Chapter 1147 Poison
Chapter 1147 Poison
The black bloodstains, like a seductive flower, bloomed on Jiang Muze's snow-white shirt. Cheng Yunchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He hurriedly picked up Jiang Muze and roared, "Muze! Muze!"
Jiang Mubai was also stunned. She looked at the strange black color at the corner of Jiang Muze's mouth, and her mind went blank. "Yunchuan, send him to the hospital! Quick!" She suddenly came to her senses, her voice trembling, but extremely firm.
Cheng Yunchuan rushed out holding Jiang Muze, and Jiang Mubai followed closely behind. The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, mixed with Cheng Yunchuan's rapid breathing, which seemed particularly depressing. Jiang Mubai clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost embedded in her flesh, and she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
The lights in the emergency room were blindingly red, as if silently mocking their powerlessness. Cheng Yunchuan sat dejectedly on a bench in the corridor, covering his face with his hands and groaning in pain.
Jiang Mubai walked to his side and gently hugged his shoulders. "Yunchuan, it will be okay, it will be okay..." She repeated this sentence over and over again, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was talking to Cheng Yunchuan.
Time passed minute by minute, and the lights in the emergency room remained on, as if a huge devil's claw, tightly strangling their throats and making them unable to breathe.
Finally, the lights in the emergency room went out. The doctor came out, took off his mask, and said tiredly: "The patient was poisoned, a very rare poison, we have tried our best..."
Jiang Mubai felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted. Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly, grabbed the doctor by the collar, and shouted: "Try your best? Is this what you mean by try your best? He hasn't woken up yet! Tell me, what happened to him!"
The doctor sighed helplessly, pried open Cheng Yunchuan's hands, and said: "The patient is in a critical condition and needs surgery immediately, but the antidote for this poison is very rare and our hospital does not have it..."
"Antidote?" Jiang Mubai grasped this key word, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Doctor, what is the antidote? Tell me, I'll find it!"
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "It is a rare medicinal herb called 'Snow Lotus Seed', which can only be found in extremely cold places..."
"Snow lotus seeds..." Jiang Mubai muttered to herself, and a picture suddenly flashed through her mind: when she was a child, she and Jiang Muze were playing in the mountains. Jiang Muze accidentally broke his leg, and she used a kind of white flower to stop the bleeding for him. That flower was called snow lotus seeds...
Cheng Yunchuan also thought of this. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Mubai, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Mubai, do you still remember the snow mountain we went to when we were young? There may be snow lotus seeds there!"
Jiang Mubai nodded, his eyes firm. "Yunchuan, let's go!"
The two of them immediately set off and headed for the snow-capped mountain in their memory. The snow-capped mountain was towering into the clouds, covered with white snow, and the cold wind was howling, like a huge ice monster, baring its fangs and claws and wanting to devour everything.
Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan wore thick down jackets and trudged through the snow. "Yunchuan, we must find the snow lotus seeds and save Mu Ze!" Jiang Mubai's tone was firm, but he could not hide his inner fear.
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand tightly, giving her strength. "Don't worry, Mu Bai, we can do it!"
They climbed up step by step. The wind and snow became stronger and stronger. It was as if they were in a white maze and could not find the exit.
At this moment, Jiang Mubai slipped and fell down... "Mubai!" Cheng Yunchuan exclaimed, reaching out to grab him, but he only grabbed emptiness...
"Mubai!" Cheng Yunchuan's screams echoed in the empty snowy mountains, but he couldn't stop Jiang Mubai from falling. His heart suddenly shrank, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost suffocating him. He almost instinctively rushed to the edge of the cliff, but he only had time to grab the corner of Jiang Mubai's down jacket.
The thin fabric made a teeth-grinding tearing sound under the huge pulling force, and Cheng Yunchuan's fingers were pinched so hard that they hurt, but he didn't dare to relax at all. He gritted his teeth, and the muscles in his arms were as tight as steel, trying his best to pull Jiang Mubai up.
"Yunchuan... let go... you can't hold me back..." Jiang Mubai's voice came from below, weak and trembling. In the wind and snow, she felt like a fallen leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any time.
"Shut up! I won't let go! Absolutely not!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice became hoarse due to the exertion. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and instantly froze into ice in the biting cold wind.
He felt that his arm was about to break, but he still refused to give up. Below was a bottomless abyss, and he knew that if he let go, Jiang Mubai would surely die.
"Yunchuan...listen to me..." Jiang Mubai's voice became weaker and weaker, "If...if I can't go back...you must...must find the snow lotus seeds...save Mu Ze..."
Hearing Jiang Muze's name, Cheng Yunchuan felt a pain in his heart. He knew that Jiang Mubai always cared about her brother the most. He gritted his teeth and used up his last bit of strength to pull Jiang Mubai up a little.
"Stop talking! I will definitely save you two! I will!"
Jiang Mubai was pulled to a place only one meter away from the edge of the cliff. She stretched out her hand and tried to grab Cheng Yunchuan's hand. However, at this moment, the corner of her down jacket was completely torn, and she fell down again.
"No!" Cheng Yunchuan's desperate roar resounded through the snowy mountains. He watched Jiang Mubai's figure disappear in the vast snowstorm, like a meteor, streaking through the night sky and finally falling into endless darkness.
Cheng Yunchuan sat helplessly on the snow, trembling all over, tears mixed with snowflakes, blurring his vision. He felt that his heart had been hollowed out, leaving only endless emptiness and despair.
He lost her.
Just as he fell into despair, a weak voice suddenly came to his ears: "Cheng Yunchuan... I'm here..."
Cheng Yunchuan raised his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound in disbelief. A few meters away from him, a white figure was slowly crawling out of the snow.
It’s Jiang Mubai!
She is still alive!
Cheng Yunchuan could hardly believe his eyes. He rushed to Jiang Mubai and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
"Mu Bai...you're okay...that's great...you scared me to death..." He spoke incoherently, his voice trembling with joy and fear of surviving the disaster.
Jiang Mubai smiled weakly and patted his back gently. "I'm fine... I just... fell into a snow pile..."
Cheng Yunchuan then noticed that there was indeed a thick snow pile where Jiang Mubai fell. If it weren't for this snow pile that cushioned the impact, the consequences would be disastrous.
