Great! With firelight, wild beasts shouldn't come near easily.
Only now did Muguo finally relax a little, and the bleeding in her ankle temporarily stopped.
There's no disinfectant here; hopefully, things won't get worse.
The entire Wolf Castle was shrouded in darkness, with only the blazing fire burning in her place providing a sliver of light.
If she had been naive and inexperienced in the past, she would have been terrified and crying in this situation.
In just three short years, she has built a strong fortress for herself, a fortress that no one can approach or destroy.
Muguo leaned against the big tree behind her, watching the raging fire in front of her. Past events flashed through her mind like movie clips.
She hasn't thought about the past in a long time.
Because I don't have the time or the energy.
She is exhausted every day from the fear of the present and the anxiety of the future.
She couldn't even remember the last time she sat so calmly.
Perhaps because of the firelight and the warmth it provided, Muguo gradually felt a sense of weariness creeping in.
But she still didn't dare to be careless. She climbed up the big tree behind her, chose a flat and comfortable spot, and took a nap.
...
On the other side, Xiao Jinyan saw Mu Guo decisively escape from the crocodile's mouth and then manage to start a fire, and the astonishment in his eyes deepened.
He rarely interacted with women before, and the only women he had the most contact with were Xiao Qingxue and Wen Qingwan.
Although one woman was domineering and the other gentle and tender, he found them both bland and tasteless.
If the two of them were in a place like Wolf's Castle, they would not be as calm and stubborn as Mu Guo.
A strange feeling, which he had never experienced before, inexplicably rose in his heart.
Unbeknownst to him, a strange smile appeared on his lips, without him even noticing.
"Ring ring~"
The ringing of the cell phone broke the rare tranquility.
Xiao Jinyan's brows furrowed unconsciously, and the corners of her mouth were pressed into a tight arc.
When he saw the caller ID on the phone, his handsome, arched eyebrows furrowed even more deeply.
Before I could even speak, I swiped my phone screen and heard Xiao Qingxue's domineering and unreasonable voice on the other end of the line.
"Brother Jinyan, why won't you give me that ugly monster! And you actually went against the old man for that ugly monster, you're just asking for trouble!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
Xiao Jinyan didn't want to waste words with her.
In his eyes, Xiao Qingxue was an unreasonable and ignorant person.
Despite the old man's affection for her, he still didn't want to indulge her.
"Brother Jinyan, how can you talk to me like that? Xue'er is only doing this for your own good. That ugly monster is just a servant..."
"Beep beep beep..."
Xiao Jinyan had no patience for her nonsense and hung up the phone immediately.
When my gaze returned to the screen, Muguo was already fast asleep, perched comfortably on a thick branch.
Although her face was still wrapped in gauze and her hair was disheveled, he couldn't take his eyes off her. He just kept staring at her until late at night.
...
The next day, Mu Guo was awakened by a series of soft noises. In her drowsy state, she felt as if a strange gaze was looking at her.
Slowly opening his eyes, he was greeted by a small green snake with its body arched and its tongue flicking at him!
"ah!"
