Chapter 9: The Glow

The body seems to float in the clouds, up and down, sometimes squeezed by the seemingly ethereal clouds, and sometimes it seems to be immersed in a cool and refreshing pool. Xiao Lei didn't have time to experience it carefully, and the severe labor pain made his body tremble.

After Shi Manman brought Xiao Lei back to the enchantment, he noticed that in addition to the fatal wound on Xiao Lei's chest, his hands, feet, and head were covered with large and small wounds. In particular, the left arm has been swollen to the point that the green tendons have erupted, and the original skin color is not recognizable under the entire black and blue cover. And there is a shallow scar on his hand, which has turned out pus and blood.

Shi Manman pinched Xiao Lei's left arm and felt more than one bone bulge. Shi Manman sighed, Xiao Lei's forearm bone was broken and the ligaments and nerves were severed. If the initial treatment is timely, it may only take a few months to recover. But he got another cut on his arm, and the wound became infected.

If it is in the human world, Xiao Lei's hand will definitely not be able to be saved. Shi Manman stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Xiao Lei's broken bone. I saw Xiao Lei's body tremble, frowning in pain, and his face turned white.

In the severe pain, Xiao Lei woke up in a daze. When you open your eyes, you will be greeted by a blue sky surrounded by lush branches. The tender grass blown by the breeze danced against Xiao Lei's exposed skin, and the coolness was mixed with a slight itch.

Am I dead? Is this the afterlife? Why so familiar. Xiao Lei didn't move, staring blankly at the sky.

At the moment when Xiao Lei blocked the attack for Shi Man, Xiao Lei knew that his life was at rest. It turned out that when he was about to die, it was not as painful as he imagined. My mind is like going back in time. Before I had time to sigh with regret, I fell into darkness in front of my eyes.

"You're awake." Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Lei was shocked and turned his head to look. I saw Shi Manman squatting beside him, holding the transparent plant he saw next to Zhu Yu in his hand, but the half-opened and half-closed flower was now fully blooming. The flowers reflect the glazed halo in the sunlight, and the face against the stone vines is like a beautiful painting.

Shi Manman saw that Xiao Lei looked at him without saying a word, touched his cheek with the hand that didn't take the flower, and looked at the palm of his hand.

"Ah...... Well. Xiao Lei immediately noticed his abruptness, and embarrassedly shifted his gaze and agreed.

"The injury on your left hand is a bit severe, and I don't know if this herb has any effect." Shi Manman said and crushed the flower in his hand, along with the leaves, in his hand. Drops of pale blue liquid flowed out, sliding down the palm of the stone vine and flowing into the wound on Xiao Lei's left arm.

"It may hurt a little, but bear with it." Before the words fell, a biting coldness quickly spread on Xiao Lei's arm, and then it turned into an itch like the bite of ten thousand ants, and then the arm exuded a scorching heat from the inside, as if it was roasted by scarlet charcoal, and almost evaporated blood. A moment of pain was intertwined, and the torture was nothing more than that.

Xiao Lei endured the pain and curled up, trying to make himself look less embarrassed.

In fact, the pain passed in a moment, but Xiao Lei, who suffered the pain, felt that his life was like a year.

"You do it." Shi Manman had been staring seriously at Xiao Lei's left arm, and didn't see Xiao Lei's distorted face. Seeing that the scars on Xiao Lei's hands were gradually fading, it should be that herb that played a role, so he urged Xiao Lei to do it.

The tortured pain in his left arm had passed, and Xiao Lei was relieved, and he had never felt that everything was so comfortable as usual. He moved his fingers slightly, then shook his palm and raised his hand. After seeing that his left arm was good, he found that he had been lying on the ground all along, and sat up awkwardly and thanked Shi Manman.

"I think the worst injury was probably in the chest." Xiao Lei muttered and looked down, the clothes on his chest were torn into a big hole, and the muscle lines in his chest were faintly visible. Xiao Lei hurriedly curled up his feet to cover the "spring" on his chest.

"Can you help me mend my clothes......" Xiao Lei's cheeks were so red that he could almost drip water, although the "Orion" pretended to be shirtless, which was also Xiao Lei's biggest bottom line. Now in front of a woman, even her chest is looked at. Even if the other party didn't show any of the shyness that a woman should have, how could a secular human being who grew up under the education of etiquette and righteousness not care.

