The afternoon breeze was gentle, neither too hot nor too cold on my face.

In the height of summer, she moved a small stool to the kitchen doorway, knitting a sweater while watching Wolf King busy inside.

Even when a beautiful animal is cooking, it looks like a painting.

Suddenly, a large lion appeared before Sheng Xia, casting a huge shadow.

She instinctively took a step back.

"Shengxia, look at him! Muyi has been bitten by a snake!" Qingmu suddenly transformed and threw Muyi to the ground.

He didn't even go to see the witch doctor. Mu Yi's condition was very bad, and if he delayed any longer, he might not make it.

Sheng Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked over and squatted down.

His calves were purplish-black and swollen, bleeding profusely. He looked half-asleep and not quite conscious.

Her face darkened, and she immediately bit off a piece of bright red yarn with her teeth, tying it about 10 cm above Mu Yi's wound, close to his heart.

Used to block the backflow of venous and lymphatic blood, reduce venom absorption, and prevent the spread of venom. (Loosen for 2 minutes every 15 minutes; do not wear it continuously or too tightly.)

"Wolf King, fetch a basin of water, I need to wash my hands. Also, bring a bucket of clean water, add half a bowl of salt, stir well, and place it next to his legs."

Shengxia washed her hands and touched his wound. It was a bit hard, indicating that the venom was quite potent.

With a calm expression, she took out a delicate little stone bottle from her spatial storage, opened it, and poured some into the small ceramic bowl.

Then he added some insect-repelling water, stirred it well, and handed it to Aoki.

"Aoki, help him up until his chest is higher than his legs, and give him the medicine powder made from the eight-petal lotus."

Without saying much, the two beasts quickly completed the task that Shengxia had assigned them.

With a wave of her hand, the bucket of salt water in Wolf King's hand disappeared from the spot. She used the water to treat the parasites and began to wash Mu Yi's wound.

In the height of summer, she gently pressed around the wound while rinsing it with diluted salt water for about 15 minutes.

She sprinkled hemostatic powder on the wound, and the bleeding stopped instantly. After untying the yarn, Shengxia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, it's fine now. Put him on the bed in the guest room." Sheng Xia was exhausted. She had been comfortable for too long, and she was really not used to being busy all of a sudden.

As soon as he finished speaking, Aoki carried him away.

Summer, with Er Kang's hand still in her hand, stood there, wanting to say something gentle to the patient.

Wolf King gently picked up Shengxia and carried her horizontally, nuzzling her nose tenderly: "Baby, you've worked hard. Close your eyes and sleep for a while."

Suddenly, she found herself in a warm embrace, and in the height of summer, she leaned against him, feeling incredibly comfortable.

She was indeed exhausted; she fell asleep instantly when she was put on the bed.

One hour later

In the hazy summer, she vaguely heard sobbing. She got up and yawned widely.

Seeing Aoki at the door, she tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Aoki, is someone crying?"

"Did I wake you up? Orange is here, she's in the guest room." Aoki gave a hearty laugh.

He strode over, his golden hair fluttering in the wind, his muscles flowing smoothly, giving off a wild yet sunny vibe.

Shengxia momentarily lost in a daze, but quickly composed herself: "I'll go take a look."

"Summer, you're here. Did I wake you up?" Chengguo said, her eyes brimming with tears and her voice trembling with sobs.

Shengxia had never seen her look helpless; she was always confident, cheerful, and enthusiastic.

She frowned and stepped forward, gently patting Chengguo's arm and softly reassuring her, "Don't be afraid, it's alright, the snake venom has been neutralized."

"Waaah, I just... I just feel so bad seeing him like this." Cheng Guo frowned slightly, looking at Mu Yi with a pained expression.

Suddenly remembering something, Shengxia turned to Aoki and asked, "Didn't you bring insect repellent? How did you end up with a snake?"

Logically speaking, her incredibly effective insect repellent shouldn't have encountered insects or snakes.

“We thought we’d be back soon, so we didn’t want to use the deworming medicine,” Aoki’s deep voice rang out as he lowered his head.

A pair of clear eyes were dull and lifeless.

It's all his fault for not listening to Sheng Xia. She must be angry. It's all his fault.

Aoki stood dejectedly at the door, looking so pitiful that Shengxia couldn't bring herself to scold him.

She smiled helplessly: "I'm not blaming you. Just be careful next time. Would you be stupid not to use medicine when you have it?"

Looks like we need to make more deworming medicine.

The space is filled with herbs that grow quickly and well, and because of the spiritual spring water, their medicinal effects are many times better than those outside.

She chuckled to herself, wondering what had given Aoki's family the illusion that they were short of medicine.

"Guoguo, take some deworming medicine with you when you go back later. Don't be stingy, okay? Your health is the most important thing," Shengxia said softly to Chengguo with a smile in her eyes.

"Mmm! Summer, you're so kind! Do you want to stack animal hides or yarn? I'll have my bear cub come over and exchange them." Orange Fruit nodded emphatically.

————

After seven or eight cold fronts, the weather across the entire orc continent turned completely cold.

The snow season is coming soon.

The biting wind outside made the beast shiver.

At this very moment, in the middle of summer at home.

"Alright, let's try it out." Wolf King picked up the freshly made animal skin coat and said gently to Sheng Xia.

The large coat was made from the huge tiger fur that the tribe rewarded them with during the height of summer; its fur was glossy, soft, and warm.

Her eyes lit up, and she smiled, "So beautiful!"

Wolf King smiled as he helped her put on her clothes, carefully buttoning them up with his head down.

In the sweltering summer heat, his heart raced. At that moment, he lowered his eyes as he buttoned his shirt, exuding an irresistible gentleness.

She couldn't resist standing on tiptoe and kissing him on the chin, then looked down at the buttons on his clothes.

It is made of rosewood, with yellow and black wood grain, paired with brown tiger skin, which looks understated yet luxurious.

In the height of summer, her heart was filled with joy. Any one of these things was something she could never have encountered in the modern world.

Rare rosewood, a rare and highly sought-after tiger skin, and an exceptional man...

She's really something; she can actually have both!

"It looks beautiful! Shall I make you another coat and two quilts from the remaining tiger skin?" Wolf King smiled and looked down at her.

He had a handsome face and a faint smile on his lips as he asked Sheng Xia for her opinion in a good-natured manner.

Shengxia smiled and shook her head: "Make another coat to change into, and keep the rest as spares. We don't need to make special quilts; cotton quilts will do!"

Then, with a mischievous smile, he added, "We have a heated floor bed. We'll heat it up when it snows in a while; it'll be very warm!"

I'm kind of looking forward to snow, so I can heat up the kang (heated brick bed), and eat hot pot at home wearing animal skin pajamas.

That tastes amazing!

“Alright.” Wolf King naturally did not disagree.

A cold wind howled outside the window, emitting sharp, piercing cries that sent chills down the spine in the sweltering summer heat.

The wolf king pulled her into his arms and gently stroked her hair.

"Why are you two hunting so frantically lately? There's so much food in the space, we can't even finish it all in one snow season." Sheng Xia felt a little sorry for the two beasts who were still hunting in this weather.

"The snow season may last a long time this year, so it won't hurt to stock up." He gazed intently into the distance.
