The next day, when the Uncle Li arrived, Qian Li still had not gotten up, and she had not brought in the things that he had brought over to the door the entire time. Because it was snowing heavily, the steamed buns under the eaves had already frozen over. It's not edible at all.

Uncle Li pursed his lips, and a bad premonition arose in an instant.

"Qian Li?" He knocked on the door. The first two movements were considered gentle, but after knocking several times and hearing nothing from the inside, Uncle Li could only kick the door open.

The fire had been extinguished completely, and there were many traces of blood on the ground. Beside the fire, there were two basins, and one basin was filled with blood. The other basin was clean, and although it was full of blood, its color was a bit lighter.

At this moment, there was a thin layer of ice on the ceiling. Only then did he realize that a cold wind was blowing in from all directions.

He sighed, silently blaming herself for being too careless. Qian Li was severely injured, yet she was living in such a house, it would be weird if she didn't get the cold.

Uncle Li was forty years old, and had already worked in the prison for more than twenty years. He had seen all sorts of scenes, but even so, he was still shocked to see the scene in front of him.

"Yes." A groan came from the bed as Uncle Li quickly walked over. Qian Li's face was pale white, but there was a tinge of red within the white. Uncle Li trembled, secretly blaming himself for being so careless. No matter what, Qian Li was a woman, he could only treat wounds himself.

This was truly his mistake.

However, there were other people who could help or take care of every injured person. Over time, everyone treated being injured as normal, and just forgot, Qian Li was a woman who had just arrived, so the injuries on her body could not be casually seen by other men.

With this thought, he quickly turned around and met his master at the door.

"In such a hurry, where are we going?"

The man was dressed in a black military uniform and had a bamboo hat on his head.

Uncle Li was startled and immediately retreated two steps, "Master."

After greeting her, he then thought about the man's previous question, so he quickly replied, "Qian Li's injuries are too severe, I need to find a woman to help her bandage her wounds."

Hearing that, the man stood still. There was a layer of black cloth under the bamboo hat, so it was not possible to see his appearance clearly. However, Uncle Li could still see him pursing his lips.

"Master, you mean …"

The man didn't say anything as he walked into the room.

The smell of blood in the room made him frown slightly. He walked towards the bed and saw that the woman was curled up into a ball. She was shivering and her lips were trembling rapidly.

"Where are you hurt?"

"Back when I was in the pasture, I was whipped with a reverse hook on my back. My shoulder was branded and my fingers were pinched, and when I fought with the rapist in the prison earlier, it seemed that my injuries were not light. As for the rest, Master saw them yesterday."

The man smiled slightly. Butler, what grievances do you think a person should have in order to not die? "

Uncle Li was startled, then he lowered his head and started to think about the man's words. Under 100 circumstances, if he called him butler, then he could call him Prince.

"Reporting to the Duke, this old servant thinks that Qian Li is a very special woman."

The man took off the bamboo hat on her head and pressed one hand on Qian Li's injured shoulder. Seeing that Qian Li was frowning because of the pain, she used a lot of force and ripped off the clothes on Qian Li's shoulder.

However, at this moment, blood had already completely dyed the white strip of cloth wet. The man tore it off with one hand, and the butler quickly turned around because Qian Li did not have any strength left last night and was not wearing anything under the bandage. After pulling off the strip of cloth, her shoulders, including her collarbone, could be seen.

However, even though the butler was extremely embarrassed, the expression on the man's face was still normal. He glanced at the wound and nodded, "It's indeed very special. It's not easy to defeat so many of my subordinates despite being injured like this."

"Then prince's meaning is …"

"Let's find her a doctor. I want to see just how capable she is." Then, the man looked around, "Find someone to fix this house while you're at it. This wind is really too much of an eyesore."

The butler was startled, he did not understand how the wind could affect his eyes, but after seeing Qian Li who was shivering, he suddenly understood something.

Thus, he smiled and happily hummed a small tune as he went out to do something.

Night fell and Qian Li woke up in pain. There was a strange smell coming from the house. She held her breath and waited. Sure enough, she heard footsteps in the room.

She was in no hurry to open her eyes.

Some thoughts flashed through her mind. She didn't know how long she had slept for, but judging from the light coming from outside the window, it was still night.

A cold and gloomy aura came from his shoulder, and he felt as if he had no clothes on.

Just at this time, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer, following that, her mouth was pinched shut by someone. Qian Li suddenly opened her eyes, and the person in front of her immediately threw her bowl of food.

Ah!

What entered his sight was a 17-18 year old little girl. Beside the fire was an old man. He immediately turned his head to look in his direction after hearing the girl's voice, "You're too timid. It's a good thing I woke up."

"The girl patted her chest, still in a panicked state." Elder sister, why did you suddenly open your eyes? Without reprimanding him, he turned around and walked over to the fire, bringing the old man's medicine bowl back.

The rich smell of herbs pervaded her nose, and Qian Li was late.

"Elder sister, are you worried that the medicine will be too bitter?" But if you don't drink the good medicine and you suffer the pain of having to, you won't be able to recover from the injuries on your body. "

Only now did Qian Li's muddled head gradually regain its clarity. She took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Who are you people? How did you get in? "

That was why Qian Li drank the medicine in one gulp. Of course, no one would specially boil medicine or even take personal care of someone in order to kill him, if these two people were truly harmful to him, hah. How could she still have the chance to live until now?

"Waa, grandpa, you said this medicine is the most bitter, but I didn't even frown when I saw this elder sister drink it."

Qian Li frowned slightly, seeing the old man smile because of the little girl's words, "You didn't even make a sound from such a serious injury, why would you care about it?"

After saying that, the old man looked towards Qian Li and asked, "Am I right, young lady?"

Qian Li did not reply, but the look in her eyes proved everything.

"I was asked by someone to come and take a look. Although there are a lot of wounds, the good thing is that not many of them hurt your bones. I'll give you some medicine so that you can drink it regularly every day. It will quickly heal, however …"

Qian Li lowered her head, only then did she realize that the clothes on her body had been changed again. She glanced at the girl, and the girl smiled as if she understood.

"But what?" She raised her head again. She did not ask who had entrusted her with this task. It was not because she was not interested, but if it was something that someone wanted her to know, then the old man did not need to say it in such a reserved manner.

Since he didn't want her to know, then it would be useless to ask.

"The scar can't be removed."

Hearing this, Qian Li smirked, "Being able to keep her life is already pretty good. Scar or something, it doesn't matter."

In this life, she was no longer the person who put her life on the line for love. She was a person who did not plan to talk about love, and scars didn't matter.

The old man immediately laughed. "No wonder they say you're special. I'm so old, but I've never seen a girl who doesn't care about her looks like you do."

"Everyone has different experiences, so the things that they value will naturally be different. To me …" "Being alive is the most important thing. As for the others, it is good to have them. If they are not, then we will not force them."

I am relieved to hear you say this, I have already left you the medicine, remember to use it, what's to be eaten, it's better that you don't eat spicy food, and I have also prepared some clothes for you, but they are all old clothes of my granddaughter, if you do not mind, you can wear them for now, and as for wounds, don't touch water for now.

Qian Li nodded, expressing that she had already heard it, "I will not say thanks for this great favor, but if there's a need for Qian Li in the future, Qian Li will definitely give it her all."

The elder waved his hand, "Lady taking good care of herself is the greatest reward to us doctors."
