Chapter 42

Alex went to the witch doctor and asked for the herbs Gavin mentioned. The witch doctor told him that he was still missing a few herbs.

Peregrine grass grows in Wangyue Valley and is extremely rare. Picking it depends on luck.

Alex asked the witch doctor about the appearance and preferences of the Peregrine Grass, and then went to Moon-Wang Valley.

After dark, Alex came back.

He handed the geranium in his hand to Gavin: "Are these enough?"

Gavin glanced at it and nodded, and he quickly went to make the medicine.

The bright moonlight shone on the ground of the wooden house, and the man's lips were pale. He watched Gavin feed the concoction to Su Su's mouth, and then he felt relieved, and he turned around and left the wooden house.

Fuya behind her noticed his limping walking posture and said "Hey". Her eyes fell on the man's calf, and she realized that his calf was bloody and bloody, and the bones were vaguely visible inside.

…

Alex went to the witch doctor

The old man applied the medicinal herbs to his wound and asked, "How did you do it?"

The man whispered back: "It was bitten by a spotted hyena."

Spotted hyenas are social animals. They are greedy and cunning. They know how to fight in groups and will not give up until they get their favorite prey.

After Alex arrived at Wangyue Valley, he searched for a long time before he found the eucalyptus beside a hidden cave. He hurriedly ran towards the tribe with the eucalyptus in his arms, but met a group of spotted hyenas on the way.

More than thirty spotted hyenas ran over like wolves and tigers after seeing him. Alex's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly avoided them, but they still chased them.

He was holding a stone knife in one hand and tightly guarding the helix in his arms with the other. One of the female spotted hyenas saw that its companion was hacked to death. It bit Alex's calf angrily and tore off a piece of it.

Flesh and blood, then chewed it twice and swallowed it*.

Witch doctor Kane sighed after hearing this, and warned: "Remember to change the dressing every day, and don't go hunting in the past two days."

Alex whispered back: "I know."

…

The next day, Su Su opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw two more people in the wooden house.

When Gavin saw her waking up, there was a hint of joy on his face, and he asked softly: "How do you feel?"

Su Su put her hands on the bed and sat up: "Much better." She asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Gavin replied: "He went to the Di tribe to find me, and I knew you were sick."

Su Su pursed her dry lips. She looked around and realized that Alex was not there. She couldn't help but ask, "Where is he?"

Gavin lowered his eyes and said nothing. Fuya behind him replied: "I don't know."

After Fuya finished speaking, she noticed that the beautiful woman's eyes fell on her. Looking at her fair and delicate face, Fuya puffed up her chest not to be outdone. Huh, she's not bad either.

Su Su calmly withdrew her gaze and looked out the window.

The sunshine in winter is not as hot and dazzling as in summer, and has a milder meaning. The snow on the ground has not yet melted, and milky white rime hangs on the treetops not far away. Occasionally, a few tribesmen hurriedly walked in front of the wooden house.

go through.

There was a "creak" sound, which was the door of the wooden house being opened suddenly.

Suddenly, the cold wind drifted into the house wantonly.

The person who came was tall, and he slowly walked up to Su Su.

Alex lowered his eyes, and for a moment, his deep and hoarse voice sounded: "Are you awake?"

Su Su raised her eyes and ran into his deep green eyes. The man had just come back from outside and was still carrying the cold winter air.

Seeing him staring straight at her face, Su Su couldn't help lowering her head and replied: "Yes."

At this time, Jie's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Chief..."

Alex frowned, turned and walked towards the door.

Su Su, who was on the bed, inadvertently noticed his awkward walking posture. Looking down, she saw the wound on his leg, and her eyes were suddenly startled.

Jie came to deliver food. He brought some barbecue and a pot of broth and handed them to Alex.

…

Alex threw the roast to Gavin and Fuya, and he sat on the bedside with the broth, as if he wanted to feed her the broth himself.

