Cui Xiaoxin's movements were skillful and neat.
Using the pearl hairpin as a needle, after piercing the blister, her other hand used a white handkerchief to quickly wipe off the blood flowing out from the thick blister.
After all the blisters on Li Muyang's feet had been pierced, she wrapped the pearl hairpin with a handkerchief and then took out a small white porcelain bottle from her pocket. She pulled out the stopper and poured out the medicinal powder and evenly sprinkled it on the soles of Li Muyang's feet.
Then she took the Understand Heaven Sword from Li Muyang's hand, cut off two pieces of cloth from her clothes, used the blue cloth as a medical bandage to wrap around Li Muyang's feet and naughtily tied a beautiful bow.
"It's done." Cui Xiaoxin said with a smiling face: "I haven't done this for a long time, I feel a bit rusty. I didn't wrap it well, don't mind. "
"You've done this before?" Li Muyang looked at Cui Xiaoxin with a face full of gratitude. He could see the worry in the girl's eyes and could also see the seriousness with which she bandaged his wounds.
The girl with a beautiful appearance, excellent temperament, excellent studies, and a good family background did not mind that he was dirty, did not hate the strong stench emitted from his feet, used the pearl hairpin in her hair as a needle to puncture his blisters, and used her slender jade hands to carefully bandage his wounds. This really moved Li Muyang.
If possible, he was willing to devote himself to her on the spot — -Of course, Cui Xiaoxin would have some objections.
"I've learned before." Cui Xiaoxin smiled, lowered her head to tidy up the handkerchief and pearl hairpin on her feet and said: "Mother always wants you to learn more things, literature, economics, calligraphy, painting and needlework, including medical bandaging and the treatment of some common diseases — -After learning, I rarely had the opportunity to practice. I didn't expect to use it today. "
Cui Xiaoxin used the handkerchief to wrap the pearl hairpin stained with pus and buried it in the ground, then went to the nearby stream to wash her hands.
When she came back, she used a huge leaf to wrap a bag of water and handed it to Li Muyang, saying, "Drink some water. Your lips are peeling. "
Li Muyang took the water bag and drank all the water in one gulp.
Cui Xiaoxin also used a wet handkerchief to wipe the sweat stains on Li Muyang's face and said: "This will make you feel better — –"
"Xiaoxin — –" Li Muyang's throat rumbled as he constantly swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll do it myself."
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Cui Xiaoxin said coquettishly. After working hard, her cheeks were flushed and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her features were picturesque, and her every move was extremely pleasing to the eye.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Li Muyang giggled. "You're so nice to me, I don't know if it's true or not — – even if it's fake, I'm still very happy."
"Fool. I'm standing in front of you alive, how could it be fake? "The corners of Cui Xiaoxin's mouth curved into a smile as she looked at Li Muyang and said.
"Yes. It's true. "Li Muyang nodded repeatedly. "I'm just worried it's fake — –"
Cui Xiaoxin looked up and down at Li Muyang's body and asked: "Are there any other injuries on your body?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
Li Muyang glanced at his crotch and said: "I'm too embarrassed to say — – I'll bandage it myself."
Cui Xiaoxin also noticed where Li Muyang's eyes were fixated on, her face flushed red, even her neck turned red as she said in a low voice: "Rogue."
"— –" Li Muyang thought to himself: how is this a rogue? I didn't even ask you to help me treat this area.
Li Muyang put on his shoes, looked for Cui Xiaoxin to borrow the small white medicine bottle, and then went into the dense forest to treat it.
When he came out, he wanted to return the small medicine bottle to Cui Xiaoxin. Cui Xiaoxin did not take it and said: "You can take it."
The blisters on his feet were punctured, it was much more comfortable to walk.
Li Muyang then used the Understand Heaven Sword to carve out two wooden sticks. He and Cui Xiaoxin each held one stick as they climbed to the top of the mountain.
When a man and a woman work together, walking is not tiring.
His previously heavy legs became relaxed, not only was he able to walk quickly, he could also turn around from time to time to take care of Cui Xiaoxin who was following closely behind.
Most of the time, the two of them were immersed in their journey, occasionally exchanging a few words. There was a long-lost tacit understanding between them, as if they could understand each other's thoughts.
Even when they were not talking, just looking into each other's eyes was enough to fill one's heart and lungs with joy.
"Ah — –" Cui Xiaoxin suddenly cried out in alarm.
Li Muyang hurriedly turned around and saw Cui Xiaoxin kneeling on the ground.
Li Muyang ran over to Cui Xiaoxin and anxiously asked: "Xiaoxin, what's wrong?"
"Foot. I twisted my foot. "Cui Xiaoxin's brows knitted together, her little face turning pale because of the pain.
"Let me see." Li Muyang said. He reached out to take off Cui Xiaoxin's boots.
"Don't." Cui Xiaoxin reached out to stop him. She's a girl, how could she let a boy take off her shoes?
