Chapter 443: The No.1 Scholar’s Dark Moonlight Ex-wife 11
Shen Xinran followed the traces of the wolves and entered a forest. She heard the howling of wolves from afar, so she walked towards the sound. The scene before her made her blood freeze instantly.
Han Ziwen was seen fighting with a wolf. He swung the machete in his hand and hit the wolf in the abdomen.
But the wolf was sturdy, with muscles taut beneath its silver-gray fur. Its strength and speed were beyond the reach of humans.
The wolf fought back fiercely, its sharp teeth biting Han Ziwen's arm tightly. Blood gushed out from the wound, staining Han Ziwen's cotton coat red.
Shen Xinran didn't have time to think. She instinctively rushed forward, looking for something that could be used as a weapon.
Her eyes fell on a fist-sized stone, and she quickly bent down and picked up the stone.
Then he used all his strength to hit the wolf's head hard.
The collision of the stone and the wolf's head made a dull sound. The wolf howled in pain and finally loosened its grip on Han Ziwen.
Han Ziwen took the opportunity to break free from the wolf's control. His body was shaking, but he still insisted on standing up, keeping alert with his machete in case the wolf attacked again.
Shen Xinran held the stone tightly and stood beside Han Ziwen, ready to attack again at any time.
The wolf seemed to realize that the situation was not favorable to it. It let out a low growl, then slowly retreated, and finally turned around and disappeared into the depths of the woods.
Shen Xinran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She walked forward cautiously, carefully examined the wound on Han Ziwen's arm, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Han Ziwen's gaze lingered on Shen Xinran's face for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, but he tried to keep his tone calm, "It's okay, this little injury is nothing."
Shen Xinran nodded. "Wolves are pack animals and they hold grudges very well. We need to leave here quickly before they gather more companions to come back for revenge."
Han Ziwen knew that Shen Xinran's worries were justified and that they had to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. He endured the pain and nodded in agreement.
Shen Xinran supported Han Ziwen, and the two of them carefully walked through the woods and headed home.
As the sky gradually darkened, Yue Hongying's worries grew stronger. She paced anxiously at the door of her house, looking from time to time at the path leading to the mountain.
Finally, she saw two figures gradually approaching in the darkness. They were Han Ziwen and Shen Xinran.
She hurried to meet him, saying as she walked, "You are finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone to the mountain to look for you."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Xinran supporting Han Ziwen, and there was an obvious bloodstain on Han Ziwen's right sleeve.
She paused for breath and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Han Ziwen tried his best to remain calm and said lightly, "It's okay, I was just bitten by a wolf."
Yue Hongying's face was filled with heartache. "You call this okay? Come in quickly. I'll help you take care of your wound."
Yue Hongying pulled Han Ziwen into the room, then trotted to the main room and brought back a bottle of ointment and some clean gauze.
Han Ziwen's eyes fell on Shen Xinran and he said softly, "You go out first!"
Yue Hongying disagreed. She glared at Han Ziwen and said firmly, "You and Xiaoxi are already married, what else can't she see?"
After saying that, Yue Hongying gently took off Han Ziwen's coat, revealing his strong upper body.
Shen Xinran's eyes were immediately attracted by the wounds on Han Ziwen's body. They were not the marks of being bitten by wolves, but the scars on his back.
Although these scars have turned pale with the passage of time, their lines can still be seen. They crisscross and cover Han Ziwen's entire back, which is shocking.
Shen Xinran probably guessed the origin of these scars.
After giving birth to Han Ziwen, Yue Hongying waited for five years with hope, hoping that her husband would return, but she never waited.
Finally, she decided not to wait any longer and embarked on a long journey of thousands of miles to find her husband, taking her young son Han Ziwen with her.
After a long and tiring journey, she finally arrived in the capital, only to learn that her husband had remarried. She went directly to her husband's new residence, hoping to seek an explanation.
But she and Han Ziwen were locked up, beaten by a group of servants, and then whipped by a group of maids and servants. That period was the darkest time in her life.
Yue Hongying was thrown out of the capital like garbage. During the process of being expelled, she was threatened that if she dared to set foot in the capital again, she would be killed without a burial place.
Yue Hongying had no choice but to take Han Ziwen back to his hometown. The injuries on Han Ziwen's body were also caused by that time.
Yue Hongying also saw these scars. Her eyes turned red, but she quickly wiped her eyes, pretended nothing was wrong, and began to apply medicine to Han Ziwen.
Her hands trembled slightly with worry, but her movements were quick and skillful. She first applied a layer of herbs to the wound and then carefully bandaged it with gauze.
Shen Xinran stood aside, silently helping to stretch out the gauze.
During this process, Han Ziwen endured the stinging pain of treating the wound, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a single groan.
It was already late, and the lights in the house swayed in the breeze.
After Yue Hongying helped Han Ziwen treat his wound, she whispered a few words of advice and returned to her room with a worried look on her face.
Shen Xinran placed her hand on Han Ziwen's back, her fingertips gently sliding over the scars, and asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"
Han Ziwen could feel the gentle touch of her fingers, which made his heart tremble uncontrollably.
He answered while putting on his clothes. "It doesn't hurt anymore." But he hated it!
His mother might have thought that time had healed everything, but the scars were still there, so how could she easily forget them?
I have failed many times in exams, and I think he is the one behind this.
However, he is no longer a helpless child. When he grows up, those people will pay the price.
…
The morning sun shone through the window lattice and into the house. Yue Hongying first helped Han Ziwen change the ointment, and then handed him a bowl of freshly boiled herbal medicine.
Han Ziwen caught a glimpse of the dark brown liquid medicine and frowned involuntarily, "Mom, I've already applied the medicine, it should be enough!"
Yue Hongying shook her head firmly. "External application alone is not enough. Internal use is equally important. This medicine will greatly help heal your wound."
Han Ziwen had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, put it on the table first, I'll drink it later."
Shen Xinran stood aside and couldn't help but jokingly said, "You are not afraid of hardship!"
