Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 42 Medicine and Speculation
The water in Tianshui Village is not sweet, it got this name only because of the existence of Kushui Village.

However, there is a kind of fish in Tianshui Village that has many bones and is not very tasty. However, poor people don't care about so many things, so they just catch it anyway.

Every year, Weixi's mother would put her in a wicker basket and take her to the river to collect grass. When the weather was warm, Weixi would go into the water to catch this kind of fish and bring it back to her mother in the evening to make fish soup.

The river water gently lapped against the soles of her feet, just like it was now.

But she wasn't catching fish, she was in a secret place.

Wei Xi had a splitting headache and her five senses were returning to normal. Her clothes were soaked and stuck to her body, making her feel cold. She ached in many places, especially in her right arm.

She tried to move her right arm, and sure enough, the bone must have been broken.

Wei Xi forced himself to open his eyes, and what he saw was the flowing river of stars.

She sat up slowly and looked around.

Qin Feng was lying face down not far from Wei Xi. He could vaguely see a red spot on the back of her Taoist robe, and the blood was diluted into a light pink by the pouring lake water.

Wei Xi climbed up from the riverbank somewhere. The palm of her left hand hurt, probably because she had been holding the dagger tightly when she was swept into the current.

Wei Xi was still staggering as she walked, her right arm hanging unnaturally, but she still tried to move to Qin Feng's side as quickly as possible.

As he got closer, Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Feng's body was slightly heaving, so he must have just fainted.

Wei Xi checked the wound on Qin Feng's lower back. The wound was relatively smooth, probably caused by a sharp stone in the river.

Worried that Qin Feng might have trouble breathing, Wei Xi tilted Qin Feng's head.

There was another Lian Gou Xie. Wei Xi raised her head and searched again. The three of them were swept away by the broken dam and the Lian Gou Xie should be nearby.

Lian Gou's bright red underpants played a great role. Wei Xi was speechless and covered the bright red underpants with the hem of his clothes.

Wei Xi was just about to wake Lian Gouwei up when he saw a blue ball coming out from under Lian Gouwei's left hand which was pressing on his chest.

Lingyin's fur was all wet and she was very unhappy. When she saw Weixi, she just barked, then crossed her legs and sat on Lian Gou'e's chest to act like a spoiled child.

Wei Xi thought that the little beast Lingyin was in great danger, so she reached out and put Lingyin on top of her head. The latter became even more unhappy when she saw the wet Doudou.

"Cough, cough, cough" Lian Gouqie coughed out the water. He opened his eyes in shock and saw Wei Xi with an expressionless face. He almost choked the water back.

"Wei Xi?" Lian Gouqie called Wei Xi's name. Wei Xi was afraid that he couldn't see clearly, so she nodded slowly.

"Where is this?" Lian Gouye struggled to get up. "Can you give me a hand?"

Wei Xi pointed to his right arm. Lian Gouqie took one look and knew that he could not rely on Wei Xi. Fortunately, Wei Xi did not have any serious injuries, only a cut on his forehead, which did not prevent him from getting up from the ground.

"Qin Feng, did you see that?" Lian Gouqie had already realized the fact that he was not as important as Qin Feng in Wei Xi's heart, and he was sure that Wei Xi came to him only after he had settled Qin Feng.

Wei Xi and the other person turned back to find Qin Feng, who was lying on the ground. "She's injured and needs to stop the bleeding."

After saying that, Wei Xi took out the medicine prepared by Qin Feng from the cloth bag on Qin Feng's waist and poured it on her wound.

Just as Qin Feng said, this medicine was extremely painful to apply. As soon as the brown powder touched the whitened wound, Qin Feng twitched twice.

In this situation, Qin Feng was awakened by the pain.

Lian Gouqie, who was on guard at the side, was secretly frightened and thought that he should not use the bottle of medicine on him casually.

"Wei Xi? Are we still alive?" Qin Feng had lost a lot of blood, and she had been frozen in the water for too long, so her lips were blue and purple.

