Shen Bijun had never heard anyone say such rude words to her before. Although she was very gentle, she had never listened to anyone's orders before.
If it was anyone else, she might have immediately jumped down, but this was Song Qingshu. She hesitated, but in the end, she didn't disobey him.
Song Qingshu continued to say, "If you must move, you should first look at your leg. No matter how beautiful a person is, they won't look good without a leg."
Shen Bijun looked down in confusion and found that her right leg was swollen. It was very swollen, and she immediately fell down.
Any woman who saw their leg swollen to the size of hers would be scared out of their wits.
Seeing her reaction, Song Qingshu seemed to laugh. Shen Bijun was a bit embarrassed. After she calmed down, she asked, "How … how did I get here?"
Song Qingshu replied, "I forced the poison out of your leg and then you fainted. We were a bit far from the city, so I found this temple and brought you here."
"What's wrong with my leg?" Shen Bijun couldn't help but ask the question she cared about the most.
"It should be the residual effects of the snake venom," Song Qingshu explained.
"Residual effects?" Shen Bijun jumped in fright. She sounded like she was about to cry. "In the future, my leg … will it be like this?" Although she usually said that she would rather not have this beauty, how could a girl not care about her appearance? If her leg became like this, she would rather die.
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Don't worry, it shouldn't be like this. I'll find some herbs and apply them on your leg a few times. It should be able to reduce the swelling." As he spoke, he stood up. "You were unconscious earlier, so I didn't feel at ease leaving you here alone. Now that you're awake, I'll go find some herbs. Wait here for me."
"Ai ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" Shen Bijun originally wanted to make him stay, but when she thought about how her legs would be like this for the rest of her life without the herbs, she hesitated. By the time she hesitated, he had already disappeared from the temple.
The wind was still howling outside. Apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other sound. It was as if she was the only person left in the world. She had already felt lonely and helpless. Now, she felt like a speck of dust that had been forgotten by others.
She had never missed a man so much. Back then, she was waiting for him to pick her up in the palace. Now, she hoped that he would come back quickly. Only by staying by his side would she feel safe.
"Have I fallen in love with him?" As soon as this thought appeared, Shen Bijun jumped in fright. In truth, it wasn't that she felt that there was anything wrong with Song Qingshu. In fact, he was more outstanding than any man she had ever met. Most importantly, he already had a wife. Although Shen Bijun was in dire straits, she was still proud. She would never be a concubine for a man, even if that man was the best man in the world.
"When a person suffers misfortune or is in pain, their heart will become especially weak. They will need the sympathy and comfort of others, and they will not be able to endure loneliness." She tried to explain for herself, but she wasn't very satisfied with this explanation. Her heart was in a mess and she didn't know what to do.
She sank into deep thought like this. Time passed, and footsteps came from the door. She saw Song Qingshu walk in with a bucket of water in his left hand and a large bundle of unknown herbs in his right.
"Big brother Song," Shen Bijun sweetly called out. With him by her side, she felt a strange sense of security.
After finding the herbs he wanted, Song Qingshu was in a good mood and couldn't help but joke, "No … No. Big brother Song, you were the only one to come in."
Shen Bijun had just finished speaking when she suddenly felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but smile. "I didn't think that I would end up in such a situation."
Song Qingshu was also startled. He smiled and said, "I didn't think that I would end up in such a situation."
As he spoke, he set up a shelf over the fire. Then, he took out a broken clay pot that he had found from who knew where and poured half of the water inside. Then, he poured most of the herbs he had found into it.
"What kind of herbs are these?" Shen Bijun asked curiously.
Song Qingshu shook his head. "I don't know either."
Shen Bijun was speechless. She was about to praise him, but she immediately swallowed it back down. She almost choked.
While the medicine was being brewed, Song Qingshu walked over with the rest of the herbs. "Although I don't know their names, I know that they have a miraculous effect on snake venom and can cure the injury on your leg."
When he arrived in front of her, he couldn't help but frown. "Yi, why are you wearing shoes and socks again? Hurry up and take them off. Show me your leg."
Shen Bijun bit her lips and said, "You … can you take a walk outside?" She had asked him to force out the poison earlier because the situation was too tense. But now, she had let her imagination run wild. She suddenly didn't have the courage she had before.
Song Qingshu bluntly said, "I can't."
Shen Bijun's ears turned red. She stood there in a daze, wishing that she could just die.
Song Qingshu sighed. "The people of Jianghu don't care about trifles. What time is it now? Bijun, why do you have to worry about those red tape from before? Don't think that I want to see your feet. There's nothing to look at right now. I just want to see if the poison has returned."
Shen Bijun muttered, "I know big brother Song doesn't mean that, but I …" In this day and age, asking a virtuous lady to take off her shoes and socks was as difficult as asking her to take off her clothes.
Seeing her squirm, Song Qingshu felt a headache coming on. He deliberately said to scare her, "If the poison returns and suddenly spreads, you might even have to show other people your body."
These words were more effective than anything else. Shen Bijun slowly took off her shoes and socks. When she first took them off, her entire body was trembling, but now her heart had gradually calmed down. She felt that everything wasn't as bad as she had imagined.
Song QingShu held her foot in his hand and carefully examined it for a while. He inwardly nodded his head. The situation that he was worried about did not happen. Only then did he pick out a few kinds of herbs and pick the most tender ones. He slowly chewed them in his mouth as if he was tasting their flavor.
After a while, he spat out the herbs he was chewing and applied them to the other person's wounds.
Shen Bijun didn't know if she was angry, embarrassed, or grateful. She only felt that the medicine was cool and comfortable. Although she didn't understand medicine, she knew that it should be the right thing to do.
The man tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and bandaged her wounds. Feeling his gentleness, Shen Bijun's heart became even more confused. In order to dissolve the awkwardness in her heart, she took the initiative to find a topic of conversation. "Big brother Song, why are your medical skills so high?"
