Chapter 268: A Dilemma
After Xue Fanxin treated Ah Wei’s wound, she used needles and thread to st.i.tch it up. Then, she instructed him on some things to take note of before putting the unused medicine and tools back into her s.p.a.ce.
Gu Jinyuan asked worriedly, “Xin’er, will Ah Wei’s arm recover?”
Ah Wei also wanted to know the answer. After all, his arm was very important. As a follower and guard, how could he protect the Young Master without his arm?
This was equivalent to ruining his life.
“Don’t worry. As long as he is treated appropriately in the later stages, I guarantee that his arm will recover. But during this period of time, you have to be careful. You can’t move around, nor can you touch water. You can’t eat things that are cold and spicy, in case it agitates the wound and worsens it.”
!!
Gu Jinyuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. “As long as it’s okay.”
“Don’t worry. With me around, all injuries and illnesses can be healed,” Xue Fanxin said a few words to liven up the atmosphere, then asked, “Gu Jinyuan, what happened just now?”
Gu Jinyuan shook his head and sighed. “We don’t know what’s going on either. We only know that such a powerful gale will blow from time to time. Many people from the four great clans have died in this strange gale. Their deaths let us know the importance of the stone houses, making them very precious. As life-saving treasures, the four great clans won’t easily give them to others.”
When he first came here, the four great clans were also unwilling to give him a stone house. He had to put up quite a few things for exchange. Only then were the four great clans willing to give him a stone house.
Xiao Muyan was the same. In order to obtain a stone house, he had taken out all his trump cards.
After Xue Fanxin understood the ins and outs of the matter, she was even more aware of how difficult it was for Gu Jinyuan to be here. Looking at his thin and experienced appearance and Ah Wei’s malnutrition, she could tell that they had not had a full meal in a long time.
Being trapped in such a place, if there was no food, even if they were not killed by the terrifying wind outside, they would still die.
Everything here was controlled by the four great clans. It was really, really difficult for Gu Jinyuan and Ah Wei to survive. Perhaps all the good things on them had been plundered by the four great clans. They might even be worrying about their next meal.
“How long will this wind last?” Listening to the howling outside the window, Xue Fanxin was concerned that the wooden board would not last for long. After all, the gale was terrifying.

“At least a day, at most three,” Gu Jinyuan said with a worried expression as if he had something difficult to say, but he was too embarra.s.sed to say it.
If they had sufficient food, they would be fine even if they were trapped in the stone room for a few days. The problem was that their food reserves were empty, yet they were still hungry. If they had to starve for two to three days, they really could not live such a life!
Xue Fanxin was smart, and the expression on Gu Jinyuan’s face was so obvious. If she did not see any clues, then she had grown a pair of eyes for nothing.
“You must be hungry. I have some snacks here. Eat them first. After I’m done, I’ll make you a feast.”
When Xue Fanxin took out the snacks, Ah Wei took them from her without even thinking. However, he did not eat them himself but handed them to Gu Jinyuan. “Young Master, eat them first. It’s my fault for being useless. I couldn’t catch a fish for two days and made you hungry.”
Gu Jinyuan knew that it was awkward to say this, but no matter what, it was better than starving to death.
“Xin’er, the food here is very important. You just came, so you must have some food on you. You must eat sparingly. If not for this young man’s strength, I’m afraid the four great clans would have forced you to take out your food.”
He had also received similar treatment.
If he could get out of here alive, he would make the people of the four great families, especially those here, feel his wrath.
