Her white inner robes had been dyed red. But the most shocking sight was the stone shard that was sticking out of her abdomen and the fresh blood that was seeping from her wound.
“When did you get hurt? Why didn’t you say anything? Master, Master?” Old White called out in a trembling voice, not daring to shout any louder for fear of attracting that person’s attention. It trembled as it opened the cap of the medicine bottle and sprinkled the medicine over her wound.
“That won’t do! She will die! That piece of stone must be removed, but I can’t do it!” It circled Feng Jiu anxiously, unable to think of a solution.
It paced around anxiously. There was no one nearby and its Master was unconscious, what should it do? If this were to drag on any longer, even if she hadn’t been killed, she would also eventually bleed to death. It didn’t dare to take her away now as it was afraid that any sudden movement would worsen her injuries.
Old White exhaled irritably from its snout, and after a final thought, it approached Feng Jiu and shouted: “Little Tiger, come out! Come out quickly!”
In s.p.a.ce, White Tiger turned into a ray of light and flashed out. As it rarely came out of s.p.a.ce, when it saw Feng Jiu unconscious and covered in blood, its eyes burst out with a fierce light: “How did Master get so seriously injured?”
“I’ll tell you later. Right now, Master is seriously injured and there is a sharp stone shard pierced into her abdomen. You stay here and stand guard while I go and see if anyone is nearby. The most important thing is to get that thing out of Master’s abdomen first.”
Old White said, then it looked over and then in the next moment, it disappeared not far away. After it had collected some weeds, it brought them back and covered Feng Jiu. Then, it told White Tiger to guard their Master and left quickly.
The little white tiger those years ago had already grown into a majestic beast now. It shrank its body and stayed by Feng Jiu’s side, watching everything around them vigilantly and waited for its friend to come back.
This place was at the bottom of a hill in the dense forest and was covered by weeds. It was a good place to hide and for the time being, was considered safe.
Some distance away, a figure wearing servant clothes was squatting by the stream was.h.i.+ng her hands. After she had finished was.h.i.+ng her hands, she retrieved a water bag from s.p.a.ce and filled it up with water. She seemed to be in a good mood as she sat on a stone by the stream and hummed a tune.
She took out some herbs from s.p.a.ce and washed them and counted everything as she did so, while muttering at the same time: “This should be enough to last a long time!”
After she put everything away, she held her chin with one hand and thought to herself: After walking for so many days, I wonder if I will have to search all over the city again? Should I go back?
When she thought of this, her eyebrows furrowed and there was a struggle in her eyes. Just when she was about to stand up, a gust of wind came from behind her. Immediately afterwards, something hit the back of her head hard and she felt a pain in her head, then her vision went dark and she fainted.
Old White glanced at the unconscious human being with some disdain. It was obvious that she was a woman at first glance, but she was wearing servant’s clothes and dressed like a man. Her face was painted gray so it was hard to see what she looked like. Old White had no idea who this person was, but it had no other choice at that moment.
After Old White took the person away, it quickly returned to where it had left Feng Jiu and saw White Tiger who was lying amongst the weeds jumped out and stared at the unconscious human being warily.
