"Mom, don't move. I'll go over and take a look." We are in the deep mountains and forests, so we still have to be vigilant.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you not go over there." Sun was a little worried.

"It's okay. We have more people." After saying that, he took out a dagger for self-defense and slowly approached the man on the ground.

Only when I got closer could I see clearly that it was a man. He was wearing a dark green brocade robe, had a slender figure, had several wounds on his body, and smelled strongly of blood. He was lying on the ground, breathing weakly, and I couldn't see his appearance clearly.

He must have just been unconscious for a short time, as he was not there when we went up the mountain. He was lucky because he smelled of blood. If he had been in the deep mountains, he would have been eaten by a large wild beast long ago.

Although she is not a kind person, she cannot just stand by and watch someone die.

The unconscious man was turned over. His body was covered in mud, with a vermilion jade belt around his waist. His high nose bridge and frowned brows. His angular face was like a sculpture. His thin lips were slightly parted, and no one knew what he was saying. Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart. What a monster! He was so handsome.

"Mom, this man is not dead. Let's get him down the mountain." Li Xiaoxiao shouted to Sun.

Mrs. Sun was just an ordinary peasant woman. She was scared when she saw the blood on the man's body, but she was also a kind person. Seeing her daughter wanted to save the man, she agreed.

The man was seriously injured. Li Xiaoxiao secretly stuffed a pill into his mouth. The pill would dissolve in water and would help save his heart first.

They found a tree trunk to make a stretcher and let the man lie on it. The three of them worked together to pull him down the mountain. Blood from the wound dripped onto the ground. Li Xiaoxiao covered it all up and also tore off a piece of the man's bloody clothes and hung it in the opposite direction. If someone came, they would probably chase in that direction.

Facing Sun's puzzled look, Li Xiaoxiao didn't explain too much. From the wound, it could be seen that this man was being hunted. He just hoped that those people would not come back to find him.

It took a lot of effort to get him down from the mountain, and it was already past noon.

After knocking on the door, Li Dahai came over soon. He opened the door and saw the man on the stretcher, asking what was going on.

After entering the house and settling the man down, Sun finally had time to tell Li Dahai. Li Dahai was not as simple as Sun, and he was worried after hearing it.

While Sun was out cooking, Li Dahai couldn't help but ask, "How is the little guy injured? Will there be any trouble?"

"His injury is not too serious. I'll go to the mountain to find some herbs to apply to him. There's no trouble for now. I'll ask him to leave when he wakes up." If it were someone else, he would probably just wait to die. But it was because he met her that he was destined not to die.

There were several wounds on his body, the most fatal one was on his waist. The wound was very deep and difficult to deal with. Li Xiaoxiao asked them all to go out, took out a scalpel and some surgical tools from the space, and gave him an injection of anesthetic, in case he woke up from the pain halfway through the operation, which would be troublesome.

He first cleaned the blood from the wound, applied disinfectant, and then carefully sutured the wound. The wound was twenty centimeters long. Most people would have died with such serious injuries, but he was able to hold on for so long.

After Li Xiaoxiao treated the wound, her original clothes could no longer be worn, so she found a set of Li Dahai's clothes. They were a little small, but they were fine for her to wear. She was a doctor and had seen countless naked men during her surgery. She wanted to change his clothes, but was sternly stopped by Li Dahai.

Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to obey. In ancient times, one had to be responsible for just touching hands, let alone changing clothes. It took Li Dahai a lot of effort to change his clothes.

"Dad, does he have any money on him?" Li Xiaoxiao asked as soon as he entered the room.

Li Dahai was confused for a moment. Why did he suddenly ask this? "No, there is only a jade pendant on my waist, and nothing else."

"Oh." Li Xiaoxiao said with a hint of disappointment.

After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao went to the mountain to pick some hemostatic herbs. The operation was very successful, but in ancient times, people could not hang intravenous drips, so they could only apply herbal compresses. She was afraid that Li Dahai would find out, so she wrapped the wound with gauze.

In ancient times, people did not use needles for suturing. It was too shocking and she didn't want anyone to know.

There were a lot of hemostatic herbs on the mountain. Li Xiaoxiao came back soon. The herbs were crushed and applied to him again. The anesthetic effect had not worn off yet. It was unknown when he would wake up. As long as he didn't have a fever, there would be no problem.

Sun was busy making a nest for the little rabbit. There was no rabbit cage at home. Fortunately, the rabbits were small, so she could just find a place for now. She could buy a rabbit cage next time she went to the county town.

Si Chengxu woke up slowly in the evening and found himself lying on the bed. He looked around and saw that the house was not big but very clean. He could hear voices faintly outside the window. The pain in his body told him that all this was real and he was not a dream. He was exhausted and fainted on the mountain, but he was rescued unexpectedly.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Li Xiaoxiao saw that the man on the bed had woken up.

Si Chengxu also saw her. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a heroic look between her eyebrows, bright eyes, white teeth, jade cheeks and cherry lips, long hair hanging down her shoulders, and was dressed in a pink coarse cloth dress. She was graceful and elegant.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Li Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes.

He took a few steps forward and said, "I was the one who saved you on the mountain. You must be the one who knows your injuries best. I don't care who you are. You will be able to walk in three days. Leave here then and don't cause me any trouble. From your clothes, I can tell that you are either rich or noble. I am a doctor. It is my duty to save the dying and the wounded, but I also need money to meet my daily needs, so you have to pay me the consultation fee, the meal fee, and the accommodation fee, a total of twenty taels."

After listening to her quietly, Si Chengxu nodded in understanding. He touched his body and then remembered that he didn't have the habit of carrying money with him. Besides, the clothes were not his and looked like Li Xiaoxiao's.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Li Xiaoxiao said, "Don't worry, my father changed your clothes for you."

I was surprised at Li Xiaoxiao's sharpness. What kind of family in a small mountain village could raise such a smart girl?

"I will pay you after I recover from my injury and will never cause you any trouble." Si Chengxu's voice was cold and low, with a hint of alienation.

Li Xiaoxiao knew that this person's identity was not simple, so she didn't ask too much. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

In the evening, Sun came to deliver food and Si Chengxu thanked her politely.

On the third day, she was able to get out of bed and walk. Si Chengxu knew that they were an ordinary village family and had a younger brother who studied in the county town.

During these three days, it was basically Sun and Li Dahai who brought him meals, because Li Xiaoxiao and Li Ruolan were both girls, and he was a foreigner, and it would be bad for their reputation if others knew about it.

He had only met Li Ruolan once. She was a quiet girl. But he had met Li Xiaoxiao, the one who saved him, several times. Every time she came to change his bandages, she was calm and collected, and had intelligence different from her peers.

Her medical skills were particularly superb. She had sutured the wounds on her waist and abdomen with needles. When he first saw her, he thought this girl was very bold and reckless, but he did not expect the effect to be so good. He could clearly feel that the wounds were healing quickly. The suture thread was even stranger, as it actually grew together with the skin and flesh.
