【143】Take care of yourselves

She first used a clean cloth dipped in clean water to carefully wipe away the blood and dust on Chi Rui's wound. Every time she touched a new wound, her heart ached.

Then, she skillfully picked out the gravel and debris embedded in the flesh, applied carefully ground herbs, and bandaged it with layers of gauze.

When giving acupuncture, Su Xueer's eyes were focused and firm. The slender silver needles flashed with cold light at her fingertips and pierced into the acupuncture points on Chi Rui's body one by one, twisting or lifting and inserting. Her technique was skillful and smooth. She was unaware of the beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Time seemed to stand still, and finally, Chi Rui's breathing gradually stabilized, and his originally paper-pale face also showed a faint blush.

Su Xueer's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. She knew that the most dangerous moment was over.

After confirming that Chi Rui was fine, Su Xueer breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.

She lowered her head and stared at Chi Rui's sleeping face, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including attachment, reluctance, and more of determination.

"Sanlang, this time, I have repaid you... From now on, we are even." She whispered softly, her voice choked with a barely perceptible sob.

After saying that, Su Xueer turned around resolutely, dragging her exhausted body, and walked out of the cave step by step.

The scene of him and her breaking off their relationship at the river ferry was still vivid in his mind.

He hates her!

He hates her!

He wants to break off all ties with her!

Outside the cave, the dawn was beginning to appear, but Su Xueer's heart was full of gloom.

We have been together all this time, with deep affection and deep feelings. But now, it has become like this.

Being able to save his life was her last act of kindness.

From now on, take care of yourself, wherever you are.

Her figure gradually walked away and merged into the morning light, leaving only Chi Rui who was still sleeping in the cave, completely unaware of all this.

Chi Rui slowly woke up, his head felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, dizzy and painful. After a long time, consciousness returned with great difficulty.

He subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to rub his temples, but accidentally touched the wound, and a sharp pain came instantly.

This made him completely sober up, and he was shocked to find that the wounds all over his body had been properly treated and bandaged neatly, and the wounds still exuded a faint herbal fragrance.

He forced himself to look around with his weak body. The cave was empty. There were only the remaining herbal fragments, blood-stained cloth strips and a few used silver needles on the ground, silently indicating that someone had taken good care of him here not long ago.

Memories came to him like a surging tide, wave after wave. The decisive scene at the river ferry was the first to break through the gate of consciousness, deeply hurting his heart.

When he said the words "the friendship is over", he saw the hurt in Su Xueer's eyes, like a broken star, dim but heartbreaking;

It was like the cold winter fog, icy and permeating her black eyes.

That look also hurt his heart.

The stinging pain in his body brought his mind back to Amelia Su's eyes, which were full of sadness.

Who is it?

Saved him in this wilderness?

All the wounds on the body were treated so meticulously?

Could it be her?

A self-deprecating smile.

He was surrounded for the second time and fell into the cave at the bottom of the cliff.

Even Qianyu and his master haven't found him yet.

How could she come here?

No matter what, we have to find Qianyu and his master first.

He wanted to get up, but his severely injured body refused to obey him. The moment he exerted a little force, his vision went black. He could only lean weakly against the cold stone wall, feeling mixed emotions.
