The shadows of the trees sway, the sun shines brightly in the sky——
“Ahem…”
“Cough cough cough…”
While walking carefully through the forest, I suddenly heard a familiar coughing sound coming from not far away.
Her heart, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly relaxed...
"Xie Mingchi?!"
Hua Shi shouted anxiously and trotted towards the big rock not far in front of him that blocked his view.
"A-Ashi...?"
Before she ran over, she heard Xie Mingchi's hesitant voice coming from behind the stone.
As Hua Shi walked around, he saw Xie Mingchi slumped on the ground, his back against a rock, covered in blood. The words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly shuddered: "It's me, you, what's wrong with you? Why are you covered in blood!"
Her words broke in shock.
Xie Mingchi raised his head with difficulty and looked towards her. He looked weak and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while..."
His blood-stained face showed a hint of doubt, as if he had not expected Hua Shi to find him so quickly. There was a hint of comfort under his dark eyes.
Hua Shi squatted down, his hands trembling, and did not dare to help him.
He was truly covered in blood… His thin coat had been soaked through and turned red, his arms were bloody, his calves, which were covered in blood, were also stained red, and his face was also bloody…
As I got closer, the strong smell of blood hit my nose.
After Hua Shi saw it clearly, she was so shocked that she could hardly speak. The blood and flesh were too blurred, and she couldn't see the wounds on his body, how many there were, and why he was bleeding so much...
"What's wrong with you?" Hua Shi's eyes felt a little sore, and his mind was messed up by the blood-red color in front of him, and he couldn't remember anything.
She originally thought that the black wolf had just lured him away and tied him up with some tricks, and that nothing serious would happen, so she followed the black wolf for so long.
She also thought that Xie Mingchi had been hunting in the mountains for so many years and was very familiar with the terrain, so there would be no surprises...
Xie Mingchi looked at her anxious expression and reached out to touch her, but when he saw the blood on his hands, he stopped abruptly.
He whispered in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine. It just looks scary. I'll be fine soon. Have you forgotten who I am?"
Although he was weak, he still finished his long sentence without pausing.
Hua Shi reached out and gently grasped his warm big hand, and the sticky blood immediately stained her skin.
After leaning against the stone for a while, most of the blood on his body began to dry up. Now, looking over, he looked like he had fallen into a pool of blood, like a bloody man...
"I'm a mountain guard. I have a special physique, so I won't die that easily. I just lost a little blood, and the wound will heal soon. If you don't believe me, look, it's already starting to heal..."
As Xie Mingchi spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at a wound on his calf. The wound was stained with blood and looked very horrifying.
Hua Shi didn't see the wound he suffered at the beginning, so naturally he didn't know that this wound was the most serious and deepest. Now it has healed from the bone to the skin and flesh. It is estimated that in a while, only a small wound will remain.
Xie Mingchi was very familiar with the process of wound healing, and he also knew that he had a special physique. As long as he was not dead, even if his bones were broken, his tendons were injured, and his skin and flesh were torn, he could heal quickly.
But... she didn't expect Hua Shi to come so soon. If he had been a little later, the injuries on his hands and feet might have healed. She would have worried for nothing...
Hua Shi's eyes had turned red at some point, and she couldn't bear to look at the bloody wound any longer. "What happened? Didn't you go chasing someone? How did you get hurt like this?"
Xie Mingchi tensed his body, staring at her red eyes without blinking, and became visibly at a loss.
"I...I..." He blinked, regaining his composure. He hesitated for a long moment before continuing, "The wolf demon tricked me and led me to a snake cave. I slipped and fell in, and started fighting with a few snakes. These are all snake bites, but they're nothing serious. I've rested for a while. The wounds will heal if I wait a little longer. Don't be afraid."
At the end of his words, his tone shrank slightly and he unconsciously softened it a little.
Hua Shi raised the back of his hand, wiped his eyes, and when he looked at the wounds again, he could indeed see signs of healing. They were even healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was quite amazing.
Just like... the injured Xiao Hei, after drinking the water from the spring, his wounds healed quickly, at this speed...
As the mountain guardian, Xie Mingchi's special physique seems to be somewhat similar to the effect of spring water.
Hua Shi lowered her head and carefully observed the wound on his arm without saying a word.
Xie Mingchi took a deep breath, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he didn't dare to breathe either.
The air was silent, Xie Mingchi's heart was tense, and his mind was wandering...
Is Shi angry? Or is he scared? …? I should have found a more secluded place earlier… Eh? No, he shouldn't have responded when Shi called him just now…
Uh…? …? If he didn't respond, would Shi be unable to find him and get lost in the mountains…
Xie Mingchi was thinking in a mess.
Just now, there was a piercing pain, but now because of all the wandering thoughts, I can no longer feel the pain. Instead, I am worried... that Hua Shi will be angry because of this.
Hua Shi had no idea of his messy little thoughts. She held one of his hands, lifted it slightly, stared at the wound a little lower on his arm, and blinked.
