The woman's face was pale, her eyes were closed, her eyebrows were furrowed, her breathing was rapid, and she was obviously experiencing great pain.
His eyes wandered back and forth on the woman's exquisite curves, but Xue Pingxi did not find any wounds or blood stains.
"Girl, how are you?"
He himself was still on the run and had no intention of meddling in other people's business. However, the moment he saw the woman, he couldn't move his feet for some reason and involuntarily expressed concern, "Does it matter?"
The woman was still in a coma and did not react at all to his words.
"Hey, hey, wake up, girl!" Xue Pingxi gently patted the woman's cheek, "Wake up quickly!"
The woman in black frowned, her lips moved slightly, and then she stopped responding.
What am I doing?
The war in Xiqi is critical, why am I still here worrying about an unrelated person?
Xue Pingxi, Xue Pingxi, you have to cheer up and go back to the imperial capital to bring in reinforcements!
He kept warning himself, persuading himself to leave this woman behind and hit the road quickly, but his feet felt like they were welded to the ground and he couldn't move them no matter what.
That’s all!
If she were abandoned here, how could a weak woman survive in the freezing cold?
How is this any different from killing someone?
Xue Pingxi struggled fiercely in his heart, but in the end he still couldn't bear to leave this poor woman behind.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his body, and leaned over to lift the woman in black on his shoulders.
The woman's body was very light and soft, but to the seriously injured Xue Pingxi, it was as heavy as a ton of weight, causing him to stagger and almost fall.
"Cough, cough!"
Perhaps because he moved too much, the woman on his shoulder suddenly coughed twice and slowly opened her eyes, as if she was about to wake up from a coma.
Xue Pingxi was shocked, and his whole body was stiff, not daring to move at all.
After a while, but no movement was seen, he finally slowly turned his head and glanced over his shoulder, only to see that the woman's beautiful eyes were closed tightly again, her face was slightly redder than before, but there was no sign of waking up. .
He breathed a sigh of relief, kept his upper body still, poured spiritual power into his feet, and tiptoed towards the distance, trying his best not to disturb the woman on his shoulders, and regardless of how much burden this would cause on his already seriously injured self. .
It was already two hours later when I saw the town where there were traces of people. I carried the man all the way. The wounds on his body were implicated and torn apart more than once. The clothes on his chest and back were already stained with blood. It was a deep red, and there were beads of sweat dripping down from his forehead. He looked miserable and terrifying, very horrifying.
The town is located in a remote area, but the population is not sparse. Just on the outskirts, Xue Pingxi met at least a dozen waves of passers-by.
However, the blood stains on his body, the long knife in his hand, and the woman on his shoulder made him look like a mountain king who raped a girl.
Therefore, the first reaction of most people when they saw him was to scream and run away without giving him any chance to defend himself.
I can't blame them.
Xue Pingxi lowered his head and looked at himself, then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Feeling that the last bit of physical strength was fading away, and getting help through normal channels had become a luxury, he hesitated for a moment, then a determined light suddenly shot out from his eyes, and no longer ignored the eyes of everyone around him, he simply carried the woman and went straight to a drug store.
, kicked open the front door with a bang, and barged in boldly.
In the astonished eyes of the shopkeeper, he plunged the long knife into the counter with a "swish" and shouted: "Hand over all the healing elixirs!"
Facts have proven that sometimes fists are more direct and effective than words.
Shocked by his ferocious and domineering appearance, the shopkeeper was terrified. He really gave him whatever he asked for, and even took on the task of making medicinal soup for him very diligently, without daring to utter the word "no" in his mouth.
In such a small place, there are naturally no alchemists. When ordinary people are sick and injured, they can only find a doctor to write a prescription and entrust a drug store to boil the elixir into a medicinal soup and drink it directly. The effect of the medicinal materials is often inconsistent, and recovery is difficult.
Very slowly.
It would be great if brother Zhong Wen was here.
Why do I want to drink this garbage!
After taking a bowl of medicinal soup, Xue Pingxi could barely notice any improvement in his physical condition. He couldn't help but miss his friend Zhong Wen, who was known as the "Miracle Doctor and Demon Chef".
I have suffered so much for a stranger, I really don’t know what I think.
He held a wooden bowl filled with medicinal soup and gently pushed open a room in the backyard of the medicine shop.
Unexpectedly, the woman in black, who had been unconscious from beginning to end, was staring at her direction with widened eyes.
"Are you awake?" Xue Pingxi was delighted.
"Who are you?" The woman in black used her arms hard, as if trying to move her delicate body, but failed, and asked weakly, "Where is this place?"
Her voice was pleasant, but cold and unfriendly.
