Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Jinjiang First Release
Chapter 37
Su Li avoided looking at him any further, lest Cui Jue misunderstand that she was secretly blaspheming him.
Su Li changed out of her outer garment and underpants, leaving only the light yellow bellyband that covered her chest. After her undergarment was half dry, she grabbed her coarse cloth dress and put it on.
At this point, the young lady's two white and slender legs were bare and knocked against the edge of the couch. The wind blew under her robe, and the roots of her legs were cold, making her shiver.
Su Li originally wanted to put on her pants, but when she thought about the inconvenience of having to treat her leg injury later, she decided not to bother.
Besides, she and Cui Jue had done everything before, so it seemed too pretentious for her to be shy and cover up now.
Su Li jumped off the bed on one foot. She struggled to wring out the hot towel in the basin and carefully wiped off the lake water and sand on her legs.
Su Li took a closer look at the wound. Although there was no bleeding, it was obvious that the arrow was stuck in the flesh, causing a bulge.
Although such an injury can stop bleeding temporarily, it is very likely to cause ulceration. She still needs to pick out the arrowhead in time.
But there were no doctors tonight. Even if Su Li wanted to heal her wound, she could only apply compresses to her legs and chew numbing pills to relieve the pain. If she took the numbing herbs, her hands would lose strength and she would definitely not be able to break through the flesh.
What should I do?
Su Li timidly glanced at Cui Jue after he took a bath. She thought that Cui Jue must know how to treat the injuries on the battlefield because of his experience in marching and fighting.
"My Lord, I heard that you have fought in many battles, and you are truly a peerless hero..."
Upon hearing this, Cui Jue looked at her with scrutiny and said calmly, "Madam Su, you have something to ask for."
He immediately guessed the purpose of Su Li's attentive flattery, and the words he said were not questions, but words with a firm tone.
Su Li no longer wanted to beat around the bush with this exceptionally intelligent young master. She lifted her injured leg, her arch tensed, and said to Cui Jue, "Earlier, while trying to save Si Niang, I was accidentally struck by a stray arrow. The arrowhead is still embedded in my flesh. The bleeding has stopped, and the pain has subsided, but if this continues, I'll definitely lose my leg."
Su Li deliberately brought up Cui Shunying, intending to use his half-sister's life to awaken Cui Jue's few consciences.
"If my legs and feet are inconvenient, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you wholeheartedly in the future. I hope you can be kind enough to help me this time, remove the arrowheads that are still stained with blood, and then bandage my wounds..."
Cui Jue was rarely kind. He did not refuse. Instead, he walked forward slowly, gently clasped Su Li's naked ankle with his long fingers, and pulled it to her knees.
Cui Jue lowered his thick eyelashes, looked at the wound calmly, and knew what was going on.
Before the arrow was shot at Su Li, it should have pierced through the car wall and then pierced Su Li's leg flesh. In this way, the momentum of the arrow was slowed down and the lethality would be greatly weakened.
Fortunately, it did not penetrate the muscles and bones, but just sank into the skin and flesh. I just used a thin blade to pick out the hard object.
Cui Jue usually fought on the battlefield, and for such wounds, he would just stab them with a burning knife and pull out the arrowhead with a stab of his backhand. But Su Li had delicate skin and was very delicate. She would turn red and blue if pinched casually, and her face would be covered with tears if she felt a little pain. Could she really bear it?
Cui Jue glanced at her quietly and said in a deep voice, "It will hurt."
Su Li naturally knew what Cui Jue was talking about. She grabbed a handful of anaesthetic painkillers, chewed them twice, and placed them on the wound. After the herbal juice had soaked through the wound and the tactile sensation in her leg bones had dulled, she looked at Cui Jue with a determined gaze, "I don't want to... become a cripple."
Cui Jue was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was saying that if she delayed healing, her legs would be crippled.
The young lady loves beauty, how could she think about her disability?
Since that was the case, Cui Jue didn't try to persuade him any further.
He went out and borrowed a small meat-cutting knife from the old lady. After cleaning it, he heated it with candlelight until it turned red and waited for the blade to cool down.
Cui Jue calculated the position of the arrowhead and pressed the blade against the side of Su Li's leg.
