114 Horrible Wound
◎It turns out that all these things are just my own wishful thinking.◎
A rare shyness appeared on Ye Yunzhao's face. He made up his mind and started to move his hands. He peeled the unconscious Chen Jingshan cleanly as if peeling a banana.
You wouldn't be able to tell how strong he is on a normal day. Now he is completely naked, with his upper body exposed and only a pair of long white underpants on his lower body.
Beneath his broad and sturdy shoulders were well-defined muscles. His sharp eyes were tightly closed, his nose was straight, and his body was split into light and dark by the warm light of the flames. The figure that Ye Yunzhao had only admired on social media in his previous life was right before his eyes. He was obviously stunned, and the shock was self-evident.
However, she has always been a little slow, and given the current situation, she didn't have any affectionate thoughts. She just secretly marveled at his "hidden talent" in her heart, and quickly hung the wet clothes she took off neatly on the tree rack.
The fire grew brighter, making people feel a little hot.
Ye Yunzhao dug out a piece of wet coarse cloth from the bag that looked like a treasure chest, and quickly wiped his upper body with it. Although there was a thick layer of cloth between them, she could not ignore the vigorous power that seemed to be gushing out of his muscles.
Ye Yunzhao felt as if he was dazed by the fire. He raised his warm little hands and slapped his face suddenly.
Then she carefully turned Chen Jingshan over, with his broad back facing up. Only then did Ye Yunzhao realize how shocking his wounds were.
The horrific wound was right next to the spine, with the skin and flesh turned outward, looking quite scary. In addition, the strong back muscles, arms on both sides, and even the lower back were covered with fine but unignorable abrasions.
She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and soon two tears fell. She gently wiped the area other than the wound, then quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears, picked up the small porcelain bottle filled with medicine powder, sighed, and carefully applied the medicine to the scratched area.
Soon, the small wounds were covered with light yellow powder.
Looking at the horrific wound, Ye Yunzhao hesitated. She first reached out and touched Chen Jingshan's forehead.
I don't know if it's because he's so strong, but he didn't catch a fever despite being so badly injured. It's a good thing he didn't catch a fever. If his forehead was burning hot at this moment, he would probably be dead...
His tense heart relaxed a little. After Ye Yunzhao repeatedly confirmed that there were no small stones in the wound, he carefully sprinkled the medicine powder on it.
"Hmm..." The muscles next to the wound twitched uncontrollably, and the unconscious Chen Jingshan actually let out a faint groan.
She quickly stopped what she was doing and leaned forward to call him anxiously: "Chen Jingshan? Wake up."
What responded to her was the sound of wind and rain whistling outside the cave.
Ye Yunzhao sat down in disappointment, with deep worry in his eyes. Then, no matter how carefully she applied the powder, he did not make a sound.
The strong wind made the vines at the entrance of the cave rustle. Her wet clothes stuck to her body and she couldn't help but shiver when the wind blew.
Ye Yunzhao hurriedly turned around, confirmed that it was still warm near Chen Jingshan, and stuffed a few branches into the fire. Then he got up and went to pack up the messy package.
His clothes were drying on the tree rack. She stood on one side, the unconscious Chen Jingshan on the other. Ye Yunzhao hesitated, but the dampness of her body had slightly swollen her tight skin. With a slight push of her toes, a puddle of water immediately squeezed out of the stone-like soles of her shoes.
She gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind. She first leaned over the tree stand and saw that Chen Jingshan was unconscious. Then she stealthily shrank back, quickly took off her outer clothes and hung them next to his clothes.
Water kept dripping from his wet clothes. The cave was divided into two by the tree frame. Ye Yunzhao found a stone and sat on the side near the cave entrance, feeling somewhat lonely.
The vines were shaking in the mountain wind, and through the gaps, she could see that it was pitch black outside.
Outside, there were the sounds of continuous rain and wind, and inside, there was the sound of burning branches. Normally, people would feel drowsy in such an environment, but Ye Yunzhao was not like that. She hugged her knees, with an indelible melancholy between her brows.
His wound was close to his spine... A bad thought suddenly came to her mind: Could his spine be injured?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Ye Yunzhao quickly cursed at the air. She didn't dare to think about the consequences. But if he became paralyzed and had to spend his days in a wheelchair... She suddenly said, "Impossible!"
If I hadn't been so anxious to return to Lingnan County, why would they have walked in the rain? If I had waited patiently for the rain to stop, how could I have fallen down the hillside, and how could Chen Jingshan have been injured while saving me...
Ye Yunzhao rubbed her face painfully. Self-blame mixed with guilt was like a mountain pressing down on her heart. Her breath was stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She tried to take a deep breath, but the heaviness in her chest did not ease at all. Then she buried her head in her knees as if in despair. After a while, she began to cry in a suppressed, tiny way.
