Chapter 1886: Saving a Person

“Ow… It hurts… Am I really going to die here…” A man’s weak voice could be heard from the small alley at the side. Ordinary people not able to hear such a weak voice. However, with Qiao Mei’s current ability, her ears and eyes were now much more sensitive than before. She immediately caught the sound of this man groaning in pain.
Using the plants in the small alley, Qiao Mei could see the man’s appearance and the wounds on his body. The man was very seriously injured. His abdomen, thighs and ribs had all been slashed with a knife and his calf bone was fractured. If no one went forward to save him, he would bleed to death in less than 20 minutes.
“l think there’s an injured person near us,” Qiao Mei said.
“Really? But I didn’t hear anyone calling for help? Alice, did you hear anyone calling for help?” Xia He asked.
Alice quickly stopped them and said, “l don’t hear anything, but even if you do, don’t go! These people are all very dangerous and they are like wolves! They’re all ruthless and unscrupulous! If you save them, they won’t be grateful to you. They might even find you and kill you to silence you!’
When Xia He heard what Alice said, she quickly turned around to dissuade Qiao Mei, saying nervously, “Let’s ignore it. It’s more important to protect ourselves first.’
“Xia He, can you leave a person in the lurch? If we don’t save him, he’s going to die soon!” Qiao Mei asked.
Xia He fell silent. It was against the Xia family rules to leave someone in the lurch. Even if the person was evil beyond redemption, they could not leave him unsaved because of his crime. If he was guilty, they should send him to the police station to be punished. There would be professionals there to interrogate him. They had no right to decide whether that person lived or died.
“Alright, then let’s go and take a look. But if that person wants to do anything bad to you, I’ll definitely kill him!” Xia He said.
“Let’s go.” Qiao Mei and Xia He split up to look for the small alley along the street. The alleys here were intersected and complicated, and one could get lost if one was not careful. Even though Qiao Mei knew where that person was, it would still take a while for her to reach him. As Qiao Mei followed the direction of the voice, she found the man in the end. He looked the same as what she had seen using the plants, though his injuries looked even more serious in person.
The man looked at her warily. One look and she could tell that he was a ruthless person who had been living this life for a long time. He silently placed his hand behind his back and tightened his grip on his dagger.
“You don’t have to be so vigilant. You can put down what you’re holding. I’m here to save you,” Qiao Mei said as she stood outside the alley.
“Save me? Are you a doctor?” the man asked weakly.
“l guess you can say that,” Qiao Mei replied.
“What… what do you want from me?” the man asked again.
“l don’t want anything. I just don’t want to see anyone die in front of me,” Qiao Mei said resignedly.
The man looked at Qiao Mei and noted that she seemed very sincere. Furthermore, from the way she walked and the weight of her steps, she did not look like a martial arts practitioner. He whispered, “Take out everything from your pockets.”
“My pockets are just full of bandages and medical tape.” Qiao Mei took out everything from her pockets to show the man.
The man still felt that it was not safe enough and continued, “Take off your jacket and turn in a circle.”
The corners of Qiao Mei’s mouth twitched slightly. She did not expect this man to be so talkative and demanding even when he was about to die. However, in order to save him, Qiao Mei still did what he asked.
Seeing that Qiao Mei did not have any hidden weapons or pose any threat to him, the man nodded slightly and gestured for Qiao Mei to go over.
Qiao Mei slowly walked over and squatted opposite the man. She did not bring the bottle of 10,000-year-old ginseng juice today and only had the ordinary 100-year-old ginseng juice with her. It could stop his bleeding and heal the wound a little but it could not completely cure him.
When Xia He saw that Qiao Mei had disappeared from her sight, she ran over immediately. When the man heard Xia He’s footsteps, he quickly used all his remaining strength to put a knife at Qiao Mei’s throat.
“Stop! What are you doing!” Xia He said agitatedly.
“Don’t come over… Otherwise… cough cough cough… I’ll kill her!” the man said fiercely.
“It’s alright. She’s my friend and she’s not a threat to you. You can let go of me now. Your wound must be treated immediately, otherwise you’ll bleed to death,” Qiao Mei said calmly..
