Taking advantage of someone's misfortune
When Bai Miaoke opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside. She wanted to raise her hand to block the glaring light, but the pain in her arm made her wake up instantly.
I found myself somehow getting ashore and lying on the grass... on Lu Yu.
Bai Miaoke was startled and suddenly remembered what happened last night.
After finally escaping last night, she and Lu Yu supported each other and swam a long way. Then she gradually became exhausted and had no memory of what happened afterwards.
She thought of the wound on Lu Yu's chest and tilted her head to look. She was resting her head on his left shoulder and the wound was on the right side.
Bai Miaoke endured the pain and propped herself up, sitting on the grass and looking at Lu Yu's pale face that seemed to have no blood in it. She was shocked, thinking, he couldn't be dead!
She wanted to raise her hand to check her breathing, but found that her fingers were trembling. She didn't know whether it was because of the tearing of the wound or because of panic.
Fortunately, she felt the faint breathing of the person lying on the ground.
Bai Miaoke let out a long sigh: Fortunately, fortunately, the person is still alive, just unconscious.
She checked the inch-long wound on Lu Yu's chest, and mixed emotions surged in her heart, but she had no time to think about it.
His wound was too deep and needed to be bandaged as soon as possible, but she looked at her clothes that were soaked in blood and blurred by lake water, and she couldn't find a piece of clean cloth to bandage him.
So her eyes turned to Lu Yu again.
His inner clothes must be clean, and I just wanted to bandage him, so it shouldn't be considered as taking advantage of his misfortune.
Bai Miaoke convinced herself without much hesitation and reached for the man's belt.
Deliberately avoiding the wound, he unbuttoned his indigo blue outer shirt unskillfully, revealing the half-dry moon-white inner garment.
The finest brocade lay softly on the man's body. Some places were still wet, and the wet fabric revealed the skin underneath.
Bai Miaoke looked at her unscrupulously, from the two pink breasts to the well-defined and firm waist and abdomen, and then to the two slender and tight legs...
Well, he must not die!
Bai Miaoke helped the man to lean against a tree, unbuttoned his upper body clothes to expose the wound on his chest, tore a piece of cloth from his underwear, scooped up river water to rinse the wound, and then carefully bandaged it.
After struggling for so long, the man still didn't wake up. Bai Miaoke stared at his pale face, thinking that she still needed to find some medicine.
She treated her own wounds, looked around but didn't find any danger or usable medicinal herbs, so she returned to Lu Yu and sat down.
Avoiding his wound, she leaned against the man's side and closed her eyes tiredly. She was really tired and in pain, and the wounds of all sizes that she had not taken care of yesterday were hurting.
When she woke up again, she was awakened by the deliberately suppressed sound of conversation.
She squinted her eyes sharply and saw three people talking a few steps away.
The tallest man in the middle wearing indigo clothes was none other than Lu Yu. He had his back to her at the moment, so he didn't notice that Bai Miaoke had woken up.
Looking at the two people beside him, Bai Miaoke tried hard for a long time before she recognized that these two people were the girl named A Ling and her senior brother whom she met on the boat.
When Bai Miaoke was concentrating on listening to what they were saying, the senior brother noticed that she had woken up and looked straight at her with a pair of charming fox eyes.
I have to admit that this senior brother is also very good-looking. He is completely opposite to Lu Yu's bright and handsome appearance. His whole body exudes an evil charm that can captivate people's souls.
The two men looked at each other, and the man smiled brightly. Lu Yu, who was talking to him, seemed to sense something and turned to look over here.
"You're awake." Lu Yu's tone was full of surprise, and he walked towards Bai Miaoke without hesitation.
Walking closer, Lu Yu naturally reached out and helped Bai Miaoke up. At this time, the other two also came over.
"Nice to meet you again. It seems that the young lady and I have a good relationship." Zhu Yu greeted Bai Miaoke with a smile.
"Why are you two here too?" Bai Miaoke pretended not to notice that Lu Yu's face had turned gloomy because of this man's words, and turned to ask A Ling, who seemed more reliable.
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, still wearing a white dress that was otherworldly, began to explain: "My senior brother and I also met the thieves on the boat. We had no choice but to jump into the lake and happened to come here."
Bai Miaoke looked at Lu Yu in confusion. How could they be thieves? And they were probably brought to this unknown place by the current. How come these two people were here too? Was it really such a coincidence?
Lu Yu also had doubts in his heart, but he was wondering how Bai Miaoke knew these two people, and what was going on with this man. What he said about them being destined to be together was really too fake.
But now is obviously not the time to worry about this. The strange appearance of these two people can be taken advantage of.
Bai Miaoke obviously thought so too.
She put on a skilled hesitant expression and said, "It was fate. The scene last night was truly horrifying. My husband and I had never seen such a situation before. We were powerless and were injured by those villains. Fortunately, we survived."
After saying this, he pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.
Lu Yu's mouth twitched at her exaggerated and superb acting skills, and his gloomy expression eased a lot when she took the initiative to mention the word "husband".
