Heaven's Formula

After confirming that the bottle contained the source of spiritual fire, Xia Fan tied it behind his back, retreated to the window the same way, and returned to his hut along the wall again.

It wasn't until the moment his feet hit the ground that he breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole process was unexpectedly smooth, and it took only over an hour from departure to completion.

"Should I say that alchemists are good at things like stealing chickens and dogs, or should I say it is accidental, or is it taken for granted?"

However, at the next moment, a voice came from behind unexpectedly, which shocked him into a cold sweat!

Chapter 15 A Long Night

Someone sneaked into this room while he was away?

Not only that, the other party also witnessed the whole process of him sneaking into Luo's residence.Suddenly, a huge "dangerous" word appeared in Xia Fan's heart.

But soon, he realized that the voice seemed familiar.

After a short stalemate, Xia Fan tried to take out the fire pocket and reached for the candlestick by the table.

And the other party didn't stop it.

The candle was lit, and the flickering flame dispelled the darkness, and he also saw the appearance of the comer.

It was the fox demon who visited the window of his room two days ago.

This time, she no longer looked down from a high place, but leaned against the wall, her tail curled up, making her look much smaller.

Also a lot closer.

Immediately, Xia Fan's high-hanging heart fell from the sky back to the ground.

"What the hell, it's okay, don't talk behind your back suddenly, okay? Do you know that it will scare people to death?"

"It turns out that you are also afraid." She grinned, as if mocking.

"Nonsense, I'm not surnamed Ji, so of course I'd be scared." Xia Fan said unhappily, but felt a little strange in her heart—compared to the previous ridicule, her words now seemed to have a little less yin and yang flavor.

Wait, why is he swollen? Could it be that he is not used to the other party not being sarcastic?

"Why is the surname Ji not afraid?"

"Because the programmer didn't write it."

"And what is a programmer?"

"That's... no, let's forget about it." Xia Fan found that he didn't have the talent to tell cold jokes, and at the same time noticed that the other party's complexion was obviously pale, and even the tone of his speech was a little weak-this is also the reason The reason why he didn't immediately notice that it was her was at first. "What's the matter, are you sick?"

Then he smelled a faint smell of blood.

"It's fine if it's just sickness..." The fox demon smiled reluctantly, and was about to stand up against the wall when his expression changed suddenly——Xia Fan strode towards her, bent down, and shrouded her like a shadow. her.

In an instant, the idea of ​​fighting to the death jumped into my mind, along with guilt and apology to "Master".

However, Xia Fan pressed his hand to the wall behind her.

"It's... blood."

He looked at the little scarlet on his fingertips, frowned and said, "You're hurt."

"I--"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xia Fan interrupted her, "Let me see." Then he pushed her hand away from her chest involuntarily.

Although she resisted, the strength was negligible.

Seeing the red and black on the chest and abdomen, Xia Fan couldn't help but gasped.

Although the wound could not be seen, the amount of bleeding had obviously exceeded the normal value, and part of the blood had coagulated, forming a mass of black blood clots, which indicated that her injury did not just happen.

After hesitating for a while, he used a little force and tore off the wet rag-like clothes from underneath.

The other party involuntarily clenched his teeth, as if he was in great pain.

A hideous wound that was half an arm long appeared in front of his eyes, and even the intestines could be vaguely seen in the deepest part.

This once again made him confirm that the woman is definitely not human.

For ordinary people, this kind of wound lasts for 3-4 hours at most, and it is more common to go into shock due to severe pain at the scene of the injury. If first aid measures are not taken immediately, there is a high probability that they will not wake up again.

Of course, for the lack of medical technology in ancient times, it is useless to hold on for a long time-opening the intestines itself is equivalent to a death sentence.

"When did you get hurt?"

"It's not important..." The fox demon tried to push him away, but failed, "Listen to me..."

"Well, at most one day ago." Xia Fan glanced around his eyes, but found no blood stains, "There is no new bleeding, has the internal bleeding stopped? Anyway, I have never been a doctor, nor a veterinarian, so I can only try my best to Give it a try."

After speaking, he picked her up, turned around and put her back on the bed.

"Wait, what are you...doing?"

"Do you still need to ask, of course it is to save your life."

