Chapter 5 Chaos Journey to the East No.31 Suffering

Just as I was stunned, Guoer had already grabbed me and held me in his arms, holding my head tightly with his hands, and whispered:

“Hold your breath!”

We sank rapidly in the turbulent water with a lot of bubbles like a stone thrown into the water! Our mouths and noses were immediately blocked by water, and our ears were buzzing and stinging from the water pressure!

Question 5: If you and your best friend are both in danger and you can only save one, who do you hope will survive?

Answer: All!

Am I greedy?

Yes, I am greedy. Especially when it comes to the people around me, I am extremely greedy.

Just as Guoer was pulling me towards the surface, I had already made up my mind! I emerged from the water panting and pushed Guoer away:

"Go save the Premier League! I can swim!"

But Guoer didn't let go.

"No, the current is too fast."

"It doesn't matter, go save him!"

"He was injured and the current was fast, so it was difficult to find him, and even harder to save him."

It was precisely because of his injuries that he would probably pass out when he fell into the water. If he went into shock, that would be even better. As long as he didn't choke on the water, his life would not be in danger. If we hesitated now, there would be no hope! I almost pulled Guo'er's collar and yelled:

"How do you know if you haven't tried? I haven't given up yet, why are you nagging me?!"

Then he tightened his hand and whispered, "Go save him, or I will die in front of you."

Guo'er was stunned for a moment, then stopped and swam away.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again. In a river with rapids, it is not like in a swimming pool. You can swim faster with the power of the water, but more often than not, your pace is disrupted by the uncertain direction of the water. If you don't have enough strength, you will be swept away by the strong river water or hit against rocks. If you encounter a whirlpool, you can basically surrender without being killed...

I was struggling in the water in a panic. Haikou had already been blown, so how could I have the nerve to call for help? I didn’t know how long I struggled in the water. It was not until my strength was drained from my body that I was washed to a more peaceful area. The embankment was right in front of me, but I didn’t have the strength to climb up... At this time, all kinds of reports on newspapers about heroic people who sacrificed themselves to save people were very inappropriate and kept turning around in my mind... In the end, even the debate topic in high school, "Is it worth it for college students to sacrifice themselves to save a 70-year-old man who fell into the water?" came to my mind! By the way, was I on the affirmative or negative side?

Suddenly, my waist felt tight and I was pushed to the shore. I fell to the shore with my limbs limp and gasped for a long time before I came back to life. I half-raised myself and looked around. I found Yingchao lying not far away, soaking wet with his eyes closed. His chest was slightly heaving. He should be fine. Guoer sat between us, facing the river and silently wringing out his clothes... In the end, it was Guoer who saved me. I thought about it a little embarrassedly, and tried to get up and stumbled to sit next to Guoer.

"um. Thank you."

Guo'er said nothing.

I walked around to the front of Guoer, facing his face, and said, "I really want to thank you for saving both of us."

He snorted and turned his face away.

What is this kid doing again ?

No, now my lifesaver is the most important. I quickly pulled his hand in a flattering way, "Are you angry?"

But he stood up quickly, walked towards Premier League, grabbed his collar and dragged him to a dry place!

Come on, he is an injured person after all. This guy is really rude to people who are not within his scope of responsibility...-_-#

Guoer threw Yingchao to the ground and pulled out the dagger from his waist, which scared me! No way, even though I already knew that you didn't like him very much, you didn't have to take advantage of the situation to kill him? !

Guo Er said coldly: "His wound needs to be treated, go and boil some water."

Question 6: How to make fire and boil water in the wilderness where there is nothing?

Answer: See the U.S. Army Survival Manual.

*How to start a fire--

If you don't have matches, lighters, or sparklers, you can use other materials to start a fire, but remember that you need good tinder and a suitable fire. If you have a piece of steel - such as a knife blade - and a piece of flint, you can also create sparks to ignite the tinder. (You can also use a hard stone instead of flint.) Hold the flint as close to the tinder as possible and strike the flint downward with the flint. The spark will fly into the center of the tinder.

There are several ways to start a fire quickly, three of which are relatively easy: cone, single slope, and cross trench.

Cone. Tinder and kindling are piled into a cone shape and the fire is lit in the center. When the center burns out, the outer wood is poured inwards and more fuel is added to the fire. This type of fire will burn well even with wet wood.

Single slope. Insert a fresh branch diagonally into the ground at a 30-degree angle, with one end of the branch facing the wind. Place some tinder (at least a handful) under the inclined branch, as far in as possible. Then place some kindling branches on both sides of the inclined branch. Light the fire, and keep adding more kindling branches after they are burning.

Cross trenches. Dig two cross trenches in the ground, about 1 foot (30 cm) wide and 3 inches (7.6 cm) deep. Place enough tinder in the center of the cross and pile the kindling on top to form a pyramid. The shallow trenches allow air to pass under the fire, creating a draft.

