Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Such a stingy man
Summer rainstorms come quickly and go away quickly.
Before, they clearly saw that this thunderstorm seemed to be about to destroy the world, but after they entered the cave, just over an hour later, the rain gradually stopped.
Chen Yang couldn't wait to get out of the cave.
"Hugo has really stopped." He turned around and said to everyone happily.
After traveling together for so long, it was rare for everyone to see him express his emotions like this. He must be very happy.
However, when Wang Hu and others came out of the cave, they understood why he looked so happy.
On the road ahead, a small group of people were walking towards this direction. They were all wet, especially the one in the middle who was limping and was supported by his colleagues.
But everyone saw that they did not look in a mess after being drenched by heavy rain for more than an hour, and they all seemed to be in good spirits.
The scouts who were sent out to explore the way ahead and the team who went to search for people later returned.
At this time, the dark clouds had dispersed, revealing the sky. Above the left side of the mountain where they were taking shelter from the rain, a neon light hung high up, shining brightly in the sun.
"Be careful of the water dripping on your head." Su Guanzhang whispered, holding Xuan Jinyu with one hand and putting the other hand on her head to block the water droplets flowing down the mountain.
On the other side, Chen Yang had already understood the situation with the scouts.
It turned out that when he was exploring the road ahead, he accidentally disturbed a poisonous snake. In order to avoid the snake's attack, he accidentally stepped on a trap left by a hunter and fell into the trap.
Fortunately, the people Chen Yang sent out found him not long after and rescued him.
"Is your leg okay?" Chen Yang saw that he was limping, and his left trouser leg was wet and there was a lot of bright color flowing, so he squatted down and personally checked the man's injury.
The trouser legs were lifted up, and the people next to him gasped.
The scout's left calf was covered in blood. When he unwrapped the cloth that wrapped the wound, he saw a huge bloody hole across his ankle.
The scout wiped the remaining rain from his face and grinned. "The poisonous snake didn't bite me, but the trap in the pit did take a big bite out of me," he said with a hint of humor in his tone.
"Then you are really lucky." Chen Yang said unhappily. It was such a late hour and he was still making jokes here.
The scout took the dry towel handed to him by his colleague and wiped his face roughly. He was not annoyed or embarrassed when he heard the insults from his superiors, and he still looked cheerful.
"Your wound is too deep," Chen Yang said after the examination. "You need to see a doctor as soon as possible."
He stood up and saw that the scout was still smiling. He got angry and punched him hard on the shoulder. "Still smiling! You're still smiling even though your legs are almost broken."
The scout hissed and finally put away his smile.
Lieutenant Chen hit me too hard, he muttered to himself.
But Chen Yang was also worried about him. He knew what was going on and had no complaints.
"Where can I find a doctor for you in this desolate mountain area?" Chen Yang muttered to himself, feeling a little worried.
This team will be on the road for a year or two. There are old, weak, women, children, and even a twin. Why didn't anyone think of finding a doctor to accompany them?
That’s right.
Who treated Madam Xuan Xiaoshao's severe pregnancy reaction a while ago? Who treated Madam Su's broken bones when she fell?
They don't just want regular professional doctors.
When he finally remembered that there was indeed someone with medical skills in the team, he turned around and saw that Su Guanzhang had already handed Xuan Jinyu over to the care of Xuan Wensheng and Xu Yu Niang. He walked forward and squatted down.
At this moment, Su Guanzhang had already carefully examined the wound.
"The wound is not poisonous, but it has been soaked in rainwater for quite a long time and the wound is too deep, so it needs to be treated as soon as possible." He checked it and said to the scout who also squatted down.
"If it needs to be sutured, can you bear the pain?" Su Guanzhang asked.
His wound was too big and bleeding was still flowing. It needed to be stitched up properly to avoid ruining his leg.
The scout looked at his superior Chen Yang, and seeing him nod, he went to look at Su Guanzhang, "Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Su." He said a little nervously.
Due to excessive blood loss, his face was now pale and blue. Only because he was always strong and healthy could he hold on until this moment.
Su Guanzhang took the medicine box handed over by Xuan Jinyu, sprinkled the medicinal wine he had made a few days ago on the wound, and first washed off the dirt and leaves on the wound.
The blood flowed down his trouser legs to the ground and mixed with the raindrops dripping from his body.
"Go into the cave first and change into clean clothes. I'll take care of it for you later." Su Guanzhang stood up and blocked Xuan Jinyu's view.
Xuan Jinyu poked him on the lower back and snorted.
What a stingy man! It’s not something that shouldn’t be seen, why not let her see it?
Xuan Wensheng: “…” He didn’t know who to talk to for a moment.
One is indeed a little narrow-minded; the other is a little too curious. She is also pregnant, and she is not afraid of scaring herself, but also the baby in her belly?!
Xu Yuniang smiled and helped Xuan Jinyu turn around. "Jinyu, you are a double body. You can't watch such a bloody scene."
Xuan Jinyu could be willful and quarrel with Su Guanzhang, but she was always well-behaved in front of her mother-in-law, and she agreed obediently when she heard the words.
Xu Yu Niang touched her head with a smile.
