Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.
Chapter 9 Repaying kindness with hatred
After stopping the bleeding, Chu Luo looked at his and her soaked clothes, then took some firewood and started a fire.
The fire had barely been lit when the masked man's breathing became steady.
Jin Wuchen also clearly felt his body begin to warm up; this person's medicine was truly miraculous.
He had tried many effective hemostatic drugs, but none had ever worked like this.
She saved his life for the time being.
Chu Luo examined his pulse and found him to be truly robust and healthy, maximizing the effects of her medicine.
Seeing the glaring bloodstains in the house, she was reminded of the bloodstains in the yard.
If someone were to chase after them, no one could escape, so she quickly got up to tidy up.
After tidying up, Chu Luo went to the tree in the yard and dug out the wine she had hidden.
This wine was buried by her when she was a child, when she learned to hide wedding wine like other people.
Wedding wine is supposed to be brought out during the wedding ceremony, but if we urgently need it now, looking for it outside might get us discovered.
"Even though she didn't marry a good man, she might as well use that money to save people."
When she returned and saw that his breathing and pulse were normal, Chu Luo leaned against a pillar to dry her clothes and take a break.
She wasn't worried at all that he would wake up; with such a serious injury, he would be unconscious for at least a day or two.
She knew that it would take some time for this person to completely turn the tide.
After that, she had to apply medicine to him every hour.
Moreover, he would develop a high fever in the middle of the night.
If his temperature isn't lowered in time, he'll either become an idiot or go insane.
Two hours later, Chu Luo, whose dressing had been changed once, woke up again.
Their clothes had been dried by the fire.
As she had predicted, the man developed a high fever.
She needed to cool this person down quickly.
Unfortunately, after searching high and low, I couldn't find any fabric, so I had to cut a piece from the edge of my own clothes.
Soak the veil with the cooled wine that was dug out, and then soak his veil completely.
Jin Wuchen smelled a special aroma of wine, mellow and mild, like wine that had been stored for many years.
Even though he was very knowledgeable, he had never drunk such wine before.
Who is this person?
His face was covered, which made things very inconvenient for Chu Luo, but she still didn't have the idea of removing the cloth.
Jin Wuchen didn't expect that she wouldn't remove his mask at this moment.
Fortunately, she hadn't taken it off, otherwise he, unable to move at that moment, wouldn't have been able to save her.
After several hours of fussing, Chu Luo's hands were sore, and the wine was almost gone.
She poured out the remaining wine. Although she rarely drank, this wine, which she had brewed for so many years, was incredibly fragrant.
She couldn't resist taking a couple of sips, but found the alcohol a bit too strong and didn't want to drink anymore.
It would be a shame to let it fall.
She thought for a moment and realized that the wine could ward off the cold, so she shouldn't waste it.
So, through the mask, he forced the remaining wine down the man's throat.
After a few sips of wine, Jin Wuchen felt a warm sensation throughout his body, and the aroma was enticing.
Chu Luo waited until the aroma of wine and medicine in the room had dissipated before closing the windows.
The masked man in black was finally no longer hot.
Chu Luo was so tired that she leaned against a pillar and dozed off.
Half asleep, Chu Luo heard voices coming from the roof.
They seemed to be looking for someone, but when she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness.
The candle went out early, and the fire was extinguished, leaving only a lingering warmth.
When Chu Luo reached for the iron rod to defend herself, a large hand covered her mouth.
Her upper body was restrained, and she could not move.
The familiar scent of medicinal powder on him made Chu Luo give up struggling.
She held her breath, hoping the people on the roof would leave quickly.
"That man was seriously injured. No matter how strong he is, he shouldn't be able to get very far from being chased by so many of us."
"But we just couldn't find anyone. The distance here is already several times beyond the limits of a normal person."
"What if he didn't run very far at all, and fell somewhere, and we were so focused on chasing him that we overlooked him?"
"This damn rain helped him. Since there's not a trace around here, let's go back and search."
"Have them send more men and launch a thorough search tonight. We need to find them alive or dead."
The two people on the rooftop finished speaking and quickly left.
After a while, the person next to her stopped covering Chu Luo's face.
"Can you let go of my arm? It's numb," Chu Luo asked in a low voice.
The masked man released Chu Luo's arm, but then placed a dagger against her neck.
He woke up so quickly, which was something Chu Luo had never expected.
Chu Luo spoke softly, "I saved your life, what are you doing, repaying kindness with enmity?"
"No matter which path you're on, there should be a code of conduct for everyone."
Her tone was calm and even, without any fear or expectation.
Jin Wuchen was taken aback, not expecting her to react this way.
He wanted to see who it was as soon as he opened his eyes, but the person in front of him was masked.
He investigated and found that she had no martial arts skills and was just an ordinary person.
His hand holding the dagger moved further away from Chu Luo's neck.
Chu Luo then took the opportunity to punch him in the wound.
He groaned as Chu Luo snatched the dagger from him and pinned him to the ground.
"It hurts, doesn't it? You deserve to die from the pain. Why do you all repay kindness with enmity?"
"This medicine is so precious, I hardly even dare to use it myself, and you're threatening me with a knife?"
