Chapter 158 Mark
Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan had already left the woods by now. There was no one around, only wild grass. The horse that Pei Yi had ridden to chase Xie Zhichan was too tired to run any further. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his hooves trembling with pain.
Pei Yi had no choice but to take out her scalpel from Xie Zhichan, wipe off the blood stains from killing the bandits with her clothes, put the blade on the tinder to disinfect it again and again, and after preparing the knife, she unbuttoned Xie Zhichan's clothes.
When he undressed her, it was as if he was worshipping a statue. He did not dare to have the slightest blasphemous thought. He only pulled the clothes off her left shoulder and put them on her arm. Just as he used a handkerchief to wipe some of the blood on her chest, his eyes froze, and he saw a snake-shaped mark on her chest, near the soft spot.
Pei Yi felt that this snake-shaped mark was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he ignored it for the time being.
He sprinkled a circle of hemostatic powder around the wound and used a scalpel to cut off the front arrow shaft. Fortunately, this scalpel could even cut bones and cut the arrow shaft very quickly without shaking the arrow head and causing secondary damage to the wound.
Then he tore off a few strips of cloth from the hem of his shirt, wrapped them around the wound twice around his shoulders to stop the bleeding, then stuffed a piece of cloth into Xie Zhichan's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue, and wrapped a strip of cloth around the bottom of the arrow that pierced her back. He took a deep breath and pulled the arrow out.
The moment the arrow was pulled out, Xie Zhichan groaned and was awakened by the pain.
Pei Yi hurriedly shouted: "Ayuan! Wake up and take me into the space. You need a place to rest now."
As soon as he finished speaking, his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was indeed in Xie Zhichan's medical space.
Xie Zhichan had wounds on her front and back, and Pei Yi didn't dare let her lie down or lie prone, for fear of putting pressure on her wounds. So he held her in his arms and sat on the bed, letting her lean on him.
He also found alcohol in the medical cabinet next to the bed to clean Xie Zhichan's wounds, and found suitable trauma medicine to apply on the front and back wounds.
He was familiar with these two kinds of medicine in the military camp in the northern border, so he knew how to use them.
He didn't dare use other medicines indiscriminately.
Another hour passed before Xie Zhichan's muffled groan was heard again.
Pei Yi was really tired tonight. He hugged Xie Zhichan and leaned against the bedside for a while. When he heard Xie Zhichan's voice, he immediately lowered his head to look at the person in his arms: "Ayuan, are you okay?"
Xie Zhichan glanced around and found that she and Pei Yi were both in the medical space. The thought she had just before she fainted really took effect.
Seeing that they were safe enough now, she relaxed a lot.
She lifted her clothes to look at her wound and saw that she had only applied some trauma medicine. However, for such a deep penetrating wound, sutures were necessary if she wanted to heal quickly.
But in this position, it was not convenient for her to do it herself.
She said to Pei Yi: "Pei Nandu, let me teach you, you sew up my wound."
She was afraid that she would faint again from fatigue or blood loss, so she started the anesthesia procedure using voice without waiting for Pei Yi to react.
While waiting for the anesthesia to take effect, she briefly explained to Pei Yi the principles of the procedures in this medical space. After the anesthesia procedure was declared over, she used a command to start the hemostasis procedure. A robotic arm with a hemostatic clamp stretched out and pressed around the wound, leaving only space for sutures.
Under Xie Zhichan's instruction, Pei Yi sutured the wound on her chest stitch by stitch. With each stitch, he could feel the needle tip piercing the flesh. Without anesthesia, this process would have been very painful.
Xie Zhichan saw that he was frowning and knew that he was upset, so he deliberately joked with him: "Pei Nandu, you have to sew it up for me. I don't want to leave an ugly scar on such a sexy place."
Pei Yi responded sullenly: "Yeah."
Then he looked at Xie Zhichan and said, "Even if it leaves scars, it's still the sexiest in my eyes."
He knew that Ayuan said this just to make him feel better. She had the best scar removal cream, so why would she worry about leaving scars?
After suturing the wounds in front and back, Pei Yi had gained experience and no longer needed Xie Zhichan's guidance, and he finished quickly.
Xie Zhichan asked Pei Yi to lie down, and she lay on her side beside him, resting her uninjured shoulder in Pei Yi's arms.
Feeling that Pei Yi was unhappy and silent, she asked, "What's wrong? If you want to tell me something, hurry up while I'm awake, or I'll fall asleep soon."
Pei Yi said: "Ayuan, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
Xie Zhichan was startled, then he patted his chest gently and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. I just wanted to have fun. I should be responsible for my own choice and can't blame others. You allowed me to go wild, get hurt, make mistakes, and grow. This is how good you are to me. I'm actually very happy that you didn't press my acupoints and threw me in the carriage to be protected by others. Do you know that?"
Pei Yi understood what Xie Zhichan meant. He groaned, touched her head and said, "Go to sleep. When you wake up, the wound will heal."
After that, he placed a kiss on her forehead.
Even though they were in the midst of war and one of them was injured, the two of them hugged each other and slept for a long, comfortable night.
When the two woke up the next day, they looked out of the space and saw that the sun was already high above the mountain.
The horse ridden by Xie Zhichan had long since run away, and the horse ridden by Pei Yi had not recovered its strength after a night's rest. Instead, it looked as if it was about to die, and lay on the ground motionless.
It is unlikely for the two of them to walk back and reunite with the main force at the moment.
Before setting off, Pei Yi gave Hua Manxi the right to deal with the situation as needed. No matter what, the disaster in Jiangnan was the most important thing. If an accident occurred, Hua Manxi would definitely take people to Jiangnan first and send people to look for the two of them.
Therefore, Pei Yi could predict that by the time the two of them walked back into the woods, the large army would have already set out again.
Pei Yi said, "This place is in Ci County. Let's first settle down in the city, rent a carriage, and then meet up with Manxi and the others in Yangzhou."
Xie Zhichan agreed.
Just as she was about to move forward, Pei Yi bent down and squatted in front of her, saying, "Get on, I'll carry you."
Xie Zhichan walked around Pei Yi and went straight forward.
"My shoulder was injured, not my leg."
As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Yi picked her up and stared at her with his deep eyes: "Either let me carry you on my back, or I will carry you like this."
Xie Zhichan inexplicably felt that this overbearing CEO tasted quite sweet.
But Pei Yi was too tired to carry her on the road like this, so he had to compromise and said, "You should just carry me on your back."
Pei Yi's mouth curled up, he proudly put Xie Zhichan down, and squatted down in front of her again.
The two men walked like this for the whole morning, and asked several passers-by on the road. They were so hungry that they finally saw the city gate of Ci County.
