Song Qingyun was most reluctant to see the children disappointed, but he couldn't let the two little guys know about the secret passage to Wolf Howling Valley...

She had no choice but to coax him gently, "Let's go over here and see if there are any rabbit nests we can dig. If we can find any rabbits, I'll go back and make spicy rabbit meat for you tonight."

"Okay!" Gu Xu and Lu Huailin became interested.

Xia Changle also ran over and followed Lu Huailin, "I want to find a rabbit too."

"If there are very small rabbits, we won't eat them. We will take them home and raise them. We will eat them when they grow up." Xia Changle said seriously.

Lu Huailin smiled and said, "Okay, I know how to find the rabbit's nest. Just follow me."

As he spoke, Lu Huailin took Gu Xu, Xia Changle and the two puppies and ran forward.

"Come back to this place and gather later," Song Qingyun reminded.

All the children responded.

Xia Zhihuan followed Song Qingyun, and the mother and daughter picked herbs.

Xia Qingyu was a little older. She was picking mushrooms. She knew a lot of mushrooms, and as she walked, she walked a little further.

When Xia Qingyu came to her senses, she found that she could no longer see Song Qingyun and the others...

Fortunately, Xia Qingyu was familiar with this place, so she was not very panicked. She was about to go back to find Song Qingyun and the others. After taking two steps, she heard giggling sounds coming from not far away.

Xia Qingyu stood there nervously, not daring to move, for fear that something might suddenly emerge from the bushes and attack her.

She tiptoed cautiously to look around, and suddenly, a bloody hand stretched out from the bushes!

Xia Qingyu was so frightened that she screamed, took two steps back, and fell to the ground with a thud. Xia Qingyu wanted to stand up and run back.

But she was so frightened by that hand that her legs went limp and she couldn't move at all.

A man crawled out from the bushes...

The man was none other than Shen Zhihe, whose wound had split open.

"I'm sorry, little girl, I scared you. I'm not a bad person." Shen Zhihe said in a gentle voice.

Xia Qingyu was so nervous that her body was stiff.

"Can you help me pick the herb in front? I need it to stop the bleeding." Shen Zhihe said to Xia Qingyu, "If you don't want to, just leave."

It took Xia Qingyu a long time to regain some strength. She struggled to get up from the ground and followed the direction Chen Zhihe pointed to see a herb that could stop bleeding.

Xia Qingyu ran over to pull out the herbs, then stumbled back to Shen Zhihe, "Are you hurt?"

Shen Zhihe smiled, "My injury isn't obvious?"

He suddenly found the little girl quite interesting and was so frightened by himself that he was confused.

"Little girl, don't go to the mountains alone in the future. There are bad people in the mountains."

"I didn't come here alone. I came with my parents. I just walked a little far away. I'm going back to find them soon." Xia Qingyu said hurriedly.

"Let's go back quickly." Shen Zhihe leaned against the tree trunk with difficulty. The wound was pulled by the twitching, and he took two breaths.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want me to apply the medicine for you?" Xia Qingyu finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Although she was very scared, she intuitively knew that the person in front of her was not a bad person.

Shen Zhihe hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"The wound on my stomach has split open. Please help me crush this herb with a stone and apply the herbal juice to the wound."

"Okay." Xia Qingyu responded. She immediately found two stones, wiped the dirt off the stones with her sleeves, listened carefully, and found that they were very close to the water.

"I'll help you get to the river and treat your wound there. It's more convenient."

"Okay, thank you then." Shen Zhihe did not refuse.

He stood up with difficulty, Xia Qingyu reached out to support him, and the two of them walked to the river with some effort.

Xia Qingyu put Shen Zhihe under a tree near the river and let Shen Zhihe lean against the tree.

She took the two stones and washed them in the water, then cleaned the dirt from the roots of the herbs before returning to Shen Zhihe.

Crush the herbs and squeeze out the juice.

Shen Zhihe had already opened his clothes and gritted his teeth to remove the gauze bandage he had previously used.

Xia Qingyu looked at Shen Zhihe, "Apply it directly?"

Shen Zhihe nodded.

Xia Qingyu poured the herbal juice on the wound with trembling hands.

Shen Zhihe's knees twitched in pain, and it took him a while to gather some strength to speak, "Thank you."

The bleeding from the wound finally stopped, and Shen Zhihe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go back to your parents quickly. You've been out for too long and they will be worried about you," said Shen Zhihe.

"Okay." Xia Qingyu responded, turned around and ran. She had just run two steps when she heard Shen Zhihe's voice again.

"May I have your name?"

Xia Qingyu blinked, but in the end did not answer his question and ran away.

Shen Zhihe looked at the little girl's running back, and the corners of his lips curled up. It was quite interesting.

He looked up at the clean blue sky and slowly and laboriously stood up.

He has already hidden in the mountains and has no idea what the situation is like outside. He will have to wait a few more days before someone brings in any news.

This morning he was trying to get himself something to eat, but he fell and opened the wound.

Shen Zhihe knew about herbs and wanted to go out and find some to apply on his own, but he ended up bleeding too much and lost his strength. Fortunately, he met this little girl.

The girl was a little alert, but not very alert, but she was quite brave.

If he was a child, he would definitely turn around and run away when he saw a man crawling out with blood on his hands. Shen Zhihe smiled.

He quickly pressed the wound with gauze, stood up and left quickly. He couldn't stay here. If the little girl's parents came to check and found him, he would be in trouble.

Any normal adult would think they were a fugitive...

Shen Zhihe walked very quickly and soon left the riverside and went to a very secluded cave he had found before, where he closed his eyes to rest.

Xia Qingyu staggered all the way to the place where Song Qingyun had said they would gather.

She ran too fast and fell in the middle. When she ran back, she looked extremely embarrassed.

Xia Zhihuan was startled. She tightly grasped the corner of Song Qingyun's clothes and looked at Xia Qingyu with concern, "Fourth sister..."

"Qingyu, what happened?" Song Qingyun cried out softly and hurried forward. He found blood on Xia Qingyu's body. Song Qingyun's face changed.

"You're hurt."

"No, mother." Xia Qingyu was frightened and she grabbed Song Qingyun's hand tightly.

"Mom, I just met a man covered in blood. He asked me to pick some herbs for him, so I did. I also helped him to the river and applied the medicine on him."

"He asked me what my name was, but I didn't tell him and ran back."

Xia Qingyu's voice trembled a little, but she still explained the situation clearly in a halting manner.

When Song Qingyun saw the injured person hiding in the mountains, he suddenly thought of... the fugitive!
