This Is Even Better Than Hua Tuo Himself
Jiang Yimian saw his excitement, his pale complexion suddenly becoming vibrant. She teasingly said, “So excited? Doesn’t your wound hurt anymore?
If I had known this, I would have told you earlier. This is even more amazing than Hua Tuo himself.”
Lu Cijian instantly clenched his fist, his weak voice filled with some apology. “Sorry, I completely forgot.”
Jiang Yimian just stared at the pale-faced man in front of her and deliberately said, “It’s okay, you were drunk. I’ll just consider it like being bitten by a dog.”
Lu Cijian was startled, the hand supporting the ground involuntarily tightened. The slight apprehension and nervousness in his heart instantly vanished. The words he was about to say were choked back.
In Mianmian’s eyes, was he the same as a dog?
He couldn’t tell if this explanation made him happy or sad.
He was happy that Mianmian didn’t seem to mind, and he could treat Mianmian the same as before without worrying about being disliked.
He was sad that Mianmian didn’t take it to heart at all.
Did that mean everything was just his wishful thinking?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, more painful than the torn wounds on his body.
Watching Lu Cijian’s face turn pale, his whole body slumped, as if he was about to faint the next second.
Jiang Yimian was somewhat amused and sighed softly. Reaching out, she hooked his neck, leaned over, and directly placed a kiss on the corner of his lips, smiling and saying, “This is a kiss.”
She was never one to overthink things. After realizing her feelings for Lu Cijian, she made up her mind to face this relationship.
After all, she had fallen for him. After being with Lu Cijian for so long, she knew he was a very, very good person.
In that case, why should she overthink it?
Lu Cijian froze in place, staring blankly at the person who was only two fists away from him, his gaze falling on her plump lips.
The soft touch that had been brief still seemed to linger on his lips. He felt that the wildly beating heart in his chest wasn’t his own.
Seeing that he seemed to have a brain freeze, Jiang Yimian smiled and said, “I’ll give you some anesthetic first.”
This time Lu Cijian didn’t refuse, just staring intently at the person in front of him, as if afraid that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Just like that dream.
Until he passed out, his mind was a mess. All he could think about was Mianmian kissing him. Was it real?
Seeing that he was unconscious, Jiang Yimian finally had time to carefully examine Lu Cijian’s wounds.
Almost his entire back was covered in wounds from various hidden weapons, a bloody mess. It was incredible that he could still talk to her so energetically, even managing to sit up.
If it were anyone else, they would have already passed out from excessive blood loss and gone into shock.
Jiang Yimian felt distressed, directly removing his shirt and taking out a scalpel and tweezers. Carefully, she began treating Lu Cijian’s wounds.
Apart from the three special hidden weapons which were somewhat difficult to handle, the rest were minor wounds of varying sizes, not too troublesome.
By the time all the wounds were treated, two hours had passed.
Jiang Yimian felt her body had become stiff. After moving her stiff body, she looked at Lu Cijian’s back.
Because of the numerous wounds, almost his entire upper body was bandaged with gauze.
There was a hideous scar on his exposed lower back, extending to his shoulder blade. Although she hadn’t seen him get injured, she could imagine how badly he had been hurt that time, undoubtedly a life-threatening situation.
She felt both heartache and curiosity about what Lu Cijian’s past life was like, why he had suffered so many injuries, including several fatal wounds.
Those wounds, if sustained by anyone else, would have been difficult to survive.
Just as she was thinking, she heard several familiar shouts from outside the space.
“Here, over here, there’s a corpse! Quickly check if Young Master and Jiang Girl are here!” Song Er shouted at everyone with red eyes, looking like he had been dragged out of a mud pit.
Covered in soot and with several abrasions, he looked exceptionally disheveled. The others were in a similar state.
Jiang Yimian glanced at the situation outside. Seeing that several stone slabs had shifted, causing one stone to crack and reveal a fairly large opening, she dressed Lu Cijian and left the space.
Instantly, the dark and narrow gap squeezed them together. Jiang Yimian put an arm around Lu Cijian and shouted outwards, “Song Er, we’re here, under the stone slabs!”
Those busy moving stones outside paused their actions, thinking they had experienced an illusion.
For the past two hours, they had been digging tirelessly through the rubble, almost excavating the entire cave. They had rescued many people, yet Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian hadn’t made a sound.
It terrified them, filled with self-blame and regret for failing to protect the Young Master and Jiang Girl.
It was because they were right in the center of the explosion and were buried at the very bottom. Thick layers of stones piled up, each layer they removed chilled them to the bone.
Especially seeing the corpses and bloodstains all over the ground, it made everyone’s legs go weak.
Song Er paused, questioning Wang Er, “Did you hear Jiang Girl’s voice?”
Wang Er nodded, wondering if they were experiencing hallucinations, when Jiang Yimian’s voice sounded again, “I’m under the stone slabs, Lu Cijian is injured, come quickly and save us!”
This shout was exceptionally clear, making everyone’s faces light up as they rushed towards the source of the sound.
Zhao Xiaonian and Wang Jinbao quickly got up from the ground and rushed to help.
Thankfully, this was not an illusion. Working together, they lifted the stone slabs and saw the unconscious man lying in Jiang Yimian’s arms.
Song Er was startled. Quickly reaching out to take Lu Cijian, he pulled Jiang Yimian out of the rubble and worriedly said, “Jiang Girl, what’s wrong with the Young Master? Is…is he still alive?”
Jiang Yimian simply said, “Don’t worry, he’s not in mortal danger. I’ve stopped the bleeding.”
As long as the wound doesn’t get infected in the next few days and he rests in bed, with Lu Cijian’s strong physique, he should recover quickly.
Song Er breathed a sigh of relief and immediately had Lu Cijian carried down the mountain. However, he noticed Jiang Yimian frowning at the scattered stones.
He quickly said, “Jiang Girl, don’t worry, almost everyone buried in this cave has been rescued. Except for those who were directly hit by the explosion and turned to mush, everyone else is just injured and still breathing.
As for the other collapsed mines, we are also trying our best to find survivors, ensuring we don’t miss a single living person.”
Jiang Yimian nodded, looking around and quickly asking, “Where’s my father? How is he?”
Jiang Dazhuang was badly injured. If he didn’t receive timely treatment, something might happen.
Song Er quickly replied, “Jiang Girl, don’t worry, Uncle Jiang has been taken down the mountain. There’s a doctor at the foot of the mountain to treat him. He should be out of mortal danger now, but he’s still unconscious because of his severe injuries.”
Jiang Yimian finally breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing more, and headed straight down the mountain.
