At this moment, both Jiang Xingzhou and Zhou Yingxuan were injured, with tiger claw marks on their bodies and their clothes torn and stained with blood.
"Sister Er Ya!" Lin Shuyan suddenly shouted and ran towards her.
What an idiot!
Jiang Hua cursed under her breath. Lin Shuyan's actions caused the tiger, which was still poised to pounce, to leap towards her. She had no choice but to grip the dagger tightly and slash it past the tiger's body.
They escaped from the tiger's jaws, but Lin Shuyan wasn't so lucky; she was stunned and frozen in place by the tiger that pounced on her.
"Yan Yan!" Zhou Yingxuan shouted, quickly using his lightness skill to roll to the side with Lin Shuyan in his arms.
Because he saved Lin Shuyan, Zhou Yingxuan suffered a deep, bone-revealing wound on his back from a tiger's claws.
At the same time, Jiang Hua also received Zhou Yingxuan's resentful gaze, but she didn't think much of it, nor did she have time to think much of it, because this tiger seemed to have no intention of letting them go at all.
"Watch out!" Jiang Xingzhou shouted.
Jiang Hua saw that the tiger had changed its target to her, and she could no longer hide her strength. She didn't want to die in the tiger's mouth.
Before they knew it, they were already wrestling with the tiger, facing the tiger that was pouncing on them.
While dodging, Jiang Hua's hand holding the dagger was also busy, and she gradually regained the feeling she had when she was on a mission in her previous life.
Jiang Xingzhou had doubts about Jiang Hua's skills, but now was not the time to ask for answers. It wasn't until Jiang Hua's dagger pierced the tiger's body that she forcefully pulled it out.
The tiger let out a miserable roar, then, like a deflated balloon, dragged its wounded body and fled quickly into the depths of the forest until it disappeared from sight.
"Master, the system energy on the tiger has disappeared." The little white snake's voice echoed in Jiang Hua's mind.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, and her whole body went limp. A strong arm caught her in time.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xingzhou's eyes held a tension and worry that he himself was unaware of.
"It's nothing," Jiang Hua replied, calming herself down. She explained that her body couldn't keep up with her sudden outburst and couldn't withstand such intense fighting, which was why she was like this.
Looking at the two people on the ground, Lin Shuyan had already fainted, and Zhou Yingxuan had also fainted at some point due to excessive blood loss from the wound on his back.
"What should we do with them?" Jiang Hua looked at the two people on the ground, then looked at Jiang Xingzhou, and met his gaze, which was full of scrutiny.
"I'll go and have the village chief bring some men to take them back," Jiang Xingzhou said, glancing indifferently at the two people on the ground.
“Then I’ll stay here and watch over them, you go find the village chief,” Jiang Hua suggested.
"No need, it's dangerous here, I'm worried about you being alone here." Jiang Xingzhou took Jiang Hua's hand directly.
"Then they're not in danger?"
"I won't die," Jiang Xingzhou said nonchalantly.
Although it's immoral, they're the male and female leads, so it seems like they really won't die.
"What? A tiger appeared in the mountains?" Xu Wanli was shocked when he saw Jiang Xingzhou covered in wounds.
By the time Xu Wanli led the villagers down the mountain, night had fallen. Seeing that Zhou Yingxuan was seriously injured, he immediately sent someone to fetch the village's old doctor.
"Take off your shirt, I'll help you treat your wound." Jiang Hua took out a bowl of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and then took out a clean handkerchief.
Jiang Xingzhou obediently took off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest.
My arms and back are covered in tiger scratches. It's bad, but thankfully they're all superficial wounds and don't need stitches.
Jiang Hua used a handkerchief to soak some of the spiritual spring water in the bowl to treat his wounds and wiped away the bloodstains around the wounds. She had previously been injured on missions and had soaked in the spiritual spring water in her space, and the wounds had healed on their own.
It's late now, and there's no time to go to town to get a doctor. The village doctor is probably being used by the village chief to treat Zhou Yingxuan's wounds.
"Where's A-Yi?" Jiang Xingzhou suddenly asked, feeling Jiang Hua's hand moving over his back, her skillful technique in treating the wound.
“Before I came to find you, I took him to Aunt Liu’s house. I’ll go pick him up in a bit,” Jiang Hua replied.
Fifteen minutes later, the wound on his back was treated. Jiang Hua then flicked some spiritual spring water onto the wound with her fingertips, which should be of some use to him.
“Alright, go to town again tomorrow to see a doctor,” Jiang Hua said.
"Mm," Jiang Xingzhou responded softly.
Jiang Hua, carrying the bowl, left a message and went to Aunt Liu's house to pick up Jiang Jingyi.
When he passed by the Xu family's house, there was quite a bit of noise. Zhou Yingxuan was the only one left at home. At the moment, the Xu family members, the village chief, and the others were all at Zhou Yingxuan's house.
"Is Aunt Liu home?" Jiang Hua called out from the yard.
Upon hearing Jiang Hua's voice, Jiang Jingyi immediately ran out from the inner room.
"Huahua, how is Xiaojiang? Is he hurt?" Aunt Liu asked with concern.
"I suffered some minor injuries, but I'll be fine once the wounds heal," Jiang Hua replied.
"Stepmother, is Father injured?" Jiang Jingyi looked up, his face also full of worry.
"That's alright. Yingxuan next door had a back wound so bad you could see the bone, and your cousin was so scared she still hasn't woken up," Aunt Liu said, still a little shaken.
"Although hunting is a quick way to make money, there are wild beasts in the mountains. It's like risking your life for money."
"Huahua, I heard you're doing some small business in town now. Talk to Xiaojiang, don't risk your life for a little money," Aunt Liu said earnestly.
"Auntie, I understand. I'll talk to him about it later." Jiang Hua nodded and replied, "Then, Auntie, it's getting late. I'll take Ayi back first."
"Be careful on the road." Aunt Liu saw them off at the gate of the courtyard.
On the way back, Jiang Jingyi held Jiang Hua's hand and took big steps, as if he couldn't wait to run home.
When she got home and saw Jiang Xingzhou cooking dinner in the kitchen as if nothing had happened, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, does your wound hurt?" Jiang Jingyi quickly stepped forward and asked.
"I'm fine," Jiang Xingzhou replied.
Because of this little mishap, we had a simple meal tonight, just a pot of chicken porridge.
After dinner, Jiang Hua lit candles in the yard and washed the pig offal, while Jiang Xingzhou boiled water in the kitchen to give Jiang Jingyi a bath.
By the time Jiang Hua had cleaned the pig offal and salted it, it was already 11 p.m., and Jiang Jingyi had gone to bed.
"Who exactly are you?" Jiang Xingzhou's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.
Jiang Hua paused in sprinkling salt and looked at Jiang Xingzhou, who was standing in the kitchen looking at her with a cold expression.
