He was a very young boy, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and was rather thin. No wonder he was able to run into this small cave.

Rong Su took two steps closer and could now clearly smell the blood coming from him.

Because I was so frightened just now, I forgot to feel the smell in the air.

At the same time, I also felt that he seemed to be seriously injured and in danger, and even his breathing was much lighter.

"Is he the person I'm looking for?" Rong Su lowered her voice and asked the reader.

After a while, the reader replied to her.

[This is the person the host is looking for]

Seeing that it was the person he was looking for,

Su breathed a sigh of relief, walked over naturally, squatted down and started to take Aku's pulse.

Xiaozhu began to feel confused and couldn't help but ask about Rong Sulai.

If this person isn't Aku, does the host intend to watch him die without helping him?

Suddenly, she saw a reader pop up in front of her. Rong Su felt a little disgusted, thinking that it was interfering with her work, but after seeing the question on it, Rong Su took a look and continued to lower her head to treat the person's injury.

At the same time, he also whispered back to Xiaozhu's words, his tone cold and ruthless.

"If not, then naturally I won't save him. Why should I waste my time? If the person I'm looking for dies because I saved someone else, then my mission will fail, and it will also affect my leveling up."

There was a moment of silence. Xiao Zhu did not respond to Rong Su, but fell into silent thought. He actually came up with a strange idea: why is this host more like a machine than them?

The reader also agreed with Xiaozhu's idea. In the void space, a confusing code emerged, which was a confusion that Rongsu could not analyze.

Rong Su naturally didn't know what Xiaozhu and the reader were thinking. She was now very serious about treating Aku's injuries and using a needle to force the poison out of him.

Fortunately, I had made all the necessary preparations beforehand, otherwise I would be caught off guard even if I really found the person now.

I had long guessed that Aku's poison would be something I had never seen before, but I didn't expect it to be such a strange poison.

This poison is more secretive than the Gu poison, as if it was specially made by a master poison maker. Now Aku's pulse is chaotic and carries a heavy amount of blood stasis, which has caused serious damage to his vitality.

He must take medicine to stabilize his pulse and force out the poison at the same time, otherwise he will die in less than two quarters of an hour.

He took out the prepared medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a light yellow pill, and stuffed it into Akuna's dark blue lips.

Seeing that he had kept his mouth tightly shut, Rong Su pinched a silver needle and pierced one of his acupuncture points. He immediately opened his mouth obediently. Seeing this, she immediately threw the pill in.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Aku swallowed it subconsciously. Rong Su curled the corners of his mouth in relief when he saw this.

Then use silver needles to force out the poison.

After working for a while, I finally helped him to drain some of the toxins out of his body.

A large amount of black blood flowed out from a needle hole on his arm. When the blood turned from black to red, she gave him an injection to stop the bleeding.

At this time, the person who was originally in a daze showed signs of waking up.

Seeing that he had regained some consciousness, Rong Su looked down at Aku and asked softly, "Awake?"

Aku opened his eyes and regained consciousness after a while. Finally, through the dim light of the lamp, he could see the person in front of him. It was a woman with elegant and pretty appearance and a cold expression.

But how could such a beautiful woman exist in this desolate mountainous area? She thought she was hallucinating due to poisoning and subconsciously asked Rong Su, "Is it a mountain spirit? Or a Lonely Mountain ghost?"

Hearing this, Rong Su's mouth twitched slightly. She was so angry at the young man in front of her who seemed to be still confused that she laughed and spoke in a bad mood.

"I never thought that my appearance could one day be mistaken for a goblin or a ghost."

Now, after hearing Rong Su's unpleasant words, Aku suddenly became completely sober.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Aku looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, young lady. I was a little confused and offended you."

After saying this, he lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake and felt wronged, and didn't dare to look up at her again. However, his face was still pale, and under the light, he looked particularly fragile and pitiful, as if she was bullying him.

Rong Su let out a breath, wiped the silver needle clean and put it away, then changed the subject.

"My name is Rong Su. Why are you here? What's your name?"

Aku noticed that Rong Su didn't seem to want to blame him, and he felt guilty and a little uneasy, but when he heard her question, he answered honestly.

