Chapter 49 - Sacrificing Too Much For Him
Chapter 49: Sacrificing Too Much For Him
Another two hours passed.
Ning Dai angrily put the satellite phone aside. She wrinkled her nose and turned to look at Mo Chen.
“The phone can’t be used. Second Brother, wait for me here. I’ll go to the island and look for something to eat. Otherwise, I’m afraid we’ll go hungry.”
The honeymoon had been set up seemed to look like a piece of sh*t. Ning Dai’s heart was filled with anger.
“Okay, be careful.”
Mo Chen’s eyes were a little dim.
His legs hadn’t recovered yet, so he couldn’t move. At this special moment, it was obvious that he was useless. It made him feel extremely inferior.
He was trash, dragging Ning Dai down.
Just as the dark emotions were about to surround him, the fragrance of roses spread and surrounded Mo Chen.
It was Ning Dai who gently pulled him into her embrace.
“Second Brother, don’t think that you’re useless. It’s fortunate that you’re by my side. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.” She playfully bit his nose.
“Be good, wait for me here. I’ll come back after a round.”
As she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the island.
Looking at her slender back, Mo Chen felt a faint warmth in his heart.
Ning Dai walked around the island for a long time. There was no human habitation here, and the vegetation was lush. There were also quite a few birds and insects, and the products were quite abundant.
She found some fruits like coconuts, which could barely satisfy her hunger.
“Looks like I have to catch some fish, or else we won’t be able to hold on,” Ning Dai muttered softly.
Just as she was about to find some dried branches to burn, she saw a few pieces of dark blue grass on the stone pile on the left. The blades were slender and long, swaying in the wind.
“Seven-Leafed Calamus!” she cried out in surprise.
This was a rare medicinal herb. It was mainly used to treat injuries caused by falls and bruises. It was also the most important medicinal herb to treat Mo Chen’s leg injuries.
Previously, she had only helped him to relieve his pain, but she could not cure him completely. It was because of the lack of the Seven-Leafed Calamus. Now that she had this medicinal herb, Mo Chen’s leg would be better. It was just a matter of time.
Ning Dai quickly put the fruits she had picked aside and ran to pick the herbs.
However, she had forgotten that all the treasures of the world were guarded by venomous snakes and beasts. The Seven-Leafed Calamus was no exception.
As soon as she picked the herb, Ning Dai’s heart turned cold. She forcefully twisted her body away, but the swift venomous snake bit her arm.
She quickly pressed down on the snake’s head and twisted it. At the same time that the venomous snake died, her fingers had already pinched onto the blood vessels on her arm to prevent the venom from invading.
After Ning Dai squeezed out the venomous blood, she tore off a corner of her clothes and made a simple bandage for the wound.
The best antidote for the snake’s venom was the snake’s gall. Her actions were quick and decisive. She used the sharp stones beside her to cut open the snake’s abdomen, took out the snake’s gall, and swallowed it. Only then did she bring the spoils of war back to the beach.
“I’m back. There’s an unexpected harvest.” She sat down beside Mo Chen and casually took out a coconut.
“Eat some fruit first. I’ll give you this medicine later. You should rest more after eating. Your leg injury will be alleviated.”
Ning Dai opened the coconut as she spoke, but Mo Chen pressed down on her hand.
“What happened to your arm?”
He had noticed her wound when she had approached him earlier. Seeing that her bandaged clothes were a little red, Mo Chen felt anxious and his gaze turned cold as well.
What exactly had hurt her?
“It’s fine. I met a venomous snake when I was picking herbs. I’ve already taken care of it.”
Ning Dai smiled as she pointed at the snake that she had brought back. “I’ll roast some snake meat for you to eat later. However, the herb that it was guarding was important. It wasn’t in vain for me to be bitten.”
Mo Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. The gaze that he looked at her with became even more loving and gentle.
She, for him, really sacrificed too much.