Before the senior brother and sister could reply, Bai Miaoke continued, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am the daughter of the Yue family, a salt merchant in Beijing, and this is my husband. The two of us were going to my grandparents' home in Jiangnan, but we didn't expect to encounter something like this. Meeting is fate, what are your names?"
This was half true and half false, in order to test the identities of the two people.
"We are traveling doctors all over the world. You can just call me Zhuyu. This is my junior sister, her name is A Ling." Zhuyu said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhuyu, Miss A Ling, my husband was injured by those villains last night and his injuries are very serious. I wonder if you can treat him? I will reward you handsomely after we get out of this predicament." Bai Miaoke spoke sincerely.
Hearing this, Lu Yu glanced at Bai Miaoke, her eyes tender and deep, and the wounds on her body seemed to have healed a little because of her words.
"As a doctor, it is our responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded. You don't have to be polite, young lady." Zhu Yu responded politely.
"My wife is also injured, please take care of her." Lu Yu spoke before Bai Miaoke, and he emphasized the word "wife" with extra emphasis, as if to remind Doctor Zhu Yu, who kept calling her "girl", to recognize that Bai Miaoke was his wife.
Zhu Yu seemed not to have heard anything. He took out a folding fan from somewhere, walked straight past Lu Yu and came to Bai Miaoke, reaching out to help her.
He asked with concern, "Where are you hurt, girl? I have some trauma medicine that can come in handy."
Before Bai Miaoke could respond, Lu Yu stepped forward and lifted up her arm, not even frowning when the wound on her chest was pulled.
"Thank you, brother. Let's find a safe place first." Lu Yu said coldly.
He knew that these two doctors of unknown origin were still useful at this time and could not be offended, but this ignorant man really made him angry.
Bai Miaoke patted the back of his hand soothingly, and the few of them walked in the direction away from the shore to explore.
Lu Yu insisted on supporting her, but both of them were injured. After walking for a cup of tea, Bai Miaoke saw cold sweat on Lu Yu's forehead.
Helplessly sighing in her heart, she whispered in his ear, "If you die of exhaustion here, all these injuries I have suffered will be in vain."
Lu Yu chuckled when he heard this, his chest vibrated, and blood oozed from the wound again.
Ah Ling and Zhu Yu were two steps behind. Ah Ling saw that Lu Yu's back was soaked with blood and asked Zhu Yu in a low voice: "Brother, isn't this your cousin? Don't you need to take care of him?"
Zhu Yu just smiled without saying anything, still walking behind with his hands behind his back.
Fortunately, after walking for another cup of tea, they found a cave.
Bai Miaoke's eyes lit up as she helped Lu Yu into the cave. Due to excessive blood loss, he was almost unconscious, but a pair of large hands with distinct finger bones were still holding Bai Miaoke's hands tightly.
She tried to pry it open twice but failed, so she simply sat down next to him. Without caring about anything else, she directly asked Zhu Yu and the others to help him stop the bleeding.
"I can take care of this minor injury." A Ling took the initiative.
"Thank you very much, Miss Aling." Bai Miaoke smiled at the little girl.
A Ling looked at the two people holding hands with a speechless look. Bai Miaoke scratched her head embarrassedly and untied Lu Yu's belt awkwardly.
The blood-soaked silk cloth was exposed. It was the roughly bandaged cloth Bai Miaoke had used earlier. It was now stuck to his flesh and blood. She carefully pulled it twice, and blood gushed out at every movement.
Bai Miaoke saw that Lu Yu had a frown on his face and a pale face while he was unconscious, and she didn't know what to do.
Ah Ling said at the right time: "Let me do it."
Bai Miaoke nodded and asked nervously, "He lost so much blood, will he be okay?"
She had seen far more serious injuries and bleeding than this when she had killed people before. She was well aware of the tenacity of life, but she still felt that the blood was a little glaring and it hurt her heart a little.
"I will stop his bleeding as soon as possible. He won't die." A Ling replied in a calm tone.
After saying that, he pressed a point on Lu Yu's wrist. Bai Miaoke then noticed that his five fingers, which were tightly gripping her, loosened and she quickly pulled her hand away.
Sitting aside, she watched Ah Ling take out a set of silver needles from somewhere and pierce the acupuncture points on Lu Yu's neck and chest. The bleeding from the wounds slowed down a lot. Then she tore off the clothes that were stuck to the flesh and blood, leaving some blurred flesh and blood aside.
Bai Miaoke felt pain for the unconscious person, and saw A Ling took out a delicate knife without changing his expression. He skillfully and decisively cut the red and swollen area on the wound. The blood that had just stopped flowing out again, which made Bai Miaoke's eyelids jump.
A Ling's expression remained calm. He picked up a needle and sealed the wound tightly.
Then he sprinkled some medicine powder around the wound and re-bandaged it.
After everything was done, A Ling reminded: "Don't do strenuous activities, don't let the wound get wet, and you can remove the stitches after a month."
After saying that, he wanted to take a look at Bai Miaoke's wound.
It was the first time that Bai Miaoke had seen this method of suturing a wound. When she heard that the wound had to be pulled out, she didn't know whether Lu Yu, who was in a coma, felt any pain or not. However, she was already sweating coldly at this moment, and suddenly felt that the pain of the wound might be bearable...
