Although Lao Qian's wound was stitched up and he was given medicine, he still hasn't woken up.
"Dr. Shu, how is Old Qian?"
Shulan said, "He is seriously injured and has lost too much blood. We need to pay more attention to him these next two days. If he develops a high fever at night, we need to be extra careful."
Although everyone was not knowledgeable in medicine, they knew from these words that a high fever could be fatal to an ordinary person, let alone someone like Lao Qian in his current condition.
But they also knew that being anxious was useless, and now they could only rely on Dr. Shu.
Just then, two more wounded soldiers arrived.
Only then did everyone realize that the big brown bear had injured someone again.
While treating their wounds, Shulan asked with concern, "Did they catch the bear?"
The wounded soldier shook his head: "That beast is too big. Even General Qu couldn't do anything about it."
They had been patrolling the mountains, trying to find the bear.
They searched the entire mountain, but they couldn't find the bear.
Everyone assumed that the bear had probably heard the noise and left.
Shulan immediately asked curiously, "It didn't leave? Then where is it hiding? How did you find it?"
She had heard that bears not only have an extremely keen sense of smell, seven times stronger than bloodhounds, but they are also incredibly fast, and most importantly, they are quite intelligent.
"That beast is very clever. Fortunately, the general said that the bear definitely hasn't left and is still in the back mountain. He told us to be careful."
The two wounded soldiers became excited and looked on with admiration when the general was mentioned.
"Did the General go there in person?" Shulan indeed did not see He Fengmian.
The two soldiers quickly nodded: "Yes, the general told us to keep a close eye on it over there in the valley, and even to use animal blood to lure it out."
At this point, the two men became even more agitated: "You know where that beast is hiding, right?"
Everyone was captivated and quickly asked, "Where are you hiding?"
"The bear was hiding in that deep pool in the valley. When we passed by, it actually dived into the water, so we didn't notice it."
"The general thought it might be hiding over there, so he had some pheasants caught and used their blood to lure it away."
They were carrying pheasants when the bear ambushed them.
He said with immense relief, "If it weren't for the general pulling us apart in time, we would have only injured our arms."
A bear that big could easily kill them with a single swipe of its paw.
It was only because Commander Liu saw how badly they were injured that he allowed them to come back first to have their wounds bandaged.
After Shulan finished bandaging them, she said, "It's nothing serious. Don't get it wet. Change the dressing every day for the next few days to prevent infection."
With He Fengmian around, she felt there wouldn't be much of a problem.
She had witnessed He Fengmian's kung fu firsthand; with him around, that bear wouldn't be able to escape.
At this time, the back mountain was indeed very dangerous.
The brown bear, as huge as a giant, was pouncing towards He Fengmian.
At this moment, an arrow was stuck in its back.
It was clearly this arrow that drove it mad.
Despite his injuries, his speed remained undiminished as he angrily pounced on He Fengmian.
It opened its blood-red maw, about to bite down on his head.
"General."
Just as everyone was about to come over, He Fengmian stopped them: "Don't come over."
He Fengmian nimbly dodged the brown bear's claws.
Before he could even get his footing, the brown bear nimbly twisted its body, its thick, fleshy front paws lashing out at him again with a gust of wind.
Suddenly, he leaped up, flipped in mid-air, and landed directly on the brown bear's back.
Looking at the arrow on his back, he grabbed it, pulled hard, and plunged it directly into the bear's back.
The arrow pierced most of the shaft, but surprisingly, it didn't kill the brown bear. After all, the bear's hide was thick, and it was difficult for such an arrow to kill it.
Instead, the pain drove it completely mad.
"Roar!!" the brown bear roared angrily.
It was swinging its back wildly, as if trying to throw the person on its back off and then bite them to death.
He Fengmian seemed to be fixed to it, and no matter how wildly it shook it, it couldn't shake it off.
Seeing the enraged bear, He Fengmian even said to the people next to him, "Everyone, get out of the way, don't get hurt by this beast."
Everyone immediately moved far away, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire and lose their lives.
And the bear could see that it couldn't shake off the human no matter what it tried.
He roared angrily once more and headed towards a large tree, intending to crash into it.
It was very fast; if He Fengmian hadn't jumped down, they might have both been seriously injured.
Little did they know, He Fengmian hadn't been idle on the bear's back; he had been looking for the right opportunity.
Just as it was about to crash into the tree, he leaped in front of the bear. Before the bear could even open its mouth to bite him, he used the tree's support to find the right moment and punched the bear in the eye.
The punch was delivered with tremendous force; everyone seemed to hear the sound of a skull shattering, and felt their scalps tingle.
Immediately afterward, the enraged bear froze and collapsed to the ground.
He Fengmian stood there, his expression cold and stern.
And when everyone saw the brown bear finally fall to the ground, they couldn't help but cheer.
He Fengmian instructed: "Send more people to patrol the mountain these next few days. Keep everyone alert. If there is any unusual activity, immediately alert everyone with a gong."
Liu Moyang knew that this was because they were worried that more than one bear would come, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry."
He Fengmian nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he paused for a moment.
He turned to look at the bear on the ground and said, "Deal with the bear and give me its gallbladder."
Liu Moyang immediately said, "Alright, I guess Madam has never eaten bear paw before. Why don't we save the bear paw for her and have Chen Ma cook it for her to try?"
He Fengmian thought that this person also liked to eat, so he nodded: "Okay."
He left without noticing Liu Moyang's sly smile.
The bear was dealt with, and everyone happily carried its carcass back to the military camp.
Hearing the commotion, Shulan probably knew that the bear had been killed.
Just as she was wondering whether she should go over and check on him, she saw He Fengmian approaching. She went up to him, smelled the blood on him, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Just as she was about to say it was nothing, she noticed the scratch on the back of his hand. It had stopped bleeding, but it made her frown: "Let me take care of this for you, so it doesn't get infected."
He Fengmian looked at the tiny, insignificant wound, which he guessed was an accidental cut that he hadn't even noticed.
Seeing her worried expression with furrowed brows, he finally nodded and followed her into the house.
Wang Yaozhi had some wound medicine, so Shulan cleaned his wounds first, then looked up and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Her delicate eyelashes were captivating and alluring the moment she raised her eyes, making the person who had been staring at her feel as if they had been caught red-handed.
Her ears turned slightly red, and she said calmly, "It doesn't hurt."
It just feels a little itchy, tingly and numb, like the itch is reaching my heart.
