Chapter 15: The Long Night

Someone took advantage of his absence to sneak into this room?

Not only that, but the other party also witnessed the whole process of him sneaking into the Luo family's residence. In an instant, a huge word "danger" appeared in Xia Fan's heart.

But soon, he realized that the voice seemed familiar.

After a short stalemate, Xia Fan tried to take out the fire fold and stretched it out to the candlestick on the table.

And the other side did not stop it.

The candle was lit, the flickering flame dispelled the darkness, and he saw the appearance of the comer.

It was the fox demon who had visited the window of his room two days before.

This time, instead of looking down from above, she was leaning against the wall, her tail coiled up and looking much smaller.

It's a lot closer, too.

Suddenly, Xia Fan's hanging heart fell from the sky back to the ground.

"What the hell, don't suddenly talk behind your back, okay?

"It turns out that you will be scared too. She grinned, as if sarcastically.

"Nonsense, I'm not a surname, of course I'm afraid. Xia Fan didn't have a good temperament, but she felt a little strange in her heart - compared to the previous ridicule, her current words seemed to be less yin and yang.

Wait, is this swollen by himself, is it possible that the other party is not sarcastic and he is not used to it?

"Why isn't the surname machine afraid?"

"Because the programmer didn't write. ”

"Procedure...... What is a member?"

"That's ...... No, forget about it. Xia Fan found that he had no talent for telling cold jokes, and at the same time noticed that the other party's face was obviously a little pale, and even the tone of his voice was a little weaker - this is also the reason why he didn't immediately notice that the person who came was her in the first place. "What's the matter, you're sick?"

Then he smelled a faint smell of blood.

"It would be nice if it was just sick...... the fox demon smiled reluctantly, and was about to stand up against the wall, when suddenly his face changedβ€”he saw Xia Fan striding to her side, leaning down, and enveloping her like a shadow.

In an instant, the idea of fighting to the death had jumped into my mind, and along with the guilt and apology for "Master".

However, Xia Fan pressed his hand against the wall behind her.

"It's ...... Blood. ”

He looked at the little scarlet on his fingertips and frowned, "You're hurt." ”

"I-"

As soon as she spoke, Xia Fan interrupted her, "Let me see." Then he couldn't help but pull away the hand she held on her chest.

She resisted, but her strength was insignificant.

Seeing the red and black in his chest and abdomen, Xia Fan couldn't help but gasp.

Although the wound was not visible, the amount of bleeding was significantly higher than normal, and some of the blood had coagulated, forming black clots, indicating that her injury was not something that had just happened.

After hesitating, he tore the rag-like garment from below with a slight force.

The other party couldn't help but tighten his teeth, as if he was suffering a great deal of pain.

A hideous wound half an arm's length appeared in front of him, and even the intestines could be faintly seen in the deepest part.

This reaffirms him that the woman is not human.

For ordinary people, this kind of wound lasts for 3-4 hours at most, and more commonly, the person who is injured is in shock due to severe pain, and if you do not take first aid measures immediately, you will not wake up again.

Of course, for the ancient times, which lacked medical technology, it was useless to hold out for any longer - the opening of the intestine itself was tantamount to a death sentence.

"When was it hurt?"

"It doesn't matter...... fox demon tried to push him away, but couldn't, "listen to me......"

"Well, a day ago at most. Xia Fan glanced around and found no traces of blood, "There is no new bleeding, has the internal bleeding stopped?" In short, I have never been a doctor, nor have I been a veterinarian, so I can only try my best." ”

After saying that, he picked her up, turned around and put her back on the bed.

"Wait, you...... What are you going to do?"

"Do you need to ask, of course it's to save your life. ”

Normal people are definitely hopeless, but the fact that the other party can survive until now with his self-healing power is enough to show the tenacity of his vitality. He didn't know anything about surgery, and even if he did, he didn't have any modern equipment to wield it, so all he could do was the most basic means of first aid. As the saying goes, it is often the last straw that breaks the camel's back, so if you pull that straw off, you may be able to get back a glimmer of life.

In other words, it's better to do anything than nothing at this time.

Xia Fan first went to the hotel lobby to ask for a hot water - usually the back kitchen always has a stove that does not go out to meet the various needs of guests, and the observation of the spiritual fire usually has to be done at night, so his request is not surprising.

It's just that when he took out the needle and thread for mending clothes and asked to put them in a pot to cook together, and emphasized that the water must be boiled, he still attracted the strange eyes of the shopkeeper.

Fortunately, the "service fee" of one or two silver made the latter immediately smile and promised to do so.