Su Li was forced to lift her legs and cooperate with Cui Jue's treatment.
She was nervous, afraid of the pain and the wound eroding, so she could only wait nervously, her palms covered with sticky hot sweat.
The man's originally moist slender fingers had been dried by the fire and were now pressing on Su Li's soft skin.
Cui Jue's fingertips were rough and had a subtle sharp touch that was extremely difficult to ignore.
Especially when he was doing things, his eyebrows were slightly drooping, his expression was focused, he was too close, and his warm breath rose and fell, burning Su Li so much that she couldn't help but pull up her knees.
But before Su Li could pull away, her ankle was forcibly grabbed by Cui Jue's cold hand again.
The man's finger bones fit perfectly with her white ankles, and his tiger's mouth wrapped around her calves just right.
However, with a twist of her wrist, Su Li was pulled back by Cui Jue in an instant.
"Don't move."
The man's voice was cold, with a hint of reprimand.
Su Li had no choice but to have her skinny legs lifted up by Cui Jue again.
However, Su Li was not wearing any underwear, her fair skin was naked, pressing against Cui Jue's rough green clothes, and her knees were touching his hard knees.
It's a bit cold.
The sharp blade approached the wound again.
It felt like being licked by a snake, and the chill was so intense that she shivered.
Seeing that she was about to move again, Cui Jue held her tighter.
Then, the man quickly cut her without waiting for Su Li to react.
Bright red blood instantly overflowed and flowed onto Cui Jue's robe, but in the blink of an eye, the arrowhead was quickly peeled off by the man's knife tip and fell to the ground.
Su Li only knew that Cui Jue's movements were extremely fast, and beneath the thin muscles of his arms, there was explosive power that could make people's hearts and livers tremble.
But after the surprise, the pain came quickly, and even the anesthetic could not stop the excruciating pain.
Su Li knew that her serious illness had been cured and she would be fine as long as she waited for the wound to heal. But after she felt relieved, she was overwhelmed by the pain that surged over her. She couldn't help but sob softly with tears in her almond-shaped eyes.
The woman's sobbing sound was a bit noisy.
Cui Jue was caught off guard by the crying and felt a sharp pain in his forehead. He tried to persuade her that it would hurt, but Su Li didn't listen.
Cui Jue didn't know what to say, so he could only purse his lips and calmly help her apply medicine and bandage the wound.
After the incident was over, Cui Jue said with a hint of meaning, "Su Li, aren't you very good at enduring pain?"
"Ah?" Su Li's tears welled up in her eyes and she froze for a moment.
After a moment, she realized that Cui Jue was talking about the time when she had sex and endured the pain despite it being so painful...
Su Li was speechless and even forgot to cry.
How can the events of that day be compared to the healing I am undergoing today? One is the pain of the heart, the other is the physical training.
She had already felt wronged enough, yet Cui Jue took this opportunity to ridicule her... It was obvious that this man was a vicious and evil Shura!
Su Li rarely showed her temper and pulled her leg back fiercely.
But the moment she moved her feet, her long gown fluttered open, revealing her legs.
The delicate area below the lower abdomen is almost visible.
Cui Jue accidentally saw a bunch of lush black grass... and was speechless.
His finger bones curled slightly, and he immediately realized that Su Li was so bold and presumptuous to be so frank with him.
Cui Jue's voice was cold: "Su Li, you are not wearing any underwear..."
Su Li was stunned. She pulled her clothes up with a guilty conscience, but still felt it was not enough, so she pulled the red quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks to her waist and covered herself with it.
Su Li said confidently, "I'm just worried that it will be difficult for the eldest master to apply the medicine."
What if she was fully dressed and Cui Jue was too bothersome to help her remove the arrowhead? She was just taking precautions.
Besides, the old lady only brought a thin pair of pants, so it was not good to trouble her to run errands. Moreover, the dress she brought was soaked in lake water and had not dried yet.
Cui Jue remained silent.
Su Li had offended Cui Jue and was caught red-handed. She felt guilty, so she lowered her voice even more: "Besides, I don't treat the eldest young master as an outsider. You should be happy. Why are you scolding me so harshly? You really don't know how to behave..."
