Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Don’t make a sound.” A deep male voice came from above. The voice was filled with killing intent. It was obvious that he was a person who lived on the edge of a knife.
Xu Qing didn’t want to cause trouble, so she nodded quickly. Moreover, this man clearly had something to ask of her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken her hostage.
“Go to town and buy me some hemostatic medicine. If you dare to escape, I’ll definitely kill you and your entire family.” The man said in a deep, bloodthirsty voice.
Killing intent flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. Not only did he threaten her, but he also dared to threaten her family. However, she still nodded calmly and slowly reached for her sleeves. Unfortunately, the man behind her was very vigilant and the knife in his hand approached Xu Qing’s neck again.
“What are you doing?” The man’s tone was filled with killing intent, as if he would kill Xu Qing immediately if her answer was suspicious.
Xu Qing was covered in cold sweat. She didn’t expect this man to be so vigilant, so she was a little shocked. She pretended to be afraid and trembled. “I… I have medicine in my clothes.”
“Huh?” The man sounded puzzled, and he was clearly out of breath.
“My father was injured when he went up the mountain to hunt. I went to buy medicine for my father, so I have it in my hand.” Xu Qing continued to tremble.
That person finally couldn’t take it anymore and fell. This made Xu Qing’s heart skip a beat.
“Give it to me.” The man panted hurriedly. Because he had lost too much blood, he couldn’t hold on anymore.
Xu Qing turned around while trembling and took out the hemostatic herbs from her pocket. She didn’t dare to poison him, since she was afraid that if she was too slow, she would be killed by this man first. Although this man was injured, he was clearly still vigilant.
After Xu Qing turned around, she saw that the man was wearing a golden mask. He was wearing black clothes that were clearly riddled with many holes. Blood kept seeping out. A sharp dagger was in his hand, and it was as if he would immediately slit her throat if she made a threatening move.
Xu Qing felt that this person probably ate a lot of pig liver. Otherwise, how could he still be alive after bleeding so much?
Xu Qing was thinking about how to escape later, but the man had already opened the paper bag of hemostatic medicine. He looked at Xu Qing coldly and bandaged his wound with difficulty.
“I… I can bandage it for you,” Xu Qing said timidly.
The man’s hand paused and killing intent flashed in his eyes. Xu Qing hurriedly said, “When I’m at home, I bandage my father’s wounds very often…”
The man seemed to accept this explanation and gestured for Xu Qing to do it. However, he was even more vigilant towards Xu Qing. This was because this woman, who looked like a village girl, not only carried good hemostatic medicine with her, but she also knew how to bandage wounds.
Xu Qing’s hands trembled because she realized that this man was very smart. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. She looked at his clothes, then pulled off some cloth from her pants to bandage him. However, this man was covered in wounds, as if he had been pricked by a hedgehog. She had torn off a large section of her pants, revealing her fair ankles.
The man looked at her feet and his eyes flickered. Then, he stared at Xu Qing’s hands.
Her hands were very agile and fair. She didn’t seem like a hard laborer and treated his wounds so well. This woman was definitely not an ordinary village girl. Should he kill her?
Xu Qing seemed to be able to sense the other party’s killing intent. Her hands trembled and she accidentally hurt the man.
The man frowned slightly and stared at Xu Qing. He realized that this woman was very interesting. She was not afraid of him at all! Her eyes were filled with shrewdness, but she feigned weakness and incompetence.
“Alright.” When Xu Qing looked up, she saw the man’s deep and cold gaze. Feeling like this man had seen through her, she hurriedly lowered her head.
Xu Qing was shocked, and Qiao Yanhui was about to go crazy.
Qiao Yanhui heard from Xu Sizhi that Xu Qing had gone back first, so he quickly returned to Anning Village. However, he realized that Xu Qing was not there at all. He went to town to look, but he still couldn’t find her. Qiao Yanhui’s expression was very gloomy. Where had that woman gone? There had been danger everywhere recently. What if…
At this moment, Xu Qing was quietly squatting beside this dangerous man who had lost too much blood. She hoped that he would let her go. Of course, she was also prepared to die with him if he made a move on her. She definitely couldn’t die in vain!
This dangerous man felt dizzy, as if he was about to pass out in the next second. No matter how effective the hemostatic medicine was, after bleeding so much, his body really couldn’t take it anymore.
He said in a low voice, “Leave.” This was the first time he had let a person who was a potential threat go. Perhaps it was because he still had a conscience, which was quite ridiculous to someone like him.
