Mu Ling: “Didn’t I tell you? if you die, I’ll become a suspect. I don’t want to take such a big risk! If the police can’t find any useful clues, I might end up in jail… I’m already 18 years old, and I might be sentenced to death. It’s too risky, so I can only save you!”

This reason sounded very reasonable, and the man didn’t find any flaws. His wound was bleeding non-stop, and the cold and physical fatigue also reminded him that he could die at any time.

The ship would need another four hours to reach the next port, and he didn’t know if he could make it by then. After thinking for a few seconds, he said decisively, “Alright, I believe you.”

“Yes, uncle. Lie down. I don’t have any anesthetic in my hand, so it’ll hurt a little later, but you’d better bear with it. Otherwise, if the people outside hear it, they’ll come in and arrest you. I don’t want to be implicated by you.”

As she spoke, Mu Ling took out an exquisite ancient sandalwood box from the cabinet. The box was carved with delicate flower patterns. The eight corners of the box were sealed with iron, but one of them seemed to have come loose.

She opened the box and revealed all kinds of knives. Next to the knives was a rolled-up embroidered cloth, which contained silver needles!

The man glanced at the things in the box. He felt that this little girl was getting more and more interesting. She was even quite mysterious.

Mu Ling lifted the man’s blood-stained clothes and saw the wound on his left abdomen. It was a deep dagger wound! She took out a few silver needles and accurately and quickly pierced the man’s purlicue.

The man was stunned. Didn’t she need to disinfect the silver needles over a fire before using them? Wasn’t that how they do it on TV?

As soon as she finished speaking, she took off her gloves and revealed a pair of slender and tender hands. They looked like the hands of a young lady from a rich family. No wonder she had to wear gloves to protect them. Then, she took out a small knife from the sandalwood box and began to clean the man’s rotten flesh. She sutured it, and bandaged it. Her technique was very skilled. It was impossible to reach this level without many years of medical experience.

“Don’t worry, it won’t kill you. I can help you stop the bleeding.” As she spoke, Mu Ling pulled out the silver needle. “I need to clean up the rotten flesh near your wound and then suture it. You have to bear with it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she took off her gloves and revealed a pair of slender and tender hands. They looked like the hands of a young lady from a rich family. No wonder she had to wear gloves to protect her. Then, she took out a small knife from the sandalwood box and began to clean the man’s rotten flesh, suture it, and bandage it. Her technique was very skilled. It was impossible to reach this level without many years of medical experience. But she looked like a little girl…

“Have a good night’s rest. If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll be able to jump around again tomorrow.” Mu Ling said mischievously.

After saying that, she packed her tools and went into the bathroom to wash her hands. When she came out, she put on the black gloves again. Then, he sat on the small sofa opposite the bed and looked out the window. She would probably arrive in Jing city at noon the next day.

Jingyun Island was an isolated island, and the only way to Jing city was by boat, which only came once every half a month. As the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family, Mu Ling’s existence was a problem for the Mu family. If it were not for the accident, she might not have left the island.

Without any anesthesia, the man gritted his teeth and persevered. His dark and deep eyes were shining. After he recovered for a while, he looked at Mu Ling with gratitude and asked, “Little girl, can you tell me your name?”

Mu Ling’s thoughts were pulled back, and she slowly said, “Mu Ling,”

“How old are you?” The man asked again.

“Uncle, you think you can just ask a girl about her age?”

“Then where are you going?” the man laughed.

Mu Ling: “The terminal.”

“Jing City?”

Mu Ling replied, “yes.”

“Why are we going to Jing City?” The man continued to ask.

“To attend a funeral.”It’s my father’s,” Mu Ling added.

That’s right, Mu Ling’s father, whom he had never met before, died in a car accident a few days ago. As an illegitimate daughter, she was also one of the inheritors of the inheritance. This trip to Jing city was to attend the funeral and also to sign the Contract for “the declaration of abandonment of the right of inheritance”. Interesting, right? If her father hadn’t died, who would have remembered her who was on the island?

“My condolences,” the man said apologetically.

“It doesn’t matter,” Mu Ling replied.

“Don’t misunderstand… I’m asking these questions because you saved my life. I should at least know who my Savior is.” The man explained.

“Me? I’m just an ordinary girl.” Mu Ling’s eyes were clear and sincere.

But the man didn’t believe it at all! The girl in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. He would find out the truth after he got ashore!