"I don't have a last name, but everyone calls me Aku. I offended someone and was hunted down. The person who wanted to kill me had poisoned their weapon, and I accidentally got stabbed twice, so I got poisoned. As for why I ended up here, I was poisoned and unconscious, so I just found a random place to hide."

The weapon was coated with poison, no wonder his wound was black when I checked it just now.

After thinking about this, Rong Su was about to say something when he heard shouting outside the cave.

Aku also heard it and immediately became alert, looking ready to fight, staring outside the cave with cold eyes.

Seeing him like this, Rong Su spoke to comfort him: "Don't worry, those people are not your enemies. They are my friends. They must be looking for me."

"Your friend?" After hearing her words, Aku's face became less alert, but with a hint of doubt, he paused and asked, "Did you help me detoxify and heal my wounds?"

Did this guy just remember that she saved him now? Rong Su complained in her heart, but didn't show it on her face, and nodded.

"I'm a doctor. I came to this mountain to collect herbs. I didn't expect to find you here. Seeing that you were seriously injured and in critical condition, I gave you acupuncture in a hurry. I won't tell anyone about your situation here. You can rest assured."

Thinking that he was a wandering man who was seriously injured and was being hunted, he should be very afraid of revealing his whereabouts, so he quickly told the other party that he was harmless.

Sure enough, after hearing what Aku said, his eyes softened when he looked at her, at least not as sharp.

"My benefactor. Thank you for saving my life, but I am in this state now and cannot thank you for the time being. I will definitely repay you in the future."

As he spoke, Aku clung to the stone wall and climbed up with difficulty. It seemed that he was about to leave.

Rong Su frowned. Didn’t the reader say that this person would be very helpful in collecting information in the future? If that was the case, he couldn’t let him leave.

"Aku, my dear brother. I see you're much younger than me, so I call myself your elder sister. You're seriously injured. Although I gave you a simple bandage and removed some of the toxins, it's still difficult for you to leave this mountain. Not to mention that there might be enemies lurking nearby. Why don't you come with me first? I have some friends in the martial arts world who might be able to help you."

After he finished speaking, Aku stopped walking and looked at him in silence, obviously thinking about Rong Su's words.

After a long while, the voice outside calling her was getting closer and closer. Seeing that Aku had not thought it through, Rong Su spoke again.

"If you think it will trouble me, then you can rest assured. I am not afraid of trouble. After all, I chose to save you."

If Shen Peiqing heard this, he would definitely mock her. Anyone can be fearless of trouble, but Rong Su is definitely the one who fears it the most.

Of course, no one would know that she had said such lies, except Aku who didn't understand Rong Su.

This time Aku had no choice but to listen to Rong Su. He wanted to refuse again, but the injuries on his body really couldn't support him to walk out of the mountain. He might die halfway.

After thinking it over, Aku agreed to go back with Rong Su first.

It just so happened that Chang Sen had already brought his men to the outside of the cave and was looking for her anxiously.

But no one expected that Rong Su would be supporting a young man out of the cave, and the young man was injured.

Chang Sen was so frightened that he thought Rong Su had encountered something serious on the mountain, and hurried over to ask: "Doctor Rong, what happened? Are you injured?"

Originally, Aku still had some doubts about Rong Su's identity as a doctor. He did not show it just now because he hid his emotions very well. But now, after listening to what the panicked and nervous elder brother said, he knew that Rong Su was really a doctor and did not lie to him, so he felt relieved.

"Brother Chang, let's go back first."

Rong Su was actually worried that Aku's enemies were still nearby, and what he said just now was not entirely false.

Chang Sen naturally saw that the injuries on Aku's body did not seem to be caused by encountering jackals, tigers or leopards. He understood Rong Su's meaning and quickly ordered his servants to come and help Rong Su support Aku.

In this way, they left the back mountain and returned to the mining town.

First, bring the person back to the yard where Rong Su and the others live.

When they heard that Rong Su had returned and brought back an injured young man, many people came to see him overnight.

Then Aku sat in the middle, and a bunch of people sat around him, watching him.

It was the first time that Aku was surrounded by so many people. Although he had seen many scenes, he couldn't stand the sight of so many pairs of eyes looking at him with various expressions.

Noticing Aku's discomfort, Rong Su looked at them and said, "Aku is injured. If you have any questions, you can wait until tomorrow. Go back and rest."

