Chapter 338: Curing the Injuries
In the room, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, dressed simply but cleanly, with two long pigtails. She had a delicate face, especially her big eyes, which were glistening and very clear.
The girl used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off the face of the unconscious boy lying on the bed. She muttered softly under her breath.
“You must persevere. Looking at you, it’s clear how brave you are.”
The girl continued to murmur to herself as she carefully wiped away the bloodstains from the face of the young man who had fainted.
“It’s pretty nice.”
When his clear face became fully visible, the girl couldn’t help but take an extra look, slightly surprised.
Although his face looked pale and grayish at the moment, it wasn’t fair-skinned. However, his features were highly three-dimensional. Though his eyes were closed under long, slender eyebrows, there was a special temperament in his appearance.
“It’s your luck to meet Elder Su. Even though others say he’s sharp-tongued and mean, I know he has a kind heart.”
The girl was like a chatterbox, muttering to herself as she wiped the blood off the boy’s body.
Su Yi had fainted and fallen into a deep sleep, unaware of how long he had been unconscious. Gradually, he regained some consciousness, but his entire body ached, and he couldn’t move, not even able to lift his eyelids.
“Have I died? It seems I haven’t…”
Su Yi felt dizzy in his head and sharp pain throughout his body. He sensed he wasn’t dead yet. Then, a voice came from nearby.
“So much blood has been shed; it’s really pitiful. I don’t even know where Elder Su brought you back from.”
The girl whispered to herself, and her handkerchief quickly became soaked in blood. She dipped it into a basin of water beside her, rinsed it, and continued wiping.
Time after time, basins of clear water became tainted with blood.
“The injury is so severe, but you’re still alive. You’re really lucky.”
The girl murmured, looking at the boy on the bed, whose chest and back were covered in deep, visible wounds that appeared as if they could pierce the bone. Her heart pounded with fear.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then wiped the boy’s upper body clean.
However, his lower half was still covered in fresh blood. The girl glanced toward the door, gritted her teeth in secret, and hesitated for a moment. As if committing a crime, she reached for the door and closed it.
“Men and women shouldn’t be too intimate, but that’s not right for you. I have to clean you up thoroughly and apply medicine, or else the wound might get worse. If that happens, you’re likely to die.”
The young girl looked at the boy on the bed, her words seemingly directed at herself. Then, as if mustering her courage, she removed the tattered, bloodstained trousers from the boy, leaving his whole body completely exposed.
“Woman? What are you doing with my pants…?”
In Su Yi’s consciousness, he was amazed at the moment. He could feel himself stripped bare, and apparently, by a little girl. His nakedness was now exposed in front of her.
Right now, Su Yi felt helpless, but he couldn’t move. His consciousness was still awake.
“Ah…”
With a soft cry, the girl suddenly realized something and stopped in her tracks, her face flushing red. She covered her eyes with her hand and shut them tightly.
But soon, the girl’s fingers quivered slightly, and she quietly opened one eye. Her black pupils shifted, glinting through her fingers, as she quietly gazed at the bed.
The young girl slowly looked toward the area below the young man’s dantian. Her face turned even redder. She blinked her eyes and mumbled softly, “So, this is a man?”
The girl took a deep breath, stepped forward, wrung out her handkerchief, and began wiping the blood from the boy’s body once more.
Su Yi could sense the girl wiping the bloodstains gently, as if she were afraid of hurting his wounds. But who was this girl…?
Su Yi felt helpless. He wanted to stop her, but he couldn’t do anything.
Finally, the girl finished wiping him off and looked at the terrible scars on his body.
The girl took out a bottle of ointment and began to apply it to Su Yi’s wounds. She murmured to herself, “This is the ointment the Elder gave me. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”
The ointment was so spicy that when the girl applied it to his wounds, Su Yi felt as though countless ants were biting him, but he couldn’t scream.
However, it was clear the ointment was effective. Su Yi could feel the medicinal power entering his body, repairing his injuries.
“No, don’t put medicine there…”
Soon, Su Yi was on the verge of tears, the intense pain from the ointment almost unbearable. The burning sensation was so sharp that it would remain in his memory forever.
“Wow, it really works!”
The girl was very happy when she saw Su Yi’s reaction after applying the ointment.
Finally, the girl covered Su Yi with a gauze cloth, explaining that it wouldn’t be suitable for him to wear clothes in the next few days. She would have to help him apply the ointment every day.
“Elder Su.”
The girl turned around suddenly and was startled to see a small figure standing behind her. She hadn’t noticed his presence until now.
His figure was small, but there was an inexplicable aura that made people shudder.
The girl immediately recognized him and bowed in respect, her gaze full of reverence.
“How is he doing? Is he still alive?”
The small old man spoke, but his figure remained still, not even taking a step. He was already by the bed, gently lifting the gauze from Su Yi’s body. He revealed a look of slight surprise.
When the old, short man lifted the gauze, the girl’s cheeks flushed again. She didn’t dare to raise her head and spoke in a low voice.
“Elder, he still has a pulse, but the injury is too severe. If he were an ordinary person, I’m afraid he would have already died.”
“Go on. Oh, I’m going out for a few days again. The Conference of Thirty-Six Peaks will be held in two days. I’ve decided to let you represent the 36th Peak and take part in it,” the small old man said calmly.
