They had been saving food a few days ago, causing the two of them to barely not be hungry. Until now, the oppressive feeling from a few days ago surged over like a tide. Chen Jie leaned weakly against Su Yun, looking weak.
Su Yun, who was beside her, had already become Chen Jie’s only support. She also gradually realized that this was not an otherworldly pure land like the Garden of Eden, but a prison without iron cages.
“Su Yun, do you think we can really get out…?” Chen Jie’s voice was filled with despair, and her voice was very weak.
Upon hearing that, Su Yun looked up at the darkness above him in a daze.
However, he still replied like before, “Yes, we will definitely get out.” This time, the light in Su Yun’s eyes had already begun to dim. Perhaps Su Yun no longer had full confidence in his words.
Chen Jie’s body was completely stuck to Su Yun’s body. She closed her eyes in a daze, making Su Yun quickly realize that something was wrong. When he accidentally touched Chen Jie’s cheek, he realized the problem. “Chen Jie, Chen Jie, you have a fever!”
Su Yun touched Chen Jie’s forehead nervously. The hot touch made him worry. Chen Jie was already in a daze and did not respond anymore. This was clearly a
high fever reaction caused by the inflammation of her wound.
Su Yun quickly stood up. Ignoring the intense pain in his right hand, he gritted his teeth and carried Chen Jie, gently placing her in the tent. Then, he picked up a piece of clothing and tore off the cloth. After soaking it in cold water, he placed it on Chen Jie’s forehead.
Chen Jie’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly, as if this cold piece of cloth had brought her some relief. Su Yun did not know how long he had been sitting beside Chen Jie, nor did he know how many times he had changed the cloth during this period.
It was only when Chen Jie opened her eyes in a daze that Su Yun finally relaxed a little. He gently touched Chen Jie’s forehead. At this moment, Chen Jie was still in a high fever. However, they did not have any means to resolve this problem. This made Su Yun have no choice but to place his hopes on the thirteen golden needles he had obtained from Divine Doctor Lü.
“Chen Jie, your wound has worsened and caused a high fever. If this continues, you’ll die. Your wound can’t be treated here. I can only try my best to relieve your symptoms through acupuncture!”
Su Yun opened the exquisite wooden box beside him. Thirteen golden needles lay quietly in the wooden box. Chen Jie only felt a splitting headache. She could only nod weakly and not say a word. Su Yun slowly helped Chen Jie up. Then, after a few seconds of silence, he said, “Pardon me.’
Su Yun sat behind Chen Jie and gently took off her clothes. Her smooth and fair back was exposed in front of Su Yun. In her daze, Chen Jie could only bite her lip and lower her head.
Su Yun let out a deep breath. Under such circumstances, he had no distracting thoughts. Only the various acupoint diagrams that Doctor Lü had once described appeared in his mind. Soon, he skillfully injected acupuncture into Chen Jie. Chen Jie’s expression finally did not look as painful.
However, this could only delay the deterioration. If the root cause was not resolved, Chen Jie would only suffer more and more. The last golden needle slowly pierced into Chen Jie’s acupuncture point. She also moaned slightly from the pain.
Su Yun tried his best to control his right arm, which was trembling from the worsening of the wound. The pain had turned into numbness. “Chen Jie, are you feeling better?”
Su Yun’s voice entered Chen Jie’s ears. After a while, Chen Jie finally responded. “Much better… Thank you…”
A moment later, Su Yun retracted the golden needle. After covering Chen Jie with her clothes, he strode out of the tent. Although Chen Jie seemed to be in a better state than before, Su Yun was still very anxious.
Acupuncture could only relieve her, but it could not solve the problem at all. The high fever was caused by the serious infection of the wound, but they did not have the conditions to treat the wound at all.
This was only the beginning. After the high fever, the wound that could not be treated for a long time would only cause more serious sepsis. This made Su Yun burn with anxiety. He also realized that they did not have much time left. It was no longer as generous as before!
Chen Jie’s weak face was a little shy. She put on her clothes silently and staggered out. When she saw Su Yun, he was picking up a wooden saber and preparing to continue training. However, Chen Jie also noticed that Su Yun’s right hand was constantly trembling. Furthermore, blood kept seeping out of the gauze and began to drip from his fingertips.
“Su Yun! Su Yun!” Chen Jie forced herself to come to Su Yun’s side. She grabbed Su Yun’s left hand and snatched the wooden saber from his hand. “Your right hand has already begun to become infected and worse. Do you still want to tear your wound? Do you want to die?!”
Chen Jie looked at Su Yun with eyes filled with worry. The emotions that she had accumulated for many days were revealed at this moment. She did not know what Su Yun had been doing for the past few days. He repeated his training day after day, but there were no changes..