By the time Su Guanzhang had sutured the scout's wound and watched him take the pill, the people who had returned had changed their clothes and it was almost time for dinner.
"Let's not rush on our way yet," Chen Yang came over with the people he had sent to explore the way. "A large tree has fallen ahead, blocking the road. It's too late to clear it now."
Su Guanzhang nodded and swam downstream to wash off the smell of blood and herbs on his hands. "It's getting late, and we've all been caught in the rain today. Let's boil some ginger water to get rid of the cold."
Although the cave was well ventilated, they still had to rest inside at night. Since the rain had stopped, the two cooks brought by Xuan Wensheng started a fire outside the cave and set up an iron pot.
Seeing this, Chen Yang and Wang Hu also asked their men to move the firewood outside the cave.
It rains a lot in this season, and after getting caught in the rain, you need to dispel the cold in time. Xuan Wensheng recently purchased a lot of ginger and cold-relieving herbs, which come in handy now.
The mountain was cool, and after everyone had their meal and drank ginger soup, they all returned to the cave to rest.
It started raining again in the second half of the night, drizzling.
Xuan Jinyu was sleeping in a daze. She only felt her body wrapped in a thin blanket by Su Guanzhang and held in his arms. She changed to a comfortable sleeping position without paying much attention, leaned on him and soon fell asleep again.
As dawn was about to break, the white falcon Jade Claw, who had been resting quietly on the roof of the carriage, cried out.
The voice was high-pitched, as if it came from the air, and it echoed in the cave.
A group of martial artists sat up alertly.
A dangerous aura moved silently, approaching everyone.
With a "ding" sound, a soldier on guard quickly threw out a dagger and stabbed it into the vital point of a small black snake with great accuracy and ferocity.
"It's a snake crossing the mountain." Chen Yang, who was awakened by the cry of the white falcon, walked over, picked up the dead little snake, and said to Wang Hu beside him, letting out a breath of foul air in fear.
The soldier stood up and stood in front of Chen Yang with some guilt, "Boss, it's my fault that I didn't find the snake in time."
His hands were shaking as he flung the dagger, fearing the snake would suddenly attack. The snake's venom was so strong that if it injured anyone, there would be no hope of recovery.
Chen Yang patted his shoulder and said, "You should be more alert next time you keep watch."
He turned to Wang Hu and said, "We must get out of this mountain today. There are too many poisonous creatures."
Wang Hu nodded, "We must also be careful of wild animals. When we send people out to explore the way again, my people will go with them to keep an eye on them."
Chen Yang agreed.
The officer returned to his position and continued to guard.
But there is no need to keep vigil anymore.
Because of what happened just now, almost everyone was awakened. Now the sky was a little blue, and it was almost dawn, so it was impossible to fall asleep again.
Many people stood up one after another and listened to the conversation between Chen Yang and others.
Xuan Jinyu was not awakened by the white falcon's cry that could break through the sky, but her sleep was disturbed by such rustling noises.
Without opening her eyes, she buried her head in Su Guanzhang's arms. "What's wrong? Are you going to get up?" she asked in a daze.
"It's okay, you continue sleeping." Su Guanzhang had just picked up Xuan Jinyu and sat her up. Hearing her sleepy questions, he kissed her forehead and comforted her.
So Xuan Jinyu rubbed against his arms and continued to sleep.
It was not until she woke up from a good sleep that she heard Su Guanzhang telling her what happened in the morning.
Everyone in the cave had left, and only Su Guanzhang was left guarding the sleeping Xuan Jinyu. At this time, the only living people in the huge cave were the couple.
With the help of Su Guanzhang, Xuan Jinyu quickly finished washing up, but she was not in a hurry to go out of the cave to have breakfast. Instead, she asked Su Guanzhang to pick her up and go to see the jade claw.
"You saved us." She reached out and touched Bai Falcon's head.
The white falcon's round brown eyes stared straight at Xuan Jinyu. After a long while, it lowered its head and rubbed her hand with its dry little head.
Even though I had touched the white falcon's head yesterday, it was still wet and even after wiping it with a dry towel, its fur was still frizzy.
Now the feathers on its wings have dried out and feel very good to the touch.
The touch is very smooth, like touching a piece of high-quality silk, but it is also very delicate and firm. If you touch it carefully, you can also feel a layer of oiliness on it, and it has good elasticity and is slightly cool to the touch.
Xuan Jinyu couldn't help but touch it again and again.
The white falcon half-closed its eyes in satisfaction, enjoying her touch, without any awareness of being a ferocious bird.
"It's time for breakfast." Su Guanzhang carried her down and put her on the ground. "Grandma and the others are waiting for us." He said without any emotion.
"Su Guanzhang, is this jade claw a female bird or a male bird?" Xuan Jinyu suddenly had an idea.
Su Guanzhang had already taken the water bag. He didn't think much about it and replied casually, "A male bird." He had seen it yesterday when he was treating the white falcon's injuries.
Xuan Jinyu understood and glanced at him sideways. "What a stingy man," she said.
Her idea yesterday was indeed a good one. Her eyes and eyebrows were curved, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood.
