Chapter 144 Cave
Pei Yi had just had surgery on one of his shoulders. When Xie Zhichan saw that there was a deep pool at the bottom of the cliff, she took Pei Yi into the space for the last time, put waterproof tape on his wound, and warned him not to be her human meat cushion again. After entering the water, he had to wait for her to drag him ashore and not to show off his strength, otherwise the wound might split open, and if he soaked in the pool water again, it would most likely become inflamed.
Pei Yi had no choice but to agree.
Xie Zhichan finally dragged Pei Yi ashore, exhausted. The two of them lay on the grass by the pond to catch their breath, grateful for having survived the disaster.
After resting for a while, Xie Zhichan pulled Pei Yi up and said, "Let's find a place to spend the night first. I still have to treat your wound again."
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Not far from the pond, they found a cave. Xie Zhichan helped Pei Yi into the cave.
This cave was formed naturally. It is relatively dry inside and there are no signs of other wild animals living there. It looks relatively safe.
After making sure that the cave was safe, Xie Zhichan couldn't wait to take Pei Yi into the space. He tore off the waterproof tape on his wound, and seeing that the wound was still bleeding, he cleaned the wound again, disinfected it, applied medicine, and wrapped it with clean gauze.
Pei Yi's clothes were all wet in the pool water, and he was injured and could not wear wet clothes. Xie Zhichan took out a white coat and gave it to Pei Yi to wear. Fortunately, her white coat was large in size, so it fit Pei Yi well.
Only then did he take Pei Yi out of the space.
Pei Yi looked at the surgical gown he was wearing and asked Xie Zhichan, "Do people in your place wear clothes like this?"
Xie Zhichan looked at Pei Yi wearing a white coat and an ancient bun. He looked like an actor in costume ready to start work at any time. Thinking that he had an empty crotch, he felt that the uniform was sexy and seductive.
She coughed lightly to dispel the inappropriate thoughts in her mind and said, "The meaning of surgical gowns is that only doctors wear such clothes."
Pei Yi said "Oh".
Xie Zhichan glanced at his wet clothes. The temperature at the bottom of the cliff was much lower than that in the forest. He didn't know what the temperature would be at night. Keeping warm was the first issue that needed to be addressed.
She said to Pei Yi, "Wait for me in the cave. I'll go out and collect some firewood."
Pei Yi immediately stood up and said, "Ayuan, I'll go with you."
Xie Zhichan refused, "Your wound has been soaked in water. It's windy at the bottom of the cliff. If you go out and get some fresh air, you'll have a high fever at night, which will be troublesome."
Pei Yi frowned slightly: "But no one has been coming to the bottom of this cliff for many years. I'm worried that there will be wild beasts."
Xie Zhichan said with a serious face: "I will protect myself. Remember, I hate people who don't listen to the doctor's advice the most."
When Pei Yi heard Xie Zhichan say this, he knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter, so he could only respond, "Okay. Then you should be careful."
Xie Zhichan agreed and left the cave.
Pei Yi stayed alone in the cave, sitting on a big rock to rest for a while, and then looking out of the cave entrance for a while.
I just feel that I have never felt time passing so slowly.
Just when he was about to rush out of the cave with worry, Xie Zhichan finally came back with a bundle of firewood.
She threw the firewood on the ground, took out the tinder from her and Pei Yi's pockets, and found that they were all wet.
Pei Yi saw that there was no fire-making tool, so he said, "I'll make a fire by drilling wood."
Xie Zhichan glanced at Pei Yi and asked, "Are you sure your arms can make fire by drilling wood now?"
Pei Yi pursed his lips. His wound would definitely not allow this, but rubbing two sticks together to make fire would often make one's arms sore and tired, and he didn't want A Yuan to take care of him, a grown man, so tired.
Seeing Pei Yi's awkward look, Xie Zhichan said with a smile: "Why do you have to be so embarrassed? I have a simpler way, and it can also show you how broad human wisdom is."
After saying that, she reached into her sleeve and took out a magnifying glass from the space. Then she walked outside the cave, found a large dead leaf, grabbed some small dry conifers, put them in the dead leaf, and rolled the dead leaf towards the center.
She walked to the rare sunlight that fell on the bottom of the cliff, found a stone to sit on, held the end of the dead leaf in one hand and held a magnifying glass in the other. She saw that the sunlight passed through the magnifying glass and focused into a small bright spot on the conifer wrapped in the middle of the dead leaf.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, white smoke began to emerge from the conifer, followed by red flames.
