The moment the two entered the village, they attracted the attention of the villagers. The team leader's wife immediately pulled Lin Jin aside and asked, "Lin Qingqing, are you alright? What happened? Did you encounter a wild animal? This comrade is badly injured!" Lin Jin wanted to get back to his house as soon as possible, so he gave a few perfunctory replies, "Auntie, yes, I encountered a wild animal. This comrade was injured while saving me, so I have to hurry back to bandage him up. I won't take up any more of your time."

After saying that, he quickly pulled Gong Moze towards his courtyard. Gong Moze had exhausted all his energy just from coming down the mountain, and all he wanted to do now was sleep. So as soon as they entered the courtyard, Gong Moze fainted.

Lin Jin hurriedly dragged him to the bed and first cleaned his wounds. His whole body was covered in wounds after he took off his clothes.

There are many wounds of various sizes on my thighs, lower back, and arms, but none of them are serious. The main problem is the gunshot wound on my shoulder. We need to get the bullet out as soon as possible, or my hand will be ruined.

Lin Jin first disinfected the scalpel with alcohol, then sprinkled anesthetic around the wound, and easily removed the bullet. After applying medicine to all the wounds and taking a pulse, she felt relieved and went to attend to her own business. There were people at home, so Lin Jin couldn't enter her spatial dimension, in case it was discovered and caused unnecessary trouble.

I glanced at the sky; it was still early. I decided to organize the medicinal herbs I had gathered that day. Before I even started, someone knocked on the door.

"Is Lin Zhiqing home?" Yes, he was. When he opened the door, he saw the team leader standing at the door with several men from the village. Lin Jin quickly asked, "Uncle Yang, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"

"Your aunt said you encountered a wild animal in the mountains today, and a comrade was bitten by it while trying to save you. We've come to see you and that comrade." "Uncle Yang, please come inside. The comrade who saved me is still unconscious. I'll take you to see him." Gong Moze was wrapped in bandages all over his body, which startled them. The captain quickly called everyone out and asked Lin Jin, "What kind of wild animal injured him like this? Will he be crippled?" Lin Jin quickly replied, "Uncle Yang, it looks serious, but it's just superficial wounds. He'll be fine in a few days."

The team leader breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Jin's words. "That's good then. Lin Qingqing, you shouldn't go to the mountain alone in the future. When you need to collect herbs, ask some villagers to go with you when you're not busy. Ask as many as possible. Luckily, someone saved you today. What would your parents do if something had happened to you?"

Lin Jin was deeply moved by the captain's words, but her parents... ugh! They wished she would never appear, or even better, that she would be dead.

But he didn't show it on his face. "Uncle Yang, I understand. I will definitely take better care of myself in the future. Don't worry. In the future, villagers should also be careful not to go too deep into the mountains. What we encountered today was a very large black bear."

Everyone was shocked by the word "black bear"—it was a black bear! A black bear that could kill a person with a single slap! A collective gasp of fear swept through the crowd. The captain gave a few instructions and then left with his men. Lin Jin closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief. Turning back to check on Gong Moze's injuries, she saw his forehead covered in cold sweat and his body trembling slightly. Lin Jin was alarmed and quickly checked his pulse again, discovering that an infection in his wound had caused a high fever.

Without a second thought, Lin Jin rushed into the kitchen to brew some herbal medicine to reduce the fever. After the medicine was ready, she carefully fed it to Gong Moze. After much effort, Gong Moze's fever finally subsided somewhat. Lin Jin stayed by the bedside and unknowingly fell asleep.

At dawn, Gong Moze slowly woke up and looked at Lin Jin, who was lying exhausted beside the bed. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. He moved slightly, and Lin Jin immediately woke up. "How are you feeling?" Lin Jin asked with concern. Gong Moze smiled weakly, "Much better, thank you." Lin Jin nodded, "You should rest well, your wound hasn't healed yet." At this moment, sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the two of them, and a subtle feeling quietly grew in their hearts.

Lin Jin cooked lean meat and rice porridge, made some pancakes, and stir-fried some greens. After a night of recovery, Gong Moze was able to sit up and eat without any problem. Lin Jin moved the table to the bedside. Gong Moze looked at the food on the table, swallowed, and said, "It looks pretty delicious."
