Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Yu Bo didn't dare to go too far, so he just walked slowly along the stream, carefully searching for wild strawberries. From time to time, he looked back at Zhu's father and Zhu's mother who were taking care of Zhu Yingying not far away, and his heart was filled with joy. Only then did he truly believe that he had met someone he knew! This was so wonderful! From now on, he would no longer be alone and helpless!

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and then silently wiped his face with his hand. Of course, he didn't cry, he just wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

At that moment, Father Zhu was busy searching for herbs on the slope. He bent down, carefully searching every inch of the ground. Soon, he had a handful of herbs in his hand. He walked to the stream and began searching among the grass by the stream, pulling off a handful of weeds.

To Yu Bo, these were just ordinary weeds. But in the eyes of Zhu's father, an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner, they were precious medicines that could save lives.

Dad Zhu washed the herbs, put them in a large taro leaf, and called Yu Bo to take them. He picked up two stones, washed them, and went back to Zhu Yingying together.

At this point, Yu Bo's vest had already reached its full potential. Without hesitation, Mother Zhu tore it in half, wet one half and carefully applied it to Zhu Yingying's forehead. With the other half, Mother Zhu meticulously wiped Zhu Yingying's face and hands, hoping to help lower her body temperature.

Mother Zhu said to Bo with apologetic eyes, "Xiao Yu, after we successfully escape and leave this place, Auntie will definitely buy you ten new vests as compensation."

Yu Bo quickly waved his hand and responded, "No need, Aunt Zhu, it's just a vest. There's really no need to be so polite."

However, deep down in his heart he had more to say, but in the end he forced himself to hold it back.

Right now, Sister Zhu is the most important. Let’s wait until she gets better, then we’ll talk about it.

Father Zhu slowly lowered the stone from his hand. He picked up a few weeds from the taro leaves in Yu Bo's hand and carefully crushed them on the stone to dissolve them. Then, with Mother Zhu's tacit cooperation, he carefully pinched open Zhu Yingying's tightly closed mouth and poured the paste mixed with herbal juice into her mouth bit by bit. Father and Mother Zhu stared intently at Zhu Yingying's mouth, watching the dark green juice flow down her throat bit by bit.

Yu Bo, who was standing by, couldn't help but start swallowing as well, as if this could help Zhu Yingying swallow the bitter juice more smoothly.

Mother Zhu went to pick some leaves and brought some water to feed Zhu Yingying.

"Swallow it quickly, child. Swallow it quickly, swallow it quickly, you will feel better as long as you swallow it." Mother Zhu muttered softly, her voice revealing a hint of anxiety and expectation.

Father Zhu continued to pound the herbs until all the remaining herbs were dissolved into a paste. He gently applied the paste to Zhu Yingying's injured ankle, carefully wrapped it with taro leaves, and tied a knot with a straw rope.

Yu Bo stood aside and watched all this, his heart filled with worry and doubt. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is this really okay?"

Father Zhu looked up at Yu Bo, his eyes gleaming with determination and confidence. He replied, "It should be fine for now, but we'll need to change the herbs a few more times. While it's still light, I plan to pick some fresh herbs for later use." He then stood up.

Yu Bo: "Uncle, please eat something."

Put the washed wild strawberries in front of him.

Mr. Zhu ate a few of them symbolically and then strode away.

By this time, the sun was setting, a brilliant sunset glow shimmering across the horizon. Father Zhu walked resolutely toward the forest, his figure gradually disappearing into the dense vegetation. Yu Bo watched him go, silently praying that Zhu Yingying would wake up soon.

Yu Bo carefully held the strawberries in front of Mother Zhu and said softly, "Auntie, please try these fresh strawberries. I'll pick some more. Maybe when Sister Zhu wakes up, she can enjoy these delicious fruits."

Mother Zhu understood Yu Bo's good intentions; he was comforting her in his own way. She nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. But be sure to stay safe!"

As she watched Yu Bo's tall figure walk away, Mother Zhu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She thought to herself: This young man is such a kind and thoughtful person!

Mother Zhu casually picked up a wild strawberry and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste instantly filled her mouth. She couldn't help but sigh, "This strawberry is so sweet! No wonder Didi ate it secretly without our knowledge, thinking we didn't notice."

As her thoughts drifted, Mother Zhu thought of her adorable granddaughter, Didi, and then of her eldest daughter, Qingqing. She wondered how they were doing now. She hoped they were all well. Now that she was with her husband and Yingying, she was sure Qingqing and Didi would be fine too.
