Vente, annoyed, directly lifted the beast skin mat, pushed aside the dry grass beneath, revealing a small hole, and said in a deep voice, "The centipedes come out of the earth."
"..." The few people were speechless. Blaming anyone now was useless; it was their oversight.
Vente didn't care about them; he only felt sorry for his Yueyue, who had suffered pain for no reason!
Shu Yue wiped the needle clean and put it away, comforting them, "It's meaningless to pursue this now. Take Miao Xiaocui back and let an experienced elder help her with it. When she wakes up, comfort her emotions, which will be beneficial for her recovery."
Yin Xiao and the others nodded and left with heavy hearts. They indeed needed to think about how to comfort their mates.
After they left, Shu Yue finally let go of her composure and hopped around in pain, crying miserably, "Vente, I'm in so much pain!"
"Such a long needle, three-quarters of it went in. If it had gone any deeper, it wouldn't have been able to be pulled out!" As decisive as she was when pulling out the needle, she was equally fearful in retrospect.
She was too unlucky!
Vente hugged her, his heart aching, "Why didn't you dodge her? Let's go back quickly. We need to apply some medicine. The wound is too deep."
Shu Yue nodded with a bitter face, "Let's go back quickly. Today is too unlucky!"
The two also returned shortly after.
No one knew that the bad luck was still to come.
...
Miao Xiaocui woke up and tried to sit up from the bed. As she was about to get up, she lay back down, feeling dizzy, her limbs weak and soft.
"What's wrong with me?"
Da Ming heard the movement and walked over, "Cui, how are you feeling? Does your body still feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Miao Xiaocui was helped to sit up by her mate, her throat dry. "Da Ming, I want to drink water. What's wrong with me? Why do I have no strength in my body?"
Da Ming propped up the pillow for her to lean against and got up to pour her water. "Cui, don't you remember? You were poisoned yesterday."
She had been unconscious for a day and a night.
Miao Xiaocui suddenly remembered. Yes, she seemed to have been bitten by a snake!
She immediately panicked and said, "I was poisoned? Has the poison been neutralized? Is the child okay?"
When the child was mentioned, Da Ming's action of pouring water clearly paused. Miao Xiaocui noticed it and stared at him intently, asking, "Da Ming, say something!"
Da Ming poured the water, walked over slowly, "Cui, drink the water first. I'll tell you after you drink it."
Miao Xiaocui was really very thirsty, took the cup, and drank it down in one go, urging, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Da Ming gathered his thoughts for a few seconds before saying, "Cui, you need to calm down. Shu Yue helped you neutralize the poison, but the child... it's okay, we'll have one in the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, the ceramic cup fell to the ground. Miao Xiaocui broke down, "How could this happen! How could this happen!"
"Why did I lose my child again!!!" Miao Xiaocui cried out in despair.
As she cried, she recalled yesterday. She had clearly protected her belly. The snake had bitten her thigh!
No! No, no! She had hit a rock, and it was because she hit the rock that she lost the child!
Miao Xiaocui stopped crying, raised her reddened eyes, grabbed Da Ming's arm with both hands, and said emotionally, "Da Ming! It was Shu Yue who pushed me onto the rock, and that's why I lost my child!"
"Shu Yue pushed me!"
Da Ming was stunned to hear this, "Cui, calm down. Shu Yue didn't push you; she was the one who neutralized the poison for you!"
He thought Miao Xiaocui's thinking was a bit confused due to her extreme emotional agitation.
However, Miao Xiaocui felt she was extremely clear-headed now. Seeing that he didn't believe her, she quickly lifted her clothes, revealing her back where she had hit the rock, "Da Ming, look, is there any bruising here? This is proof that Shu Yue pushed me!"
Her skin was fairer and much more delicate than the females here. Any bump or bruise would leave a mark. She had felt a lot of pain yesterday, and she knew it had turned blue without even looking.
Da Ming looked up and indeed saw a bruise.
In an instant, he also began to doubt, "Did Shu Yue really push you?"
Miao Xiaocui nodded with a gloomy expression, "It was her. Why did she want to harm my child!"
She thought of Yin Xiao. Could it be that Shu Yue couldn't stand Yin Xiao having a child?
Her mind was in a mess. This was the only possibility she could think of. Otherwise, why would Shu Yue want to harm her and her child!
How could Shu Yue be so wicked? She lived such a good life, yet she couldn't stand to see her live well!
"Da Ming, where are the others?"
Da Ming said, "They went hunting and to find snow crystal fruit. Cui, what are you going to do?"
Miao Xiaocui gritted her teeth, "I'm going to settle the score with Shu Yue! She caused me to lose my child, and I won't let this go!"
Da Ming was still somewhat rational, "Cui, don't be impulsive. Things haven't been clarified yet. What if it wasn't Shu Yue?"
Miao Xiaocui excitedly retorted, "How could it not be her? Didn't you see the bruise on my back! She pushed me at the time, so it's not like I bumped into the rock myself!"
"Da Ming! Don't you want revenge for the child?!"
Da Ming looked troubled, "Cui, I'm also sad about the child, but we haven't clarified things yet. Shu Yue helped you detoxify, we can't misunderstand her."
At that time, Shu Yue's arm was also injured, but she didn't care about her own injury and detoxified her first. He remembered this favor. If they misunderstood her, how would they face her in the future!
Miao Xiaocui didn't care about that. Seeing that Da Ming didn't agree with her, she frantically beat his arm, "Da Ming! You don't believe me, do you!"
Da Ming grabbed her hand, afraid she would get too agitated and faint again. He comforted her, "Cui, I believe you. Can you calm down first? Let's discuss it after everyone else returns, okay?"
Miao Xiaocui couldn't say anything. Crying and cursing, she finally fainted again.
Da Ming anxiously called her name twice, "Cui? Cui? Wake up!"
Miao Xiaocui showed no reaction, with tear stains on her face, but there was breathing from her nostrils.
Da Ming guessed she had fainted and hesitated whether to ask Shu Yue to take a look. It would be reassuring to have her look, but he was afraid Miao Xiaocui would suddenly wake up and conflict with Shu Yue, and then how would he explain it to her!
Vente and Shu Yue were not to be offended.
Forget it, Cui was just too emotionally agitated. She would be fine after a sleep.
In the afternoon, Yin Xiao and the others who had gone out returned. Seeing that Miao Xiaocui was still asleep, they all asked worriedly, "Cui has been unconscious for so long?"
Da Ming shook his head and told them about the day's events, saying worriedly, "Cui said that Shu Yue pushed her, and because she hit a rock, she lost the child. I looked at Cui's back, and there was indeed a bruise. What do you think we should do about this?"
Yin Xiao and the others stepped forward to examine her back. After A Yong looked, he said, "This bruise is indeed from hitting a rock. Why would Shu Yue push Cui?"
Yin Xiao rationally analyzed, "It's impossible for Shu Yue to push her. She has no reason to do so."
Da Ming thought the same way. If she really wanted to harm Cui's child, why would she still give her acupuncture treatment to save her?
