Just a few minutes later, Duofu knocked on the door: "Auntie, Wei Zhiqing has been bitten by a wolf and is seriously injured and unconscious. You need to go and see her quickly."

Yu Rujia had no choice but to get out of her warm bed. She quickly threw off the covers, grabbed her clothes, and put them on: "I'll get up and get dressed now. Can you help me get the medicine box out first?"

When Yu Rujia and her niece arrived at the scene, Li Dashan was talking to Gao Shujing, and some militiamen were cleaning up the wolf carcasses.

Upon seeing her, Li Dashan said urgently, "Yu Zhiqing, Wei Zhiqing is injured! Go quickly and save Wei Zhiqing!"

“There were a few team members. I asked them to take Wei Zhiqing home, but he collapsed on the ground just a few steps into his house. It must be because of those random drugs you gave him.”

Everyone in the team knew that Wei Hanjie's house had been sprayed with pesticide, but they were in such a hurry to send him back that they forgot about it.

It wasn't until Li Dashan saw the team members carrying Wei Hanjie lying on the ground that he remembered this matter.

Yu Rujia was a little embarrassed. She had sold the medicine to Wei Hanjie for his self-defense, never expecting it to turn out this way: "I'll go take a look now."

Upon entering his courtyard, one could see several people lying on the ground, with Wei Han lying among them, covered in blood.

Yu Rujia first examined Wei Hanjie. The most serious injuries were to his shoulder and waist. One was bitten to the bone, and the other had several deep bloody scratches from sharp claws. Blood was gushing out from both places.

Yu Rujia quickly took out a health-strengthening pill and fed it to him. She also took out the antidote for the muscle-softening powder and asked Duofu to feed it to several team members. She also asked Duofu to scatter the antidote for the muscle-softening powder in his yard.

Wei Han fainted. If the team members all collapsed here, who would carry him into the house?

After all the commotion, Wei Han was finally taken to his room.

Yu Rujia: "Duofu, take off his clothes; Comrade Li, please light a few fires here so that Wei Zhiqing doesn't get cold."

While giving instructions to Duofu and the militia members guarding Wei Hanjie, she opened her medicine box, took out some wound medicine, and then went to his bathroom to fetch water.

The three of them worked together to treat Wei Hanjie's injuries.

Li Dashan, who had been waiting outside, stepped forward anxiously and asked, "How is Wei Zhiqing?"

Yu Rujia: "I've survived, but I'll need at least a month of rest before I can go back to work."

Upon hearing this, Captain Huang, who had rushed over after being notified by his team members, said, "It's good that your life is saved; there are plenty of people to do the work."

Li Dashan said with lingering fear, "Yes, there were more than a dozen wolves. If it weren't for Wei Zhiqing stopping them here, they would have rushed into the village, and the villagers would have suffered heavy losses."

A dozen or so wolves entered the village, and it was easy to kill just a few people. Wei Hanjie held them off for a while, giving Xia Jingxing a chance to wipe them out before they scattered.

With only Wei Hanjie injured, the losses have been minimized.

Captain Huang: "Wei Zhiqing has made a great contribution. As a reward, you should take some prey from the surrounding area tomorrow to help him recover."

"In addition, there isn't much food on the mountain in winter, so you need to arrange for more people to patrol at night so that they can lend a hand if a situation like today occurs."

“If Shujing hadn’t arrived in time today, Wei Zhiqing would have bled to death. The village is so big, and it was late at night. Shujing can’t come every time. Please take extra care.”

"In about half a month, the grass on the mountain will grow, and some animals will come out to forage. These prey will no longer come down the mountain on their own."

Outside of special periods, there are only two militia members patrolling at night.

The two men were not as experienced as Li Dashan. They only figured out the location after hearing several wolf howls. One ran over to check the situation, while the other went to call Li Dashan.

By the time they arrived at the location, all the wolves had been killed, and Gao Shujing had already gotten up and arrived at the scene before them.

Both Wei and Han were seriously injured, and every minute they bled increased their danger.

Li Dashan said heavily, "We should arrange more people. This was my mistake. We will provide all the meat that Wei Zhiqing needs to eat to nourish his body. I will arrange for someone to come and take care of his food and drink until he can take care of himself."

Although wolf meat is nutritious, it tastes terrible, bitter and astringent. It's fine to eat it normally, but it's not suitable for nourishing a seriously injured person.

In the countryside, chicken and pork are still the best meats for nourishing the body.

Captain Huang: "We agreed to arrange for two people to patrol, so don't take responsibility here. Just put in more effort later."

After finishing speaking about Li Dashan, Captain Huang turned to Yu Rujia and said, "Could you please keep watch over Wei Zhiqing tonight to prevent his injuries from worsening?"

Yu Rujia: "No problem."

After seeing the people off, Gao Shujing and Yu Rujia went into the house together.

Yu Rujia: "I heard that he killed more than a dozen wolves. This educated youth Wei is quite skilled."

More than a dozen wolves—most people would have a hard time dealing with just one—yet Wei Han managed to kill them all. Even in a fight that was almost mutually assured destruction, few people could do that.

Gao Shujing: "He didn't kill them alone; someone helped him."

Yu Rujia: "Who?"

Gao Shujing didn't speak, but nodded his chin toward the cowshed.

Yu Rujia instantly understood. That made sense. Even if the Shangfen Brigade came over, they didn't need to rush to leave after killing the wolf. This was a great achievement, and few people would want to miss out on such a merit.

If Wei Hanjie wasn't one of their own, then they were the most likely candidates.

Yu Rujia: "You have to go to town tomorrow, go back and rest, you don't need to stay here with me."

Gao Shujing: "Isn't Duoshou's medical skill quite good? Why don't we have him come over and keep watch?"

Yu Rujia: "Duo Shou's medical skills are unknown to anyone except our family. If people find out that we sent eight-year-old Duo Shou to guard us, wouldn't we be criticized?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Wei Zhiqing should wake up tomorrow morning. There's nothing else to do now, I can find a place to take a nap. You can go back now."

Wei Hanjie was willing to sacrifice himself to protect the team. If Yu Rujia had been lazy at this time and had chosen to send Duoshou, whom everyone considered a brat, to guard the great hero Wei Hanjie, she would have been cursed to death.

Even if Yu Rujia were heartless, she wouldn't do something like this.

Yu Rujia trusted her own medical skills. As soon as Gao Shujing left, she actually brought over a few stools, lined them up, and lay down on them to doze off.

Sleeping like this isn't as comfortable as sleeping in bed, but it's still more comfortable than lying face down; however, I only doze off and don't dare to actually fall into a deep sleep.

In the morning, upon hearing the news, Duolu brought Duoxiduoji over.

Duoxi leaned over Wei Hanjie's bedside and looked him over, then casually asked, "Auntie, has Wei Zhiqing woken up yet?"
