Chapter 62 A Sincere Thank You, A Serious Settlement
Just as Xiao Bao was about to be stabbed in a vital spot, Zuo Shan felt her mind go blank. The next second, she felt as if her whole body was on fire.
In an instant, she felt her body lighten, and she rushed to Xiao Bao's side at an incredible speed, barely managing to block the dagger that was stabbing down in her hand with the testing knife.
She couldn't even believe that she had actually managed to block the attack in time, but she did.
The next second, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she fainted.

Modilan Shield walked out of the house, and Maoli followed closely behind. He was also very worried because his master and Xiaobao had not returned yet.
But he had to keep a close eye on this man and not let him steal the Purple Cloud Egg.
Now that he's going out, he naturally follows him out.
Chestnut skipped and hopped towards the bamboo forest, and Mordiland followed.
He hadn't gone far when he sensed movement a few hundred meters away.
It sounded like a fight, but he didn't want to get involved. These wasteland scavengers were just fighting over a little food, and it had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, he heard Zuo Shan's shrill cry: "Xiao Bao!"
Without time to think, his body reacted before his brain could. He teleported directly to the source of the sound and saw the woman lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance.
The iron-eating beast cub also appeared to be injured, growling softly but standing firmly in front of her.
Standing opposite them was a burly man, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.
He had seen this dagger before; the woman had loved it dearly, touching it repeatedly and even keeping it under her pillow while sleeping.
Mortilan said coldly, "You dirtied her dagger, you deserve to die!"
When Tong Laoda heard the sound, he turned around and saw a man wearing a burlap sack. He looked like a penniless scavenger, and probably a homeless man who would freeze to death on the roadside when the extreme cold arrived.
"Get out of my way! You dare meddle in my business? You're asking for death!" Boss Tong cursed angrily.
However, his mind quickly realized that he hadn't noticed when this person had appeared.
No, this is very wrong!
He instinctively tried to back away, but it was too late. The next second, his fingers holding the dagger froze, and the dagger fell to the ground.
A wave of cold air swept over him, and in just one second, he was frozen solid, his thoughts completely frozen.
He then lost consciousness and stopped breathing.

When Zuo Shan woke up, she was already lying on her bamboo bed. She blinked hard, her mind full of questions. How did she get home?
"Xiao Bao!" The next second, she remembered Xiao Bao who was injured, and exclaimed as she rolled off the bed.
"Tsk tsk, a woman like you doesn't deserve to be a mother? Don't you have even the slightest sense of self-awareness as a pregnant woman?" A cold yet magnetic baritone voice rang out in the darkness.
The pregnant women that Modilan had seen before all walked very carefully. This woman not only went to the wilderness to scavenge while heavily pregnant, but also fought desperately against a heartless man like Boss Tong. Now that she has safely returned home, she is still so easily startled.
I really don't know what sins that poor child committed to be born into her womb and become her child.
"Mao Li, Mao Li, where's the light?" Zuo Shan shouted. The next second, Mao Li turned on the soft night light, illuminating every corner of the room.
Ignoring the sarcasm in Mordiland's words, Zuo Shan rushed to the crib.
When she saw Xiao Bao curled up asleep on the bed, her heart relaxed a little, but she still went over to check its injuries carefully.
Although Xiao Bao was a cub, the mutated beast's fur was thick. Although the three metal spikes pierced its left side and abdomen, they only penetrated about half an inch and were not fatal.
"I've already cleaned the cub's wound and sprayed it with hemostatic and anti-inflammatory spray. It's not a big problem; it should be fine in a couple of days," Modilan Dun explained.
Apart from that, Xiao Bao was not harmed in any other way. The cub had been busy all day and had even done hard work on the way back, helping to drag the sacks. When he got home, he was so tired that he naturally climbed into bed and fell asleep.
These left-hand fan elements become clear with a little thought.
Seeing that Xiao Bao was alright, she finally felt relieved and turned to look at Morti Lan Dun seriously: "You arrived in time and saved us, right?"
"I ran into him while I was out for a walk. That Boss Tong stole my clothes earlier, so I took care of him." The man spoke casually, as if he were talking about something as ordinary as eating a steamed bun that evening. It was clear that he didn't care about the life or death of a scavenger from District 50 at all.
"Thank you! But now we're even. The double compensation is waived. You just need to return my principal later. I don't want to take advantage of you." Zuo Shan thanked him earnestly and calculated the accounts carefully.
Mortilan Shield: ...
What an ungrateful woman! I should have just left her alone.
His injuries hadn't fully healed to begin with, and in his desperation, he used both teleportation and freezing abilities, which will likely delay his recovery by a few days.
However, he felt there was no need to tell her these things; he had originally only intended to have her as his future chef.
"I'm hungry. Also, the ice on those bamboo rats in the sack by the door is almost melted. We'd better deal with them quickly," the man said with a look of disgust.
As he picked up the unconscious woman, the iron-eating beast cub frantically pried at the three burlap sacks. Helpless, he had no choice but to string the three sacks together with an ice pillar, then throw the cub onto the sacks and teleport home together.
Bah! It's this woman's house.
Upon returning to the woman's house, he found the bamboo rats dirty and smelly, so he simply froze all three burlap sacks together with a lump of ice and threw them at the door.
"Thank you so much, you've worked so hard!" Zuo Shan thanked her again, and Modi Lan Dun felt that this time her thanks seemed to be more sincere.
As expected of a scavenger from District 50, she values food more than her own life.
