Stranded with the Goddess
I kept sucking until the blood I spat out was bright red, then I stopped. I looked up at Zhang Xi'er, her little face was so red it seemed like blood would drip from it. "Is that enough now?" I took the coconut water gourd Lin Xian'er handed over and rinsed my mouth. "Thank you for saving Xi'er," Lin Xian'er thanked me. I glanced at Lin Xian'er and noticed that her gaze towards me was actually very gentle, a stark contrast to her previous cold demeanor. "What's next after the poison blood is drawn out?" I asked Lin Xian'er. Lin Xian'er untied the vines on Zhang Xi'er's thigh, felt her pulse, and said, "As long as she doesn't have a fever tonight, she'll be fine." Wang Yan asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure?" "Although I am a surgeon, I also have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine," Lin Xian'er replied. I carefully carried Zhang Xi'er into the cave, and Lin Xian'er fed her a little water while observing her condition. We sat by the fire outside the cave, holding roasted fish in our hands, but without any appetite, except for Jiang Dandan, who was eating the roasted sturgeon heartily. An hour later, Lin Xian'er came out of the cave with a frown, and everyone turned their attention to her. "How is Xi'er?" Wang Yan asked anxiously. Lin Xian'er shook her head and said, "Xi'er's condition is very bad, she has started to have a low fever, now we can only find some herbs." Wang Yan and Xia Lan were instantly stunned, and my heart also sank to the bottom. Who knew about herbs, and where could we find them? Suddenly, Wang Yan grabbed my hand and said excitedly to me, "What should we do?"
“We must save Xi'er; she's only twenty years old.” As she spoke, tears actually welled up in the corners of Wang Yan's eyes. Suddenly, Lin Xian'er said, “I'll go look for herbs. My family has taught me; I know how to identify them.” It was already dark now, and the jungle at night was absolutely the most dangerous. Many creatures that hide during the day and come out at night were active at this time, such as scorpions, centipedes, spiders, venomous snakes... “No, you can't go now. If you have to go, it should be during the daytime tomorrow. I will accompany you tomorrow!” I thought, looking at Lin Xian'er very firmly. At this moment, Jiang Dandan spoke, but her words shocked all of us. “Are you all fucking crazy? Risking your lives for someone who is about to die? Now we have food and water; isn't waiting here for rescue the smartest choice? Are you really willing to take risks for someone you've only known for a few days? Is it worth it?” Wang Yan glared at Jiang Dandan with extraordinary anger and said, “Jiang Dandan! How can you be so cold-blooded!” Jiang Dandan snorted disdainfully and pulled out an ID card from her pocket, tossing it onto Wang Yan's face. “Take a look for yourselves!” Wang Yan opened the ID card, which bore the five characters ‘National Security Bureau.’ Jiang Dandan continued, “There must be government officials on our plane! Otherwise, why would there be people from the Security Bureau on the plane?” Seeing the ID card in Wang Yan's hand, Xia Lan immediately became excited and said, “Based on what you're saying, whether it's the state or the airline, they won't give up the search and rescue!”
Jiang Dandan said proudly, 'That's for sure. Even if the search and rescue team encounters an accident, they will continue to send out rescue teams to look for the plane. Now, staying here quietly and waiting for rescue is the smartest choice!' I couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to refute, 'No, we must save her!' Jiang Dandan snorted and looked at me, 'Lu Yuan, you don't have the right to make decisions for others!' As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xian'er directly stated, 'I am a doctor, I must save her!' Wang Yan said, 'If the poisoned person were me, I wouldn't want you to give up on me. Xi'er is only twenty years old, in the prime of her life, it would be too tragic for her to die like this.' Xia Lan didn't speak, she just let out a soft sigh. Jiang Dandan looked at us very unhappily, and suddenly turned her gaze to me. 'Lu Yuan, anyone can go, but you absolutely must not!' Hearing Jiang Dandan's words, I was stunned. When did she become so concerned about me? Wang Yan couldn't stand Jiang Dandan's unreasonable behavior anymore, she pointed at Jiang Dandan and shouted, 'Jiang Dandan, you stand by and watch someone die, are you even human!' After Wang Yan finished scolding, Jiang Dandan's body was trembling, her complexion was terrifyingly dark. Suddenly she moved, she pulled out a pistol from behind her waist, and aimed the dark muzzle at me! I was startled, the dark muzzle was like a venomous snake ready to strike, and my heart was in turmoil fearing that Jiang Dandan would accidentally fire. 'Jiang Dandan! Don't be impulsive! Let's talk this over calmly!'
Jiang Dandan started screaming at me hysterically: 'Lu Yuan, what am I supposed to do if you're dead? Who will find me food? Who will find it for me!' I could feel that Jiang Dandan's emotions were starting to get out of control, her hand holding the pistol was shaking. I was scared just looking at her; if the gun accidentally fired, I would be done for. 'Jiang Dandan, let's talk this over calmly, put the gun down first!' I pleaded with Jiang Dandan. 'Dandan! Don't be impulsive! Put the gun down first,' Xia Lan also nervously comforted Jiang Dandan. 'Jiang Dandan, we can talk this through, if you accidentally fire the gun, how can Lu Yuan find you food and water?' Wang Yan also carefully persuaded her.
