Five minutes later, Qi Xili and his team joined in, quickly taking control of the situation with overwhelming momentum.
The guards took down the wolves, and soon only two remained alive.
They exchanged a glance, realizing they had no chance of winning. Unwilling to accept defeat, yet terrified by the dire situation, they were forced to retreat.
But Qi Xili didn't let them go. He used two peanuts to send the two wolves to their deaths. With that, the crisis was completely resolved.
As the person approached, Li Gangtie grabbed Qi Xili's leg and cried out, "Old Qi, you're finally here! You have no idea how scared I was! It wouldn't matter if I died, but there are so many people here. I brought everyone out safely; if they had met with disaster, even in death my soul would not find peace!"
I regret it so much. How could I have been so greedy and not gone down the mountain sooner...
Li Gangtie cried his heart out, which touched the hearts of everyone on his team.
"Captain, don't cry, we don't blame you. After all, no one expected to encounter a pack of wolves."
"In the end, everyone is responsible for this. We all took the risk just to eat a few more bites of meat. Captain, you don't need to take the blame. Besides, everything's fine now."
"Yeah, it's unnecessary. It's just a scrape, nothing serious."
Qi Xili glanced at the group and saw that although they looked disheveled, they weren't seriously injured. He then pushed Li Gangtie aside and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Li Gangtie didn't hide anything and recounted how they caught rabbits, snakes, pigs, sheep, deer, and fish.
In conclusion: "Perhaps we reaped too much, which aroused the jealousy of the heavens, which is why they released a pack of wolves to block our path."
After hearing their story, Qi Xili exclaimed in disbelief, unsure whether to call them lucky or unlucky.
On the one hand, they were lucky; they didn't make it down the mountain until dark and were nearly devoured by wolves. On the other hand, they were unlucky; they worked all day and only caught a few rabbits and pheasants, while the other side had not only pigs but also fish, their catch several times greater than theirs. There's really no comparison.
Now it's even worse, the ground is full of wolves, and they're all meat!
"Alright, let's hurry down the mountain. Their wounds need to be treated," Qi Xili said, patting Li Gangtie's head.
Li Gangtie nodded: "Yes, yes, let's hurry down the mountain."
Qi Xili helped tie the wolves together, and the uninjured guards pulled them along. Li Gangtie and Chang Anhui picked up the fish that had fallen to the ground and put them back in the basket.
Shen Yanming didn't help, but he threw the wolf he had poisoned away. Then, without making a sound, he cut open his sleeve.
The gruesome wound, exposed to the cold air, sent a shiver down his spine.
Shen Yanming took out a plastic bottle from his backpack, opened it, and poured the liquid inside onto the wound.
This is spring water; my wife just filled it for me. It's a small bottle, not very conspicuous.
Then he took out a packet of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the wound. The wound quickly clotted, and Shen Yanming took out a clean gauze and wrapped it around the wound.
However, he had difficulty operating with only one hand, so Ji Kangyong came over to help. Layer upon layer of gauze was applied, and the wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The medicinal powder Shen Yanming used was ingenious; it could repair internal damage without concealing surface marks. This way, even if a hospital examination was conducted, no one would notice anything unusual. They would simply assume the wound wasn't deep to begin with.
Ji Kangyong bandaged Shen Yanming's wounds and tied his torn sleeve with a rope before starting to treat his own injuries.
Ji Kangyong was such an unlucky guy; he was scratched on the face by a wolf, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, he could have gone blind.
Shen Yanming washed his wounds with spiritual spring water and then applied the same medicinal powder he had used earlier. He then put gauze on his face and teased him, "Now you're a perfect match for Qin Yiren."
Ji Kangyong wasn't angry and nodded good-naturedly: "Okay, go back and ask her if she dislikes me. If she doesn't, then we can get the marriage certificate."
He knew that Shen Yanming had scar removal cream, so he wasn't worried about being disfigured at all.
Shen Yanming smiled, took out a pill from his bag and put it in his mouth, saying with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I called you here, and it almost cost you your life."
Ji Kangyong waved his hand dismissively: "No need, I came of my own volition, you didn't force me. By the way, what did you give me to eat?" He felt a warmth spreading through his body.
"The medicine is just to boost immunity." Actually, it's for preventing rabies, but he didn't dare say that.
"Oh, it's quite effective. I feel warm all over." Ji Kangyong nodded seriously.
"It's probably just your imagination," Shen Yanming rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that he really was spouting nonsense. There was only a little bit of spiritual spring water in there, plus some medicinal herbs that grew in the space; at most, the medicinal effects would be slightly better. It was absolutely impossible for it to make the body feel hot. At most, it would just make you feel a little more comfortable.
Qi Xili overheard their conversation just as he finished binding the wolf. He asked, "Do you have any more medicine? Can you treat them?" Otherwise, by the time they returned to the guard team in a few hours, it would be too late.
Shen Yanming nodded: "Also, it can be handled, but I'm not skilled enough, so I'll still have to see a doctor when I get back."
Qi Xili smiled, not taking his words seriously. He knew Old Shen had good medicine. That wound would probably be fine after treatment.
"Okay, you treat everyone first, and then we'll have them all checked at the base hospital when we get back."
The injured guard was confused and thought that it was because Shen Yanming was carrying medical supplies that Captain Qi gave this order.
However, they were willing to cooperate, since they felt unclean themselves because the wound wasn't properly cleaned. If it got infected, there weren't many antibiotics available. It could even lead to amputation...
Oh my, that scene was so tragic, I can't even imagine it.
So the group didn't rush to leave; the injured ones exposed their wounds so that Shen Yanming could treat them.
Comrade Lao Shen first washed their wounds with the spring water, and then sprinkled on the special medicinal powder.
Ji Kangyong followed behind him to help, mainly bandaging everyone's wounds.
Soon, the wounded were treated. Shen Yanming fed everyone a pill, and he also took one himself.
However, no one reported feeling warm; everyone felt nothing after eating. This made Ji Kangyong wonder if his earlier sensations were just an illusion.
What Ji Kangyong didn't know was that the pills Shen Yanming later fed to everyone were made from ordinary medicinal herbs, so of course they wouldn't have that warm feeling. Even if it were just an illusion, there wouldn't be.
However, those whose wounds had been treated looked much better, and they all felt that their wounds were not as painful.
Shen Yanming said, "It may be that the cold weather has reduced people's sensitivity to pain."
Everyone thought it made sense and was fooled.
Qi Xili gave a signal, and the group packed up their game and headed down the mountain.
When we passed a wild boar, we put it down and threw it on the ground so it could roll down the mountain.
