Chapter 5, Bring a Jug of Jianghu Wine (Part 4)

The instantaneous paralysis caused by the venom left him unable to even feel pain

After a long while, Liu Yan finally stood up, still holding his younger brother in his arms, mechanically taking one step after another.

His eyes were vacant, lacking focus, and he did not know where he was headed; he simply wanted to walk, to keep walking.

"Do not sleep, A Xiu! Do not sleep!" Liu Yan gritted his teeth, shaking the body of his younger brother in his arms: "Open your eyes, look at your brother!"

The life of the younger brother may come to an end at any moment. He cannot bear to let a single moment pass, holding onto his brother until the very end

Then, before me lay a prolonged darkness

There is! There is barbecue! Brother caught a rabbit, and as soon as A Xiu feels better, he will roast it for her to eat! Liu Yan nodded heavily, gently pressing on his younger brother's chest with his hand, his eyes never leaving his brother's face.

A Xiu! A Xiu! A Xiu!

Liu Xiu timidly asked in a soft voice

Liu Yan did not have time to respond; he quickly pressed his hands on his brother's head and chest, then brought his mouth close to the wound on his neck

In her arms, A Xiu's convulsions grew increasingly severe, to the point where she could no longer speak. In her eyes, the pupils had vanished, leaving only the whites of her eyes rolling incessantly. From the corners of her mouth, white foam had begun to emerge.

Hmm... Ah Xiu is a bit sleepy... Ah Xiu will take a nap... When I wake up, will there be barbecue to eat?

But now, he can only watch helplessly as his younger brother dies before his eyes

But A Xiu feels very uncomfortable ... ... wants to sleep ... ... sleep ... ... cold ... ... Brother, I am cold ... ...

Liu Yan turned his head, using the back of his hand to wipe the corner of his eye, not allowing his younger brother to see the tears that were about to fall.

Brother, have you found something to eat? I am hungry. Shall I help you gather firewood?

Clearly, before their father's passing, they had confidently boasted that they would be able to take good care of their younger brother

Um ... ...

Liu Xiu's breathing became rapid, and her pupils began to dilate. She absentmindedly rubbed her chest with her small hands, murmuring, "A Xiu wants to eat roasted meat..."

But he also knew that this was futile. If the bitten area was not on the neck, he could even cut off his brother's hands and feet without hesitation—this way, at least he could survive, even if it meant becoming a cripple.

Regarding this type of snake, Liu Yan, who grew up in the wild, is naturally very familiar with it

The words that once flowed from his mouth now cut like a sharp knife, wildly stirring within Liu Yan's heart, leaving it riddled with wounds.

Why! Why not run away! Liu Yan clenched his fists tightly and hoarsely asked his younger brother

A muffled thunder rumbled across the sky. It is unclear when the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

"Because... my brother asked me to wait here..." Only a moment had passed, and a dark aura had already appeared on Liu Xiu's face. Even though he had just drawn out the poisonous blood from his wound, the toxic gas continued to invade his body. Yet, Liu Xiu's expression still bore an innocent smile

Suck again, then spit it out

He must take action. Otherwise, he will be immediately torn apart by the immense guilt and sorrow within him

Brother, I feel a tightness in my chest

Liu Yan shouted hoarsely, holding his younger brother tightly in his arms, yet he was still unable to prevent life from gradually draining away from the small body.

What a ... ... fool

Only able to mutter such words, Liu Yan seemed as if he had fallen into an ice cave

Liu Xiu nodded slightly, his eyelids began to flutter, and his breathing rate increased.

Moreover, it was solely due to his recklessness that he left his younger brother alone by the edge of the woods

A few days ago, Liu Yan had just lost his father, and just a few days later, he was to immediately face the fate of losing his younger brother

Liu Yan secretly wiped away his tears, nodded slightly, but did not move his feet. Instead of turning back to pick up the bird's nest and the wild rabbit, he continued to hold his younger brother tightly in his arms

It is still black

Until in my arms, my brother's convulsions ceased

The fluid flowing from the wound is black blood

Liu Yan was anxiously sucking continuously. After more than a dozen attempts, the blood flowing from the wound finally turned red

The summer downpour arrived without any warning. Just moments ago, the night sky was clear and bright, but now it has suddenly begun to pour with rain as large as soybeans

Accompanied by rapid breaths, Liu Xiu's small body began to tremble, even convulsing, and despite his efforts to keep his eyes open, his eyelids still drooped heavily.

At this moment, his mind was in a whirl, with only four words echoing incessantly.

No medicine can save

I am sorry ... ... I am sorry ... ...

"Brother, you are back! Just now there was a big snake, it was so scary! But I didn't get scared, nor did I run away, I waited here for you to come back!" Liu Xiu calmed down and, seeing her brother finally appear before her, she came back to her senses from the earlier fear, forced a smile, and reached out to tug at her brother's clothing.

However, Liu Yan seemed completely oblivious, remaining dazed in place, tightly holding his brother, who was on the verge of losing his life, allowing the raindrops to drench his head and body, soaking his clothes.

Suck, spit out

If ... ... could allow my younger brother to live, ... ... I would be willing to pay any price!

Then, just as Liu Yan had taken a few steps, a bolt of lightning, thick enough to encompass several people, tore through the sky and struck down heavily

A violent current coursed through Liu Yan's body, as if it were truly tearing him apart. Before he even had time to think, Liu Yan instantly fell into a coma

The snake he had just slain was clearly visible in the moonlight; it was unmistakably a highly venomous mountain viper

The strike fell directly upon Liu Yan.

The deadly poison of the mountain wind strikes far too quickly

However, now that he is doing this, it can only slightly extend the time by a little bit
