Gu Mingyan and Fang Fang Fang came over.
At some point, a piece of the ground had collapsed, forming a steep slope. A pharmacist was holding onto a bloody leg, lying on a fallen tree trunk.
"Someone come quickly!" Gu Mingyan saw that the legs of the medicine farmer were bent unnatural, if she did not handle it properly, then in the future, he would not be able to go up the mountain. The medicine farmer seemed to know it as well, and started crying: "If my legs are crippled, then the whole family will …"
"Stay still, I just picked some herbs to stop the bleeding!" Gu Mingyan immediately placed the medicinal ingredients in the basket on her palm and rubbed them together. Remembering that on the road just now, there was spring water she soaked the handkerchiefs, and the medicinal ingredients were placed into the wet handkerchiefs and were then gently squeezed. She also picked up two small logs to wash clean, then went up the slope and threw the wet handkerchief down.
When the medicine farmer received it, Gu Mingyan threw down the jade bottle that she had added the Qilin's essence into.
Only then did she use her teeth to tear her clothes, wrapping them around her hands and pulling the nearby vines she climbed downwards bit by bit.
"Miss, be careful!" The medicinal farmer at the bottom of the hill could not help but shout out.
Gu Mingyan felt a faint pain in her chest. Before she even reached the bottom, the rain was already pouring down onto her head, she gritted her teeth slightly and increased her speed, but she was completely unaware that a stone managed to cut open her lower leg. She landed beside the medicine farmer and tied one of her legs to a tree trunk, maintaining a fixed position so as not to fall down.
"If you're like this, I'm afraid you're going to get infected. All I can do is to set your bones." She was sweating profusely. Her hands were trembling from the poison, but she still gritted her teeth. After helping him straighten his bones, she used two clean slabs of wood to tie them up to and applied some medicine.
The rain gradually grew heavier, and all the herb farmers on the mountain gathered over.
Gu Mingyan's entire being was as if he was stuck in an ice cellar, her entire body was completely soaked by the rain. Her eyes were hurting from the rain, but she endured the pain of fixing his bones, and after wiping off the rain she tied his hand together with her own. She climbed the vine upwards.
"Hurry up and help!" Fang Fang Fang shouted loudly, and a few medicinal farmers came over to pull at the vines.
The rain was soaking the soil, Gu Mingyan felt a pain in her calves and almost lost her footing.
Duan Chengxuan hurriedly brought his men to catch up to the mountain and saw the scene.
Gu Mingyan's slender body was only holding onto the vine with one hand, while the other hand was still holding onto the medicine farmer who was on the verge of fainting. His eyes in the rain were still brimming with energy, he suddenly jumped off the horse, and half of his body was below the slope, while the other hand was tightly grabbing onto the top of the vine.
The thin girl raised her head in the rain and suddenly laughed out loud. She abruptly took a step forward and loosened her grip on the vine.
Duan Chengxuan's eyes flashed as he grabbed her wrist tightly.
Gu Mingyan laughed out loud in the rain and climbed up the slope while dragging Duan Chengxuan along. She had never experienced such a dangerous situation before, but now that she was standing on this slope and looking at the muddy ground, sand and stones tumbled down. She laughed out loud and said, "My luck is good, he will not die!"
She coughed a few times and laughed as she wanted to check on the condition of the medicine farmer's leg, but Duan Chengxuan grabbed onto her: "You still have a face to smile! Go back with This King! "
Gu Mingyan shook him off, and then pulled up her sticky clothes, kneeling down on one knee, carefully examining Yao Nong's leg, then turned to look at him: "It's raining now, if his wound gets infected on his leg, he'll be crippled, could Your Highness find someone to send him back?"
Seeing that pair of unyielding eyes, Duan Chengxuan only signaled for the rest of the medicine farmers on the mountain to be sent up, then Gu Mingyan smiled and wiped away the tears on his face: "I never thought that the prince would treat the common people so well."
"Shut up! This King has yet to ask about the matter of you leaving the city without permission! " As Duan Chengxuan dragged her down the mountain, her calves started to hurt and her face paled by several degrees. Before she could say anything, Duan Chengxuan directly dragged her down the slope, her calves started to hurt to the point where she couldn't endure it any longer as she exclaimed in a low voice, "Wait …"
Duan Chengxuan ignored her words and when he arrived at a path halfway up the mountain he threw her on the horse. Only then did she realize that her calves were already completely red, Gu Mingyan laughed at herself. This prince treated the common people while but treated her so coldly
When she thought to this point, the good impression she had towards him disappeared completely. She could only apply medicine while on the horse with difficulty and use a wet cloth to tie it up, then grabbed onto the reins helplessly. Seeing that Duan Chengxuan had only instructed his subordinates in the rain from start to finish, he did not do anything to help her, she said fretfully: "I don't know how to ride a horse, do you want me to die in this rain?"
"You can exchange your life for Wan Er's life, as you don't treasure it!" Duan Chengxuan felt that her calves were really too dazzling, he immediately jumped on the horse and sat behind her, hugging her tightly. Her shoulders were trembling, her lips were purple, and with a tug of the reins, he climbed down the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, a carriage had already stopped in the rain.
Duan Chengxuan threw Gu Mingyan inside, causing Gu Mingyan's calves to hurt even more, she only rolled her eyes and tore off the strip of cloth on her leg. The wound wasn't big, but the rain was frightening.
There were still some strips of cloth in the carriage, so she started to handle it carefully.
Duan Chengxuan sat at a corner of the carriage, as raindrops splashed onto the roof of the carriage. He only watched as her hand, which was wrapped in a piece of cloth, was carefully wrapped around the wound on her calves made by the vines, and then, she took out all the jade boxes and cloth bags from her body, inspecting them one by one.
"Why did the prince ascend the mountain today?" Gu Mingyan hugged her shoulders and looked at Duan Chengxuan warily.
Could it be that something happened to Su Yuwan again, and it was her fault? But if something really were to happen to her, the current Duan Chengxuan would probably tear her into two.
"This king fears that you will disregard the lives of the Gu family members and flee without authorization." Duan Chengxuan's eyes turned cold, he took out a clean set of clothes and changed out of his wet clothes, as though he did not care that Gu Mingyan's entire body was drenched.
"Fleeing? Do I need to run away with my tail between my legs? " Gu Mingyan scoffed, she felt that she deserved it. The one who wanted to take her heart's blood was him, and the one who wanted to kill her was also Duan Chengxuan.
"On the other hand, your highness, who married me only for my heart's blood, and who in turn blamed me for seizing your wangfei's position. Don't you owe me even more?" Gu Mingyan was still hugging her arms, a smile on her face, but the cold light in her eyes continued to provoke every single one of Duan Chengxuan's nerves.
In the next moment, Duan Chengxuan was already fiercely strangling her. His eyes turned scarlet: "If it wasn't for you borrowing your background to marry this duke …"
"Then didn't Your Highness agree for Su Yuwan!" Gu Mingyan grabbed his wrist, holding back her breath, she squeezed out a few words.
