"Yiyi, come back!"

Chen Xuan hurriedly called out to Xiao Yiyi, "It's very dangerous outside now, going out is like courting death!"

"But brother-in-law, the antidote serum is in the bag. I misplaced it, I must find it back."

"Without the antidote serum, how am I going to detoxify you..."

Xiao Yiyi looked utterly distressed and deeply blamed herself.

Chen Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "No worries, I'll figure out a way to detoxify."

As he spoke, he took out a lighter, heated a dagger, and directly sliced open the skin where the snake had bitten.

In an instant, the foul blood flowed out.

Xiao Yiyi immediately understood, "Brother-in-law, I'll help you!"

She swiftly rushed over, knelt down, and sucked the poisonous blood with her mouth.

"Yiyi, stop! This is very dangerous; if you're not careful, you'll be poisoned too!" Chen Xuan urgently shouted to stop her.

However, Xiao Yiyi continued to suck the blood and spit it out on the ground.

Only when all the foul blood was sucked clean did Xiao Yiyi finally relent.

"Brother-in-law, are you feeling a bit better?" Xiao Yiyi asked anxiously.

Chen Xuan forced a bitter smile, "Yiyi, it's really hard on you."

Xiao Yiyi shook her head incessantly, "Brother-in-law, it's all because of me bringing trouble to you."

"If it weren't for you protecting me, you wouldn't have been injured so severely, nor bitten by a venomous snake."

"I feel so useless, always dragging you down..."

Chen Xuan felt helpless at this moment, though it was true; if Xiao Yiyi hadn't come along, he definitely wouldn't be in such a messy situation.

But now that things had reached this point, blaming Xiao Yiyi was meaningless.

"Don't be disheartened, and don't overly blame yourself; take a quick rest."

Chen Xuan waved his hand slightly.

"Brother-in-law, your leg is still bleeding, let me bandage it for you."

Xiao Yiyi tore her top and used it as a bandage.

"There's still a bullet inside; it must be removed." Chen Xuan halted her.

Ah?

Xiao Yiyi felt troubled, "Brother-in-law, how do we remove the bullet? We have... nothing here."

Chen Xuan chuckled and repeatedly heated the dagger with the lighter, "Yiyi, you'd better turn away."

Hmm?

Xiao Yiyi's eyes widened, was brother-in-law going to do it directly?

No anesthesia, that must be... so painful!

Chen Xuan plunged the dagger into the wound, gouging out the bullet.

Throughout the process, Chen Xuan didn't make a sound, only the muscles on his face tightened.

Sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

The ferocious bullet extraction made Xiao Yiyi feel queasy, her stomach churning.

But she held it together, "Brother-in-law, I'll bandage you up."

"Not yet, it needs disinfecting; otherwise, the wound might get infected." Chen Xuan raised his hand to stop her again.

Xiao Yiyi was immediately at a loss, "Without antiseptic, how do we disinfect?"

"I have a way! You'd better not watch."

Chen Xuan bit down on a tree branch he broke off with his mouth.

He used the dagger to cut open a bullet, scattering the gunpowder onto the wound.

Finally, he lit it with the lighter.

Sizzle~~

Chen Xuan convulsed several times, teeth clenching onto the branch, his forehead veins bulging.

His mouth only made slight noises, enduring the excruciating pain forcibly.

Xiao Yiyi was stunned, the words 'tough guy' sprang to her mind.

Before, she didn't quite understand what a tough guy was.

What makes a real tough guy?

Now she understood!

Brother-in-law Chen Xuan, is the real tough guy!

Chen Xuan panted heavily, "Yiyi, I'm badly injured now, I can't protect you."

"If they find us here, it could be disastrous. Seize the moment and escape with the Life-restoring Grass."

"No! I won't leave you, escaping alone!"

Xiao Yiyi's eyes were firm, "Brother-in-law, I didn't come here out of playfulness; I followed you into the mountains for the Life-restoring Grass."

"I just wanted to be with you alone, because I have completely fallen for you!"

"Yiyi, you're speaking nonsense again." Chen Xuan looked at her sternly.

Xiao Yiyi shook her head, "This time I'm very serious; I know what I'm saying and don't want to hide anymore."

"Perhaps you and I will both die here, but I'm not afraid at all! As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of death!"

"Brother-in-law, I will not escape alone! Either we walk out of the mountains alive together, or we die here together!"

Seeing Xiao Yiyi's gaze so resolute, Chen Xuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Inside, he could only sigh helplessly, yet it was rare and touching to see Xiao Yiyi's genuine affection for him.

"Look over there, they definitely haven't run far!"

"This time we must take that kid down!"

At that moment, noises came from outside.

Xiao Yiyi's expression instantly filled with tension, "Brother-in-law, they've found us..."
