From the villa’s emergency medicine kit, she took out various ointments, anti-inflammatory drugs, and gauze. After some thought, she peeled off the labels on the medicine bottles and then took them to Gu Peng’s room.
Gu Peng had already taken the person’s clothes off. There was a knife wound on his arm, and another on his abdomen.
Especially the abdomen, which looked like it had been stabbed.
Lin Chuxia handed over the medicine shakily, "Is this... okay? The injuries are so severe, won’t there be a risk to his life if we don’t take him to the hospital?"
Gu Peng looked at her coldly, "Regretting now?"
Lin Chuxia swallowed, saying she didn’t regret it was impossible.
But to truly leave the man lying on the street would certainly be a death sentence.
Yet taking him to the hospital also posed a risk of exposure.
Gu Peng had already taken the medicine from her hand, paused momentarily, and then looked at her again.
However, Lin Chuxia’s attention was entirely on the man, so she didn’t notice Gu Peng’s meaningful glance.
Gu Peng’s actions were very efficient. He first disinfected the wound, poured the ointment on it, and then bandaged it with gauze.
Lastly, he stuffed the anti-inflammatory pills into the man’s mouth.
Lin Chuxia quickly handed over a glass of water, which she had conveniently brought out from her space, filled with spiritual spring water.
Gu Peng hadn’t intended to give the man water, but seeing Lin Chuxia hand it over so promptly, he took it and pinched the man’s jaw, pouring the entire cup of water into him.
"Is this enough?" Lin Chuxia asked.
Gu Peng washed his hands in the basin, "He won’t die for a while. Wait until he wakes up and asks him what to do."
Hearing this, Lin Chuxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They were unfamiliar with this place and didn’t know the man’s identity.
When he wakes up, they can figure out if he should be taken to a hospital or dealt with some other way.
Seeing her still staring at the man, Gu Peng directly ushered her out, "What are you looking at? Not tired? Go sleep now."
Lin Chuxia felt a bit uneasy, "You should watch over him a bit more. In case anything happens, we can quickly figure something out."
If he really dies in his room, then they’ll have a real mess to deal with.
Gu Peng let out another snort, making it clear that he wasn’t pleased with her meddling.
With nothing else to say, she quickly returned to her room.
While carrying the man earlier, some blood had gotten on her.
Lin Chuxia showered, changed clothes, and as she lay in bed, suddenly recalled Gu Peng’s unusual behavior that night.
Thinking carefully, this wasn’t the first time Gu Peng had given her such a feeling.
A feeling strange and complex yet somewhat familiar.
Lin Chuxia sat up abruptly as an unbelievable idea crossed her mind.
Could Gu Peng have been reborn as well?
Since she and Lin Jiayi were both reborn, why couldn’t Gu Peng be?
But then it didn’t make sense. If Gu Peng were truly reborn, given his experience from the past life, he wouldn’t just be living hand-to-mouth work after coming out of the Northwest.
Lin Chuxia lay in bed, thinking this and that, even wanting to rush to Gu Peng’s room to ask him if he had been reborn.
Yet she thought if Gu Peng wasn’t reborn, it would be really odd for her to say something so inexplicable to him.
Thinking and thinking, she unknowingly fell asleep.
That night, Lin Chuxia slept uneasily and dreamed of past disputes with Li Guangyuan over business matters.
