Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?
Chapter 16: Still Not Stupid
After Ji Nuan's repairs and maintenance over the past few days, the wooden house at the bottom of the cliff has been completely renewed and can almost be called a small mountain villa.
Ji Nuan stood in front of the wooden house with satisfaction, her hands behind her back and a satisfied smile on her face.
The little white mink at her feet was looking at her with its round eyes without blinking.
"Does it look very different?" Ji Nuan bent down, picked up the little white mink and asked.
The little white mink said excitedly: "Woo woo..." Not bad, not bad. Now this place is not only suitable for people to live in, but also for minks.
Ji Nuan was amused by the cute appearance of the little white mink and gently poked its head. The little white mink also enjoyed this intimate interaction, squinting its eyes and making a satisfied "woooo" sound.
However, this pleasant atmosphere did not last long. A sudden sense of crisis made Ji Nuan's nerves tense in an instant.
She almost instinctively went into defense mode, her body quickly tensed up, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
At this moment, a humanoid object fell from above at an extremely fast speed. Ji Nuan jumped closer with a few leaps, and thick and flexible vines instantly grew out of his hands, wrapped around it and caught it steadily.
Ji Nuan put the man on the ground and quickly checked his pulse. Feeling a weak beat, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She carefully looked at the young man in front of her. He had long eyebrows and a handsome face. Even though his face was pale and his lips were colorless at this moment, it could not conceal his original handsomeness.
Lying on the ground, Song Jinbai used up his last bit of strength to open his eyes. He vaguely saw a figure and only had time to say, "Save... me..."
Ji Nuan moved him to the bed in the cabin and fed him a few drops of vital water. A quick inspection revealed that the man had six knife wounds and a broken arrow stuck in his chest. He was seriously injured and had lost a lot of blood.
"Tsk tsk, what a poor guy!" Ji Nuan shook her head and sighed.
In order to facilitate treatment, Ji Nuan ignored worldly etiquette and took off all his clothes without hesitation, leaving him only with a pair of pants.
Drinking the vitality water wouldn't cause any immediate problems, so he first addressed the still-bleeding knife wound. Ji Nuan cleaned the wound with diluted vitality water, sprinkled it with her own golden wound medicine, and bandaged it with cotton strips.
After treating all the knife wounds, Ji Nuan finally faced the most difficult arrow wound. Her expression became extremely solemn. She knew very well the complexity and danger of treating such wounds, and if she was not careful, it could cause more serious damage.
Ji Nuan looked at the small section of the arrow shaft exposed outside. She was completely unable to judge the shape of the arrowhead or the area of the wound. She could only determine that the arrowhead had deviated from the position of the heart.
After careful consideration, Ji Nuan decided it would be more appropriate to remove the arrowhead. She first carefully cleaned the area surrounding the wound, then sealed the painful spot with a silver needle. Then, she deftly used her dagger to cut through the muscle surrounding the arrow shaft. As the flesh peeled away, the outline of the arrowhead gradually emerged. Although the arrowhead had no barbs, the wound it had inflicted was unusually deep. Ji Nuan deftly removed the arrowhead, carefully cleaned the wound, and applied medicine and a bandage.
Ji Nuan straightened up and let out a breath. The little white mink came over and rubbed against her.
Ji Nuan looked down at its cute appearance and couldn't help laughing, as if all the fatigue she had just felt disappeared.
As time went by, a hint of color gradually returned to the man's face. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment. As far as he could see, a young girl was sitting at a table, whispering softly to a small white mink lying on the table. The scene was peaceful and unreal.
He clearly remembered being surrounded and intercepted by dozens of men in black at five o'clock last night. He was desperately protected by his ten secret guards and two bodyguards, fighting and retreating, but ultimately, some were killed or wounded, leaving him alone. He was forced to the edge of a cliff by several men in black, and faced with heavy siege, he fell off the cliff.
"Cough cough..." Song Jinbai tried to get up, but the slightest movement pulled his wound. He took several breaths in pain and could only cough twice to remind the people in the room that he was awake.
