Chapter 1661 - 1661: 1661
Weng Xingban, after exerting all his strength, finally managed to carry Liu Zhizhong to Dishui Rock and settle him down.
Speaking of Dishui Rock, apart from the difficult path to reach it, some medicine gatherers even refuse to stop by, but in other respects, it really has no issues.
To the south, it gets sunlight from morning till night, and snakes and insects don't like to come here.
It's about twenty to thirty meters high, and climbing up is quite a challenge.
The cave is not deep, about four or five meters, and six or seven meters wide, very spacious, which is not ideal as a hiding spot for wild animals.
At the cave entrance, there's indeed a trickling spring, not too big or too small. It's enough for one person living here to have sufficient drinking water.
Inside the cave, there's a simple wooden bed frame, made from trees and stones.
Some time ago, Weng Xingban even repaired the bed a bit. Beyond the small hill behind Dishui Rock lies a banana farm where he works. Returning to the village at night is too far. If he wants accommodation at the farm, it costs money.
So, when working at the farm, Weng Xingban would rest here for the night and head back to the farm in the morning for breakfast and work.
A person in debt always has to strive a bit harder, finding ways to earn and save money.
After settling Liu Zhizhong, he felt burning hot. Weng Xingban had to go and pull up some wild ginger grass, crush it, mix it with mountain spring water, and force Liu Zhizhong to drink it.
In rainforest survival, Weng Xingban, like Ruan Yu, knew some herbal medicine knowledge.
Wild ginger grass is a decent choice for reducing fever.
Anyway, beneath the spring at the cave entrance, there's a pond that Weng Xingban had expanded. It can hold quite a bit of water! The spring water here is indeed very tasty.
After forcing Liu Zhizhong to drink it, Weng Xingban fetched water again to clean Liu Zhizhong's whole body. After the liquor ran out, he used some anti-inflammatory herbs to rub on him.
Meanwhile, the village doctor, Grandpa Lou, with inconvenient legs, listened to Ruan Yu whispering about the situation at home, and his eyes lit up.
Grandpa Lou immediately grabbed his medical kit, leaned on his walking stick, and followed Ruan Yu out of the village onto a fishing boat, heading towards Dishui Rock.
Others didn't know what Grandpa Lou had done while roaming around in his younger years, but he was well aware of it himself.
During those times, forced by circumstances, Grandpa Lou went to make a living under the command of a southern warlord. Initially, he worked as a medic, later honing excellent medical skills.
However, amidst the warlord conflicts, his commanding officer was annihilated, and Grandpa Lou had a leg broken in battle. He then fled into the rainforest mountains.
After healing, Grandpa Lou was disheartened, losing any intention to make a living outside.
He returned to the village with a small amount of savings from those years, started practicing medicine to help people in exchange for basic sustenance, aiding whoever he could.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.
So, as soon as Grandpa Lou heard Ruan Yu mention Liu Zhizhong, he was one hundred percent sure that this guy was probably a helicopter pilot under some warlord's command?
Because in the Vallebang Region, only helicopters exist, be they freight or armed ones, or private machines of the warlords. Plus, looking at the news, there haven't been reports of any civil or military planes crashing in this area in the past few days! It must be a warlord-related helicopter that crashed?
And these pilots are each and every one of them truly valuable!
