Transmigrating as a prince’s consort should, in theory, mean living a life of luxury—savoring sumptuous food and drink while having servants at one’s beck and call, right?
But in realit...
Shao Qing was shocked and subconsciously reached out to support him.
However, she had underestimated the heaviness of Wei Jing's body, and overestimated her own strength. Instead of holding on to him, she was thrown heavily to the ground.
Her right arm was numb from the pain, but she didn't bother to rub it. She got up with a grimace and hurried to look at Wei Jing.
There was a large dark red patch on the front of Wei Jing's lapel, which was shocking. Shao Qing immediately reached out and pressed the carotid artery on the side of his neck. Fortunately, it was beating. He then checked his breathing, and although it was rapid and weak, it was obviously there.
Just fainted, that's all.
She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened his collarbone to check his collarbone injury.
There were four horrifying holes, covered in blood and flesh. Fortunately, the chain had been pulled out for some time, and the rate of blood flowing out had slowed down a lot. But it still keeps seeping out.
Shao Qing picked up the sword, quickly cut off a piece of his undershirt, cut it into two pieces, folded it thickly and covered the wound on his clavicle with it; he then found the pulsation point of his subclavian artery and pressed down on it.
Apply pressure to stop bleeding.
Shao Qing pressed hard while observing the other wounds on his body. Those sword wounds were minor and the blood had already coagulated.
She felt something was wrong.
Wei Jing gave her the impression that he should be more resilient. Even if he had lost too much blood, at least he should be able to sit down with the sword in his hand, right?
It fell down so suddenly.
After a long time, feeling that it was almost time, Shao Qing lifted the bloodstained thick cloth and took a look. Seeing that the bleeding had basically stopped, he hurriedly pulled his left arm.
He wanted to cover this area before he fell into coma.
She remembered that it was just a minor wound at that location, and the meteor dart finally grazed his arm and then cut off her hair.
Shao Qing didn't check it immediately because she knew the wound was the most minor. But when she opened his sleeve and saw the wound, she was immediately horrified.
"how so?!"
There was a sharp scratch about half a knuckle deep, and the blood that flowed out was dark brown and black. From the wound to the nearby skin, an area the size of a palm was gray and black.
poisonous!
Shao Qing was horrified. She felt a chill on a small patch of scalp behind her head. She reached out and touched it. After making sure that she felt a very short stubble of hair and there was no wound on her scalp, her pounding heart finally calmed down.
That’s right, even Wei Jing has fallen, she definitely can’t be alive and well now after being poisoned.
Shao Qing didn't care about being afraid, and quickly cut a strip from the hem of his coat, wrapped it around twice, and tied it around the top of his poisoned wound.
Don't panic, don't panic.
As she did this, she forced herself to calm down. Wei Jing should have known long ago that he was poisoned, as could be seen from the way he changed his hand to hold it.
He was so skilled that even though he knew he was poisoned, he still ran for a while before stopping after escaping from the pursuers. He should be able to force the poison into his arm.
This can be determined by looking at the gray and black color on his arm spreading so slowly.
That must be it!
Shao Qing tightened the cloth strip and tied a knot, then stood up quickly and dragged him to the stream. He was tall and muscular, and heavier than Shao Qing had imagined. She had to grit her teeth to drag him a little further.
She dragged his arm until it was deep enough to dip into the stream, then she picked up the sword and cut the wound twice.
Shao Qing is not a medical student and has little interest in medicine, but her grandfather is an old Chinese medicine practitioner and she often visits the old man, so she does understand some common sense through learning from him.
For example, first aid for snake bites.
As soon as the cross wound was opened, dark brown and black poisonous blood immediately gushed out. Shao Qing immediately pressed Wei Jing's arm into the rushing stream and squeezed it hard.
After squeezing for a while, the poisonous blood gradually disappeared. She lifted his arm and saw that the gray-black color had indeed become lighter.
Shao Qing was overjoyed and continued to do the same thing.
Until finally, the four or five cross-shaped wounds turned white, the blood squeezed out gradually decreased and turned bright red again, and the poison spots were so light that they were almost invisible. She stopped panting.
