The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 344: A sudden change

On the narrow and rugged mountain road, sharp stones and soft soil were mixed together, and every step was like walking in a thorn bush. Lin Ruoxue looked at Bai Zixuan's shaky body, anxious, and her heart seemed to jump out of her throat. She rushed forward in two steps, stretched out her hand and tightly grabbed Bai Zixuan's sleeve, which was soaked with blood and sweat, sticky and hard.

"Bai Zixuan, you can't go on. You're too badly injured." Lin Ruoxue's voice was obviously crying, and her voice was shaking like a leaf shivering in the cold wind in late autumn. Her eyes were wide open, and fear and worry were surging in her eyes like a tide. She knew that if it wasn't for protecting herself and Xiaoxuan, Bai Zixuan wouldn't be so badly injured. At this moment, her heartbeat was like a dense drumbeat, and every beat conveyed anxiety and fear. Terrible thoughts kept flashing through her mind. If Bai Zixuan had any accident, she really couldn't imagine how she would face it all.

Bai Zixuan slowly turned his head slightly, his pale lips trembling slightly, wanting to say something to comfort Lin Ruoxue, telling her not to worry. However, before he could say anything, a wave of dizziness suddenly hit him, instantly drowning him. The scene in front of him was like being shrouded in fog, quickly becoming blurred, and his legs seemed to have lost their bones, so soft that they could no longer support the weight of his body.

"No, we have to hurry..." Bai Zixuan said with his last bit of strength, but his voice was like a candle in the wind, getting weaker and weaker until it disappeared into the air. Then, his body fell forward like a felled tree.

"Bai Zixuan!" Lin Ruoxue's eyes widened in horror, filled with despair and helplessness. She screamed, and the sound cut through the silence of the forest. At the same time, she hurriedly stretched out her arms, trying to catch Bai Zixuan's falling body. Her mind went blank in an instant, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Xiaoxuan saw this scene and burst into tears. Her sharp cry echoed in the silent forest and startled several birds perched on the branches. "Brother Bai, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Xiaoxuan!" Xiaoxuan cried and shouted, tears streaming down her red face like a flood.

Lin Ruoxue hugged Bai Zixuan tightly. She could clearly feel that Bai Zixuan's body was heavy and weak, and his breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. Lin Ruoxue's tears flowed uncontrollably, dripping on Bai Zixuan's face. "Bai Zixuan, wake up! You can't be in trouble!" Her voice trembled with endless prayers, as if as long as she was devout enough, she could wake Bai Zixuan from the abyss of darkness.

At this time, the breeze blew gently, and the leaves rustled, as if sighing for this sudden change. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming golden rays, but it could not bring a trace of warmth to this cold scene. Lin Ruoxue sat on the ground and gently placed Bai Zixuan's head on her legs. Her hand kept stroking Bai Zixuan's cheek, her fingers trembling slightly, trying to wake him up with her own warmth.

Xiaoxuan squatted beside him, holding onto the corner of Bai Zixuan's clothes tightly with her little hands, sobbing non-stop. "Master, will Brother Bai die?" Xiaoxuan raised her tearful little face and looked at Lin Ruoxue pitifully.

Lin Ruoxue felt a sharp pain in her heart. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "No, Xiaoxuan, Brother Bai will be fine. We will definitely save him." Although Lin Ruoxue said this, her eyes were full of confusion and fear. She didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her, so she could only hug Bai Zixuan tightly, as if this would save his life.

The friends who were traveling with them also gathered around at this time, each with a look of panic on their face.

"What should we do? Brother Bai..." a young man said anxiously. He kept scratching his head, his eyes full of worry.

"We have to think of a way. We can't just stand there and watch Brother Bai like this." Another woman frowned, her voice tinged with tears.

Everyone was discussing it, but no one had a practical solution.

The surrounding forest was silent, with only Xiaoxuan's crying, Lin Ruoxue's heavy breathing, and her friends' anxious whispers. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the whole world seemed to be left with only the three of them, waiting for the judgment of fate on this dangerous and unknown mountain road. Lin Ruoxue looked at Bai Zixuan's bloodless face and swore in her heart that no matter what the cost, she must let Bai Zixuan live.
