Chapter 14 Curse
The witch doctor didn't have many patients today, so he was drying herbs in the yard, and his apprentice was sitting beside him pounding the medicine.
The hurried footsteps of the two people caught the witch doctor's attention.
He didn't stop his hands, but his eyes looked towards the two of them.
"What happened?" asked the witch doctor.
"He's injured!" Wen Li said quickly.
The witch doctor looked surprised.
The witch doctor naturally knew the origins of Wen Li's beastly husbands. They were all very strong and rarely got injured.
Even if they are injured, they have extraordinary physiques and will heal quickly, so they basically will not come to the witch doctor.
It seems that this injury is not ordinary.
The witch doctor quickly put down the herbs in his hand and walked over quickly. "Where are you hurt?"
Xin Yuan extended his injured arm.
When the witch doctor saw the black and swollen wound, his face suddenly changed.
His expression made them both feel uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Wen Li asked nervously.
The witch doctor picked up Xin Yuan's arm, examined it from head to toe, and finally came to a conclusion -
"Did you encounter any stray animals?"
Xin Yuan nodded.
Wen Li didn't expect that the witch doctor could even see this.
Then the witch doctor said solemnly, "This is cursed."
Xin Yuan asked puzzledly: "Curse?"
"You guys sit here for a while, I'll get you some medicine, drink it as soon as possible."
After the witch doctor finished speaking, he waved to his apprentice and gave him some instructions.
The apprentice nodded and walked quickly into the kitchen.
After a while, a scent of medicine came from inside.
"I have asked Arnold to boil the medicine. Stretch out your arm so I can take a look." The witch doctor said to Xin Yuan.
Xin Yuan held out his hand, and the witch doctor asked again, "Where did you encounter the stray beast?"
"Nearby, towards the back mountain." Xin Yuan replied.
The witch doctor's expression changed slightly, then he thought of something and relaxed a lot.
"You killed him," said the witch doctor.
Xin Yuan said frankly: "Yes."
"No wonder," the witch doctor said, "This curse is only triggered by dying stray beasts."
Wen Li didn't understand and could only listen in silence.
"I understand." Xin Yuan said, "Are there any consequences?"
The witch doctor's eyes fell on Xin Yuan's face. Seeing that he had no other unnecessary expression, he said seriously:
"Don't underestimate the curse of the stray beast. If you can't break it, your body will begin to fester from the wound, and you will die within seven days."
"Death!?" Wen Li exclaimed.
Although she was not very familiar with Xin Yuan, she did not want to see him die from the curse in seven days.
Wen Li quickly asked, "Is there any way to lift the curse?"
Just as the witch doctor was about to speak, Arnold came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of dark medicine.
"Okay." Arnold said.
The medicine juice was still steaming, and the witch doctor urged Xin Yuan to drink it quickly, "Drink it quickly, it can help to alleviate the curse a little."
Upon hearing this, Xin Yuan picked up the wooden bowl and drank the medicine without blinking.
After the witch doctor saw him finish drinking, he continued, "There are ways to lift the curse."
"How do we do that?"
The witch doctor's eyes fell on Wen Li, "That depends on your wife."
Wen Li blinked, "Me? What do you need me to do?"
The witch doctor cleared his throat and said, "I need your blood."
"For these seven days, you need to take Wen Li's blood regularly every day. After seven days, the curse will automatically be lifted."
The witch doctor spoke every word very clearly.
Wen Li and Xin Yuan both had complicated expressions.
Seven days, blood.
Wen Li quickly accepted this matter.
Okay, Xin Yuan is her savior after all.
Just think of it as donating blood.
"How much blood is needed each time?" Wen Li asked proactively.
When Xin Yuan heard Wen Li ask this, he looked at her in surprise.
He didn't expect Wen Li to agree so readily, and he felt a little grateful.
The witch doctor said, "Not much, just half a bowl."
Wen Li almost vomited blood.
Half a bowl a day? ?
You have to bleed for seven consecutive days!
Isn’t that a lot? She already thinks it’s a lot!
"That's about it."
The witch doctor waved to Arnold again and whispered for a while. Arnold walked quickly towards the cave.
"I've asked Arnold to get some medicine for the wound. After applying it, you can go back."
Soon, Arnold brought a small wooden bowl with a leaf covering the top.
The witch doctor took it and opened it, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.
"Stretch out your arms." The witch doctor said to Xin Yuan again.
Xin Yuan stretched out his arm, and the witch doctor dug out the ointment while reminding him:
"You'll feel a burning sensation in the wound after applying the ointment. This is normal. Just bear with it."
The witch doctor applied the ointment on Xin Yuan's arm.
Xin Yuan's originally relaxed brows furrowed again, with the same fiery feeling.
Just as the witch doctor was about to continue, a panicked voice came from not far away:
"Witch doctor! Help! Help!"
When the witch doctor saw the person coming, he felt a headache, but he couldn't ignore the other person.
He threw the ointment into Wen Li's hand and said, "Wen Li, come and help him."
Wen Li is now Xin Yuan's beastly wife, so it is reasonable for her to do this.
"……good."
Wen Li caught the ointment thrown by the witch doctor and looked at Xin Yuan, "Then I'll apply it to you."
Xin Yuan: "Okay."
Although Wen Li slowed down her movements, Xin Yuan still gasped in pain.
He pursed his lips and looked very ugly.
Even though Xin Yuan didn't say anything, or even cry out in pain, Wen Li didn't dare to continue.
"Are you okay?" Wen Li asked.
Xin Yuan: "Okay, continue."
Wen Li continued to apply the medicine carefully, and this time her movements were still very gentle.
However, under the influence of the curse, the medicine had no effect on Xin Yuan and Shang Xing.
As Wen Li applied the ointment on his wound, Xin Yuan's eyelashes would tremble suddenly, looking extremely pitiful.
The soft brown hair on his forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and the sweat beads ran down his cheeks, across his high nose bridge, and fell to the ground.
Wen Li couldn't bear to watch.
The handsome man's frowning and painful look was heartbreaking just by looking at it.
Wen Li felt that she was not applying medicine now, but more like "torturing" Xin Yuan.
"System, can I use my newly acquired 'healing ability' now?" Wen Li asked the system.
I don’t know if this ability can help Xin Yuan.
Even if it can't be completely cured, it can help him temporarily relieve the pain.
[You can use it. Look at the wound and use your mental power.]
The system not only answered Wen Li's question, but also provided instructions for use.
The term "using mental power" is too abstract for Wen Li.
However, she still followed the system's instructions and stared at Xin Yuan's wound.
Wen Li tried her best to concentrate.
Seeing that she hadn't taken the next step, Xin Yuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wen Li didn't move, staring at Xin Yuan's wound.
"I'm busy with you."
Help him?
A hint of confusion flashed in Xin Yuan's amber eyes.
Wen Li did not continue to explain to Xin Yuan, and tried to stay focused.
Soon, Wen Li discovered that there was a black ball of light next to Xin Yuan's wound.
The ball of light kept floating and swaying back and forth beside Xin Yuan's wound.
Wen Li tried to reach out and touch it!
