After hearing what Xu Laosan said, Xu Xinning left with a sullen face. She prayed in her heart that Mu Jingheng would not have any accidents, otherwise she and Xu Laosan would not be able to escape the responsibility.
With something on her mind, Xu Xinning walked very quickly, so much so that she didn't hear anyone calling her.
Wang Ying found it strange. Judging from Xu Xinning's anxious and flustered appearance, something must have happened. She didn't chase after Xu Xinning, but quickly went to the Xu family home.
After entering the mountain, Xu Xinning used her lightness skill and arrived at an inconspicuous crevice in a few breaths. The crevice was overgrown with weeds, and if you didn't look carefully, you really wouldn't realize that this place was the entrance to the sinkhole.
Perhaps because it was damp inside, many mushrooms and damp-loving herbs grew in the cracks of the rocks.
Xu Xinning discovered this place by chance while collecting herbs.
However, Xu Xinning also had her own selfish motives. She had already regarded this place as her own territory. Putting everything else aside, she didn't want to be disturbed when she wanted to soak in the hot spring. So she had made some kind of illusion around the crack in the rock.
But she couldn't care less at this point. She quickly pushed aside everything that was in the way and squeezed herself into the crevice between the rocks.
The pool wasn't large, and the surrounding grass was very lush, so Mu Jingheng wasn't visible at all.
Xu Xinning was very anxious. She didn't know if Mu Jingheng had come here, how long he had been here if he had, or if he was injured.
When Xu Xinning reached the edge of the cliff, she noticed a rope still hanging there. It seemed that Mu Jingheng had really come here. He must have used the rope to help him down. Perhaps he had even tried to gather herbs for her on this cliff.
Why does the thought of this possibility make my heart ache so much?
Since she couldn't see him, she was certain he was in danger, which was the last thing Xu Xinning wanted to see.
Xu Xinning searched along the cliff, parting the dense grass, and unexpectedly found bloodstains on the rocks.
Xu Xinning's heart tightened even more. She silently prayed that he was not in any danger. Even if he was left with his last breath, she was confident that she could pull him back from the brink of death.
Following the trail of blood, she finally found Mu Jingheng lying there motionless.
He was lying on the grass, with one of his legs in a very strange position.
Xu Xinning's heart skipped a beat, and she felt her breathing quicken.
She was now certain that he had fallen from there.
But with his skills, that shouldn't be the case.
Despite her doubts, Xu Xinning rushed to Mu Jingheng's side immediately, because time is life for the patient.
Mu Jingheng's exposed skin had changed color, even his lips were bluish-purple, his leg was broken, and an examination revealed snake bite marks on his arm.
Xu Xinning guessed that he was bitten by a snake while hanging on the cliff to collect herbs, otherwise he would have been alert and would not have fallen from there.
Judging from Mu Jingheng's pulse, if it weren't for Xu Xinning's superb medical skills and her access to the sophisticated equipment in the space, he would probably be lying here forever.
Xu Xinning took him into the space without hesitation. She was going to expel the snake venom from him and also set his bones.
As soon as he entered the space, he was given antivenom, but because the snake venom had been in his body for too long, Mu Jingheng couldn't wake up for a while.
In addition to a comminuted fracture of one leg, he also had numerous abrasions on his body and face.
It's estimated that he was scraped by the cliff face when he fell.
Before performing surgery on him, Xu Xinning wiped his body clean. She didn't know why she felt a little shy, something she had never done before when treating patients.
Her face was burning hot. Xu Xinning patted her face and muttered to herself, "I'm possessed!"
Mu Jingheng had a piece of skin scraped off his face, which looked quite horrifying at first glance. Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, and it would probably heal completely with some medicine. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his face.
After Xu Xinning set his bones, she only used readily available wood from the mountain to fix them. Otherwise, if she did it too well and then took him down the mountain, it would be impractical for others to see.
After performing surgery in the space for more than two hours, Xu Xinning made a simple stretcher-like thing out of readily available wood and rattan. However, one side had a handrail like a trolley, while the other side did not.
After finishing, Xu Xinning exited the sinkhole.
As darkness fell, the occasional sounds of animals could be heard.
This was the first time Xu Xinning had been in this mountain so late at night, and it was impossible for her not to be afraid, so she used her light-footed skills to run quickly.
Only after they left the deep mountains did Xu Xinning release Mu Jingheng. At that moment, she heard voices calling her and Mu Jingheng from afar, guessing that her family was worried because she hadn't returned home so late.
Xu Xinning pulled the unconscious Mu Jingheng toward the newcomer.
"Sister, sister, it's my sister, my sister is back!" Xu Laosan shouted loudly.
Xu Laosan had wanted to visit the sinkhole for a long time, but he didn't dare to take anyone with him. He always remembered Xu Xinning saying that it would be dangerous without her, and he also couldn't be sure if Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng were there.
If they weren't there, and this secret were to be revealed, he felt his sister would dislike him.
Xu Laosan didn't want to mess with his older sister. She looked gentle, but if you offended her, you would definitely suffer a terrible fate.
Xu Mingyang and Jiang Juecheng hadn't expected Mu Jingheng to actually be in trouble, and they were really worried. On their way to find him, they scolded Xu Laosan a lot, thinking he was too good at hiding things and didn't tell his family about such a big thing.
