After hearing Chen's promise, Li Xia reluctantly let go of his hand.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon."
Liaochen saw Lixia drooping her eyelids and thought she was afraid of being alone.
After all, she is just a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage.
It's normal to be afraid.
Li Xia nodded gently, "Yeah."
After Liaochen told Lixia not to move until he came back, he rushed into the rain.
He walked to the area where they encountered the Hundred-Step Viper.
I searched carefully around in the heavy rain.
When Liaochen was a child, he met a woodcutter who went up the mountain to collect firewood. From the knowledgeable woodcutter, he learned about the shape of the snake grass that contains the venom of the hundred-step snake.
It was also the woodcutter who told Chen.
Wherever there are poisonous snakes, there will be corresponding detoxifying herbs around.
All things are interdependent and mutually restrained, which is the wisdom passed down by our ancestors.
"Snake grass!"
Liaochen rummaged through the thick grass for a long time and finally found the snake-detoxifying grass that the woodcutter had mentioned.
The shape, the smell, the color are all right.
He dug out the grass intact.
On the way back.
Liaochen picked a few red fruits.
The rain is getting heavier.
Judging from the situation, I’m afraid it won’t stop for a while.
Bring some fruits back with you to satisfy your hunger.
"I'm back." Lechen ran back to the cave. He looked like he had been fished out of the water. He was completely wet and his clothes were dripping with water.
He stopped at the entrance of the cave, wrung out the excess rain water from his hem and cuffs before stepping closer to Li Xia.
Maybe even Lechen himself didn't notice it.
Ever since Li Xia was bitten by a poisonous snake while saving him, he has always referred to himself as ""myself"" in front of her.
Although he still looked cold.
But he was willing to take the initiative to talk to Li Xia.
It is now late autumn.
The temperature is getting lower day by day.
It's even worse on rainy days.
Li Xia, who was caught in the rain, didn't know whether it was because her clothes were wet or because she was bitten by a snake.
She leaned against the wall, curled up into a small ball, and was shivering.
When Liaochen approached, he noticed that Lixia was abnormal.
The thick rain and fog made visibility inside the cave very low.
But even in this dim cave, Lechen could see the paleness on Li Xia's face.
"What's wrong with you?" He squatted in front of Li Xia and raised the back of his hand to measure the temperature of her forehead. "Your forehead is so hot."
Liaochen frowned.
At this moment, he did not care about the difference between men and women, he quickly tore open the trouser legs of Li Xia's underwear.
The calf that was bitten by the venomous snake has become swollen.
The wound was also turning black.
This is a symptom that the snake venom is spreading.
"The snake venom in your calf must be removed, otherwise the poison will soon spread to your entire body." Lechen looked at Li Xia seriously and said.
Li Xia was in a daze, her eyes were blurred by the burning, and she only saw a good-looking bald man squatting in front of him. His ruthless-looking thin lips were opening and closing, and no one knew what he was saying.
Liaochen saw this.
I also realized that she was delirious due to the fever.
He no longer sought Li Xia's consent.
Liaochen bent down.
The cold thin lips fell on Li Xia's calf.
"Um……"
Li Xia's whole body was burning with fever, and she longed for more cool touch.
He kept twisting his body, trying to put out the fire running through his body.
Liaochen's mouth kept moving.
He raised his arms and pressed Li Xia's shoulders to prevent her from moving.
One bite, two bites...
Lechen sucked the poisonous blood from Li Xia's calf and spit it out on the ground.
Not until the blood flowing from that place turned bright red again did he raise his head from Li Xia's legs.
Lechen took a breath.
Then.
He took out the snake grass and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
The bitter juice filled his mouth.
Lechen didn't frown at all.
When he had almost finished chewing, he covered the place where Li Xia was bitten by the snake with the snake grass, then tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his monk's robe and wrapped it around her calf.
After Lechen finished all this, Lixia fell asleep quietly.
He wanted to keep some distance from her.
Knowing that Li Xia was still running a fever, Lechen had no choice but to put aside the rules and stay by her side.
"Cold... so cold~"
Li Xia was trembling in her sleep.
Liaochen touched her cloak, which was not much better than the monk's robe he was wearing.
We can't let her sleep like this.
She's wet all over and still having a fever. If I leave her alone, I'm afraid her condition will get worse.
If you develop a lung fever, it can be fatal.
"Wake up." Lechen shook Lixia's shoulders, trying to wake her up.
"You can't sleep. Your clothes are all wet. You'll get sick if you sleep like this."
Li Xia was in a trance and heard someone whispering in her ear.
She struggled to open her heavy eyelids.
The enlarged handsome face of Liaochen appeared in her pupils.
Li Xia's eyes became clearer.
"You're back?" Her voice was a little hoarse, and she spoke weakly, looking listless.
While she was waiting for Lachen, she suddenly felt a wave of cold and heat in her body.
Afterwards, I became drowsy and confused, and I didn't remember what happened.
"Well, how are you?"
Liaochen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lixia regain consciousness.
She can still recognize him, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Now I can't let her sleep any longer.
"Cold~"
Li Xia shuddered.
It would have been fine if he didn't ask, but as soon as he asked, her whole body started shaking.
