The setting sun cast its afterglow all over the sky; that pale golden light looked extremely gentle and yet extremely sad.
Su Wan ran to the river, bent down, and began to pick the herbs carefully.
Because his grandfather liked traditional Chinese medicine and hated western medicine, Su Wan basically didn't take western medicine when he was a child. According to Su Heng, western medicine only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
Thanks to Su Heng, Su Wan knew a lot about Chinese herbal medicines when she was a child.
I just didn't expect that today, in this remote place, the little knowledge I had before would come in handy.
Su Wan firmly believed that he was not mistaken, those herbs were used to stop bleeding. The only thing Su Wan prayed for was that the medicinal properties of these plants had not changed after so many years of changes.
After Su Wan picked all the herbs, she placed them on the bluestone, picked up a small stone, washed it, and mashed the herbs into a ball.
"Are you sure this will work?"
Seeing Su Wan pouring out the green plant juice, Ming Ye frowned slightly and glanced at Su Wan suspiciously.
"I am sure and certain... But that was when I was on Earth. You know, that was many, many years ago..."
Su Wan looked at Ming Ye seriously. In fact, she felt a little nervous, and her voice became softer as she spoke.
"If you are really worried about the medicinal properties changing, then we won't apply the herbs."
After saying this, Su Wan looked embarrassed, staring at his hands stained with green juice in confusion.
"Actually, I also scratched the back of my foot! How about this, I'll try it on myself first, wait an hour, and if there's no problem, I'll try it on you?"
Su Wan's eager voice passed by his ears, Ming Ye's expression moved slightly, and his clenched hands slowly loosened.
A pair of enchanting eyes locked tightly on Su Wan, and he did not miss the seriousness in Su Wan's eyes.
Is she going to test the medicine on herself
This answer suddenly popped up in Mingye's mind, and his body shook suddenly!
For some reason, the more relaxed and natural Su Wan spoke, the more Ming Ye felt like there was a huge rock pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Yet I enjoy it so much.
Seeing Su Wan tying up his trouser legs with one hand and applying the green herbal juice on the instep of his feet, Ming Ye spoke without thinking.
"No, just apply the medicine on me! Since all that was made for me, don't waste it."
Su Wan didn't even raise her head and retorted subconsciously.
"I only tried a little on the back of my foot, and there was still a lot of it by the river. I shouldn't have joked with your life..."
However, Ming Ye directly pulled Su Wan up.
"Don't worry. If this kind of herb can hurt someone with my physique, it would be really laughable."
Ming Ye spoke lightly, directly skipping over his past nightmarish experiences.
What's the point of applying some herbs with unknown medicinal properties? He had been attacked by blood-eating insects before, which were injected directly into his blood. The pain was like thousands of ants gnawing at his heart, and he thought that death was just like this.
And those beasts just wanted to see whether this "humanoid machine" of his would change in any way.
Haha, such a ridiculous reason.
Maybe it would be better to just die.
The days I spent in the laboratory are too painful to recall, but I always think of them in my dreams at midnight and can never forget them.
Therefore, he had a thousand and ten thousand reasons to kill those inhuman beasts!
…
Su Wan was startled. She raised her eyes and saw Ming Ye looking at her indifferently, but his expression left no room for doubt.
In this domineering personality, Ming Ye is very similar to Jiang Xuecheng.
When Su Wan thought of Jiang Xuecheng, her previous persistence suddenly vanished. She sighed and simply stopped arguing with Ming Ye.
"Well, take off your shirt."
Mingye nodded and swiftly took off his clothes that were stained with waterweed and mud.
Su Wan brought some clean water with a banana leaf and carefully wiped the wound on Ming Ye's left shoulder.
Ming Ye looked about the same age as Jiang Xuecheng. Su Wan couldn't understand why Ming Ye looked so old!
It’s not that he looks haggard, but that he gives people a feeling of total despair and emptiness.
Moreover, Ming Ye's body was also terrifying. Although he had high-purity dragon blood and super recovery ability, Su Wan still saw various wounds on Ming Ye's body.
Some were bleeding, some had a knife cut across their entire back, and some had very shallow wounds, but it was not difficult to see the tragic situation at the time of the injury.
It's really true that people have different fates.
Su Wan is now becoming more and more curious about Ming Ye's identity, but this man refuses to reveal anything.
Realizing that he was distracted, Su Wan quickly put aside those random thoughts and carefully applied medicine to Ming Ye.
Ming Ye pursed his lips slightly, his eyes fixed on Su Wan's profile.
When Su Wan was taking the medicine, his expression was calm and serious, and his face was reflected in his clear almond eyes like glass.
In fact, Su Wan was in a very miserable condition now. Her wet hair stuck to her cheeks, the tears in her eyes had not yet faded, and there were a few beads of sweat on her fair forehead.
But for some reason, Ming Ye suddenly blurted out.
"Su Wan, has anyone ever told you that you are very beautiful?"
Ming Ye's voice was very natural, and his tone was calm. He didn't sound like he was praising. It was as if he was saying that the sunset was so beautiful today, simply stating a fact.
“Is… is that so?”
When Su Wan heard this, his hands shook violently and he almost spilled the remaining herbs on the ground.
Su Wan's face instantly turned a little overwhelmed. She was not a stupid person and immediately realized that Ming Ye might really have some feelings for her and that the two of them should keep a little more distance.
Since losing her child, Su Wan left Jiangxue City, but she never thought about being with anyone else.
What if Ming Ye is really Jiang Xuecheng’s brother or something like that, then their identities would be too embarrassing.
Su Wan's expression stern, he quickly changed the subject.
"My hair is all messy now, Mingye, don't let me doubt your aesthetic taste. Okay, you have finished applying the medicine."
After Su Wan finished speaking, she immediately withdrew her hand.
Feeling the warm touch on his shoulder suddenly disappear, Mingye was startled and tightened his fingers silently.
"Su Wan, are you afraid of me?"
Ming Ye turned his head and glanced at the blazing sunset in the sky, his voice low, cold and distant.
Su Wan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
Jiang Xuecheng had also asked her this question, but the answer was obvious. She was really afraid of Jiang Xuecheng from the bottom of her heart, but as for Ming Ye, the two of them could still get along as ordinary friends.
Su Wan didn't know that Ming Ye was such a love-deprived person, and she didn't know that just applying some medicine could make Ming Ye think so much.
But in fact, Mingye just lacks people's care.
"Is that so?"
Ming Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, then stood up suddenly.
"I'll go find something to eat."
After saying this, Ming Ye walked away.
