This night is destined to be unable to rest well. Fortunately, they did not encounter the flock of flamingos who left the passage before them. It is estimated that the flamingos could not wait to fly to the forest as soon as they left the passage. up.Swimming fish passed by in the sea, and Song Wen even saw a blue whale about the size of a snake turtle.

The blue whale has a very long body. It floats quietly on the sea surface, occasionally wagging its tail. When Song Wen first saw it, he thought it was some small island. Until the snake turtle approached, the blue whale As if startled, Jingcai dodged to the side, making way for them.

In the middle of the night, Song Wen fell into a drowsy sleep. The wooden house was roasted by the fire, and it was much drier than when it just came out of the water, but the hay and animal skins were still damp, so they couldn't be covered On their bodies, Song Wen and Yi both turned back into animal shapes, and the animal-shaped fur made them feel warmer.

The next day was a sunny day, Song Wen was woken up by the dazzling sunlight, opened his eyes and looked, the window was opened at some point, the sun shone in through the window, just enough to shine on most of Song Wen's body .

New firewood was added to the fire, and it was burning very vigorously. The rooster that crowed on time every morning had been tied up in a corner, the rope around its mouth had not been untied, and now it was drooping. Lying on the ground, the orange-brown feathers have been dried, but they are messily intertwined, and if you look closely, you can still see some white salt stains.

Yi was not in the room, and a low cough came from the side. Song Wen wanted to sit up, but he was still in the form of an emperor penguin, and his chubby body couldn't get up as flexibly as a human.

Song Wen was a little puzzled. He had clearly planned to turn back into a human body just now, but his body didn't change at all. Even his head was a little dizzy, and he felt a faint burning sensation from the inside out.

Have a fever?

As soon as this thought crossed Song Wen's mind, he was interrupted by a rapid coughing sound.

Song Wen couldn't turn his head to look behind in this movement of lying on his back. He turned to his side and tried several times before finally turning into a prone position. Then he raised his head and looked in the direction of coughing. The harpy cub was curling up, her face was red, and she was coughing loudly, but she didn't wake up, her eyes were tightly closed, and even her brows were wrinkled together in discomfort.

"Fatty." Song Wen called out to the other party, but his voice was horribly hoarse, his throat felt as if it had been scratched by sand, and it was uncomfortably dry.

Fatty didn't respond, and it seemed that he didn't hear Song Wen's call. It didn't take much guesswork. Both the coughing cub and Song Wen were clearly ill.

Song Wen propped himself on the ground with his small wings and tried to stand up.

The animal form of the emperor penguin is very clumsy. Ever since Song Wen was able to transform into a human, he seldom used the animal form to turn over and get up. These movements are a bit difficult for emperor penguins. It was something that was easy to do at the time, but failed several times in a row and couldn't get up. In the end, he still supported himself on the ground with his beak, which made Song Wen stand up.

Several wooden racks were erected on the ground between him and Fatty, on which the animal fur clothes were drying. The animal fur clothes had been washed with fresh water last night, but they would not harden because they were dried and stained with salt.

Yi and Ah Man were not there, Ah Hen was sleeping with his head down, probably the sound of Song Wen pushing those wooden shelves away woke Ah Hen up, he looked up in a daze, and saw Song Wen pushing the wooden shelves away. It was hard to push the shelf, so I tilted my head and thought for a while, then stepped over to help.

The wooden shelf is placed a bit off, and the animal skins on it have not been completely dried. If you touch it with your hands, you may still feel a hand of moisture, but Song Wen doesn't have the time to turn these animal skins over. His footsteps were a little weak, and it was the first time he felt that the emperor penguin's body was so heavy.

"Fatty." Song Wen walked to Ah Pang's side, and touched the cub's small face with his bird's beak.

The beaks of emperor penguins are not as sensitive to temperature as human hands. Song Wen didn't know how hot Fatty was, but looking at his flushed face and coughing from time to time, it was obvious that he was not seriously ill. .

Song Wen was a little anxious, where did Yi and Ah Man go at this time.

Before the two went out, they still remembered to throw a few ice cubes into the stone pot on the fire. The ice cubes had already melted, and the water inside was bubbling with white bubbles.

Song Wen picked up some wild ginger slices and threw them into the stone pot. He wanted to get some plantain decoction for Ah Pang to drink, but Ah Pang's cold and fever should be caused by soaking in cold water last night. The slightly cool plantain will actually aggravate the cold symptoms of the other party, so Song Wen dare not use it indiscriminately.

At this time, Song Wen regretted that he didn't learn more about herbal medicine and didn't know much about how to use these herbs, so he could only boil some ginger soup for Ah Pang to see if it worked.

It was only after walking a few more steps in the small wooden house, Song Wen felt that he was out of breath, and even his mouth was dry, and he needed to lean on Ah Hen to relax.

