Chapter 29
The Sangbang members were severely injured. Zhao Batou was crippled. If his hands were frozen like the others, he would be able to recover after rubbing them. However, his left hand was bleeding and frozen, and he had lost all feeling in his fingers.
Monkey shrank to the side and tried his best to reduce his presence. Zhao Batou crossed his arms and looked gloomy. They had not even gotten anything from entering the treasure mountain, and they had already suffered heavy losses.
Pangzi was shaving his nails nimbly with a small metal wire. It seemed that the freezing had eased, and he was glad that his hands had not lost their mobility.
"Boss, let's go back to Da Tian Village to rest for a while!" Pangzi looked at Zhao Batou and whispered, "You have to rest well."
If a monkey could sit still, he wouldn't be a monkey. He shouted from behind, "That's right!
Boss! "
"Yes, yes my ass!"
Zhao Batou picked up the burning stick with his right hand and threw it in Monkey's direction. Tian Dali, who was standing in front of Monkey, hurriedly sat down on the ground.
"You are a traitor, a traitor. Get lost, get lost!" Zhao Batou pointed at Monkey angrily, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat him up.
"Boss, calm down, calm down." Xiu Cai tried to calm him down.
Tian Yitu looked at Zhao Batou's pale face. His lips were pale from the loss of blood, so Tian Yitu passed his pipe to Zhao Batou, "Brother Zhao, take two puffs to stop the pain."
Zhao Batou took the pipe and took two puffs. Because he was too fast, he choked. This cough was fatal. His muscles trembled, and it affected his hands. After all, the hands were connected to the heart. Zhao Batou did not feel good.
Mute patted Zhao Batou's back gently, comforting Zhao Batou silently.
The rest of the people had frostbite, so it was easier for them to deal with it. However, Zhao Batou was a little more troublesome. He did not know if his muscles and bones were injured, and there was no medicine left.
It was reasonable to say that they all had some medicine, but they usually carried it with them. However, when they fell into the ice cave, the medicine that Pangzi kept on his waist was probably cut by the broken ice in the water. The medicine that was kept on the cowhide had all been washed away by the water.
The scholar looked at the crowd and threw a piece of firewood into the fire.
"I'll tell you what I think, Boss!" The scholar looked at Zhao Batou.
Zhao Batou nodded slightly, but the pain in his hand made Zhao Batou grit his teeth.
After receiving Zhao Batou's approval, the scholar continued, "Let's leave the head here to recuperate and continue to collect goods. This way, there's not much difference between leaving the head here and going back. If we go back, this trip will be in vain. Will the food at home be able to last a good year?"
Mute shook his head. Pangzi's rubbing of his fingers slowed down, and Zhao Batou's groans of pain became much softer.
Monkey mumbled, "At least there's hot water to drink!"
The scholar took the enamel jar and scooped hot water from the hanging pot, "Monkey, do you want to drink?"
Seeing the expression on the Elementary Scholar's face, Monkey hurriedly shut his mouth and shook his head. The water was still boiling, how could he swallow it? The Elementary Scholar looked like a gentleman. If he were to agree, Monkey looked at Mute and saw Mute looking back at Monkey with interest. Monkey was sure that if he were to agree, the hot water would be poured into his mouth.
"Gang Leader, brothers, this is what I'm thinking. Since there's a wooden club in this old forest, we can search along the side and we'll definitely be able to find it. Furthermore, it's not convenient for Gang Leader Zhao's body to recuperate in the village. If we find the wooden club, the whiskers of the wooden club will be useful for Gang Leader Zhao's body!" Xiu Cai said calmly, as if he was thinking for Gang Leader Zhao.
Pangzi nodded, and so did Zhao Batou. Now that the snow had sealed off the mountain, he had to go to the county hospital with his injuries. It would take him at least six hours to get there, and it was too far. There was no clinic in Da Tian Village, so there wasn't much difference between going back to the village and staying here. However, if they found the wooden club, their efforts would not be in vain. Everyone naturally leaned towards continuing to leave the mountain.
"Scholar!"
Zhao Batou took the treasure seeking rod from his side. "Scholar, you and Pangzi can discuss more. This time, you and Pangzi will go with the two Tian family brothers. The two Tian family brothers and Monkey will stay here and guard the cave with me."
After Zhao Batou finished speaking, he passed his treasure seeking rod to the scholar. The scholar took it naturally, and it was considered a handover.
"Are we going back?"
Tian Xiaoku looked at the Qian Mingying pulling a wild boar and piling it under a pile of snow. There was already a deer there. Don't ask where these wild boars and deer came from. Look at the two Black Bear Cubs rolling around the entrance of the cave, and the three Hei Xiazi Cubs nesting beside them.
"Are you still worried about those people from the Sangbang?" Qian Mingying asked Tian Xiaoku after he had finished setting up the cave.
"No!" Tian Xiaoku shook his head. "I'm just thinking that since the house hasn't burned down, it'll be wet when we get back!"
Qian Mingying was stunned. Was this a reason?
No matter what, they couldn't starve!
