Chapter 173: 【172】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 23 (Third Update)

Although it wasn’t possible to do it as perfectly as in modern times, since the conditions here were limited, she was still confident in ensuring the safety of both siblings.

This man was very dirty, starving, and sick; it was truly a miracle that he had survived until her rescue.

Given his current condition, it was not advisable for him to bathe, so she heated some spring water in a large iron pot and found some rags to wipe him down.

Given his condition, she didn’t let Ze come near him. She also took precautions for herself, wearing a mask inside and rags outside, gloves on her hands (which she said were found on the ship), and she specifically found the most tattered clothes to wear, which she would boil in hot water every day to disinfect.

To take better care of him, she cut his hair, which was too long and greatly hindered her cleanup efforts.

His beard had also grown quite long, and without a razor, she used scissors; she left his hair and beard completely messy, making him look terribly ugly.

This man was so hungry and sick, with sunken eye sockets, deep eye bags, and protruding ribs, he looked downright ghastly (think of the look of an African refugee).

After cleaning him up partially, she began to brew medicine in homemade tile jars, which she purchased from Space Mall. These were ready-made traditional medicines specifically for treating the epidemic, precisely formulated according to the pharmacy’s prescription, and thus targeted, so as long as he could survive the ordeal, he could essentially recover.

Administering medicine was not smooth, especially because she had to pry open his mouth to feed him; it took over an hour to finish a bowl of medicine, which was really something.

In such cold weather, she was sweating all over, which showed she was indeed investing a lot of effort.

After so many days without food or water, she didn’t dare feed him too much at once, starting with saline solution, then medicine, and in the evening she fed him a bit of rice oil (the nutritious layer of soup from boiling rice porridge).

After taking care of the patient, she herself was exhausted and suffering from back pain, but she didn’t forget one important thing. A huge ship had been blown away by the wind, which was indeed a waste, so taking advantage of her brother sleeping, she braved the wind and waves, and rowed out to the steamer, touching the ship and sold it to Space for a purchase price of 3.11 million, thus rounding her Space account balance to ten million.

She only felt relieved to return home after securing the ship into the Space. Of course, this process was easy to describe but difficult to execute due to the severe sea turbulence. She struggled for over two hours back and forth, and by the time she got home, it was already around three or four in the morning, hence, quite naturally, she overslept the next day.

In the end, breakfast was prepared by her brother who cooked eggs, boiled rice porridge, and since he couldn’t make pancakes, he picked up some kelp from the seaside, boiled it, and waited for his sister to either mix it cold or fry it.

He also checked on Wuming, comparing the man’s wretched look of yesterday, today even though his sister had cleaned him up, his hair and beard were unbearable to look at. Nonetheless, this man seemed older and tall enough; if he weren’t this emaciated, neither of them could have possibly moved him even if they worked together.

The man’s consciousness was somewhat unclear, but his breathing was stronger than yesterday, it seemed the medicine his sister fed him had some effect.

"Ze, didn’t I tell you? Don’t get close to him,"

Xiao Yu, yawning, came out and got worried when she saw her brother lifting the tent flap.

Xiao Ze put down the flap and quickly raised his hands: "Sis, I didn’t go in; I was just checking if he was dead."

Xiao Yu twitched her mouth, "Don’t worry, if he has held on until now, he’s not likely to die. Come here, I have something to tell you."
