Shen Shijiu's eyes immediately turned red, "Brother Pei! You are bleeding!"
But there might be other snakes in that woods, so we must leave first.
Shen Shijiu had encountered snakes when he came to this forest before, but he had the medicine bag given by Shen Huan to protect himself, so the snakes did not attack him. It’s just that now there are fewer medicinal herbs in the bamboo house, and Shen Huan is overwhelmed by other things, so he forgot about this matter for a while.
Shen Shijiu first helped Pei Zheng leave there, and did not forget to take the dead snake with him, as he had other uses for the snake skin and gall.
The two came to a cave at the foot of the mountain. Shen Shijiu asked Pei Zhengxian to sit down against the wall of the cave, then he turned around and ran out again.
Pei Zheng frowned slightly only after Shen Shijiu left.
It would be a lie to say it didn't hurt, especially when the wound was torn again and the pain was much more painful than the first time.
Now the sleeve was almost stained with blood, and the blood was still flowing. Pei Zheng's lips turned pale and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
Shen Shijiu must have hurried out to find herbs to stop the bleeding, but Pei Zheng was actually very worried if he went out alone.
At this moment, the sky outside the cave suddenly became gloomy, and then a loud thunder struck down.
The weather had been a bit chilly just now, but I didn’t expect that it wouldn’t snow in this winter but rain instead. No wonder this place is called Guigu.
After a while, heavy rain began to fall, accompanied by thunder, and the whole cave was shrouded in the crackling sound of rain.
Shen Shijiu has been out for a while and has not come back yet, and the rain is getting heavier.
Pei Zheng used his other hand to tear off his sleeve, wrapped it around his injured shoulder twice, then slowly stood up while holding onto the wall.
The pain from the wound was almost numb. Pei Zheng walked towards the cave entrance step by step, and was about to walk into the heavy rain without hesitation.
Not far away, a small figure ran back in the rain.
Shen Shijiu rushed into the cave. He was completely wet and felt bitingly cold, but he couldn't care about himself at this moment.
"Brother Pei, you, you come here quickly and sit down."
Shen Shijiu's lips were frozen purple, and he could only utter complete sentences by clenching his teeth tightly.
Pei Zheng listened to his words and sat back, but his eyes were always fixed on the little guy, his eyes were full of pity and heartache.
Shen Shijiu took out a handful of herbs from his bosom, put them in his mouth and chewed them, then quickly untied the shoulder that Pei Zheng had entangled.
As soon as the bloody wound was exposed, Shen Shijiu's tears instantly fell, dripping onto Pei Zheng's hand.
Pei Zheng felt distressed and reached out to wipe his tears.
"Don't cry, I'm not hurt."
"You, you lied to me about so much blood, how could it not hurt? Brother Pei must be in so much pain that he must be dying."
Shen Shijiu's little face was cold, and had been frozen to the point of being pale, but because he was only concerned about Pei Zheng's injury, he didn't consider himself at all.
After applying the herbs on Pei Zheng's wound and then re-bandaging the wound, Shen Shijiu began to feel cold.
After getting caught in the rain in the cold weather, the cold clothes were all wet and stuck to the body. Even a person with good physical fitness would not be able to bear it for a long time, let alone Shen Shijiu who was in a special period.
He also sat down next to Pei Zheng and shivered constantly. Although Pei Zheng hugged him tightly, it was useless as he was still very cold.
"Brother Pei, ok, it's so cold, really cold."
Shen Shijiu kept mumbling to himself, but soon he stopped making any noise and fell unconscious due to the cold.
Fortunately, Pei Zheng found some dry branches that could burn in the cave. After lighting the fire, Pei Zheng picked up the little guy leaning next to him and carried him to sleep by the fire.
After applying herbal medicine to the wound on my shoulder, the bleeding stopped. I still felt a slight fever, but the pain was relieved a lot.
Pei Zheng touched the little guy's face, and he was still very cold. He thought about it and decided that he must take off the cold clothes for him.
After some effort, the little guy's wet and cold clothes were taken off and placed by the fire to dry.
Pei Zheng began to undress again, including his inner shirt, exposing his chest. Then he lifted up the little man with his eyes closed on the ground, pressed him into his arms, and used his body temperature to warm his cold body.
He put the little guy's limp arms into his robe and wrapped them around his waist. Pei Zheng hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he was holding the most precious thing in the world, tightly and never letting go.
Just when Pei Zheng's arms were almost becoming cold, the little guy's body finally began to warm up.
Pei Zheng began to shiver from the cold, and he threw some more branches into the fire.
The rain outside stopped without me noticing, but the sky was still gloomy.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the person in my arms finally moved.
Shen Shijiu slowly opened his eyes and felt his whole body enveloped by warmth, which was very comfortable.
