Chapter 724: People Have Very Different Experiences
The setting sun shone down on the sky. The pale golden light looked extremely gentle, but also extremely sad.
Su Wan ran to the riverside. She bent down and carefully began to pick the herbs.
Because her grandfather liked Chinese medicine and hated Western medicine, Su Wan basically did not eat Western medicine when she was young. According to Su Heng, Western medicine treated the symptoms, but not the root cause.
Thanks to Su Heng, Su Wan knew a lot about Chinese herbs when she was young.
She just did not expect that the little knowledge she had in the past could still be used in this wilderness today.
Su Wan firmly believed that she was not mistaken. Those herbs were used to stop bleeding. The only thing Su Wan prayed for was that the medicinal properties of these plants had not changed after so many years of evolution.
After Su Wan picked the herbs, she then placed them on the green stone. She picked up a small stone and washed it, then crushed the herbs into a ball.
“Are you sure this is useful?”
Seeing Su Wan pouring out the green plant juice, Ming Ye frowned slightly and glanced at Su Wan suspiciously.
“I’m sure and certain… but that was when I was on Earth. You know that it was many, many years ago…”
Su Wan looked at Ming Ye sternly. In fact, she was also feeling a little guilty. As she spoke, her voice became softer.
“How about this? If you’re really worried about the mutation of the medicine, we won’t apply the herbs.”
After saying this, Su Wan looked embarra.s.sed. She stared at her hand that was stained with green juice.
“Actually, my front instep was also scratched! How about this? I’ll try it on myself first. After an hour, if there’s no problem, I’ll give it to you again?”
Su Wan’s eager voice sounded in Ming Ye’s ears. His expression changed slightly, and his tightly clenched hands slowly loosened.
A pair of bewitching eyes locked tightly onto Su Wan, not missing the seriousness in Su Wan’s eyes.
Was she trying to test the medicine for him?
This answer suddenly popped up in Ming Ye’s mind, and his body suddenly trembled!
For some reason, the more relaxed and natural Su Wan said it, the more Ming Ye felt that there was a big stone pressing on his heart, so heavy that he could not breathe.
Yet, he was willing to do it.
Seeing that Su Wan had tied up her leg and pants with one hand and was about to apply the green herbal juice on the back of her feet, Ming Ye did not even think before he spoke without thinking.
“No, you can just apply the medicine on me directly! Since those are for me, don’t waste them.”
Su Wan did not even raise her head and subconsciously retorted.
“I only tried a little on the instep of my foot, and there are many more by the river. I shouldn’t have taken your life as a joke…”
However, Ming Ye directly pulled Su Wan up.
“Don’t worry, for someone with my physique, if this kind of medicinal herb can hurt me, then I’ll be laughing my a.s.s off.”
Ming Ye said it lightly, directly skimming over his nightmare-like experiences.
Applying some medicinal herbs was nothing. He once had blood worms injected directly into his blood. The pain of thousands of ants biting his heart made him think that death was nothing more than this.
And those animals just wanted to see if there would be any changes to this “humanoid machine” that was him.
Ha, such a ridiculous reason.
Perhaps it would be better to just die.
It was just that the days he spent in the laboratory were unbearable to recall. However, he could not forget it every time he recalled it in his dreams at midnight.
Therefore, he had ten thousand reasons to kill those inhumane animals!
…
Su Wan was stunned. She looked up and saw that Ming Ye was looking at her indifferently, but his expression was unquestionable.
With this kind of tyrannical personality, Ming Ye was very similar to Jiang Xuecheng.
When Su Wan thought of Jiang Xuecheng, her original persistence instantly vanished. She sighed and decided not to fight with Ming Ye anymore.
“Alright then, take off your s.h.i.+rt.”
Ming Ye nodded and neatly took off his clothes that were stained with water gra.s.s and mud.
Su Wan brought some water with banana leaves and carefully wiped the wound on Ming Ye’s left shoulder.
Ming Ye looked about the same size as Jiang Xuecheng. Su Wan could not understand why Ming Ye looked so old!
It was not that he looked old, but he gave people a sense of despair and emptiness.
Moreover, Ming Ye’s body was also very terrifying. Although he had high-purity Dragon’s Blood and a strong recovery ability, Su Wan still saw all kinds of wounds on Ming Ye’s body.
Some were bleeding, some were cutting across the entire back, and some were very shallow. However, it was not difficult to see the miserable state of the injuries at that time.
People with similar conditions have very different experiences.
Su Wan was now more and more curious about Ming Ye’s ident.i.ty, but this man refused to reveal the slightest bit of it.
Realizing that she was distracted, Su Wan quickly cast aside those miscellaneous thoughts and carefully applied medicine on Ming Ye.
Ming Ye slightly pursed his lips and fixed his gaze on Su Wan’s side profile.
When Su Wan applied the medicine, her expression was quiet and serious. His face was reflected in her clear almond-shaped eyes.
In fact, Su Wan’s current situation was also very awkward. Her hair that was soaked with water stuck to her cheeks. The tears in her eyes had not yet subsided, and there were beads of sweat on her fair forehead.
But for some reason, Ming Ye suddenly blurted out.
“Su Wan, has anyone ever told you that you’re very good-looking?”
Ming Ye’s voice was very natural. His tone was calm, and it did not seem like he was praising her. It was as if he was saying that the sunset today was really beautiful. He was simply stating a fact.
“Is… is that so?”
When Su Wan heard this, her hand trembled violently, and she almost spilled the remaining herbs on the ground.
Su Wan’s expression instantly became a little lost. She was not a stupid person and immediately realized that Ming Ye might really have some feelings for her. The two of them should keep a little distance.
Ever since she lost her child, Su Wan had left Jiang Xuecheng, but she had never thought of being with anyone else.
If Ming Ye was really Jiang Xuecheng’s brother, then their ident.i.ties would be too awkward.
Su Wan’s expression turned cold, and she quickly changed the topic.
“My hair is coa.r.s.e and messy now. Ming Ye, don’t make me doubt your taste. Okay, look, your medicine is done.”
After Su Wan said that, she immediately withdrew her hand.
Feeling the gentle touch on his shoulder suddenly disappear, Ming Ye was startled, and his fingers silently tightened.
“Su Wan, are you afraid of me?”
Ming Ye turned his head and glanced at the setting sun in the sky. His voice was cold and distant.
Su Wan was silent for a moment and then shook her head.
Jiang Xuecheng had asked her this question before, but the answer was obvious. She was really afraid of Jiang Xuecheng from the bottom of her heart. However, if it was Ming Ye, the two of them could still treat each other as ordinary friends.
Su Wan did not know that Ming Ye was such a person who lacked love. She also did not know that her simple application of medicine could make Ming Ye think so much.
However, in reality, Ming Ye just lacked someone to care for him.
“Is that so?”
Ming Ye laughed self-deprecatingly and suddenly stood up.
“I’ll go find some food.”
After saying this, Ming Ye left.
