Chapter 1632: Chapter 1626: Discovery

Qin Xue looked at the water stained with her blood, then glanced around and noticed a small puddle of water that was separate. She walked over and looked at the color of the water, then put her bloodied hand in. A miracle happened–the once somewhat murky water became very clear. Could it be that her blood has a purifying effect?

Qin Xue wished someone could appear now and explain things to her, but besides her, there was no one else here; today, they had all decided to search separately.

And the reason Qin Xue came here was entirely because last time, before she could find any reason, she encountered Chu Molin here. She always felt she had overlooked something, so today she returned to this place.

Looking at the scene before her, could this be the answer they had been seeking all along? Is their short lifespan due to the water quality here?

But the water quality looks very clean, otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought of cleaning her hands in it. However, the water, after being infused with her blood, became even clearer. Why is that?

Qin Xue was puzzled because she had encountered this situation before. She had also washed her bloodied hand in the water, but such a phenomenon had never occurred. The current situation truly puzzled her.

Qin Xue pondered for a long time but couldn’t find the answer she wanted. It seemed that thinking further wouldn’t lead to any conclusion, so she decided to go back first and have the elder take her to see the source of the water tomorrow.

If her blood really has a purifying effect, couldn’t she just place her blood at the source?

Qin Xue no longer cared about what was going on with the water. She cleaned her hands in it, then washed the blood from her knee, took hemostatic powder from her bag, sprinkled some on, bandaged it, and slowly walked back.

“Xue’er, what happened to you?” Chu Molin saw that it was almost dark and Qin Xue hadn’t come back yet, so he was about to go out and look for her. Then he saw her coming from a distance, but why was she limping?

“Nothing much, just accidentally tripped,” Qin Xue waved her hand dismissively. Even though the wound was not big, it was still quite painful to walk. She acted like it didn’t bother her to avoid making Chu Molin worry.

“Get on, I’ll carry you back,” Chu Molin squatted down in front of her. He wasn’t unfamiliar with injuries, so he knew how painful it must be to walk.

He admired how she still tried to act nonchalant. How adorably silly she was–didn’t she know who he was? Did she really think she could hide it from him? Such a fool.

“No.” Qin Xue directly refused and walked past him. His wound hadn’t healed yet; carrying her would require strength, and that would open his wound. Then she would have to tend to his injury, which wasn’t what she wanted. So she didn’t want him to carry her, even if it hurt.

“It’s fine, it won’t tear open,” Chu Molin was taken aback, realizing why she refused him. But her weight wouldn’t require him to exert much strength.

“I said no means no. Just help me walk, slowly,” Qin Xue still didn’t want him to carry her but asked him to support her instead, thinking it might be easier for him that way.

“Why are you so stubborn?” Chu Molin thought of just picking her up, but seeing her warning look, he felt helpless.

His wife understood him too well, so he had no choice but to help her walk slowly, fearing she might fall again and get more injuries if left alone.

At that moment, the pain was in her body but in his heart, making both feel uncomfortable. So it was better for him to assist her.