Chu Luo's tone at this moment was like an ice blade.
She hadn't gone back to her room to take her medicine yet. Her voice was still roughly Yinshan's, but because she was a little angry, it wasn't entirely Yinshan's tone.
Hidden Mountain's usual gentle tone had lost all warmth at this moment.
As Chu Luo spoke, before he could recover, she slammed her hand, which was covering his wound, hard.
She was certain that his wound was bleeding again.
Just when Chu Luo thought he had been subdued, he flipped over again and pinned her to the ground.
Jin Wuchen hadn't expected her to be so capable, but a bit too impatient.
A long needle extended from a bracelet on his wrist, reaching straight to Chu Luo's neck.
By the light of the moon after the rain, Chu Luo could see that he was trembling with pain.
But he stubbornly held back and didn't utter a sound.
At this moment, Chu Luo realized that even if he was seriously injured, taking her life would still be easy.
Just when Chu Luo thought he was about to make a move, he stopped and sat down to the side.
"I won't hurt you. Those people haven't gone far yet, and I'm afraid you'll shout and attract attention."
His voice was hoarse.
Chu Luo couldn't recognize his original voice; she didn't know if he had used special methods or if he was injured.
Chu Luo naturally knew that speaking loudly would attract attention, so even though she was disappointed and angry, she had been speaking very softly from the moment she spoke until now.
Chu Luo said, "Although I don't have internal energy or martial arts skills, even if you wanted to, you couldn't hurt me."
Seeing that the man in black was just listening quietly, Chu Luo felt it was necessary to explain.
"I swear I didn't see your face, nor do I know who you are. I haven't seen anyone tonight, and I won't say a word about it to anyone else."
Jin Wuchen didn't know how she could be so confident. "I know you haven't seen what I look like, but how do you know I can't hurt you?"
Jin Wuchen realized something was wrong as soon as he asked the question.
Chu Luo asked, "Is it because your wound is in excruciating pain and you feel weak all over?"
Even though he tried his best, he still couldn't sit still and was panting heavily.
Chu Luo knew the medicine was working.
"You poisoned it?" Jin Wuchen asked.
This time she had a backup plan. Chu Luo spoke up:
"No, it's just that some of the ingredients in my miraculous healing medicine contain deadly poisons. Although it has an extremely strong hemostatic effect, that doesn't change the fact that it's highly poisonous."
Jin Wuchen quickly steadied his breathing and calmly asked, "Since it's highly poisonous, why did you go through all that trouble to save me all night?"
Chu Luo really thought this person was too strong, he was able to calm down so quickly.
"At least you have some conscience, knowing I spent a whole night working on this."
"As long as you don't rush to repay kindness with enmity, I have ways to save your life, and this night won't have been a waste."
Jin Wuchen pondered for a moment and understood her intention:
"Your medicine is so well-prepared, there should be a way to remove the poison in it. You deliberately left the poison in."
"Yes, I did it on purpose."
"Why?"
Jin Wuchen sat down against the pillar to ease the excruciating pain in his body.
As Chu Luo rekindled the fire, she said:
"Would you believe me if I said I repaid kindness with enmity for the sake of those I rescued?"
Jin Wuchen tried to circulate his internal energy to expel the toxins, but the more he used his internal strength, the more intense the pain became.
Speaking with some difficulty, "Do you often...often save people? Or did you save...who left an indelible impression on you?"
"Talking to you is so easy. If I were to die a horrible death at the hands of the person I was saving, wouldn't that be an indelible memory?"
Chu Luo casually spoke of her unresolved regrets from her past life to a complete stranger she would never see again.
There was someone who caused her to lose her life because of her kindness.
This matter had lingered in her mind for many years.
When one's heart softens again and one tries to save someone, the painful memories resurface.
Jin Wuchen looked at the person in front of her, a clear look of disappointment flashing in her eyes, and asked in confusion:
"Then why did you save me? Aren't you afraid I'll end up like that person?"
He would never repeat the same mistake he had made, but the person in front of him was different.
Having been betrayed and suffered losses, she still recklessly tried to save people.
"I've seen enough dead people; I don't want to see innocent people lose their lives. One human life isn't worth gambling with."
Chu Luo didn't know whether the person she saved was good or bad, but if she didn't save them, she wouldn't let it go.
The pain of being repaid with ingratitude is no less than the pain of being unable to let go.
Jin Wuchen coldly said, "If you win, you might get nothing; if you lose, you might lose your life."
This time, Chu Luo knew to leave herself a way out for her kindness.
"It's not so easy to kill me now. If I don't use another medicine to counteract the deadly poison in the hemostatic drug, it will cause excruciating pain and make people die when it enters their heart and lungs."
Jin Wuchen said sternly, "You're gambling with your life. If you really lose your life because of this, even if he dies from the pain, it won't compensate for your innocent death. You're very stupid."
There are plenty of bad people in the world, but people like this are rare.
Another reason they are rare is that they are easily killed by their own kindness and foolishness.
Although she is smart and capable, if she were to randomly save people, whether human or ghost, she wouldn't live long.
He hoped the person in front of him could live a few more days, so he wouldn't ruin himself.
