Chapter 4: Deciding To Save Chen Mo
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were mulberry branches in the back of the mountain. As long as they were picked and soaked in medicine, the roots would be removed after a few days of drinking. Xia Wan did not know much about medicine when she was young and treated all the herbs in the back mountain as weeds. Now that she thought about it, it was really a waste. As long as she looked carefully, she might find other herbs that could help her family earn some money.
Thinking of this, Xia Wan walked even faster, looking for the position of the mulberry branch in her memory.
After walking for a while, there was a sudden smell of blood in the air. Xia Wan immediately straightened her body and followed the smell of blood to the wild grass in front of her.
A man in a suit with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes was curled up on the ground with a pained expression. Although only half of his face could be seen, she could still tell that the other party was very handsome.
Xia Wan’s intuition told her that the man in front of her was not an ordinary person. If she saved him, there would be a lot of trouble. However, as a doctor, she could not just watch a patient die in front of her.
Just as Xia Wan was about to step forward to check on the situation, someone grabbed her wrist. The man turned over, and she was directly pinned under him.
With eyes full of vigilance, he obviously thought Xia Wan was a villain. Xia Wan’s body reacted faster than her brain, and she directly kicked the man’s wound.
“Oww!!!” The man cried out in pain and immediately loosened his grip on Xia Wan.
Xia Wan took the opportunity to break free. The knife in her hand was on the man’s neck. If she used a little force, the man would be dead.
“Don’t move. I don’t mean to hurt you. I’m here to save you.”
When Xia Wan finished speaking, she realized that the man in front of her was extremely familiar. It was none other than Chen Mo, the man who had mistaken Xia Bing for his savior and even got engaged to her.
Xia Wan’s expression was complicated.
She did not expect Chen Mo to have come to the village at this point in time in his previous life, and he had even been injured.
If she had not come today, someone else would have come and saved Chen Mo instead.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Wan still decided to save him. After all, Chen Mo had helped her many times in her previous life. When she was kidnapped, he was the one who met her by chance and saved her When she was accidentally involved in the robbery, and he was the one who rescued her. Even if he had mistaken her for someone else, it was only because Xia Bing had somehow hidden the truth.
The misunderstanding between them notwithstanding, Chen Mo was still a kind and upright person.
“I’m here to check on your wound. Relax a little.” Xia Wan put her thoughts aside and started to examine Chen Mo’s wound.
Chen Mo looked at the fair and beautiful girl in front of him and was slightly surprised. He did not expect that there would be such a beautiful girl in this mountain village.
He quickly let his guard down. For some reason, he subconsciously felt close to this girl.
Xia Wan lifted his clothes. There was a wound on the man’s abdomen that was simply bandaged, but blood was seeping out from the inside. It was obvious that the bleeding had not been properly stopped.
“You wait here. I’ll go find some medicine.”
As she spoke, Xia Wan stood up. There were herbs that could stop bleeding nearby. She would grind them with a stone, tear off Chen Mo’s clothes, then bandage his wound again. Once the bleeding stopped, she would send Chen Mo to the village. Someone should probably come to pick him up.
He looked at her back as she left, and his eyes were filled with doubt.
“She looks like a teenager, and she must’ve grown up in the village. Could she really know about medicinal herbs?”
Chen Mo could not be blamed for being suspicious. According to the current conditions, it was difficult enough for a woman who grew up in a village to be able to study in a school. There was not even one in ten villages who knew medical skills.
He didn’t stay puzzled for too long, for soon, Xia Wan came to Chen Mo’s side with the ground herbs. She removed the cloth that was wrapped around him, wiped it briefly, and applied the medicinal herbs. She raised the knife in her hand and cut off a piece of his clothes, then bandaged his wound again.
She had also cut the inner layer of his clothing. A part of his waist was exposed, and his face was a little red.
“Miss, aren’t you… s little too bold?”
If it weren’t for the sincerity in her eyes, he would have suspected that this woman was trying to take advantage of him.
After all, countless women had pursued him since he was young, and they had used all kinds of means to attract his attention.
Hearing this, Xia Wan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Have you heard that there’s no gender in a doctor’s eyes? In my eyes, you’re a patient. All I have to do is to treat you the best I can. That’s all.”
“Plus, aren’t you being a little too much of a narcissist?” Xia Wan continued. What makes you think that you can attract my attention in the sorry state you’re in?”