In short, they built a fire, boiled water, pulled out the arrow, treated the wound, dried the clothes, and had dinner. The three of them were exhausted... However, the weather was not good. In the middle of the night, it suddenly rained heavily! The three of them finally got into a dry cave. After a long time of struggling, Yingchao got a fever again.

"What should I do? You're so hot!" I kept changing the wet cloth to cool him down.

"Calm down~" His voice was also hoarse from fever. "Fever is a good thing, it means my body has activated its self-protection system. You see, it's like a group of virus troops rushed in, and the self-defense forces in my body, ah bah, those are the Japanese, I mean, the guards in my body fought bravely against the enemy, the two teams kept killing and killing, and they were so excited~ So I got a fever~ Hehe~ Cough! Cough cough..."

"You are such an idiot..."

Yes, big idiot! He saved a woman he met by chance without knowing his own ability, and even pulled me back from falling off the cliff despite being so seriously injured. Now he has a fever and a cough, but he is still trying hard to say something relaxing to reassure me... Seeing his handsome face flushed with fever and his coughing made me feel distressed, I unconsciously softened my voice and said:

"Stop talking and get some sleep."

"No..." The voice was very weak.

"What?"

“No, there is no pillow.” He looked at me pitifully… I really wanted to strangle him to death! Does this kid understand the situation? !

... Never mind, he is a patient... I suppressed my anger...

"Rest on my legs."

He immediately crawled over to me in high spirits, so fast that I even doubted whether he had a fever. He put his head in my arms and adjusted the most comfortable position, then put his arm around my waist and started to act coquettishly:

"I want to listen to a lullaby~~~~"

"I'll strangle you to death!"

“I’m a patient… Can’t I even listen to a lullaby? Minmin is so cold-hearted… Woohoo… I can’t live in this world… Cough! Cough cough… No, there’s no way… Cough cough…”

"Okay, that's enough. I'll sing for you. Just shut up and go to sleep!"

"Hmm~~" He withdrew his hands from my waist and looked at me lazily with his eyes narrowed, which were unusually watery and hazy due to the fever.

"Ahem! Um..." I cleared my throat awkwardly and glanced at Guo'er who was sitting at the other end of the fire. He was wearing a black suit that was a bit trendy, and it stuck to his skin, outlining his slender and graceful figure like a black panther. At this moment, he was sitting straight and gently rubbing his sword. His face was extremely handsome, but his whole body exuded a cold temperament that kept strangers away, which made him look even taller and more beautiful. It was a pity that the eyes staring Yingchao in my arms were full of murderous intent, which destroyed the overall beauty...

"Sing!" Yingchao's voice suddenly came from my arms. I was actually staring at Guo'er in a daze? I turned my head in panic and missed Guo'er's indifferent gaze on me.

I took a breath and slowly began to sing an old English song from the 70s. Every time I sang it, I felt a sense of loneliness under the bright sunshine...

I'm sitting here in the boring room

It's just another rainy sunday afternoon

I'm wasting my time I've got nothing to do

I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens

And I wonder

I lowered my head and carefully observed the handsome man in my arms. He had a high nose, deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes. When he didn't speak, he looked like a prince from an exotic land. When he opened his mouth, he was a sunny boy next door with a bit of silliness...

I'm driving around in my car

I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens

And I wonder

He is so tall, his shoulders are so broad, but his expression is like that of a large dog, and he can act like a spoiled child...

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see

Is just a yellow lemon tree

He opened his eyes and looked at me, lazily and ruffian, with a naughty and warm smile on the corner of his mouth. His whole body was burning red, and he was sweating densely from his neck to his collarbone . He was very manly and sexy...

I'm turning my head up and down

I'm turning turning turning turning turning aro und

And all that I can see

Is just another lemon tree

The man in my arms was as hot as the sun, and the man opposite was as cold as ice, but they both tried their best to save me. How wonderful it was that this rainstorm trapped three completely different people from different worlds in the same place. The rain outside was smoking, and the fire inside was crackling and noisy. For a moment, I felt a sense of confusion in time and space, as if I had returned to my second uncle's small European-style house, with thick carpets, warm fireplaces, Christmas lights hanging on the walls, and Christmas gifts piled on the sofa, some of which were opened, and some were not... The sound of adults playing mahjong next door came, and we, a group of children, sat on the carpet, playing house, and singing...

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see

Is just another lemon tree

"Hey, close your eyes, it's getting dark..." I whispered. Was it to the person in my arms, or to the one looking at me from a distance? Or was it just to myself...

I'm turning my head up and down

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

And all that I can see

is just a yellow lemon tree

and I wonder, wonder

Yingchao obediently closed his eyes and sang along with my melody. His voice was hoarse, sexy, and lonely...

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

and all that I can see

Is just a yellow lemon tree

After the song was over, the cave suddenly became very quiet, with only the occasional crackling sound of burning wood...
