Chapter 20: The Essence: Sewing the Wound

When Lu Xin and the others had no way to retreat, the man in black seemed to have seen through that Lu Xin didn't know martial arts at all. Just now, he never dared to rashly make a move with Lu Xin, because he was worried that Lu Xin might be a martial artist or a subordinate of Prince Rui. Now it seems that Prince Rui must have died at his hands today.

Seeing that she was forced into such a situation, Lu Xin might as well fight hard. She slashed at the man in black with her sword, and the man in black struck her away with only three or two blows, and pointed his sword at her. Xuanyuan Rui behind him was also shocked, this stupid woman was really dead, he tried hard to support his body, and the pain of the wound made him more sober.

Just when the man in black was about to stab Lu Xin, suddenly, Lu Xin felt that someone was pulling her behind, and then she fell into Xuanyuan Rui's arms, and as soon as he hugged her, she jumped off the cliff, she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she didn't feel anything.

I don't know how long it took for Lu Xin to wake up slowly. She felt pain all over her body just by moving slightly. The mind suddenly cleared up a lot. She remembered the scene when she jumped off the cliff with him, she hurriedly stood up, and sure enough, she saw the man in white lying not far away, and she didn't know if he was dead or alive.

Lu Xin endured the pain on her body, walked over slowly, and saw blood stains on his clothes, she reached out to probe his snort and found that he was still breathing, but he was just unconscious. She shook his shoulder, and saw that he didn't respond, and she didn't have the strength to move him at this time, so let him lie like this. Compared to his injuries, Lu Xin felt that the injuries on her body were not worth mentioning at all, and she began to help him clean his wounds. As far as the current conditions are concerned, she can only do her best to obey the fate of heaven.

She unbuttoned his coat and saw a long, deep, shocking wound, and a strong smell of blood made Lu Xin frown.

Lu Xin thought that this person didn't know how much blood he shed? I don't know if she can be saved, but after all, she can't see death without saving her if she is not dead, not to mention that in this deep mountain range, only he can walk out side by side with her.

Fortunately, her baggage also fell off, and there were some clothes and supplies prepared inside. She tore a large chunk off the hem of her skirt and saw a water source not far away. She walked over and drank a few sips of water by herself, then washed the cloth, and then slowly cleaned Xuanyuanrui's wounds.

She gently wiped the blood around the wound and thought, such a long and deep wound must have hurt to death, if it was deeper, maybe the heart could see it, I really don't know what to do?

When she had cleaned the wound, she plucked some herbs nearby, washed them and smashed them with a stone. Then she applied the herbs to his wounds, and when she was done, she was relieved to attend to her own affairs.

Not long after the herbs were applied, Xuanyuan Rui was woken up by a piercing pain. He opened his eyelids weakly and saw that the woman who had jumped off the cliff with him was busy with this, and did not notice his awakening.

He tugged at his dry throat and tried his best to make a sound, finally attracting Lu Xin's attention. Lu Xin saw that he could wake up, and there was indescribable joy in his heart. Like a nurse reassuring a patient, she said, "Don't move, don't move, just got the medicine." Seeing that he didn't reply, she asked again, "How do you feel?"

Xuanyuan Rui finally held back one word: "water". Lu Xin regarded him as a god, and immediately responded, so he went to the stream to fetch water. She cleaned a large leaf, walked cautiously, leaned down and fed him little by little. But I didn't want to choke him. He coughed twice, the wound ropen and bleeding out. Lu Xin was so frightened that she was in a hurry again, and she was sweating.

He endured the pain, Lu Xin saw it in his eyes, and felt the same in his heart, even if it was a small animal injured, she would be heartbroken, let alone a big living person.

After drinking the water, Xuanyuan Rui's mouth and tongue were finally not so dry. When Lu Xin came back with water again, he saw Xuanyuan Rui hand out a silver needle and said to Lu Xin: "You first stitch up my wound and then apply medicine, otherwise, the wound will crack open and not heal."

