Chapter 73 You said the same thing last time

Chen Xi gradually opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark, and the forest night was bitingly cold. However, the warmth in his arms gave him a sense of comfort.

"Are you awake? Are you okay?"

A pleasant female voice rang in his ears. Chen Xi knew it was Shen Xinyi. There was a faint fragrance exuding from the other person's body. He Can feel it clearly.

"Well, I'm fine." Chen Xi responded.

"Why are you here? Are you lost? Where are the others?" Shen Xinyi's heart was filled with many questions.

"That's right. I don't know where the others are now. You are not injured."

Chen Xi asked the other party with concern, although neither of them could see the other person's expression. , but from his anxious tone, Shen Xinyi could still feel his nervousness and worry, which made her feel warm in her heart.

Why does he care so much about me?

Immediately, her face turned slightly red.

"The ankle is injured and the calf seems to be scratched." Shen Xinyi said softly.

"Squeak~"

At this time, there was another animal sound around, it should be the Tasmanian devil. The two people immediately held their breath and did not dare to make any movement.

Chen Xi and Shen Xinyi’s hearts beat violently, and their nervousness was self-evident.

Tasmanian devils like to come out at night, and their ability to capture stationary objects is relatively weak.

He recalled his previous knowledge of this animal in his mind, and the idea of staying up until dawn gradually came into his mind.

As long as they can persist until dawn, they have a chance to escape the attack of this animal.

"Chi~Chi~"

The voice was getting closer and closer to them. Shen Xinyi's body kept shaking. Chen Xi felt her fear and hugged her tightly. live.

“Hmm~”

The close contact between the two and the trembling of Shen Xinyi's body caused severe pain in her ankle. The wound on her leg was also rubbed by Chen Xi's leg, which made her sigh softly.

At this time, Chen Xi noticed something strange in the Tasmanian Devil's voice, and quickly lowered his head and blocked Shen Xinyi's mouth, telling her not to speak.

Shen Xinyi's mind suddenly went blank and her whole body began to stiffen.

The two of them hugged each other like this, and when the sounds in their ears gradually disappeared, they felt as if a century had passed.

“Hu~hu~”

"Huh~"

After a long time, their lips quickly separated and they began to breathe heavily.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Chen Xi said with a guilty conscience.

"You said the same thing last time."

At this time, Chen Xi couldn't see Shen Xinyi's expression, but he could feel a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"No, this is good. I'm a little cold."

Just when Chen Xi was about to let go of her, Shen Xinyi stopped him.

"Uh."

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then responded. Shen Xinyi's words seemed to make sense.

The two slightly adjusted their postures, changing from Chen Xi's one-sided embrace to embracing each other. This action inevitably caused their wounds to collide.

"Does it hurt you?"

"Pfft~"

They spoke almost at the same time, their concern for each other was beyond words, and then Then they all chuckled.

"You should sleep for a while. I will call you if necessary." Chen Xi said softly, with a soft and warm tone.

"But..." When Shen Xinyi was still hesitating, Chen Xi stretched out a hand to caress the back of her head and gently pressed her head against his chest.

This action made Shen Xinyi feel a warm current welling up in her heart. She did not speak anymore, but closed her eyes silently, with a happy smile on her face.

In this quiet moment, their heartbeats and breathing intertwined, echoing in the silent air.

Shen Xinyi found comfort and strength in Chen Xi's arms, and Chen Xi also felt warm and courageous in Shen Xinyi's company.

Time passed unconsciously, and the surrounding light gradually became brighter. Chen Xi realized that it was almost dawn, and he understood that he must find the large army as soon as possible.

After a while, Chen Xi gently woke up Shen Xinyi. She opened her hazy eyes. Under the morning light, her face looked a little pale and her lips were dry and cracked. It was obvious that Weak and dehydrated.

"Come, drink some water." Chen Xi took out the little mineral water he carried, opened the bottle cap and fed Shen Xinyi.

“Take this.”

He took out another Panadol. The current ingredients of this medicine are different from future versions. It has a stronger analgesic effect, but it is There is also some damage to the body.

Therefore, the formula of subsequent drugs was adjusted.

"Be patient, I'll check you first."

Chen Xi took off Shen Xinyi's shoes and socks, put the snow-white jade feet on the palm of his hand, and looked at He couldn't help but frown when he saw the purple and swollen ankle.

He rolled up the other party's trousers again and saw a few wounds on Shen Xinyi's calf. Although they didn't look very deep, the red marks on her legs and trousers looked like bleeding at first glance. A lot of blood was drawn.

"Be patient."

Chen Xi quickly untied his jacket and pulled off his T-shirt. In front of Shen Xinyi, he tore the clothes open without hesitation, then tied them skillfully and fixed them around Shen Xinyi's ankles.

Fortunately, there were no wounds on his ankle, so he didn't need to worry too much about infection.

"You have many injuries on your body. You will catch a cold if you take off your clothes like this..."

Looking at the large and small wounds on Chen Xi's body, Shen Xinyi felt mixed emotions in her heart. These are all for He stayed behind to save her.

"It's okay, they are just minor wounds. I'm not afraid of the cold." Chen Xi smiled comfortingly at her.

"Do you have any sanitary napkins?" He thought for a moment and asked.

“Huh?”

Shen Xinyi was a little confused by this question, and her face could not help but blush slightly.

"Used to stop bleeding."

After Chen Xi finished explaining, Shen Xinyi understood his intention.

She took out two sanitary napkins from her bag. After Chen Xi tore them open, they immediately fixed them on the other person's legs. This would also prevent the wound from rubbing against his pants.

“You’ve posted it for me, what should you do?” Shen Xinyi shouted anxiously.

"It's okay, my wound is not deep." Chen Xi waved his hand and put on his clothes.

"Drink some water." Shen Xinyi handed him the water bottle. There was still a little water left in it. She was not willing to drink it just now.

Chen Xi thought for a while, nodded, picked up a pill and drank it, then took a sip and carefully handed the remaining water to Shen Xinyi.

"Come up, I'll carry you." Chen Xi squatted down and greeted.

"No, you are so tired, I can use that stick to support you." Shen Xinyi shook her head and looked at him with some distress.

"It's okay. You're walking too slowly like that. We need to join the main force as soon as possible." His tone was firm and could not be refused.

At Chen Xi’s insistence, Shen Xinyi had no choice but to comply. Chen Xi carefully dragged her legs, trying to avoid touching them.

"Is it too heavy?" Shen Xinyi looked at the man in front of her and asked quietly.

"No, it's very light, hehe." Chen Xi chuckled and walked forward with her on his back.

Shen Xinyi laughed at his words. Looking at Chen Xi in front of her, her eyes became extremely gentle.

The two glanced at the carcasses of several animals on the ground, including a small beast that was bitten beyond recognition, and several dead Tasmanian devils.

Recalling yesterday's terrible experience, Chen Xi couldn't help but speed up his progress.
