Chapter 72 Awakening
"This is?"
The next day, when several people walked out of the cave door, they were all stunned.
In front of the cave door, there were ten snakes, rats, wolves, and various other beasts of all sizes. They were all bleeding and covered with hoarfrost. They had obviously been dead for a long time.
Several people looked at each other. It could be explained that the pheasants and hares before were fallen to death, but now so many appeared all at once, how to explain it?
Only Ning Xue looked at the tree not far away, where Jiutian was looking at them with sharp eyes.
Ning Xue smiled softly and nodded to Jiutian, turned to look at Guo Hanxiang beside her and said, "Hanxiang, go find some mushrooms."
Guo Hanxiang was startled, then nodded without knowing why, "Okay."
Ning Xue turned around and went into the cave, took out a knife and a chopping board, walked out of the cave, picked up a snake and a small wild wolf, and walked towards the creek not far away.
Zhao Hecheng watched without saying anything, and Hao Yanmei tried to speak several times but said nothing.
They had long felt that something was wrong, but Ning Xue and Guo Hanxiang were tight-lipped and said nothing.
After the two left, Hao Yanmei turned to look at Zhao Hecheng, glanced in the direction of Ning Xue from the corner of her eye, and frowned: "I always feel that something is wrong."
Zhao Hecheng looked indifferent, raised his chin slightly, looked at Ning Xue who was gradually walking out of sight, his eyes slightly narrowed behind the lenses, and after a long time, he said in a calm voice: "It doesn't matter, the most important thing now is to go back."
Hao Yanmei looked at Zhao Hecheng's expression with a smile in her eyes, and said with a rather ambiguous expression: "What, you were hit?"
Zhao Hecheng naturally understood that the shock in Hao Yanmei's words was referring to Ning Xue's honest words to him. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, he took a deep breath, glanced at her lightly, turned around and walked towards the cave.
Hao Yanmei curled her lips slightly. She had always understood the situation among Ning Xue, Guo Hanxiang and Zhao Hecheng.
Guo Hanxiang regards Ning Xue as a goddess, but he will do whatever Ning Xue asks.
Zhao Hecheng has always felt good about himself. Based on his performance in school, he always felt that it was only a matter of time to win over Ning Xue.
As for Ning Xue, she is not actually attracted to anyone, and she doesn't even have a good impression of anyone. What she cares about most is studying medicine.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Hao Yanmei raised her eyebrows and turned her eyes towards Ning Xue.
When Zhao Hecheng walked into the cave, the first thing he saw was Nie Fan in the corner, and his eyes flashed gloomily.
Ning Xue's attitude made him feel depressed at most, but what really made him unhappy was that his self-confidence was hit. He didn't expect that Zhao Hecheng would one day ask for help in such a low voice and be rejected by others, and be trapped here.
Deep in the mountains, I just don’t have the courage to go out alone!
Zhao Hecheng's heart was burning with anger, he frowned and strode towards Nie Fan with a cold look on his face.
Nie Fan's face still had scars scratched by gravel, and he looked a bit ferocious. Zhao Hecheng's expression changed, his fists were clenched, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
Zhao Hecheng's face twitched slightly, and he struggled a few times in his heart. He stared at Nie Fan with an extremely livid face, his brows furrowed and relaxed, and his eyes flickered non-stop.
"Hecheng, what are you doing?" Guo Hanxiang, who walked in with a bag full of mushrooms, asked in confusion as he looked at Zhao Hecheng, who was standing motionless in front of Nie Fan.
Zhao Hecheng's expression changed rapidly, his fists relaxed, he pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "It's okay, I just looked at him and wanted to see if he was someone we knew before."
Guo Hanxiang immediately guessed the meaning of Zhao Hecheng's words, walked in and said: "Definitely not, Ning Xue will not lie."
"That's right." Zhao Hecheng turned his head and his expression became normal.
Zhao Hecheng came over and watched Guo Hanxiang carefully share the mushrooms one by one. He felt aggrieved again, but he still forced himself to reach out and share the wet mushrooms that had just been washed with Guo Hanxiang.
Guo Hanxiang was startled, and looked up at Zhao Hecheng. He saw Zhao Hecheng had his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen due to his glasses.
"Han Xiang, did anything special happen while we were sleeping?" Zhao Hecheng didn't beat around the bush. Firstly, he was disdainful. Secondly, he didn't think it was necessary.
Guo Hanxiang immediately knew that Zhao Hecheng was here to make excuses, but he did know a little more than they did, so he said casually: "I don't know very well. I just know that when the professor walked in, I suddenly lost consciousness."
"What about before?" Zhao Hecheng raised his head and looked into Guo Hanxiang's eyes.
Guo Hanxiang lowered his head, sorted the mushrooms, and said, "I lost my strength. The professor carried me all the way in."
"Carry it in?" Zhao Hecheng was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered the situation at that time, and couldn't help but push up his glasses.
At that time, he was exhausted and had no energy to think, but now that he thought about it, it was really weird.
They were all almost dead from exhaustion, but the professor could carry a person weighing more than 100 kilograms and walk quickly without feeling tired at all.
Zhao Hecheng looked at Guo Hanxiang thoughtfully. Maybe the professor was really special, but he would never believe that "the professor is not a human being".
Before Zhao Hecheng could figure out the reason, Ning Xue and Hao Yanmei walked in carrying a folding pot.
Ning Xue watched Guo Hanxiang and Zhao Hecheng working together, with doubts in her eyes. She put the pot down on the fire place and got up to see Nie Fan.
Zhao Hecheng looked at Ning Xue's back and frowned, but didn't say much.
Guo Hanxiang divided the mushrooms, put them into two pots as Ning Xue said, closed the lids, and started to light the fire.
Ning Xue checked Nie Fan and saw that the injuries in his body had begun to gradually recover and the wounds had begun to scab. She relaxed a little and turned around to add ingredients to the two pots. The other three people had no experience in surviving in the wild.
Not even at home.
Zhao Hecheng watched Ning Xue busy and organized his words in his mind. Since he couldn't go back for the time being, he couldn't be in such a stalemate with Ning Xue.
The other two people also knew that the atmosphere was not right, so they remained silent and did not speak.
Cough~
In this weird atmosphere, a suppressed cough suddenly sounded.
Several people were shocked and quickly turned around to see Nie Fan's chest rising and falling, coughing non-stop, and a stream of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Are you awake?" Ning Xue hurriedly ran over, knelt down in front of Nie Fan's head, and said excitedly looking at his pretty face.
Nie Fan coughed violently, and his internal organs hurt so much that he could hardly breathe. Blood kept pouring out of his throat. He put one hand on his chest and the other on the ground, trying to sit up.
"Don't move," Ning Xue quickly pressed Nie Fan's shoulders and said quickly: "What you vomited is all bruises, and you will be fine after vomiting for a while. Don't move around, your legs are broken, and there are many broken ribs on your body."
Phew~
Nie Fan let out a long breath, gave up getting up, and lay there, panting heavily.
