Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Where is the person? Why haven’t they shown up? Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Where is the person? Why haven’t they shown up? With that thought, she raised her hand, swiftly plucked a few bamboo sticks from her hair, and jabbed them into a few major acupoints on Ya Molian’s body.
Currently, she didn’t have any medicinal herbs at hand. All she could do was to use acupuncture to temporarily suppress the poison. Moreover, even if she had the necessary medicine, given her current lack of resources and Ya Molian’s severe poisoning condition, it would be impossible to cure him quickly.
After all, she was still adjusting to this world, and the vast and profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was so intricate!
After a while, the black aura on Ya Molian’s face slowly faded, and his lips regained their red hue, despite being a bit pale. This was a consequence of the pain he had endured, leading to blood stagnation.
A few days of recuperation would set it right.
However, the poison was still within him and could potentially strike at any moment.
In the end, Lin Caisang looked at the furnishings in the bamboo house, which Ya Molian had made a mess of. This was, after all, the deep forest, and who knew whether, in his unconscious state, a wild animal might suddenly leap out and snatch away the man she had just managed to save?
Anyway, he was still unconscious and not going to wake up anytime soon.
With that, she dragged him into the Jewel Space, shut the bamboo house’s door tight, put on her bamboo basket, and left.
When Zhe Jue and Zhe Xi were sure that Lin Caisang had gone far and wouldn’t be back, they entered the bamboo house, but there was no trace of Ya Molian.
“Where is he? Zhe Jue, where is he? How did he disappear?”
Zhe Xi spun around on the spot, gazing at the disarray on the ground but failing to spot the person they were eager to see. Her eyes flared in vermilion as she questioned Zhe Jue.
She was sure that Lin Caisang had left alone, carrying nothing but her bamboo basket. She would not possibly be able to take a person with her, but now, the person who should have been unconscious had vanished!
Could she have stuffed him into the bamboo basket and carried him away?
Zhe Jue’s eyes swept across the empty bamboo house as he calmly suggested.
Where else could he be apart from having left? The bamboo house was in plain sight and could not possibly hide a person. If he didn’t leave, then what other possibility was there?
“Now that he’s gone, we should leave too.”
“Dammit, who exactly is that woman? I must find out! I must find out!!!” Zhe Xi angrily punched a nearby pillar, her teeth clenching in frustration.
Just when she thought she was about to achieve her goal, he vanished out of the blue. How could she not be furious?
“Zhe Xi, don’t forget who you are!” Zhe Jue repeated his previous warning.
Zhe Xi was seething with anger, but she was powerless against Zhe Jue.
She hated her status. What was so wrong about it? Was that woman somehow superior? She was nothing more than a country bumpkin!
That country bumpkin had ruined her plans. Was she supposed to let her off the hook so easily?
“If you keep bickering, we won’t make it in time!”
With that, she turned around and strode off in vexation.
Who was the one rambling? Was it him?
This woman was out of her mind. He failed to understand why the Palace Master had arranged for them to be on the same mission. He would rather brave the dangers alone than be accompanied by a woman who nauseated him on a whim.
Nevertheless, he had no choice. The Palace Master’s orders were paramount. He could not defy them.
With a helpless sigh, he followed her out.
Not far from Ya Village, it was noon, and no one was in the fields. Everyone had gone home.
