Chapter 96: Don’t Think of Anything
96 Don’t Think of Anything
After resting for a while, Jun Min quickly checks onto Soujin's wound. There are a lot of marks and blood around him, making him looks rather ghostly. At the very least, he is still breathing clearly.
Jun Min tears up Soujin clothes and sees that some of them are heavy wound while the others are merely scratches. She's a bit surprised to see the fine body of Soujin, which unconsciously make her cheeks hot. Although she is used with seeing man, this is the first time she sees someone with such 'perfect' body.
It lasted for less than one seconds as she shakes her head and disperse that thought as fast as possible. The other party is hurt and she's still thinking about that? She needs to learn to remember that at this time she's a guy and not that little girl on the capital.
Jun Min turned her attention to the wound. She's a soldier, so she knows some of the basic first-aid. Because she's still bringing her small pouch on her waist, she could do the treatment for Soujin. The pouch is made with animal skin, which prevent waters to get inside so the content are mainly still in good shape.
After cleaning up the wound and give some medicine, Jun Min is in dilemma. The wound is too big for her just closing it with cloth. It needed to be stitched which she cannot do. Jun Min remembers that she still brings her needle, because of habit from learning embroidery every day, but she never stitched wound before.
"If I do it the same way as embroidery… will it be alright?" Jun Min hesitantly looks towards the other party.
With Jun Min small body, there's no way she can drag Soujin all the way up despite there's indeed a small path near them. In addition, with the wound on Soujin body, he might get complication even before they reached the top of this cliff.
"After this, we need to bring you to the doctor as fast as possible," Jun Min gritted her teeth and starts to gather her concentration. She doesn't bring thread, so hair should do it…
With her remembering the way she did it before, Jun Min started to move the needle and stitched up the wound on Soujin body. Her hand moved fast, but sweats starting to appear on her forehead and by the time she's done, Jun Min feels really weak.
"The treatment is done… I want to sleep…"
Leaning back to the wall, Jun Min closes her eyes and goes to the dreamland. Not caring about her wet clothes anymore, she sleeps soundly. Thankfully, due to her stronger physical strength, just a few hours wearing wet clothes won't make her sick. Of course, that is if she is in perfect health.
The two of them passed out like that and the noisy water current on the side was incapable of waking them up.
Soujin wake up a few hours after that. Their clothes have been drying by the time they're sleeping. He looks around and finally his gaze arrived at the little kid before him who is sleeping soundly.
"Where are we?"
Looking around, Soujin noticed that there is water current beside them and his body is full of bandages. He faintly remembers that he holds Jun Min in his arm when they're falling. Somehow, when he looks at the other party when they're falling, he remembers the little girl he meets on the academy, so he subconsciously holds the other party.
Soujin shakes his head at that thought. How could he think of Jun Min as a girl? Both of them have similar stature, but it shouldn't mean that they're the same person… right?
Glancing at the other party, he shakes her shoulder. "Jun Min, wakes up."
Jun Min opened her eyes drowsily. At first she doesn't recognize this place, but looking towards Soujin who's still riddled with bandages, she subconsciously blushed and turned her head away.
"What is it?"
"What happened yesterday?"
Jun Min doesn't have the courage to tell him that she stitches his wound, so she just narrated it in a slightly different version.
"Thanks."
"I should be the one saying thank you, you shielded me when we're falling."
Soujin laughed. "About that, I just somehow remember of your sister when we're falling. A girl shouldn't hurt their body, so I moved without thinking."
Jun Min wants to dig out a hole right now. Has her identity been found out? But from Soujin narration, he noticed that the other party only thought of her as Jun Hua and it doesn't mean that he had noticed about it. Jun Min feels immense relief when her thought arrived here.
But didn't Ming Hui say that Soujin has sharp eyes? How come he didn't notice something so obvious like this? Maybe the sharp Soujin surprisingly cannot notice something that's right before his eyes? It's kind of funny, though.
"Still, thank you."
Soujin nodded. He looks upwards. "There is a stone path over there, can you walk?"
Jun Min feels really awkward. Maybe she shouldn't have used her martial arts to stitch Soujin wound a few hours before as it drained her energy. She doesn't have the courage to tell that she doesn't have any energy left.
"What is it? You can't even walk?"
Jun Min glared at the other party. Dragging Soujin up shore is already taxing with their difference in physique and included her action of treating his wound, she had drained her energy. Although the sleep has helped her, what she needs the most is food and not just sleeps. Besides, climbing such steep cliff, it will be a miracle if she could do it with this tired body.
"Let me carried you on my back," Soujin decides after seeing that Jun Min is indeed cannot move. He doesn't want to carry a guy, but he can make an exception…
Jun Min doesn't want to move even more. She has never been close to any guy before including in the military since her uncle would beat up anyone who dares to get close with her when she's still weak. And after she has gained more strength, she can chase them out by herself without relying on her uncle anymore.
"Are you sure?"
"I can think of you as your sister. You have the same stature after all," Soujin remarked.
"…"
If Jun Min is not Jun Hua, she would have the urge to beat up Soujin even more, which is if she has the strength for that. While sighing on her mind, Jun Min climbed up to Soujin back and holds his shoulder. Thankfully, she hadn't undergone puberty yet, so it's not obvious that she is a girl.
"Don't think of anything."
"…"
That's her words alright!
