"Brother Ye, you're back so quickly! Did you find the antidote?"
As soon as I entered, Guan Hai'er, who was taking care of Luo Yaqin, was startled. She was overjoyed to see me.
"Of course, with your Brother Ye here, what can't be solved!"
While talking to Guan Hai'er, I didn't stop my hands. I walked up to Luo Yaqin in a few steps and took her injured foot in my hand.
Luo Yaqin's foot was beautiful, but the bloody marks added a touch of eeriness.
I carefully applied the liquid from the jar to the bite wound.
"Alright, if anything happens, call me quickly."
I handed the jar to Guan Hai'er and instructed her seriously.
This medicine was given to me by that old savage before. I didn't think he had any reason to lie to me, so Luo Yaqin should wake up soon in the next two days.
Now I had to go out and arrange for the survivors I brought back.
Although there were only 4 of them, the cave was already a bit crowded. I had to let them stay in the small cave next to it.
This small cave was discovered by us before. At that time, we abandoned it because it could only accommodate about 5 people.
This small cave was only about a hundred meters away from us, which was perfect for Wang Peng and the others.
They could look out for each other.
"Brother Ye, it's getting dark, and we've been busy all day. How about I go find something to eat around here?"
Wang Peng, this kid, was really thoughtful.
There was clearly dried meat placed outside our cave, but he pretended not to see it and instead actively wanted to find food, showing great enthusiasm.
I gave him a glare.
"Alright, don't rush out so eagerly. Since I brought you back, I won't let you starve!"
I looked around. The unlucky man had already regained consciousness but couldn't speak yet.
"However, I need to make one thing clear. Since I rescued you from the Kasa tribe, you are now part of my team. If anyone tries to slack off and not contribute, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Hearing my words, Wang Peng immediately agreed without thinking.
The others also nodded enthusiastically, without any objection.
I nodded with satisfaction. Originally, our team only had me as the only male. Although my physique was extraordinary, all the physical labor had to be done by me, making me stretched thin.
With the addition of these few people, I could also relax a lot.
As soon as I entered the cave, I saw Shangguan Yao sitting on a beast skin, looking a bit dazed. She looked very cute.
"Still sleeping? If you keep sleeping like this, you'll really turn into Sleeping Beauty!"
Shangguan Yao had been in a daze. Hearing my teasing, her little face instantly turned red. Then she glared at me fiercely before going to help Guan Hai'er sort out the food.
"Lu Ziye..."
Just as I was assigning tasks to everyone, I suddenly heard a faint cry from behind me. I turned around and saw that Luo Yaqin had woken up.
Luo Yaqin struggled to get up from the beast skin, but I quickly embraced her.
"Ya Qin, don't move for now. You've just recovered from the poison, and your body is still very weak. You need to rest well."
Luo Yaqin listened to my words and stopped struggling to get up. She weakly rubbed my cheek with her small hand and whispered, "I thought I would never see you again. I had a nightmare, and I almost couldn't wake up!"
"Never again!"
I held Luo Yaqin tightly in my arms. I never wanted to experience the feeling of almost losing someone again.
For the next three days, I took care of Luo Yaqin, whose health was gradually recovering, while also assigning tasks to the newly joined survivors.
Speaking of which, among the survivors I rescued from the Kasa tribe, only two left a deep impression on me.
One was Wang Peng, who was smooth and tactful. These past few days, he would come to flatter me whenever he had free time. At other times, he would find people to get acquainted with, rushing about, never having enough to do.
The other was the unlucky man I had saved earlier, named Zhao Ming.
The black root was highly corrosive. Although Zhao Ming was fine after waking up, three of his left fingers had been corroded.
I actually felt a bit sorry about this, but Zhao Ming had no complaints.
He wholeheartedly completed all the tasks I assigned him, which was a stark contrast to Wang Peng.
As the situation in the cave stabilized, I would also take Kexin back to the Kasa tribe to prepare for Keya's chieftain position.
