Qian Li reached out his hand, and gave it to the person in front of him.

Those who did not want to cry were not those who loved to cry. However, at this moment, they actually felt like crying.

He thought that it was just a thought, but he didn't think that tears would truly come out.

"It hurts."

Qian Li only said this one word.

Then, he saw a flash of emotion in Gong Ming's eyes. In a daze, his body had already been pulled up by Gong Ming.

As her vision darkened, Qian Li was at a loss of what to do.

Qian Li had been awakened by the cold. When she opened her eyes, there was no one by her side, but Gong Ming's black outer robe was still draped over her body.

His whole body was in extreme pain. She glanced around. It was a cave.

Glimmers danced in her eyes. She discovered that she seemed to have a great affinity with the cave recently, as if she had always been unable to leave it.

However …

Qian Li didn't understand, since Gong Ming was here, then …

Why haven't they left the polar regions yet?

The most important question was, why did Gong Ming, who kept on saying that he was unable to help, suddenly appear?

Could it be that the reason the wolf pack ran away and attacked those people was also because of Gong Ming?

Qian Li sat up, she rubbed between her eyebrows.

No, Wolf Head's attitude towards him seemed to have changed, and he suddenly left because of Gong Ming's appearance.

From the looks of it, those wolves did not seem to have anything to do with Gong Ming …

Just as Qian Li was deep in thought, Gong Ming returned.

Just like last time, he had some herbs and food in his hand.

Thinking back to how she was being unreasonable, Qian Li frowned as she vaguely felt the temperature of her face rising.

It was too late for him to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep. He had no choice but to pretend that he didn't remember anything.

"Mistress?" What are you doing here? "

Her reaction surprised Gong Ming, but he was never the kind of man who would lie to anyone.

He said, "Didn't you already know that I had come?"

Qian Li felt like she almost choked to death, the temperature of her face seemed to have become even hotter.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward, but Hong Ming seemed to be unable to feel it.

"Ah, yes. It's just that I was a little muddle-headed when I got injured earlier. I just woke up, so my brain isn't too clear about what's going on."

This sort of explanation didn't seem to ease the atmosphere.

Gong Ming swept his eyes across Qian Li and said directly.

"You're really badly hurt."

Qian Li nodded, "Are we still in the forest?"

As Gong Ming made the fire bigger, he also placed the food on top of the fire. He even wiped a fresh fruit that he had just picked and gave it to Qian Li.

Only after Qian Li received it did she open her mouth to reply, "Yes."

It was unknown if it was because Gong Ming had picked the fruit himself, but Qian Li only felt that it was incomparably sweet. Even the awkwardness in his heart instantly disappeared.

Therefore, she continued to ask, "I vaguely remember that before she fainted, there were two people by her master's side. What about them?"

"After you fainted, we were chased. They broke up with us on the way."

Qian Li frowned, so that's why she said that she was carried over by Gong Ming along the way?

She carefully looked at Gong Ming, but actually, she could tell that Gong Ming was very careful when he came out.

Not only did he wear a mask, even his clothes had been slightly adjusted. If one were to look at it this way, then his characteristics were actually not very obvious.

But for some reason, when Qian Li saw him riding over, she actually recognized him that quickly.

"Then... "Where is the horse?"

"I was worried that someone would follow me and chase me here, so I lost them along the way."

Qian Li nodded, she had no choice but to admit that this method was indeed very safe.

Actually, that's right, Gong Ming had always been careful and prudent in everything he did. With him around, he wouldn't have to worry too much about anything.

She looked at the person in front of her, eating the fruit.

Actually, those questions from before were not really important. What she really wanted to know was why Gong Ming had come.

But with this kind of question, if Gong Ming did not speak, she would not be able to take the initiative to ask.

After all …

They weren't that familiar with each other, right?

The atmosphere gradually calmed down. Other than the occasional crackling of the firewood, there seemed to be nothing else that could be heard.

Qian Li pursed her lips, feeling that the wounds on her body were starting to hurt again.

"Sssii."

His voice was soft, but Gong Ming heard his.