He reached out and felt Wei Jing's pulse and breathing, which were still a little rapid and weak as before. It hadn't gotten better, but it hadn't gotten worse either.
This should be a good thing.
Shao Qing's wildly beating heart finally calmed down a little. She had done the best she could, and she could leave the rest to fate.
She barely managed to hold on and use her sword to knock on the nearby low grass, but when she saw no snakes or insects being startled, she immediately collapsed to the ground.
After a series of thrilling moments and emergency treatment, she relaxed and could hardly hold on.
…
Shao Qing panted for a while, closed his eyes, and opened them again, and saw dark clouds rolling in the sky from east to west.
Afraid that it would rain again, Wei Jing didn’t know when he would wake up, or if he would ever wake up.
what to do?
Shao Qing was a little anxious. The twenty or so assassins were still searching in this direction. She took their leader's words "We must catch up!" seriously.
She had escaped with so much difficulty. If she were caught and killed, she would never rest in peace.
Walk?
Logically speaking, she saved Wei Jing, and Wei Jing also saved her. She also did her best to provide him with first aid after he was poisoned. She could be said to have done her best. Now no one owes anyone anything.
But where should we go? The most she could do was to tell the directions of east, south, west and north from the setting sun which was not completely blocked by the dark clouds. She had no idea how big the forest was, nor how far she had to walk.
In the vast jungle, there are no fewer poisonous insects and ferocious beasts than black-clad killers. Even though she is staying in Wei Jingxun's relatively safe place, she still has to be vigilant and pay attention to her surroundings.
well.
Shao Qing stood up very annoyed and said, "Why don't we wait and see what Wei Jing will do tomorrow?" What if he wakes up? It’s getting dark soon, where can we go?
As long as he wakes up, one of him is worth a hundred of us.
Yes, that's it!
Shao Qing made up his mind, climbed up, moved a little upstream, and quickly took off his shoes and socks to clean the blood stains on the soles of his feet.
The delicate and graceful feet of this rich lady have now suffered a great deal. Blisters have broken and grown, and then broken again, leaving the entire soles of her feet red. The blood and the coarse cloth socks were stuck together and it was very painful. She was very tough and had endured it all the way and persisted until now.
Shao Qing was grimacing and pulling her socks, and when she accidentally glanced at the water, she was stunned.
A large rock blocked the water flow, causing slight ripples on the water surface, reflecting the beautiful face of a young woman. She had two curved, slender willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of clear almond-shaped pupils, a delicate nose and cherry lips. Even with her dishevelled hair, it could not hide the beautiful curve of her jaw. Even with her dirty face, dim light and unclear mirror, one could still vaguely see the tears in her beautiful eyes as she looked around.
What a beauty! She is delicate, graceful and elegant, like an elegant lady walking out of an ancient painting of ladies.
Well, it was Empress Fu who personally selected it, so she would never let her youngest son suffer.
Shao Qing wanted to cry but had no tears. If she were to be reborn into a palace fighting mode, this appearance would be great, but now she was an exiled convict.
This appearance will be greatly disadvantageous to future survival.
Shao Qing let out a long sigh. In fact, just by looking at his own slender fingers like peeled onions and his pair of jade feet, which were covered in blood but still delicate and round, he had already prepared himself mentally in the past few days.
Alas, I never thought that there would be a day when I would think I was too beautiful.
But Shao Qing didn't have time to worry too much. It was getting dark, and the mountain breeze brought some moisture. It seemed that the heavy rain would come again soon. She had to quickly clean the wounds on herself and Wei Jing, and then see if she could find a place to shelter from the rain.
She didn't dare run too far because this location was chosen by Wei Jing, and she didn't know how to judge the safety factor if she left this range.
Birds and small animals were also busy looking for shelter from the rain. A pheasant flew down from a branch and hid in the human-high thatched grass at the bottom of the steep slope.
Shao Qing's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up his sword, pushed aside the bushes and followed in.
Sure enough, there was a two-foot-deep, person-high concave hole inside, with the rock protruding a little on the top, which was enough for three people to rest. A pheasant built a nest inside, and there were a dozen white pheasant eggs in the nest.
