He lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms who was already crying like a tearful person, and without saying a word, he picked her up from the ground. This man's chest was like her most stable harbor, and the panic and despair of dying in her heart had disappeared at this moment. Bai Suye subconsciously put her arms around his neck and let him hold her. After suffering for a whole night, she finally had a moment of relaxation.
Three people jumped into the helicopter one after another.
The propellers churned and the helicopter rose into the air.
Bai Suye sat in the cabin, and Ye Xiao sat side by side with her. At this moment, her tears had completely stopped, and she still felt a little embarrassed when she thought about her loss of control just now.
"Hand, let me see it!" Ye Xiao had already noticed the wound on her arm. If he hadn't mentioned it, she could have ignored it, but as soon as he mentioned it, she felt the pain.
Night Owl lifted her arm and tore off the roughly bandaged cloth. Under the cloth, the untreated wound had festered and was emitting white blood.
Bai Suye took a look and turned away. Ye Xiao's breathing became heavier, and he looked at her solemnly, "I'll treat your wound first."
"… Um."
"There's no anesthesia, just bear with it."
Bai Suye nodded, "It's okay."
"Sir, the reserve fuel is almost exhausted. We must find a place to land immediately." Yu An turned around and said to them.
Night Owl frowned, looked down, and immediately gave the order, "There is an abandoned RV at eight o'clock. Let's go there for now."
Yu An nodded and lowered the helicopter accurately.
Ye Xiao helped Bai Suye jump down from the helicopter. "You go in first. Yu An and I need to make some simple arrangements."
"I can stay and help you."
"You are almost exhausted now, why are you still helping? Go in!" Ye Xiao didn't give her the chance to say anything else and directly rejected her idea.
Bai Suye was afraid that if she stayed, it would distract him, so she went to the RV to check the situation inside. This RV had obviously been abandoned for a long time, and the sand had buried all the tires. The body of the RV was also full of sand. She pushed the door open and went in. The sand choked her and made her cough several times.
She sat down weakly, not caring about the sand on the seat. She leaned against it and looked out the window. Outside, Ye Xiao and Yu An were burying ammunition a few dozen meters away.
She looked at Night Owl's back, and all kinds of emotions suddenly filled her heart. It felt sour, but not as bitter as before. Now, it felt a little sweet...
She never expected that he would come...
When she was almost in despair and waiting to die, this man, like an omnipotent god, suddenly landed in front of her without caring about life or death.
But…
This sweetness is mixed with more worry and bitterness.
This desert was full of armed men, and the three of them had no hope of getting out safely. Even if their weapons could temporarily drive some people back, without reinforcements, they would die of thirst or starvation if trapped for a few days.
Just as I was daydreaming, the door of the RV was pushed open from the outside. Night Owl was tall and had to bend over to get in. The space inside was not very big to begin with, and it became even more crowded when he appeared.
He unscrewed the kettle and handed it to her, "Drink two sips."
Bai Suye took the kettle and took a sip with restraint.
"Drink two more sips." Night Owl was worried that she was dehydrated.
“No.” Even though she hadn’t had any water for a day and a night, she knew how important water was in the desert.
"Do you want to drink it yourself, or do you want me to feed you?" Ye Xiao simply ignored her words.
"Really, no need. I can still hold on for a while."
Ye Xiao snatched the kettle from her hand, unscrewed the lid, and took a big gulp. When Bai Suye was surprised, he directly pushed her over, leaned over and kissed her lips, and poured the water into her mouth without hesitation.
Um~this domineering man!
However, his domineering attitude always moved her, made her obsessed, and made her unable to extricate herself.
"Swallow it, don't waste a drop!" Night Owl let go of her.
Bai Suye had no choice but to swallow the water. The moist liquid passed through her dry throat, and she felt a little better. On her lips, it seemed that his temperature and warmth still remained, making her heart tremble.
Night Owl seemed satisfied. His eyes lingered on her lips for a moment, then quickly looked away.
"Raise your hand, I'll take care of your wound." He put down the kettle.
Bai Suye followed his instructions and stretched out her arms in front of him. He looked at her with a firm and encouraging look, as if to comfort her and give her strength to support her. Bai Suye smiled and said, "Come on, I can handle it."
Ye Xiao looked solemn. He took out a pair of scissors from the medicine box he brought with him, first cut open the sleeves on her arms, and then took out the disinfectant alcohol.
pause.
Look at her.
"It will hurt, just bear with it."
Bai Suye nodded.
She turned away and didn't look. Ye Xiao looked at her resolute and beautiful face, which could not be covered by the dust, and his heart was greatly moved.
This is the woman he wants—maybe not as delicate as other women, and she doesn’t know how to show weakness in front of him, but she is strong, brave, and charming, just like the flower that blooms in the desert.
Night Owl gritted his teeth and poured alcohol on her wound.
"Hmm..." The burning pain from the wound made her whole body tremble, and her already dry lips were bitten by her until they bled.
She subconsciously shrank back.
Ye Xiao paused in pouring the alcohol on her. Seeing her in so much pain, his heart suddenly felt like it was twisted into a dough stick.
He put down the alcohol and looked at her, without taking any further action for a long time.
When the pain that nearly knocked her unconscious subsided, Bai Suye turned her head and weakly pursed her lips at him, "I'm fine... You continue."
Her voice was already light and fluttering, like a wisp of smoke that could disappear at any time.
Ye Xiao took out the sterilized scalpel and tweezers with a serious look, held her slender arm with one hand, and stared at her closely. When the knife touched her skin, her eyelashes trembled violently, but...
Night Owl's hands were shaking slightly and he couldn't hold the knife.
He made a lot of psychological preparations, but in the end...
"Yu An, come up!" He threw down the scalpel and gave up.
If this wound was on his own body, he would be able to cut himself easily and without mercy. However, he couldn't even cut her body a few times!
Yu An, who was patrolling outside and checking the surrounding environment, heard the noise, came in with a gun, and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"You come!"
He stood up and gave his original seat to Yu An.
He then sat sideways next to Bai Suyue.
"Me?" Yu An pointed at himself.
Night Owl nodded solemnly.
