Chapter 122 Rescue at the Cliff
Su Yue walked at the front, patiently teaching them to distinguish various plants.
"This is called dandelion. When you break open the leaves, there is white sap. Its flowers and roots can be used as medicine to clear heat and detoxify. If you get bitten by mosquitoes in the summer, crush its leaves and apply them to the bite, and the swelling will go down quickly."
"That one with small purple flowers is called Prunella vulgaris. It's especially good for clearing liver fire. If any adult in the family has a short temper or red eyes, it's best to boil it in water and drink it."
The children listened with great interest and studied very diligently.
Among the group, Little Stone was the most active.
Since the meat-stealing incident, he has received unexpected tenderness and respect from Su Yue, and he feels both respect and love for her.
He was determined to make a good impression on everyone and find the most potent and unique herb to give to Aunt Su Yue.
He quietly broke away from the main group and made his way towards a steeper, more secluded rock face.
He remembered hearing adults say that the more rugged the place, the more likely good things are to grow.
Sure enough, he made an amazing discovery in a crevice in the rock.
It was a plant he had never seen before, with strange, deep purple leaves that shimmered in the sunlight and carried a faint, alluring fragrance in the air.
This is absolutely a treasure!
Little Stone's heart pounded wildly; he was overwhelmed with joy.
He couldn't wait to tell Su Yue about his discovery, so he shouted at the top of his lungs down the mountain.
"I found it! Aunt Su Yue! I found the treasure!"
He excitedly reached out to grab the purple plant.
He stepped on a moss-covered stone, which loosened slightly.
"ah--!"
A short, sharp scream shattered the tranquility of the mountains.
Little Stone slipped and lost his balance, rolling down the steep cliff like a kite with a broken string!
Su Yue, who was explaining to the children, froze when she heard the shrill scream, and her face instantly turned pale.
That sound came from a small stone!
She turned her head abruptly, only to see that the small, thin figure had disappeared from the steep cliff in the distance.
"Little stone!"
"The stone fell down!"
The children turned pale with fright, and the bamboo baskets in their hands clattered to the ground. Several timid girls burst into tears on the spot.
Su Yue felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
Without the slightest hesitation, her mental energy, like an invisible giant net, instantly spread out towards the stone wall.
Found it!
The small stone got stuck in a clump of bushes a dozen meters from the top of the cliff.
The situation is worse than we thought.
His right calf was slashed open by a sharp rock, leaving a deep gash that exposed the bone. Blood was gushing out, staining his entire trouser leg red, and dripping onto the rock below, a horrifying sight.
"Quick! Go get someone! Bring a rope!"
The accompanying guard, Xiao Li, also realized what was happening. His face turned pale, and he yelled at the other guard while trying to move closer to the edge of the cliff. However, the steep slope of nearly ninety degrees made it impossible for him to find a foothold.
Should we wait for them to come back with the rope?
Su Yue's mind raced with calculations.
Given the amount of bleeding from Xiao Shitou's wound, he would go into shock due to excessive blood loss within ten minutes at most.
In this desolate wilderness, the consequences of going into shock would be unimaginable.
Time is life!
"It's too late!"
Su Yue's voice was calm and composed, yet it carried an undeniable decisiveness.
Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, she placed her bamboo basket on the ground and gave an order to the guard, Xiao Li.
"You stay here and keep an eye on all the children. Don't let them run around!"
"Dr. Su, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Li was dumbfounded.
Su Yue did not answer, but with an agility beyond human imagination, she rushed to the edge of the cliff in a few steps.
Without even glancing twice, she nimbly grabbed a protruding rock on the cliff face, swung her body, and was already suspended in mid-air.
"Aunt Su Yue!"
"Dr. Su!"
The screams of the children and guards were broken into fragments by the mountain wind.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
The Dr. Su they knew, the gentle and soft-spoken beautiful sister-in-law, was now like a martial arts master from a movie, her movements incredibly swift.
Her body was as light as a gecko, and her hands and feet could always find the most stable footholds at the most tricky angles.
The steep cliff, which would be impossible for ordinary people to climb, was as flat as flat ground under her feet.
The guard, Xiao Li, stared so hard his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Is this... is this still the same delicate family member who needed to be pampered and protected by their Commander Gu?
That skill level is even better than that of a special reconnaissance soldier!
In less than two minutes, Su Yue had climbed to the spot where the small stone was trapped.
Little Stone was terrified; his face was deathly pale, and his lips were trembling. When he saw Su Yue, tears streamed down his face.
"Aunt Su Yue... I... my leg..."
"Don't be afraid, Auntie is here."
Su Yue's voice was calm and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline, instantly calming Xiao Shitou's fearful emotions.
She steadied herself by gripping a sturdy vine with one hand, and with the other hand, she quickly reached into a crevice in the nearby rocks and plucked a lush, green plant.
"Open your mouth," she commanded.
Little Stone instinctively opened his mouth.
Su Yue didn't even look at it before stuffing the plant into her mouth and quickly chewing it up.
A strong bitter and grassy taste filled her mouth, but she didn't even flinch.
She precisely applied the chewed herbal paste to the small stone's bleeding wound.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
As soon as the dark green herbal mud came into contact with the wound, the blood that was still gushing out slowed down at a visible speed and finally solidified completely.
"pain……"
A sharp pain struck, and Little Stone's body began to tremble again.
"Just bear with it."
Su Yue pulled out several gleaming silver needles from somewhere with her empty hand. She aimed at the acupoints and, with quick, accurate, and ruthless movements, pierced several major acupoints around Xiao Shitou's wound without hesitation.
Little Stone felt a slight numbness in a few spots of his skin, and the excruciating pain actually lessened considerably.
He stared wide-eyed at Aunt Su Yue, who was healing him on the cliff face, and for a moment, he even forgot to cry.
Just then, a jumble of footsteps and shouts came from the top of the cliff.
"The rope is here!"
The guards, accompanied by several soldiers, arrived, panting heavily.
When they saw the breathtaking scene on the cliff face, they all gasped in shock.
"Quick! Save them!"
