A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 147 Why is your hand still bleeding?

Gu Qingfeng assumed she knew he was injured, so he first steadied himself and then tied a gauze scarf around his wound.

Zhou Hanzhang realized he was injured when he saw that the man had directly tied the silk scarf around his hand instead of covering his face.

With her face covered, the injury had lessened, and she was finally able to speak smoothly. She looked at Gu Qingfeng and asked again, "Are you injured?"

Gu Qingfeng then understood and nodded.

Zhou Hanzhang then took out a gauze scarf and handed it over, pointing to his own face.

Gu Qingfeng immediately understood. After taking the gauze and wrapping it around his face, he was finally able to speak, "It's nothing serious, just some scratches."

"What exactly was that thing just now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be bats. If these caves haven't been visited for a long time, they will accumulate a lot of bats, but most of these bats are non-venomous."

I think the sudden sandstorm probably startled them, which is why they started running around wildly.

What do we do next? Should we go up or continue down?

"Let's keep going and find out when it will happen."

Gu Qingfeng's hand was hastily bandaged, but it wasn't very well done, and blood kept dripping down, but he didn't seem to care.

He let the blood drip down, and unnoticed by them, the stones continued to absorb his blood.

The sandstorms gradually subsided as more and more blood seeped into the stones.

After the sandstorm completely stopped, Zhou Hanzhang noticed that Gu Qingfeng's hand was still bleeding. "Why is your hand still bleeding?"

Gu Qingfeng himself hadn't even noticed, but when Zhou Hanzhang mentioned it, he looked at his arm and said, "Oh, it's nothing, it'll be fine in a bit."

He noticed that his arm was slightly numb, but he didn't think much of it, assuming it was just from the wind and sand mixed with cold air earlier.

Looking at his face, Zhou Hanzhang was somewhat worried. "Why don't we go up first? Your arm can't keep bleeding like this."

"Hey, it's nothing. I've had plenty of minor injuries. Let's find Shi Jian as soon as possible. Didn't Shi Jian say something was strange here? Maybe he discovered something."

Seeing his insistence, Zhou Hanzhang had no choice but to give up. He looked around and noticed that the surroundings seemed brighter than when he had first entered.

Gu Qingfeng had good eyesight; he noticed a light flickering behind Zhou Hanzhang.

"Turn your body slightly to the side; there seems to be light behind you."

"When?" Zhou Hanzhang asked, turning to the side.

"I'm not sure. There's a platform over there. If we want to get over, we'll have to untie the rope and jump. Can you do that?"

Zhou Hanzhang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wait a moment."

Before she came down, she had untied the rope from Shihe, which was now in her bundle. She pulled out the rope and said to Gu Qingfeng, "Could you help me? I'll tie this rope to the one I'm wearing, and then use the rope to go down."

It's not that she can't jump over, it's just that Gu Qingfeng is injured. What if something goes wrong if she jumps over?

Gu Qingfeng didn't hesitate for long and reached out to hug Zhou Hanzhang.

Zhou Hanzhang's eyes widened as he looked at the hand that was still dripping blood. "No need."

Gu Qingfeng was puzzled. She had just asked him to help her up, but now she was saying no. What did that mean?

Zhou Hanzhang slowly moved from his original position to Gu Qingfeng's, saying, "Move back a little."

Gu Qingfeng obediently moved back a little, and Zhou Hanzhang then nestled himself between Gu Qingfeng and the stone wall, saying, "Let me lean on you for a bit."

When Zhou Hanzhang fell into his arms, Gu Qingfeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "You...you be careful."

"fine."

After saying that, Zhou Hanzhang tied the rope on his body together with the rope from before, made a tight knot, and then pulled on it to test its strength.

After finding no problems, he said to Gu Qingfeng, "I'll go down this rope first and take a look. You wait here for my notification before coming down. If anything is wrong, go back up first and then come find me."

"How can this be allowed?"

"Let's not talk about this now. You're injured, so there's no reason for you to go down and scout ahead."

After saying this, Zhou Hanzhang gripped the rope tightly and slowly climbed down.

Sure enough, she soon spotted a platform and immediately waved to Gu Qingfeng, "There's a platform here, slow down and come down."

She wanted to go in and take a look, but she was worried about Gu Qingfeng and decided to let him come down first.

Gu Qingfeng was already planning to come down, and upon hearing Zhou Hanzhang's voice, he was about to jump down.

“Climb down with the rope, don’t jump.” Zhou Hanzhang was startled by him.

“It’s pitch black here. Who knows if you can jump onto this platform? If you can’t jump down and fall to the bottom of the cave, who knows what’s waiting for us? Even if you’re highly skilled in martial arts, there’s no such risk.”

Gu Qingfeng thought about it for a moment, and finally climbed down the rope.

After Gu Qingfeng came down, Zhou Hanzhang found a rock and tied the rope to it so that they could climb back up the rope later.

After completing all this, Zhou Hanzhang took out a luminous pearl from his pocket.

When the luminous pearl was taken out, the entire platform lit up with a soft light, and Zhou Hanzhang used this light to look at Gu Qingfeng's injured hand.

I was shocked when I saw it: "Why is your hand still bleeding?!"

When she unwrapped the gauze, she discovered that his wound was covered with dense blisters filled with blood, and the wound was bleeding continuously.

She was startled. "Could that bat be carrying some kind of virus? Why does it have so many blisters?"

Gu Qingfeng was also startled by her expression. "No way?"

Zhou Hanzhang's expression was serious. He first put down the bundle and tried to take out a water bottle from it to clean the wound.

At this moment, Little Cuiyan jumped down from the bundle, saw Gu Qingfeng's wound, let out a "woof", her eyes gleamed, and stuck out her tongue to lick it.

"Emerald Flame!"

Zhou Hanzhang was startled. He didn't know if the wound was infected with a virus, and he didn't know if there would be any problems with Cuiyan licking it like this.

She quickly went up to try to pull Cuiyan away, but Cuiyan was unwilling and stubbornly clung to Gu Qingfeng's sleeve.

"Emerald Flame, there might be..."

Zhou Hanzhang wanted to say that the wound was poisonous, but when he looked up, he saw that the bleeding in the area licked by the emerald flame had stopped, and the blisters seemed to be subsiding.

"what?"

She had a guess in her mind, but she wasn't quite sure. In the end, she didn't continue to hold Cuiyan's hand.

Without any resistance, Cuiyan excitedly let out another "woof" and continued to lick Gu Qingfeng's wound.

It licked for a while, then obediently returned to Zhou Hanzhang's side.
