Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2281: Chapter 2282: Brought Back

It moved like a snake, winding itself around Lin Chen’s body, as if it had a will of its own, tying a knot around Lin Chen.

After this scene, the elder’s face seemed even more fatigued, showing a trace of unhealthy pallor.

He took a light breath, grasped the rope with both hands, and slowly pulled Lin Chen’s body towards him from amidst the waterfall.

Lin Chen’s body was not light to begin with, and the elder, looking so frail himself, took quite a bit of time to drag him out of the rushing water.

After doing all this, the elder felt a sense of relief. He took a few deep breaths, then squatted down beside Lin Chen.

Due to having swallowed a lot of water, Lin Chen’s stomach was greatly bloated, and his face was extremely pale, void of any blood color.

In the center of his brow, there used to be a slit for a third eye, now tightly shut like his other two eyes, yet this one was clearly more firmly closed, with only faint bloodstains visible for several inches, showing nothing of how it once appeared.

The elder frowned, looked at Lin Chen’s body covered in wounds, sighed softly, then placed his hands on Lin Chen’s stomach.

His withered hands pressed repeatedly on Lin Chen’s body, as he pressed, quite a bit of blood continuously spewed from Lin Chen’s mouth.

With a cough accompanying the water being expelled from Lin Chen’s mouth, it was as if the pressure in his abdomen had suddenly eased under the elder’s pressing.

The elder didn’t relax, only stopping after several moments of pressing.

He pried open Lin Chen’s eyelids, the whites rolling upward, showing no hint of light.

”The injuries are too severe; seems we need to take him back.”

The elder sighed lightly, then turned his head back, noticing the girl who had been standing by the medicine basket was now missing.

The elder’s heart tensed, he stood up, looking around until he saw the girl by the side of the waterfall, he finally relaxed a little.

”That silly girl, always playing around.”

The elder shook his head and was about to call her when the girl quickly ran over.

In her arms was a small creature, its fur drenched, soaking a large patch of the girl’s cloth skirt.

”Grandpa, look what I found over there!”

The girl lifted it high for the elder to see, pouted slightly, and glanced behind her, where an ancient tree stood thick, its trunk interrupted by rocks, this creature having been stopped there by a stout branch.

This was indeed the white tiger that had previously saved Lin Chen.

Yet at this moment, it appeared less formidable, small in form, its wings retracted back into its body.

Its eyes were closed as if it were in a deep sleep.

”What am I going to do with you?”

The elder gently shook his head, affectionately rubbed the girl’s head, and then said, ”Let’s go, they both seem badly injured, we should take them back home first.”

As he spoke, the elder glanced at Lin Chen, revealing a wry smile.

Lin Chen was unconscious, and the elder, not very strong, had consumed quite a bit of energy rescuing him, making moving him to their home quite troublesome.

But in this wild, mountainous region, the elder couldn’t treat him here.

Sighing softly, the elder picked out a few sturdy branches fallen from the woods, tied a simple raft using some thick ropes, placing Lin Chen’s body on it, then slung the excess rope over his shoulder, heading towards home.

This was not on water, so the elder didn’t spare himself much energy. The raft scraped over the ground’s rubble with a faint grating sound, under which the elder hunched his back, trudging onward with Lin Chen’s severely hurt body.

Following behind the raft, the girl also placed the rescued white tiger on it.

She then found a long, thick stick, pushing it with effort against the edge of the raft, as if trying to help the elder in her own way.

Perhaps sensing something behind him, the elder turned his head, looking at the girl, a gentle smile appearing on his weathered face.

Although it actually didn’t help the elder much, the gesture warmed his heart.

...

Huff...

The sun set and the moon rose, the greenery in the forest faded as the sun went down, the starlight appearing, casting an indifferent silver tint over the forest’s lushness.

After pulling for nearly half a day, the elder and the girl, taking breaks occasionally, finally brought Lin Chen and the white tiger back home.

”Exhausted, so exhausted!”

After successfully placing Lin Chen and the white tiger in the wooden house with the elder’s help, the girl kicked off her grass sandals to the side without a care in the world, sprawling out on the bed in the wooden house, breathing heavily, clearly very tired.

”Oh, girls should pay more attention to their image.”

The elder shook his head, seated himself on a chair, and from time to time, wiped the sweat trickling down his face with his sleeve.

Although the elder wanted to treat Lin Chen’s wounds right away, being too exhausted, he had no choice but to desist.

After over half an hour, and several cups of tea, the elder finally slowly regained his strength.

He walked to the bedside, noticing the girl had started to snore softly, shaking his head slightly.

But the elder didn’t wake her, letting her sleep. He then moved to Lin Chen’s side.

”Hmm? Are the wounds healing by themselves?”

As the elder observed Lin Chen’s body, he was shocked. Having dealt with herbs for years, he remembered every kind of herb with great clarity.

And the wounds on Lin Chen’s body, the elder remembered them distinctly.

The wounds on Lin Chen’s elbow hadn’t changed, but on other parts like his waist and abdomen, where he was bruised, quite a bit had disappeared within just an afternoon, the rest fading from blue back to the normal skin tone.

This kind of self-healing, the elder had never seen before; though he had seen many physically strong individuals, none had exhibited self-healing abilities.

Witnessing this, the elder became curious.

The elder extended his hand, placing it on Lin Chen’s wrist, sensing the faint pulsations coming from Lin Chen’s meridians.
