The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 345: All-out treatment

Lin Ruoxue quickly scanned the surroundings and found a relatively hidden and flat patch of grass not far away. A hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she turned to Xiaoxuan and said, "Xiaoxuan, let's take Bai Zixuan over there." Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.

The two of them struggled to lift Bai Zixuan up. His body was as heavy as if it was filled with lead. Lin Ruoxue felt her arms trembling slightly, but she gritted her teeth and persisted. With every step she took, the dead branches under her feet made a "crackling" sound, as if it was the accompaniment of the tense atmosphere. After finally bringing Bai Zixuan to the bush, Lin Ruoxue gently put him down, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

She hurriedly dug out the herbs and bandages from the package, her hands shaking uncontrollably. "Xiaoxuan, come on, help me find a stone to crush these herbs." Lin Ruoxue said as she quickly tore the hem of her clothes, trying to make a cleaner strip of cloth.

Xiaoxuan hurriedly picked up a stone and began to pound the herbs. "Master, can these herbs really save Brother Bai?" Xiaoxuan asked in a tearful voice, her eyes never leaving Bai Zixuan's pale face.

Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Yes, Xiaoxuan, I can do it." Although she said this, she was very worried in her heart. She looked at the shocking wounds on Bai Zixuan's body, some of which were still bleeding, and her heart ached.

Lin Ruoxue gently untied Bai Zixuan's bloodstained clothes and saw that the skin around the wound was already red and swollen, and some places were even starting to turn purple. Her heart sank suddenly. She carefully washed the wound with clean water, and every movement was gentle and cautious, for fear of hurting Bai Zixuan.

"Bai Zixuan, you must hold on." Lin Ruoxue said softly, as if she was talking to Bai Zixuan, or as if she was cheering herself up.

Xiaoxuan looked at Lin Ruoxue, tears welling up in her eyes. "Master, Brother Bai looks so miserable."

Lin Ruoxue reached out and touched Xiaoxuan's head. "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxuan. We have to believe that Brother Bai will get better." She picked up the pounded herbs and slowly applied them to Bai Zixuan's wound. The juice of the herbs dyed her fingers green and emitted a pungent smell.

While bandaging the wound, Lin Ruoxue's hands were shaking. She kept telling herself to stay calm, but the more she did so, the more her hands became uncontrollable. "Xiaoxuan, come and help Master tighten the bandage." Lin Ruoxue said.

Xiaoxuan hurried over and helped according to Lin Ruoxue's instructions. "Master, I will be careful."

After bandaging the wound, Lin Ruoxue sat aside, staring at Bai Zixuan closely. From time to time, she reached out to feel Bai Zixuan's breath, and only when she felt the faint breath did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoxuan, you stay here to look after Brother Bai. Master will go around and see if there is anything that can help him." Lin Ruoxue stood up and patted Xiaoxuan on the shoulder.

Xiaoxuan grabbed the corner of Lin Ruoxue's clothes. "Master, don't leave."

Lin Ruoxue squatted down and looked into Xiaoxuan's eyes. "Xiaoxuan, be good. Master will be back soon. We have to find a way to wake up Brother Bai." She gently pried Xiaoxuan's hands apart and turned to walk deeper into the woods.

Lin Ruoxue carefully observed the plants around her as she walked, hoping to find more effective herbs. Her heart was beating fast, and the scene of Bai Zixuan being injured kept appearing in her mind. Suddenly, she saw a familiar herb and was delighted. She hurried over and carefully picked the herb.

When Lin Ruoxue returned to Bai Zixuan, Xiaoxuan was waiting anxiously. "Master, you are back."

Lin Ruoxue nodded and checked Bai Zixuan's wound again. She found that the bandage she had used before had been partially soaked by blood, and her brows knitted tightly together. She treated Bai Zixuan's wound again and changed the herbs. Every action was filled with worry and hope.

The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves onto them, forming patches of light. But at this moment, Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan were not interested in these things. They only had one thought in their minds, which was to wake Bai Zixuan up as soon as possible. Occasionally, a few bird calls were heard in the forest, but they could not break the solemn atmosphere. Time passed by, Bai Zixuan was still unconscious, and Lin Ruoxue's heart was full of anxiety, but she knew that she could not give up.
