"You... your wound..."
Megan walked up to Darryl quickly. She asked about his wound anxiously.
"It's okay." Darryl shook his head, looking relaxed.
In fact, he was just holding the pain in.
His wound was affected when he wielded the Bloody Drinking Sword earlier, he was in a lot of pain.
Megan nodded and said nothing more. She still looked very worried through her eyes when she took the little girl into the car.
The moment Darryl got into his car, he felt a burst of unbearable pain spread from his shoulder. He cursed silently. The bullet was stuck in his wound for a long time. If he did not get it out in time, he might lose too much blood. 1
Instead of starting the car engine, he untied the cloth wrapped around his shoulder and used his internal energy to force the bullet out.
When the bullet popped out of his wound, Darryl quivered in pain. His forehead was covered with sweat! 'F*ck! Fortunately, I became a cultivator. Otherwise, I might be incapacitated if the bullet is left i n my wound for too long.'
Megan was extremely worried. She wanted to offer
help, but she dared not because of the dark surrounding. She feared that she would hurt Darryl by accident if she was unable to see the wound clearly. Therefore, she had to let Darryl handle it himself.
After the bullet was out, Darryl started driving away from the mountain.
He looked through the rearview mirror and saw the little girl was holding his car key. She was trying to tie her delicate little rag doll to the key. 3
Darryl was curious, so he asked her with a smile," Little sister, what are you doing?" 1
The little girl answered in a serious tone, "Thank you big brother for saving me. This is my favorite toy. I take it with me wherever I go. Now I give it to you, big brother. It can protect you and keep you safe."
Hearing those innocent words, Megan showed a gentle smile and reached out to caress the little girl's head.
The atmosphere in the car was sweet and warm, nothing like they had just experienced a dangerous situation.
Somehow, Darryl was puzzled.
He thought that a young child must be frightened after experiencing a terrifying event.
However, the little girl looked like she was recovering from the fright quite well apart from being a little panicked at the start.
'Are children these days so emotionally strong?'
After the little girl tied her doll to his car key, Darryl took the key and started the engine. 5
He turned the car around and drove down the mountain. Megan asked softly, "Little sister, where is your home? Do you know the way home? We will send you home later, OK?"
