Chapter 75: The Dawn of the Mist

There was once a story about a time when there was a shortage of medicine in the desert. A man had a heart attack and was in danger. At that time, the doctor had no choice but to use a knife to open the patient’s stomach without anesthesia, pinch the patient’s heart with his hand, and help his heart beat… and then saved the patient’s life!

I don’t remember the details of the story, but if it’s true, I’d admire not the doctor, but the patient. I can’t imagine what kind of pain that would be like. Right now, I’m almost fainting from the pain!

I don’t know what this woman’s fingernails are made of, but they are so sharp that they have pierced my chest. I can feel the edge of her fingernails touching my heart, and when she slices across my heart, the pain and the feeling of not being able to breathe make me almost faint.

“What are you doing?” Ling Ruxue reacted only now because Qiaolan was moving too fast. She pushed Qiaolan away with all her strength, but at the same time, the witch Boche had already grabbed her.

“What are you doing?” Ling Ruxue was unafraid, and she stood up to Qiaolan and Boqie. I covered my chest, and the sudden pain made me unable to speak.

What else can I do? The heart, umbilical cord, and eyebrow blood are all locations where the essence of blood is located. Qiaolan stabbed her fingernails into my chest purely to torture me. This is basically my own fault.

Boke didn’t even look at Ling Ruxue, but instead held Qiaolan’s wrist and carefully sniffed Qiaolan’s fingernails with his nose. It was only then that I noticed that the edges of Qiaolan’s fingernails were shining with a strange luster, clearly inlaid with a circle of iron pieces around them.

Ling Ruxue had already been released by Boqie. She didn’t care about Boqie and Qiaolan, but rushed to my side, helped me up, and carefully examined my wound! Because Qiaolan’s movements were very fast, and the nails she inserted were relatively thin, the wound was not very big, and there was not even much blood.

I was just amazed at this woman’s skill, how she could have stabbed me in the heart between my ribs and even touched my heart.

She didn’t hurt my heart, so it wasn’t a serious injury. It was just a small wound, only a little deeper. It was the psychological pressure of being so close to the heart that was unbearable.

In addition, I was shocked by Qiaolan’s skill. Even a skilled surgeon couldn’t do it all at once. If she missed the heart by even a little, it would be a serious injury. How many people did she kill? Or how many corpses did she touch? To have this skill?

Seeing that I was unharmed, Ling Ruxue finally let out a sigh of relief. At this time, Boqie also let go of Qiaolan’s hand and hurriedly said something to Qiaolan in that ancient language, and Qiaolan listened respectfully.

Afterwards, the old man threw a bamboo tube to Ling Ruxue and said, “The powder inside is good for stopping bleeding and healing wounds. Give him a good treatment. I won’t be coming to get blood for a few days, and you shouldn’t leave the restricted area either. Take good care of your health.”Taoist priest

Ling Ruxue treated my wound, sewing it up with fine, dense stitches, and then sprinkling it with that special powder. I endured another pain. In this kind of village, it is impossible to find an anesthetic.

But old things have the value of old things. The effect of the powder was surprisingly good, even better than the hemostatic powder that the old man Boqie used to give me. If it could be developed into medicine, it would be a huge fortune. Do the people in this village still need to go out and swindle money with people?

To ease the atmosphere, I told Ling Ruxue about this idea. Ling Ruxue just gave me a blank look and said, “Do you think it’s that easy to find the herbs to make the powder? You’re so naive.”

I was speechless and stuck out my tongue. In this woman’s eyes, have I always been so ‘childish’?

The wound was not serious, so Ling Ruxue was relieved. After this storm, she was also a little tired, and she was speechless with me, and it was even more embarrassing. After a moment of silence, Ling Ruxue went back to her room.

Once Ling Ruxue returned to her room, Gao Ning took the opportunity to pass me another note. I held it in my hand in silence until Gao Ning and the others left an hour later. I returned to my room and unfolded the note to read it.

There was only a simple line of text: “Recuperate well. See you at 3 a.m. at the usual place.”

I burned the note, then skipped lunch and went straight to bed without a word. I slept until dinner time.

The dinner was still very rich, and it was still mainly made up of dishes that replenish blood. I ate a lot, and after the meal, I went to the courtyard to practice a set of boxing until my whole body was slightly sweating and my blood was boiling.

This level is just right, it doesn’t consume too much energy, and it just gets the body moving. I don’t know how dangerous Gao Ning’s actions are, but in any case, I must maintain my best condition to deal with everything.

That night, Huigen and Ling Ruxue both went to bed, while I closed my eyes in my room, silently calculating the time and thinking about how to leave the house carefully, preferably without being seen by those eyes.

But at this time, I didn’t expect the door to my room to be knocked on.

I opened the door and saw Ling Ruxue standing there. I was very surprised. Why would she come to see me in the middle of the night? But seeing her serious expression, I still let her in sideways.

After entering, Ling Ruxue didn’t say anything superfluous, but directly asked me, “What are your plans?”

I was shocked and almost subconsciously replied, “What do you mean?”

Ling Ruxue said to me, “I know that you must have some kind of support here in the village, waiting for an opportunity to be rescued. I was thinking the same thing, and… and I’m going to help you, after all, you’re not familiar with the Miao witchcraft or the Miao witch. But now I feel that things are getting more and more wrong. I think they have a big conspiracy against you. Don’t you feel it? Don’t you have any plans?”

I looked at Ling Ruxue and saw her eyes. I knew that she was really worried about me. When she pushed away Qiaolan today despite the danger, I knew that this woman was not as cold as she appeared to be. I didn’t know if she liked me, but I knew that she was not a heartless person.

I sighed, but I had some concerns, and it wasn’t the time to tell Ling Ruxue. I said to her, “I have a feeling, although I don’t know what they are going to do, but it’s mostly related to the blood and essence. Do you remember? Bu Zhou said I wouldn’t live long.”

Ling Ruxue was obviously very anxious. She could no longer maintain her usual blank expression on her face, but instead frowned slightly and asked, “If that’s the case, aren’t you worried? Aren’t you going to do anything about it? You’re not even asking me, aren’t you going to discuss it with me?”

I said, “What do you suggest?”

Ling Ruxue was silent. After a long time, she said, “I’ll go find Bu Zhou.”

I felt a surge of anger, but I knew she was doing it for me. She couldn’t bear to see me die. I put my hands in my pockets, so I could control the urge to hold her. Then I said to Ling Ruxue seriously, “I have a plan and a way. Do you trust me?”

Ling Ruxue looked at me in surprise and said after a long time, “I believe you, but is it reliable?”

I turned my head and looked out the window, thinking to myself, how could it not be reliable? I even left a will, and I had thought of every possible way out. I said softly, “That is the best way to deal with the situation! Just trust me. I just hope that when that day comes, you will come with me.”

“I’ll go with you?” Ling Ruxue muttered, but didn’t answer me, and then turned and walked away.

I looked at her background, and my heart was full of mixed feelings. If I took her away by force at that time, would she hate me? And would the Yueyan Miao village bear the wrath of the Heiyan Miao village?

Time passed so quickly, and the early spring was almost over.

But time passes so slowly. Will I be able to see my master until the end of summer? I lit a cigarette and contemplated the long night ahead.

Before I knew it, it was already 2:30 in the morning. I had a small bag packed and slowly tied my shoelaces before climbing out the window.

I hope the eyes of the people in charge didn’t notice any of this.