Then he took out the braised beef and handed it to Xiao Er, let him crush it and put it in the porridge and send it over. Late-night snacks are considered a regular service of the hotel, and the latter should naturally be served as well.

After getting these prepared things, Xia Fan returned to the room and began his emergency treatment.

Dirty clothes undoubtedly had to be replaced, as well as dirty blood around the wound, all of which were potential sources of infection. The other party was unexpectedly quiet at this time, neither questioning nor resisting, just looking at him motionlessly, as if he had accepted his fate.

After wiping it clean with hot water repeatedly, he picked up the needle and thread and whispered, "It may hurt next." ”

"I can...... Shout?" she asked, her lips opening and closing slightly, and she asked weakly.

"No, hold on. ”

Xia Fan took a deep breath and stabbed the first shot.

The other party's body trembled visibly.

It was undoubtedly a long and painful process, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was torture to perform sutures without anesthetic. The incense might have eased the pain and soothed the mind, but he couldn't stitch it up while lighting it.

"Human, you're saving me...... Or are you deliberately taking revenge on me?" the woman said sweatingly, "I ...... Never heard of ...... This therapy. ”

"The epidermis has tension, and it is difficult for them to heal on their own, and stitching up can not only shorten the healing cycle, but more importantly, prevent germs from invading the body. Also, my name is Xia Fan. ”

Xia Fan is also not much better, suturing the wound is easier said than done, not to mention that it is difficult to penetrate the wound back and forth with a small sewing needle, just pinching the slippery skin covered with blood is enough to make the scalp tingle. At first, he wanted to sew as neatly and beautifully as possible, but it soon became that as long as he could sew it, he could use any needle. This further increases the pain of the recipient. Under the double pressure, the sweat on his forehead was no less than that of the other party.

The fox demon stared at him for a long time before he spoke again, "...... Black. ”

"What?" he didn't react for a moment.

"My name. ”

After that, she closed her eyes tightly, no longer paying attention to Xia Fan's movements, as if she was going to let him do it.

It took half an hour for Xia Fan to complete the sewing work - to his secret amazement, the other party never screamed during this period, even if the clenched nails pierced the palms and the soaked sweat soaked the sheets, she never opened her mouth.

The last step is to apply medicine and bandage, although the medicine is a natural herb, but it is used in the hospital to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, and it should always have some effect.

After finishing all this, Xia Fan felt that he had a feeling of detachment. He hadn't felt this way in a long time since he had learned to draw qi into his body.

But it's not time to rest.

He went to the shop again, asked for a set of clean sheets and clothes, and changed them for the fox demon. Cleanliness and freshness are the most critical part of the healing process, and even frequent changes in bandages and underwear can greatly reduce the chance of infection.

When all the processing was done, the sky was gradually whitening.

At this time, he was finally able to sit on the edge of the bed and feed the other party porridge one bite at a time.

"You don't want to know...... How did I get hurt?" Li couldn't help but ask softly.

"Yes, but can you talk about it later," Xia Fan kept on his hands, "I guess this story must be very long." ”

β€œ...... If you want to start from the beginning, it's really not short. ”

"Then wait until you wake up after eating. He shrugged, "You can hold on until now, all in one breath, and it is estimated that it will be dispersed later." The first rest after a major injury is crucial and not against the body. I've done everything I could, and God knows how much it will do, but I'm afraid it depends mainly on your own healing ability. ”

"You...... Don't you hate youkai?"

"I don't loathe you. Xia Fan smiled, "Didn't you say it yourself, there are many kinds of demons." I don't have to like everyone. ”

As he said, after eating the porridge, dizziness hit like a tidal wave, making Li drowsy. This drowsiness even outweighs the pain of the wound and is too much to resist.

It's just that she doesn't seem to need to defend against it now.

Until now, Li still has some unreal feelings. Before she came, she was mentally prepared for a drastic change in attitude, reporting to the Privy Council, or being brutalized. She didn't know what the price would have to pay to make the other party have the patience to listen to her finish the story about "Master", but in any case, she didn't expect things to turn out like this-

No reason, no request.

Almost immediately, a helping hand was reached.

She was not even allowed to object.

Li never believes in goodwill for no reason, people pay attention to interests in everything they do, and Xia Fan should be no exception. According to his own words, he wanted to understand the demon through her, and the only thing she wondered about was whether this little benefit was worth it. After all, she really couldn't think of anything else she could use as a bargaining chip.

Consciousness gradually blurred, like the day of injury.

This time, however, she no longer resisted.

In the hazy field of vision, a figure was close in front of him, and the scene that should be on guard was inexplicably relieved at this moment.

In the long-lost calm, she closed her eyes.
