Now the two of them have a secret, and you could even say they have a life-or-death bond!
Wei Mo intended to share some secrets with Li Xiuxiu, so he twisted his body, broke free from Li Xiuxiu's embrace, and said to her,
"Aunt Xiuxiu, let me tell you a secret! This secret is only known to my mother and me."
Li Xiuxiu looked at Wei Mo in front of her, who seemed to have recovered, and nodded to him.
Wei Mo continued, "You must promise not to tell anyone. If some people find out, it could kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuxiu quickly stopped Wei Mo. How could she possibly hurt Wei Mo now? She stopped him from speaking and instead said...
"Then don't tell me! Keep the secret in your heart forever. Don't worry, I will never hurt you in this life."
Wei Mo, who was about to reveal the secret, was interrupted by Li Xiuxiu. After thinking for a moment, Wei Mo sighed. The two of them were now close enough that Li Xiuxiu's cooperation would make things much easier.
Actually, if Li Xiuxiu wanted to kill him now, it would be very easy, since he was the one who killed him, so Wei Mo didn't care about other secrets.
However, seeing that Li Xiuxiu didn't want to listen, Wei Mo didn't feel the need to insist on telling her, since it's always better to keep secrets to a minimum.
Wei Mo nodded to Li Xiuxiu, and the two sat together, discussing how to get back. After all, Wei Mo was covered in blood, and his face was also covered in blood. After thinking for a long time, Li Xiuxiu gritted her teeth.
He picked up the shovel from the ground, made a deep cut on his arm, revealing flesh and bone, and blood seeped from his skin and flowed down.
Then Li Xiuxiu kept wiping Wei Mo's body with her arms, making his entire shirt covered in bloodstains.
Wei Mo was startled by Li Xiuxiu's actions. Looking at his shirt, he realized that Li Xiuxiu was disguising herself for him.
Deeply moved, he hurriedly took off his shirt and helped Li Xiuxiu wrap her wound.
Wei Mo frowned slightly. This silly woman, even if it was to hide the information, she wouldn't go to such lengths to hurt herself.
Li Xiuxiu remained calm, not even blinking as she drew such a deep wound.
Compared to Wei Mo's life-saving grace and the restoration of her innocence, this wound was insignificant to Li Xiuxiu.
Seeing Wei Mo anxiously on the verge of tears, Li Xiuxiu smiled happily, thinking about the promise she had just made.
She sighed softly. Wei Mo was still too young; otherwise...
Wei Mo hurriedly grabbed Li Xiuxiu's uninjured hand and ran down the mountain.
I need to get home quickly to clean the wound, otherwise, in this day and age, even a slight infection can be fatal.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly, wondering how this woman could be so foolish as to hurt herself like that.
However, Li Xiuxiu didn't care about the wound. Instead, she felt that this would protect Wei Mo. Otherwise, the bloodstains on Wei Mo's body and face would be impossible to explain.
Only if he himself was injured could Wei Mo's actions be explained as helping him.
All I can say is that Li Xiuxiu is only focused on protecting Wei Mo; she's completely single-minded right now! Couldn't she just go back and get Wei Mo a piece of clothing? She could even just throw the clothes away!
As soon as the two entered the yard, Wei's mother noticed something was wrong with them. Wei Mo was shirtless and had red bloodstains on his face.
Wei's mother rushed over to check and saw that Wei Mo's clothes were tied to Li Xiuxiu's arm.
Before Wei's mother could ask what was going on, she quickly ran into the house, fetched a basin of clean water, and found her godfather to handle the situation.
"Godfather, come quick! Xiuxiu is injured!"
As Wang Zhenhua shouted, Qian Manman and the others noticed what was happening and rushed over to ask how it had happened.
The old man also came out of the house and surrounded Wei Mo and Li Xiuxiu. Wei Mo was about to speak when Li Xiuxiu spoke first.
"I'm sorry to have worried everyone. I accidentally got a cut from a tree branch on the mountain, which scared Wei Mo. I couldn't bandage it myself, so I had to borrow Wei Mo's clothes to bandage the wound."
Li Xiuxiu spoke with a calm expression, and Wei Mo had to admit that the girl was a great actress.
Wei's mother brought some water and quickly undressed Wei Mo. When she saw the long wound, she took a deep breath.
Li Xiuxiu kept rinsing the wound on her arm with clean water, remaining silent and clenching her teeth tightly.
The people around felt sorry for him. The old man hurriedly ran back home. His family had always grown Yunnan Baiyao, which is a good hemostatic agent.
The old man plucked a few leaves from the vine of Yunnan Baiyao, ran home to find some Yunnan Baiyao powder, and then ran towards Wei Mo's house.
After Wei Ma cleaned Li Xiuxiu's wound, the old man handed her Yunnan Baiyao and kept wiping it on the wound. He took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, which contained powdered Yunnan Baiyao leaves.
After wiping the wound with fresh Yunnan Baiyao leaves, which were now turning green, the old man pinched off some powder and sprinkled it on Li Xiuxiu's wound.
Wei Ma ran back into the house and found many strips of cloth to bandage Li Xiuxiu's wound. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Wei Mo hadn't recovered yet, so he went to his room to think about the matter alone, wanting to be by his side for a while.
The original owner was young, and for Wei Mo's family, it wasn't time for him to earn work points yet, so Wei Mo could do whatever he wanted!
After Li Xiuxiu was injured, in order to hide her emotions, she wanted to help everyone knit things, but Yu Ma pulled her back to her room and told her to rest properly.
And so, Wei Mo and Li Xiuxiu stared at each other in the room.
Everyone outside was busy, and when Yu Mo spoke inside his room, it was impossible for anyone outside to hear him.
Seeing that Wei Mo was already lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, Li Xiuxiu lay down next to him and began to tell him about her feelings and experiences at that time.
“Wei Mo, do you know? I was terrified at the time, thinking that I might as well just die, but I couldn’t break free of the ropes at all, and could only watch him get closer and closer.”
"At that time, I thought that if someone came to save me, I would marry him no matter who it was."
After Li Xiuxiu finished speaking, she found it funny herself.
He was surprised to find himself talking about these issues with a tiny child, and then reached out to pat Wei Mo's head, feeling somewhat self-deprecating.
"What am I supposed to say to a little kid like you? Sigh, I wish you were older."
Wei Mo's eyes lit up when he heard Li Xiuxiu's words, but when he thought about his own body, he felt like crying. He was still too young, otherwise he would have gotten a wife for free.
The two lay there quietly, not saying a word, but recalling the day's events. Wei Mo's body trembled again, clearly thinking about the moment he swung the axe.
Seeing Wei Mo's unusual behavior, Li Xiuxiu pulled him into her arms again, patting his back repeatedly to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all in the past. That wasn't you at all. Remember, it wasn't you. If anyone finds out, I'll take the blame for you."
Li Xiuxiu's words gradually calmed Wei Mo down. Looking at the exquisite woman in front of him, Wei Mo felt that his decision back then was not wrong.
He killed a scumbag, but saved a young girl in the prime of her life.
