The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

She couldn't say that she was Qi Yu's girlfriend.

In Huai Village, she is a goddess.

Not to mention whether Zhao Li would believe him, given his defensive attitude towards her at the moment, it might even provoke him to take action.

"If I wanted to hurt you, why would I have saved you just now? I don't know any martial arts, let alone know you."

Song Nian mustered up his courage, stared closely into his eyes, and tried to dodge in time if he really attacked.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Li quickly covered her wrist with his other hand and confirmed that she had no internal strength before putting down the dagger.

"That's a coincidence. How could a girl like you be here in such a desolate place, so late at night?"

Zhao Li has recovered some of his internal strength. If it weren't for his leg injury, he would have been able to walk freely.

Seeing that Song Nian's eyes were pure and clear, apart from the hint of joy she showed when he deliberately proposed Qi Yu just now, there was no other sneaky look in her eyes. He concluded that this girl recognized Qi Yu, but would not hurt him.

"I...I was looking for someone and got lost."

She wanted to go into the village to find Qi Yu, she didn't lie.

"Who are you looking for? In other words, who are you...to Qi Yu?"

Why are you mentioning Qi Yu again?

Seeing that he would not give up until he got the answer, Song Nian plucked up the courage to look him in the face.

Seeing his brows furrowed slightly, as if he cared deeply about Qi Yu, she sighed inwardly. The ancients were indeed very loyal and righteous. He was so alert just because he knew those two words. If Zhao Li didn't care about brotherhood, why would he be like this?

"I am someone who will not harm anyone even if the whole world betrays him."

Song Nian didn't say anything else and pointed at his leg injury. "It's still bleeding. If you don't get treatment in time, you'll lose too much blood. The worst thing you'll end up with is a coma, but the worst thing you'll end up with is a crippled leg. You'd better get treatment now."

"It'd better be as you say, otherwise, even if my legs are broken, I will kill you!"

After looking at Song Nian carefully for a few times, Zhao Li made a harsh remark and tried to get up. Unfortunately, although the arrow did not penetrate his leg, it made it impossible for him to walk safely. He staggered and fell heavily to the ground.

"Auntie, can you help me?"

Hearing his embarrassing words, Song Nian couldn't help but laugh.

Wasn't that quite impressive just now?

After all, he is my boyfriend’s good friend.

"I really don't know any medical skills. I only know some first aid knowledge. I don't know if I can help you."

Seeing Song Nian so calm, Zhao Li cursed himself for being rude. He bowed to her for the third time and said, "It was Zhao Li who was reckless. I just insulted you with my words. You are magnanimous and did not hold it against me. Please help me."

"Look for a piece of rope or tear off some clothes to make a strip of cloth and tie it tightly around the leg three inches above where the arrow hit it."

Song Nian said calmly, "I see there are other medicines in your cuffs. Do you have any wound medicine?"

Zhao Li looked around. Where could he find a rope at this time?

He exerted force and heard a few ripping sounds. He tore off two pieces of cloth and tied them tightly around his legs as Song Nian had instructed.

"Have."

He took out the medicine from his sleeve.

Song Nian gritted his teeth and stepped forward bravely, "I'll help you take out the arrow later. You should immediately apply medicine to stop the bleeding and then bandage it with a cloth strip."

Zhao Li didn't expect that the girl who was obviously scared to death could be so calm at this moment. He didn't say anything and nodded to indicate that it was okay.

Song Nian didn't dare to look, but she had to. After taking a few deep breaths, she shouted, "Bear with the pain."

A muffled groan echoed in my ears, followed by the sound of a sharp weapon cutting flesh, and the next moment, blood splattered everywhere.

Zhao Li stretched out one hand to shield her face from the blood, and with the other hand he immediately sprinkled medicine on the wound.

There was such a big bloody hole, but he only groaned.

Song Nian admires the courage and bravery of the ancients.

As if infected, she snatched the cloth from his hand and bandaged the wound.

"Wait for me here."

Seeing her start to leave, Zhao Li had no time to stop her and could only say to her from behind: "Miss, be careful."

Song Nian didn't even think about it, and his thin body went into the woods nearby.

Zhao Li was sure that he had never seen Song Nian in Huai Village.

It was because the girl was so beautiful and had very fair skin. He would never forget such a striking woman once he had seen her.

But I always feel like I have seen it somewhere.

Soon, Song Nian came back. She was holding a very thick tree trunk and dragging it with great difficulty.

"No, don't move. I can do it."

Seeing Zhao Li moving his broken body to help, Song Nian hurriedly stopped him.

By the time she dragged the tree trunk over, sweating profusely, she was already panting with exhaustion.

"I was trying to find a piece of wood, but I couldn't find any. So, you can just use your knife to split it in two, is that okay?"

Zhao Li heard this, grabbed his machete, and with two swishes, split the wooden stake into three pieces. He took the flat middle piece and handed it to Song Nian. "Is this what you want, young lady?"

Song Nian was dumbfounded.

It's not just the action of unsheathing the sword he just now.

And smart IQ.

No wonder the ancients were able to make such exquisite objects without any electrical appliances or professional equipment. They were truly extremely smart.

"Such a large wound won't work if you just stop the bleeding. I assume you're still on your way, and if you insist on walking, your leg will be crippled. I'll put a wooden board under your leg to hold it in place. Although it will make walking more difficult, it won't put any pressure on your broken leg and prevent it from being injured again. I can't completely heal you, but at least I can guarantee you won't become crippled."

Zhao Li understood what Song Nian said and tore off a few more pieces of the hem, tearing them into long strips and handing them to her. Seeing her professional bandage and her sensible words, Zhao Li bowed his hands in thanks for the fourth time.

"Zhao Li thanks the young lady for saving his life."

"You fell in front of me, I can't just stand there and watch you die. But this is all I can do for you."

After bandaging him, Zhao Li helped him stand up. He chopped the remaining wooden stake with a few more strokes, making it narrower and thinner so that it could be used as a crutch temporarily.

But the road ahead was long and the village, although visible, was very far away. It would be very difficult for him to walk there to get help.

"The girl just said that she was going to look for someone. Where were she going? Or was it the Northwest Military Camp?" Zhao Li asked.

Song Nian's heart instantly rose to his throat.

It was obvious that the rough man had guessed her identity.

"Don't worry, young lady. I recognized you from Qi Yu's treasured portrait."

After hearing this, Song Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a picture came to her mind: Qi Yu was sitting in the tent, holding her photo and grinning foolishly.

"I was on my way to the Northwest Military Camp to look for Qi Yu, so I encountered an ambush on the way. Since we have the same goal, let's go together."

Although he can't use one of his legs, at least he knows martial arts and can protect the people Qi Yu cares about most.

"it is good."

Song Nian didn't say much. He supported him and the two of them walked towards the distant village.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Li felt that the girl next to him was running out of strength. Only then did he realize that her face was terribly pale and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"I see some fruits over there, wait a minute, girl, I'll pick some to quench your thirst."

He had brought a water bottle with him when he left, but he was attacked on the way and the water bottle was nowhere to be found. The surroundings were dry and there was no water source. He was a martial artist and a tough guy, so how could he handle it with a girl?

But what Zhao Li didn't know was that just as he entered the deep forest and found a fruit tree, Song Nian, who was waiting for him there, had disappeared...
