Chapter 195: Bitten By A Snake
Before this, Yun Qing had never thought that she would be alone with Huo Chuan one day.
To be precise, alone on an island.
The island was not big. The two of them had walked all over the island in the past few days, but there was no sign of anyone.
Moreover, the island was surrounded by the vast ocean, as if it was isolated from the world.
The island was the world, and the only person who could accompany Yun Qing now was Huo Chuan.
It was a brand new day. Yun Qing and Huo Chuan left the cave together, searching for food on the island.
There were many towering trees on the island, and there were bushes all around their feet. The only thing they could eat were the fruits that grew on the trees.
“We can go to the beach to catch some fish. This way, we don’t have to live off only fruits.” Huo Chuan led Yun Qing and carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of them so that they could find a path.
Yun Qing nodded and stared at her feet, afraid that she would fall.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her calf, as if she had been bitten by something.
Yun Qing was shocked and heard some rustling. When she looked closely, she realized that it was a snake.
“Ah — ”
Yun Qing screamed. Huo Chuan hurriedly turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yun Qing, who had been well-fed since young, rarely had the chance to see a snake, let alone be bitten by one.
Her voice trembled as she said, “I, I think a snake bit me.”
Huo Chuan’s eyes widened. “Where did it bite? !”
“My, my calves...”
Yun Qing did not know if the snake was a poisonous snake, but she was already feeling nauseous. Her calves were in extreme pain and her face was pale.
Seeing her like this, Huo Chuan immediately carried her in his arms and ran to the flat ground.
“Don’t be afraid.” Huo Chuan let Yun Qing rest on his lap. Before Yun Qing could answer, he immediately bent over and placed his lips on the wound where Yun Qing was bitten by the poisonous snake. He sucked and spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Yun Qing watched as Huo Chuan worked to save her. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
No, no, she could not fall in love with Huo Chuan anymore.
They had been forced to survive on this island. The person who had caused her to end up on this island was Huo Chuan. She could not forgive him for what he had done just because he had been nice to her for two or three days.
Huo Chuan did not know about Yun Qing’s petty thoughts. He was still earnestly sucking Yun Qing’s blood.
After the blood was sucked clean, Huo Chuan took off his white shirt and tied it around Yun Qing’s injured calf.
‘She should be fine now.’ Huo Chuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Yun Qing’s complexion had improved.
Indeed, after Huo Chuan’s treatment, Yun Qing no longer felt as dizzy.
Yun Qing suddenly realized that Huo Chuan had rather adept survival skills. However, when she thought about it carefully, Huo Chuan had been, after all, a soldier.
It was also at this time that many images appeared in her mind.
Five years ago, she was studying in Europe when she was suddenly attacked by terrorists.
The terrorists attacked countless civilians. She watched in horror as foreigners died in front of her.
However, she still rushed out of the safe house to save a child whose parents were killed.
A bomb exploded beside her, but she was focused on saving people. She couldn’t care less.
How could a person possibly outrun a bomb?
Just as she and the child were blown away by the blast of the bomb, a man pounced on her.
She knew that he was a countryman. He was wearing a military uniform she recognized, but his face was blackened by the smoke. In addition, her head was buzzing, and she was dizzy, so she couldn’t see his face clearly.
After confirming that she and the child were fine, the man quickly stood up and continued to save others.
Yun Qing vaguely remembered his broad back and the bloodstains on the back of his clothes.
It had been the price of saving her.
As she looked at Huo Chuan, Yun Qing suddenly remembered what had happened that day.
For some reason, she felt that Huo Chuan was somewhat similar to the soldier who had saved her that day.
His figure, outline, and that taciturn appearance.
“Are you still feeling unwell?” Huo Chuan asked again when he saw that Yun Qing being silent.
Yun Qing came back to her senses and shook her head.
She wanted to ask Huo Chuan about Europe, but she gave up in the end.
