Chapter 2477

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Wu Ming endured the pain in his body, reached out to brace himself on the ground, and tried his best to appear calm.

The one returning might not be that girl; it could also be the approaching enemy.

This is something he needs to be vigilant about at all times.

But very soon, Wu Ming knew that the one returning was his girl.

So, when Baili Xia returned to the cave, Wu Ming’s face, although pale, still had a trace of smile on his lips.

“Wu Ming, I found the herbs.”

Baili Xia held up the herbs, shook her hand vigorously, and quickly came to Wu Ming, sitting directly on the ground this time.

Before Wu Ming could say anything, she had already started plucking the leaves of the herbs one by one, placing them in her mouth, and chewing rapidly.

Wu Ming, who had been staring at her small face, finally noticed the few wounds on her palm.

He pressed his left palm against his abdomen, reached out with his left hand, and forcefully pulled her injured hand over.

“What happened?” As he spread her palm open, Wu Ming’s face immediately turned gloomy.

“I accidentally slipped while picking herbs earlier, it’s nothing serious.”

Baili Xia gave him a light smile, looking indifferent.

After all, now everything in her mind is focused on one thing: extracting the bullet from Wu Ming’s body and bandaging his wound as soon as possible.

Baili Xia wanted to take her hand back, but was stopped by Wu Ming.

Gripping her hand tightly, Wu Ming couldn’t help but reprimand, “How could you be so careless? Knowing it’s so dangerous, why did you still go picking?”

“But, but…”

Baili Xia had been diligently chewing the herbs, but being blocked by him like this, she momentarily didn’t know how to respond.

If danger meant not picking… he knew to criticize her, but why didn’t he think about himself?

Knowing the danger, why did he still choose to save her at that time?

However, it was clear that this guy was really angry now, so angry that he seemed to want to tear her apart.

Is it necessary to be so worried over just a little scratch on the palm?

Besides, this guy himself had been shot, and his wound was still bleeding…

Yet, Baili Xia was also aware of Wu Ming’s temperament; even if she argued back, she’d never win against him.

Whatever he decided, it seemed difficult for her to change it.

Moreover, bickering with him now would only delay the time for extracting the bullet.

But attending to their own tasks didn’t seem to conflict with each other.

Seeing her handing over her right hand, picking leaves to chew, Wu Ming stopped saying more, grabbing the herbs she had collected earlier.

He plucked a few leaves and began to rub them in his palm, quickly producing droplets of juice.

Spreading Baili Xia’s hand open again, Wu Ming carefully treated her wound, even tearing a piece of cloth from his clothing to bandage her.

Once he finished bandaging her wound, Baili Xia had already spat out the first chewed leaf.

At this moment, she felt immensely heavy-hearted; why was he so good to her? Was it worth it?

This was the second time Baili Xia asked herself this question today.

Was it worth it? She thought it wasn’t.

Strictly speaking, they weren’t really anything to each other, just friends.

Baili Xia had never seen friends who would go to such lengths.

Spitting out the chewed herbs, Baili Xia hurriedly placed them on a large leaf she had just picked, waiting for use.

“Brace yourself, I’m about to start.”
