Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Do You Also Feel Compassion for Others?

Yesterday, Jin Zijin and Yue Rujing were both injured. Gu Youyou heard them say that the Yangguan City garrison was exterminating bandits, and they were the group of bandits being targeted.

The garrison wasn’t just a garrison; it was mixed with many experts from Xuanzong. One could imagine how fierce the fighting between the officials and bandits was.

Yue Rujing fared somewhat better, clutching his chest and saying he suffered internal injuries, at least he was clean on the outside. But Jin Zijin’s injuries were a bit odd, some internal ones weren’t severe, yet there were many wounds on the outside, which didn’t quite match Gu Youyou’s image of how heroes would get hurt.

Yue Rujing, with no visible wounds but coughing up blood, seemed rather convincing. But what was with all the injuries on Jin Zijin’s body caused by cold weapons?

"How did you get hurt like this?" Gu Youyou couldn’t help but ask.

It was too dark last night for her to see, but now that they were in Tongguan City, she realized how frightening his wounds were.

They had already cleaned his wounds in the morning and treated them simply, but they would need to be redressed in the afternoon.

"You made me mad," he said.

Of course, it was seeing her jump off the cliff that had infuriated him, to the point where he forgot to dodge, and those few lackeys on the edge had no idea how many times they took the opportunity to slash at him; under normal circumstances, how could they have even come close to him?

Gu Youyou hadn’t seen the scene and thought he was just speaking out of anger. As she was untying his clothes, she said, "You get mad at me, so you run into their knives? Idiot."

Well, he really was an idiot.

As she undid his clothes, his sturdy upper body was revealed. Even though it wasn’t the first time she had seen his bare body, it still made Gu Youyou’s face heat up.

"The smaller wounds are healing, the larger ones..." Gu Youyou frowned when she saw the gaping, flesh-revealed wound on his shoulder, "this one should have been stitched up to heal faster, but it’s been too long. These next few days, you need to be careful, and if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me."

If a wound wasn’t stitched within six hours, it couldn’t be stitched up anymore; otherwise, the risk of infection would be high. But the risk of infection was also high for Jin Zijin’s wound if it wasn’t stitched. He didn’t say anything earlier and delayed it for a whole night.

Jin Zijin didn’t speak, only nodded slightly.

Gu Youyou changed the dressing on his wound, the medicine powder she applied would be painful, so she stole a glance at him. Seeing that he kept silent, not even a frown on his brow, she felt like she was rubbing salt into pork.

Seeing him like that, it wasn’t even stoicism, she felt somewhat angry and said, "Can’t you dodge a knife? Can’t you scream if it hurts? I’m a doctor, I’ve seen a lot, it’s not shameful."

Gu Youyou quickly and neatly re-bandaged him and helped him get dressed.

Jin Zijin curved the corners of his mouth into a knowing smile, "So you can be worried about people, getting slashed a few times is worth it."

"I don’t feel sorry for you, if you die from those cuts, you had it coming," Gu Youyou blurted out without a second thought.

Jin Zijin wasn’t annoyed, simply stating, "The mouth says no, but the heart says yes."

Gu Youyou was taken aback for a moment, then finished packing up the dressing materials and huffed, "I can’t be bothered with you."

A "thud, thud..." of knocking came, followed by Yue Rujing’s voice from outside the door, "Senior brother, is it inconvenient for me to come in?"

Just as Gu Youyou was planning to go out and throw away the used bandages, she opened the door and said, "If you want to come in, just come in, the door isn’t locked."

After saying that, she walked straight out.

Yue Rujing, not understanding, asked Jin Zijin, "What’s with her? What princess temper is she throwing now?"

Jin Zijin very seriously concluded, "She’s not throwing a temper, she’s just embarrassed."
