"I'm... fine... pfft." He couldn't even finish his sentence before he exhaled and fainted.

"Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong..." After calling him several times without getting a response, Song Zhuiyan quickly laid him down and then checked his injuries.

Besides the internal injuries from being hit by the wild boar, two holes were found on his back, caused by the boar's tusks, and blood was oozing from the wounds.

Even though she tried to appear calm, tears welled up in her eyes. She turned the person over and laid them face down on the ground. With a thought, she took out a bottle of medical alcohol from her spatial storage to disinfect the wound. Her hands trembled slightly as she took out hemostatic powder and anti-inflammatory medicine from her bosom and applied them to the wound. Then she took out a bandage and bandaged it.

After treating Zhong Qingyi's wounds, the fight over there was still going on. These young men were skilled in martial arts, but lacked experience. Although they often went into the mountains to hunt, they only caught small prey. Even if they occasionally encountered a wild boar, it was always a group of them attacking one at a time. They had never encountered a group of large prey before, which surprised them.

However, they reacted quite quickly, and at least for now they had the upper hand. Several wild boars that had been shot with arrows had been killed by them, and the one that had charged over and injured Zhong Qingyi earlier had also been killed. Now there was only one wounded wild boar left, which was now extremely ferocious.

The group had been fighting wildly just now and had sustained some injuries. They were quite exhausted, and it seemed like they would have a hard time killing the last pig. They might have to get injured again before they could finish the job.

"Oh my god..." While they were still in a standoff, Song Tantan suddenly screamed from the other side, the sound so loud it seemed to reach the sky.

"Ah, kill!" The young men seemed to be provoked, and with a shout, they surrounded the wild boar with their weapons and hacked wildly, swiftly taking down the last one.

"Tantan..." Song Zhuiyan called out worriedly, ran two steps and then stopped. She turned around and looked at Zhong Qingyi, who was lying unconscious on the ground. A troubled look flashed across her face. After struggling for a moment, she saw that the young men had finished fighting and called them over loudly.

"You guys keep an eye on Brother Zhong, I'm going to check on Tantan and Axun." Before she finished speaking, she couldn't wait any longer and ran off. Tantan couldn't be hurt, otherwise she wouldn't want to live either.

The sound seemed quite close, but she followed the sound and ran for about fifteen minutes before finally spotting Song Tantan and Ye Moxun. They were both crouching down, seemingly looking at something.

As she got closer, she could even hear them talking, which made her furious. "What are you doing? What are you yelling about? Don't you know everyone is worried about you? All you do is run around aimlessly. Can't you be more careful?" In the end, she yelled, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Song Tantan turned around and saw her like this, and was startled. She got up and went to greet her, "Auntie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Her aunt is such a strong person, she rarely sheds tears. She has rarely seen her shed tears since she was old enough to understand, unless something terrible happened.

"You still dare to ask? You heartless bastard, how dare you ask me what happened?" Song Zhuiyan was so angry that she hit her back twice. When she saw her bare teeth, she paused and instead hit her buttocks.

The "slap slap" sounded quite loud.

Song Tantan was stunned. Although her body looked like she was only nine and a half years old, she was actually approaching thirty. The twenty-three years of her previous life plus the four years after her transmigration made her almost thirty.

Her aunt hadn't spanked her since she came of age. The last time was a few years ago, when she had just transmigrated. Her aunt had spanked her when she did something wrong, but that was at home, when no one was watching. Now, Ye Moxun was watching.

Oh no, besides Ye Moxun, there's also a dead person.

That's right, the reason she screamed was because someone suddenly grabbed her feet. Caught off guard, she was naturally startled. Suddenly, a pair of dark hands emerged from the bushes in the desolate mountains, looking like ghostly hands at first glance.

Song Tantan pouted. She wanted to say something to her aunt, but seeing her worried expression, she swallowed back the nonsense she was about to say and pointed to the person on the ground in a muffled voice, saying, "I just met someone. He's dead."

He was still breathing when he hugged her leg, but after she kicked him, he died with his eyes wide open when she tried to ask him a question. He didn't get a single word out.

"This person ran in from outside, and it looks like he starved to death." Song Zhuiyan confirmed that he was not from Songlin Village. The deceased had no obvious injuries and was skin and bones, obviously having been starved for a long time.

I just don't know how he ended up here. It takes more than twenty days to get here from outside. If we keep going, we'll reach Songlin Village. But this person didn't make it to the end and died.

There was no time to delve into it right now. She grabbed Ye Moxun's arm and said, "Ah Xun, your uncle is seriously injured. You should go and see him quickly."

Ye Moxun's expression changed, he shook off her hand and flew away like a gust of wind. By the time Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan caught up, he was already taking Zhong Qingyi's pulse.

"He's not in immediate danger, but we need to get back quickly and carry him home to recover." Zhong Qingyi is physically strong, and although he is unconscious, Song Zhuiyan disinfected his wounds with alcohol and applied the best medicine, so he is currently fine.

If you don't get a fever at night, you're basically fine; you just need time to heal.

He was injured on his back and could not lie down; he could only lie prone. Because of internal injuries, he could not be carried, as any bumps or jostles would worsen his condition. So, he had to be carried back.

If they were to carry it back, they would need to make a stretcher, so Lin Yu, the Mu Sheng brothers, A Zhu, and others cut down trees to make a stretcher. Song Zhuiyan called over the two younger ones, Su Chunsheng and A Si.
