Chapter 151 Save me? (Second update)
The rain hits the branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.
A few drops of star rain splashed down, and the air was filled with moisture.
Ye Chutang glanced outside and said, "It's raining. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while."
She turned her head, looked at the man beside her, and apologized softly: "I'm really sorry for causing trouble for you, Prince."
After slipping and falling down from halfway up the mountain, the road was bumpy. Fortunately, there was a slightly protruding mountain bend below. Even more fortunately, there was a cave hidden behind the lush climbing vines, which happened to be a relatively safe shelter.
The cave is not big, but it is more than enough to accommodate two people.
However, Shen Yanchuan ignored her words. His dark phoenix eyes swept across her pale face and finally stopped at her left shoulder.
"This dart needs to be dealt with as soon as possible," he said.
Ye Chutang blinked, and suddenly a very subtle feeling arose - Chen Yanchuan was angry.
He escaped from danger and is now finally safe. Why is he so angry?
Ye Chutang wondered secretly, it couldn't be that he had several scratches on his body because he was trying to protect her when he rolled down just now?
Admittedly, she had never seen Chen Yanchuan with dusty clothes and a disheveled appearance like this, but there was no one else here who could see his current appearance, so what was there to worry about?
Looking at the man's cold profile, Ye Chutang tactfully swallowed back all the words.
"I know." She said, lowering her eyes to look at the dart on her left shoulder.
It had only penetrated half an inch at first, but due to the bumpy ride, most of the dart had been sunk in, leaving only the end with a red tassel, which was even more frightening to look at.
She raised her hand and was about to pull out the dart.
However, before their fingertips touched, the man suddenly asked, "Do you want to pull it out yourself?"
Ye Chutang raised his eyes, looking a little surprised: "...what else?"
Didn't he say he would deal with it as soon as possible? Why are you asking so many questions now?
Shen Yanchuan’s brows finally furrowed.
Doesn't she feel pain?
The cave was dark and damp, and it was raining outside. The conditions were extremely simple.
How could she be so abrupt?
Chen Yanchuan knew that Ye Chutang was very different from ordinary women, but only now did he realize that she was not only decisive and resolute towards outsiders, but could also be ruthless to herself.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Ye Chutang thought he was doubting that he could do it, so he explained, "Don't worry, my lord. I have treated similar injuries before. They were more serious than this, but nothing happened in the end."
Chen Yanchuan's eyelashes twitched slightly: "What?"
Ye Chutang pressed the wound and said, "Three years ago, when I took Ah Yan, Ah Feng and Xiao Wu away, I was also shot by two arrows. But those two arrows missed the target and were not in the vital parts. I was afraid of getting into trouble by carrying them with me, so I pulled them out on the spot. After a while, they healed."
Her tone was natural and calm, as if she was saying something very ordinary.
However, between every word and sentence, one can still glimpse the dangers and difficulties that occurred at that time.
Chen Yanchuan felt as if his already heavy chest was being pressed down by something, and as if something was boiling and colliding inside his chest, as if it would break through that invisible barrier at any time and swallow everything.
He looked at Ye Chutang again.
The light was dim at this time, and the girl's fair and soft face was hidden in the shadows, but her eyes were still clear and calm.
If she hadn't said it herself, no one would believe that she had experienced so much.
She was only fourteen at the time.
Shen Yanchuan walked over and squatted in front of Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang was stunned for a moment, then heard him whisper, "Bear with it."
Is he trying to help?
Ye Chutang understood and did not insist, putting down his hand: "Thank you, Prince."
Shen Yanchuan didn't want to hear her thanks.
He held Ye Chutang's shoulder with one hand and grabbed the tail end of the dart with the other.
The bright red blood had dyed her clothes red in large patches. The faint smell of blood mixed with the damp rain air, becoming sticky and enveloping her slowly and irresistibly.
"Did you come to see me today on purpose?" Shen Yanchuan suddenly asked.
Ye Chutang's eyelids twitched slightly: "Hmm?"
The moment she was distracted by surprise, Shen Yanchuan immediately pulled out the dart!
Feeling a sharp tearing pain, Ye Chutang's body trembled and his face instantly became paler.
She endured it without saying a word.
Chen Yanchuan's hand on her shoulder tightened unconsciously, and when he saw her brows furrowed in pain, he loosened his grip slightly.
Ye Chutang shook his head: "...No, I came here today to pray and burn incense for the relocation of my parents and brother's graves and the erection of tombstones."
Shen Yanchuan looked at her and said nothing.
Ye Chutang's pale lips curved up in a weak smile: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the wrong path while walking up the mountain, and happened to run into the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."
Many people went up the mountain in horse-drawn carriages, but Ye Chutang did not.
She started from the foot of the mountain and climbed up along the mountain path, step by step, to show her piety.
As the words fell, the cave fell into silence.
I don’t know whether Shen Yanchuan believed it or not.
But Ye Chutang didn't really care about this. She had more important things to do now.
"Prince, I need to apply medicine." She reminded him gently.
She is a doctor, so it is normal for her to carry things like medicine on her body, which comes in handy at this moment.
Chen Yanchuan looked at her deeply, then raised his hand and tore off a relatively clean cuff of his outer robe and handed it to her.
Ye Chutang took it and thanked him, then Shen Yanchuan got up and left, guarding the entrance of the cave.
Ye Chutang then turned his back and untied his belt.
The blood-stained clothes fell off, revealing the snow-white, round shoulders and the bloody wounds.
Fortunately, no bones were injured. Although the dart was sharp, it was not poisonous, and it was easier to deal with than expected.
Ye Chutang simply wiped the blood next to it and sprinkled light yellow powder on the wound.
Her hands trembled slightly due to the pain, but she remained calm and did everything in an orderly manner.
Due to limited conditions, I can only give it a simple bandage temporarily and deal with it properly when I get back.
The rain was noisy, but Chen Yanchuan could still easily distinguish the subtle sounds coming from behind him from the noisy sound.
There was the rustling of clothing, the sound of medicine bottles being opened, and after a long period of silence, the sound of cloth being torn and entangled.
Chen Yanchuan put his hands behind his back and gradually tightened his grip.
Time seems particularly difficult to bear.
Finally, all the sounds fell silent, and a slight voice from a young girl was heard.
"Prince, I'm fine."
But Shen Yanchuan did not turn around.
Looking at the branches swaying in the rain outside the cave, his eyes were calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
A mountain breeze came with drizzle, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Ye Chutang felt strange: "Prince?"
Chen Yanchuan finally spoke——
"Did you know that someone was lying in ambush here today?"
His voice was calm, without any emotion.
Ye Chutang seemed a little surprised: "Why do you say that, my Lord?"
Shen Yanchuan turned around and looked at her face.
"You even threw yourself off a cliff to save me?"
Ye Chutang's eyebrows twitched.
