Chapter 179: Chapter 52

Yoni's wounds strongly stank of blood, which was apparently mixed with the raider's blood.

Kanghyok couldn't examine the wounds closely.

‘Let me wipe the blood first.'

He opened the bag quickly and took out a sap, so he could soak a gauze in it.

“Uh….”

She wriggled her body, groaning with pain as water permeated into the wounds on her thighs.

Blood was coming out from her thighs whenever she moved.

“Endure it for a moment. Let me wash your face first.”

Kanghyok wiped the crusted blood off her face, which helped reveal her face fully.

Round eyes, prominent nose, red lips and dark skin.

‘She is a beauty!'

As expected, Kanghyok was carried away by her beautiful face for a moment.

‘What are you looking at, master?”

“Oh, I was rubbing the blood that crusted off your face.”

He quickly showed her the gauze stained with blood.

“What happened to that raider?” she asked, picking up the sword on the gra.s.sy ground.

“No worries. You killed that radier wearing a helmet before we came here. Some other raiders tried to chase us, but they gave up,” Kanghyok said comfortably.

She noticed a bit of bleeding from his face that came about by being scratched here and there by twigs.

With her eyes widening with surprise, she approached him.

“Were you hurt, master?”

“Oh, this? It's not a big deal. Just scratched by twigs while we were running here.”

“You've got blood on your face.”

“Don't worry about me. Actually, I see more bleeding from your thighs. Lie down.”

“Really? Ouch…”

Only then did she feel the pain in her thighs.

She looked down at her pants stained with red blood.

Even Kanghyok's overcoat, where she lied upon as she was carried up to this place, was bloodstained.

“Sorry, master…”

“Nope, it's not your fault. I've survived thanks to you,” said Kanghyok sincerely.

He might have perished without her protection.

“Master, you've saved me, too.”

“Huh?”

“That stone…”

“Oh, that stone.”

Come to think of it, he owed his life to Preceptor Samyong.

‘What the heck was that stone?'

The s.h.i.+ny stone Kanghyok used to hit straight the raider's neck was now nothing more than an ordinary stone once it served its purpose.

If Kanghyuk had come to his senses a bit earlier, he could have retrieved it in the battlefield.

But he was too busy with carrying her on his back to escape from there.

‘How fortunate that we have survived like this!'

When he thought of what happened last night, it was indeed a miraculous situation.

He survived from the first war that he had ever experienced in his entire life.

“When did you learn to throw stones accurately?” asked Yoni.

“Throwing stones? By sheer luck. Let me examine your wounds first.”

“What?”

She stopped nodding and looked at him curiously, fo Kanghyok was now about to check her thighs.

“I'm a doctor, so don't worry.”

“I know that, but…”

“You'll be in big trouble if I don't treat you now. Haven't you seen Yoju's case?”

She could have died because of that small needle stuck on her sores.

Or she could have had one of her legs amputated.

Yoni's condition, whose thighs were injured by the j.a.panese raider, was more serious.

“Got it, master.”

“Good. You are fine in the other parts of your body.”

Nodding his head, he checked over her face and upper body.

Though he saw some blood clots here and there, she looked pretty good.

“Let me unwrap the bandage.”

“Yes, master.”

He began to unwrap the bandage tightly bound around her thighs.

Though he bound them up a while ago, there was still some bleeding. Apparently, the cut was really deep.

‘That b.a.s.t.a.r.d… He was a nimble guy with his sword.'

In Kanghyok's eyes, Yoni was also a fine fighter.

She beheaded as many as ten j.a.panese raiders.

“How does it look, master?”

“Hmm? I think I need to wash the wounds first.”

“Wash them?”

“Yes. Didn't you see that raider? He beheaded several soldiers on our side.”

Yoni clearly remembered the s.h.i.+ny sword held by that raider, which was stained with blood.

That meant her wounds might have been infected.

“While I am wiping the wounds with water, just drink this.”

“Yes, master.”

“As it is saline solution, it will taste strange. It's okay, though.”

“Oh, I see…”

She swallowed an antibiotic pill and anti-inflammatory drugs he gave her.

She formed a big frown while swallowing.

“Now, you will feel very icy on your wounds.”