Normal people are definitely hopeless, but the opponent's self-healing power can survive until now, which is enough to show the tenacity of his vitality.He didn't know anything about surgery, and even if he knew, he didn't have modern equipment to use, so all he could do was the most basic first aid methods.As the saying goes, it is often the last straw that breaks the camel's back. In turn, if the straw is pulled down, there may be a chance of survival.

In other words, at times like this, doing anything is better than doing nothing.

Xia Fan first went to the hotel lobby to ask for some hot water—generally, the back kitchen always has a non-stop stove to meet the various needs of the guests, and the observation of the spiritual fire usually takes place at night, so his request does not matter. It's strange.

It's just that when he took out the needle and thread for mending clothes and asked to put them in the pot and boil them together, and emphasized that the water must be boiled, he still attracted strange looks from the waiter in the shop.

Fortunately, the "service fee" of one tael of silver made the latter smile immediately, and promised to do so.

Then he took out the stewed beef and handed it to Xiaoer, and asked him to grind it up and put it in the porridge and send it over.Supper is considered a regular service in the hotel, and the latter is naturally also included.

After getting these prepared things, Xia Fan returned to the room and started his emergency treatment.

Dirty clothes will no doubt have to be changed, and the blood around the wound is a potential source of infection.The other party was unexpectedly quiet at this time, neither questioned nor resisted, just looked at him motionless, as if accepting his fate.

After repeatedly wiping it clean with hot water, he picked up the needle and thread, and said in a low voice, "It may be very painful next time."

"Can I... shout?" She opened and closed her lips slightly and asked weakly.

"No, hold on."

Xia Fan took a deep breath and injected the first needle.

The opponent's body visibly trembled.

This is undoubtedly a long and painful process, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a kind of torture to suture without anesthesia.The incense might ease the pain and calm the mind, but he couldn't sew while burning the incense.

"Human, are you saving me... or are you deliberately taking revenge on me?" The woman was sweating profusely, "I... have never heard of... this kind of treatment."

"The epidermis has tension, and it is difficult for them to heal by themselves. Stitching can not only shorten the healing period, but more importantly, prevent germs from invading the body. Besides, my name is Xia Fan."

Xia Fan is also not much better. Suturing a wound is easier said than done, not to mention that it is very difficult to pierce the wound back and forth with a small sewing needle. The touch of the skin is enough to make the scalp tingle.At first he wanted to sew as neatly and beautifully as possible, but soon it became a matter of stitching as long as it could sew.This invisibly further increases the pain of the subject.Under the double pressure, the sweat on his forehead was no less than that of the other party.

The fox demon stared at him for a long time before speaking again, "...Li."

"What?" He didn't respond for a while.

"my name."

After that, she closed her eyes tightly and stopped paying attention to Xia Fan's movements, as if letting him do what she wanted to do next.

It took a full half an hour for Xia Fan to complete the stitching work—what surprised him secretly was that the other party never yelled during this period, even though the clenched nails pierced the palm of his hand, and the bed sheet was soaked with sweat , she did not speak.

The last step is to apply medicine and bandage. Although the medicine is a natural herbal medicine, it is used in medical clinics to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. It should have some effect.

After finishing all this work, Xia Fan felt that he had lost his strength.He hasn't felt this way for a long time since he learned how to draw qi into his body.

But it's not time to rest yet.

He went to the waiter again and asked for a set of clean sheets and clothes to change for the fox demon.Cleanliness and freshness are the most critical part of the healing process. Even changing bandages and underwear frequently can greatly reduce the chance of infection.

When all the processing was done, the sky gradually turned white.

At this moment, he was finally able to sit by the bed and feed the other party porridge bite by bite.

"You don't want to know...how did I get hurt?" Li couldn't help asking softly.

"I think so, but can we talk about it later," Xia Fan kept his hands on hand, "I guess this story must be very long."

"...If you want to start from the beginning, it is indeed not short."

"Then wait until you finish eating and wake up." He shrugged, "You have been able to hold on until now, and you are probably going to break up later. The first rest after a serious injury is very important. Don't fight against your body. I've done everything I can, but God knows how much it will work, I'm afraid it mainly depends on your own healing ability."

"You... don't hate monsters?"