Xie Zhichan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Pei Yi, his eyes full of "Did you see it?". Holding the tail of the dead leaf, he quickly moved the fire to a position not far from the cave entrance, broke off a handful of thin dead branches and placed them on it. After the fire was burning, he put a thicker dead tree trunk on it.
The fire was lit.
Pei Yi sat down next to the fire, like a studious student, picked up the magnifying glass next to Xie Zhichan and asked, "Ayuan, what is this? Why can it make fire?"
While adding firewood to the fire, Xie Zhichan explained to Pei Yi the principle of using a magnifying glass to make fire. Seeing Pei Yi's expression as if he had opened the door to a new world, he once again sighed in his heart that human wisdom is indeed vast and boundless.
Xie Zhichan let Pei Yi play with the magnifying glass in the cave, and went out of the cave to cut some branches. He set up a wooden rack next to the fire, took off his outer and inner clothes, and hung them on the wooden rack together with Pei Yi's wet clothes to dry by the fire.
Pei Yi came out of the cave with a magnifying glass, tried to make a fire, put out the fire, and entered the cave. He saw Xie Zhichan sitting by the fire with her knees hugged, with only a thin inner garment left on her petite body.
Because it is summer, the inner clothes are all made of gauze. When it gets wet, it sticks to the body like a layer of transparent gauze as thin as a cicada's wing. There is not much difference between wearing it and not wearing it.
Moreover, she was at the age of a young girl, her body developing more maturely and gracefully. Just sitting next to the fire, illuminated by the bright light, her whole body was full of alluring temptation.
Pei Yi couldn't help but look away after just one glance. When he realized that his body was restless uncontrollably again, he had to lower his head and walk to the fire and sit a little further away from it.
Xie Zhichan naturally knew why Pei Yi suddenly felt so awkward, and he just wanted to complain in his heart. Both of them were in such a life-or-death situation, but Pei Yi's mind was still full of love?
Men, huh—
Xie Zhichan pretended not to see Pei Yi's embarrassment. After his inner and outer clothes were dry, he stood behind the wooden rack where clothes were hung out to dry. He took off his inner clothes and put them on to dry. Then he put on his inner and outer clothes and stood up and said to Pei Yi, "I'm going to go out to find something to eat. Change your clothes when they're dry. It's cold in the cave. Don't catch a cold."
Only at this moment did Pei Yi dare to look up at Xie Zhichan. He responded, then followed the doctor's instructions and began to wait anxiously in the cave again.
It was almost dark when Xie Zhichan came back. In one hand she was holding three processed fish, which were big and plump, and in the other hand she was holding a wet undershirt. She was only wearing a dry outer garment. The bottom of her skirt was half tied up and pressed against her belt, using it as a makeshift cloth bag. It looked heavy, and no one knew what was in it.
Two slender white legs were completely exposed from below the knees.
Pei Yi just felt that A Yuan today was like a tempting peach to pick, and he was a little afraid that he would not be able to help but make a mistake.
So he found a slightly flat stone, lay down on his side, and prepared to take a nap.
Xie Zhichan refused to let him sleep. He walked behind him, poked his back and said, "Eat first, then I'll take you to sleep in the space. It's better than the environment outside."
Pei Yi had no choice but to continue to endure it and turned over.
Xie Zhichan found an empty stone and put his clothes down. Inside was a lot of wild fruits. There were several kinds, and Pei Yi could hardly name them.
Xie Zhichan picked out a slightly larger one that looked juicier and gave it to him, saying, "Your body needs to replenish water. This one is for you to eat first."
Pei Yi took the fruit and ate it, watching Xie Zhichan skillfully place the cleaned fish on a wooden stick, roast it over the fire, and turn it from time to time. He didn't know whether the fruit in his hand was sweet or not, he only knew that the person in front of him was glowing.
Xie Zhichan handed the grilled fish to Pei Yi. Seeing that he was staring blankly, he reminded him, "Why are you staring blankly? Eat something quickly. Only by eating can you recover and find a way out."
Pei Yi obediently took the fish, tore off a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted surprisingly good.
He couldn't help but ask, "Ayuan, have you ever lived in the wild before? How come you are so good at grilling fish?"
