Du Jinse helped Shi Er get the medicine ready and bandaged his wounds, then struggled to help him up.
"Your injuries are very serious. We need to find a place with other people and find a doctor for you."
If he got infected in this kind of weather, it would be very serious.
With the medical skills here, very few people can survive after infection.
Shi Er nodded his head, "It's just that someone like us will scare others away."
Du Jinse frowned, what he said was very reasonable.
Du Jinse hesitated, as though she had finally made up her mind, "Wait here."
Shi Er saw that Du Jinse stood up and was about to leave, so he anxiously asked: Are you going to abandon me?
Du Jinse looked at him speechlessly. She was clearly tall and strong, why was she so against the rules when she said those words? Yet when she met Shi Er's eyes, she could not refute him.
"I heard the sound of running water over there. I'm going to wash my face."
Wash your face?
Shi Er's heart was moved.
He knew that Du Jinse was a person who would disguise herself. Things that disguise themselves, were mostly things that were afraid of water.
Was she trusting him? Thus, he didn't mind revealing his true colors in front of him.
Shi Er looked at Du Jinse deeply.
"Hurry up and come back."
Du Jinse felt that it was a little strange. The tone of his voice sounded as if they were very familiar with each other.
Washing the makeup off his face, Du Jinse touched her own skin, extended his hand out and wiped off the dirt on his face, casually wiping it back.
"I'm back." From a distance, Du Jinse greeted first.
Shi Er raised his head, a look of astonishment flashing across his eyes.
Although Du Jinse purposely dirtied her face, it was still unable to cover up her elegant face.
Du Jinse touched her face, Shi Er's reaction was within her expectations.
"This way, we can go to someone else for help. We shouldn't be denied entry."
Shi Er turned his head with difficulty, his ears were inexplicably red, as he softly uttered a "En".
Du Jinse supported him up with much effort.
"Let's put the words together first. If you're the older brother, then it's Shi Er. What's your surname?"
Du Jinse gasped for breath and asked.
Shi Er was silent for a moment, "I do not have a surname."
He suddenly felt inferior, afraid that Du Jinse would ask him for his surname.
Du Jinse nodded her head in understanding, "Then let's go by the surname Du, siblings can't possibly come up with two surnames."
After saying this, Du Jinse felt that it was a little strange — — Du Shier.
Should her little sister be called Du Shiniang?
It really did look like the names of siblings.
"Just call me Mo Mo."
Du Jinse was confused.
Du Jinse was a name that she could no longer use, and for the time being, she could not think of any good name. It was as Li Hao had said, everything from the past, to her, was already a foreign name.
"Mo Mo."
Shi Er said.
"What is it?" Du Jinse replied.
Shi Er pointed forward, "There's a family over there."
When Du Jinse heard it, she was spirited for a moment before helping Shi Er to walk over.
After knocking for a while, an old granny came out from the door, looking at the two of them with a bewildered expression.
Du Jinse revealed a smile. "Granny, we siblings encountered bandits on our way, so we rolled down the hill to escape. It was just that my brother was heavily injured …"
When she said till here, Du Jinse felt the world spinning around him, and she leaned backwards.
It was all thanks to Shi Er's quick eyes and hands that he managed to reach out and hug Du Jinse. Mo Mo, Mo Mo. "
Upon seeing this, the old granny hurriedly rushed into the room and shouted, "Head! Old man, quickly come out!"
When Du Jinse woke up, the old granny revealed a toothless smile.
"Miss, you're awake."
Du Jinse struggled to get up.
The old woman quickly put her hand on her shoulder.
"Rest well. My old man has already helped him deal with your brother's injuries. In the end, this young man's body is strong, so it's fine. However, it's you who's been frightened …"
The old granny spoke endlessly.
Du Jinse was a little confused at first, but only after listening for a long time did she understand.
"Where's my brother?"
Du Jinse asked.
"He went to gather herbs from my old man." The old granny pursed her lips and smiled.
Du Jinse laid on the bed, "This is …"
Why was she so weak?
"It's okay, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine. You're quite vicious as well. Your brother is tall and strong, so how did you grind your teeth and persevere for such a long distance?"
Looking at the girl's thin and weak body, he really did not expect her to have this kind of tenacity.
Du Jinse smiled and did not speak.
At that time, she had only done it in one go, but now that she thought about it, she felt like she had to doubt herself. Was that really her?
She had the strength?
"Old woman, old woman."
The old grandpa's old voice came from outside.
The grandma stood up with a smile. "They've returned. It seems that their harvest was not bad. You should rest first, I'll go take a look."
Not long after the old granny left, Shi Er opened the curtain and entered. He stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then walked over.
Du Jinse locked eyes with him.
"Are you okay?" Du Jinse was the first to break the silence.
Shi Er nodded.
"It's just some external injuries. On the other hand, you …"
Du Jinse grinned, "We are now even."
Shi Er was startled, then slowly said, "Yes, we're even."
In his heart, however, he said that he originally wanted to be even, but she didn't abandon him and left by herself, so he owed her again.
However, seeing how Du Jinse was itching to draw a clear line between them, he could only follow what she said.
After Du Jinse heard this, her expression was at ease.
As a person, she hated owing anything to others.
"Miss, please get up and drink some medicine." The grandma came in with a bowl of medicine.
Du Jinse was startled, "Mine?"
It's just that I got a little scared, do I need to drink any medicine? She wasn't a child.
Shi Er took the pill from the old granny's hand, "Let me do it."
The old granny chuckled, "The relationship between you siblings is really good."
She looked more like a runaway lover, but if they said brother and sister, then so be it.
A young man would be embarrassed if he was so thin-skinned.
"You siblings must have a lot of things to say after surviving the calamity. Granny, I won't accompany you. I'll go get something to eat first."
Although the old granny had lost her front teeth, her body was still fine.
Shi Er watched the old granny go out, then placed the medicine bowl on the table. He sat beside Du Jinse and helped her up.
Du Jinse recalled the stench on her body and her expression became somewhat ugly, "I have something to ask of you."
Shi Er raised his eyebrows at her.
Du Jinse said a prescription, "The old granny and grandpa had the kindness of taking us in, but I messed up their luggage."
One should not have the intention to harm others, and one should not lack the intention to guard against others.
She wasn't intentionally protecting herself from Shi Er, she was just removing the makeup on her face, which was the same as removing a layer of defense. Naturally, she couldn't remove the stench on her body.
Who knows what else will happen to them?
After speaking of the prescription, Du Jinse felt drowsy. Her eyelids felt heavy.
"It's good that you're awake." Shi Er stirred the medicinal juice on the spoon as he spoke.
Du Jinse forced herself to raise her eyelids and look at him, but did not say a word.
She didn't know that this body would be so delicate.
"I left some silver for the old grandpa and the others, they will take care of you."
Shi Er tried the temperature of the medicine, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to Du Jinse's lips.
Du Jinse tried to raise her arm, but she did not, and could only allow himself to be served.
Shi Er hesitated for a moment, "I need to go, the old granny and the others are very kind, they will definitely take care of you until you recover."
Du Jinse's spirit had been in a state of depression, but whatever Shi Er said, she tried her best to concentrate, but she was still in a daze.
Shi Er looked at her and she responded with an "Oh".
Shi Er was a little disappointed. He thought that Du Jinse would ask, but in the end, she didn't.
