Lu Zhe understood clearly that they were now facing an unprecedented crisis! The more they delayed, the more danger Guo Er would be in! But now, he had to first bring Guo Er to the cliff top for first aid! Fortunately, they were now only a few steps away from the cliff top.
Lu Zhe tied Guo Er to himself, then climbed up, followed closely by Ning Shu climbing up as well!
After climbing up, Lu Zhe didn’t have time to observe the surroundings. He immediately went to take off Guo Er’s clothes! Guo Er’s delicate body shone brightly, but Lu Zhe’s eyes could only see the two blackened blood spots.
At that moment, Ning Shu shed tears sadly, and Lu Zhe’s heart was also stabbed with pain like a knife.
“I’m going to die, right...”
Lu Zhe didn’t have time to answer her. He used the knife tip to cut an x on the wound, squeezed out the blood, then stuffed a handful of wild persimmons in his mouth, and lowered his head to suck the poisoned blood from the wound mouthful by mouthful.
“So embarrassing...”
Guo Er could only let him have his way.
Lu Zhe understood that in order to save Guo Er, they couldn’t waste a minute or a second.
But this snake bite was different from the last one, not only was it closer to her heart, but there was also no way to block the blood flow.
He could only suck the blood from her wound again and again.
Finally, he could only suck out fresh blood.
But looking at Guo Er’s condition, the toxin had clearly entered her bloodstream already.
“Guo Er, how are you feeling?”
Guo Er pouted weakly, smiled faintly, “You...suck pretty comfortably...”
Lu Zhe said painfully, “You know I’m not asking about that.”
“I’m a little sleepy, my chest feels a little stuffy, my whole body has no strength...”
Typical poisoning symptoms!
Ning Shu was extremely anxious, “Lu Zhe, what should we do...”
Lu Zhe understood that at this time, being sad or heartbroken would not solve any problems!
He must calm himself down!
Eyes closed in meditation!
Survival manual...
That's it!
“Class monitor, take care of Guo Er. I'm going to find a way!”
“Where are you going?”
“No time to explain!”
After saying that, Lu Zhe went down the cliff crevice again.
Ning Shu noticed that this time, Lu Zhe didn’t even tie a safety rope.
“Lu Zhe...”
“Class monitor...”
“How are you doing, Guo Er?”
“I... If I die, you guys must take good care of brother Lu for me...”
“Guo Er, you won't die! Really won't...” Ning Shu sobbed, “Lu Zhe loves you so much, he must be able to save you!”
“Who said that, he's always stern with me. Brother Lu loves you the most. Class monitor, if you marry him, I... I only hope that every Thursday of his life, he can say ‘good morning' to my photo. I hope you won't be angry...”
After speaking, a line of tears flowed from the corner of Guo Er’s eyes. Ning Shu had already burst into tears.
“Guo Er, don't say anymore. You'll be fine, you'll live well. We... can't be without Guo Er...”
“Where did Lu Zhe go? I want him to accompany me some more...”
“He went to find a way to save you. Don't worry, he'll be back soon.”
Ten minutes later, Lu Zhe climbed up from the cliff crevice again!
Ning Shu finally felt relieved. She didn’t dare imagine what would happen if she got the news at this moment that Lu Zhe had fallen off the cliff.
Lu Zhe put several clumps of weeds on the ground.
“What kind of grass is this...”
“Nine Deaths Comeback Grass!” Lu Zhe nodded and said, “There is an ancient saying: Within ten steps of poison, there must be an antidote! It seems there is some truth to it. This has some effect against snake venom.”
“Huh?” Ning Shu was a little confused. In her eyes, Lu Zhe's survival skills had always been scientifically rigorous and reliable. What's with the sudden strong martial arts medicinal flavor?
Is it reliable?
But now, they probably could only rely on this herbal medicine.
Lu Zhe put his hand on Ning Shu's shoulder and said solemnly:
“Class monitor, we’ll definitely have to spend the night here today. I need to take care of Guo Er, so many things can only rely on you!”
Ning Shu was startled. She understood.
Today, the burden on her shoulders would be extremely heavy!
—Relying on Lu Zhe before, today I have to become a true survivor!
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand covered in mud and dirt, and nodded firmly, “Okay, you take good care of Guo Er, leave everything else to me!”
“Hmm!”
The two gave each other an affirmative look, then got busy.
What Lu Zhe had to do first was chew the herbs into powder and carefully apply it to Guo Er’s chest wound!
At the same time, Ning Shu took the 30 spike knife and started looking for branches and sticks.
Because they had set off in the afternoon today, night would come soon. She had to get a fire going before night fell.
“Brother Lu, I’m a little cold, can you hug me...” Guo Er said pitifully.
Lu Zhe understood that this time Guo Er was not deliberately being coy. Her body was undergoing tremendous stress.
In addition to detoxification, keeping her in a positive survival mindset at all times would also help get through this ordeal.
He picked Guo Er up and hugged her in his arms, “Guo Er, don't be afraid, brother Lu is always with you!”
Guo Er pursed her lips, “Brother Lu... you're so nice to me today, even if I die, it’d be worth it...”
Lu Zhe said, “Don't think random thoughts, you won't die. My beloved concubine can't be without Guo Er!”
“Really?”
“Yes! Don't talk, don't move around either, I'll go help the class monitor...”
“Lu Zhe, just stay with Guo Er. I can handle it myself!” Ning Shu said firmly, holding the spike knife.
Lu Zhe nodded, “Okay, I’ll leave it to you then.”
At this time, the wind at the top of the cliff was getting stronger and stronger. Guo Er shivered from the blow. Lu Zhe could only hold her behind a downwind tree and try to keep her warm with his body.
Then he felt something cool drill into his clothes.
Was it a snake again?
No, it was just Guo Er's little hand.
Although it was somewhat unreasonable, Lu Zhe still didn't refuse.
He understood that people were not badgers or snakes that would be fine after being poisoned and taking a nap. Staying awake could stimulate a strong will to survive. Once asleep, one might really pass away.
“Alright, but don't exert force. Brother will hurt too.”
Guo Er pursed her lips and smiled, “You... always say I'm your concubine. So can you... kiss me?”
“Hmm...” Lu Zhe lowered his head and gently kissed Guo Er's forehead and lips.
Guo Er smiled sweetly, “I knew it... it feels different from just touching by accident!”
Lu Zhe also smiled, “Yes!”
“Then... tell me the truth, is this... your first kiss?”
When it came to this question, Lu Zhe was stunned for a moment as he thought of that day with Ning Shu on the plateau of Egg Yolk Island.
Guo Er immediately realized something was off, “Ah? No? Who took brother Lu’s first kiss?”