"My surname is Xue and my double name is Pingxi." Xue Pingxi's words have never been so polite as at this moment, "Young lady passed out alone in the woods. I was worried that you would be injured by a wild beast, so I took it upon myself to take you to the town.
coming."
"Is it?"
The woman in black looked down at her still intact clothes, then looked up at him for a long time, her eyes finally softened a little, "Thank you."
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. At this time, Xue Pingxi had already bandaged the wound and asked the medicine shop owner for a set of clean clothes. He no longer looked like the fierce mountain king. At first glance, he looked like a man.
He can barely be considered a first-class talent.
"It's just a little effort." Xue Pingxi grinned, walked to the bedside in a few steps, and handed over the wooden bowl in his hand, "Girl, this is a medicinal soup for replenishing qi. Drink it while it's hot. It may be good for your injuries.
It’s helpful.”
"Medicine soup?" The woman looked confused, as if she had never heard of these two words.
"Yes, this is made by adding several elixirs and water." Xue Pingxi explained, "Have you never drank it before?"
"Nonsense, the elixir can only exert its true effect if it is sealed in an elixir furnace and refined using special techniques." The woman in black frowned and looked at her like a country bumpkin. He said, "Such a crude treatment method has already lost seven to eight percent of its efficacy. What effect can it have?"
"The girl is right."
Xue Pingxi glanced at her in surprise, obviously not expecting the other party to have such knowledge, and then said with a wry smile, "However, the elixir on Xue's body has been exhausted. There is no alchemist in this remote town, so I have to feel aggrieved." You'll just have to make do with it."
"I have it on me." The woman in black suddenly said, "I can't move now. Please help me take it out. It's in the inner pocket of my coat."
"This, this is not good, is it?" Xue Pingxi was surprised.
"I don't care if things are urgent, I don't care. What do you, a grown man, do?" The woman in black looks delicate and beautiful, but her speaking style is unexpectedly tough, "Besides, I'm not naked inside."
"Then, then I will be offended."
Xue Pingxi was a bloody man, so he could not bear the words "mother-in-law and mother-in-law". When he was aroused by the woman, he immediately stopped hesitating and strode to her side, extending his right hand.
Just as he was about to touch the woman's chest and skirt, his palms began to tremble inexplicably. The distance of just a few inches seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
"thump!"
After taking out the elixir and feeding it to her to swallow, Xue Pingxi was already short of breath, exhausted, and suddenly fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
"You, just take one too."
As if she could see that he was also seriously injured, the woman in black hesitated for a moment, and finally opened her lips lightly and spoke slowly.
"Isn't this... good?" Xue Pingxi looked hesitant.
"How can a grown man be so stubborn?" The woman in black once again showed contempt on her face, "It's just a pill, it doesn't matter, just take it if you are told!"
What a bad-tempered girl!
Xue Pingxi didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant. He really couldn't laugh or cry. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "In that case, let me borrow the girl's elixir for use first, and I will return it later."
The healing elixir that the woman in black carried with her was extremely effective. After taking one pill, he felt a strong medicinal power traveling between the meridians and quickly spreading throughout the body, whether it was internal injuries to the organs or internal organs. The injuries on the body surface were all reduced a lot.
What kind of elixir is this?
His heart was shaken, and he suddenly realized that the identity of the woman in black was by no means simple.
Just when Xue Pingxi was startled, the woman in black, who had been unable to move, slowly sat up.
"Girl, are you okay?" Xue Pingxi showed a hint of joy on his face.
"How can it be so easy?" The woman in black rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "My heart was injured. If I want to recover, it will take at least two months. This 'Returning Yang Pill' only
It just restores strength and relieves pain."
"Returning Yang Pill?"
Xue Pingxi had never heard of this kind of elixir, and the image of the woman in black suddenly became more mysterious.
"Can you help me out and take a look?"
The woman in black didn't pay attention to his emotional changes and just mind her own business.
"good."
Xue Pingxi knew that if he hesitated again, he would be ridiculed again, so he simply stopped hesitating and stepped forward to lift up the delicate body of the woman in black and slowly walked out of the house.
"A remote town can be so lively?"
The woman in black was greatly surprised by the bustling crowd outside the door and the jubilant scene of lights and colorful decorations.
"Girl, have you forgotten that today is the Chinese New Year." Seeing the surprised expression on her face, Xue Pingxi felt inexplicably happy and said with a smile, "This is the most lively day of the year."
"New Year..." The woman in black repeated these two words softly, with a hint of complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes.
"By the way, I haven't asked the girl for her name yet." Xue Pingxi suddenly slapped his head.
The woman in black stared into his eyes quietly. She was silent for a long time before slowly uttering two words:
"Xuan Ming."
