Chapter 680 - Escape

After Bai Zhi climbed up from the pond, she walked trembling to the official road, which was more than a dozen miles away from the gate of the capital. She was a doctor, she knew that in this situation if she didn’t dry her clothes as soon as possible and warm her body, she might die on the road.

When she was thinking about it anxiously, there was a flash of fire in the distance. She secretly thought that she has no other choice, and so she rushed to find the place where the fire is. The fire was in a deserted temple, and it was very dilapidated. She was afraid that even beggars would not want to stay here.

What more strange was, there was a fire, but there was no one near the fire.

Bai Zhi walked to the fire. Before getting close to the fire, a black shadow suddenly jumped out in front of Bai Zhi. The man was holding a dagger in his hand. The next moment, he pointed the sharp blade at Bai Zhi’s chest and attack her fiercely.

Bai Zhi dodged quickly. The person seemed to be having difficulty moving around. He couldn’t hit her with a knife, and then suddenly, he fell to the ground and passed out.

What is this situation?

Bai Zhi was a little confused.

She kicked the dagger away from the man’s hand. And after making sure that he fainted, and there was no other weapon on his body, she squatted beside the man and turned him over.

Under the light of the fire, she saw the man’s face. He looked very young. At most, he was in his early twenties. He has an attractive appearance, delicate and tender skin.

This young man was injured. His left leg was fractured, and his right back shoulder had a sword wound. Although he had treated the wound, the wound still inflamed. No wonder his face was flushed red, this inflammation caused the high fever.

She doesn’t know who he is, but how can someone live in this place. And someone who has this appearance.

Thinking of what happened just now, didn’t she almost died in his hands? However, she began to sympathize with the unconscious man before her.

Bai Zhi took off the cotton-padded coat on her body, wrung out the water accumulated in it, and dry it by the fire. She also squatted by the fire and warm her body. Then, she dragged the unconscious man and bandaged his broken leg. After roasting the dagger on the fire, she cut off the rotten flesh on his shoulder and applied the medicine he was carrying on his body.

The man woke up from the pain in his shoulder. When he slightly opened his eyes, he saw a girl, who was wearing an inner dress, in front of him and applying medicine to his wound.

The girl’s hair was messy and it seemed to be still wet. Her head was hanging down, and her hair was covering half of her face. He couldn’t see her appearance. He could only see those eyes that were unusually bright. He just looked at them. She must be born extremely beautiful.

Bai Zhi glanced at him and said quietly: “Are you awake?”

The man busily closed his eyes and said nothing.

Bai Zhi didn’t say much. After putting medicine, she turned her back to him and continued to dry her cotton coat and boots.

Most of the coat on her body has dried up, only her coat was left. She doesn’t know when will it dry out.

The young man, who pretended to be sleeping, opened his eyes again and looked at Bai Zhi’s delicate back. When he saw her appearance at this moment, he felt pity inside his heart. Such a weak girl appeared in this place in the middle of the night, looking embarrassed. Obviously, she encountered something bad.

The man felt in pain again and he felt dizzy. He fell asleep again. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and the girl who bandaged his wound was gone.