"Let me see." Li Muyang insisted. From the painful expression on Cui Xiaoxin's face, he knew that she was seriously injured, he must examine her before he could be at ease.
Cui Xiaoxin nibbled her thin lips, hesitated for a moment and then finally let go.
Li Muyang took off Cui Xiaoxin's boots and also pulled off her socks. Cui Xiaoxin's bare, white and tender feet appeared in front of Li Muyang's eyes.
Li Muyang did not have the time to admire this beautiful foot, but instead stared at the red and swollen area of her foot, reached out and gently touched it.
"Ouch — –" Cui Xiaoxin softly cried out: "Pain. It hurts. "
"You hurt your ankle." Li Muyang's brows knitted together. "I'll help you rub it — – do you have any medicine on you?"
"No." Cui Xiaoxin shook her head.
Li Muyang scanned the surroundings, then ran into the woods and pulled out a fiery red dog bone grass. He rubbed the dog bone grass into a red paste with his palm and then smeared it on the swollen area of Cui Xiaoxin's foot with Xiaoxin.
"It's cold." Cui Xiaoxin's hand shrank back, trying to avoid it.
"Dog bone grass has the effect of removing blood stasis and reducing inflammation. Its body is of the fire attribute, but its juice is ice-cold. It can help you soothe your meridians, strengthen your muscles and bones, and has a miraculous effect on sprained joints."
"Why did you use dog bone grass to treat my bones?" Cui Xiaoxin said coquettishly.
"— —" Li Muyang was silent. He did not know how to answer this question.
"So you also know medicine?" Cui Xiaoxin looked into Li Muyang's eyes and said.
"A long illness makes a good doctor, I was often sick when I was a child, so I read a lot of medical books — –" Li Muyang explained while he put on Cui Xiaoxin's socks and helped her put on her shoes. "Your joints are injured, you won't be able to walk for a while — –"
"You go first." Cui Xiaoxin said. "My foot won't be healed for a while, the registration date cannot be delayed."
"That won't do." Li Muyang said firmly: "If you want to go then we'll go together, if you don't want to go then we'll stay together. How can I leave you here alone? "
"But — –"
"No buts." Li Muyang helped Cui Xiaoxin up, then squatted in front of Cui Xiaoxin, leaned his back and said: "I'll carry you."
"Li Muyang — –"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have woken up from that muddle-headed state. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten first place in the kingdom's exams. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to appear here — – "Li Muyang said with a smile. "Come on, I'll carry you."
Cui Xiaoxin's eyes lit up, gently leaned over and wrapped her arms around Li Muyang's neck.
Li Muyang exerted a little strength and lifted Cui Xiaoxin onto his back.
Climbing a mountain was already difficult, but after carrying a person on his back, it was hundreds of times more difficult. Every step was as heavy as a thousand catties, after a few steps he was drenched in sweat.
However, Li Muyang did not show any signs of disgust.
This was his responsibility and also something he was willing to do.
"Li Muyang." Cui Xiaoxin leaned on Li Muyang's shoulder, her breath was like orchids when she spoke, her sweet breath sounded in Li Muyang's ears, making Li Muyang feel a burst of intoxication.
This was a scene that only appeared in his dreams, he did not expect that today his wish would come true.
"Huh?" Li Muyang answered softly. He felt like his heart was about to melt.
"Your clothes are soaked in sweat."
"Yes." Li Muyang said.
"Put me down. I'll rest for a while, wait until my feet are better then I'll walk. "
"No."
"Then stop, let's sit down and rest for a while."
Li Muyang thought for a moment and said: "I'm afraid your injury won't be healed for a while, even if you apply a layer of dog bone grass juice, it will take at least a week for you to walk. Resting all the time is not a solution, if we climb to the top of the mountain it will take at least ten days — -When I have the strength I'll carry you, when I don't have the strength I'll put you down and we'll rest together. If I'm by your side, I can take care of you. "
"But in that case, you'll have to wait for half a month before you can climb to the top of the mountain, and this is if everything goes smoothly." Cui Xiaoxin said with a worried face: "What if I miss the reporting date?"
"It doesn't matter." Li Muyang said with a smile: "Although the school wrote the reporting date, they did not specify when we must climb up the mountain. We'll walk slowly and then report to the school together — -It can't be that because we're late, Starry Sky Academy won't accept us, right? How could there be such a reason? "
"But — -"
"Xiaoxin, don't say but." Li Muyang said in a righteous tone: "Not to mention just carrying you up the mountain, even if I have to carry you through water and tread on fire, I won't hesitate — -"
As soon as the voice faded, there was a rumbling noise in Li Muyang's ears.
Li Muyang tilted his head to listen, then said: "Thunder?"
"No — -" Cui Xiaoxin said in a trembling voice.
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the front, where a monstrous wave was surging towards the foot of the mountain.
The flood filled the sky, sweeping over.
