The old hunter was walking in such a hurry just now that he felt dizzy when he suddenly saw the scene in front of him.
He quickly reached out to hold onto a nearby tree trunk to steady himself, muttering, "It's over. Something terrible has happened. This time, it's really a disaster."
"Uncle, what should we do now? Can you tell me where they've gone? Should we hurry up and help them?"
"Yes, we have to catch up quickly." The old hunter said this, but his legs could not move.
I had been rushing on the road and didn't feel anything, but when I suddenly stopped, my legs felt like they were filled with lead.
"I'll help you over." Seeing this, the soldier who spoke helped the old hunter over to check the mark left by Boss Ye on the tree trunk.
After the old hunter finished looking at them, he pointed in a direction and said with a heavy breath, "You guys chase them first. I'll rest for a while and then come find you."
"That won't do. It's still dark and the forest is too dangerous. There's no way we can leave you here alone."
After the young soldier finished speaking, he took off the luggage he was carrying and handed it to others. Then he bent down and carried the old hunter on his back.
The old hunter felt his body suddenly lifted into the air. He was startled and shouted, "Boy, put me down quickly! I'm very heavy, you can't carry me!"
The young soldier's hands tightly clasped the old hunter's legs, and he said with a smile, "What's so heavy? You don't know, when we go out for training, we usually have to carry dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of stuff on our backs while running. It's not a big deal at all."
"That's right, we still need you to help us find the way, otherwise what if we get lost?"
"Don't worry, there are so many of us. At worst, we can take turns carrying you. We will definitely catch up with Master Mu and Brother Ye soon!"
Boss Ye and the others were injured, and since it was still dark, they didn't go too far.
According to information provided by a hunter, they found a cave not far away.
After going in to explore and do a simple cleanup, everyone hid inside.
Mu Zheng left two people to stand guard at the entrance, and then went in to ask Luo Jinsheng what had happened before.
Luo Jinsheng sat on a rock, clasping his hands tightly together and rubbing them repeatedly. After a while, he sighed and said, "In fact, I still don't know how it happened.
"I left someone on guard, but I suddenly heard a scream in the middle of the night. When I opened my eyes, I saw a tiger holding Cui Wenbin's neck..."
As he spoke of this, Luo Jinsheng's Adam's apple slid up and down, and his clasped hands trembled slightly.
"Everything that happened afterwards happened so quickly. After the tiger mauled Cui Wenbin to death, it rushed forward and attacked others..."
Luo Jinsheng held his head in pain and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I, I don't know anymore. I don't know how all this happened..."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Mu Zheng said, "Then you should take a rest first."
When Boss Ye saw that he had finished asking questions, he gave him a look and gestured for him to go outside to talk.
The two men walked out of the cave, and Ye Lao said, "I just took a quick look at where they slept. There were some animal bones around them that were left over from the night before but not buried. Perhaps it was the smell of these that attracted the tiger."
Mu Zheng shook his head and said, "This Luo Jinsheng has a high spirit, but he doesn't have much ability.
"The person Lord Guo chose this time is really hard to describe."
"So what should we do next?" asked Boss Ye.
"Once the rest of the people have caught up, we'll head back when it's daybreak."
"Okay!" Boss Ye responded and looked up at the sky towards the east. It would take at least two hours before dawn.
He felt inexplicably uneasy tonight and hoped that no more accidents would happen.
While Boss Ye and Mu Zheng were standing in the cold wind waiting for dawn, Sister Ye was still taking care of the sick Qingtian.
In the first half of the night, not long after Qin Hexuan left, Princess Rui sent someone to bring Imperial Physician Ying over.
Imperial Physician Ying gave Qingtian a full body massage, which took a full hour.
After finishing, Imperial Physician Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't cover the child too tightly from now on. If he sweats, wipe his body and change his clothes frequently. If the fever persists tomorrow morning, come back to see me."
In the second half of the night, Ye Laosi wanted to take over for Ye Dasao and let her have some rest.
But Mrs. Ye felt that Qingtian's fever had not subsided yet, and she refused to rest no matter what.
"Let me watch her. If she starts to sweat, I'll have to wipe her body and change her clothes, which won't be convenient for you."
Mrs. Ye was indeed very tired, not only physically, but also worried to death.
Although she has never given birth to a child, she knows that not only during childbirth, but also adults and children have to go through the gates of hell.
Even if this hurdle is overcome, it will still be difficult for the child to grow up well and not die prematurely.
Let’s not talk about things far away, let’s just talk about our own home.
Ye Ersao lost a child due to complications during childbirth. Ye Sansao also had a son before Nian Nian, but he died before he was two years old.
So she is scared to death now, and Boss Ye is not around, so she doesn't even have anyone to talk to or to support her.
She was so scared that she could only relieve her anxiety by constantly wiping Qingtian's body and staying by his side.
Ye Laosi couldn't persuade Ye Dasao, so he could only stay by her side, thinking that if needed, he could help boil water and do something within his ability.
