Awakening

Chapter 184 Digging Part 2

 

As he walked past them, a female student saw him and immediately ran toward him and then said: “Student Gennai, it’s bad, student Akiyama and student Haruko seem ill, can you go and look at them?”

Sure enough, someone finally fell sick. After all, there were more than 40 students here; After walking in the jungle, plus spending the evening on the beach, the sea breeze could easily make some of them catch a cold. Because of this, Lei Yin was not too surprised when he was told that some people have fallen ill.

When he went to the front of the crowd, he saw Narimura Haruko was sitting under the shade, hugging her knees tightly as her whole body trembled.

Seeing this, Lei Yin frowned, “When did she become like this?”

The girl who called him immediately replied: “This morning she said she was under the weather. We thought she just catches a cold, so we didn’t care too much, and just called her to sit near the fire to keep her warm. But when she woke up after sleeping the whole afternoon, she became like this. Student Akiyama is also like this, Not only he said that he felt cold, he also has diarrhea. He just went over there in the woods and haven’t come back yet. Student Gennai, do they catch colds?”

Lei Yin did not speak, just looking at the pale face of Narimura Haruko who seemed to be struggling hard.

After a while, he walked over, squatted down in front of her and looked at her eyes, and then lightly said: “Shall I give you a hand?”

Seeing him suddenly appeared in front of her, Narimura Haruko’s face revealed a surprised look. Upon hearing his voice, she hesitated.

From the subjective point of view, she did not want to owe this man. But the constant pain on her body made her instinctively wanted to get help from this man.

After going through all sorts of experience these last few days, she and the other students were surprised by this man’s unending survival skills. Unknowingly, she subconsciously believed that as long as she stayed together with this man, she must be able to safely get out of here. And now, she knew that the only person who can save her was this man.

Seeing the glazed indifference in his eyes, Narimura Haruko knew perfectly well that if she said no, this uncompromising guy will no longer bother with her.

Some people said that young people do not fear death. Actually, that was just a misconception. The truth was, they just felt that death was too far away from them. But at this moment, Narimura Haruko truly felt the threat of death. Because she knew there were no drugs on this deserted island, so any illness that she got would indeed be very dangerous.

At last, after a fierce mental struggle, she finally lowered her eyes and nodded her head.

Without further ado, Lei Yin immediately put his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.

Without knowing why, when his hand touched her forehead, Narimura Haruko suddenly felt her heart beating fast.

After checking her body temperature, Lei Yin asked: “Tell me about your symptoms.”

“I, I feel very cold, and pain in all over my body, especially in my head. Am I having a fever?”

“What about your throat?”

“It’s also very painful.”

Lei Yin opened her eyelid to take a look, and then carefully looked at her exposed arms and legs.

After checking them, he frowned again.

“When I gave you the mosquito repeller plant that day, you did not use it, right?”

Afraid to look at him in the eye, Narimura Haruko whispered: “Yes, I thought it smelled so bad so I didn’t want to apply it on my skin.” Although this was indeed one of the reasons, the main reason was, she did not want to owe him, so she did not use it.

“And that Akiyama also did not use it?”

“I don’t know, maybe not.” Actually, she knew Akiyama will definitely not use it because he hated this man. Therefore, he would absolutely refuse his gift.

“Really? Then congratulation to both of you. If I’m not mistaken, what you have is dengue fever, an infectious disease spread by Aedes mosquito (It can also spread Zika).

“What is dengue fever?” A female girl uncontrollably cried.

Lei Yin stood up to face the other students and said, “Dengue fever is very infectious. If you don’t want to have it, I suggest you to immediately take those mosquito repellent plants, pound them into juice, and applied them on your skin.” After that, he hugged Amy back toward their fire pit.

Hearing his words, the other students immediately ran away like a swarm to find those mosquito repellent plants which they have no idea where they put them. Some of the students even fought each other to compete for these medicinal plants. Fortunately, those herbs were plenty enough, so they did not cause the mass chaos like when they fought for food last time.

Seeing not only the female students but even those male students who usually stayed close to her also tried to escape as far away as possible from her, Narimura Haruko felt immense panic and worry.

Finally, she could not help but quietly lowered her head between her knees and wept. She did not know why she cried, perhaps because she finally saw the real human nature, or maybe she felt she might really die on this deserted island.

She did not know how long she cried when she heard a male voice in front of her, “Put these herbs on your forehead. It can help you reduce your fever.”

She lifted her head to look. It turned out to be that guy. This time, his hand was holding some kind of strange plant.

“Didn’t you just walk away, why did you come back?” Narimura Haruko looked at him as she wiped her tears.

Lei Yin dryly said: “Just consider this as me meddling in other people’s business.”

Hearing his words, Narimura Haruko suddenly has the urge to cry.
