Xiao Ze was very surprised. He hadn’t expected there to still be any survivors in such a situation.
He threw the two large iron spears from the boat down, one to the left and the other to the right, to control the stability of the boat.
Because the boat was too small and would be unstable with big waves, they had to be fast.
After boarding the boat, the person had already been bound by Xiao Yu, who also handed Xiao Ze a pair of gloves.
"Put these on, and hold your breath later. Don’t touch him. I’ve already wrapped him up. As long as you don’t touch him, you’ll be fine. I’ll count ’one, two, three,’ and then you loosen the ropes,"
Before her brother boarded the boat, she had already taken off her protective suit, only wearing a homemade cloth strip to cover her face and the gloves in her hand.
Xiao Ze obediently cooperated with Xiao Yu because he was worried the fishing boat would escape, so as soon as he got on board, he immediately used all his strength to transfer the person onto their own boat.
Then Xiao Yu dragged out a canvas tent: "This is a tent I found on the boat, plus some bedding from rooms without corpses, which should be fine. We’ll take it home later for this person to use, as he definitely can’t sleep with us."
The siblings worked together and transferred the tent, bedding, and some dried goods and food onto the boat. These were corner materials left over after selling the big items, estimated to be enough for the person to eat for a month. She planned to feed him the food obtained from the boat.
Only then did the siblings leave the boat and row to shore, where they placed the person under the cliff below the cave, not far from the chicken coop.
After setting up the tent, they laid a layer of wooden planks underneath and then placed a double layer of bedding on the planks, along with two blankets for the person.
It was then that Xiao Ze, out of breath, looked at Xiao Yu: "Sis, what should we do next?"
"I found quite a lot of herbal medicine on that boat. Just get it down his throat and whether he lives or dies is up to his fate."
Xiao Ze twitched the corner of his mouth: "Sis, he’s got the plague, right?"
Xiao Yu didn’t deny it, and her brother became even more upset, "Sis, aren’t you too bold? You dared to bring him back without an antidote? What if we get infected?"
"I have medicine for treating the plague in my space. How could I possibly get infected?" But that was not so easy to explain to you.
"Ze, after all, this is a human life, and the fact that he’s the only one left alive on that boat, half-dead no less, shows how strong his vitality is. Look at how he’s just skin and bones now. He must have been enduring for a long time. How could I just watch him die?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ noⅴelfire.net
"But sis, we’re not doctors. How do we know how to treat him?"
"Let’s just try our best and see if he can pull through. What do you think?"
Ze was speechless. "What can I say? Sis, you really are a living Bodhisattva!"
"Remember to burn those gloves and don’t get close to him usually. I’ll handle it. Let’s minimize contact between us, and don’t forget to wash your hands before and after meals with the medicinal ointment (hand sanitizer) I boiled. As long as we wash our hands frequently and maintain hygiene, we won’t get infected. Got it?"
"Sis, let me do it. After all, he is a man."
"It’s fine. You don’t know how to take care of people, and besides, I’ve already been on the boat. Oh, and remember to cover up with this torn cloth when we talk from now on."
In fact, Xiao Yu had already planned to spray disinfectant water at home in the evening. She had also brought down a pot from the boat, planning to use it to boil some clothes and cloth for disinfection.
