"Liu'er, are you alright?" Qiu Dafu asked gently. He sat up and helped Jiang Liu up.
"I'm fine." Jiang Liu got up and checked Qiu Dafu's leg injury.
"Your legs..."
"It's alright." Qiu Dafu had already injured his left leg in a fall, and now he had been bitten hard by a wolf. He had also been forced to walk while rescuing Jiang Liu, so every step he took was extremely painful.
However, he could bear the pain.
"Liu'er, let's go home."
Jiang Liu nodded, then looked around; there was nowhere to take shelter from the rain.
Instead of waiting for someone to rescue you, save yourself.
Seeing the pain on Qiu Dafu's face, Jiang Liu walked up to him and said, "I'll carry you on my back."
At this moment, Jiang Liu had completely lost her spoiled young lady demeanor.
Qiu Dafu shook his head: "You can't carry it."
Jiang Liu insisted, "I can do it."
Qiu Dafu refused, so Jiang Liu stood in front of him, trying to carry him on her back.
Although Jiang Liu usually appears gentle and weak, she has her own personality and a stubborn streak.
However, this time, she couldn't go against Qiu Dafu's wishes.
"Liu'er, I can walk."
"Your leg is bleeding a lot."
"It's okay, I'm not in pain." Qiu Dafu took Jiang Liu's wrist, looked at her, and forced a faint smile. "I'm really fine."
He pulled Jiang Liu along and walked forward.
He stumbled and stopped repeatedly, struggling to keep himself from collapsing.
Jiang Liu glanced at Qiu Dafu's bleeding leg, and her previously calmed heart became flustered again.
She was worried that Qiu Dafu's wound would become infected and worsen his condition.
"We will definitely get home safely." She seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be saying to Qiu Dafu.
Qiu Dafu's injury today was truly not worth it.
Jiang Liu was annoyed. If she had known this would happen, she would have persuaded Qiu Dafu to rest inside no matter what, and such a dangerous thing wouldn't have happened today.
Qiu Yan and Gu Qian traveled to the mountains and forests, then ran wildly to the bottom of the cliff.
Halfway down the road, ahead, Ye and Wang each held an oil-paper umbrella, their faces filled with grief.
They stopped in their tracks, hesitant to proceed, because the signpost ahead read, "Heartbreak Valley".
The reason is that Broken Heart Valley is teeming with wild beasts, and few who go into the valley ever return alive.
Of course, there are also many prey.
Further on, many hunters went hunting to make a living, but they all perished.
There is an exception in Lingnan Village, and that is Li Zheng.
Most of the game he hunted on his ranch was from Broken Heart Valley, but he always did it behind his wife's back.
When Ye saw Qiu Yan and Gu Qian coming over, she quickly tried to dissuade them, "Xiao Yan, your Uncle Li and the village chief have already taken some strong men down the valley. You don't need to go. Just let Gu Qian go down and take a look."
Wang was among them. She lowered her head and wiped away her tears. "Yes, Xiaoyan, you just wait here."
They all believed that even if Qiu Dafu were found, he would be a corpse. Therefore, everyone was in a somber mood and felt sorry for Qiu Dafu.
Gu Qian nodded to Madam Ye and Madam Wang, "Master's wife, Aunt Wang, you two go back first, I'll go."
Qiu Yan was extremely anxious, so how could she wait here? "Gu Qian is right, the roads are slippery in the rain, you two should go back first."
Ignoring the attempts of Madam Ye and Madam Wang to dissuade her, she charged straight ahead.
Gu Qian chased after her, calling out, "Yan Yan, wait for me."
The Ye and Wang families were at a loss. They were worried about Qiu Dafu's accident, so they did not leave and continued to wait.
Soon, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian descended into the valley.
The sounds of wild beasts echoed through the valley, a sound that tugged at Qiu Yan's heartstrings.
