She spoke, taking his hand to inspect it closely. After seeing he wasn’t bitten, she finally relaxed a bit.
Xiao Yuchuan saw the concern on his wife’s face, and his heart was warmed deeply. However, knowing she had been bitten made his heart ache with extra worry, "I’m fine." He squatted down, helping her remove a sock, and saw her fair white foot bruised where she was bitten. He hurriedly tore a piece of fabric from his sleeve and tied it above the bruise to prevent the poison from spreading.
A torrential downpour started pouring down, quickly drenching the two of them until they were soaked to the skin.
Unable to treat the wound in the rain, Xiao Yuchuan scooped Su Qingyue up horizontally and headed towards Ke Mo’s house.
Li Mu was on the first floor of Ke Mo’s house. Seeing the master carrying Su Qingyue in his arms with a swollen, bruised injury on her foot, he rushed forward to ask, "Valley Master, what happened to the Valley Master’s Wife?"
"She’s been poisoned by the Iron Wire Gu." Upon reaching the second floor, he placed Su Qingyue on the bed in the room arranged for him by Ke Mo.
Since Su Qingyue refused to share a room with Xiao Yuchuan, Ke Mo had arranged separate accommodations for them both.
Li Mu took the initiative to go to Su Qingyue’s room and brought her bundle to the master’s room, handing it over. Xiao Yuchuan took it, opened the fabric bundle, and retrieved a pack of silver needles, "Dear, bear with it for a bit. I’ll help you drain the poison blood."
"Okay." She leaned against the bedhead, her face pale as she nodded.
Xiao Yuchuan then instructed Li Mu, "Bring a washbasin over."
