My Little Poplar - Chap 81

“Xinyu—” Yu Fengcheng’s scream echoed throughout the valley.

Bai Xinyu had been shot in the right shoulder, the bullet had caused a penetrating wound through the shoulder socket, blood was spilled everywhere, it stung the eyes. The mercenary who fired the shot was killed immediately, the crowd gathered around, looking anxiously at Bai Xinyu and saying, “How is the princess?”

Yu Fengcheng held Bai Xinyu, his eyes are red, his voice trembles uncontrollably, “Xinyu… Xinyu…” He looked at Bai Xinyu’s bloodied and dazed face, his heart was aching and he could hardly breathe. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw Bai Xinyu, his fair skin, handsome features, bright eyes and that somewhat weak yet cocky temperament, what had transformed that Bai Xinyu into this soldier who was not afraid of life and death? It was he who should have been most aware of Bai Xinyu’s transformation but he was so close that he sometimes overlooked it.

Lao Sha pushed through the crowd, ripped open Bai Xinyu’s shirt and said, “It’s a penetrating wound, better than a bullet getting stuck in the body, got out of the way, let Mai Zi stop the bleeding, quick.”

Bai Xinyu’s eyes were out of focus, his ears were ringing, he couldn’t hear a word anyone was saying, he ‘saw’ a number of heads darting around in front of him, all with anxious expressions on their faces but only Yu Fengcheng’s face was Yu Fengcheng’s face is clearer, is Yu Fengcheng crying, are those tears? He can’t feel his shoulder, is his shoulder still there? He’s hot and cold, is he dying? So, this is what it’s like to be shot, it really hurts, it hurts like crazy but he doesn’t even have the strength to scream. Is he going to die?

Mai Zi is a doctor of Chinese medicine and a veteran of the Snowleopard team, he quickly pulled his first aid kit from his backpack and buries a silver needle deep into Bai Xinyu’s shoulder to stop the bleeding, he said: “I can only stop the bleeding temporarily, it’s so cold here, it’s easy to cause frostbite and necrosis, , we must get him to hospital now, or we may not be able to save his arm.”

At that moment, Yan Shaozhen came back from the pass with a bloody man in his arms, the mercenary who had tried to escape with the virus. Yan Shaozhen threw the man to the ground and wiped the blood off his face, “We have the virus, this one is not dead… Who’s hurt?” Bai Xinyu was surrounded by a group of people, he didn’t see it for a moment, when he searched for Bai Xinyu out of habit and didn’t find him, he reacted at once and pounced on him, he saw Bai Xinyu lying on the ground covered in blood, he felt a chill run through his body, he called out in a dumb voice: “Xinyu…”

Bai Xinyu’s somewhat lazy eyes kept staring at Yu Fengcheng, trying very hard to focus, he wanted to see more of Yu Fengcheng, if he died, he wanted to imprint Yu Fengcheng’s face on his soul, in life and death, nothing mattered, he just He wanted to remember the only person he had ever liked in his life, whether Yu Fengcheng liked him too or not. He felt a warmth in his palm, the broad hand, it was Yu Fengcheng’s, he could tell, Yu Fengcheng kept calling out to him but he couldn’t hear him anymore.

Chen Jing suddenly cried out sadly: “How is Xinyu? The lieutenant is dying!”

Yu Fengcheng woke up from his dream, he looked at Huo Qiao and then at Bai Xinyu, his face was in agony.

Mai Zi was wrapping gauze and said, “Send the lieutenant away first, I can’t help him, hurry!”

Yu Fengcheng wiped his face, the emotion in his eyes is one of endless struggle, as if he is making the hardest decision in the world and no matter what he decides, he will end up regretting and suffering. His fists clenched and finally, he looked at Bai Xinyu and stood up with all his will power.