"Oh." Although Shi Manman didn't understand what Xiao Lei's "little daughter" behavior was, he still agreed to mend it for Xiao Lei.

"You take it off." Shi Manman stretched out his hand and said to Xiao Lei.

"Huh? Still going to take it off? Can it be a new one? Xiao Lei heard that he had to take off his clothes and hug his knees more tightly, and close his chest tightly.

"It's a nuisance." Shi Manman waved his hand casually, and a set of short shirts and pants appeared in front of Xiao Lei, put down his clothes, Shi Manman got up and walked to the side without looking back. She still remembered Xiao Lei's strange habit of not liking to change clothes in front of people.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Lei walked in the direction where Shi Manman left. From a distance, I saw Shi Manman sitting quietly on the big rock by the stream, taking off his shoes and socks, his feet fluctuating with the stream, his eyebrows were like autumn water, and his jade skin was accompanied by a breeze.

Looking at it this way, the cold temperament of the stone vines and the beautiful scenery almost merge into a beautiful fairy picture. This is despite the fact that the woman in the picture is a real goblin.

Xiao Lei stood quietly in the distance and admired the beautiful scenery in front of him, for fear of making a trace of movement, which would startle the beauty and ruin the artistic conception. But there are always some accidents, such as the Ben Bird, who was anxiously waiting for a night, came out of nowhere at the moment, and ran to Xiao Lei.

Shi Manman was interrupted by the movement behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that his head, shoulders, and arms were full of birds. Xiao Lei watched at a loss as the birds drowned themselves, when did these timid birds become so affectionate to him.

Ben Bird's enthusiasm for himself made Xiao Lei's heart surge a warm current, but before the warm current surged all over his body, the group of Ben Birds grabbed the six-legged and pulled Xiao Lei's collar vigorously and led him to the stream.

At first, he was only attracted by the silhouette of the stone vines, but he did not see the almost mountain of fish not far from her. The bird dragged him to the fishpile, immediately jumped off him, raised his little head and called at the fishpile twice, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Lei's long song.

Xiao Lei realized that those birds were not excited to see that they were safe and sound, but greedy.

Shi Manman walked to Xiao Lei's side barefoot, waved away the noisy bird, and said to Xiao Lei: "You don't have to worry about them." We just have enough to eat. Xiao Lei thought that yesterday's experience could make Shi Manman's relationship with him go further, but he didn't expect to still be her "husband".

"Thank you." Xiao Lei solemnly thanked Shi Manman.

Shi Manman shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything, it was the stone that saved you." As he spoke, he pointed to Xiao Lei's chest. Xiao Lei was stunned, after Shi Manman gave Xiao Lei this pendant, Xiao Lei wanted to find time to return this necklace to Shi Manman, but he forgot again and again in his busyness.

I was afraid that I would lose it when I put it on my body, so I hung it around my neck. It's just that I didn't expect to save my life by mistake. Thinking that this stone pendant must be very valuable, Xiao Lei took off the stone and returned it to the stone vine. Shi Manman shook his head again and said, "You can take it, this stone is of no use to me." Kunlun is too dangerous for you, it can save you once and maybe a second time. I just want to eat the food you make on time every day. ”

Xiao Lei saw that Shi Manman had abandoned such a treasure, but Xiao Lei couldn't resist her, so he could only withdraw it in his arms. "Wait." Shi Manman suddenly thought of something, reached out and took the stone pendant in Xiao Lei's hand, and slowly injected a trace of spiritual power.

The stone pendant in Shi Manman's hand gradually emitted a ghostly light, and if you looked closely, there were two wisps of red light like silk intertwined.

As soon as the spiritual power of the stone vine was withdrawn, the ghost light in the stone pendant immediately dimmed, and it changed back to a crystal clear appearance. "There should have been three red rays of light in this stone. I don't know why it disappears after saving you, maybe it will only save your life two more times. Shi Manman said to Xiao Lei.

Xiao smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy to die, as long as you are not as reckless as last time." Shi Manman was noncommittal.
