It was really hot... Under the light of the fire, Yun Nian's long and thin eyebrows were wrinkled together, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

"But has the injury become serious? Dai Yu once said that if a fever develops after an injury, it is a life-threatening situation."

Judging from Wei Qingjue's condition, his injury might be getting worse.

His eyes were tightly closed, and sweat was all over his forehead, flowing down his cheeks, sliding into his collarbone and then slowly moving down.

"Your face is so red too."

She touched Wei Qingjue's face with the back of her hand. The burning temperature made her feel uneasy. Perhaps her hand was too cold. The unconscious man came up to her regardless and rubbed his face against hers.

"Don't go..."

Yun Nian was about to stand up and take his coat when he grabbed her wrist.

How can a sick person have so much strength?

She was somewhat helpless and could only whisper softly in his ear,

"Can you please let me go first? I'll be back soon."

But how could a person who had fainted have any rationality? Wei Qingjue refused to let go no matter what he said. He just held her wrist tightly, and his hot breath hit Yun Nian's side again and again.

The flame was about to go out. If even this little flame disappeared, the cave would become completely dark, and the surrounding wild animals might even come closer.

Of course, the most important thing is that the cold may make Wei Qingjue's injuries worse.

There was no other way, so Yun Nian had to use an awkward posture, stretching out the hand that was not caught, and carefully threw the scattered branches nearby into the flames.

She looked out of the cave entrance. The moonlight seemed to be blocked by clouds. She could not see any light or shadow. She could only hear some rustling sounds. She didn't know whether they were insects or wild animals.

"I can't get out... Even if I get out, I don't know the herbs that can heal my wounds..."

Unfortunately, Qin didn't come down with him, and even the sound of the piano couldn't make him feel a little better.

"It's so cold..."

Although her body was burning, the man behind her was still shouting in a daze. He loosened Yun Nian's hand slightly and grabbed the stone wall in the cave, as if he wanted to pick all the stones off.

"leave me alone."

Just as Yun Nian looked back, Wei Qingjue seemed to have finally regained some consciousness. His eyes were half-raised, and his deep dark green eyes kept shaking, hiding something repressed.

"Don't come near me, you might get hurt."

The intense pain seemed to make him speechless. He exerted force with his hands and even the cracked stone was pulled off by him, falling onto the dry ground.

It was really too painful. Wei Qingjue didn't know that his damn father would not let him go until his death. The wound he left behind was more painful than any other death crisis.

The burning pain tortured him all the time, as if he was being roasted by fire. If he hadn't been concerned about Yun Nian, he would have been unable to control his violent actions.

"How do you feel now? Does the wound hurt? How can I help you?"

Yun Nian did not leave, nor did she panic. Instead, she tried to calmly put her coat on him quickly, rolled him up, and then held his hand.

"We are now on the same boat. If you die, I will never be able to find the way home by myself. I might even die before others find us."

She took a deep breath, and her bright eyes now held a hint of pleading.

"So, don't stand by yourself, okay? If you need herbs, tell me what they look like and I'll go find them. If you need hot water, I'll go get some water from the stream right now..."

How could he not bear it alone? Just seeing the girl he liked frowning was heartbreaking enough. Wei Qingjue was in extreme pain.

I actually had the leisure to think whether this counted as Yun Nian's concern, regardless of whether there was something else involved.

"Ahem, help me up."

He held Yun Nian's hand, leaned slightly against the stone wall behind him, sat up, and then panted heavily. It seemed that this simple action had exhausted all his strength.

"Take this."

He placed the dagger into Yun Nian's palm, and then slowly tore off the bandage, revealing the hideous and rotten wound inside.

"Oh my god...how could this happen?"

Mist suddenly spread from Yun Nian's eyes. She held the dagger in one hand and covered her mouth with the other. The wound now looked even more terrifying than the previous hole.

The skin turned from bright red to a darker color, and it was hard to tell whether it was scab or suppuration. In the firelight, the shadows seemed to become less clear.

"it's me……"

"It's not because of the bandage, ahem!"

Before Yun Nian could finish her words, Wei Qingjue interrupted her. He pressed his wound and shook his head.

"If you hadn't helped me stop the blood from spreading, it might have been even more serious. But now, I need your help, Yun Nian."

When he called out the girl's name, it was full of tenderness and affection, which he himself did not even notice. He just looked at her with indulgence and hope.

"Cut off the rotten flesh, and the wound will heal slowly. I really don't have the strength left."

Of course he knew that this was cruel, especially for a woman who had rarely seen bloody scenes.

He knew that some women would turn pale and faint at the mere sight of a little blood. If he could still hold the dagger, he would never force Yun Nian to do such a thing.

"Well, should I put the dagger on the fire first?"

Unexpectedly, Yun Nian's expression was very calm. She held the knife with both hands and looked at him without blinking.

"That's good. It will be quick when we get started."

As expected, she was worthy of being the woman he liked. Even though she looked soft, kind and timid, she was able to shoulder the crisis of life and death alone. She was not as weak as she looked.

Yes, how could the girl who stood on the battlefield of Jisha City all the way east and fought side by side with the soldiers be the same as an ordinary person?

Wei Qingjue laughed softly, and coughed again due to the pain from the wound.

Yun Nian placed the dagger on the flame. The red flames were transmitted to the dagger. It felt as if the handle of the dagger was getting hot and the blade was also turning red.

In just a few breaths, she slowly approached the hideous wound with the dagger.

"Maybe you don't know how painful it is yet, just bear with it."

There was a little pity in her eyes, but more of determination, and she slashed the rotten flesh with the blade.