Chen Jingshan was awakened by her crying. When he regained consciousness, he felt indescribable pain all over his limbs, especially his back, which felt like it was burning with fire. He tried his best to prop himself up, but his hands seemed out of control and only twitched slightly twice.
Suddenly, he felt the skin on his chest was rubbed by something and it hurt. Chen Jingshan lowered his eyes and realized that he was lying here almost naked!
What’s going on!?
His throat was so dry and painful, and he tried to speak, but no sound came out.
Chen Jingshan sighed in his heart. This feeling was not comfortable at all. He looked around where he was, somewhat at a loss. In front of him was a raging fire, and his clothes were hanging not far away!
Eh——
He felt a surge of curiosity. The green dress hanging nearby looked quite familiar. It seemed like the one he had given to Ah Zhao...
By the way, where are the Azhao people?
Didn’t she and I fall down the hill together?
When he thought of this, his brows were filled with anxiety and he wanted to get up immediately. At this moment, he suddenly heard suppressed crying from the other end of the clothes.
It’s A Zhao.
Chen Jingshan looked closely and realized that the clothes hanging out to dry framed her shadow in the firelight.
Although Ye Yunzhao was crying, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. He still had the energy to cry, thinking that it was nothing serious.
He looked at her with some longing, and a ridiculous thought came to his mind: At this moment, if he were that piece of clothing and could hug her shadow, he would die without regrets.
A crying voice suddenly rang out: "If I hadn't been in such a hurry to go back, how could you have been injured... I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
Before she finished speaking, Chen Jingshan squeezed out a few words with great effort: "A Zhao... nothing happened..."
Ye Yunzhao, who was still immersed in guilt a second ago, was startled by his sudden words. He was stunned on the spot, then suddenly stood up and ran towards Chen Jingshan: "Chen Jingshan?! Are you awake?!"
"Don't..." He couldn't stop himself and tried his best to cover himself with the straw.
As soon as she came over, she met eyes with Chen Jingshan, who had his upper body exposed. She realized belatedly that she was only wearing her underwear. Her face turned red and she squatted hurriedly behind the tree stand.
"I……"
"I……"
The two of them said in unison awkwardly: "You go first..."
Chen Jingshan said, "You speak first."
Ye Yunzhao hesitated for a moment: "How do you feel now? The wound has been treated with medicine, but are you injured anywhere else? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
There was concern in her words, and the corners of Chen Jingshan's mouth lifted involuntarily, as if he was afraid that she would worry: "It's much better now, don't worry."
"That's good." She nodded foolishly from across the tree stand. "I'm done. It's your turn."
Chen Jingshan said in a low voice: "Are you hurt?"
Hearing this, her heart softened, and she almost cried: "No, thanks to you."
"Why are you crying if you're not hurt?" He smiled dotingly and whispered to her, "Little fool."
Seeing her sobbing softly behind the tree stand, Chen Jingshan said again: "Don't cry, I'm fine..."
Who would have thought that before he could finish his words, Ye Yunzhao suddenly broke down and burst into tears, muttering to himself:
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I caused you to be seriously injured...
I'm not lying to you, actually...actually, I always thought you were quite treacherous and didn't look like a good person, but today..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile that Chen Jingshan had been unable to control just now froze on his face.
What does it mean to be quite treacherous?
What does it mean to not look like a good person?
He scratched his ears in disbelief, remembering how she hugged him and called him "husband" when they first met, how she traded a pastry recipe for a quilt from him, and how he tried every possible way to save her when she was trapped in the exam room...
This is not like a good person?
Before this, Chen Jingshan had never felt this way. In fact, he had always felt that Ye Yunzhao loved him. How could he not love him after doing all these things?
He asked in disbelief, "I don't look like a good person, so why did you not only hug me when we first met, but also... you called me... husband?"
Ye Yunzhao didn't know what was wrong. She would never say these things in her heart in the past, but tonight, it was like pouring out beans from a bamboo tube. She sobbed a few times with a hoarse voice:
"We were being chased by clerks for a long time, and I bumped into you by accident. But Madam Cuihua knew you... It's easier to talk to someone you know, so I came up with this plan to escape..."
Chen Jingshan then remembered that it was indeed she who bumped into his arms first, and after Sister Cuihua recognized him, she hugged him and called him husband...
His face froze, as if cracked.
"At the time, I was thinking, who wouldn't be angry if a stranger called them 'husband' in public?" Ye Yunzhao's voice gradually lowered. "I guess... he's a casual person, so he's not surprised by such situations..."
Chen Jingshan's face became increasingly worse, almost breaking into pieces.
It turns out that these things were all my wishful thinking.
