Tao Ruchu lifted the hem of her dress with both hands and took light steps to avoid alerting the enemy. Soon, she found a person lying in a pile of grass not far away.
She walked closer and took a closer look under the moonlight.
It was a man, and a beautiful man.
The man in front of her was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe. The high-quality silk was faintly glowing under the moonlight. Even though he was injured, he still exuded a gentle and noble aura.
His handsome eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his hand was covering his chest as if he was enduring great pain. His clothes were also dyed red with blood.
Half of her hair was loose, and her dark hair fell on her face, covering half of her face. She looked very weak and harmless.
The man's pale lips were tightly pursed, and his face was stained with some mud, like warm jade covered in dust.
"Young Master is like jade!"
Tao Ruchu subconsciously thought of this word. This was probably the most beautiful person she had seen in 800 years.
After a moment of surprise, Tao Ruchu noticed that the man had a bulging purse tied around his waist. It was obvious that there was a lot of money in it.
Tao Ruchu swallowed her saliva, and some inexplicable thoughts appeared in her mind.
Ah…too evil…I can't do this…
Even though Tao Ruchu couldn't tell the good from the bad, she had seen thousands of people, and few of them were dressed so nicely.
This person's body was filled with extraordinary items. Even the hairpin on his head was made of white jade that did not contain a trace of impurities. Tao Ruchu reached out to check his breathing. It wasn't very weak. It seemed that he could still be saved.
After some hesitation, Tao Ruchu, as a very moral little demon, came up with a good idea.
A petite figure was dragging something on the ground. So heavy…"
" Oh..." The man on the ground groaned as he was hit by the small gravel.
Tao Ruchu heard the sound and looked at her subordinates. Could they have woken up?
Seeing that the man had fallen asleep again, Tao Ruchu felt relieved and continued to drag him. Not long after, they found a slightly flat and clean place before putting the man down.
The little girl squatted down, her small mouth slightly open as she panted. She looked at the man's pale face and said,
"Hey, I saved you. You should give me money to thank me, right?" " So, it's fine if I take the silver and leave first, right?" Tao Ruchu thought guiltily.
The man didn't say anything, so she took it as his silent consent.
He took money from others and helped them eliminate disasters. Tao Ruchu unbuttoned the man's clothes, intending to check on his wound.
The left side of his outer garment had been cut open by a sharp weapon, and his inner garment was soaked in blood, sticking to the wound.
She carefully removed his inner clothes, revealing a wound that was two fingers wide. He didn't know if it had cracked again just now, but blood was still gushing out.
Tao Ruchu tore a few pieces of cloth from the man's body and stuffed them into the man's chest. After a while, the blood soaked the cloth.
No…this won't stop the bleeding! Although she was only doing it for his wallet, she really couldn't bear to leave him here.
She remembered that she had seen someone injured on the mountain. Her companions had found some herbs on the mountain, torn them up and applied them to the wound to delay the injury.
Tao Ruchu got up and planned to look for this herb nearby. She walked further and further away and searched for a while before finally finding one.
She took the herbs back to the man's side, crushed the leaves of the herbs with her hands, and applied them to the man's wound. She tore a few strips of cloth from the man's body and tied them into long strips. She wrapped them around the man's arms and roughly tied them into a messy knot to barely secure them.
Tao Ruchu didn't even want to move a finger after she was done. It was already dawn. She had been walking in the mountains for a whole day and hadn't rested.
At this moment, she found a tree beside the man and sat under it. She leaned against the tree and closed her eyes. Soon, she met up with the Duke of Zhou.
The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight gradually covered the earth. Tao Ruchu was woken up by the chirping of birds. When she opened her eyes, the sunlight was blinding.
The sky was already bright.
Tao Ruchu stretched and rubbed her sleepy eyes. It was time to hurry. She walked to the man's side and checked.
The bleeding had stopped, and the man's breathing was stable. He should wake up soon. There were many tourists on Yanxia Mountain during the day. If he called for help, someone would probably come.
Tao Ruchu squatted beside the man in white. His clothes were tattered and stained with blood and mud. If it weren't for his face, he wouldn't have looked good.
Tao Ruchu lowered her head, her expression a little unnatural." I'm sorry, just treat this as my reward. I don't need too much, this is enough." As she spoke, she reached out and untied the knot on the man's pouch.
He untied the pouch and weighed it in his hand. It was quite heavy. Tao Ruchu stuffed the purse into her arms, but she felt that something was watching her...
She looked up and saw that the man had already woken up. His face was so pale that it was devoid of blood. His eyes were staring straight at her, as if he was deep in thought.
"Ah!" Tao Ruchu was shocked. She loosened her grip and a purse fell out from her bosom...
