"Let's go take a look."

The little dumpling pursed her lips, crouched down, and slowly approached the ball.

Looking through the gaps in the bushes, the little dumpling saw a heavily pregnant woman lying on the ground.

She was dressed in tattered linen clothes, her hands resting on her high, swollen belly, her face pale as she sobbed:

"Is anyone there...? Help me..."

The little dumpling's gaze shifted downwards, and it saw that the woman's left leg was caught in a trap, with sharp teeth piercing into her leg, and blood flowing continuously.

The bloody, mangled leg was a horrifying sight, and the little dumpling quickly pushed aside the bushes and ran over.

The woman's forehead was covered in sweat, and her lips were pale from the pain.

When she saw a child approaching, a glimmer of light flashed in the woman's dull eyes.

She reached out her trembling hand to the little dumpling for help: "Help me..."

Qiuqiu reacted quickly, "Little master, stay here and don't move. I'll go call your dad and brother."

After saying that, Qiuqiu ran out of the woods as fast as it could.

Having lived in the countryside, the little dumpling knew that this animal trap must have been set by hunters in the mountains.

Next to the animal trap was a basket with wild vegetables scattered around inside.

This woman must have accidentally stepped into a trap while picking wild vegetables.

The little boy couldn't bear to see the woman in so much pain.

She knelt beside the animal trap, her small hands gripping it tightly, and said to the woman:

"Sister, when I count to three, you should move your leg to the side."

The woman sensed that she wanted to save her and asked with some skepticism, "You...can you do it?"

The woman's leg was still bleeding, but the little boy didn't say anything more.

He shouted loudly, "One! Two... Three!"

She used all her strength to pry the animal trap open.

The woman felt a sudden lightness on her leg and, in shock, immediately pulled it out.

"bump!"

The little dumpling let go, and the animal trap closed again with a loud bang.

The little dumpling was panting heavily, and there were still deep marks on its palms.

"Sister, don't move," the little dumpling said to the woman, looking down at the injury on her leg.

The woman had just witnessed the child pry open the animal trap with his bare hands and was still in awe of his incredible strength.

Hearing her say that, he lay there even more still, not daring to move an inch.

The little dumpling took out a bottle of Yunnan white powder from the Hundred Doctors Space and placed it on the ground.

She reached out and pulled down the woman's pants, removing the fabric from the injured area.

The serrated holes around the woman's calf were still oozing blood.

Seeing how badly the woman was injured, the little boy's eyes reddened with heartache, and he asked the woman:

"Sister, why are you working up the mountain while you're pregnant? Where are your family members?"

The woman's pupils dilated, and her dejected mood immediately surfaced on her face.

She swallowed hard and asked, "Did I break a bone in my leg?"

If not, she had to hurry and carry the vegetables back, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get back before dark, and her mother-in-law would definitely...

I recall that ferocious and menacing face.

The woman felt a surge of fear and quickly braced herself on the ground to get up.

The little boy quickly held her down.

"Sister, your injury hasn't been treated yet, you can't move now."

"It's alright, I'm fine. I need to go home right away." The woman bit her lip and forced out the words despite the pain.

The little dumpling firmly held her down.

"no!"

"After I've treated your leg injury, I'll have your brother carry you back."

After saying that, the little dumpling gently stroked her belly and said:

"Now that you have a baby, you absolutely cannot get hurt or tired again."

For some reason, the woman suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

Tears welled up in my eyes, a mixture of emotion and grievance.

These caring words were the first she had heard since becoming pregnant.

I never expected that these words would come from the mouth of a little girl I'd never met before.

But her husband and mother-in-law never told her this...

Seeing that the woman showed no further intention of moving, the little boy took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the bloodstains from her legs.

The woman was extremely thin, with a sallow complexion and prominently bony calves, clearly indicating long-term malnutrition.

The little boy didn't know why the older sister was so thin, so he could only say with concern, "Sister, you need to eat more now, otherwise you and the baby will not get enough nutrition."

The woman choked up and said, "Thank you. I hope my child will be as lovely and beautiful as you in the future."

The little dumpling smiled sweetly at the woman, its eyes sparkling like stars.

Yes, all babies will grow up healthy, cute and beautiful.

The woman felt a warmth in her heart again, and smiled at the little dumpling through her tears.

"Little dumpling, are you alright?"

Upon hearing his father's voice, the little dumpling jumped up and waved his little hands, saying:

“Father, I’m fine, but there’s an injured older sister here.”

Behind the fluffy white ball were Mu Tingzheng and Mu Jinnian rushing over, and Su Ruiling also ran over in a panic.

Mu Ting spun the little girl around to make sure she was alright before turning his gaze to the woman on the ground.

I noticed that her calf was covered in sores, and then I saw the animal trap next to her.

Mu Tingzheng immediately understood why she was injured.

Mu Tingzheng asked, "Who are you? Where do you live?"

Mu Jinnian opened the water bottle at his waist and used it to clean the wounds on the woman's legs.

“My name is Zhen Ruoan, and my home is at the foot of the mountain,” the woman replied through her tears.

Zhen Ruoan? Mu Tingzheng was stunned.

How did she end up like this?

Zhen Ruoan seemed to recognize Mu Tingzheng as well, and quickly looked away.

Zhen Ruoan never expected to run into Uncle Mu. Thinking of her current disheveled state, she blushed with shame.

When Su Ruiling saw the injury on Zhen Ruoan's leg, she quickly asked Granny Chang to help Mu Jinnian treat it.

Seeing Zhen Ruoan's belly, Su Ruiling said somewhat angrily:

"You're pregnant, why did you come up the mountain? Do you know how dangerous it is!"

"After we've treated your wound, we'll take you home."

Zhen Ruoan lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you... thank you, madam."

After Mu Jinnian and Granny Chang cleaned Zhen Ruoan's wounds, the little dumpling picked up the Yunnan white powder from the ground and slowly sprinkled it on the wounds.

After Xiaotuanzi was treated, Granny Chang wrapped her wound with bandages.

"Sister, although your leg bone wasn't broken, it's still quite badly bruised."

"You absolutely cannot walk on the ground for the next few days."

After saying that, the little dumpling put the medicine bottle in Zhen Ruoan's hand and instructed her:

"Apply this white powder three times a day."

After treating Zhen Ruoan's wounds, Mu Jinnian picked her up and carried her horizontally, while Granny Chang carried her wild vegetables and basket.

The task of setting up camp has already been handed over to Mu Jinyi.

So the group headed down the mountain.

Mu Jinnian held Zhen Ruoan, his brows furrowing slightly.

She was too thin; even while pregnant, she was much lighter than a normal woman.

How exactly did her family take care of her?

How can a pregnant woman become this thin?
