Chapter 590 Difficult Birth
Xiaotao quickly disappeared from Gao Hongkang's sight, and he stared nervously in the direction of the forest.
I saw the pairs of sparkling green eyes that were originally scattered in the woods suddenly rushed towards one place.
Gao Hongkang knew that it must be the wolves that started attacking the girl.
He couldn't go to help, otherwise he would only be a hindrance. He gripped the long knife tightly and watched the movements in the woods nervously.
He heard the howling of wolves from the woods from time to time, which meant that the wolves did not gain any advantage for the time being.
Just when he was worried, a wolf suddenly rushed out of the woods and pounced on him.
However, Gao Hongkang was always prepared, fearing that these beasts would launch a sneak attack on him.
The moment he sensed danger, he held his long knife across his chest, thrust the torch in his hand forward, and forced the wolf back a few steps.
"Come here, you beast."
Gao Hongkang was inspired to fight by the wolf. He bent down and made a fighting gesture.
He had just applied medicine to one of his legs and the bleeding had stopped, but it was still excruciatingly painful. He gritted his teeth to endure the pain and not let himself groan. Wolves were very cunning animals, so he had to hide.
The wolf circled around him, and Gao Hongkang followed its footsteps.
Just as a man and a wolf were confronting each other, five or six wolves suddenly rushed out of the woods.
Gao Hongkang was completely dumbfounded. Were these wolves bullying the weak and afraid of the strong? They knew they were no match for the girl in the forest, so they came out to eat him?
These wolves came with great force, not giving Gao Hongkang any chance to react, and several of them pounced on him at the same time.
Gao Hongkang didn't know if he was hallucinating because of the shock, but he heard someone calling him.
"Cousin!"
As Gao Haiguang exclaimed, Gao Hongkang heard the sound of horse hooves, but at this time he had already smelled the fishy stench emanating from the wolf.
He could even feel the wolf's smelly saliva flowing on his face.
In a flash, a figure came walking on the wind.
The fan in Yuwensong's hand flew out like a whirlwind, and a row of sharp blades appeared on the top of the fan.
The fan swirled past the wolves and finally landed on a big tree nearby.
“Ouch——!”
The howls of several wolves echoed in the forest.
However, Shanzi only killed one wolf and seriously injured several wolves, and did not capture all of them.
Seeing that it was no match for its opponent, the injured wolf prepared to retreat.
How could Yuwensong let these beasts go? They have repeatedly harmed people on the road, and he must eliminate this harm for the people today.
Yuwen Song pulled out a dagger and with a few moves, he blocked the wolves' escape route.
After a fierce fight, the ground was littered with wolf corpses.
At this time, Xiaotao also came out of the woods covered in blood.
"Sir."
"Are you okay?" Yu Wensong asked with concern when he saw Xiao Tao was covered in blood.
"No, I am covered in the blood of those beasts."
The two walked towards Gao Hongkang at the same time.
"Uncle, are you hurt?"
At this time, Gao Haiguang was helping Gao Hongkang sit on the ground.
"Hai Guang, why are you here? My cousin is fine. He was just bitten by that beast, and the bleeding has stopped."
"Uncle, let's go back quickly. My father and his men have already brought people to pick you up."
"Your father and others are here too?" Gao Hongkang asked in surprise.
"Well, it was my great grandmother who came to my house to look for my grandfather and told him that you hadn't come back yet. So my grandfather asked my father to organize the people in the village to look for you."
"Oh, luckily they didn't come, otherwise our village would be finished. How could they defeat so many wolves? All thanks to these two benefactors."
"Uncle, these two are guests of our house. They are staying in the village tonight. They heard that you have not returned, so they came to help look for you."
"Ah? I see. I am Gao Hongkang. Thank you both for saving my life. I am willing to work like a slave to repay you."
"Okay, go back quickly. Although your wound has stopped bleeding, it still needs treatment." Yuwensong glanced at Gao Hongkang's leg and reminded.
"Big brother, I can help this uncle, but the wound needs to be cleaned first. Let's go back quickly?" Fubao was still sitting on the horse. She heard the conversation between several people and spoke quickly.
Gao Hongkang then noticed that there was a little girl right beside him, but he didn't take Fubao's words seriously. What would a little kid who had just been weaned read? She probably couldn't even recognize a few big characters, right?
But he didn't say it out loud, after all, they were relatives of his benefactor.
Gao Hongkang was helped onto the horse by Yuwensong and rode with Gao Haiguang, while he and Xiaotao led the horses and slowly walked back.
On the way, they met villagers who came to help. They were delighted to see that Gao Hongkang was still alive, especially the two brothers Gao Hongzhuang and Gao Hongyuan.
No one stood there to greet each other, but immediately went back.
As soon as I returned to the village entrance, I saw the gate of Gao Hongkang's house was wide open, and Gao Hongzhuang's wife, Wu, ran out of the yard in panic.
"Mother of the child, what's wrong with you?" Gao Hongzhuang saw his wife in the light of the torch.
"Dad, have you found your eldest cousin?"
"Found it. Here it is."
"Sister-in-law, I'm here. I'm not dead." Gao Hongkang had a weak smile on his face. His face was a little pale. He was still on the horse and was being helped down from the horse.
"Cousin, my sister-in-law is in labor suddenly. She's still a few days away from her due date. The situation is not good. But we don't have a midwife in our village. I..." Mrs. Wu was almost crying in anxiety. Giving birth is a very dangerous thing for a woman. Now her sister-in-law is in labor prematurely. She was panicked. Where could she find a midwife in the middle of the night?
"What? Your sister-in-law is about to give birth?"
Gao Hongkang endured the severe pain and immediately limped into the house in panic.
Gao Hongzhuang thanked the villagers and asked everyone to go home and rest. They had been busy for most of the night and it was already midnight. In a few hours it would be dawn.
Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only the Gao Hongzhuang brothers, Xiao Tao and Yu Wensong.
"Big brother, I know medical skills, can I go in and take a look?"
After Fubao finished speaking, he let go of Yuwensong's hand and ran into the house.
Someone was giving birth in the house, so Yuwensong couldn't go in, so he quickly asked Xiaotao to go in and take a look.
Hasn't he ever heard Ice Face say that this little girl knows medical skills?
Could it be that she said that on purpose just to join in the fun? And just now she said she helped someone with bandaging, but he just took it as a joke.
Xiaotao quickly followed in.
There were already several people standing in the room.
They are all sisters-in-law from nearby.
Gao Hongkang rushed into the room and came to the kang.
"Mother, how are you?"
"My child's father, you are finally back. I am relieved to see you for the last time. I thought I would never see you again."
There was a thin woman lying on the kang, her face covered in sweat, pale, and with a bulging belly. She was Gao Hongkang's wife, Liu.
"No, no, I'm back. How are you now? I'll go find a midwife for you right now. Just hold on, and everything will be fine."
Gao Hongkang's mother, Old Lady Xu, was standing by wiping her tears. She had just seen that it was a difficult delivery and was afraid that her daughter-in-law would not survive.
"All of you, make way. Don't leave so many people in the room. Hurry up and boil some hot water. Prepare scissors and clean towels. Turn up the lights. If we delay any longer, the person will be dead."
A soft and somewhat irresistible voice came from the door.
Then Fubao's small figure appeared in the room.
