Chapter 52: Crisis in the Night
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Li originally wanted to roast the rabbit in the interspace before coming out, but she was afraid that He Yufeng would wake up midway, so she took the marinated rabbit and flashed out of the interspace.
When she came out, He Yufeng was still in the same position as before. Su Li walked forward and reached out to touch He Yufeng’s forehead. It was still as hot as before, and there were no signs of his fever subsiding.
Su Li was not surprised by this. She had encountered many patients who were like this. After falling sick, they would continue to have a fever. After taking the medicine, they could only rely on the patient’s immunity and physical cooling for them to heal.
Currently, He Yufeng’s fever could not be physically lowered. He could only rely on his own immunity to heal.
Sitting in the cave, Su Li had an indescribable feeling. She tilted her head and looked at the cave entrance before getting up and walking out.
“These rocks are not bad!” Su Li said as she stared at the large rocks on the ground.
She moved all the rocks back and blocked the entrance of the cave. In the past, she had competed with her friends to see who was better at building rock walls that were sturdy and not easily destroyed. Every time, she was first.
Su Li looked at her masterpiece and patted her chubby hand. “It’s done. We can stay here in peace now!”
She hadn’t noticed until she’d been sitting in the cave that the entrance was so large and unobstructed. Nights in the deep mountains weren’t that quiet. If they weren’t prepared, they might end up as a wolf’s picnic at night.
It was already completely dark outside the cave. There were also some strange bird cries coming from outside. Su Li was very glad that she had blocked the entrance with rocks just now.
As night fell, the temperature in the cave dropped. Su Li took out the lighter
and lit the dry firewood she had just found. With the help of the flame, the cave was much warmer.
He Yufeng was still unconscious. Su Li roasted the rabbit over the fire.
After a while, the fragrant smell of roasted rabbit came. Su Li sniffed hard, and the saliva at the corner of her mouth almost fell to the ground. This smell was too tempting!
Su Li took the roasted rabbit leg and started eating. As she ate, she commented on the taste of the roasted rabbit.
“There’s no honey and cumin. With these things, it will taste even better!”
After she had eaten and drank her fill, He Yufeng still did not wake up. Su Li changed the medicine on his wound and wet his lips with spiritual spring water.
After doing all this, Su Li leaned against the wall and started to squint. She had to rest well to deal with tomorrow’s matters.
In the middle of the night, Su Li heard wolves howling in the distance.
She couldn’t help but look at the entrance of the cave and realized that a few pairs of green eyes were looking through the gap.
Su Li almost jumped up in fright. There were clearly a few starving wolves at the entrance of the cave.
Due to Su Li’s foresight, the wolves were blocked outside and could not enter. However, they clearly would not give up so easily. After all, the cave emitted the fragrant smell of human flesh. If they could rush in, they could get good food.
Su Li looked at the restless wolves outside and felt a little terrified. She was not sure if she had blocked the entrance of the cave well previously. If the wolves rushed in, they would be finished.
She could hide in the interspace, but what about He Yufeng?
He was a patient now, an unconscious patient. Besides, no one else could enter the interspace except her. She couldn’t just watch as He Yufeng was torn to pieces by the wolves, right?
Su Li thought for a moment. She remembered a book saying that wolves were afraid of fire!
Coincidentally, she had found a lot of dry firewood previously, so Su Li lit a fire at the entrance of the cave.
With the light of the fire, the wolves that were surrounding the cave entrance moved slightly further away, but they did not go far. After all, the smell of human flesh in the cave was very fragrant!
Since the wolf did not leave, Su Li did not dare to let her guard down. She kept adding firewood to the fire, afraid that the wolf would rush in after the fire was extinguished.
Su Li’s eyes were fighting to stay open, and she was yawning non-stop, but she couldn’t sleep!
Oh no, there was not much dry wood left!
Su Li remembered that there was still chili in the interspace, so she entered the Interspace and took out all tne cnill.
Because of this matter, Su Li was worried the entire night. She opened her eyes wider than a copper bell, afraid that the wolves would rush in and eat them if she closed her eyes for a while.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sun rose from the mountaintop.
When the sun shone on Su Li’s face, she heaved a sigh of relief. The wolves outside should have left, right? After all, it was already dawn!
Su Li looked out through the gap and realized that the wolves guarding outside last night had disappeared.
It was really a shocking night. In the past, she would definitely have taken a small video and posted it on her WeChat Moments!
Su Li reached out and touched He Yufeng’s forehead. Realizing that the temperature had dropped a lot, she changed the medicine on his wound.
“What’s wrong with me?” He Yufeng opened his eyes and rubbed his temples. “Big Brother, you’re finally awake. If you don’t wake up soon, we’re doomed!”
When Su Li saw that He Yufeng had woken up, she was so excited that she almost danced to celebrate.
He Yufeng looked at Su Li’s excited expression and was a little puzzled. He had only taken a nap. Why did she look like she had experienced life and death?
Su Li explained, “We got lost after you fainted!”
Lost?
He Yufeng looked up at his surroundings. They were in a cave now. What had happened while he was sleeping?
No, Su Li said that he was unconscious just now!
“How long was I unconscious?” He Yufeng asked.
Su Li stretched out a finger and said, “One night…”
When Su Li heard his words, she rolled her eyes. “We were almost eaten by wolves!”
After Su Li’s explanation, He Yufeng roughly understood what had happened. He was more familiar with this cave. In the past, he had even spent the night here!
Su Li looked at He Yufeng and said, “Do you know the way?
Now, they could only place their hopes on He Yufeng. If He Yufeng did not know the way, they would really be in trouble this time.
He Yufeng nodded and said, “Yes!”
“That’s good.” Su Li heaved a sigh of relief.
She heated up the rabbit meat from yesterday and distributed some to He Yufeng. Then, she took out the washed peaches. This was their breakfast this morning.
Su Li said, “Let’s go down the mountain after we’re full. It’s safer to get home early to prevent such a situation from happening again.”
She did not want to spend the night on the mountain again. After all, it was so dark and there were so many wolves!
He Yufeng nodded slightly to show that he understood. He said, “I’ll have to trouble you to drag me down the mountain today!”
He had tried just now, but he still could not move. Now, he did not dare to entertain the possibility that he might already have become crippled..
