Linxi was stunned!
He did not expect this man to be so tough that he could carry a woman with one hand! It was too terrifying.
Although Chu He was very thin, at her height, she certainly had some weight on her. Gu JInglian actually carried her with one hand without batting an eyelid.
Carrying her now, he turned around and saw that Linxi was still rooted to the ground. He frowned and said coldly, “Follow close.”
“Yeah… okay.”
Linxi immediately ran to catch up.
…
The three of them traveled some way and arrived at a bomb shelter. Gu Jinglian was with the main group earlier, but as Yi Linxi had suddenly appeared along the way and subsequently they had gone to look for Chu He, he had lost contact with the main group as a result. They had initially planned to head to the signal tower to recover the signal that had been cut off so that they could make contact for reinforcements.
In this way, they parted ways and in addition, Chu He was injured. Hence, Gu Jinglian planned to find a place to manage her wound first.
The bomb shelter was dark and damp. Gu Jinglian placed Chu He in a relatively dry place. He turned around and instructed Linxi, “Bring me the gauze and iodine.”
Linxi carried Chu He’s combat bag over. He took out some iodine and gauze from the bag and handed them to Gu Jinglian.
The man untied the cloth and checked the wound. There was an obvious gunshot wound on her waist and abdomen. There was a cross on the wound but he saw no bullet shell. The bullet had been extracted.
Gu Jinglian was taken aback.
This cross was probably made to extract the bullet. Who did it?
Did she extract it herself?
How did she do it?
How could a woman have such a terrifying willpower to extract a bullet from her own wound?
However, due to the limitations of the situation, the wound had not been properly treated. If left this way, it would easily be infected.
Gu Jinglian disinfected the wound with iodine. After cleaning it thoroughly, he stopped the bleeding and covered it with a clean bandage.
It is especially painful when one’s wound is being cleaned.
Chu He woke up from the pain. She hissed and opened her eyes, frowning slightly.
Gu Jinglian glanced at her. “Painful?”
Chu He nodded as her breathing quickened. “Yes, a little.”
Gu Jinglian said, “Bear with it.”
If the wound was not treated well, it would easily get infected and become inflamed.
After he bandaged the wound, Chu He finally closed her eyes and her breathing gradually calmed down.
Gu Jinglian suddenly asked, “Why are you here?”
Chu He furrowed her eyebrows, but her face was strangely flushed. She turned her face away and did not look at him. She remained silent for a long time.
She had her pride and would never tell Gu Jinglian that it was because she was worried that she would risk her life to look for him in such a chaotic place.
She could not possibly say that she was worried that something would happen to him or that Baby Chu would lose his father…
Now, seeing that he was safe, her heart was at ease.
Gu Jinglian saw that she would not say anything, and the flush on her pale face made her look extremely strange.
He asked suspiciously, “Is it because you’re worried about me?”
“Of course not!”
Chu He interrupted him almost reflexively and said icily, “Do you think I came for you?”
Gu Jinglian fell silent.
Wasn’t it?
Wasn’t she making it obvious?
Seeing that her words were not convincing, Chu He said expressionlessly, “I came here, just… to…”
