: Chapter 71

Before starting, Jiang Kuo's hands were shaking, but when he was actually taking the bullet, his hands were very steady, almost digging out the bullet with the fastest speed and the least pain.
But it still hurts.
In the absence of anesthetic, the knife pierced into the meat and turned around to dig out the bullet. Those with weak will can directly pass out with pain.
Jiang Kuo quickly applied the herbal medicine and wrapped it up with a cloth strip: "Alright."
Xie Chian had no strength to take off the clothes he was biting in his mouth, breathing quickly, and his chest was undulating.
"How?" Jiang Kuo asked worriedly.
He didn't know how much effort it took to restrain himself from shaking, he felt that the knife was just as plucked on himself.
Xie Chian turned his head and bit his whitish lip.
Jiang Kuo pointed to the deep tooth marks on his clothes: "You also said no, do you intend to bite your lips?"
Xie Chian raised his eyelids lazily, not wanting to speak.
The young man was leaning against the stone wall with no energy, so weak that Jiang Kuo's heart twitched.
Jiang Kuo sighed, put his clothes on the fire to dry, and put them on again.
The flames jumped in the cave, and the stone walls were shining brightly. Xie Chian leaned against the wall, unbuttoned two shirts, and his exposed shoulder was bandaged.
The semi-wet shirt was close to the body, and the boy's collarbone was deep and weightless. Xie Chian watched the jumping flames, his face stained with water drops showing a look of fatigue.
"Sleep." Xie Chi'an was so weak that Jiang Kuo certainly couldn't ask him to cook again, "I will call you after I roast the meat."
Xie Chian doubted whether Jiang Kuo could cook the meat, but he was so tired that he fell asleep again without saying anything.
Jiang Kuo cut off the venison with a dagger and grilled it over the fire.
Xiaobai smelled the meat and came over excitedly and wagged his tail.
"Don't worry, you have your share, today you are a great hero." Jiang Kuo handed Xiaobai a piece of barbecue, "Here, your reward."
Xiaobai gulped happily.
... and then looked down on the ground with a languid expression.
It is still voluntary labor.
-
Xie Chian was not awakened by the smell of barbecue, he was awakened by a burst of poisonous gas that was suspected of leaking nuclear radiation.
He half-opened his eyes and saw that the string of unknown objects in Jiang Kuo's hand was the source of the pungent smell.
Seeing that he was awake, Jiang Kuo asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something?" Although what he did may seem to be a little bit inferior to An An... but it can fill his stomach.
Xie Chian said weakly: "I hate you or blame you for poisoning me like this..."
Xiao Bai: Secondly.
"Although it smells terrible, it still tastes--" Jiang Kuo said, taking a sip, "...worse."
Jiang Kuo was depressed.
Jiang Kuo didn't think it was unpleasant to cook before, so he did so by himself. But after meeting Xie Chian, he was reluctant to let Xie Chian accompany him.
Anan deserves the best.
Xie Chian pressed the back of his left hand to his forehead, and closed his eyes wearily: "No more, I will continue to sleep."
"Don't sleep against the wall, the wall is cold." Jiang Kuo went to grab Xie Chi'an's hand and had a meal. "Why are your hands so cold?"
When both of them first entered the cave, they were soaked in the sea and rain. It is normal to be cold. After sitting by the fire for so long, Jiang Kuo's hands had warmed up, and only then did he feel that Xie Chian's hands were terribly cold.
Jiang Kuo probed Xie Chi'an's forehead with the back of his hand, which was terribly hot.
Have a fever.
Xie Chian's physical fitness is very good. He can't even catch a cold after jumping into the sea and raining normally, but he was shot.
No one can stand the temperature, but Xie Chian didn't show any abnormality, and didn't say a word except for his mental state.
Xie Chian was too tolerant.
Besides admiring Jiang Kuo's cognition, Jiang Kuo also had a subtle distress.
He knows how strong a teenager is. I never reacted at all when suffering from ordinary skin trauma, and I just frowned when it was so painful. Even if I experienced the pain of digging a bullet, I still gritted my teeth without shouting.
"You can't say it if you feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Kuo couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Xie Chian said calmly: "I can say it so that I don't feel uncomfortable?"
Jiang Kuo choked and said dullly: "Just tell you not to bear it. The cry hurts, and it's okay to cry. I don't laugh at you."
He is not annoyed by Chi An, he is quite annoying himself.
It was his fault that he failed to protect the boy.
Xie Chi'an said: "It seems you blocked my mouth."
Shouting hurts? You have to be able to shout out.
"...That's because I'm afraid you bite your tongue!" Jiang Kuo said, "Don't secretly change your concept. Even if I don't gag your mouth, you won't shout. You kid, you are not honest at all, and it hurts. If you want to die, you just don’t say a word. Didn’t anyone teach you to shout out the pain?"
"No."
The Xie family’s education is to make children strong. It's just that Xie Chian was too strong. Sometimes Xie Shenchu ​​had no choice but to let him vent properly, but Xie Chian was never emotional.
"Then I will teach you now." Jiang Kuo looked serious, "Does it hurt? Say a shout?"