She was overjoyed as she had a place to shelter from the rain for the night and dinner was ready.
The pheasant was startled and flew away, and Shao Qing hurried back.
When she returned to Wei Jing, she was in trouble. He was very tall and had a strong body due to years of martial arts training. It was already her limit to drag him a short distance, and it was impossible for her to help him into the cave.
He tried several times but it didn't work. The sky was getting darker and darker as dark clouds rolled in. He was seriously injured and poisoned, so it was best not to get wet in the rain again.
Shao Qing was a decisive man. He gritted his teeth, picked up his sword, selected some straighter branches and cut them off, used rattan as ropes, and made a simple stretcher.
With great effort, she rolled the person up, but since she couldn't lift him alone, she tied a rattan rope at one end, tied it around her shoulders and dragged him with all her strength.
The soles of her feet were painful, and the wounds that had just been washed became moist again. The fresh rattan rope with the scent of grass and trees cut deeply into the skin from her shoulders to her ribs.
This location was about thirty or forty meters away from the hollow cave. Shao Qing actually moved over step by step, and finally used his sword to strike the thatched grass, dragging Wei Jing in, and then dragging him to a slightly higher hollow cave.
Shao Qing threw down the vine rope, supported herself against the cliff and breathed heavily. After breathing for a while, she felt better and quickly leaned over to pull Wei Jing down.
The hole was shallow and the stretcher could go in straight away. Wei Jing's lower body was still outside. At this time, the wind was blowing hard and a storm was about to come. She had to move him in quickly to avoid wasting her time.
She was anxious. Wei Jingzhong was heavy and the stretcher was tilted. He failed to coordinate well and rolled over and fell into the stretcher.
Shao Qing also suddenly knelt heavily on the ground. She was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound. Her knees were almost broken.
"Hmm."
However, after the fall, Wei Jing actually reacted. Shao Qing was overjoyed and rushed over to help him up, asking repeatedly: "How are you? Did you fall? Are you aware that you are poisoned? Is it serious?"
She asked again and again, but Wei Jing closed his eyes and did not respond. He was not actually awake, but his body was reacting subconsciously.
Shao Qing was disappointed at first, but then he was delighted. It was good that he could react. It proved that the situation was getting better. You know, at the beginning he fell to the ground without any movement.
After checking his carotid artery and breathing, I found that they were indeed smoother and stronger, not as rapid and disordered as before.
Shao Qing was greatly encouraged, and before it rained, he went outside to cut a clump of hairy clumps and dandelions that he had just seen.
The weeds that can be found everywhere in the mountains and forests of this village have the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation. I used to find it boring when I heard my grandfather nagging about it, but now I actually use it.
There are also a few plants of Lobelia that can detoxify snake venom.
There was a loud thunder in the sky, and heavy rain came again. Shao Qing hurriedly put away the thatch and rushed back to the cave in a few steps.
Shao Qing was very thankful for the heavy rain. It washed away the smell of blood and all traces of the two men. Even if the enemy searched in the rain, their efficiency would be greatly reduced.
It should be safe tonight. I hope Wei Jing can wake up.
She untied the small bundle that had not been thrown away, took out the small broken bowl, crushed the herbs she had collected first, applied them to Wei Jing's wounds, and then tore the small bundle into strips and bandaged them.
He also applied some of the cream on his poor feet and the deep marks on his shoulders. After he was done, he didn't care that the egg was raw. He cracked it and swallowed it in big mouthfuls to soothe his hungry stomach.
Wei Jing also drank some egg liquid. Shao Qing didn't care whether he was a god of war or not. He pinched his nose to force him to open his mouth, then pinched his jaw and poured the egg liquid into his throat. He finally managed to feed it down his throat.
"Hey, considering how hard I've worked, you should at least show some courage and wake up before tomorrow morning!"
Shao Qing was very tired. After she caught her breath, she felt a sharp pain in the soles of her feet and shoulders. She wanted to keep watch but was unable to do so. She let go of the hand that was pinching Wei Jing's jaw, fell to the ground and closed her eyes.
