Chapter 486 Hunger Strike
Chapter 486 Hunger Strike
They had a very good plan, but they didn't expect Zhu Lai Di to be unusually alert and vigilant.
Almost the moment I saw them, I realized something was wrong.
But she didn't say anything at the time. They came to the clinic to see her and said they wanted to get some medicine for Zhu A'mei. She agreed and told them to come get it tomorrow because the clinic didn't have some of the medicine.
In fact, that was her argument to keep them company.
She also knew that these people might be guarding the door of the clinic, so she deliberately instigated an old lady who came to see a doctor to cause trouble, causing a lot of noise in the clinic and attracting everyone's attention.
At this time, she disguised herself and left among the crowd.
She saw clearly that the men from the Xiang family were staring at her not far away.
So she didn't dare go back to her residence and ran directly into the wilderness.
She knew where the camp was and planned to find the main force on her own.
In order to avoid being caught by her family, she would not ride on ox carts or donkey carts when she saw them on the road.
If someone approached her to talk, she could easily fool the other person with just a few words using her fluent local dialect.
For safety reasons, she deliberately pasted a big mole on her face. Others would find it disgusting when they saw it, but they would not have any romantic thoughts about her.
But it’s too far from Wumu Town to the camp!
She didn't dare to walk on the main road and mostly went into the woods on the mountain.
There were all kinds of dangers in the mountains at this time of year, including poisonous insects and wild beasts. Thanks to the fact that she had learned medical skills and herbs from a doctor since she was a child, even if she was bitten, she could find herbs to treat the wound.
It was also due to the fact that she had been living in the mountains since she was a child, so she knew how to identify the traces of large wild animals and avoid them.
She left in a hurry and had no food with her, so she could only pick up some wild fruits to fill her stomach on the road. Fortunately, there were many wild fruits in the forest at this time of year, so she did not starve to death.
She suddenly ran away for no apparent reason. Huo Yisheng and the others were looking for her, and the five men from the Xiang family were also looking for her.
Zhao Xingyang, Ye Shu and the others were worried about her, but no one expected that she would walk back to the camp alone and quietly.
So, when she appeared outside the camp like a savage, she scared the patrolling guards!
Thinking that the enemy is coming, all weapons are ready!
When they realized who she was, Xiao Yang and the others were shocked!
But before he could say anything, Zhu Lai Di closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
*
In a room in the camp, Zhao Xingyang was lying lifeless on the bed, he was on a hunger strike in protest.
This was the second day of his hunger strike and the fifth day he was detained here.
It was also the tenth day since Zhu Lai Di disappeared.
There was still no trace or news, and he gradually began to have a bad feeling in his heart. He wanted to go out to look for someone but couldn't, so he began a hunger strike in protest.
Suddenly, the tightly locked door was pushed open from the outside.
Zhao Xingyang's eyelids moved, but he lay in bed without moving.
He knew that it must be Political Commissar Lin who came to do ideological work on him again.
However, the expected voice of Political Commissar Lin was not heard. Instead, a series of chaotic footsteps were heard, and they quickly left.
At the same time, he seemed to vaguely hear something being placed on his bed.
Because the bed was very large and not next to him, he couldn't tell what it was.
It was not until the door was closed again and the sound of locking was heard that he slowly opened his eyes.
He turned around and was stunned.
He blinked his eyes violently and rubbed them with his hands, thinking that he was starving and hallucinating!
But no matter what he did, there was a person lying next to him!
It was Zhu Lai Di, the one he thought about day and night, worried about, and even went on a hunger strike for!
Although she was pale, had lost a lot of weight, and looked like a bag of bones, it did not prevent him from recognizing her!
He suddenly pinched himself hard and gasped in pain!
So, it’s true!
It wasn't his hallucination!
She is really back!
He quickly got up, but because he hadn't eaten for two days, he felt dizzy and his vision went dark.
He didn't care and went to Zhu Lai Di to check on her condition. He saw that she was breathing deeply, as if she was fast asleep.
He reached out and touched her forehead again. It felt warm and slightly cool, with no sign of fever.
Then he let out a deep breath, dragged over his quilt and covered her carefully.
Ye Shu, Zheng Lan and Political Commissar Lin were standing outside his room. The three of them waited in silence for a while, and sure enough, they heard some movement coming from inside.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Xingyang's voice, weak and weak, rang out: "I'm hungry, I want to eat!"
Political Commissar Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the guards who had prepared the food long ago to bring it in.
The door opened and the food came in, but Ye Shu stood in front of the table before Zhao Xingyang and said calmly, "Stretch out your hand, I'll check you first."
Zhao Xingyang was extremely cooperative. After Ye Shu finished taking his pulse, he took the initiative to ask, "Am I okay?"
He looked as if he was afraid that he would die.
Ye Shu was speechless, and after a while he uttered, "If you are so afraid of death, what were you doing before?"
Zhao Xingyang said nothing, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Ye Shu then said, "There's nothing serious wrong with your body, but just to be on the safe side, I'll have Master Huang come back to check you out."
"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and you've been hungry for two days. It's not appropriate for you to overeat. Eat light food and less."
"These meals are for you and Zhu Lai Di. You can keep her portion warm on the stove later."
Zhao Xingyang then asked, "What happened to Xiao Zhu? What happened to her? Where did you find her?"
Ye Shu: "She walked back to the camp by herself. She must have suffered a lot. We don't know the details. You can ask her when she wakes up."
"She's extremely weak right now, and she was poisoned by a venomous insect bite. I've given her an antidote injection and am currently feeding her with nutrition. Please keep an eye on her, and take it easy when she wakes up. She's not even half as healthy as you are right now, so don't let her get angry and cause her any harm."
Zhao Xingyang still had a naughty expression on his face, but he felt very distressed in his heart, and secretly promised himself that he would never make her angry again.
Ye Shu gave him some more instructions and said, "I'll come give you acupuncture in two hours."
Then go.
Zhao Xingyang's door was no longer locked, but he never took another step out.
Always by Zhu Lai Di's side.
During this period, Zhu Lai Di had a fever and he discovered it at the first time.
Ye Shu and Huang Lao happened to come over and gave her a preliminary diagnosis: "It's probably the toxin. She was poisoned for too long and it wasn't cleaned up in time. Now that she's taking the medicine, it's normal for her body to react."
Zhao Xingyang was worried: "Is she okay?"
Ye Shu: "...My life is safe."
As for the rest, neither she nor Mr. Huang could guarantee it.
