Chapter 26 Picked up another man
"It's bad. How did I shoot someone? Where did he come from?"
Xiao Dan shook his head solemnly.
Fu Ning frowned and squatted down to look at the man. He had wheat-colored skin, deep eye sockets under a pair of sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose, a jade crown on his head, and a white jade belt around his waist. He looked like a handsome young man.
There was no spiritual energy fluctuation around this person. Either he was not a cultivator, or his realm was much higher than his own, so his spiritual energy was hidden. But this man is so badly injured now, he probably doesn’t have the energy to hide.
Fu Ning didn't dare to conclude, so he called the system. This person didn't look ordinary and should have appeared in the book.
The system also felt that this person's appearance was inexplicable, and quickly compared all the data in its database, but in the end no one could match the person in front of it.
"Boss, this person has never appeared in the novel."
"Then why is he here?"
System: "Maybe it's because of our appearance that the plot has changed."
Fu Ning touched his chin and felt that things were not simple. If the plot changes were caused by her and the system's appearance, this person should be related to them.
"Perhaps this person has changed his appearance."
The man had fainted from the pain. Fu Ning reached out his hand to the man's face and grabbed it hard.
Xiao Dan exclaimed, "Xiao Shuang, what are you doing?"
In his hands was real flesh, it looked like he wasn't wearing a human, skin, or mask. Fu Ning let go of the man's face and clapped his hands, "Let me see if he's dead."
Xiao Dan: “…” Why would you pull someone’s face just to see if he’s dead or not?
“What do we do now?” she asked.
Fu Ning looked at the ornaments on the man's body with shining eyes, "What else can we do? He's dead anyway, let's take away the valuables."
Xiao Dan quickly pulled back her hand that was reaching for the man's belt and probed under his nose, "He's clearly alive, Xiao Shuang, you don't want to let him die, do you?"
Fu Ning curled his lips and said, "He is alive now, but he will definitely die soon with such injuries. Let's not waste our energy."
Besides, she didn't want to pick up a strange man and bring him back to the village. Song Jinghe was enough for her to deal with.
Xiao Dan said anxiously: "How can you not take responsibility for shooting him?"
As the sky gradually darkened, Fu Ning was hungry. She was getting a little impatient and turned around to untie the jade crown on the man's head. "Have you forgotten what our purpose is? We are here to hunt and bring back the prey we catch. We can't eat this man, so why bother with him?"
Xiao Dan hesitated and said, "But this is a human being. You shot him and then let him die? That's too cold-blooded."
Fu Ning took the jade crown in his hand and weighed it twice, unable to suppress the smile on his face. This should be able to sell for a lot of money. "You saw it too. I wanted to shoot a wild boar, and it bumped into my arrow."
While Xiao Dan was hesitating, she took off the man's jade belt. In fact, the man's clothes were not bad. Although they were black, if you looked closely, you could see that they were embroidered with gold thread patterns, which was very exquisite. Such clothes matched Song Jinghe very well.
Forget it, Fu Ning stood up and decided to leave some clothes on this guy. If he took them off, Xiao Dan would start nagging again.
She put the things she had taken from the man into her bag and said to Xiao Dan, "Let's go."
Xiao Dan looked at the man's pale face. Although she felt a little bit sorry, this was the person shot by Xiao Shuang. She was not responsible, so she didn't need to be responsible either. Besides, her family was not as big as Xiao Shuang's. She only had her mother to depend on each other. How could she have the time to take care of this man?
She stood up and prepared to catch up with Fu Ning, but felt that the corner of her clothes was caught by something. She looked down and saw that the man's hand was tightly grasping the corner of her clothes. She glanced at Xiao Shuang who was walking further and further away, and squatted down to pry the man's hand away.
The man's hands were as tight as black iron, grabbing her clothes and he couldn't pry them apart.
Fu Ning heard heavy footsteps and dragging sounds behind him. He turned around and saw Xiao Dan dragging the man by his legs and pulling him away.
She was surprised and asked, "Why did you bring him with you?"
In such cold weather, Xiao Dan was sweating profusely from exhaustion. "He wouldn't let go of my clothes. I don't think he should die."
"Alas." Fu Ning shook his head, "You are really too kind."
Fu Ning helped grab one of the man's legs, and the two of them pulled the man back to the village, not caring whether he would be injured again.
Winter nights come quickly. As they walked into the village, night fell. Most of the hunters had returned, and the village was brightly lit.
Fu Ning let go of his hand and said, "Okay, I'll take you here, and you can work hard the rest of the way."
Xiao Dan blinked and looked at her, "Xiao Shuang, you also know how much my mother hates men. If I bring him back like this, my mother will scold me to death."
Fu Ning put his hands on his waist and asked, "What do you mean, Xiaodan? You don't want me to take this man back, do you?"
"Please, Xiaoshuang." Xiaodan put her hands together and placed them on her chin. "Anyway, there are still empty rooms in your yard. Besides, your relationship with Xiaojing is so stable, Xiaojing will definitely not be jealous."
Fu Ning stopped talking. What he said was true. Her relationship with Song Jinghe was indeed very stable. It was the kind of stability where the other party hoped for her death. It was impossible for him to be jealous.
Besides, it is very dangerous to let such a person of unknown origin follow Xiaodan. It should be better for her with the system.
