The night seed exceptionally long.
i Shu ran a fever during the latter part of the night, sleeping very restlessly.
Feng Wei dozed off beside her, gradually waking up to find the person next to her feeling unusually hot.
She was startled and quickly shook Jiang Hai awake. “What should we do? We don’t have any dicine!”
Jiang Hai frowned, suppressing his sleepiness, testing i Shu’s temperature. “Take off your jacket and cover her with it. Wet the vest you’re wearing and use it to cool her forehead.”
“Are you trying to kill ?” Feng Wei retorted quickly.
She realized her mistake only after she spoke, hastily taking off her clothes and following Jiang Hal’s instructions. By the ti i Shu was settled, Feng Wei was drenched in sweat, feeling less cold than before.
She leaned against the fire pit, mustering up the courage to talk to Jiang Hai. “Why didn’t you just kill on the boat? Why did you agree to take along to escape?”
Jiang Hai glanced at her, his tone cold. “Master Si wants your life, so you must stay alive now.”
Feng Wei imdiately shut her mouth.
She thought that she would hear a slightly warm answer, but on careful thought, such an answer seed to fit his setting.
This person gave him the feeling that he was cold and without any warmth. Of course, the words coming out of his mouth would only make people feel bone-chilling.
“I truly regret what I did. I’m helping take care of i Shu now, aren’t I? Can’t you spare this ti, considering my repentance? After all, it wasn’t but…”
Before she could finish, Jiang Hai shot her a fierce glare, causing Feng Wei to swallow her words and mutter, “Whether 1 die early or late, I’ll still die. But dying at your hands is better than being abused by those people. I just haven’t had the chance to get revenge on i Cheng yet, and 1 feel sowhat unwilling!”
“You talk too much.” Jiang Hai impatiently looked at her. “If you wake i Shu up, go outside!”
This ti, Feng Wei finally quieted down obediently.
Throughout the night, she was forced by Jiang Hai to keep shuttling back and forth to the beach to wash the vest. By dawn, i Shu’s fever finally subsided.
Feng Wei slumped against the wall, too tired to speak a word. Even moving felt like her body was falling apart.
As the first rays of morning light stread in, i Shu finally woke up in a daze.
Jiang Hai’s tense heart finally relaxed upon seeing her awake. As she attempted to get up, he quickly pressed her back down. “Don’t move yet. You had a fever last night, so you must rest properly today. We don’t know how long we’ll be here, and if you keep getting sick, your wounds might worsen.”
i Shu understood the seriousness of the situation.
She obediently lay back down and took the item that had been heated by her own body off her forehead, hesitating. “Is this Feng Wei’s clothing?”
Jiang Hai replied indifferently, “1 woke her up to change your dicine.”
With that, he didn’t hesitate and went straight to Feng Wei, kicking her leg.
Startled awake, Feng Wei instinctively scread, then realized they were now taking shelter in a cave, not on the ship where lives were at stake.
“What’s going on?” She had just woken up and was evidently confused.
Jiang Hai said expressionlessly, “Go get the herbs from yesterday to change i Shu’s dicine.”
So, her life was spared only for the convenience of taking care of i Shu!
Feng Wei gritted her teeth in hatred. But being in such a situation, and feeling a bit guilty, she couldn’t retort. She got up obediently and did as she was told.
Jiang Hai went out of the cave, to gather food for the three of them.
Luckily, he had prior experience surviving in the wild, knowing what could be eaten and what couldn’t. After Feng Wei helped i Shu change her dicine, he returned with plenty of food.
The three of them ate hastily, and as i Shu felt a bit better, she leaned against the stone wall, handing her clothes back to Jiang Hai. “You should wear these. With so much sweat on your body, you’ll easily catch a cold if you’re exposed to the wind. I’m fine now, but I can’t take care of both of you at the sa ti. If you fall ill, we might all be in trouble.”
Jiang Hai assessed her condition and accepted the clothes, wearing them.
Feng Wei had already dried her vest by the fire and now felt like taking another nap in her warm clothes.
However, i Shu unexpectedly spoke up, “We’d better not all fall asleep. You both had a hard night yesterday, so it’s your turn to rest. I’ll keep watch outside.”
“Master Si will probably co soon.”
Jiang Hai wanted to remind her not to be too nervous.
In his view, Lu Si might not arrive later than the other group, and by now, Si was probably aware that Miss Su was behind it all. He would surely find ways to pressure her so she couldn’t continue chasing after them.
But i Shu knew very well that a fierce battle was about to unfold..