Xie Chian: "...I'm crazy."
"I'm not sick, you have to hold back everything before you get sick." Jiang Kuo, a person who usually doesn't bother to talk, became an old mother after meeting Xie Chian.
Young people seem to be mature, but they are very worrying, and they don't know how to take good care of themselves.
Xie Chian didn't bother to listen to Jiang Kuo again. He was so tired now that he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Seeing that the boy hadn't responded, Jiang Kuo couldn't help lowering his voice when he saw that he had fallen asleep.
"It's said that the walls are cold." Jiang Kuo whispered, "Ask me if I can borrow a shoulder to lean on?"
Jiang Kuo carefully took care not to touch Xie Chian's wound, and took him into his arms.
Xie Chian's body temperature is very cold, and the ice muscle and bones are not like that. Jiang Kuo warmed him with his arms, and finally let him warm up.
The sleeping boy is quiet and well-behaved, with long eyelashes clearly defined, his facial features are as delicate as a bjd doll, pale and not angry.
"It's still so good." Jiang Kuo said softly.
After a while, he said again: "But it's still alive and cute."
After a while.
"Forget it." Jiang Kuo helplessly, "whatever you do."
This night, it rained all night outside the cave. The fire in the cave was dim, and a handsome young man sat on the haystack, resting against the rock wall. The handsome young man lay quietly on his lap, sleeping very quietly. Beside the two of them, there was a white wolf who woke up in the middle of the night, yawned lazily, and then turned to sleep.
-
The sky was bright outside the cave, and the rays of light spilled into the cave through the vines.
Xie Chian woke up and found himself resting on Jiang Kuo's lap, with one of Jiang Kuo's hands still resting on his back.
Xie Chian: "..."
It should be impossible for him to sleepwalk on Jiang Kuo's lap by himself.
Jiang Kuo woke up when Xie Chian moved.
"Ann."
Xie Chian propped up: "It's dawn."
He didn't ask why he would sleep on Jiang Kuo's lap.
Jiang Kuo also assumed that nothing had happened, got up to the entrance of the cave, opened the vine, and put it down again.
"The rain has decreased, but it hasn't stopped." Jiang Kuo walked back, "Let's stay here these few days, you need to heal your injuries. There are twelve people left, and there is still half a month left."
Jiang Kuo reached out and probed Xie Chi'an's forehead again. The heat was still there, but he had receded a lot, and finally let go of his heart.
Xie Chian had just woke up and had a fever again, his mind was not so clear, and subconsciously asked: "Which twelve people?"
"2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 17, 19." Jiang Kuo said, "and us."
It was not easy for Jiang Kuo to remember the number of people still alive and to accurately report the number.
Except for the 9th and the dropped 10th, the top ten are still there, and the remaining half a month is basically a duel between high-end players.
"Almost all of the top ten are alive..." Xie Chi'an pondered.
"Don't worry about them, you only need to stay in the cave to recover for the next five days." Jiang Kuo's tone was beyond doubt.
Although all injuries will be repaired after the game is over, it does not mean that there will be no pain during the game.
"Speaking of No. 2... How did you get out of No. 2 yesterday?" Xie Chian asked.
He fell into a coma after falling into the sea and didn't know what happened afterwards.
"Thanks to Xiaobai." Jiang Kuo said, "Xiaobai, you are telling me, how did Number 2 get out of your hands?"
Xiao Bai: "Ooooooooooooo!"
Xie Chian looked at Jiang Kuo: "Translate?"
Jiang Kuo: "..."
-
For the next five days, Xie Chian and Jiang Kuo retreat in the cave. Jiang Kuo occasionally went out hunting during the day, and it was convenient to get water. He didn't have to go all the way to the creek and just catch rainwater.
I don't know how the weather is set in this game. Maybe it was all sunny in the first half of the month and all rainy in the second half... Anyway, the rain was big and small, and it never stopped.
Thanks to the high terrain of this cave, it will be flooded sooner or later.
The gunshot wound couldn't be so fast, Xie Chian didn't recover much mobility after five days of rest, and his feet hurt when he touched the ground. Jiang Kuo ordered Xie Chian to sit down these days, lying in his arms if he didn't.
Xie Chian chose to sleep on Xiaobai, even at night.
Xiao Bai can be warm.
Except for the first night, Xie Chian and Jiang Kuo didn't have any close contact. Instead, Xiaobai was used as a pillow by Xie Chian all day long.
Jiang Kuo was so angry that he wanted to eat wolf meat for a while, and he kept telling himself that this was a life-saving wolf.
But Jiang Kuo has a special method of revenge. He can force Xiaobai to eat his roasted venison.
Why does Xiao Bai's eyes often contain tears, because a werewolf abuses him every day...
Fortunately, in the next few days, when Xie Chian was in better condition, he would personally barbecue for Xiaobai, which was the only light for Xiaobai in the dark world ruled by Jiang Kuo.
In five days, the 6th, the 15th and the 19th died one after another.
As of November 12, the 20th day of the game, the number of survivors on the island was 9.