"I don't hate you." Xia Fan smiled, "Didn't you say it yourself, there are many kinds of monsters. I don't have to like everyone."

As he said, after eating the porridge, dizziness hit him like a tide, making Li drowsy.This kind of sleepiness even surpassed the pain of the wound, making it impossible to resist.

It's just that she doesn't seem to need to resist now.

Until now, Li still feels a little unreal.Before coming, she made various psychological preparations - including the other party's attitude changing drastically, reporting to the Privy Council, or being treated cruelly, etc.She didn't know what price she would have to pay to make the other party have the patience to listen to her story about "Master", but no matter what, she never expected that things would turn out like this——

Don't ask why, don't make demands.

A helping hand was offered almost immediately.

She wasn't even allowed to object.

Li never believed in goodwill without a reason. People pay attention to profit and conspiracy in everything they do, and Xia Fan should be no exception.According to his own statement, he wanted to learn about the demon through her. The only thing she wondered was whether this benefit was worth it for him.After all, besides this, she really couldn't think of what else she could use as a bargaining chip.

Consciousness gradually blurred, like the day of injury.

But this time, she no longer resisted.

In the hazy field of vision, a figure is close in front of him, and he should be more prepared, but at this moment he feels inexplicably at ease.

In the long-lost calm, she closed her eyes.

Chapter No.16 Misunderstanding

He didn't sleep all night, but Xia Fan didn't feel too tired. Compared with the physical burden, the mental stress is the big one.Now that the other party fell asleep and the pressure was relieved, he felt a lot lighter all over.

This is probably the cost of being young. Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When he was in college, he could still eat staying up late as a meal. After going to work, he would be so sleepy after twelve o'clock. It would take several days to make up for it all night. There will be a day to return to the top.

Looking at the empty bowl of porridge, his stomach also growled.

After simply tidying up the house, Xia Fan went straight to the hotel lobby and ordered twice the usual meals in one go.

"Guest officer, please take your time." Xiaoer quickly served breakfast.

Compared with yesterday's atmosphere of mutual suspicion and embarrassment, today's lobby is much cleaner. I don't know if he got up early, but he is the only one in the whole room, and he feels quite at ease.

It seems that getting up early is not without benefits.

It's just that this sense of comfort gradually turned into surprise when Xia Fan ate the second steamed bun.

How long have you been here?

One quarter of an hour?or longer...

During this period, no one stepped into the lobby—whether they came down from upstairs or came in from outside.The spiritual fire can only be seen at night, there should be quite a few people watching all night, and now is the point to return.During the day, it is easy to collect, and the family may still need to occupy the venue, so the sooner the better, the moment when the two waves of personnel are handed over, how could it be so long without a single figure entering or leaving the lobby?

Xia Fan slowly put down the steamed bun in his hand and picked up the wooden sword.

Just as he was about to go back to the house, two Luo family disciples appeared at the stairs.

They stood side by side, blocking the passage behind them.

Then someone walked quickly into the lobby and occupied the exit position—these candidates were also wearing the Luo family's blue robes, and their eyes were all focused on him.

The uniform rhythm of the two groups of people made Xia Fan realize instantly that this was probably something that had been planned long ago.

It's not that he got up too early, but that the Luo family controlled the flow of people in the hotel in advance.

What the other party was waiting for was the moment when he walked into the lobby!

"That's right, your power of observation is sharper than I expected." With a pleasant voice, Luo gently appeared at the lobby door, "It's a pity that you used it where it shouldn't be used."

Although her tone was calm, Xia Fan could still hear the repressed indignation and anger inside.

No way, did you find out so quickly that you did it?

And if you don't move, it's enough. A move is such a big gesture. Obviously, the Luo family has a great grasp of this.Denying it at such a time would be a bit self-inflicted.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan simply admitted, "I'm curious, how did you make sure?"

"Luo Youer!"

"Yes, Senior Sister." A little girl with curly short hair quickly stood up and said, "It's the smell! I smell you."

The familiar words made Xia Fan feel a little dazed for a moment, "What?"

She touched her nose, "The alchemy I am good at allows me to track the flow of smells within ten miles. The thief entered the house through the window, and at the side of the senior sister's bed—"
