Chapter 63 He should know who he's holding, right?
"I know, I will help you."
Yun Si felt a sharp pain in her heart and pressed her hand against his shoulder.
Using the dim light filtering through the cave walls, I could see the wound on his back.
There was a deep, bone-revealing knife wound that cut from the shoulder blade to the side of the waist, with an eerie bluish-black edge.
Clearly, he was injured by a poisoned weapon.
This was clearly an attempt to kill him.
It's unimaginable how dangerous and thrilling that assassination attempt must have been.
The sweet fragrance of peach blossom miasma mixed with the stench of blood permeated the small space, becoming increasingly intense.
Yun Si dared not delay. She bit open the porcelain bottle stopper, forced the fever-reducing pills into his mouth, and then poured out the antidote powder, carefully sprinkling it on the wound on his back.
The moment the powder touched his flesh, Qin Ye let out a muffled roar of pain, arching his body and nearly knocking Yun Si to the ground.
"Bear with it! Qin Ye, look at me!"
Yun Si raised her hands and cupped his face, forcing him to look at her: "Look at me, who am I? I'm Yun Si..."
Qin Ye's pupils contracted sharply, as if trying to pierce through the fog before him.
In those crimson eyes, the violence gradually faded, and a vague sense of familiarity emerged.
He stared at Yun Si's face for a long time, his Adam's apple bobbing, and suddenly called out in a low, hoarse voice, "Yun Si?"
The two words were so light they seemed like an illusion, yet they instantly brought tears to Yun Si's eyes.
But he seemed not to believe it, shaking his head in a self-deprecating manner.
"How could it be you? I must be hallucinating again."
He actually thought it was a hallucination?!
Yun Si brought her lips to his again, letting him truly feel that this was not an illusion.
Qin Ye was startled.
The next moment, he grabbed her without a second thought and kissed her back fiercely.
Whether it's a hallucination or not, as long as it's Yun Si, kiss her first.
She wondered if Qin Ye's kiss was too fierce, because she felt as if all the air in her lungs had been sucked out.
My mind gradually became muddled, and then, finally, I couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
As the antidote took effect and Qin Ye regained consciousness, he also fainted due to excessive blood loss and the forceful kiss.
It is likely that there has never been a case of two people falling into a coma because of kissing.
That's outrageous.
Fortunately, this place is secluded enough, and there are no poisonous insects, snakes, ants, or wild animals.
Otherwise, if she and Qin Ye were to die here unconscious, they would truly die with regrets.
The cave was deathly silent.
Only the steady, faint breathing of the two people gradually became clearer in the quiet cave.
The damp rock walls insulate against the wind and rain, and also temporarily keep potential dangers at bay.
This small space became their only refuge while they were unconscious.
After an unknown amount of time, the first rays of dawn struggled to penetrate the cracks in the rocks, casting dappled light on the ground.
Yun Si's consciousness was like a stone sinking to the bottom of the water, struggling to rise little by little.
My head is throbbing, and my throat is so dry it feels like it's on fire.
She frowned subconsciously, and her lips suddenly touched something cool and moist.
Yun Si opened her eyes with difficulty, and in her blurry vision, she saw the small figure of Maple Leaf.
It was holding a leaf with curled edges in its sharp beak, with a few drops of water in the center, and carefully bringing it to her mouth.
"Maple leaves..."
Yun Si's voice was terribly hoarse, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.
In such dire circumstances, this tiny creature gave her hope more than once.
She tilted her head slightly, letting the water droplets on the leaves slide into her throat; the coolness instantly relieved her burning thirst.
The strength seemed to slowly return to my body along with those few drops of water.
She propped herself up and sat up, immediately looking at Qin Ye beside her.
Qin Ye was still unconscious, his brows were tightly furrowed, his lips were pale, but his face was flushed with an abnormal flush.
Even while unconscious, his body was still trembling slightly.
Yun Si reached out and touched his forehead; the burning heat made her heart tighten.
The poison in his body has indeed been neutralized; although his pulse is still weak, it has become much more stable.
However, the high fever caused by the wound infection was very serious.
Burning your brain like that could easily damage it.
"Qin Ye."
She called out softly, but there was no response.
We can't stay here any longer.
The cave is too damp, which is not conducive to wound healing and will only aggravate infection.
She needs to find a dry and safe place to facilitate his recovery.
Yun Si gritted her teeth, dissolved the remaining fever-reducing pills in water, and pried open Qin Ye's mouth to feed him the pills little by little.
Then he took out some medicine, carefully cleaned the inflamed wound on his back, applied the medicine powder again, and bandaged it up.
After doing all this, she took out the precious Tian Shan snow lotus, tore off a small piece of the most essential part, crushed it, mixed it with water, and fed it to him.
The snow lotus melts in your mouth, and a refreshing medicinal power slowly spreads out.
Qin Ye's trembling body seemed to calm down, and his breathing became deeper.
