"You should have a good rest." Qiao Nian noticed the boy's curious look at them. Thinking of their husband and wife status, his temples throbbed twice, but he endured it: "You rest well here and wait for me to come back."
Qiao Nian knew what he was going to say, and said first: "I promise I will just go over and take a look. I won't act alone."
"Okay." Ye Wangchuan also wanted to find an opportunity to treat the wound to prevent it from festering and getting infected.
The temperature here is too high. If the wound gets infected, the risk will be very high. He also has to take Qiao Nian away from here. He must get better as soon as possible.
The two reached a temporary consensus, and Qiao Nian asked the boy to take her to the signal tower to take a look.
The signal tower was built at the highest point of the island. To reach it, one had to pass through a large dense forest and climb a mountain, so the journey was very difficult.
Sam slowed down his pace to take Qiao Nian's feelings into consideration along the way, and stopped to look around from time to time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask.
"Can you really repair signal towers? What do you do? How did you fall into the sea? Where are your companions?"
Qiao Nian's eyes darkened: "We encountered pirates and got separated from our companions."
"Oh." Sam was not interested, and he jumped forward to lead the way. Without turning back, he said to Qiao Nian, "Then you are unlucky. There are many pirates here, and they like to rob people with black eyes like you. You should have been targeted by them a long time ago."
"Hmm..." I've been eyeing it for a long time.
Qiao Nian followed him slowly, while paying attention to the various plants growing on the ground.
Finally, after persistence, she found a clump of green grass seedlings.
The girl immediately squatted down, picked a rhizome, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, then called out to the boy walking in front of her with a look of surprise.
"Excuse me, wait a moment, I'll dig something."
Sam, who had walked away, came back to her and saw Qiao Nian carefully digging out a few tufts of grass, standing there in great confusion.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Nian explained to him what traditional Chinese medicine is, the name of the herb he dug out, and explained to him the effects of the medicine.
“The rhizome of Bletilla striata may have anti-inflammatory properties.”
After Qiao Nian finished explaining and picking the white hyacinth, he stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and said to him, "Let's go and see the signal tower."
The signal tower is located at the highest point of the island. After Qiao Nian arrived, he briefly checked the base station and found that it was exactly as Sam said.
The base station was damaged by heavy rain and the electrical wires were broken, so someone had to climb up to repair it.
There will be no signal here until the base station is repaired.
Qiao Nian walked around the signal tower and asked Sam if he had brought his cell phone. Fortunately, he did. Qiao Nian borrowed his cell phone to take a picture of the problem with the base station and recorded a video. Then he took these things and returned to the cabin.
"We're back."
"came back?"
The man in the cabin just came out.
Qiao Nian ran into him head-on. Ye Wangchuan had shaved and washed his face. He looked much more energetic and had a bit of the look that a noble and wealthy man in the capital should have.
But he hasn't changed his clothes yet, probably because he hasn't had time to do so.
Qiao Nian pushed the man in and turned to ask the boy, "Do you have any spare clothes? Can you give us one?"
"Okay, I'll get it for you." The young man went to the next room like the wind and came back with a set of clothes in a short while.
I said embarrassedly: "This is my largest piece of clothing. I am quite tall. If it can't fit me, I will borrow some from my neighbor." (End of this chapter)
