Chapter 308: A Face of Self-blame and Regret
"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Hongyao comforted with a smile.
An Xueyan knew in her heart that it was impossible not to feel pain, so she silently took out the medicine she had with her and cleaned and bandaged his wound.
There was a big cut on the back of his head, no wonder so much blood was shed. But this man could still talk to her calmly and didn't even cry out in pain.
Jiang Hongyao was pressed down by his prospective partner and sat down, feeling the soft little hands moving on his head.
He only felt his heart beating wildly out of his control, bubbling with happiness, and a silly smile that didn't match his temperament appeared on his face. How could he feel any pain?
It took me a while to remember the important matter.
So he said, "I found the red frost. After we get down the mountain, I can go back and make medicine. Your brother will get better soon."
"Hiss~" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." An Xueyan apologized quickly.
"I've found it! Oh, it's like searching for something without any effort, but it's finally found."
With excited eyes full of stars, he looked at Jiang Hongyao and said, "You are such a lucky star. That's great."
After bandaging the wound, Jiang Hongyao took her inside. He went out just when he was halfway through collecting the wound.
His injured hand made it inconvenient for him to move, so he was not very fast. Now with An Xueyan there, the two of them collected everything in no time.
I found some firewood and started a fire, planning to wait until dawn tomorrow before going up.
After all this trouble, Jiang Hongyao was still alive and she had found the medicine to detoxify her brother. An Xueyan finally relaxed.
After sitting by the fire for a while, she fell asleep on Jiang Hongyao's shoulder in a daze.
Jiang Hongyao looked at An Xueyan who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, his eyes gentle and affectionate.
After a long time, he gently moved his body, hoping to make her sleep more comfortably, but accidentally woke her up.
An Xueyan was sleepy and her face turned red when she saw herself leaning against Jiang Hongyao.
Jiang Hongyao hurriedly said softly: "It's okay, you can sleep a little longer, it's still early."
An Xueyan shook her head, sat up straight and said, "I slept well. You should also get some sleep and recover. We have to go down the mountain tomorrow."
"I can get down the mountain without rest. You are a girl, you can't stay up late. It's bad for your health. Be obedient and sleep a little longer."
An Xueyan insisted, "No, I'm a doctor, you're a patient now and you have to listen to me."
She looked at Jiang Hongyao with stubborn eyes, and finally Jiang Hongyao compromised.
The next day, at daybreak, the two men ate the little food they had left and prepared to go up.
An Xueyan walked the entire route last night, and it was easier to walk during the day. The two of them climbed up in a short time.
Liu Heizi, who stayed upstairs, had not left yet. He felt relieved to see the two of them appear together.
He sighed thankfully, "I'm glad you're all okay. It's a blessing to be able to come back relatively intact in this situation."
Jiang Hongyao said, "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to have worried you. It's getting late. Let's get ready to go down the mountain."
"Okay, if you guys don't show up, I'm going to go down the mountain."
Liu Heizi was telling the truth. Although he was really worried about these two people, he would not leave until noon at the latest. Otherwise, he would definitely die when the snowstorm came tomorrow. He also had a whole family to support and could not die outside.
They reached the bottom of the mountain in the evening of the second day, by which time the weather had already changed.
After saying goodbye to Liu Heizi, the two of them found a place to have dinner and then went to stay in a guesthouse.
After sleeping in the open air these days, An Xueyan felt that she smelled bad.
So he washed up first, changed his dirty clothes, and then took out the ointment to apply to the wounds on his body.
Her feet had been rubbed raw for a long time. Although she found opportunities to apply medicine, she would get rubbed again when walking, and the situation kept getting worse and worse.
It was already inflamed, and there were several bruises and scratches on her body. She fell when she went to find Jiang Hongyao. She had been enduring it because she was in a hurry to get there, and she deliberately avoided it so that Jiang Hongyao would not notice.
After giving himself a simple treatment, he carried the medicine box and went next door.
He raised the small medicine box in his hand to Jiang Hongyao who opened the door and said with a smile, "I'll change the medicine for you."
Smelling the scent of medicine in the air, Jiang Hongyao's face changed and he asked, "Are you injured too?"
An Xueyan smiled casually and said, "It's just a little bruise. I'll apply some medicine and it will be healed tomorrow. The skin isn't even broken."
Pull Jiang Hongyao into the room.
Jiang Hongyao noticed that her steps were not right and she was obviously trying to avoid exerting too much force. He said affirmatively, "Your foot is also injured. Let me see it."
His face was full of self-blame and regret. It was all his fault that the little girl got hurt right under his nose without him noticing.
Actually, it's not his fault. He used to hang out with a bunch of older men, who were all tough and had no problems. He didn't think about this at the moment.
"I've already applied the medicine. You just have a few blisters. They'll heal quickly if you take care of them. Don't worry, sit down and I'll change the medicine for you."
"I'll just take a look." Jiang Hongyao insisted.
Helplessly, An Xueyan could only sit down, take off her shoes and show him the wound on her foot.
The man held up the two white and tender feet, and seeing the bloody wounds on them, his heart felt like it was being pulled by someone.
He let her go only after making sure her feet were medicated.
After An Xueyan changed his dressing, she picked him up with one hand.
"Hey, Jiang Hongyao, what are you doing?" An Xueyan screamed in shock.
"I'll take you back to your room. Try not to step on the ground for a few days, otherwise the wound will be rubbed again." He carried the person to her room easily like a child.
An Xueyan......
She had never been held in this way since she grew up, and her face was as red as a ripe apple.
Luckily, I met the waiter of the guesthouse when I came out.
The waiter, with a wary look on his face, scolded, "What are you doing? You can't stay in the same room if you're not a married couple. This is a legitimate guesthouse. Don't mess around or we'll arrest you and send you to the police station, and we'll report you to your workplace."
"Her foot was injured and it was inconvenient for her to move. I came out after sending her back to her room." Jiang Hongyao explained seriously.
"How can you run out of the room when you're injured?" The waitress looked at the two of them with an expression that said, "You're treating me like fools."
Jiang Hongyao said in a doting tone: "She was worried about my hand and came to change the dressing for me."
"Then send the person in and come out." The waitress said, but she didn't leave and watched Jiang Hongyao send the person in.
An Xueyan wanted to die so much that she buried her face in Jiang Hongyao's neck like an ostrich.
He put her on the bed, touched her head, and said gently, "Go to bed early. Someone will come to pick us up tomorrow, and we can go back in the afternoon."
An Xueyan nodded quickly: "I understand, you should go out quickly." If she didn't go out, the elder sister outside would rush in.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soul-stirring knock on the door from outside.
"Put him down and get out right away. Do you know how important a lesbian's reputation is?"