The city lord Yan Liang ran over from the city lord's mansion and looked at Aku for a long time. When he heard that Rong Su wanted to drive him away, he wanted to ask, but since it was like this, he could only choose to leave first.

"Sister Rong, don't be too tired. You should rest early. Next time you need herbs, just ask the servants to go to the back mountain to collect them. You don't have to go there yourself."

After hearing this, Rong Su naturally understood what he meant, smiled and nodded.

After seeing Yan Liang and Chang Sen off, I saw Gu Yuer and Shen Peiqing still sitting there.

Gu Yuer stared at Aku as if he was looking at something strange. Although Shen Peiqing didn't stare at Aku, he seemed to be attacking Aku with his aura.

Akudu felt the cold-faced handsome man sitting opposite him. He didn't look at him directly, but the natural aura emanating from him was enough to make him alert all over.

Seeing that the two were still there, Rong Su directly asked them to leave. She didn't seem to realize that she was becoming more and more rude to them.

"Yu'er, Shen Peiqing, you should go back and rest."

Gu Yuer wanted to pull Rong Su over to ask her about something. She came here to check on the situation on behalf of her brother. Her brother's illness had not healed so quickly, which had caused her a lot of worry recently.

If she hadn't noticed that the black-faced guy hadn't bothered Sister Rong much recently, she wouldn't have worried about losing her hair. Now Sister Rong has picked up another young boy, what should she do? It seems that her brother has another rival in love?

This guy is also handsome, with fair skin, which seems to be much whiter than mine. I am afraid that if I pinch him, he will be wet, right?

No one knew what was going on in Gu Yu'er's mind. She could only whisper to Rong Su, "Sister Rong, don't get too tired. If you need help, I will definitely help you."

Appreciating Gu Yu'er's kindness, Rong Su urged her to leave: "Go and have a rest. I'll call you if I need you."

In the end, Gu Yuer could only look at Aku with a resentful look, and pulled the silent Yulan away unhappily and helplessly.

Rong Su persuaded Gu Yuer to go back, turned to look at Shen Peiqing who was cold and calm beside her, and spoke to him in a lukewarm tone.

"It's rare. Someone who usually only shows up at certain times is free to come tonight. But I don't have time to entertain you right now."

Shen Peiqing knew very well that he could hear the sarcasm in Rong Su's words. In recent days, except for appearing when it was necessary to see Rong Su to take his pulse, he had been busy with other things at other times. In fact, only he knew that he was just avoiding certain things or people.

Facing her sarcasm, he didn't show much expression, stood up, and said calmly: "Since Doctor Rong doesn't have time, I will come next time."

After saying this, the man left with the stone.

From being full at the beginning to being empty now, Rong Su sighed helplessly.

At this time, Akuin was no longer alone, so he slowly relaxed a little. He was a little tired from being on full alert.

Noticing Aku's condition, Rong Su looked at him and said softly, "They have no ill intentions. You should rest first. Your room is the one on the left at the back."

Aku naturally had a feeling whether those people had malicious intentions, but no one would feel good about being stared at like a monkey.

"Thank you."

She smiled faintly and said nothing, watching Aku go to the side room, and only then did she have time to see the pop-up reader.

[Successfully saved Aku's life, and will soon start forming a faction]

She understood the first part, but didn't understand the second part, so she asked, "What does it mean?"

[Aku possesses a powerful ability to gather information. The host is advised not to miss this person and quickly recruit him as a capable person.]

Still confused, Rong Su asked directly, "Why is there still a mission to build a faction? Since I've already saved Aku, hasn't that leveled up?"

[The host saving Aku is only half the task. The other half is to build a force. Only when the host makes Aku willingly acknowledge him as their master can the task be completed.]

There is actually such an operation. Rong Su was going crazy. The reader didn't say anything before the task.

Rong Su was angry and cursed the reader in her heart, then because she was really tired, she went back to rest yawning.

Aku went to the side room, but couldn't sleep at all because he felt insecure in a strange place.

Leaning against the bed, he stared around, his eyes wide, dark, and sharp.

The scene of the master's death kept lingering in his mind. The master held his hand tightly and gave him instructions.

{Aku, live well.}

Hatred rolled in his eyes, filling the darkness with half a flame.

"Master, as long as I am still alive, I will avenge you."
