[3] Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

Ch 556: Danger

As soon as Su Xiaolu fell asleep, her consciousness automatically sank into the Space to recuperate.

When the waves hit him, Zhou Zhi was woken up by the cold.

Zhou Zhi opened his eyes and saw that it was already dusk. He coughed twice and subconsciously raised his hand. His hand was heavy. He looked over and saw that his hand was connected to Su Xiaolu's hand. He pushed himself up.

He untied the strap and looked at Su Xiaolu's swollen wrist with heartache. He rubbed Su Xiaolu's hand repeatedly and muttered, "Is it worth it?" Was it worth it to risk her life for him?

Su Xiaolu was unconscious and could not give him an answer.

Zhou Zhi looked around. It was a deserted island with a dense forest. They were still on the beach. He looked at the approaching waves and knew that he and Su Xiaolu could not stay on the beach. From the looks of it, the tide would rise at night and it would be dangerous on the beach.

His legs were not comfortable, and so was his body. Without a steel frame and a wooden wheelchair, he could not stand up. He looked at Su Xiaolu deeply and did not hesitate. He supported himself with his hands and first grabbed one of Su Xiaolu's hands. He lay down and carried Su Xiaolu on his back. Doing this made him so tired that he was panting.

He caught his breath, then pushed himself up on his hands and crawled toward shore.

Zhou Zhi felt like a snail, a pathetic snail. He used all his strength but could only advance slowly.

The waves were like pursuers, chasing after him. The waves were getting closer and closer. Sometimes, he felt like he was about to be slapped away by the waves, but he gritted his teeth and crawled. He persevered.

The salty and cold seawater choked him. He only felt very uncomfortable. He could not tell if the water dripping from his face was sweat or seawater.

By the time he reached the shore, he was exhausted.

He was out of danger after all. He had survived again. Su Xiaolu was not awake yet. He did not know how far she had swam with him. She must be exhausted.

After putting Su Xiaolu down from his back, Zhou Zhi sat up. He looked around and took off his outer shirt to cover Su Xiaolu. He crawled towards the forest and picked up dry branches. He spread the leaves and weeds on the ground and carried Su Xiaolu up.

He started a fire. Fortunately, he had knives and flint with him. Even with these two things, he was almost faint from exhaustion when he cut branches and brought them back.

He took out the medicine bottle and ate a few pills with trembling hands. He opened Su Xiaolu's mouth and fed her a few pills.

The dry sticks were mixed with branches. There was a warm flame. With smoke, it would be easier for his subordinates to find them.

After doing this, Zhou Zhi leaned against Su Xiaolu and fell asleep.

Sunset.

Su Xiaolu opened her eyes. She shook her head and looked at the fire that was about to burn out. She sat up. Her clothes were already dry. She glanced at Zhou Zhi, who was sleeping beside her, and lit the fire before moving her feet.

Her body was cold. She was sick and had a cold.

She looked at Zhou Zhi beside her. His face was a little pale and his brows were tightly furrowed. Su Xiaolu could not help but touch his forehead. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found that Zhou Zhi was not sick.

She looked down and saw that Zhou Zhi's hands were stained with blood. She grabbed his hands to check and frowned.

Zhou Zhi opened his eyes and said softly, "Xiaolu."

Su Xiaolu nodded. "Your hand is injured. We have to treat it, or it will fester."

Clearly, Zhou Zhi woke up before her. He must have spent a lot of effort to move her to this place. His condition was not good. His martial arts skills were not good, and his legs were not good. Without any help, he could only crawl.

His hands and fingernails were broken. There was sand and dried blood. It was said that the ten fingers were connected to the heart. She wondered how he had endured it.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said calmly, "I'm fine. It's just a small injury. It's dark now and we don't know what's going on on this island. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Su Xiaolu stood up and said, "It's fine. My eyes are very good. There might be water not far away. I'll go take a look and be back soon."

If this wound was not treated, the inflammation and infection would be no joke.

Su Xiaolu did not go far. She found a banana tree and took out a huge leaf to store the spiritual spring water. She took some of the bananas before returning.

After she left, Zhou Zhi quietly watched the fire. Hearing the commotion, he looked into the darkness.

"I'm back."

Su Xiaolu put the banana aside and squatted down beside Zhou Zhi.

There was a lot of clean spiritual spring water. The banana leaf was rolled into a cone and used as a cup.

"Drink some water first. We're quite lucky."

Su Xiaolu smiled.

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu. "Have you drunk it?"

Su Xiaolu nodded. She could drink as much spiritual spring water as she wanted.

Zhou Zhi also smiled. He drank some water and watched Su Xiaolu make a small pool with banana leaves and pour the rest of the water in. Su Xiaolu began to wash Zhou Zhi's hands.

Zhou Zhi's fingers were all injured to varying degrees. Among them, his middle and ring fingers were more seriously injured. His nails were broken and were already red and swollen.

There were also some scratches on his body.

Su Xiaolu took out a medicine bottle. Inside was medicinal powder for external injuries. It stopped bleeding, disinfected, and promoted healing. She placed these things in the Space.

After bandaging Zhou Zhi's fingers, Su Xiaolu took out a black medicinal pancake and gave it to Zhou Zhi. "Eat some. Fortunately, this thing doesn't absorb salt. I washed it with water. This banana can also be eaten."

Zhou Zhi smiled. "Yes."

Everything that was difficult for him was easily solved by Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu's eyelids were heavy. She tried her best to keep herself awake and finish the medicinal pancake. She drank some spiritual spring water and added firewood.

After doing this, she lay down on the grass and yawned. "I'm too tired. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Don't worry, we'll go back safely."

Zhou Zhi nodded. Su Xiaolu quickly fell into a deep sleep. She rarely fell sick. She was a doctor herself. If she felt unwell, she would quickly take precautions. This was the first time she was so ill.

It was so cold. She shivered.

In a daze, she felt as if she was hugging a furnace. Only then did she feel more comfortable.

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu, who was hugging him tightly. He did not dare to move. His heart raced and even his breathing slowed down.

He knew that Su Xiaolu was sick. The coldness on her body came in waves. Her thin outer shirt could not warm her at all. Su Xiaolu was taking his body temperature.

He did not push Su Xiaolu away because to him, he could even give her his life.

What made Zhou Zhi glad was that there were no large wild beasts on this island, which allowed him and Su Xiaolu to spend the night safely.

When the sun rose from the horizon and the warm sunlight shone into the forest, the cold gradually dissipated. Only then did Zhou Zhi fall asleep.

Su Xiaolu woke up in the warmth. Her body was strong, and after taking the medicine, she felt much better after a night.