He swept his gaze towards Qian Li.

"Does the wound hurt?"

Qian Li nodded.

"I've already helped you deal with the injury on your foot. Where else is there any discomfort?"

Qian Li was dressed in bright red clothes the moment she came out, and her fresh blood flowed into her red robes, making him unable to see anything.

Gong Ming himself wasn't one of those men who would casually look at a person's body, so he didn't inspect them either.

"Back and shoulders."

After Qian Li finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and continued, "However, in these two places, it is not convenient for me, so can I trouble Master to stay away for a while?"

Gong Ming did not think too much into it, and immediately nodded, then turned and left.

Qian Li originally thought that he would at least go out for a bit, but since he didn't leave, she naturally couldn't say anything.

She sat up straight. To prevent herself from crying out in pain, she stuffed the fruit into her mouth.

When she took off her clothes, her arms seemed unable to pull back. More importantly, the blood and flesh on her back seemed to be connected. She was unable to take them off.

Moreover, at this moment, just a slight touch was enough to cause excruciating pain.

These actions, which were usually very simple, actually became extremely difficult at this moment.

Qian Li took a deep breath, but the beads of sweat on her forehead were still dripping uncontrollably.

"Hm."

In the end, she was still unable to hold it in. She groaned in pain.

As for Gong Ming, after hearing the voice, he turned around.

Only now did she realize that Qian Li had actually not taken off a single piece of clothing for a long time.

His eyes flickered, looking at Qian Li's pale face, he suddenly understood.

He stood up and walked towards Qian Li.

Qian Li was shocked, with some awkwardness, confusion filled her eyes.

"In this world, no matter how powerful a person is, there are always things that they can't do themselves. For example, without the copper mirror, it's basically impossible for ordinary people like us to be able to treat the wounds on our backs."

As he said that, he had already walked to Qian Li's side.

He followed the direction of the open clothes and saw a dark spot on his shoulder.

"Other than here, where else would you be injured?"

"Back."

He didn't expect that he would be able to get the truth out of it so easily.

Gong Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and went around Qian Li's back.

When he had just received Qian Li, he had encountered a large group of people chasing after him.

Without even having the time to check, he carried Qian Li and jumped onto the horse.

After that, those people were intercepted by the two people beside them.

Because of this, he was able to escape.

Afterwards, being worried that he would be chased by those people, Gong Ming called out to Qian Li non-stop to keep running forward. After abandoning his horse, he finally found this extremely hidden cave after walking for a long distance.

After bringing Qian Li in, he immediately went out to make food for Qian Li.

As a man, he was still too careless.

Moreover, Gong Ming did not have much experience in taking care of people, so there were a lot of things that he did not expect.

So at this moment, seeing the wound on Qian Li's back, he slightly sighed at herself for being so careless.

After all …

He had just been carrying Qian Li and running, yet he did not even see her injuries …

"What are you wearing red for?"

This was the first time Gong Ming ever took the initiative to complain about something.

However, he was also the type of person who cared about face, so he could only brace himself and continue halfway through his sentence.

"If you wore something white, this king would have definitely discovered your wound long ago. That way, I wouldn't need to let you rest on the road with your back against the ground."

Qian Li shook her head, "Everyone has their own style of dressing, isn't it the same for Master? Always dark? "

Gong Ming frowned, the reason he was wearing dark color clothes was because it was difficult for dark color clothes to be discovered after being injured.

When he thought of this, his gaze once again fell on Qian Li's body, and the light in his eyes deepened, so … Was it also because of this that Qian Li was dressed in red?

He didn't want to expose his weakness because he didn't want others to find out that he was hurt. Because the red blood was very similar, because the blood on the red clothes was the least obvious, so … He chose red?

In a trance, Gong Ming seemed to have understood something. It seemed that between and himself, it was actually still … There's something in common, right?

As he thought about it, the corners of Gong Ming's mouth unconsciously curled up.

"The wound looks pretty serious. It might hurt a little. Endure it."

Qian Li had never heard him use such a tone to speak, so she was momentarily stunned.