Seeing Fu Ning's thoughtful expression, Xiao Dan quickly pulled up the man's legs and said, "I'll help you pull him to your yard."
"Oh." Fu Ning sighed resignedly and followed Xiao Dan back to his yard.
When Song Jinghe came out of the kitchen, he heard some noise at the door. Sure enough, it was Fu Ning who came back. He frowned and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"
Then he saw Xiaodan also appear at the door, and the key point was that she was dragging someone with her, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Fu Ning smelled the aroma of the food and immediately rushed to Song Jinghe, "Wow, we're having roasted eggplant today, I like it."
Song Jinghe had already seen clearly that the person Xiao Dan dragged back was a man. He stared at Fu Ning and asked, "Who is that?"
Fu Ning raised an eyebrow and said, "I shot it accidentally while hunting. I don't know who it was."
She turned back to look at Xiao Dan, "Forget it, I'll carry him back to the house to stop the bleeding, so he doesn't die in my yard."
Song Jinghe suddenly grabbed her wrist, and Fu Ning looked at him in confusion.
He pursed his lips, no emotion visible in his dark eyes, but his grip on her wrist grew tighter and tighter.
"What's wrong?" Fu Ning felt pain in his wrist and frowned.
Song Jinghe stared at her without saying a word, and even Xiaodan felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Fu Ning lost his patience, "If there is nothing else, don't delay me from saving people."
The force on her wrist suddenly loosened, and Song Jinghe's face regained its calmness, "I'll wait for you to eat."
"Oh, that's so sweet!" Xiao Dan cheered on the side.
Fu Ning rubbed his red wrist, feeling unhappy, and said to Song Jinghe: "No need, you eat first."
After saying that, without caring about Song Jinghe's reaction, she and Xiaodan dragged the man of unknown origin into the side room that had been vacant.
No one lives in the side room, but it is clean. Fu Ning has never cleaned it. It seems that Song Jinghe cleans it regularly.
The two men carried the man onto the bed. Fu Ning took a quick look at the arrow wound on the man. The wound was not deep and he should be fine after the arrow was pulled out.
She said to Xiao Dan, "You watch him first, I'll go find the knife."
When she returned to the main house, Song Jinghe had not eaten yet and was sitting aside reading a book.
After Fu Ning came in, he watched Fu Ning's movements without saying a word.
The system popped up: "Boss, is the villain jealous?"
Fu Ning rummaged around the house and prepared the knife, medicine powder, gauze, needle and thread, and wine he needed. He ignored Song Jinghe and walked out the door.
"We only have a 50% favorability rating, how could we possibly make him jealous?"
System: "What is the villain angry about?"
Fu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I didn't eat the food he cooked."
Xiao Dan was still waiting in the side room. When she saw Fu Ning come in, he made way for her.
Fu Ning picked up the scissors and cut open the man's clothes layer by layer, revealing his muscular upper body and eight abdominal muscles like a washboard.
"Wow, so handsome!" Xiao Dan exclaimed, holding his face.
Fu Ning rolled his eyes at her and said, "Now is not the time to be crazy. Please help me wash the knife with wine."
Xiao Dan did as she was told. When she saw Fu Ning giving the man a pill, she asked curiously, "What did you feed him? Why didn't I know you could treat arrow wounds before?"
"I fed him painkillers." Fu Ning made up a story, "I learned the method of treating external injuries from the old doctor in the pharmacy a while ago."
"Oh." Xiao Dan nodded, not dwelling on the issue, and became concerned about the man, "He should be okay, right?"
Fu Ning took the knife from her hand and cut the skin around the arrow wound. Blood quickly flowed out. She pressed it with cotton cloth, returned the knife to Xiao Dan, grabbed the arrow and pulled it hard. The man's body bounced up and down slightly with her movements, and blood flowed out of the wound, staining the bed sheets red.
Xiao Dan covered her mouth, "Why is there so much blood?"
Fu Ning was very calm. She took out the prepared needle and thread and started sewin g in an orderly manner.
Among the countless wounds she had seen, this one could be considered a minor one. The wound was neither deep nor poisonous and was easy to treat.
Seeing that Fu Ning was not panicked at all, Xiao Dan gradually felt relieved.
After Fu Ning finished sewing the last stitch, he sprinkled medicine powder on his wound, and together with Xiao Dan, he lifted up his upper body and wrapped him with gauze.
"Okay." Fu Ning said, "As long as he gets through tonight, he will be fine."
Her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
Xiao Dan breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Go eat, I'll watch him for a while."
Fu Ning put away his knives and smiled, "Your attitude towards this man seems to be different."
Xiao Dan tapped her forehead and said, "What's the difference? But you, go back and eat quickly. You made Xiao Jing wait for so long."
"Ouch." Fu Ning covered his forehead, looked at Xiao Dan's slightly red cheeks, and returned to the main house with a smile.
Song Jinghe was still reading a book and only put it down when he saw her come in.
Fu Ning looked at the untouched food on the table, sat down beside the table and picked up his chopsticks, "Didn't I tell you to eat first?"
Song Jinghe took away the roasted eggplant she was about to pick up and said, "The food is cold. I'll go heat it up."
The system's excited voice rang in Fu Ning's ears, "Boss, the villain's favorability has risen by another five points, now it's fifty-five points!"
【Author has something to say】
Sister Fu: It’s because I didn’t eat the food he cooked.