Worried, Ah Hen wanted to poke his head over and rub Song Wen, but Song Wen turned his head to avoid it, "Be careful to pass on your sickness to you, I can't even cure humans, let alone cure emperor penguins."

"Oh." Ah Hen couldn't understand what Song Wen was saying, so he could only yell in a low voice.

Fortunately, Yi and Aman came back soon. Yi's body was covered with moisture. It was obvious that he had just been in the water. Aman was holding a white seabird in his paw, and Song Wen couldn't recognize the seabird. The species, just looking at the appearance, looks a bit like a pigeon, but its size is much bigger than a pigeon, almost as tall as a giant petrel, enough to make breakfast for several people.

"Where did you go?" Song Wen asked in a hoarse voice the people who walked into the house one after the other. Their food was not washed away, and the food was enough for them to eat for a while. Nan Lu hurried out to hunt.

Yi was startled by Song Wen's voice, and quickly walked over to help him to the fire, and did not forget to answer Song Wen's question, "I went to check the surrounding situation, and I should be completely out of the territory of the waterspout now. The range is over, and the island is back to rest in the turtle shell, it was tired last night, we can't go on until it wakes up."

The snake tortoise rushed all night last night to get them out of the waterspout's territory as soon as possible. It is estimated that it has never tried to run so fast at this age. It is very tired now. Now it can only stay motionless on the water.

The wind is not strong today, and there is no way to rely on the wind direction and current to float. Now the entire Snake Turtle Island is almost stationary. Although the water surface looks very calm, there may be dangers hidden underwater at any time, and the wing is to go He checked the surrounding waters, and if there was something like an underwater whirlpool nearby, he might as well remind the snake turtle to avoid it first, otherwise they wouldn't dare to stay here for so long.

"What's the matter with your voice? Is it sick?" Yi stretched out his hand and touched Song Wen's head, separated by a thick layer of fur, even if Song Wen really had a fever, Yi couldn't feel anything.

"Maybe it's a bit of a fever, I can't change back to my human form now."

"Fever? Is it serious? Is it uncomfortable? Do you need to take medicine?" Yi was taken aback by Song Wen's words. At this time, Fatty next to him coughed lightly again.

Ah Man hurriedly threw the prey aside, stepped forward to check it out, and looked at him, as if he knew that Ah Fatty was ill a long time ago.

"Did you hunt this prey for Pangpang to eat?" Song Wen asked.

Ah Man rubbed his forehead against Ah Fatty's forehead. Perhaps it was the approach of his companion that made Ah Fatty's frown relax a little. Then Ah Man looked at Song Wen. He also heard Song Wen's words just now. , Ah Man pushed the prey in front of Yi, "Well, when he got up in the morning, he felt that his energy was not very good. Give some of the seabird meat to Song Wen, and he will be energetic after eating."

Symptoms such as cold and fever have naturally occurred in the harpies. Even Ah Man once had cold symptoms when he grew up so big, but it was not as serious as Ah Fat's. At that time, his The younger sister went outside to hunt a deer and came back. Ah Man drank the blood of the deer and ate most of the deer meat.

So when he just woke up and found that Fatty's body temperature was not quite right, Ah Man hurriedly went out to hunt. Fresh meat was much better than the meat frozen in ice in their warehouse, and it was easier to eat. Cubs absorb.

Although Song Wen also explained some common illnesses to them before, and told them how to deal with them when they are sick, they don't have many herbs in their hands, such as big thistle and diving grass are more suitable Treating trauma, plantain is more useful for coughs than for fevers.

Ah Fatty's current appearance was obviously burnt out, and Song Wen himself was dizzy, unable to think of a better way.

So he saw Ah Man directly bit the throat of the seabird that hadn't died completely, sucked out a big mouthful of blood and fed it to Ah Fatty's lips.

Ah Pang swallowed two mouthfuls with difficulty, most of which flowed down the corners of his lips. Ah Man then used his claws to pull the feathers off the seabird's body, tore off the tenderest piece of meat and put it in Ah Pang's mouth. Even though he has deliberately controlled the size of the piece of meat, the cub at this time has no strength at all. Even if he knows that what he is mouthing is food and chews it a few times, he only has time to leave a few teeth marks on the fresh piece of meat , the piece of meat fell to the ground along the corner of his mouth.

Ah Man patiently stuffed the piece of meat back into the cub's mouth, and said to the cub with a solemn face, "Eat it, you will survive."

The cub snorted twice, Ah Man frowned, and simply chewed up the piece of meat before feeding it into the cub's mouth.

Seeing this, Yi wanted to follow suit, but unfortunately the emperor penguin's long beak could not allow him to feed the chewed meat into Song Wen's mouth like Ah Man did.

Song Wen: "..."

Song Wen turned his head and said to Ah Man who was still struggling to feed the cub: "Why don't you feed him some warm water first, and then give him a physical cooling."
