The temperature dropped sharply at night, and Song He'er wrapped her cloak tightly around herself, not wanting any breeze to blow in.
Jiang Huaifu was wearing very thin clothes, and his robe had been torn by the rocks when he fell off the cliff. Even now, wearing Song He'er's cloak, he could hardly protect himself from the cold wind.
To make him more comfortable and help him recover faster, Song He'er had no choice but to take out another quilt from her spatial storage and wrap it around his body.
But the next moment, Jiang Huaifu suddenly convulsed, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Song He'er touched his forehead; it was burning hot.
In the middle of the night, he developed a high fever again, probably because the wound had become infected.
Song He'er lifted the blanket and examined his wound, finding that the bleeding area had begun to fester and the surrounding skin had become red and swollen.
She thought back for a moment and realized that apart from the ancient medicines she had collected, there didn't seem to be anything else related to medicine in the space.
The only usable medicine is Yunnan Baiyao.
But Jiang Huaifu's wound had already been treated with antidote powder, and even that kind of antidote was ineffective, let alone Yunnan Baiyao.
After thinking for a while, Song He'er suddenly remembered that she had ibuprofen fever reducer at home. If she gave it to him, his high fever might come down in a little while.
Just then, Song He'er dissolved the powder in water and forced it into Jiang Huaifu's mouth little by little.
"I don't know if meeting you is a good thing or a bad thing. You said that if we hadn't met you, we might not have stayed in Xizhou for so long. But if we hadn't met you, we probably wouldn't have been able to cross this snow mountain and would have died on the way... Sigh, maybe it's all fate..." Song He'er muttered softly.
However, she also found it strange that such a difficult road was difficult even for martial arts masters, let alone those officials who only knew rudimentary skills. It was truly hard to understand.
Song He'er sighed, turned her head to observe Jiang Huaifu again, and saw that after he drank the medicine, the convulsions had greatly decreased, and he would probably be able to calm down completely in a little while.
To help him wake up as soon as possible, Song He'er took out some herbs and brewed them...
"Hiss~" The person next to him let out a painful sound.
Song He'er quickly hid the medicine, then swiftly put it into her fox fur cloak and quilt, before pretending to be drowsy and leaning against the rock wall next to Jiang Huaifu.
Just as she expected, Jiang Huaifu did wake up.
His narrow eyes slowly opened, his dark pupils rolled up and down, and his gaze fixed on Song He'er.
To be honest, it's really cold without the tiger-skin cloak!
Song He'er pretended to be asleep while trembling.
"Where are your clothes?" the person next to me suddenly asked.
"......"
"Hey... wake up."
Song He'er then opened her eyes, turned her head and stared at him blankly: "You, you're awake?"
"I'm asking you, where are your clothes?"
Song He'er rolled her eyes. This man was so arrogant and arrogant. When he was sad, he referred to himself as "I", but now that he's cheered up, he's started referring to himself as "this king".
"Are you blind? Didn't you see it was draped over your own shoulders?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaifu lowered his eyes and looked at himself, noticing that the pink cloak was indeed draped over his shoulders.
"Put it on yourself."
Jiang Huaifu gave all the clothes to Song He'er directly, but the movement was too large, causing his wound to be torn open again.
"Hiss~"
Song He'er rolled her eyes. "Serves you right for not appreciating kindness!"
"You were just... freezing like that?" Jiang Huaifu suddenly asked in a concerned tone.
Song He'er breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and calmly replied, "Yes, so you could say I saved you. From now on, we're even."
Jiang Huaifu gave a cold laugh and turned his head away.
"You ingrate!"
"Hey! I just saved you, okay? How can you say that to me!"
Jiang Huaifu looked at his wound, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Strange, these vines are highly poisonous, so why isn't the area around the wound rotting?"
Song He'er pretended not to hear and kept her eyes closed to rest.
How did you save me?
"I gave you some hot water to drink and then gave you your clothes. As for why you didn't die, it was because of the antidote you were given."
Song He'er answered with her eyes closed, without even glancing at him.
Jiang Huaifu was taken aback at first, then smiled mischievously.
"Then it doesn't count as you saving me; you still owe me your life."
Still owe him? If it weren't for his own blanket and fever reducer, he would have been dead a hundred times over by now!
This man is ridiculous!
"Fine, you can owe me whatever you want, but you'll have to wait until you get out of here alive before you come back to repay your favor."
Jiang Huaifu smiled but didn't say anything.
—————
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain.
When Qin Xiaoniang saw that her daughter had disappeared, she was filled with worry and fear, and she hugged Huan Ge'er and cried on the spot.
Zhang Xiue comforted her from the side, "Don't worry, He'er is with the young prince, she should be fine. The young prince is highly skilled in martial arts, perhaps if we wait a little longer, they will come and join us."
Qin Xiaoniang couldn't calm down no matter what, after all, she had seen the situation on the road with her own eyes. The bear was so ferocious, and even though they were traveling together, several of them were seriously injured, let alone the two of them who were traveling alone.
"The soldiers have already gone to look for you! We should have news soon. Don't panic. That bear almost bit you just now. Are you alright?"
Qin Xiaoniang kept shaking her head, "No."
“Look how Huan-ge’er cried just now, his voice is hoarse. Quickly find him some water to drink.”
They fled all the way, and even if they had water, they spilled it halfway through. Now they can only find some snow water to drink.
Zhang Xiu'e took some clean snow, put it in a bowl, found some dry twigs, lit them with a tinderbox, melted the snow with water, and handed it to Qin Xiaoniang.
"Hurry up and give it to Huan-ge'er to drink, it's clean."
Qin Xiaoniang took the bowl and carefully fed Huan Ge'er the drink.
Li Qiang's wife accidentally fell off her horse while fleeing, suffering a serious leg injury. Nian Jie'er stood by, holding back tears.
Now, half of the soldiers have gone out to search for people, and the rest are useless and can't help at all.
Zhang Xiue tore a strip of cloth from her own body and wrapped it around Li Qiang's wife's knees.
"There's no other way right now, so please bear with it for now. Once we get to Xinzhou, we'll report the situation to the authorities, and they should be able to handle it accordingly..."