He poked his little head out and called out, "Brother Pei"
Pei Zheng saw that he had woken up, and asked hoarsely, "Are you awake? Are you still feeling cold?"
Shen Shijiu shook his head. He no longer felt cold, but felt very warm.
Pei Zheng reached out and touched his face, and it had indeed regained its warmth, and there was no fever anymore.
But Shen Shijiu found that Pei Zheng's face looked a little strange. He wanted to reach out to touch Pei Zheng's forehead, only to find that his arms were bare, without clothes, and his skin was closely pressed against Pei Zheng's.
"Brother Pei, where are my clothes?"
Pei Zheng raised his chin. Shen Shijiu grabbed his clothes and wanted to put them on, but Pei Zheng held him and didn't move.
"Brother Pei, I need to get dressed. Please send me away first."
"Yeah." Pei Zheng responded softly, but was reluctant to let go.
The smooth and delicate touch was about to disappear, and once he returned to the bamboo house, he would have no chance of touching it again under Shen Huan's sight.
Thinking of this, Pei Zheng tightened his arms even more, and the clothes on Shen Shijiu's hands were rubbed off.
"Brother Pei, you're holding me too tight, I can't breathe."
Shen Shijiu complained softly, but it sounded more like he was angry. Before he could finish his words, someone blocked his lips tightly.
The rest of the words were swallowed, leaving only a few fragments between the intertwined lips and teeth.
"Hmmmm."
Pei Zheng finally let go of the person in his arms, not for any other reason, but because he also felt a little dizzy, as if he had a fever, and he was afraid that it would be infecting the little one.
Shen Shijiu quickly slipped out of Pei Zheng's clothes and quickly put on his own clothes. His clothes had been warmed by the fire, and he felt warm all over when wearing them.
Shen Shijiu gathered Pei Zheng's clothes together, tied them up, and then touched Pei Zheng's forehead.
Sure enough, I got scalded.
"Brother Pei, your face is so hot, you might have a fever," Shen Shijiu helped Pei Zheng stand up, "We need to go back quickly."
The two men walked out of the cave and hurried towards the bamboo house before the heavy rain came.
After getting on the boat, Shen Shijiu did not allow Pei Zheng to exert any effort and rowed back by himself.
After finally reaching the shore, the bamboo house was right in front of us.
Pei Zheng's whole body began to feel hot, and he felt so light that he could hardly stand, but he still held on and was supported by Shen Shijiu to walk towards the bamboo house.
"Master! Master, please come quickly! Brother Pei is injured! Please come and help quickly!"
Shen Shijiu shouted towards the house.
But Shen Huan's voice came from behind, "Little disciple, little disciple, the master is here!"
Shen Huan ran over in a hurry.
"I forgot to give you the medicine packs. Are you okay? Ah? Did you get bit by a snake? And, it rained so hard just now. Did you get wet?"
Shen Huan started to worry when they didn't come back from the bamboo house, so she went out to look for them. After searching for a long time and failing to find them, she turned back.
Fortunately, the two of them came back at this time.
Shen Shijiu seemed to be fine, but Pei Zheng's condition was visibly bad.
Shen Huan quickly helped Shen Shijiu to bring Pei Zheng back to the room and lay him down, then asked Shen Shijiu to decoct the medicine first, while he sewed up the wound on Pei Zheng's shoulder and wrapped it up carefully.
Pei Zheng already had a fever due to the torn wound, and after keeping Shen Shijiu warm for so long, he caught a cold as well.
After drinking the medicine, Pei Zheng slowly fell asleep.
Shen Huan took his little disciple out of the room and let Pei Zheng have a good sleep and rest inside.
Shen Huan took Shen Shijiu to his room, asked him to sit on a stool, and then he took his pulse.
"Master, I'm really fine. I know it myself."
"No, you don't know." Shen Huan interrupted him with a serious face and continued to take his pulse.
After taking the pulse with the other arm, Shen Huan finally felt relieved. Fortunately, Shen Shijiu and the little life in her belly were fine, otherwise she would have blamed herself to death.
Now seeing Pei Zheng's look, Shen Huanxin already felt very guilty.
Shen Huan asked Shen Jiujiu about the whole story. Shen Jiujiu told his master everything and said that it was all because of him that Pei Zheng was like this.
But Shen Huan still knows what's going on. It's not a question of blaming anyone. There are some things that no one wants to happen.
"That is to say, Master Pei, this is all for you, right?"
Shen Shijiu nodded with red eyes.
Shen Huan didn't speak for a long time.
She thought for a long time and made a decision.
On the second day, Shen Huan got up early as usual. He first helped Pei Zheng to boil the medicine, and then he also boiled a portion for Shen Shijiu.
