Even After My Death

Chapter 716: Chapter 614: Mudslide, Collapse

The rainwater falling on her body disappeared, and Jiang Ning immediately noticed the change.

She looked down at Shi Xiaohua, who was still clinging tightly to her, unaware of what had happened.

However, at that moment, Jiang Ning also noticed that something seemed off about Shi Xiaohua’s condition.

She was shivering against Jiang Ning, like a wet and lost cub.

Jiang Ning picked her up in one swift motion and headed towards the shelter the System had mentioned.

The path in the rainy night forest was not easy to navigate. Even though no rain was falling on them, the ground underfoot was wet, and thick, vibrant weeds were growing everywhere.

The short few hundred meters took Jiang Ning over ten minutes to traverse before she finally found the shelter the System described: an abandoned natural cave.

She carried Shi Xiaohua inside.

The cave was pitch-black and damp. Jiang Ning set down Shi Xiaohua, whom she had been holding in her arms.

Feeling the movement, Shi Xiaohua began to wail: “No, no, Sister Jiang Ning, please don’t leave me.”

Apparently, she had already recognized that it was Jiang Ning who was holding her.

“I’m not leaving you; I just want to make a fire. It’s all right, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Jiang Ning gently reassured her, reaching out to touch the girl’s wet hair.

Jiang Ning handed the glowing flashlight to Shi Xiaohua: “Xiao Hua, I know you are the bravest child. I want to start a fire here; you can help me, right?”

Shi Xiaohua seemed to regain some clarity, wiped her tears, and nodded to take the flashlight.

Under the flashlight’s beam, Jiang Ning noticed Shi Xiaohua’s pale complexion. She engaged with the System mentally: “System, can you detect Shi Xiaohua’s physical condition? Can you dispense some medicine?”

[Understood.] The System promptly responded: [Using the Family Doctor service, deducting 10 Merit Points from the Host. Prescription medication, deducting 20 Merit Points for the medical fee.]
