The moment the mask is removed.
A handsome and spirited face came into view.
His long eyelashes were tightly closed, his features were sharp and his profile was very strong. Even when he was unconscious, he could not hide his aggressiveness and invasiveness.
Beneath her high, straight nose were thin, tightly pursed lips.
Like his slightly furrowed brows, he exuded an unyielding coldness.
It seemed that even the very bones of his body exuded a sense of alienation and wariness.
As Shen Zhiyi watched, her cheeks suddenly felt hot for some reason.
She looked away.
I gave up the idea of slapping him.
They pulled him up by the arms again and carried him towards the village.
Yun Shen Village is the only village in Fuling Valley.
Surrounded by towering mountains and shrouded in mist, it is isolated from the outside world by only one treacherous path.
Upon reaching the outskirts of the village, one can only hear the mountain wind rustling through one's ears, the crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs, along with the simple laughter of the villagers.
It is like a paradise on earth.
"Dr. Shen! I'm here to help you!"
As soon as Shen Zhiyi arrived at the village entrance, she heard a loud voice.
At first glance, she recognized him as Apan, a hunter from the village.
Apan, dressed in coarse cloth shorts, ran towards her with a burly build, his gaze landing on Duan Xingzhi. "Is this... someone from another village?"
He took the unconscious Duan Xingzhi from her shoulder.
Looking at his handsome face, a hint of barely perceptible tension appeared on his features.
There's also a strange sense of crisis.
"Yes." Shen Zhiyi nodded, wiping away her sweat. "I found it while gathering herbs. It probably fell off the cliff and was washed here by the current."
"Please take him to the pharmacy for me."
"Thank you, Apan."
She wore a serene smile.
Apan blushed, banishing her previous thoughts and focusing only on Shen Zhiyi's smile.
"No, you're welcome..."
He suddenly felt an inexhaustible surge of strength, and he hoisted Duan Xingzhi onto his shoulder and rushed towards the pharmacy.
Shen Zhiyi: ...
She chuckled and shook her head, then silently followed.
When she returned to the pharmacy, Duan Xingzhi had already been settled on the examination bed, with Apan standing to the side.
When he saw Shen Zhiyi come in, he scratched his head.
"Dr. Shen, would you like me to stay and help?"
"No need, thank you." She declined with a cool smile, "I can manage on my own."
"Besides, there are maids too."
Apan sighed dejectedly.
Dr. Shen is still the same; even after all these years, he's still so distant.
She looks gentle and smiling, but always keeps her distance from people.
"Okay, I'll be going now. If you need any help, remember to contact me."
He left, turning back every few steps.
Shen Zhiyi took out an antidote pill, swallowed it with water, and checked her pulse.
She wasn't deeply implicated, and she suppressed the poison immediately. Now, the antidote is having some effect.
It shouldn't be as serious as his.
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the person lying on the couch, took out an antidote pill, and wanted to put it in his mouth, but the man kept his teeth tightly closed and didn't open his lips at all.
Such a large pill definitely wouldn't fit.
She thought for a moment, dissolved the antidote pill in water, and then took a spoon, intending to feed him little by little.
But he still wouldn't drink a drop of water.
Shen Zhiyi frowned, gripped his chin tightly, and tried to pry open a small gap.
Even while unconscious, Duan Xingzhi remained highly vigilant, his muscles tense, resisting any external intrusion.
The medicine dripped down his lips, soaking his clothes.
She pinched his nose and, taking advantage of his difficulty breathing, fed him with a spoon the moment he opened his lips. However, because he closed his lips too quickly, even though his lips opened, his jaw remained tightly closed.
The medicine still wouldn't go down.
She tried several times, but failed each time.
Shen Zhiyi frowned, grasped his wrist, and carefully checked his pulse.
The toxins penetrated deep into the heart and had already spread throughout the lungs and internal organs.
If he doesn't suppress it soon, he might die before she can even finish her research.
A resolute glint flashed in Shen Zhiyi's eyes.
