fruit carefree.
They crept over, ready to catch one. But they have a keen hearing, and at the slightest movement, they immediately run away.
The two of them caught it for a long time, but they didn't catch any of them, and they were so tired that they were out of breath.
Bai Bi was puzzled, usually Xiao Budian likes to pester Sister Xia Xia, thinking that they are not afraid of people, but now they are obviously not. Finally, a gray squirrel leaves with a red fruit.
"Tree dust, follow that one, it may take us to a place where there is an antidote. ā
After chasing for a short time, Wei Shuchen's eyes became more and more red.
"Shuchen, you can rest for a while."
"Leave me alone, Baibi. There's no time left, we have to hurry, everyone is still waiting. ā
Stunned, what the hell are you thinking? Although time is pressing, if I fall, I am weak, why don't I have to run all the way with you on my back, spare me.
Fortunately, the two of them followed the squirrel for a while to a dense grassland full of red fruits.
"So they live in groups, is the one by the lake just separated from them?" Wei Shuchen sighed helplessly as he walked up to pet a black rhinoceros, "Hey, it turned out to be back to square one, they are eating red fruits just like the one by the lake." ā
It seems to be a little different, the red-eyed black rhinoceros here seems to be more irritable.
"Tree dust, stop!"
Before the words fell, the black rhinoceros suddenly went berserk and knocked Wei Shuchen to the ground, not liking to be touched by humans at all.
"What's going on?"
"Because this is the original black rhinoceros, and its temper is even more irritable than your mother, I'm pretty sure the antidote is here."
Bai Bi picked up Wei Shuchen, looked around carefully, and finally found a few bunches of plants with white flowers.
"Moo Moo ......" The other black rhinos seemed to sense the strange aura and ran towards the two of them.
Wei Shuchen, who was already powerless to fight back, first thought of protecting the people around him, and he wanted to push Bai Bi away. But Bai Bi didn't mean to dodge at all, but blocked in front of the other party.
"Baibi." Wei Shuchen's eyes widened in shock, it turned out that he also had a day of protection.
Just when he thought that he would be attacked by the black rhinoceros, there was a "snap", and the black rhinoceros was forced to retreat several steps by something.
Bai Bi finally saw that the familiar and dazzling thing was a coin, and it belonged to Shi Mingguang!
"I didn't expect to be preempted by the two of you." Shi Mingguang, who came out of nowhere, appeared in front of the two of them in the posture of a savior.
His tone was a little helpless and unwilling, and even his eyes turned red.
It seems that Shi Mingguang was also poisoned.
"The red fruit is not very toxic, but we have been eating it without knowing it, and it slowly becomes highly poisonous. These rhinos are able to maintain their normal state because they eat poisonous fruits, as well as flowers with antidotes. ā
Red fruits and white flowers can fight poison with poison, and as long as you eat the flowers, you should be able to neutralize the toxins in the body. Bai Bi ran over desperately and plucked an antidote with white flowers.
"Tree dust, brace yourself a little and eat it." Bai Bi stuffed the petals into Wei Shuchen's mouth, but the other party had already lost consciousness, and the antidote was difficult to swallow.
Bai Bi's actions just now obviously angered the rhinoceros herd, and they became even more restless, and ran towards the three of them one after another.
Even though he felt very unwell, Shi Mingguang still endured it and kept himself awake. He tossed pieces of shiny coins and knocked the rhinoceros back one by one.
It's a real loser, and although the islands don't need money, you don't have to treat them as stones and throw them out without any distress.
Time was pressing, Bai Bi didn't have time to think about it, so he stuffed the petals and leaves into his mouth and bit them, and then fed Wei Shuchen directly with his mouth.
Bai Bi looked at him intently, until the other party slowly swallowed the antidote: "Finally swallowed." ā
"Ahem." Wei Shuchen slowly regained consciousness, first coughed a few times, and then slowly opened his eyes, "IāI seem to have fallen asleep just now." ā
"You almost scared the hell out of me." The antidote works in time, and the hanging heart can finally be put down.
"Then let's hurry back to the cave." Shi Mingguang had already picked several bouquets of white flowers and held them in his hands.
When the three of them returned to the cave, they found that both the flat-headed man and the bearded man were dead. During their absence, two people died in agony one after another.
Wei Shuchen hurriedly stuffed the antidote into Chi Yin's mouth, but she couldn't swallow it at all because she was unconscious, and it made Wei Shuchen anxious.
"Damn, there's no way for them to swallow it."
"I'm going to mash the antidote."
"Please, Baibi."
It's hard to find an antidote, how can they die here inexplicably? Chi Yin, Teacher Yuan Xuan, Yizhi, Sister Xia Xia, we must live.
After the three of them helped feed the antidote in time, everyone finally picked up a life and survived this life-and-death crisis. Then Shi Mingguang looked complicated, silently took the body out, and buried it in the forest. That's all I can do for them now.
At night, the unconscious people were finally able to sleep comfortably. The bloodshot in the eyes of Wei Shuchen and Shi Mingguang gradually dimmed, and Bai Bi, who hadn't closed his eyes all night last night, lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Wei Shuchen put his coat on Bai Bi and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Bai Bi." ā
The voice is whispered, for fear of waking people up.
Shi Mingguang tested Yuan Xuan's forehead, the fever had subsided, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How's the teacher doing?" Wei Shuchen asked with concern.
"It seems to have stabilized."
"That's great."
Wei Shuchen, who was also tired, slowly closed his eyes, and Shi Mingguang showed a happy smile, even if his body was almost exhausted, he would quietly cheer up and guard.
After Bai Bi woke up, Shi Mingguang said goodbye to him.
"Why? I haven't had time to thank you yet. Yesterday we were attacked by those rhinos, and if you didn't come, the consequences for us would be unimaginable. I suspected that you were leaving, but in fact, I was looking for clues. I don't know what will happen in the future, but if there is someone as good as you, I think everyone will be relieved. ā
I have to admit that after this food poisoning incident, Bai Bi's attitude towards Shi Mingguang has changed dramatically, and so are others, and they will accept each other's joining.
"Bai Bi, it's the first time I've felt like I want to stay, maybe I've always wanted to meet guys like you, but I don't like to live in groups."
After finishing speaking, Shi Mingguang, who had made up his mind, still walked towards the outside of the cave. Just as he was about to step out, his trouser legs were suddenly pulled.
"Che, are you going to follow me, Sensei?"
I saw that Yuan Xuan used all his strength to grab Shi Mingguang's trouser legs, and his body had just recovered, and he couldn't stand up immediately.
"I can't stand you." Although he said that he was very disgusted, Shi Mingguang still carried Yuan Xuan on his back.
"Shi Mingguang, where are you going?"
"Please tell Wei Shuchen, don't die until the next meeting, and you, Bai Bi."
