Chapter 488: Chapter 488
Afterwards, I headed to the fish pond to clean up and put on dry clothes, then washed both our clothes and hung them out to dry. Only then did I come over to check on his condition. I might not know Traditional Chinese Medicine, but I understood Western medicine. Although there were no instruments, I was certain he showed signs of poisoning. However, given that he was able to wake up and put up a fight, his condition was clearly much better than it had been at the hostel. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelFirｅ.net
This proved that the medicine I had previously administered was effective, so I prepared another batch of detoxification medicine using the Detoxification Recipe I had prepared earlier. The juice for the medicine was made with the unique spiritual spring water from the space, which already had some detoxification effects. Therefore, mixing it with medicinal materials would enhance its effectiveness.
After administering the detoxification medicine, I didn’t rush to give him antibiotics but hung up bags of saline solution and nutritional fluids instead, maintaining his most basic bodily functions.
Then, I started cooking a soft, fragrant sweet potato millet porridge, adding red dates and goji berries to it. Drinking a bowl not only dispelled the cold but also warmed the stomach.
Having eaten and drunk my fill, I found another blanket and slept next to Rong Heng. The IV dripped slowly enough for me to get two hours of sleep without an issue. After setting the timer, I simply couldn’t stay awake any longer and fell asleep.
Two hours later, the alarm woke me up. Looking up, the IV was almost empty, so I quickly replaced it with a bag of nutritional fluid. Then, after a yawn, I wrapped myself in the blanket and zoned out for a while. When I finally turned my attention to Rong Heng beside me, I saw his hair had completely let down and he looked like a sleeping beauty.
His eyes were large and beautiful, especially his double eyelids and long eyelashes, even more perfect than those of a woman.
Just as I was leaning in a bit closer to get a better look, I unwittingly pulled on my shoulder and winced. I opened my clothes and looked back to find that my body was a mass of bruises - a truly horrific sight.
Perhaps because I had been too tired earlier and rushed to check Rong Heng’s body, I had neglected my own condition. Touching the back of my head, I indeed found a large bump. I thought back and remembered I must have hit something before losing consciousness.
With me looking , what about Rong Heng? Could his condition be even worse? I hadn’t been able to check him properly earlier when he was in his underwear, but now that he was in his pajamas, I didn’t hesitate to open the front and saw his copper skin beneath and an extremely sexy, chiseled physique, which caused Tangyuan to blush.
Thankfully, reason allowed me to immediately retract any inappropriate thoughts and I carefully checked his chest, back, and legs. He too had his share of bruises, but not as many as me. I suppose it was because this body of mine was more sensitive than theirs. They’re big men, with thick skin and flesh; minor scrapes and bruises didn’t impact them much.
Because of the extensive number of bruises and scrapes, I had to find a mirror and carefully applied medicine on my body.
Once our clothes were dry and the weather outside had cleared, I helped Rong Heng into his original clothes. After exiting the space, I tried to wake him up.
It was the urge to urinate that woke Rong Heng; the medicine Tangyuan had given him was all timed precisely. So, as soon as he came to, he stood up immediately.
However, the space inside the earthen slope was too cramped for his height of 1.85 meters to stand up in, and even just sitting upright, he found it oppressively small. Realizing the lack of space, he quickly bent his waist.
"Where are you going?" asked Tangyuan, puzzled as she watched him get up to leave. Just as she was about to follow, Rong Heng, without looking back, walked out of the earthen hole and only when standing upright did he turn to her and said, "I need to relieve myself. Are you planning to come along?"