Yun Si breathed a sigh of relief and broke off a small piece of snow lotus and put it in her mouth.
The sweet taste spread across the tip of the tongue, and the tired body seemed to be injected with a bit of vitality.
Next comes the most difficult step.
Get Qin Ye out of here.
Yun Si went around behind Qin Ye, squatted down, and laboriously put his arm on her shoulder before standing up with all her might.
Qin Ye is tall and looks very thin, but he actually has a strong, muscular build.
For Yun Si, that weight was unbearable.
She didn't know where her confidence and courage came from. She tried several times, her steps faltering as she walked, just like yesterday's maple leaves, staggering from side to side.
"Hang in there, Yun Si, you can do it."
She encouraged herself, gritted her teeth, and half-carried, half-dragged Qin Ye, slowly and laboriously making her way out of the cave.
Her thin shoulders had to bear the weight of her body, and every step she took seemed to exhaust all her strength.
Sweat quickly soaked her clothes and slid down her cheeks.
Her legs were already sore and weak, and she was only holding on by sheer willpower.
Maple leaves fluttered around her, occasionally brushing against her cheeks as if cheering her on.
I don't know how long I walked, but the path under my feet changed from slippery rocks to soft mud.
Yun Si's vision began to darken, and her steps became increasingly unsteady. Several times she almost fell down with Qin Ye.
"Almost there... just hang in there a little longer..."
She was panting heavily, her eyes searching around.
Finally, in a relatively open clearing in the woods, she saw a clear stream with a clean, flat meadow beside it.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, casting a warm and bright glow.
This place is nice.
Yun Si's eyes lit up as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. With her last bit of strength, she carried Qin Ye to the grass, and then collapsed beside him, panting heavily.
worn out.
I've never been this tired in my life... or even my two lives.
She turned her head to look at Qin Ye's still-sleeping face, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and revealed a weak but reassuring smile.
There's water and sunshine here, and it's warm during the day.
After resting for a while and recovering, she struggled to get up and adjusted Qin Ye's body so that he could lie down more comfortably.
After doing all this, she leaned against Qin Ye and closed her eyes wearily.
The sunlight fell on the two of them, warm and comforting.
Yun Si could clearly hear Qin Ye's breathing, which was still somewhat weak, but much more steady than before.
She reached out and gently grasped his fingers, which were gradually returning to normal temperature, feeling his vitality growing stronger little by little.
"Qin Ye, you need to wake up soon..."
She murmured to herself, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability that was barely perceptible.
Yun Si closed her eyes, but she didn't dare to really fall asleep. She just lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and rested with her eyes closed.
It must be said that we are very fortunate to have the Tian Shan snow lotus.
Otherwise, she would never have been able to carry Qin Ye out of the cave, even if it meant her death.
Listening to the babbling water, with Qin Ye right beside her, this was the most reassuring moment she had felt in the past few days.
Overwhelmed by sleepiness, she mumbled, "Maple Leaf, our safety is in your hands now..."
Then, without a care in the world, she fell asleep.
The maple leaf fluttered its wings and finally landed on a large rock above the two of them, its small, black bean-like eyes watching its surroundings with extreme vigilance.
When Yun Si was asleep, her body felt warm, but when she woke up, it felt cool.
Compared to the cave, the outside temperature was more than ten degrees colder at night.
Yun Si felt cold and instinctively moved closer to a warm spot.
An arm suddenly wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her into its embrace, and she was immediately enveloped in a warm embrace.
Yun Si was overjoyed, thinking that Qin Ye had woken up. In the dim moonlight, she reached out and touched Qin Ye's forehead.
It felt slightly cool to the touch; the high fever had subsided.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to call him when she saw Qin Ye with his eyes closed, breathing steadily and slowly, clearly still fast asleep.
It turns out that the arm that wrapped around her waist and the action of pulling her into his arms were just his subconscious instinctive reactions.
He should know who he's holding, right?
A sense of comfort flashed through Yun Si's mind, but it was quickly pulled back by reality.
It's really cold here at night, much colder than inside the cave.
If you continue sleeping, you will definitely catch a cold.
Qin Ye's body had just recovered, and he was afraid he would suffer again.
Yun Si carefully wriggled out of Qin Ye's warm embrace.
A cool breeze swept over her, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Yun Si planned to go nearby to find some firewood to start a fire and keep warm.
As soon as I straightened up, before I could even stand up straight, I caught a glimpse of two bright green lights flickering in the darkness not far away.
And it's approaching this direction at an extremely fast speed.
"Wolf?"
Yun Si's heart jumped into her throat. She hurriedly held her breath and reached out to grab something nearby that she could use for self-defense.
In this desolate wilderness, it's perfectly normal for wild animals to appear at night.
Before she could make a move, the thing had already rushed up to her.
With a muffled thud, it sounded like something heavy had been thrown to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a small figure crashed straight into her arms.
