Pei Tiantian widened her eyes. She quickly ran to the outside of the bamboo house with her short legs and stretched her head out to look inside.

However, the windows of the bamboo house were also closed tightly. Pei Tiantian pried around outside for a long time, with her little head pressed against the window, but she couldn't see what was happening inside.

Who is this person in here?

What on earth is Gu Rong doing?

"Who's outside?"

An old male voice with full energy sounded.

Pei Tiantian was startled and she subconsciously stepped back. Unexpectedly, she tripped after taking a few steps and her whole body fell backwards. However, her back did not touch the cold ground. Instead, a pair of big hands caught her steadily.

Pei Tiantian turned around and saw a gray-haired old man who caught her. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Little girl, who are you and why are you sneaking around outside my house?"

Gu Rong was standing aside, looking at Pei Tiantian with a frown.

It seemed surprising that she was here.

"I came here following Brother Gu Rong. Grandpa, I'm sorry to bother you! Don't be angry!"

After Pei Tiantian was helped up by the old man, she quickly bowed to the old man to express her apology.

She spoke so confidently about following Gu Rong, but it made people inexplicably feel angry.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the old man couldn't help laughing, "You are quite polite, girl. Okay, I don't get angry that easily. Come in with me."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Pei Tiantian smiled at Gu Rong who was standing beside her, and stretched out her little hand to signal Gu Rong to hold her hand.

"Brother Gu Rong!"

Her legs are so sore and weak, she is so tired, please help her up!

After hearing this, Gu Rong, who originally didn't want to care about Pei Tiantian, stopped unconsciously, reached out and held Pei Tiantian's little hand and walked into the house.

The old man saw Gu Rong holding Pei Tiantian's hand, and Pei Tiantian's little body almost leaning on him, looking very dependent.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. "It seems that you two little guys have a good relationship. Gu Rong, you lied to me before that you have no relatives or friends. Then tell me, where did this girl come from?"

Gu Rong frowned, not knowing how to explain.

He also didn't know what his relationship with Pei Tiantian was.

It doesn’t seem like they are friends, let alone relatives.

So Gu Rong just remained silent and did not respond.

Pei Tiantian would not miss this opportunity: "Grandpa, Brother Gu Rong and I have only recently become good friends, so he did not lie to you, he just did not tell you in time, don't blame him!"

Pei Tiantian said coquettishly in a cute little baby voice.

The old man looked at the little baby and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Pei Tiantian's chubby little face, which was so tender that water could be squeezed out of it.

Pei Tiantian opened her pair of pure grape eyes and looked at the old man innocently.

"When did I say I blame him?"

"That old man..."

"Girl, stop calling me grandpa all the time. Am I that old? My last name is Zeng, and my given name is Hong. You can just call me Grandpa Zeng."

Zeng Hong said with puffs of his beard and glaring eyes.

"Okay, Great Grandpa."

Pei Tiantian was speechless, but spoke obediently on the surface.

This old man is so strange. Is there any difference between an old grandfather and a grandfather?

Gu Rong couldn't help but glance at Pei Tiantian.

Zeng Hong nodded, sat on his bamboo chair, and said to Gu Rong, "Lift up your trouser legs."

Gu Rong let go of Pei Tiantian’s little hand, lowered his head and rolled up the corner of his left trouser leg.

Pei Tiantian saw that Gu Rong’s calf was wrapped in white gauze.

It turned out that this was the injury on his leg.

"Take off the gauze."

Zeng Hong continued.

Gu Rong removed the gauze layer by layer, revealing a black scab on his calf.

"Your wound has healed so quickly. The healing time is much faster than I expected."

Zeng Hong looked at his calf and asked, "Did you take any other medicine?"

Gu Rong shook his head.

"Really?"

Gu Rong shook his head again.

Pei Tiantian felt a little proud when she saw that Mr. Zeng Hong looked puzzled.

They will never know in their lifetime that Gu Rong's wounds healed quickly because of the spiritual spring water in her space.

I've been drinking it for several days, how can it not be good?

Gu Rong's pupils shrank slightly.

Spiritual spring water.

This is another new term.

It seems that this spiritual spring water is also a treasure in Pei Tiantian’s space.

It turned out that it was because of her that the injury on his leg healed so quickly.

Gu Rong's long eyelashes drooped, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

He never thought that after his adoptive parents died, the person who treated him best would be a five-year-old child.

Even if Pei Tiantian may have some unknown purpose, it is an indisputable fact that she is good to me.

There was a part of Gu Rong's heart that was wavering. He pursed his lips and forced himself to suppress this strange emotion.

Zeng Hong stroked his beard. "This is really strange. Your calf was bitten so deeply by the wolf. It should take at least half a month for the scar to form. But it's only been a week and your wound is almost healed. Could it be that I miscalculated? But with my medical skills, this is impossible!"

Pei Tiantian couldn't help but be stunned.

Was the wound on Gu Rong's leg caused by a wolf bite?

It turns out that Gu Rong really encountered a wolf in the mountains, so how did he escape?

"Grandpa Zeng, was Brother Gu Rong's leg bitten by a wolf?"

Pei Tiantian asked.

"Yes, if I hadn't happened to be on the mountain collecting herbs and helped Gu Rong drive away those wolves, your brother Gu Rong would have been eaten by those wolves long ago."

Zeng Hong said with a hint of pride in his tone, "This kid is lucky to meet me."

"Thank you, Grandpa Zeng!"

Pei Tiantian's mouth twitched.

This old man is so awesome that he can drive away the wolves in the mountain by himself. It seems that he is definitely not an ordinary person.

"You don't have to thank me. Gu Rong has already thanked me. After I saved him, he agreed to serve me for three years to repay me for saving his life."

Zeng Hong waved his hand.

Pei Tiantian: "..."

The villain is worthy of being a villain, so awesome.

Even repaying a favor is so real.

No wonder Gu Rong disappeared inexplicably frequently these past two days. It turned out that he was here to run errands for Zeng Hong.

Zeng Hong took a small bottle from the medicine box and threw it to Gu Rong, "After applying it, go upstairs and work."

After saying that, he walked up to the second floor of the bamboo building.

Gu Rong didn't care about his tone. He opened the small bottle and poured the black powder inside on his wound. Then he skillfully took out clean gauze from the medicine box and wrapped it around his calf in circles.

After bandaging the wound, Gu Rong rolled down his trouser legs and prepared to go upstairs, but was suddenly grabbed by two small hands by the corner of his clothes.

"Brother Gu Rong, I want to go up with you too!"
