Chapter 4: Saving Lu Yan
"Then can you find daddy first?" Xiao Yao brought Gu Leyou back to his senses, "It's raining too heavily outside." His voice became softer and softer, as if he could cry at any time.
"Okay, then you wait at home obediently. I'll go find Brother Lu." Gu Leyou agreed without hesitation, stood up and put on his raincoat, and reminded him again, "Don't run around."
Lu Ting was dragged into this because of the Gu family's troubles. She didn't know what means Yang used to force him to go into the mountains to hunt and raise money, but with such heavy rain, it must be dangerous in the mountains. If something really happened to Lu Ting, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Moreover, some medicinal herbs are needed to treat Xiaoyao's illness, so she has to go into the mountains to collect them anyway.
"Lu Ting! Brother Lu!" The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Even though Gu Leyou was wearing a straw raincoat, she was soaked to the bone. The heavy rain blurred her vision. She could not see anything except the herbs right in front of her. She could only shout to find someone.
"Brother Lu!" She shouted while identifying the medicinal herbs around her and groping forward, which was very difficult.
In her previous life, she had gone into the mountains many times to collect herbs, but despite the help of the weather forecast, she had never gone into the mountains on a rainstorm. At this moment, all her experience was useless. The mountain road was muddy and her feet kept slipping.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly saw a figure lying on the ground in front of her. Very few people went into the mountains in this weather, so that person was most likely Lu Ting!
Gu Leyou became anxious and lost his balance, rolling and falling in front of the figure. She didn't care about the wounds scratched by branches and vines, and hurriedly climbed forward to check. The man was indeed the unconscious Lu Ting.
He had a severe bite wound on his shoulder, and it looked like simple measures had been taken to stop the bleeding, but the effort was almost futile in the pouring rain.
"Brother Lu, wake up, Brother Lu!" Gu Leyou was extremely anxious and kept shouting.
Such a serious wound must be treated as soon as possible. She had no tools or medicines at hand, so she had to take him to a place with better environment first. However, she really did not have the strength to drag an unconscious man down the mountain.
The heavy rain showed no sign of letting up. Gu Leyou's voice became hoarse from shouting. His body could no longer bear it and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
No way… It’s only been two days since I traveled through time, and I haven’t had time to experience life properly, but I’m going to die again? Is it so unlucky?
Gu Leyou could no longer hold up her heavy eyelids, so she closed her eyes and fell beside Lu Ting.
But... her consciousness did not sink into the abyss. Instead, she gradually felt the warmth and her mind became clear.
Gu Leyou slowly opened his eyes, only to find that he was no longer on the mountain full of despair, and there were no raindrops as big as beans falling on his head. Instead, there was a space full of spring.
There were lush trees and grass, and the air was filled with a sweet scent. The whole space was warm, and her hands, which had long been frozen, regained the feeling of touch.
What is this place? Could it be that I have unlocked some golden finger like the protagonist in the novel?
Gu Leyou looked around and found that all kinds of herbs were growing in the space. There were not many rare and precious species, most of them were commonly used basic medicinal materials. In addition to the medicinal herbs, there is also an unusual spring.
The spring water exudes a faint medicinal fragrance, the water is crystal clear, and it shines brightly when facing the sunlight.
After experiencing countless adventures, Gu Leyou boldly opened his mind and asked, "Could this spring water cure all diseases?"
So she filled the water bag she had prepared when she entered the mountain with some spring water, and also brought a lot of medicinal herbs, repeating to herself countless times, "Let me go back, let me go back, let me go back..."
Soon, the cold raindrops reappeared in her consciousness, and she was really back.
Gu Leyou opened his eyes, took a deep breath of the humid air, and confirmed the reality of the moment.
However, with Lu Ting lying next to her, who was not far from death, she did not have much time to lament her adventure. Saving lives was the most important thing.
At this time, the rain had become much lighter. Gu Leyou was full of energy after returning from the space. He dragged Lu Ting to a relatively dry place and poured the spring water in the water bag into Lu Ting's mouth.
She took Lu Ting's wrist pulse and observed his condition. She found that he was clearly alive after drinking the water. His pulse was beating strongly and he was no longer in the dying state not long ago.
"This thing works better than adrenaline!" Gu Leyou exclaimed in admiration. He began to undress Lu Ting and planned to help him treat his wounds.
After removing his clothes, Gu Leyou was shocked to see that Lu Ting's body was covered with scars, the density of which was shocking. Moreover, these scars were obviously not left by hunting, but more like... being left by swords, spears, halberds and various weapons.
He is definitely not an ordinary hunter. Who is he?
She still remembered Xiao Yao's old illness. Although it was called an old illness, it was actually more like some strange poison. She just couldn't believe that a child born in such a remote village would be poisoned.
But now seeing Lu Ting's body covered with scars, everything made sense.
Not long after bandaging the wound, Lu Ting woke up and was startled to see Gu Leyou beside him, "Why are you here?"
"I came to find you." Gu Leyou told the truth.
"Did you wrap it?" Lu Ting pointed at his shoulder.
Gu Leyou nodded.
A fierce light flashed in Lu Ting's eyes.
Gu Leyou frowned, "I saw your old injuries, but don't worry, I won't ask about your affairs, and I won't tell anyone. Everyone has secrets."
The murderous aura around Lu Ting dissipated, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face. "Sorry... I was too nervous. Thank you for saving my life."
"No need, you saved me before." Gu Leyou sighed, "and my aunt's trouble with you is also related to me." She paused, and then said, "I heard from Xiaoyao that she asked you for a large sum of money. How much did she ask? I'll pay for it, you just rest and recover, don't worry about this matter."
"Have you met Xiao Yao?" Lu Ting was focusing on something completely different.
"Of course, otherwise how would I know you were in the mountains." Gu Leyou stood up and patted the dust off his body. "I also promised to help Xiaoyao treat his illness, but I have to go home first. I will visit Xiaoyao next time. It's okay for you to go back by yourself, right?"
She felt that Lu Ting might not be willing to let her send him off, and his physical condition had improved after drinking the spiritual spring water, except that he was still a little weak due to excessive blood loss.
"Let me treat you to dinner." Lu Ting made the invitation a little stiffly. He felt that he had to express his gratitude in some way for saving his life, but he didn't know how to thank Gu Leyou, so he had to use the simplest and most brutal way.
“…”
Life-saving grace? Just treat him to a meal, he is a very simple person!
Gu Leyou waved his hands and said, "It's already daybreak. My parents and Leshu must be worried sick if I don't go home all night. Maybe next time."
After saying that, Gu Leshu walked down the mountain.
Lu Yan watched her leave.
As soon as I got home, my parents and Gu Leshu came out to greet me.
