185: I can cure you.
“Can this work?” Wei Xun saw Xiao Ling continuously sucking out his poisonous blood and spitting it onto the ground, quickly breaking into a sweat.
“I can do it!”
Xiao Ling spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood and responded with a firm tone.
“But won’t you get poisoned this way?”
Wei Xun noticed that Xiao Ling’s complexion was getting worse and was no longer as fair as before.
“I’m a physician, I’ll be fine!”
Xiao Ling smiled at Wei Xun, then continued to help him suck out the poisonous blood.
“Take a break!”
Wei Xun felt his body recover a little, slowly able to feel the Spiritual Qi flowing sluggishly within him.
“No rest! Your condition is very bad.”
Xiao Ling shook her head.
“Really? I don’t feel that bad!”
Wei Xun coughed a few times after saying this.
Then Xiao Ling took a mouthful of clear water to rinse her mouth and spit out the poisonous blood, then took out a purple, rooted small flower from the basket behind her.
“What is this?”
Wei Xun asked doubtfully when he saw the flower.
“This flower is called the Purple Leaf Jade Heart Flower!” Xiao Ling said, “I will plant the root of this flower into the wound on your shoulder, and its root system will absorb the venom from your body!”
“It can do that?”
Wei Xun was somewhat shocked after hearing this.
“Yes, it can!”
Xiao Ling nodded heavily, holding the purple small flower in her hand and moving closer to Wei Xun’s shoulder, which had stopped bleeding.
Then she slowly inserted the root of the purple small flower into Wei Xun’s wound, and after the root system slowly spread out, Xiao Ling took out a needle and thread and began to stitch up Wei Xun’s wound forcefully.
But unlike before, Wei Xun could now slowly feel the pain in his shoulder.
After Xiao Ling stitched up Wei Xun’s wound, she brought him a bowl of medicinal soup made by grinding herbs and mixing them with water.
“Big Brother, open your mouth and drink this!”
Xiao Ling held the medicine bowl to Wei Xun’s mouth, and Wei Xun slightly opened his mouth, slowly swallowing the medicinal soup.
After doing all this, Xiao Ling finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Can I recover?”
Wei Xun was still lying on the ground; although he felt much better, he still found it difficult to move.
“Yes, you can!” Xiao Ling smiled slightly at Wei Xun, her eyes curving into crescent moons: “Big Brother, you are very strong, you will definitely recover!”
“Then thank you so much!” Wei Xun forced a smile, feeling incredibly fortunate in his heart that he had helped this little girl twice before, otherwise he would surely have been finished this time.
“Big Brother, you helped me twice! And you saved my life!” Xiao Ling wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand: “Xiao Ling couldn’t find an opportunity to repay you, and this time I finally played my part!”
“You’re amazing!” Wei Xun slowly began to feel his body, and the intense pain throughout his body also began to faintly emerge.
He had swallowed too many Medicinal Pills before, and his Meridians were already overwhelmed.
In addition, he was severely poisoned, and he didn’t know how long he had been soaking in the water before Xiao Ling pulled him out.
Now his body was as bad as it could get.
“I’m a little tired, I’ll go rest by the side!” Xiao Ling stood up and walked towards the tree nearby: “Big Brother, if you feel any discomfort, just tell me!”
“Okay!” Wei Xun immediately agreed.
Then Wei Xun lay on the grass, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above, listening to the sound of the river flowing by and the birds chirping in the sky, feeling a gentle breeze caress his face.
Only then did he feel truly alive.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Xun slowly regained sensation in his body.
Although his whole body was still in unbearable pain, making even simple Qi Gathering difficult, he could at least feel his limbs, so he slowly sat up from the ground.
He turned his head to look in Xiao Ling’s direction; Xiao Ling was leaning against the tree, sleeping, seemingly exhausted from saving him.
Seeing the sun setting, it wouldn’t be long before night fell.
Wei Xun gritted his teeth and slowly dragged his severely injured body towards Xiao Ling under the tree.
But as he got closer, Wei Xun realized that Xiao Ling wasn’t asleep at all; she had been poisoned.
Xiao Ling’s originally fair and delicate face was now bruised, and her lips were even purplish-black.
Seeing this, Wei Xun was shocked, immediately knelt down and reached out to check Xiao Ling’s breathing.
“How can it be so faint!”
Wei Xun could barely feel Xiao Ling’s breath and immediately became anxious; after holding Xiao Ling in his arms, he flipped his hand and took out a large Spiritual Peach.
Then Wei Xun lengthened his fingernails, peeled a small piece of fruit from the Spiritual Peach, and fed it to Xiao Ling’s mouth.
Wei Xun didn’t know how to detoxify Xiao Ling in this situation, so he could only take out the precious Spiritual Peach to see if it would have any effect.
As the peach juice slowly flowed from Xiao Ling’s lips into her mouth, Xiao Ling’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“It’s working!”
Seeing this, Wei Xun continued to squeeze juice from the peach flesh with his fingers and drip it into Xiao Ling’s mouth.
After a moment, Xiao Ling slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that it was Wei Xun holding her, she showed a faint smile.
“Big Brother, I cured you!”
Looking at Xiao Ling’s weak smile, Wei Xun felt a pang in his nose.
“That’s right, Xiao Ling is the best! You cured me, and now it’s my turn to cure you!”
Hearing Wei Xun’s words, Xiao Ling shook her head slightly.
“I’m a physician, I can feel it, the venom has spread throughout my body, I won’t live!”
“No, no, no, no!”
Wei Xun quickly shook his head in denial.
“You can get better, I have a Spiritual Peach here, it’s a treasure!”
“So sweet!” Xiao Ling licked the juice from her lips, revealing a trace of a smile.
“Do you like to eat it? I still have a very big peach here, you can’t even finish it!” Wei Xun sped up his hand, wanting to feed more peach juice into Xiao Ling’s mouth.
But then Xiao Ling suddenly coughed, spitting out a large amount of black blood.
“How could this happen!” Wei Xun immediately panicked: “Xiao Ling, are you okay?”
“I might not make it!” Xiao Ling lay in Wei Xun’s arms, smiling faintly, then reached out to try and caress Wei Xun’s face.
Wei Xun immediately took Xiao Ling’s hand and pressed it against his face.
“You’ll get better!” Wei Xun tried to hold back the tears in his eyes: “Aren’t you a physician? You still have to continue saving lives and helping the injured!”
“I might... not be able to!”
After Xiao Ling said this, her eyes slowly began to lose focus, and the hand touching Wei Xun’s face also lost its last bit of strength.
“Xiao Ling...” Wei Xun noticed the abnormality and froze in place, completely unable to accept the scene before him.
Tears slipped from Wei Xun’s eyes, swept away by a sudden gust of wind.
Coming back to his senses, Wei Xun slowly closed Xiao Ling’s still open eyes, then carried Xiao Ling’s body and slowly walked towards the depths of the Hundred Flowers Valley.
