Chapter 37     Brothers

Xuan Luo was honestly too worried about Bai Tian, he couldn’t eat mindfully. There weren’t much rice left though, so he quickly finished it and dragged Hu Zi to find Bai Tian.

“Da ge, thank you so much.” Hu Zi took him to where the old man lived and Xuan Luo was extremely thankful. His feet weren’t steady, but he ran straight into the straw room* The straw room wasn’t big, and Xuan Luo immediately saw a person lying there. Xuan Luo’s heart tingled as he rushed over; unintentionally, tears started rolling down from the corner of his eyes.

“Bai Tian, are you alright?” cried Xuan Luo as he noticed all of Bai Tian’s scars. But Bai Tian could not hear him. Bai Tian had fallen into a coma; he looked as if he died in his sleep.

“Ugh! What are you doing, young lad?” The old man came out. Seeing Xuan Luo kneeled down next to the patient’s bedside, he was frustrated. “You better not cause more damage on top of his current damage!”

Xuan Luo snapped back into reality and looked at the old man. He begged, “Doctor, please save him…” Seeing Xuan Luo’s sincere expression, the old man sadly shook his head, “It’s all on him now.”

Hearing this, Xuan Luo felt as if the clear sky has been covered by a clap of thunder. He sat in a daze and looked hopeless. The old man saw Xuan Luo’s expression and felt helpless. Although he was a doctor, he cannot create miracles. When it came to circ.u.mstances like these, he could only try his best.

All of a sudden, Xuan Luo remembered the water from the cave and thought of a plan.

“Since the water droplets were able to  heal me in such a short amount of time, it should be able to heal Bai Tian as well!” thought Xuan Luo. When the two of them left Qian Deng Zhen, they didn’t carry much with them; since the mountains were so close to their hometown. They could have gone back whenever. They never thought they would have gotten lost.

Earlier, when Xuan Luo was testing the water droplet, he was very shocked. He didn’t think something like that existed. However, he was healed. Lots of strange things seem to happen to him. Thinking back, the droplets had to be the reason why his body healed so quickly.

“I deserve to die! How could I not have thought of collecting some water before coming over?!” Xuan Luo couldn’t help but blame himself again. However, even if he had wanted to collect the water, there was nothing he could use to collect the water with. That was a fact.

Xuan Luo’s mind was racing. He had followed the direction of the stream to get to this village. If he goes back for the water now, it would be too late. Currently, Bai Tian was on the verge of death; he could die any time. One mistake could be too late.

But his damage was far too serious, if we are relying on him to heal himself, how would it be possible in such a short amount of time? Xuan Luo doesn’t even care if Bai Tian could recover completely. Currently, he just wants Bai Tian to wake up. Being awake would help the situation.

“Since I drank/absorbed so much of the water droplets, my blood definitely possess some of the powers of the droplets. If the water droplets were really this amazing….” Xuan Luo was so worried about Bai Tian that he started thinking of crazy solutions. To him, Bai Tian is way too important; Bai Tian is the only person he could speak his heart to.

Xuan Luo didn’t want to waste any more time. He directly asked the old man, “Doctor, do you have a small knife of some sort? I need a sharp object!”

The old man seemed bewildered by Xuan Luo’s question. However, he couldn’t figure out why Xuan Luo wanted it so he just handed a small knife to him.

Xuan Luo caught the knife, but he didn’t seem to be able to focus.

“You’re really going to do this?”

“I have to!”

Honestly, Xuan Luo has never thought of inflicting harm on himself. As he held the small knife, he didn’t know where to start. But when he looked at Bai Tian, determination shone through his eyes.

He used the small knife to cut his wrist, and blood immediately oozed out. The old man was in shock. Originally, he wanted to caution Xuan Luo before he did anything; but before he could say a word, Xuan Luo had already cut himself. Everything happened so fast.

Xuan Luo placed his wrist near Bai Tian’s mouth and poured his blood into Bai Tian’s mouth**

The old man was flabbergasted. He has no idea why Xuan Luo was giving Bai Tian his blood. Currently, he had the urgency to scream. Not only that, as a doctor, he feels at fault for not preventing Xuan Luo for hurting himself in front of him.

Xuan Luo’s face was turning paler and paler as he lost more and more blood.
