The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Dongfang Jincheng heard the sound of flowing water below the cliff, which is why he risked jumping down with Li Muxia.

During the fall, he held Li Muxia tightly to prevent her from being scratched by tree branches.

The feeling of weightlessness during the rapid descent made Li Muxia feel like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. At this moment, he finally understood what those bungee jumpers felt.

However, she felt no fear whatsoever, simply because the man holding her was protecting her so well that all he could feel was the whistling wind, as if he were inside a protective circle.

Just as she was falling halfway down, Li Muxia heard Dongfang Jincheng groan, and then a warm, bloody liquid dripped onto her face. It must have hit a protruding rock on the cliff or a tree on the cliff.

Li Muxia: "Your Highness, you..."

Before they could finish asking a question, they fell into the icy water. Dongfang Jincheng instantly lost consciousness, but his arms around Li Muxia showed no sign of letting go.

Li Muxia gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. Now that Dongfang Jincheng was holding her, she couldn't swim. Moreover, the current was very strong, and she had to surface quickly, otherwise she didn't know if she would hit the rocks at the bottom of the river, which would be really dangerous.

Li Muxia struggled to break free from Dongfang Jincheng's embrace. Just as Dongfang Jincheng was about to be swept away by the current, she grabbed his hand, pulled him closer, wrapped one arm around his waist, and swung the other arm forcefully to try to float to the surface.

Fortunately, Li Muxia was a good swimmer and managed to pull herself to the surface by supporting a man, though her arms were very sore.

Before Li Muxia could even catch her breath, she saw that the water flow in front of her had stopped.

Li Muxia exclaimed, "Oh no, it's a waterfall!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Li Muxia resignedly closed her eyes, hugged Dongfang Jincheng tightly, took a deep breath, and then experienced the exhilarating sensation of a waterfall plunging three thousand feet.

Fortunately, there was a deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall, which prevented Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng from being killed on the spot.

The two continued to fall until Li Muxia felt the descent slow down. Only then did she hold Dongfang Jincheng and try to swim upwards. However, judging from Dongfang Jincheng's condition, she was afraid he wouldn't be able to make it to the top. Without time to think, Li Muxia knew she couldn't let Dongfang Jincheng die from oxygen deprivation.

In this deep water, one can only breathe through their mouth.

Their lips touched, and Dongfang Jincheng seemed to sense something. His consciousness returned for a moment, and he opened his eyes hazily. In the moonlight, he met a pair of clear eyes.

When Li Muxia saw that Dongfang Jincheng had opened his eyes a crack, she thought he had woken up, and a look of joy appeared in her eyes.

However, before she could be happy for long, Dongfang Jincheng's eyes closed again.

After Li Muxia laboriously dragged Dongfang Jincheng to the shore, she was exhausted. She took deep breaths of fresh air and shook her arms.

"She looks quite thin, how come she's so heavy?"

However, there was no time for further complaints; Li Muxia began to provide first aid to Dongfang Jincheng.

After CPR and artificial respiration, Dongfang Jincheng managed to vomit most of the water he had drunk, but he was still unconscious.

After hearing that Dongfang Jincheng's breathing was normal, Li Muxia lifted Dongfang Jincheng up and quickly left the pool.

After all, the jungle and the water's edge are not so safe. If they encounter some wild beast that comes to drink, she is not confident that she can protect Dongfang Jincheng.

It has to be said that Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng were quite lucky. Not far from the pool, Li Muxia saw a small wooden house. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it was enough to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Seeing the cabin gave Li Muxia hope, and her strength returned for a moment.

Li Muxia led Dongfang Jincheng to the cabin in one go and plopped down on the floor. However, she didn't have much time to rest. She looked at Dongfang Jincheng lying on the floor and then glanced around.

It has to be said that this house is really simple, you could describe it as bare. It must have been built by a hunter for temporary rest. There are some hunting tools hanging on the wall, some firewood piled in the corner, and even a small pot and a water bag.

There was no bed, but there was a patch of dry grass spread out against the wall. Li Muxia thought that must be where the hunters slept, so Dongfang Jincheng would have to make do for now.

They moved Dongfang Jincheng onto the hay and took his pulse.

His pulse was weak and he had been poisoned. Fortunately, Dongfang Jincheng was in good health, so even though the poison was quite strong, it did not kill him immediately.

However, if we don't detoxify soon, I don't know if we can hold on any longer.

Li Muxia took out the antidote pill and looked at the intact porcelain bottle. She was very glad that her bottles and jars had not been washed away by the river.

Li Muxia picked up the water bag hanging on the wall, filled the pool with water, and then fed the antidote pill to Dongfang Jincheng. However, the unconscious man had no awareness of swallowing. Watching the water drip down Dongfang Jincheng's lips, Li Muxia sighed, took a mouthful of water, and fed him the medicine mouth-to-mouth.

The moment their lips touched, Li Muxia couldn't help but blush.

Remind yourself that this is all for saving lives.

After Li Muxia lit the fire, she slowly took off her soaked outer shirt and hung it over the fire to dry. Then, she also took off all of Dongfang Jincheng's clothes, leaving him only in his underpants. She was genuinely worried that Dongfang Jincheng would catch a cold.

The medicines on Li Muxia included those for bruises and sprains, as well as antidotes to poisons, but none for treating colds.

Looking at the blood-stained inner garment, Li Muxia knew that Dongfang Jincheng was injured, but she did not expect it to be so serious. How much blood had he lost?

When Dongfang Jincheng turned around, it was seen that a dart was deeply embedded in his shoulder, with only a small part showing.

Li Muxia dared not rashly pull out the dart, and could only try to wash the wound with clean water to remove the blood.

Besides his shoulder, Dongfang Jincheng had a large bruise on his left waist, which must have been caused by the fall. The large bruise looked rather frightening.

However, it was the scar on her waist and abdomen that caught Li Muxia's attention. After taking a closer look, she felt that it looked very familiar, as if she had seen this wound in this location somewhere before.

Suddenly, a scene flashed into Li Muxia's mind: when Feng Yuhan and Li Muxia escaped from Nangong Huaiyuan's clutches, Feng Yuhan was injured, and it seemed that this was the spot where he was injured.

Li Muxia ran her fingers over the scar; it was definitely a knife wound. How could it be such a coincidence that Dongfang Jincheng was also wounded in the same spot?

A thought suddenly popped into Li Muxia's head: No way, could they be...?

The idea was rejected by Li Muxia as soon as it came to mind.

No, these two people can't possibly be the same person; they don't look alike at all.
