Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Trouble Comes Knocking (2)_1

"Go to Jing City and find your master, hand this purse to him in person. When he sees it, he will fetch a doctor immediately. Remember, it must be delivered into his hands directly. If he’s not there, you go to Huixian Residence and look for Punishing Shopkeeper—he knows what to do."

Little Flower licked her hand with her big tongue, indicating she understood, then turned and bolted away like a flash of lightning.

Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. With Little Flower’s speed, it would only take moments before she reached Jing City. Once Yan Junyu found a doctor and hurried over, it would be much faster than if she took Xiao Ruiyuan into the city at a snail’s pace.

The reasons she didn’t take Xiao Ruiyuan straight to Jing City for a doctor were threefold: the time difference between the Space and the outside world was too great, and Xiao Ruiyuan’s injuries couldn’t wait; materializing a person out of thin air in broad daylight wasn’t safe; and if Xiao Ruiyuan later inquired how she had transported him from the deep mountains to the city for medical treatment, she wouldn’t be able to explain flawlessly to such a clever person.

Having Little Flower go to Jing City to find Yan Junyu was the most time and effort-efficient solution.

Before long, Mo Qingze and the others arrived at the shelter with Xiao Ruiyuan on a door plank and carefully placed him on Mo Qingze’s bed.

There was nothing more they could do to help, and with work still to be done at the construction site, they left soon after a quick word.

"Father, quickly use the scissors to cut open his clothes and clean the wounds so that the doctor can apply medicine directly when he arrives."

Mo Yan handed the scissors to her father, then took a clean wooden basin to fetch water, which was really an excuse to fill it with Spirit Spring Water.

Spirit Spring Water doesn’t contain bacteria or viruses, making it perfectly suitable for cleaning wounds.

Mo Qingze took the scissors and cautiously cut through the clothes, which had been soaked with blood and dried, sticking tightly to the flesh and making it difficult to cut through.

Seeing this, Mo Yan quickly wet the stuck areas with a cloth dipped in the Spirit Spring Water from the basin, which loosened the fabric so that Mo Qingze could cut more quickly.

By the time the clothes were fully cut away, a layer of sweat had formed on Mo Qingze’s forehead. He took the cloth from Mo Yan and started to wipe Xiao Ruiyuan’s wounds.

As he wiped, his hand suddenly paused, and with a sharp turn of his head, he saw Mo Yan staring intently at Xiao Ruiyuan’s body. He quickly pulled a blanket over Xiao Ruiyuan’s exposed body and belatedly said, "Yanyan, go outside. It’s better if I do this alone."

"Father, it’s okay, I’m just here to help you," Mo Yan, clearly unphased, waved her hand dismissively and didn’t budge.

Mo Qingze’s temples throbbed as he couldn’t help but scold her in a low voice, "A young lady should not be looking at a man’s body. If word of this gets out, do you not care about your reputation?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan finally understood what her father meant, gave an awkward smile, and hurried out.

After several basins of bloodstained water were changed, Xiao Ruiyuan’s wounds were finally clean and looking less ferocious. Whether it was because of the nourishment by the Spiritual Spring in the Space or the Spirit Spring Water’s properties, his wounds stopped bleeding, but he remained unconscious.

Mo Yan surmised that he had lost too much blood and had fallen from such a height that either his internal organs or his head were injured, which was why he hadn’t woken up despite the time that had passed.

"Yanyan, what exactly happened here?" Mo Qingze emerged, visibly shaken, and asked Mo Yan, "Sir Xiao’s injuries are all in vital places; it seems likely that he would have died instantly had he not dodged quickly. Where did you find him?"

At his question, Mo Yan briefly recounted the events, simply saying it was Dabai that carried the man out.

Mo Qingze knew Dabai was the wolf he had seen before that was quite friendly with Mo Yan; otherwise, he would not have allowed her to go into the mountains so frequently.

After hearing Mo Yan’s explanation, Mo Qingze frowned deeply, "Last time Sir Xiao was critically injured as well. Despite being a court official, he has been the target of assassination attempts not once but repeatedly. Those villains are outrageously bold."
