A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

"Lie down and sleep for a while." Wu said worriedly.

Indeed, she felt a little tired. Su Ling lay down as she was told. Soon, she felt very tired. Before going to bed, she did not forget to tell him, "When Hu Yi comes back, tell him not to worry. I will be fine after I wake up."

"Okay, don't worry, Hu Yi will be back soon." Sha said with some worry. Su Ling was so weak, she would not have let her go to the entrance of the cave to get some fresh air. What would happen if something happened to her?

After listening to Sha's words, Su Ling fell asleep peacefully.

Because of Su Ling's fever, the tribesmen who were excited just now became worried. Su Ling was the first female with a fever in the cold season, and her body was not as strong as the others. They didn't know if she could get better by drinking ginger soup. This reminded them of the females and cubs who died of fever during the cold season. They all felt heavy and prayed that Su Ling would get better soon.

"I'll go call Hu Yi back." Hu Lie walked over and said worriedly.

Wu looked at Su Ling's face which was a little red from the fever and nodded, "Okay, you can go soon." Then she prayed for Su Ling beside her bed, hoping that she would get better soon.

When Hu Yi rushed back to the cave, Su Ling had already fallen into a coma and could not be awakened no matter how he called her. Her face was even redder than at the beginning. Hu Yi touched her forehead anxiously and was startled by the hot temperature.

The whole person was visibly in a panic, but he forced himself to calm down and turned to ask Sha who had been taking care of him, "Have you taken the medicine?"

"I drank it. After drinking the ginger soup, I went to boil some dandelion water and just drank it, but my body temperature is still rising." Sha said in a crying voice.

Everyone else in the cave was in a very depressed mood. Some of the cubs were already in tears. They were taken away by their mothers. Tiger Wing was already feeling miserable enough, and he couldn't let him hear the cubs crying.

After the witch finished praying, she stepped forward to comfort Hu Yi and said, "We have done everything we can. The rest can only depend on her."

Hu Yi frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "Sha, please help me get a basin of snow water."

She knew what Hu Yi was going to do, so she turned around and went without further delay.

"Aunt Chun, please find some waterproof animal skins, sew them into some small bags, and put some ice in them for me."

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

After hearing what Hu Yi said, two females also went to sew animal skin bags together.

Hu Yi borrowed some animal skins, spread them on the stone bed at the side, and carried Su Ling to lie on it. Seeing that Su Ling was holding her cloak tightly, Hu Yi took a lot of effort to take the cloak off, but without the cloak, Su Ling's brows were tightly furrowed.

Hu Yi quickly took off her thick fur coat and covered her with the cloak again. Perhaps he smelled a familiar scent, and his frown relaxed.

Hu Yi felt sad and bitter when he saw this scene. He kissed her on the forehead and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid. It will be fine."

Sha came with some water, Hu Yi squeezed the cloth in the water dry, and wiped the sweat off Su Ling's forehead and neck. Soon Chun brought a hide bag filled with ice cubes. Hu Yi took it, thanked him, and put the ice bag on Su Ling's forehead and armpits.

When the clan leader came back and learned the news, he immediately rushed to visit, but there was nothing he could do. It was pointless for everyone to wait, so he could only let everyone else rest and let Sha help Hu Yi take care of Su Ling.

Hu Yi kept paying attention to Su Ling's condition. After about half an hour, the ice might have really worked. Although Su Ling's fever had not subsided, it did not continue to rise.

After changing the ice cubes and ice water several times, Su Ling's body temperature had slowly dropped. Hu Yi's hands were now red from the cold. Sha tried to help several times but was rejected.

After daybreak, he fed Su Ling dandelion water again, and her body temperature returned to normal. Then he carried Su Ling back to the kang bed to sleep.

Hu Yi then let out a long breath, feeling somewhat exhausted.

The tribesmen were relieved when they knew that Su Ling no longer had a fever.

Sha brought the food and said worriedly, "Hu Yi, eat something first. Su Ling will need you to take care of her later. If you don't eat, you won't have the energy to take care of her."

Hu Yi's eyes were fixed on Su Ling. When he heard the voice, he only replied in a hoarse voice, "Thank you. Put it aside first. I'll eat it in a while."

Sha sighed, put the food on the table, turned around and saw Hu Yi still staring at Su Ling motionlessly, with no intention of eating at all.

At this moment, Sha suddenly envied Su Ling for having such a male who was so devoted to her. She also wanted a male who was good to her. She didn't want to look for other orcs and wanted to be with that orc for the rest of her life.

When Su Ling woke up, it was already the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Hu Yi's tired face. His ice-blue eyes were bloodshot and there was a short stubble on his chin.

The moment he saw Su Ling open her eyes, Hu Yi's icy blue eyes revealed surprise, and he immediately hugged Su Ling tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to integrate her into his own bones and blood.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry." Su Ling said with concern.

"As long as you can get better, I will forgive you this time. But I don't want it to happen again. I'm afraid you will never wake up again." Hu Yi said in a hoarse voice.

After waiting for a while without hearing Su Ling speak, Hu Yi was worried that she had fainted again, so he quickly let her go. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked with his brows furrowed tightly, "Why aren't you talking?"

Su Ling smiled and stroked his frowning brows, and replied gently, "I'm thinking about how to answer you."

Hu Yi pulled Su Ling's hand down and held it in his hand, "Is it difficult to answer?"

"Well, I can't control getting sick, just like you can't control getting injured during a fight. I can only promise you that I will take good care of myself in the future and not let myself get sick easily so as not to make you worry." Su Ling replied.

After hearing Su Ling's answer, Hu Yi felt that he was forcing her to do something he didn't want to do. He was too worried and said everything without thinking. He sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, then in the future, whatever you do, you must consider your body's ability to bear it, and don't be so stubborn."

"You've slept for so long, are you hungry? I've been warming the porridge on the fire, would you like to have some?"

"Okay, I'm a little hungry." Seeing that Hu Yi had let go of the topic, Su Ling immediately responded.

Sha had heard Su Ling wake up a long time ago, so she went to serve the porridge over. She just waited for the two to finish talking before bringing the porridge over.

Su Ling saw Sha coming over, stepped out of Hu Yi's arms, and looked at Sha with a smile, "Sha, thank you."

"It's good that you woke up. You don't know how worried Hu Yi is about you. If you don't wake up, he might go crazy." Sha said with a smile.
