Lan Yan drove the carriage without stopping, finally arriving at the village.
When Xiao Hua and the others saw the carriage, they hurried forward to help. They helped Lan Yan drag Jun Yelan out and place him on a bed in a room.
"Sister Lan, what happened to Brother Jun? Why does he look like this?"
Lan Yan comforted them, "Your Brother Jun is just injured, he will be fine. Xiao Hua, quickly go and boil some hot water; Xiao Yue, go and get scissors."
The two children immediately went to work upon hearing her words, praying for Brother Jun's safety.
Lan Yan stayed by Jun Yelan's bedside, watching him grow weaker and weaker, and she almost didn't know what to do. She wanted to find a doctor, but the journey back and forth would surely delay saving Jun Yelan.
"Is there any medicine that can protect Jun Yelan?" She suddenly looked down at her necklace. Jun Yelan had previously mentioned that there was a pill inside, meant to save her life.
Without hesitation, she took off the necklace and opened the pendant in the middle. Indeed, there was a pill. The corners of her lips curved slightly as she placed the pill into Jun Yelan's mouth and said, "Jun Yelan, swallow this for me."
Perhaps because of these words, Jun Yelan instinctively swallowed.
Lan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and took out the medicine box again, laying out all the necessary items before her.
Xiao Hua and Xiao Yue were quick, bringing over the scissors and hot water.
Lan Yan nodded, picked up the scissors, and decisively cut open Jun Yelan's clothes, revealing his blood-covered body. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she picked up a wet towel to wipe him clean.
As the towel wiped his arm, it was already completely stained red. She threw it into the water, and the water turned into bloody water. "Again."
Xiao Hua took the basin away, and Xiao Yue brought a new basin of hot water.
Lan Yan stood by the bed, her hands constantly moving, wiping away the bloodstains on Jun Yelan's body.
By the end, after ten basins of hot water, the sweat on her forehead grew more and more.
Xiao Hua and the others couldn't bear to watch and said worriedly, "Sister Lan, you should rest for a while." They were afraid Sister Lan would collapse next.
Lan Yan shook her head, "I'm fine, continue changing the water." She threw the clean towel into the basin, picked up the medicinal powder, poured it onto a cloth, and applied it to Jun Yelan's wounds.
She pressed down on the cloth, and Jun Yelan's wounds gradually stopped bleeding, but the flesh was torn open, looking gruesome.
Xiao Hua and the others were scared and huddled together beside them.
Lan Yan let go and saw Jun Yelan's wounds all over his body. Although there were many, none of them were fatal. It was likely that Jun Yelan had deliberately avoided them, and his current weakness was due to excessive blood loss.
Her heart finally settled. Next, she began bandaging Jun Yelan. She noticed his tightly clenched hands. She wanted to pry them open but couldn't, so she held the back of Jun Yelan's hand and gently said, "Jun Yelan, it's me, Lan Yan."
Jun Yelan's hand slowly loosened, revealing a small paper packet inside.
Upon seeing what was inside, Lan Yan covered her mouth, preventing herself from crying out. It was the biscuit she had given Jun Yelan, which he had kept all along. The biscuit was already broken, with only crumbs left, yet Jun Yelan had protected it carefully in his palm.
Jun Yelan was truly a big fool.
Holding back her tears, she took out the paper packet and bandaged Jun Yelan's palm with it. She quickly covered him with the quilt, afraid he would catch a chill. "Xiao Hua, Xiao Yue, you two go rest. I'll stay watch tonight."
Xiao Hua and Xiao Yue were both worried about Lan Yan, "Sister Lan, you've been working all day, why don't you let us do it?"
"You two children should rest well so you can grow tall," Lan Yan said with a smile. "Besides, if something happened to you, wouldn't your Brother Jun worry!"
With that, the two children left, closing the door reluctantly.
Lan Yan sat alone by the bedside, looking at the fragile Jun Yelan, feeling a strange sense of broken beauty.
She brushed away a stray strand of hair from Jun Yelan's forehead, revealing his delicate face. Leaning on her chin, she said, "Jun Yelan, don't think that just because you're good-looking, I'll forgive you."
She wasn't that kind of person.
System: "...Host, are you sure?" I wonder who it was that, upon entering the first world, was completely stunned by the target of the mission!
"Stupid system, don't go online when you shouldn't be," Lan Yan grumbled. She couldn't get along with this system.
System: "Host, I'm only reminding you out of goodwill. This time, you absolutely cannot indulge in his beauty. You must properly teach Jun Yelan a lesson and make him devoted to you. That way, our mission will be half-completed."
He was holding the love manual in his hands and reading it solemnly.
Lan Yan was somewhat speechless, "Let's wait for Jun Yelan to wake up before we talk about it."
She looked at Jun Yelan and murmured, "I always feel like this person has many worries in his heart. Back in the brothel, I clearly felt that Jun Yelan had feelings for me, but he left abruptly."
"After Jun Yelan returned, he brought me to this village, and our relationship improved. But that day, Jun Yelan clearly became distant. Although I followed him, he had a knot in his heart."
System: "Host, this is too complicated for me. I'll go offline." He needed to carefully flip through the system manual to see if there was a situation like the host described.
Lan Yan didn't know if her thoughts were correct, but she had this vague feeling.
Silence fell again in the room. She continued to watch Jun Yelan and murmured, "Jun Yelan, no matter what worries you have, I will find them out and bring you peace."
After speaking, her eyelids gradually drooped, and her head followed, resting on the bedside. Even breathing could be heard.
In the middle of the night, Jun Yelan vaguely opened his eyes. He felt pain all over his body and was still weak. He heard breathing beside him and turned his head to see Lan Yan, his eyes widening slightly.
Was this a dream, or reality?
He remembered the explosion at Lin's residence and being buried in the ruins. At that time, he had only one thought: to survive, to live and see Lan Yan.
If this was a dream, he would rather never wake up. He couldn't stop staring at Lan Yan. "Lan Yan, it was so dangerous this time. Fortunately, I left you behind. This was the most correct choice I made. I will never regret it!"
He couldn't let Lan Yan face death with him. This situation, in his eyes, was the best outcome. He raised his hand, wanting to touch Lan Yan's cheek, but his hands had no strength, so he had to lower them.
He could only look at Lan Yan, a tear falling from the corner of his eye, and then closed his eyes.
The next morning, Lan Yan woke up and saw Jun Yelan still sleeping on the bed, her expression disappointed. She had clearly heard Jun Yelan's voice just now. Could it be that she was dreaming?
She reached out and touched Jun Yelan's forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever. But just in case, she still had to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine. She said to Jun Yelan, "Jun Yelan, try your best. I'll be back soon."
She put on her veiled hat. Even though the city was full of danger, she had to go. She couldn't let Jun Yelan remain in a coma!
