After waiting idly for a while, Qinglu finally returned.
However, he had a tense expression and didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Yu Wanwan asked cautiously, "Elder, what's wrong? Who upset you?"
Qinglu shook his head and squatted down in front of Yu Wanwan.
“I just went to call the witch doctor to come and treat your injury, but he… but something came up and he couldn’t come, so he gave me this.”
He opened his palm, on which lay herbs to heal wounds.
Yu Wanwan looked at him amusedly: "Actually, the witch doctor probably thought it was a waste of time, which is why he didn't come, right? After all, I only had a minor scrape."
Her eyes were clear and bright; she had seen through everything.
Qinglu frowned slightly: "You're bleeding, don't be so careless about yourself."
Yu Wanwan puffed out her cheeks and muttered, "How could I not care?"
A large, bony hand enveloped Yu Wanwan's fair, delicate feet. Upon seeing the bright red marks, Qinglu's eyebrows furrowed into a tight knot: "What happened? Why did it turn out like this?"
Although Qinglu is considered a cold-blooded beastman, for some reason, his hands are incredibly hot.
My feet, which were initially a little cold, warmed up quickly after he touched them.
The heat even spread throughout her body, making her face feel hot as well.
Yu Wanwan coughed lightly, avoiding his gaze, and pretended to be carefully examining her wound: "I just wiped it, it's covered in dust."
"Why is it so red? You should have waited for me to come back." He knew the wound needed cleaning, but if he had come, it certainly wouldn't have been so red and swollen.
He should have come back earlier, so that he wouldn't have to do it himself every night.
Yu Wanwan sighed, "Maybe it's because my shoes are broken and I'm so sad that I hit them too hard."
"shoe?"
Qinglu crushed the herbs in his palm and applied the dark green residue to Yu Wanwan's ankle.
His expression was solemn, his eyes were focused, and he handled things with extreme care. If you didn't know better, you would think that Yu Wanwan hadn't just scraped her skin, but had actually fractured her bone.
Yu Wanwan looked at the shoes that were still placed to the side and pouted, "That's the one."
Qinglu followed her gaze and asked, "These are the shoes?"
Orcs wear animal skins and robes to cover their bodies, keep warm, and for aesthetic purposes. However, since the skin on the soles of their feet is thick and rough, and they need to transform into animal form, they do not have shoes.
This thing only appeared on Yu Wanwan's feet.
Is it because Yu Wanwan was wearing shoes that her feet are so fair and delicate?
Qinglu unconsciously rubbed his thumb against Yu Wanwan's ankle.
He had never seen such fair and delicate feet before!
However, one thing is very strange. He has never seen Yu Wanwan in her beast form all this time. Even when she goes up and down the mountain every day, she always insists on using her human form.
Qinglu's eyes flickered, a hint of doubt in them.
After applying the medicine, he gently put Yu Wanwan's feet down, then took the blanket and covered her with it, carefully instructing her, "Don't get it wet for the next few days. I'll come back tonight to change your dressing."
Yu Wanwan nodded obediently.
She suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
Qinglu is just like her father now, always worrying about this and that, and she likes to exaggerate problems to the maximum extent. Even though it was just a minor injury, she insisted on making a big deal out of it.
But what Yu Wanwan didn't know was that the current situation was just the tip of the iceberg of Qinglu making a mountain out of a molehill.
In the following days, Yu Wanwan, who had only suffered a minor injury, was treated like a critically ill patient.
Someone will test the water temperature and bring it to you. If you want to eat something, just tell them the name of the dish, and you can eat it in no time.
You don't have to walk the road yourself, because the injured part is your foot, and there are people around to comfort you from time to time, just in case you need anything.
However, this also has its downsides. There's not much entertainment on the Orc Continent to begin with, and now that Yu Wanwan can only lie in bed all day "recovering from her injuries," she feels even more bored.
When Yu Wanwan woke up again, she clearly felt that the temperature had dropped suddenly, and even her breath was accompanied by wisps of white mist.
She turned over and moved, and a blast of cold air instantly entered the blankets, making Yu Wanwan sneeze from the cold.
Only then did she belatedly realize that the cold season had officially arrived.
Before, with Bai Jing and the others around, Yu Wanwan never felt that her bed was so cold when she was alone. Now that she's suddenly away from them, she's really freezing.
Shivering, Yu Wanwan crawled out of bed and wrapped herself in a cloak.
She can no longer feel pain in her feet and can get out of bed normally. However, Qinglu was worried about her and gave her several days off. Yu Wanwan was happy that she didn't have to dance or sing and just stayed in her cave.
She put on animal skin stockings and walked to the entrance of the cave.
Outside, everything was covered in a blanket of white snow.
Because of the high altitude of Qishan Mountain, the snow scenery was exceptionally beautiful. Yu Wanwan stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, completely mesmerized.
The snowflakes, as white as goose feathers, fluttered down, turning the earth into a silvery white expanse.
Wanting to catch a snowflake, Yu Wanwan had just stretched out her hand when she heard someone sternly call her name, which startled her so much that she quickly pulled her hand back.
"Wanwan, why are you standing at the door?" Qinglu walked over, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with disapproval.
Yu Wanwan stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move. When he walked up to her, she stammered, "I just wanted to see the snow."
"What's so interesting about this? Isn't it an annual event?" Qinglu took off his outer robe and wrapped it around Yu Wanwan without saying a word, covering her up completely.