Ji Nuan noticed the moment Song Jinbai woke up. She pretended not to know until the coughing sounded. Then she asked softly, "Are you awake?"
Song Jinbai looked at the girl in front of him. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of lively peach blossom eyes on her fair face.
"who are you?"
Ji Nuan smiled slightly and said jokingly: "The one who saved you."
"Where is this?" Song Jinbai asked.
Ji Nuan temporarily named her territory "Taohua Creek."
"Taohua Creek?" Song Jinbai repeated, somewhat puzzled. He was certain that there was no place called Taohua Creek in Kaiyun Prefecture. Could it be that he was not within the territory of Kaiyun Prefecture?
Seeing that she looked worried, Ji Nuan said, "You are still seriously injured and shouldn't worry too much. I have made some medicine, drink it and have a good rest." After that, she got up and left the room.
Song Jinbai watched her go out, and then watched her come in with the bowl of medicine.
"It's inconvenient for you to get up now, so just use this bamboo tube to drink the medicine." Ji Nuan said as she sat on the edge of the bed and handed a thin bamboo tube to Song Jinbai's mouth.
Song Jinbai glanced at her, then drank the medicine in one breath by holding the bamboo tube in his mouth as he was told.
Seeing him drink the medicine so readily, Ji Nuan let out a playful smile, "Do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid I might tamper with the medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Song Jinbai simply said, "If you wanted to take my life, I'd probably be dead by now. Since I'm still alive, it means you have no intention of harming me."
"Well, I haven't fallen stupid yet!" Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again in the evening." Ji Nuan said, turned around and was about to leave. Before leaving, she reminded him, "If there is nothing important, don't get out of bed and walk around." After saying that, she really left.
As they were about to say goodbye to the little white mink in the forest, Ji Nuan retrieved a bowl of vitality water from her space and quietly watched the little white mink drink. Sitting nearby, she instructed, "Go to the cabin and check on that person later. I've planted vines between the cliff pillars. Make sure you hold on tight when you descend, or I won't be able to find the mink until nightfall."
The little white mink held the bowl and said, "Woo woo..." The water is so sweet, I want another bowl.
"What a greedy little ghost!" Ji Nuan teased with a smile, "I'll give you another bowl, can you drink it?"
Not far away, she heard a faint rustling sound in the bushes. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tiger cub cautiously poking its head out and making low "woooo, woooo" sounds at her, as if trying to express something.
"Jixiang, what is it calling? Can you understand?" Ji Nuan asked the little white mink with her head down.
"Woo woo..." It said its tiger father was missing.
Tiger Dad? Could it be the big tiger that fell into the blood wolf trap and was besieged a few days ago?
"Jixiang, let it come over here." Ji Nuan said.
The little white mink obediently acted as a translator and whimpered a few times to the tiger cub.
The little tiger cub slowly approached, howling non-stop.
"Auspicious?" Ji Nuan didn't understand at all.
"Woo woo..." It said that it had been wandering in the mountains and forests for several days and had not found its tiger father, so it was very hungry.
Ji Nuan took out a pheasant from the space and threw it to it.
The little tiger cub immediately pounced on it, sniffed it with its nose, and then couldn't wait to bite it one bite after another.
The baby without a father is so pitiful!
It would be very difficult for such a small tiger cub to survive without its protection. She also bears some responsibility for the tiger cub losing its tiger father, so she gave the tiger cub a bowl of vitality water, hoping to give it a better chance of survival.
The little tiger cub was full and hydrated, and kept calling "Awoo awoo" to Ji Nuan.
This time, the little white mink was able to wait for Ji Nuan's instructions and took the initiative to act as a translator: "Woo woo..." It wants to follow you.
Ji Nuan stroked the little tiger cub's head gently and said with a smile, "Can I kidnap you with just this little food?" The little tiger cub seemed to understand her joke. After eating the food she gave it, it rubbed her palm affectionately, as if to express gratitude and dependence.
"Since you are so willing to follow me, I will give you a name." Ji Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Jixiang Ruyi. I hope your future will be filled with good luck. You can be called 'Ruyi'." As she spoke, she continued to stroke Ruyi's fur, feeling somewhat addicted.
