The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 343 The Difficult Journey Down the Mountain

The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, falling on the ground in patches, but it could not dispel the haze in everyone's hearts. Bai Zixuan walked in front with his back straight. His steps were a little shaky, and every step he took seemed to use up all his strength. His originally black clothes were now soaked in blood, and the dried blood stains and torn cloth were intertwined, making him look miserable. The wound on his back was like a devil's mouth, and blood kept oozing out, dripping down the corners of his clothes onto the ground.

Lin Ruoxue followed closely behind Bai Zixuan, her eyes were always locked on Bai Zixuan. Her eyes were full of worry and distress, her brows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" character. "Bai Zixuan, how are you? Your injury..." Lin Ruoxue's voice was soft and trembling, and her hands clenched unconsciously, as if this could share some of Bai Zixuan's pain.

Bai Zixuan turned his head slightly and forced a smile, which looked particularly weak on his pale face. "I'm fine, don't worry. Let's get out of here quickly." His voice was very soft, but it was full of unquestionable determination. He told himself in his heart that he must take Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan out safely, which was his responsibility.

Xiaoxuan carefully pulled the corner of Lin Ruoxue's clothes, staring at Bai Zixuan without blinking. Her lips trembled slightly, and tears flashed in her eyes. "Brother Bai, you must hold on." She whispered, her voice full of fear and anxiety.

The mountain road was rugged and uneven, and they had difficulty moving forward on the road covered with gravel and dead branches. With every step Bai Zixuan took, he could feel the piercing pain from his wound, which was like countless needles pricking his nerves. But he clenched his teeth, beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but he didn't say a word.

Lin Ruoxue looked at Bai Zixuan's difficult appearance, and her heart felt like being pressed by a huge stone, so heavy that she couldn't breathe. She wanted Bai Zixuan to stop and rest, but she was afraid that the bandits would catch up. "Bai Zixuan, your wound has been bleeding, should we bandage it first?" Lin Ruoxue asked tentatively.

Bai Zixuan shook his head and continued to walk forward. "No, there is no time. We must leave as soon as possible." His breathing became rapid, his steps became heavier, and his body began to shake uncontrollably, as if a breeze could blow him down.

Lin Ruoxue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she hurriedly reached out to support Bai Zixuan. "You can't walk anymore, your injuries are too severe." Her voice was almost crying, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

Xiaoxuan also ran over, her face flushed with nervousness. "Brother Bai, just listen to Master." She said in a tearful voice.

Bai Zixuan looked at the worried eyes of Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. But he knew that they were not out of danger yet and had to keep moving forward. He took a deep breath, tried to steady himself, and continued to take heavy steps forward. At this time, in the forest, there were only the sounds of their footsteps and heavy breathing, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.

The surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, and the leaves rustled, as if sighing for their situation. Their figures seemed so small and so determined on this winding mountain road, moving forward towards hope step by step.
