After the divorce, I became a rich girl
Chapter 85: Enjoying the Suffering
Li Jiawei was awakened by hunger and cold. When she opened her eyes, she found that the fire beside her was almost extinguished. Although the temperature in the wooden house had not dropped to the freezing temperature outside, it was not warm either.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, hurriedly got up and added firewood to the fire, and when the flames jumped again, she turned and walked towards Xiao Yi, wanting to check on him. However, to her surprise, Xiao Yi was staring at her with his eyes open.
Li Jiawei involuntarily took two steps back, then quickly returned to Xiao Yi, knelt down, and asked happily, "Xiao Yi, are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Xiao Yi looked at Li Jiawei, a smile blooming on his lips. "Thank you for saving me. I feel great."
Li Jiawei's eyes were red, and the worries in her heart disappeared instantly. She said with a choked voice, "I thought you would never wake up again."
Xiao Yi tried to reach out and comfort her, but he was too weak to do so. "In fact, I was very awake the whole time, but I just couldn't wake up. I heard everything you said on the way, but I couldn't respond to you. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Li Jiawei felt embarrassed when she heard this. "You...you heard everything?"
Xiao Yi smiled and replied, "I heard you praise me for being handsome and said I was the most handsome man you had ever seen."
Li Jiawei's cheeks flushed instantly, as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head. She said shyly, "You...you should just forget it...you know, people always talk nonsense when they are nervous."
Xiao Yi laughed twice, then fell into a violent cough. Li Jiawei saw this and quickly reached out to help him breathe, but when her eyes touched his heaving chest, she stopped and asked with concern, "Where are you hurt?"
Xiao Yi suppressed a cough and replied, "My left arm joint seems to be dislocated, and my right leg seems to be broken. The rest of my body is fine, and I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."
Li Jiawei heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I was worried that your internal organs were injured. We can't treat you in our current condition. I'm really afraid that both of us will be trapped here to death."
"Thanks to you, we were able to survive." Xiao Yi was full of gratitude to Li Jiawei. When she herself was in danger, she still insisted on carrying him as a burden and moving forward in the severe cold.
At that time, he was worried about being abandoned by her. After all, if he remained unconscious, he would surely die if Li Jiawei left him in the snow to fend for himself. At the same time, after she had been searching for a long time in the vast snowy mountains and still could not find a shelter, he hoped that she would let him go. At least, between the two of them, she would have a greater chance of surviving alone.
However, in her most desperate moment, she had thought of dying with him, but she never really thought of abandoning him to fend for himself in the ice and snow.
Especially when she put a down coat on him, the gratitude in his heart was beyond words. As an orphan, even though he has achieved something and become a star in everyone's attention, he has never experienced the feeling of being cherished so much. What's more, they are just strangers who met for the first time today.
Li Jiawei noticed that Xiao Yi's eyes were always on her. His sincerity made her feel a little awkward, so she quickly changed the subject and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
Xiao Yi keenly captured Li Jiawei's embarrassment. As someone who has worked in the entertainment industry for many years and has met all kinds of people, Li Jiawei is a person with a simple personality, and people can see through what she is thinking at a glance.
Xiao Yi saw that Li Jiawei was a tough yet gentle person - she was not good at speaking, and was even worse at communicating with the opposite sex. Seeing that she was trying to change the subject, he followed her words and replied, "Yeah, I'm hungry."
Li Jiawei smiled and took out food from her backpack. "I have a lot of food here. If we save it, it will be enough for us to survive for three or four days. The rescue team will definitely come after the snow stops. By the way, I also brought a self-heating hot pot. Do you want to try it?"
Xiao Yi supported himself with his right hand and sat up, leaning his back against the wooden bed, and said, "I'll eat."
Noticing that Xiao Yi's left hand was hanging limply, Li Jiawei asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
Xiao Yi shook his head gently, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Li Jiawei put down the hot pot, looked at his arms and legs for a moment, then measured the length with her hand in the air, picked up the sickle and left the cabin. Soon, she returned with a dozen straight and evenly spaced wooden strips. She squatted beside Xiao Yi and said softly, "I will try to be gentle. Tell me if it hurts you."
She deftly used a wooden strip to fix Xiao Yi's left arm, and tore off a strip of cloth from her worn-out down jacket to tie the wooden strip tightly. She did the same for Xiao Yi's injured right leg. After tying the last knot, Li Jiawei looked at her masterpiece and said, "The conditions are limited now, so this is the only way. Protecting your injured arm and leg can minimize the risk of further injury." Then she looked at the bow she had tied and said, "This bow is a bit ugly, please don't dislike it."
Xiao Yi quickly shook his head. "I'm very grateful. How could I dislike it? How did you come up with the idea of using wooden strips to fix it?"
Li Jiawei sighed softly, "These little life tricks are all learned from practice." Seeing Xiao Yi's puzzled face, she added, "Speaking of which, this method was taught to me by an old man in our village when I was a naughty kid and broke my arm."
Xiao Yi looked at Li Jiawei's slightly embarrassed expression and said softly, "This skill is really useful." Li Jiawei then unpacked the hot pot and took out a thermos cup from her backpack, which contained the snow water she had melted earlier.
As the firelight flickered, Xiao Yi stared at Li Jiawei's focused figure, his mood gradually relaxed, and he began to look around this simple yet cozy wooden house, which seemed warm at the moment.
A few minutes later, the enticing aroma of mushroom soup filled the air. Li Jiawei took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It smells so good! This is a mushroom soup hotpot. It must taste..." Before she finished speaking, her stomach growled.
For a moment, the air was filled with subtle awkwardness. Li Jiawei lowered her head shyly and said softly, "This hot pot is delicious."
Seeing this, Xiao Yi wanted to laugh but was afraid of making her feel even more embarrassed, so he could only suppress his smile and responded, "Yeah, the smell makes me hungry."
After the hot pot was done heating itself up, Li Jiawei placed it between the two of them and said, "It's ready to eat."
Xiao Yi looked at the hot pot, then looked at Li Jiawei, "But how do we eat it?"
Li Jiawei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Xiao Yi in confusion, "I forgot that your hands are inconvenient, do you need my help?"
Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head, "No, there are no chopsticks."
After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Li Jiawei suddenly realized and patted her forehead, "Oh, why did I forget this! Wait a moment." As she spoke, she walked to the pile of firewood in the corner of the wooden house, selected four relatively straight branches, trimmed them to the same length with a sickle, roasted them over the fire, and finally rinsed them carefully with hot water in the thermos.
Li Jiawei handed Xiao Yi two wooden chopsticks and said, "You can eat now."
Xiao Yi took the chopsticks. They were the same thickness, length, and smooth. He couldn't help but look at Li Jiawei in surprise. "Is there anything else you don't know how to do?"
Li Jiawei smiled complacently and said, "Let me tell you, children from rural areas are all experts in surviving in the wild. Don't worry, you will never go hungry with me here."
Xiao Yi looked at the optimistic Li Jiawei and sighed, "Even in our situation, you can live like a picnic."
Li Jiawei looked at Xiao Yi's gradually regaining rosy complexion and said helplessly, "It's just a way to have fun in misery. If you hadn't woken up, I would be lonely and scared now, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on. Xiao Yi, thank you for waking up."