Su Su looked at the stone pot that was brought to her mouth and held it with both hands: "Thank you, I'll do it myself!"

The man's thin lips pursed slightly. He looked at her silently, then let go of her hand after a while.

Susu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and drank slowly while holding the stone pot.

She had a small appetite and was full after just two sips.

Susu wanted to get out of bed and put the stone pot aside. The next second, the man grabbed her arm and said, "Drink all."

Su Su looked back, looked into the man's calm green eyes and said, "I'm full and I really can't drink any more."

After a moment, Alex took the stone pot from her hand and drank all the remaining broth.

Su Su's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

In the past, Susu's mother taught her not to waste food, so she would eat as much as she could every time she served rice. Sometimes she couldn't finish it, so she would feed it to her grandma's native dog.

She didn't expect that a man would eat her leftovers, which felt strange.

When Gavin saw this, the light in his eyes dimmed. After the two reunited, Gavin noticed that the relationship between Susu and this man seemed to be inseparable, and no one could get between them.

between.

…

The Montes did not build any extra wooden houses.

At night, Alex spread a layer of animal skins on the stone slab for Gavin and others, and let them sleep on the stone slab.

Gavin let Fu Ya sleep on the stone slab, and he planned to spend the night squatting next to the stone slab.

The moonlight poured on the ground of the wooden house, and in the silence inside, you could hear the sound of snow falling on the branches outside.

Susu was lying on the bed. She turned over, and there was about an arm's length between the two of them. She looked at the man's clear jawline.

Alex noticed her gaze and looked over, staring at her flatly, as if asking what was wrong?

After a while, Su Su's red lips parted slightly, and she asked in a low voice: "How did you get your legs done?"

How could it be so badly injured?

Gavin and the others were not asleep either. They opened their eyes when they heard Susu's voice.

Alex's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes flickered and he replied: "I accidentally hurt it while hunting."

His pride didn't want her to know that he was being attacked by hyenas.

Susu frowned after hearing this, and she said "oh", and then whispered for a while: "In winter, wild beasts will be more aggressive if they don't find prey. You should be careful when hunting."

Alex listened to her soft words, a smile appeared in his eyes, and the wound on his calf no longer hurt: "Yeah."

After dawn, Susu sat up and felt that her body was almost healed.

Gavin handed her the concoction and watched her drink it all.

After a while, Su Su got out of bed, wrapped in a layer of animal skin and stood outside the window, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

…

After she recovered, Gavin said goodbye.

Gavin picked up the backpack and looked into Susu's eyes with complicated eyes. He said softly: "You should take good care of yourself in the future. Your body is already relatively weak. Try not to go out when winter comes. Eat more meat on weekdays. Don't always

Eat wild fruits.”

Susu listened quietly and nodded.

Fuya, who was beside Gavin, saw the expression of reluctance on his face, and his words were full of care. This kind of considerate care was something she had never felt before.

They must have had a good relationship before, right?

Fuya felt a little bitter in her heart and turned her back.

Susu stood outside the wooden house and watched the two people's backs. Suddenly, she saw the girl next to Gavin running towards her.

Fuya took a breath, touched the tip of her nose that was red from the cold and said quickly: "The wound on your man's leg was injured when he was looking for medicine for you." After saying that, she quickly followed Gavin.

pace.

A look of astonishment appeared in Su Su's eyes, and for a moment, she slowly walked towards the wooden house.

…

Alex was sitting on the bed changing dressing. He looked up and saw Su Su standing at the door and said casually: "What are you doing standing there?"

Susu's thoughts were still a little confused. She looked at the bloody wound on the man's leg, pursed her lips, and walked over slowly.

She squatted at Alex's feet and helped him clean up the herb residue left yesterday.

Alex paused for a moment. He didn't expect that she would help him apply the medicine. From his perspective, her face had a calm expression, and her hand movements were as gentle as a feather passing through, causing an itch.

The man's eyebrows were smiling, and he felt so happy physically and mentally that his heart was about to fly out.