Lu Xin nodded with an "um", then looked up at him in surprise and said, "Huh?"

Lu Xin knew that she was a little out of shape, so she asked seriously: "Do you really want to sew?" But....... "I thought it would hurt. Unexpectedly, he interrupted.

Xuanyuan Rui said decisively: "No, but, you just have to do it."

Lu Xin stretched out her hand to take the silver needle and looked at it, and said embarrassedly: "There is no thread."

Xuanyuan replied without thinking, "With hair." Then he closed his eyes and ignored Lu Xin.

Lu Xin clumsily pulled out her long hair and threaded the needle. But when she faced the wound on Xuanyuan Rui's chest, she couldn't do anything about it. The wound looked serious enough, but he asked her to put a few more stitches on it, which felt like she was torturing a prisoner.

Xuanyuan Rui waited for a long time and didn't see Lu Xin take the needle, he opened his eyes to see her staring at his chest hesitantly. He thought, "Why can't this woman tell what is prioritized?"

I saw Lu Xin swallowing her saliva, as if she didn't dare to kill her. If she waits like this, it will be dark, and she won't be able to do it.

Xuanyuan Rui comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt, try it!"

After Xuanyuan Rui finished saying this, he saw that Lu Xin seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and stabbed the first needle into his skin. Regulus knew he had to endure it, or she would flinch even more.

Lu Xin didn't know that when Xuanyuan Rui stabbed Lu Xin for the third time, his clenched fist made a joint sound, but he still didn't say a word. His and her foreheads were all beads of sweat the size of beans, and Lu Xin had worked hard to do it, and she was trying hard to do better to alleviate his pain, even if it was a little bit.

Xuanyuan Rui looked at her, and saw how unbearable her expression was. She frowned, biting her lower lip hard, the beads of sweat on her face slid down her neck, you can imagine how much she struggled inside, as if her pain was no less than her own.

Xuanyuan Rui looked at Lu Xin very attentively and seriously sewed up his wounds. He just looked at her, her face was covered with bruises and scrapes on her forehead, and he knew she would have a lot of wounds on her body as well. He saw that a large piece of her skirt had been torn, and there was a piece of fabric like her skirt next to it, which she should have torn off to scrub her wounds.

He saw her good, and from the first time he saw her, he admired her courage and boldness. He thought: She has the temperament connotation of everyone's ladies, but she doesn't have the weakness and squeamishness of everyone's ladies. She was brave, and he couldn't help but praise her from the bottom of his heart. He didn't understand why, he knew that he was the daughter of his enemy, even if she saved him on the cliff, including still saving him, but it couldn't change that she was the daughter of the enemy.

He was thinking nonsense, but when he raised his head, he saw that Lu Xin's eyes were already full of tears, she was crying? Is she hurting herself? For a moment, an indescribable feeling came over him, as if he had forgotten something he should not forget, and no one had ever felt so sorry for him in more than twenty years since his mother's death, not even his aunt, whom he considered best and dearest to him.

Although Lu Xin had tried very hard to hold back her tears, the tears just flowed out of her eyes without fighting. She still stitches and threads, each stitch like a piercing of her own heart. She wished that time would pass quickly, but it was so long. However, no matter how long it is, it will always pass, and when it was finally time for the last stitches, she ran away desperately.

Lu Xin didn't want him to see her tears, and she didn't want him to see the weakness in her heart in such a bad situation. After all, he is now seriously injured, and the chances of whether the two of them can survive can only be supported by her. She wants to give him confidence that she can overcome all odds. She cried heartily by the stream, whether it was for what happened to her in her previous life or what happened to her in this life, and after crying the weak tears in her body, the rest was strong.

Xuanyuan Rui listened to the cry not far away, he couldn't go over to comfort, and he also understood that no amount of comfort could not restore the fact that he had been hurt. He believed that she would be strong and unyielding. Since she chose to bear it alone, he could only pretend not to know.
