When Wang Jingyuan dragged the giant branch away and entered the cave, she was relieved to find that the man was still lying in the same position she had left him last night. He was still unconscious. Wang Jingyuan set the linen bag against the wall and walked over to inspect the man. He was still pale and unresponsive, but his breathing had steadied and was stronger than yesterday.
Relieved, Wang Jingyuan headed back outside to collect more kindling for the night. Thanks to the storm, there were plenty of fallen branches all around. She was able to bring back three armfuls of good firewood, which she stacked near the entrance of the cave. Then Wang Jingyuan took out the medicine and bandages she bought and got to work changing the bandages on the man.
