Chương 4: She Is Not Simple

With a thought, Xu Xiang took out three syringes containing antipyretic medicine, antibiotic medicine, and nutrient solution from her space. Without hesitation, she injected those medicines into his veins. After that, she took out anti-infection spray, clean water, and hemostatic bandages.

Seeing that it would take a long time for the Xiao family to come back, Xu Xiang carefully removed the dirty gauze on Xiao Shao's wound after wetting it with clean water. Afterwards, she sprayed the wound with the anti-infection spray to prevent the wound from becoming infected. After waiting for a few seconds, the wounds slowly stopped bleeding, and the rotting flesh slowly fell off from his wounds.

She kept spraying the wound until all the rotting flesh fell off, then pasted the opened flesh with a hemostatic bandage. Given how advanced the technology in her original world was, the wound no longer needed stitches after pasting it with this hemostatic bandage, which can stop bleeding and be used as medicine. After three days, the hemostatic bandage will disappear as the wound heals without leaving any scars.

She moved quickly and deftly, quickly stitched the wounds with the hemostatic bandage, and then wrapped it with those dirty gauze again. If no one looked at it closely, they wouldn't have noticed that she was just treating the wounds. After she was done, she put the empty syringes, the remaining bandages, and the other stuff back into her space.

"What did you just do to my master?"

Xu Xiang's heart skipped a beat when she heard a cold voice come from above her head. When she looked up, she saw a man wearing black clothes and a mask covering half of his face, staring at her intently. The killing intent in his eyes was extremely clear. Without waiting for him to make a move, Xu Xiang quickly took out a dagger from her space.

Ready for battle, she looked at the masked man and asked, "Who are you?"

'He must be an expert since I didn't notice him approaching. I hope he didn't see anything he wasn't supposed to see.'

The masked man didn't answer her, but jumped down from the dead tree and stood between her and Xiao Shao. Looking at his hostile eyes, she didn't relax her vigilance and took a few steps back. While the two were still glaring at each other, the Xiao family had already finished receiving their rations and heading back.

The masked man glanced at them, then looked back at Xu Xiang with a warning in his eyes, before disappearing from there. Before the Xiao family arrived, Xu Xiang quickly hid the dagger back in her space. Looking at the unconscious Xiao Shao, she frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing her standing there staring at his elder brother, Xiao Han said, "Miss Xu, you don't have to keep staring at my brother. As long as no one comes to mess with him, you can relax."

Hearing his words, she turned around and smiled at him. "It's alright."

Seeing that each of them only got a hard bun the size of a baby's fist, she said, "Since you're back, I'll go find something to eat."

Xiao Yi looked at her petite and weak body, but didn't speak. His family has no surplus food for Xu Xiang right now. Before the atmosphere became awkward, she said, "I'll go first."

Looking at her calm face, Xiao Yi nodded and said, "You should come back as soon as possible. These people are not good people."

Xu Xiang glanced at the people around them and saw the malice in their eyes. Understanding what Xiao Yi meant, she nodded at him.

"I understand. I will be back as soon as possible."

"Be careful." Wen Wan added before she left.

Turning around, Xu Xiang walked into the barren forest again under the watchful eyes of the Xiao family. After she disappeared into the forest, Wen Wan sighed and said, "I hope nothing happens to her."

Xiao Yi looked at his wife's worried face, and said lightly: "That young lady is not simple. She should be fine. Don't trust her easily."

Hearing his father's words, Xiao Han nodded.

"How do you know?" Wen Wan asked her husband curiously.

Seeing her curious eyes, Xiao Yi chuckled and pointed to the sky. Looking up, Wen Wan saw a masked man standing on the dead tree. Startled, she looked back at her husband and asked, "Who is he?"

"He is one of my brother's hidden guards." Before his father could speak, Xiao Han answered his mother.

Wen Wan calmed down after hearing his answer, and asked again in a low voice while covering her mouth. "Does the one in the capital city know about these hidden guards?"

Since he never hides anything from his wife, Xiao Yi also lowered his voice, covered his mouth before saying, "That person is muddle-headed and only cares about expanding his power. With his personality, he won't find anything in his life."

After thinking about it, Wen Wan said, "Then... What Da Lang wants is—"

Raising his hand to interrupt his wife, Xiao Yi said, "At present, our first priority is to rescue Da Lang and keep a low profile. Let's talk about the rest when Da Lang wakes up."

"Alright."

While the Xiao family was discussing their future plans, Xu Xiang was walking around in the forest. After walking for a while, she found a boulder and sat on it. She wiped her sweat with her hands, looked at her surroundings, and sighed.

'Looking at the cracks on the ground, it seems that this place has suffered from drought for a long time. Not to mention fruit or wildlife, not even a blade of grass in sight. How can I find a good excuse to bring food back?'

While thinking, she took out a bottle of water from her space, which was filled with her lake water. After opening the bottle cap, she drank a few sips of water, and immediately felt refreshed.

She closed the bottle and rubbed the back of her head, but she didn't feel any pain anymore. The wound has healed, leaving only sticky hair. Putting the water bottle back in her own space, she sighed for a long time.

'This world is only a little better than the apocalyptic world. I wonder how these humans survive in this world with their current technology. Looking at their clothes, the technology is definitely very primitive.'
