Seeing that Qin Silong was not easily getting defeated, the masked man grew even more enraged. In a desperate move, one of them raised a knife and viciously stabbed it towards Qin Silong’s back.
Undeterred, Qin Silong was determined to deal with the remaining three attackers. As he got up, he prepared to confront them, but suddenly, one of the assailants swiftly moved in and pressed down on Qin Silong’s back, forcefully driving the sharp knife deep into his body.
A horrified scream escaped Su Ping’s lips as he witnessed the deadly attack. The sight of this violent act caused the other masked men to panic, and they quickly fled the scene.
Qin Silong’s expression turned grim as he felt the knife lodged in his back. The blade had penetrated deeply, leaving him in excruciating pain and dire circumstances.
His clothes were stained with blood.
Pale, he tried his best to bear the pain.
Qin Zhenzhen had just run out of the woods when she heard the scream. She rushed back.
It was morning, and the road was very remote.Tthere were no villagers to be seen.
“Zhenzhen, he is injured, the wound is deep…”
Qin Silong had no idea what to do.
The knife had struck a dangerous position, right near his heart. Despite the wound being on his back, its depth posed a severe risk, potentially affecting his heart.
The situation was critical, and removing the knife without proper treatment could be fatal. If the knife was pulled out, it could result in uncontrollable bleeding, leading to his death.
Despite having experienced life and death situations on the battlefield, Qin Silong felt utterly helpless in this moment of crisis.
Realizing the gravity of his condition, he understood that he might not survive.
Gazing at Qin Zhenzhen, he managed to speak intermittently, “Third Sister-in-law, I had intended to come to your home and ask you to accompany my Third Brother to the prefecture for the examination. But I never imagined that things would turn out like this…”
Qin Zhenzhen saw the knife stuck in his back and stopped him.
“Don’t talk now!”
But he did not listen to her. “If I don’t tell you now, I might not have the chance
to…”
“Can you promise me not to divorce my third brother and leave my brother and sister alone?”
Qin Zhenzhen was annoyed. “What are you talking about? You won’t die!” If she didn’t have the spiritual water on her finger, she wouldn’t have dared to make such a statement.
Knowing that as long as his internal organs weren’t affected, she could use the spiritual water to stop the bleeding and heal his wound, she felt confident in her ability to save him.
Observing his ability to talk, she deduced that his heart wasn’t injured, which was a stroke of luck.
Yet, despite the potential hope, Qin Silong shook his head with a sense of resignation. “I don’t think I’ll make it to the doctor. Before I pass, I need to hear your promise to accompany my brother for the examination…”
“My Third Brother said that you have a pair of eyes that can turn misfortune into fortune…
Su Ping’s voice got smaller and smaller, and his face turned paler.
Qin Silong felt very uncomfortable.
He had once envisioned seeking revenge against his brother, but now he found himself faced with the reality of dying for him.
In this critical moment, Qin Zhenzhen made a resolute decision, instructing
Qin Silong with determination, “Fourth Brother, go to the field and fetch some Malabar plums to stop the bleeding. I will remove the knife for him.”
However, Qin Silong disagreed, concerned that removing the knife could worsen the situation and cause more bleeding. He suggested urgently, “No, we can’t risk it. Let’s take him to the doctor in town!”
Unyielding, Qin Zhenzhen raised her voice, insisting, “Fourth Brother, please listen to me. I truly believe I can treat his wounds! It’s too late to get him to town now. You must go and find the Malabar plum that can stop the bleeding!”
She had a hidden secret; she possessed the spirit water, but she didn’t want Qin Silong to suspect her true identity as a monster. To protect him, she had to drive him away so she could handle the situation herself.
Seeing Qin Zhenzhen’s determined look, Qin Silong went out to find the
Malabar plum.
Well, she was going to try her best..
