Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Original Sin 45

Yun Shuangshuang sprinted rapidly through the mountains and forests, occasionally leaping forward, her movements nimble and swift. In the air ahead, Wan Yan’s presence was becoming increasingly intense, but there was also a faint, elusive scent of iron rust in the air!

Yun Shuangshuang’s heart sank, this was the smell of blood! Wan Yan was injured! As she suspected, something had happened to him. Yun Shuangshuang increased her speed, sprinting urgently toward the source of the scent!

The scent of blood grew stronger, and to Yun Shuangshuang’s keen sense of smell, it was now overpowering. Finally, the strong metallic odor lingered in a gorge between two mountains.

This gorge was deep, obscured by the downward-growing trees, making it impossible to see clearly below. The strong metallic odor emanated from the gorge, Yun Shuangshuang wrapped a climbing rope around a large tree, secured herself, and slowly descended into the gorge!

The gorge was deep yet narrow, the trees above blocking the sunlight, leaving it dark as if at dusk after sunset. Wan Yan leaned against the stone wall of the gorge, his face pale, most of his body soaked in blood!

Yun Shuangshuang’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately checked Wan Yan’s breath, feeling the warm air on her fingers, she sighed in relief, her heart settling a bit. Fortunately, he wasn’t dead, just unconscious!

Judging by the blood flowing from Wan Yan’s body, he was clearly seriously injured. Yun Shuangshuang didn’t know where he was hurt and didn’t dare to touch him directly for fear of worsening his wounds, so she pinched the acupuncture point at the center of his upper lip.

Wan Yan frowned, groaned, and slowly opened his eyes. At first, his gaze was dull, unfocused, and he didn’t understand his surroundings. But the sharp pain soon brought him back to his senses, and he couldn’t help but groan again from the excruciating pain in his back, trying to sit up.

However, as soon as Wan Yan moved, he felt a hand gently restraining him. With his mind freshly clearing, Wan Yan finally saw Yun Shuangshuang in front of him!

Yun Shuangshuang took out a cup with sugar and salt water, unscrewed the cap, and brought it to Wan Yan’s lips, ”You lost a lot of blood. Drink some of this sugar and salt water, it can replenish your blood and restore your strength.”

Wan Yan was in too much pain to speak, only managing to say a difficult thank you, and he was fed half a cup of sugar and salt water by Yun Shuangshuang. His parched throat felt much better instantly.

After watching Wan Yan drink the sugar and salt water, his face looked less pale, Yun Shuangshuang asked him, ”Can you feel where your injuries are?”

Wan Yan weakly replied, ”I can feel it, it’s the right shoulder blade of my back! It hurts a lot!”

”I need to examine your wound. Go with my movements, don’t exert force yourself, to avoid causing more harm to the wound!”

”I understand, move as you need. I won’t exert myself.” Wan Yan inhaled sharply, speaking as his back ached tremendously, a burning, excruciating pain.

Yun Shuangshuang first found a large stone, moved it over, sat on it, moved Wan Yan’s shoulder little by little, slowly tilting him toward her, until he eventually lay across her thighs.

Since Yun Shuangshuang was not seated low, lying on her legs wasn’t too uncomfortable for Wan Yan. However, this position was a bit awkward, his face meeting Yun Shuangshuang’s abdomen.

Although Yun Shuangshuang was dressed properly and securely, he only saw a bit of cloth, but being this close inexplicably made Wan Yan’s face turn a little red. He swore he hadn’t intentionally faced this direction.

Yun Shuangshuang didn’t have the mind to pay attention to Wan Yan’s little thoughts; her whole focus was on the wound on Wan Yan’s back. His back’s clothes were already soaked with blood for the most part! The clothing was thin, the amount of bleeding looked alarming but wasn’t truly life-threatening. However, the troubling part was that the wound was still bleeding and hadn’t closed!

This meant the wound was either deep or long, whichever the case was, it must be treated immediately; otherwise, even if Yun Shuangshuang carried Wan Yan out of the forest at full speed, the blood loss would be enough to kill him!

Wan Yan, leaning against Yun Shuangshuang’s legs, heard two bursts of cloth tearing behind him, followed by a cool sensation on his back!

Wan Yan’s body tensed, ears turning crimson. Being stripped by a woman, how embarrassing!

Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t aware of Wan Yan’s inner thoughts, if she were she’d surely be speechless—at the brink of life and death, still having the mind to think of such trivial matters, what a big heart indeed!

At this point, Yun Shuangshuang was carefully examining Wan Yan’s back wound, unconsciously furrowing her brows. It was troublesome; the wound was long, and not only long but seemed deep, with blood continually streaming from the wound, faster than it could clot.

This situation urgently required sealing the wound, but Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t a doctor; she had no idea how to suture a wound, and even if she did, she had neither needle nor thread, essentially having no means for the task!

But without suturing the wound, whether waiting there or carrying him out, Wan Yan would inevitably die!

Yun Shuangshuang appeared calm but was already internally anxious. She could not let him die under her watch, but she also lacked the means to save him; this was an annoying dilemma, and not even bandages were available for use here.

If it were a professional doctor or nurse, they could bandage it properly, but Yun Shuangshuang knew little of this knowledge, essentially no different than knowing nothing. She feared improper bandaging would only lead to more blood loss, and bandaging might not even help when the wound was this substantial; suturing was the only way to truly halt the bleeding!

Yun Shuangshuang took two deep breaths, suppressing her panic, continually urging herself to calm down, calmly recalling any emergency medical knowledge she had learned, thinking carefully for anything useful!

Rubbing her forehead, Yun Shuangshuang strained to calm down, delving into her memory for any knowledge on wilderness emergency care, pondering what to do about a wound requiring stitches? What to do? What to do?

Yun Shuangshuang’s mind raced, her eyes unfocused on the ground, then she saw a column of ants crawling past in front of her. The ants in this deep mountain were enormous, their heads as large as mung beans, with jaws like giant pincers capable of biting holes in flesh with a single nip!

Wait! Biting holes in flesh! Yun Shuangshuang suddenly had an epiphany, recalling a method she had once read in a wilderness survival book, although she couldn’t remember which book it was, but it described a technique for suturing wounds in the wild.

This technique involved using the mandibles of large ants to suture wounds! Yun Shuangshuang felt a surge of excitement, quickly taking out the cup of sugar and salt water, pouring it into the lid, and picking up a large ant from the ground, rinsing it in the sugar-salt solution.

Yun Shuangshuang didn’t dare rinse it too long for fear of drowning the ant and rendering it useless, giving it just a quick swish before aligning the ant’s mandibles over Wan Yan’s wound!
