Hearing Xu Momo's words, Xu Rui was stunned for a second. Then, he quickly walked over to support Xu Momo.
Two rows of teeth marks appeared on the top of Xu Momo's foot, and blood was slowly oozing out of the wound.
Xu Momo suddenly felt an unbearable pain from her wound. She felt her limbs become cold and stiff because of fear, and she leaned weakly against Xu Rui.
Xu Rui bent down and quickly took a photo of the bushes next to him with his phone.
"…What should I do?" Xu Momo said with a sobbing tone.
She had never been bitten by a poisonous snake in her life. She could not help but think of the scene in the TV series where she was bitten by a poisonous snake and died of poisoning. People liked to scare themselves the most at times like this. Xu Momo was a good example.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you sit down first." Xu Rui whispered hoarsely.”
Then, she sat down on a rock beside her.
At this moment, the wound had begun to swell.
She watched as Xu Rui took out a Swiss Army knife, a bottle of mineral water, and a lighter from his bag.
"…What are you doing?" Xu Momo asked with difficulty.
Xu Rui didn't say anything. Instead, he tied a handkerchief around Xu Momo's wound.
Then, he burned the tip of the knife with a lighter.
He took off his sunglasses and hung them in front of his chest. He raised his head and looked at her with his calm eyes."It might hurt a little."
Xu Momo was so tortured by the pain that she couldn't speak. She could only grit her teeth and nod.
Xu Rui rinsed her wound with mineral water. He didn't know if it was because of the heat or because he was nervous, but his forehead began to sweat. He took a deep breath and gently pinched Xu Momo's ankle." Don't move."”
As soon as he finished speaking, he cut Xu Momo's wound with a knife.
Probably because the wound had already begun to swell and numb due to the intense pain, Xu Momo did not feel particularly painful. A small amount of poisonous blood flowed out of the wound, but the swelling did not show any signs of reducing.
After sucking out the remaining poisonous blood through the plastic bag, Xu Rui rinsed Xu Momo's wound with clean water again. The cold water made Xu Momo feel that the swelling and pain in her wound seemed to have lessened a little.
"You'll be fine." Xu Rui suddenly said softly," I was bitten by a poisonous snake when I was young. That's how my dad dealt with it.”
Xu Momo gritted her teeth and nodded with a pale face.
"There's a county hospital nearby." Xu Rui turned on his phone.”He immediately called the emergency number. Soon, he put down the phone."Their ambulance can only reach the foot of the mountain.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly bent down and said to Xu Momo,"I'll carry you."
Xu Momo didn't hesitate. She hugged Xu Rui's neck tightly as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.
When they returned to the mountain road, they found that the other students had long disappeared.
Xu Momo tried to divert her attention from the heart-wrenching pain in her foot. Her ear was pressed against Xu Rui's shoulder, and her heavy breathing echoed in her ears.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Xu Rui's T-shirt was drenched in sweat. However, they were still at least an hour away from the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, a burst of thunder came from the sky, and bean-sized raindrops began to fall. In order to prevent the rain from infecting the wound, Xu Rui covered Xu Momo's injured foot with a plastic bag.
"…Hold on for a little longer. We'll be there soon.”Xu Rui whispered hoarsely, not knowing if he was encouraging himself or comforting Xu Momo.
Xu Momo couldn't say anything and could only nod.
Fifteen minutes later, they finally reunited with the other students.
"What happened?" He Xiaofei looked at the two drenched men in surprise.
"I was bitten by a poisonous snake." Xu Rui replied.
He Xiaofei looked at Xu Rui and was slightly stunned."Aren't you…"
"Hurry up and get someone to help.”Xu Rui said stiffly.
He Xiaofei glanced at the pale Xu Momo, nodded, and ran away.
"Do you need help?" A boy asked Xu Rui.
"I called the ambulance." Xu Rui shook his head. You guys go down the mountain first and meet up with the ambulance.”
A boy with better stamina agreed and turned to run down the mountain.
Soon, the ambulance arrived along the mountain road.
Xu Momo was sent to the ambulance. The medical staff treated her wound urgently and comforted her that because her wound was treated in time, she did not have to worry about the poison spreading.
"Do you know what poisonous snake bit you?”the medical staff suddenly asked.
Xu Rui, who was sitting in the ambulance, immediately took out his phone and showed the photo he had just taken to the other party.
"It really is a short-tailed viper." The medical staff immediately recognized the snake." Recently, there have been snakes like this appearing in the nearby mountainous areas.”
Now that he knew what kind of snake it was, it would be much easier to treat it.
One of the medical staff smiled and said to Xu Momo,"Fortunately, your boyfriend has some common sense. Recently, we have received many people who were bitten by this kind of snake. Most of them can't tell what kind of snake they were bitten by.”

Xu Momo was quickly sent to the hospital in the county town.
After treating the wound and injecting the antivenom serum, Xu Momo was told by the doctor to rest for a period of time and continue to stay in the hospital for observation.
Xu Momo looked at Xu Rui, who was sitting by her bed. The T-shirt he was wearing was completely wet from the rain, and the rain was dripping down from the ends of his hair.
"I called Uncle Xu and the others.”Xu Rui said softly.
"Yes." Xu Momo nodded weakly.
She suddenly realized that Xu Rui had been grabbing her left wrist."What happened to your hand?"
