Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 784: Never Abandon, Never Give Up

"It, it, it... What about it?"

Lu Jing replied,

"The forest is so dense, we can see it, but it might not see us."

Meanwhile, he added a few sticks of firewood to the fire to increase the flames.

Dr. Yu unconsciously pouted,

"Alright then."

That made sense.

Then he continued to ask,

"Doctor Lu, are you trying to make the fire bigger? Can they see it from above?"

He was somewhat skeptical.

Lu Jing sighed,

"Let’s hope so, there’s nothing else we can do."

Fortunately, it wasn’t raining, or even this only way to call for help would be impossible.

Right then, Uncle Da came back, and it looked like he had a decent haul.

"Dr. Xiao Lu, Dr. Yu, look at all the wild fruits and mushrooms I found."

Lu Jing stood up, clearly very excited. Wasn’t he starving with his stomach stuck to his back?

"Wow, that’s great!" he said, rushing forward excitedly.

There were no seasonings, but at a time like this, who cared? Being able to eat was lucky enough.

Uncle Da handed over the mushrooms with a big smile, and Lu Jing happily accepted them,

"I’ll wash these. Yu, you can take the thermometer off the village chief now."

Yu was sitting not far from the village chief and could easily take it off.

"Sure!" his reply was without hesitation.

Uncle Da sat down and started asking about the village chief’s condition in dialect.

For a moment, both Lu Jing and Yu looked on as if they were hearing Martian.

Two minutes later, the mushrooms were washed.

"Do you guys need water? If not, I’m going to put the mushrooms in."

"No, no."

"I don’t need any either."

The village chief was still being fed, so he certainly didn’t need it.

Seeing this, Lu Jing threw the washed mushrooms into the cup, then suddenly, as if he remembered something, he picked up two wild fruits and squeezed them in his hand.

The juice from the wild fruits was very juicy, dropping into the cup drop by drop.

Finally, when he couldn’t squeeze anymore, he threw the flesh into the cup too.

There were no other spices, so adding some wild fruits wasn’t bad, and it gave a bit of sourness.

The sourness, combined with the mushroom’s own flavor, was definitely better than tasteless.

Pregnant people like to eat something sour anyway.

If others couldn’t handle the taste, they could just cook it again, anyway, there were so many mushrooms, a cup wouldn’t finish them all.

Luckily, in the end, everyone ate without complaints and quite enjoyed it.

After eating, Uncle Da said,

"When I was wandering around just now, I roughly observed the surroundings; everywhere is blocked, there are no roads, we can only wait for rescue on the spot; we can’t get out on our own."

They lacked the equipment and experience.

Wandering blindly in the mountains would be a real death sentence.

Lu Jing didn’t say anything, he remained quite calm.

It was Yu who sighed heavily,

"Can the rescue come?" he asked in doubt.

Uncle Da became excited,

"Of course they can, definitely!

I believe in our government rescue forces two hundred percent. They will never abandon or give up on the common people."

Uncle Da’s spontaneous words showed his profound trust in our Motherland.

Of course, it wasn’t just Uncle Da, Lu Jing had never doubted it either.

It was Dr. Yu who was shocked for a moment.

Young people, perhaps because they haven’t gone through much, can’t quite understand Uncle Da’s overwhelming confidence.

Since they had to wait for rescue on site, they would need to prepare all necessary emergency items in advance.
