Chapter 52 Chu Ci Seeks Medical Treatment
With her last ounce of strength, Chu Ci struggled to pick up the white outer garment from the ground and carefully draped it over Shi An's shoulders.
Then, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and completely lost consciousness.
Shi An struggled painfully to get up, but her body wouldn't obey her commands. She fell several times before finally standing up, trembling.
Then, trembling, he reached out his hand to check Chu Ci's breath.
When she felt the faint exhalation, Shi An felt a sense of relief and her whole body went limp.
Fortunately, still alive.
Shi An dared not delay for a moment and immediately turned around and rushed to the cabinet to find the wound medicine.
His hands trembled violently as he finally managed to open the bottle and sprinkle the powder onto Chu Ci's deep, bone-revealing wound.
Then, he hurriedly found a clean piece of brocade cloth and tightly wrapped the wound.
Seeing Chu Ci's severe injuries, Shi An felt heartbroken, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
He simply couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.
Why does a perfectly good life suddenly become so chaotic and bloody?
After bandaging his wound, Shi An didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He ran barefoot and stumbled all the way to Wu Liu's house.
Wu Liu recently fell ill, and Song He has been staying at home to take care of him instead of going to the clinic to help.
Hearing a rapid knocking, Song He was startled and quickly ran to open the door.
Seeing Shi An standing outside the door, a look of concern appeared on his face.
"Brother Shi'an, what happened?"
He had never seen Shi An so flustered; her face was as white as paper.
"My lady...my lady is injured! Quick, quick, help her!"
Today was Song Zhao's day off, and he did not need to go to school, so he went out of his room to check the situation after hearing the noise.
Seeing that Shi An's expression was off, she couldn't help but frown: "Chu Ci is injured? What happened?"
Shi An was extremely anxious and couldn't explain in detail in a short time, so he could only urge anxiously, "Come with me quickly."
Both Song Zhao and Song He noticed Shi An's unusual behavior and, not daring to delay, hurriedly followed him to Chu Ci's house.
However, when they stepped into Chu Ci's house, they were stunned by the scene before them.
A dismembered corpse lay on the ground, the pungent smell of blood filling the air.
Song He screamed in fright, her face turning as pale as paper.
Although Song Zhao tried to remain calm, his heart was filled with fear and unease.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then followed Shi An into the bedroom.
Upon entering the bedroom, they saw Chu Ci lying there quietly, covered in blood, as if she had lost the breath of life.
Song Zhao's heart clenched instantly, almost leaping out of his throat.
She murmured incredulously, "My God!!! What on earth happened?"
Outside, Song He tightly covered her mouth, desperately suppressing the urge to vomit, and stepped over the corpse to enter the house.
At this moment, Song Zhao quickly helped Chu Ci up, carefully avoiding her wounds, and gently lifted her up.
"Where's your donkey?" Song Zhao asked Shi An while checking on Chu Ci's condition.
“In…in the yard,” Shi An replied, her voice trembling.
“Then bring out the donkey. I’ll take Chu Ci to the town clinic on the donkey first,” Song Zhao said.
“Okay!” Shi An readily agreed and quickly went to the yard to fetch the donkey.
At this point, he couldn't care less about anything else; all he wanted was to save Chu Ci's life as quickly as possible.
Song Zhao carefully picked up Chu Ci and let her lie on the donkey's back. Then he got on himself and rode the donkey to town to find a doctor.
Shi An followed behind them all the way to the door, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he could no longer see the two of them. But then he seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the ground with a thud.
Waves of lingering fear washed over Shi An like a tidal wave.
He couldn't imagine what he would become if Chu Ci really died.
He might go insane because he can't handle the blow.
Thinking of this, Shi An couldn't help but shudder.
On the other side, Song He endured the intense discomfort and nausea, and found a white cloth to cover the corpse.
She turned to look at Shi An and found him sitting on the ground, one side of his face swollen and his feet covered with cuts from stones. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort him.
He walked over to Shi An, carefully helped him up, and then gently hugged him, comforting him, "Brother Shi An, don't be afraid, Sister Chu Ci will be alright. Look, her wound has stopped bleeding, so it's definitely not life-threatening."
Shi An gripped Song He's arm tightly, barely managing to stand, and said in a trembling voice, "I have to go find my wife; I'm really worried about her."
After he finished speaking, he tried to take a step, but Song He immediately pulled him back forcefully.
“Look at your feet, they’re all injured like this, how can you walk? Come back inside with me to change your shoes, then we can go to the village chief’s house to borrow an oxcart.”
Upon hearing Song He's reminder, Shi An finally noticed how serious his foot injury was; he had previously ignored the pain because he was too worried about Chu Ci.
He couldn't help but shift his foot slightly, but ultimately decided to heed Song He's advice.
The village chief of Sanyuan Village was a kind and amiable woman who had been a longtime friend of Chu Ci's mother.
When she saw Shi An come to borrow the cart, she casually asked a few questions and readily lent it to them.
After Shi An and Song He boarded the oxcart, they sped off to the clinic.
On the way, Song He couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened to your family? How could... someone die?"
Shi An bit his lip, trembling with anger, and said that a crazy woman wanted to hurt him, and that Chu Ci was injured while protecting him.
"Oh my god!" Song He was also very angry after hearing this. "We live in such a remote place, how could we still encounter such a thing?"
Shi An shook his head. This was no accident. This person had come for him and knew a lot about him.
It's truly terrifying.
If Chu Ci hadn't killed her, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After that, they remained silent on the way, and Shi An arrived at the clinic in the afternoon.
He pushed open the door of the clinic and immediately saw Chu Ci lying quietly on a bed.
Shi An walked over quickly, sat on the edge of the bed, and carefully examined Chu Ci's pale face, her eyes filled with tenderness.
He Baobao finished her acupuncture treatment and was packing her things.
Seeing Shi An's anxious expression, she comforted her, "Don't worry, she's out of danger and just needs some rest. I've already given Chu Ci acupuncture and treatment; she'll recover slowly."
Shi An nodded, almost kneeling down in gratitude: "Thank you, Dr. He. Thank you for saving my wife."
