Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 254. Invincible Luck

"Tiewa, please take two people and bring over our stretcher," Hua Chengtian quickly arranged.

"Okay."

Then Hua Chengtian took off his backpack and pulled out a set of spare cotton clothes along with the medicine he carried with him.

First, he gave Sun Laosi a mouthful of ginger soup. Luckily, he could still swallow. After pouring several mouthfuls, he stopped.

Next, he uncovered the injured area. Everyone gasped at the sight of the wound. Clearly, his stomach had been bitten by a wild animal, four fang marks visible. Thankfully, he was wearing thick clothes, so they didn’t get torn by the beast, or his organs would be exposed. Even so, it’s uncertain if the harm reached inside.

There were also bite marks on both arms, and one leg showed signs of being torn. The thick clothing, with an extra layer of animal fur inside, thankfully prevented a worse outcome.

While waiting for the stretcher, Hua Chengtian managed to finish the examination. They lifted him onto the stretcher and lightly sprinkled medicine on the wounds. Considering Sun Laosi was severely injured, even though Hua Chengtian felt deeply for him, he resolutely took two anti-inflammatory pills and fever reducers his daughter gave him and stuffed them into Sun Laosi’s mouth.

Despite such measures, whether he could survive such severe wounds was still uncertain for Hua Chengtian.

He wrapped Sun Laosi in his cotton clothes and quickly covered the bloodstains in the snow.

They had many people and were well equipped with weapons, but who would willingly face wild animals?

As for why Sun Laosi was alone here, they could only wait for him to regain consciousness to ask.

Then, they tied the person tightly to the stretcher. In groups of four, they took turns carrying him, continuing their journey towards the mountain range back home.

At night, like before, they stayed overnight in the Big Cave where they often rested.

Everyone went about their tasks: tidying up, cooking, while Hua Chengtian stayed beside Sun Laosi, feeling his burning body and feeding him more fever medicine.

It wasn’t until after dinner that Sun Laosi gradually awoke, easing Hua Chengtian’s tension slightly.

When Zhao Laosi opened his eyes, he was clearly bewildered, only responding after a while. He felt a burning sensation in his throat, cold all over, but the warmth around him and the dim light made Sun Laosi realize he was saved.

Just as he was about to muster the strength to sit up, a strong pair of hands helped him up, placing a basket full of items behind him, and a steaming bowl appeared before him.

"Your body is weak now, don’t move around. Drink some hot water first."

Feeling the knife-like pain in his throat, Sun Laosi paid no heed and gulped the water down, feeling more comfortable afterward. He raised his face to express gratitude but froze.

Then, the big man, in front of so many people, reddened his eyes, shakily raised his injured hand, and grabbed the person closest to him.

"You... are Xiu’s..." His voice, filled with surprise and a hint of sobbing, was followed by a fit of coughing.

"Yes, Brother Sun, it’s me. Your injuries are severe, try not to get too excited. Discuss it when you’ve calmed down." Seeing him nearly faint again from excitement, Hua Chengtian quickly held Sun Laosi’s hand, then took the bowl of hot water from Hua Meng’s hands, making him drink it harshly to calm down.

Finally, catching his breath, Sun Laosi gripped Hua Chengtian’s arm, trying to stand, but alas, his entire body was in pain and impossible to control.

"Cheng... Cheng Tian, brother, where am I now?"

"Oh, we are two mountain ranges away from where you were injured."

If it weren’t for the severely cold temperatures, their speed could have been faster.

The further into Qinggu Mountain they went, the higher the altitude rose, reaching nearly a thousand meters normally, taking considerable time to cross each mountain.

"This... far already, Brother Chengtian, did you find any others around me?"

Hua Chengtian shook his head, "Were there others?"

"My big brother... second brother... along with two people we met halfway..." Sun Laosi rested briefly before completing the sentence.

"Didn’t find them, they probably got separated. Don’t worry, eat something first, regain some strength, then explain in detail."

Hua Chengtian signaled Tiewa to bring over the coarse rice meat congee cooked over the fire.

Although Zhao Laosi was very anxious, he knew his younger sister’s husband was right. He couldn’t even speak easily now, feeling as if he’d lose consciousness at any moment.

Obediently, he drank the thick congee from Hua Chengtian’s hand. His stomach warmed, and he gained a hint of strength.

"Thank you... Brother Chengtian."

Although he wasn’t sure if he had truly escaped death, seeing Xiu’s husband and knowing he was doing well, Zhao Laosi felt even if he died eventually, the trip wasn’t wasted.

After drinking, Hua Chengtian reluctantly took out two more anti-inflammatory pills and said, "Take these."

He was clearly feverish, indicative of an infection post-injury. Taking them was a chance to fight against it. Without them, the severe wounds could have been fatal.

Zhao Laosi obediently took them, unwilling to die, willing to swallow knives just to survive.

"Don’t be too worried. When we found you, there was no one else around. No other traces either. Zhao Da-ge and the others should be fine," Hua Chengtian comforted.

"How did you get so badly injured, what happened?" Seeing Sun Laosi somewhat spirited after the meal, Hua Chengtian asked.

"Wolves..." The fear in Sun Laosi’s eyes mixed with a hint of hatred.

"How did you provoke them?" Hua Chengtian exclaimed. Wolves generally move in packs, everyone knows to avoid provoking them. The Sun brothers didn’t seem reckless, and they were familiar with dealing with wildlife, so they should understand!

Yet, encountering wolves and managing to escape alive, ultimately being found by them, Sun Laosi was indeed lucky.

"It wasn’t us... provoking them. It was the two people we met... on the way..." He knew those two were up to no good when they found them panic-stricken. Ever since they met, those two shamelessly followed them, despite being told off harshly.

The mistake was not scaring those two away, leading to such a disaster. freewёbnoνel.com

Wondering about his big brother, second brother, whether they escaped or not, this made Sun Laosi’s heart uneasy.

"They... raided the wolf den, killing... several young wolves, ate one... and carried the rest with them. The wolf pack smelled them... and chased us..."

"What idiots..." Hua Meng and others couldn’t help but curse upon hearing this.

Daring to raid wolf cubs and kill them, carrying them along, indeed seemed like asking for death.

Yet, they shared the trouble, dragging others along with them!

They sympathized with Zhao Laosi, so injured, not knowing if he could survive.

Misfortune of such magnitude, feeling truly unfortunate, yet meeting them wasn’t entirely bad luck.

Things were so unpredictable, Hua Meng and his team shook their heads.

"Those two really deserved it."

"Absolutely..." Sun Laosi agreed, nodding.

If the wolf pack hadn’t chased them, if those two hadn’t thrown the wolf corpses over, they would’ve been completely in the dark.