Seeing her like this, Wei Xi softened his voice, "You're still alive. You're injured. I've already given you medicine." "It's good medicine." Qin Feng didn't know if it was from the pain or the cold, his whole body was shivering, "Am I seriously injured?"

Lian Gou Xie stretched his neck to take a look, and saw that the wound had indeed stopped bleeding. He decided to keep the medicine to save his life even after leaving this damn place.

"There's a knuckle-deep wound on the lower back, with no bone visible. The bleeding stopped after applying medicine." Wei Xi knew that this wound wouldn't kill Qin Feng, so he told the truth.

Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded weakly.

"Excuse me," Lian Gouqie took the opportunity to interject, "Let's enjoy the night breeze for a while longer, or we'll get the flu soon."

He was right. Just look at the moon and you can tell it's still some time before dawn.

Moreover, the three of them were in such a state that they were not only exhausted but also injured. If they caught a cold, they would be in great danger.

Fortunately, the broken lake water washed them along the river to a river beach.

This river beach has many pebbles and the terrain is flat, which looks like a section of the river where the water flows slowly. It is precisely because of this that the three people were washed onto the river beach.

There was also some driftwood stranded there. Wei Xi and Lian Gouqie, wearing their wet clothes, gathered a pile. Since Qin Feng couldn't move, they piled the firewood near her.

The cloth bag on Qin Feng's body was the only one that survived. There was a water-soaked bun in it, but the fire starter was no longer usable.

Lian Gou thought that what he took out by drilling wood was not fire, but most likely tomorrow's sun.

Just as he was feeling worried, Wei Xi chanted a spell, and a dozen small flames fell on the wood, lighting the fire.

Vegetables are vegetables, uses are uses, after all, he is a cultivator, Lian Gou Xie thought.

With the fire, the night would not be so difficult to endure.

Lian Gouqie originally wanted to let Wei Xi, who had injured his arm, rest while he kept watch all night. Unexpectedly, Wei Xi said he would take Qin Feng with him at dawn, and as the main force, he also needed to rest. In the end, the two of them each kept watch for half the night.

By daybreak, the bruises on Qin Feng's lips had faded, and he felt much better.

A half-dry bread could not feed three children over ten years old. The three of them just fooled their own stomachs and set off.

"Put more food in that bag of yours next time," Lian Gou said regretfully as he walked, thinking of the pheasant the three of them had lost. "You can already hold such a big bow, so you don't need a bite of food anymore."

Although the bleeding from Qin Feng's wound had stopped, he still had difficulty walking. He could only half-lean on Lian Gouwei and support him as he walked.

Hearing this, Qin Feng coughed twice and said weakly, "The Qiankun bag doesn't have the function of preserving freshness. If you put so much in it, it will go bad."

"Wei Xi," Qin Feng had a question in her mind. She looked at Wei Xi, who was holding a dagger in her left hand, and asked, "I don't understand how we escaped."

Lian Gouqie thought of the miserable scene of being hung on the stone wall in the first half of the night yesterday, and a chill ran down his heart. He could guess something from Wei Xi's words and actions, but there was no harm in listening.

"The stone wall is the palm of your hand," Wei Xi's voice was a little weak, probably because Lingyin was hungry. "The red rope that dragged us over is the palm print."

"The red rope that dragged us over here can be stretched, but it can't be cut." Qin Feng's eyelids twitched, remembering his reckless sword move. Wei Xi continued, "After being hung up, the red ropes on our feet can't be cut, and they can't be stretched or retracted."

"But the red rope that ties the dolls can be stretched." The three of them imagined the scene of the dolls climbing down the constantly stretching red rope.

"You mean," Lian Gouqie said after careful consideration, "after being hung up, the red rope that bound us was equivalent to the shape of the palm...?"

Seeing that Wei Xi didn't deny it, Lian Gouqie became more certain and continued to express his guess, "So you used the big doll to play tug-of-war with the stone wall. If the stone wall collapsed, we could escape. If the big doll lost, we could still have a chance of survival?"
