Chapter 152: After the War



The little goat had an injured leg and was huddled in a corner, bleating. It looked like it had been stepped on by a horse in a panic and was terrified.

The three big guys were frightened and huddled together. As for the three little chickens, no one knew where they ran off to. Mu Yuanqing didn't want to care about them anymore and turned back to the house.

"It's okay! Everything is okay! Your Maomao is fine!"

"Really?" Ningxia became more energetic.

Mu Yuanqing lifted her arm and was relieved to see that she had hastily treated the scratches on her arm. "It's okay. Only one of them broke in and ate Xixi's poisoned mutton, but failed."

Ningxia felt a little comforted in her heart. She looked at Monkey, who was barely breathing on the sofa, with a look of pleading in her eyes.

"The situation at your home isn't very good. Pack up your things and go back to my house." Ningxia picked up Monkey Xiaoyou, and the pain in his legs became more and more obvious.

Mu Yuanqing also nodded. "Those guys in the yard have gone to finish off the enemy. Go back to your house first and we'll discuss the aftermath later. Those guys are no longer a threat and probably won't come back."

Ningxia shook her head, "Not necessarily, but with so many dead here, we can handle the ten or so that escaped even if they come back."

The three men dragged the horse and Maomao out of the barn, and the goat was put into Maomao's side pocket.

As for the three chicks, they were crushed and trampled to death, leaving not a single one alive. Ningxia didn't mind at all and put them all into Maomao's pocket. He could process them and eat them when he got home. Besides, he had a monkey at home.

Ma and Maomao from Mu Yuanqing's family were so frightened that they almost went crazy when they were led out. Mu Yuanqing and Ningxia tried their best to comfort them, and they half-dragged and half-pulled them out of the yard with great difficulty. Only when they were far away from Mu Yuanqing's house did their emotions gradually calm down.

"Is your leg okay?"

Ningxia shook her head and grimaced, "There's nothing we can do about it. Let's go home and talk about it."

The three of them lit torches, and the cold wind in the middle of the night made their legs tremble.

"Sister Xia Xia!"

"Sister Xia! Are you okay?"

Seeing that the gunshots had stopped for a while, Lin Yi and Xiao Jie didn't care about the cold and simply wrapped themselves up thickly and squatted in the yard. As soon as they heard any movement, they rushed over.

Ningxia dodged Xiaojie's hand, which was stretched out to take the hand of Monkey Friend, who was wrapped tightly in a cloak. "I'll do it. Don't hurt it anymore. You and Lin Yi take Maomao and the horse to Maomao's shed and put them there first."

Fortunately, Ningxia was diligent before winter came. Even though Maomao was not living at home, she had simply decorated Maomao's livestock shed so that it would not be drafty on all sides. Otherwise, it would be really over now.

The three disabled people went straight into the house and didn't recover until they entered the warm room. Ningxia felt her legs hurt even more.

"Xia Xia! What's wrong with you!" Sangsang saw Ningxia's ugly face in the light, his eyes full of worry, and tears instantly filled his eyes.

Ningxia forced a smile at her and gently placed Monkey Xiaoyou on the sofa before collapsing on it.

Mu Yuanqing and Liu Ximu were not much better, "Sang Bao, where is Qingtian?"

Sangsang wiped her tears and said, "Aunt Qing, she's fallen asleep."

Mu Yuanqing finally felt relieved and closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Xiao Jie and Lin Yi quickly settled Maomao and the others and hurried in, "Little monkey? Where did it go to?" Xiao Jie understood instantly when he saw the bloodstained cloth on the monkey's chest.

Ningxia nodded imperceptibly, "It saved us."

Lin Yi's eyes were red and he was turning around anxiously, not knowing whether he should go to the unconscious monkey friend or do something to help Ningxia who had a pale face.

Ningxia waved at him, and Lin Yi hurried over. She touched his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just tired. I haven't eaten all day. Go make something for me and your aunt Mushu."

Mu Yuanqing also smiled and said, "Don't say that. Injury is nothing. I'm going to faint from hunger."

Lin Yi nodded, stood up and ran to the kitchen.

Liu Ximu opened the big bag he brought with him and said, "Xiao Jie, please boil some medicine for us." As he spoke, he handed over a bag of medicinal herbs that had been picked separately.

Xiaojie nodded and got up to do his work.

"Ningxia, I've never treated a monkey, so why am I treating a human being?"

Ningxia nodded, her eyes swept over the small figure on the sofa, reluctant to leave for a long time.

"Give it a bowl of medicine then."

Mu Yuanqing took a short rest and then stood up to re-bandage the wound on Liu Ximu's back.

After Liu Ximu had treated the wound on his back, he came to carefully check the injuries of Mu Yuanqing and Ning Xia.

Seeing the hideous wound on Ningxia's leg, Liu Ximu frowned, "Your wound is too big. I'm afraid you need to go to a medical center."

Half of Ningxia's thigh was covered in blood. Fortunately, the blood vessels were not damaged, but the wound was too large and very prone to infection.

Liu Ximu was not sure he could cure her at home, and he did not have any injections. If the infection was serious, amputation would be the least of her problems.

Ningxia nodded. "I think we should all stay at a medical center for a while. The wound on your back is quite large. And my sister's hand..."

Liu Ximu also nodded, his brows full of solemnity, "Aqing's hand is afraid that it will never be restored to its original state." After all, it was almost bitten in half.

Mu Yuanqing smiled nonchalantly, "I'm already very satisfied to be able to save my life. What's the big deal about losing a hand? I still have my right hand. I'm not left-handed, so it won't be a problem."

During the conversation, Lin Yi had already brought the food. Each person had a large bowl of steamed white rice and extremely light stir-fried pork with dried bamboo shoots, and each person also had a small bowl of egg custard.

The three of them didn't say anything. They just picked up their bowls and stuffed them into their mouths. In a short while, they had finished all the food in their hands.

After surviving the disaster, and with Liu Ximu's medicine containing a lot of tranquilizers, the three of them drank the boiling hot medicine and soon fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.

Before falling asleep, Ningxia reminded Lin Yi to keep an eye on the little monkey.

The next day at noon, Ningxia was awakened by the pain. Perhaps the effect of the medicine had worn off. She only felt a tearing pain in her thigh that made her head dizzy. Before she woke up, the ferocious wolf face appeared in front of her eyes.

"Xia Xia! Are you awake?" Sangsang was guarding her side. As soon as she noticed she opened her eyes, she quickly shouted to Lin Yi, "Brother! Xia Xia is awake!"

Lin Yi quickly ran over and said, "Sister Xia Xia, how are you feeling? I made dinner and brought it to you."

Ningxia shook her head. She wasn't hungry yet. "Where are your Aunt Qing and Uncle Mu?"

"I'm playing with Qingtian in the bedroom. Sister Xia Xia, please eat something to fill your stomach so you can take the medicine."

The worry in Lin Yi's eyes was so obvious that Ningxia had no choice but to nod.

"I stewed half a chicken with winter melon at home. You don't have a good appetite, so I only soaked a little rice. You should drink more soup."

Ningxia took it and took a sip. It could be said that she had finally cultivated her skill. The soup she made was not much worse than Mu Yuanqing's.

"Where are those three dead chickens I brought back? They're still fresh, don't waste them. Give them to Monkey Friend to drink."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "I've asked Brother Jie to prepare it for stewing. I didn't put anything in it. I just added water and stewed it. Is that okay?" Aunt Qing told him in the morning that Sister Xia Xia brought it back for little friend Monkey, so he didn't put anything in it.