Xu Rui immediately put down his wrist with a calm expression."It's just a little sprain.”
After that, Xu Rui silently accompanied Xu Momo.
He Xiaofei and the others arrived half an hour later. Seeing that Xu Momo was safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Just an hour later, Father Xu appeared in the ward in a hurry. It looked like he had probably sped all the way here from the highway.
As soon as Father Xu rushed into the ward, he rushed to Xu Momo's bed.
After repeatedly confirming that his daughter was fine, Father Xu's tense expression finally relaxed.
"Ruirui, I really don't know how to thank you.”Father Xu held Xu Rui's hand excitedly." Doctor Xu, you saved Mo Mo once before. This time, it's you again. Thank you so much."”
Xu Rui seemed to be at a loss. He nodded silently and turned to look in Xu Momo's direction as if he was asking for help.
Xu Momo could not help but smile.""Your voice is too loud, Dad.”
Only then did Father Xu react. He let go of Xu Rui's hand and chuckled."Sorry, sorry."

That night, Xu Momo was transferred to a large hospital in B City.
The doctor said that Xu Momo's injury was no longer a big deal. However, to be on the safe side, they still suggested that Xu Momo stay in the hospital for a few days.
A week later, the swelling on Xu Momo's foot finally subsided. The doctor said that she could leave the hospital and go home to recuperate.
Back at home, Xu Momo spent three whole days eating and dressing.
Mother Xu had specially applied for leave to take care of her at home. She helped her change her dressing every day and observed the swelling of her wound. Fortunately, the infection that often appeared in snake bites did not happen, and the wound healed very smoothly.
Because she had been ordered to go out as little as possible and rest more, she stayed at home almost every day, watching movies, eating snacks, and living comfortably.
However, this meant that she would not have many chances to meet Xu Rui.
Xu Momo couldn't help but feel a little itchy after not seeing Xu Rui for several days.
It was finally the weekend, and Mother Xu was not at home that day. She felt that her feet did not hurt as much anymore, so she threw away her walking stick and took a taxi to Xu Rui's place.
Along the way, she had been imagining Xu Rui's surprised expression. When she reached the door, she pressed the doorbell a few times. Soon, the door opened.
However, the person who appeared at the door was not Xu Rui.
"Uncle Xu?" Xu Momo said in surprise.
Doctor Xu was stunned.”He immediately reacted and asked with concern,"Is your foot better?"
"Mm." Xu Momo nodded.
"You're here to see Ruirui, right?" Doctor Xu hesitated.”
Xu Momo nodded in embarrassment.
Doctor Xu fell silent thoughtfully for a moment.
"Come in quickly." He smiled and said," Ruirui just woke up and is taking a shower in the bathroom.”
After waiting on the sofa for a few minutes, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
Xu Rui only had a towel tied around his waist. She walked out of the bathroom half-naked.
Then, he was surprised to find that there was another person on the sofa.
Xu Momo's eyes widened.
Xu Rui's body was slightly pale, but it was much sturdier than she had imagined. She couldn't help but feel that her face was burning, and her gaze was erratic. In the end, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Rui from the corner of her eye.
"Go and change your clothes.”Doctor Xu saw that his son was stunned on the spot and could not help but remind him.
Xu Rui immediately turned around and hurried into the bedroom.
Soon, he changed into his pajamas and walked out.
He sat next to Xu Momo and asked in a low voice,""Why are you here?"
"It's nothing. I just suddenly wanted to come over and see you." Xu Momo replied softly.
Just as the two of them were whispering to each other, Doctor Xu suddenly said,"Are you two…dating?”
Seeing the two of them looking at him nervously at the same time, Doctor Xu realized that his tone might be a little stiff, so he smiled and said,"I'm not blaming you, I'm just asking.”
Xu Rui nodded slightly.”
Doctor Xu suddenly laughed again."Oh, this is good." He suddenly became serious." Momo is a good girl. You have to treat her better, understand?”
Xu Rui hummed again.
" Also…" Doctor Xu frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something. He glanced at Xu Momo and suddenly changed the topic." Oh right, you can bring Momo to the wedding next week."”
"Wedding?" Xu Momo was surprised.
" Yes, my wedding with Aixin." Doctor Xu smiled." I think if I tell them that Ruirui has a girlfriend, they might not believe me. You must come and participate, Mo.”
Xu Momo nodded in agreement.
Soon, Doctor Xu stood up and was about to leave. Before he left, he lowered his voice and said to his son,"You can date her, but don't do anything rash. Don't do what you shouldn't do, you know what I mean…"
"What…shouldn't be done?" Xu Rui frowned.”
Doctor Xu looked at his son helplessly. He did not know if he really did not understand or if he was pretending.
"It's nothing." Doctor Xu sighed." Alright, it's getting late. I still have something to do at the hospital later. I'll be leaving first."”
"Yes."
After Doctor Xu left, Xu Rui went to the kitchen to pour Xu Momo a glass of orange juice.
When he returned to the living room, he saw Xu Momo bending over to look for a disc in the drawer under the cabinet.
Xu Momo suddenly stopped. What movie is this…"
She glanced at the slightly hot cover and was shocked. She quickly stuffed the disc back into the drawer.
Xu Rui stopped in his tracks. He had seen a woman on the cover of the book just now…
He secretly swore that he would pick out all the discs that Kou Xinglan had mixed in and throw them into the trash can later.
