Chapter 4 Saving lives is the most important thing
But my mind couldn't help but recall the scene of last night, that warmth and softness...
His throat rolled slightly, and the emotions in his eyes became complicated.
"Really?" Shen Yan looked at him doubtfully.
The difference in physical strength between the two is so huge. If Zhu Jingchen really had ill intentions towards her, there would be no need to act so covertly.
After Shen Yan checked her body and found nothing abnormal, she reluctantly developed some trust in Zhu Jingchen.
"sorry."
"Thank you too."
Out of shame and gratitude, Shen Yan blushed and lowered her head.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt me at all." Zhu Jingchen didn't seem to care about it.
Zhu Jingchen did not stay or ask any more questions, but stood up with one foot.
"Time waits for no one, we must set off as soon as possible."
"Just change your clothes first. I'll wait for you outside."
Zhu Jingchen took the initiative to leave the cave to give Chen Yan enough space.
Only after his back disappeared from sight did Shen Yan's tense nerves gradually relax.
She quickly put on her clothes.
"Here are your clothes..."
Shen Yan quickly ran out of the cave.
She carefully handed the shirt and jacket to the man in front of her, her cheeks still a faint pink.
Because the shirt was worn against the skin for a long time the night before, it now still has the scent of two people.
"You should keep this coat for yourself." Zhu Jingchen took the shirt calmly.
As he spoke, he put on his shirt as he walked, followed by a scent belonging to Chen Yan.
Zhu Jingchen did not stop, but turned around and went back to the shelter to get the supplies he needed next.
After everything was ready, the two set off.
Although I was safe and sound hiding in the cave last night, as soon as I went out today, I heard the deafening roar of a bear coming from the distance.
This made Zhu Jingchen alert instantly. He immediately realized that the situation was not good. Without any hesitation, he pulled Chen Yan beside him and ran as fast as possible in the direction away from the sound.
The environment of this place is much worse than imagined. Not only is it surrounded by dense trees, which obstructs vision, but more importantly, there are many huge snakes, spiders, and various other poisonous insects roaming around.
Suddenly, a clump of leaves not far to their right shook violently, and there was actually a huge snake hiding there that was quietly approaching and about to attack them!
This poisonous snake was well hidden. If it hadn't accidentally touched a branch and caused a noise, Zhu Jingchen and Shen Yan probably wouldn't have been able to find it at all.
Zhu Jingchen reacted extremely quickly. Almost subconsciously, he picked up a thicker dead branch, picked the snake out from its hiding place, and threw it far away with all his strength.
But what no one expected was that just after Zhu Jingchen had dealt with the first snake, another more ferocious snake suddenly jumped out from nowhere and fell directly from the treetops above.
"Be careful!" Almost in an instant, the two of them felt it at the same time.
Shen Yan reacted very quickly. She hurriedly grabbed Zhu Jingchen, and the two of them moved in perfect sync, quickly dodging the snake by moving sideways.
Although they managed to avoid it, the experience of being almost ambushed still left them feeling terrified.
The snake that was just picked up and flew away disappeared along with the dead branch.
However, just as they were rejoicing in their escape, they had not expected that another snake would launch a new round of attack on them.
At this critical moment, Shen Yan stood in front of Zhu Jingchen and blocked the fatal bite with her body.
After being bitten hard by the venomous snake, Shen Yan covered the injured area and screamed in pain.
"Ah!" Shen Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain spreading from the wound. The pain made her whole face wrinkled into a ball and tears flowed out.
"Oh no, this is a poisonous snake!" Zhu Jingchen made a judgment immediately.
His face suddenly changed and he became very anxious.
"Take off your clothes quickly, I'll help you squeeze out the poison!"
He knew that the snake with black spots on the sides of its head and a green body was a venomous tiger-necked snake.
Although its toxicity was not very strong, it was still a huge threat to Shen Yan, who had just recovered and had many wounds on her body that were susceptible to infection.
If those wounds come into contact with this toxin, they are likely to deteriorate rapidly and cause symptoms of systemic poisoning.
There was once a comrade who lost his life because he did not take this minor snake bite seriously.
The lesson was still fresh in his mind, and whenever he recalled it, he was filled with deep regret.
“How could it be…”
Covering her injured leg, Shen Yan almost cried, wondering why she was so unlucky to be bitten in this situation.
She had been through so much hardship and thought she could take a break.
The despair in her heart made her want to give up.
"Stop being in a daze."
Considering that this place was full of dangers and not suitable for staying for long, Zhu Jingchen reluctantly picked up Shen Yan and quickly passed through.
He steadied his steps.
He didn't put her down until the surrounding environment changed to another plant.
"Hurry up."
"Delaying too long could cause more trouble."
After half squatting down, Zhu Jingchen urged Shen Yan to take off her coat quickly so that she could treat the wound.
He placed her on a rock, which was just the right height.
This would allow her wounds to be seen and treated better.
Shen Yan sat on the stone and felt a little cool.
In order to save her life, Shen Yan gritted her teeth and decided to go all out!
Anyway, we already had contact last night!
She sheepishly unbuttoned her blouse and gently took off her inner clothes.
A red scar on the fair skin was particularly conspicuous.
Zhu Jingchen was stunned, lowered his head in embarrassment, and his lips were tightly pressed into a line.
His eyes inadvertently swept over her body, but quickly retracted.
This wound is just here... Never mind, saving lives is more important.
Zhu Jingchen gently pulled Chen Yan's arm over and pressed his thin lips against it.
The two of them froze there for a moment. Not long after, a sharp pain came over them. Shen Yan felt her arm go numb and her face turned even paler. She could no longer think about anything else and could only hold on to Zhu Jingchen's back tightly.
"It's okay. I'll find some herbal remedies to apply later. As long as the poisonous blood is discharged in time, there shouldn't be any big problem." After carefully checking the blood flowing from the wound, Zhu Jingchen slowly stood up and turned around to leave space for Chen Yan to change clothes.
"Yeah." Shen Yan responded softly, her mouth tightly closed, not daring to speak anymore, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
