Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Li Zhi looked at them in confusion.

Then he realized that they had misunderstood him, but he was not foolish enough to explain anything to them.

He raised his head to look at Zhang San, and saw that he was lying straight there. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have almost thought that Zhang San was dead.

Li Zhi thought about it, and finally stood up and walked towards Zhang San.

Although he had no good feelings towards Zhang San and his people, even when he fought with them the day before yesterday, he fought with the mentality of either you die or I live.

But now he couldn't just watch Zhang San die in front of him like this.

"I'm such a fucking slut!" Li Zhi cursed himself, and his damn saintly heart appeared again.

Li Zhi reached out and touched Zhang San's forehead. The scorching temperature startled Li Zhi. He muttered to himself, "Oh my goodness, this guy might be on fire."

At this time, Wang Wu and several others also followed.

Li Zhi said to them: "Your boss's temperature is at least 50 or 60 degrees. Ordinary means are definitely not enough to save him..."

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Wang Wu and the others knelt down in front of him again. Although they did not understand what 50 or 60 degrees meant, they could tell that their eldest brother was in a very dangerous situation. They also understood the meaning of Li Zhi's words and knew that his eldest brother still had a glimmer of hope. They kowtowed to Li Zhi again, begging him to save their eldest brother.

Li Zhi took a glance and said unhappily, "Stop kowtowing. Go get a bucket of water and wipe his body first. Everyone else follow me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi hurriedly ran out to fetch water. There was a well in the courtyard, and they usually used the water from the well for eating, drinking, and washing.

Wang Wu and a few others followed Li Zhi to the place where the herbs were placed.

Li Zhi picked out seven or eight kinds of herbs, then threw them all to Wang Wu and said, "Grind them into grass residue and feed them to him in any way you like."

Wang Wu responded without any nonsense, then hurried away.

Li Zhi ignored him and continued to select. He picked a few more herbs and said, "Identify these herbs yourself, boil them in water, and then add a large bucket of water for your boss to soak. Change it every three hours."

Chen Liu quickly said: "Okay, okay."

Then he left with the herbs.

Li Zhi looked at Li Si who was still standing in front of him and said, "Well, I can't guarantee that I can cure him. Let's just do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Li Si nodded, but still stood there without leaving.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Zhi asked.

"You...you don't want to eat...eat people?" Li Si said with a pale face.

Li Zhi's face darkened, and he kicked Li Si, cursing, "Get lost."

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Wang Wu and others, Zhang San's fever finally subsided.

Before Wang Wu and the others had time to be happy, Li Zhi gathered everyone together.

Li Zhi looked around and saw that everyone was already there, so he said, "Master Liu will start refining the elixir tomorrow night. We have already prepared some auxiliary herbs and materials. Now we are missing the last and most critical material..."

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, someone started crying and shouting below.

They all knew what the most critical elixir material Li Zhi was talking about, and they were all worried that they would be the unlucky one to be chosen.

Looking at these people who were making noise and crying, Li Zhi felt a little bit reluctant, but he himself was also in a difficult situation and could not save himself.

"Okay, stop arguing." Li Zhi said.

But those people turned a deaf ear and just kept crying and shouting.

Li Zhi was annoyed by the noise and shouted angrily: "I will pick on anyone who cries again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the effect was outstanding, and everyone fell silent in an instant.

Seeing that they had finally quieted down, Li Zhi continued, "Master Liu needs to select a total of six people as alchemy materials..."

This was not the first time that Master Liu had refined the elixir, so these people knew that every time he refined the elixir, six people were needed as materials for the elixir. So when they heard Li Zhi say this, they just avoided his gaze but did not say anything more.

"I don't know how you chose before, but I also know that no one is willing to sacrifice themselves to make this elixir." Li Zhi said, "I don't know any of you, so I thought of a simple method, which is to draw lots."

As he spoke, Li Zhi took out a cloth bag from his arms and said, "There are 19 small branches of the same length in it, corresponding to the 19 people here. Each of you draws one. I have marked six of the branches with red paint. If you really draw a marked one, you can only blame your bad luck..."

The dozen or so alchemy materials turned pale instantly.

Li Zhi didn't waste any more words. He grabbed the cloth bag and shook it a few times, then pinched the opening of the bag to make sure no one could see what was inside through the opening.

Then wait quietly for the first person to come forward and draw the lot.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came forward to draw the lot, and everyone was trying hard to dodge.

Li Zhi didn't urge them, he just stood there, holding the cloth bag in his hand.

Finally, a man walked out from the crowd. He was a pale but handsome man. His right foot was broken from the knee down. He held a branch as a crutch and walked out step by step.

"Let me be the first one." Although the man's face was pale, he still forced a smile and said.

Li Zhi nodded and said calmly: "Good luck to you."

Although the man had made up his mind to come out, when it really came to this moment, he became a little scared. He raised his hand but was hesitant to put it into the cloth bag.

After hesitating for several times, the man gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, reached out and grabbed a branch from the bag.

Everyone craned their necks to see if he had the marked branch.

The man no longer hesitated and simply spread out his hand, revealing an ordinary branch without any red mark!

"Congratulations, you are safe." Li Zhi grinned and said to the man.

The man staggered when he heard the words and almost fell down. After he came to his senses, he thanked Li Zhi repeatedly.

Li Zhize shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. This is just your luck. You should thank yourself."

The man didn't say anything and limped back. Compared with his heavy and slow steps when he came out, his speed this time was not only more agile, but also three times faster.

Seeing that the man had escaped from danger, the others had mixed expressions. It was unclear whether they were happy for him or regretful that he did not draw the marked branch.

"Who's next?" Li Zhi asked.

Wang Wu and Li Si looked at each other and said, "Let's go together. When Master Liu was refining the elixir and selecting the materials for the elixir, we were safe because we had Big Brother protecting us. Now Big Brother can't protect us anymore, so we have to learn to face it."

"Yeah, everyone has to draw lots anyway, no one can escape it. Life or death depends on God's will!" Li Si nodded.

"Let's!"

Wang Wu and his companions shouted and then walked forward together.

Without further ado, the four of them reached into their cloth bags and each took out a branch.

The others were shocked. They didn't expect that the four of them would be so bold as to smoke together.

"Come on, let's see if God wants to kill us brothers!" Wang Wu shouted.

The four brothers spread out the branches in their hands!
