An Moxue changed Wu Sicheng's dressing and was dealing with the removed gauze when he said to her, "Moxue, thank you, you saved my life again."
An Moxue glanced at him and slowly said, "This time it's not just me."
Wu Sicheng asked, "Was there anyone else? But in my daze, I felt like I heard a voice calling me, it sounded just like you. But I couldn't open my eyes, and then I don't know anything."
"Of course, there are also my two little wolves. They're the ones who found you and called me over. If it weren't for them, I might not have found you at all, since we're quite far apart. You did feed them for those few days last time, and they remember your scent. Otherwise, they wouldn't have called me over."
"Then I must thank them properly."
"Alright! Little wolf, little wolf, come in quickly, your Brother Wu wants to thank you."
When An Moxue called them, the two little ones ran in happily and circled around the two of them. Wu Sicheng saw the two little ones and said in surprise, "They've grown so fast, they're so big now."
The two little ones seemed to know that he was talking about them, and they gently rubbed their heads against Wu Sicheng's legs. Wu Sicheng was also very supportive, saying to the two little ones, "Thank you for saving me. I'll make you something delicious when I'm healed."
The two little ones seemed to understand and became even happier.
"Do they have names yet? Little Wolf, Little Little Wolf?"
An Moxue asked proudly, "How was it? Did you like it?"
"It sounds nice." No matter how old a woman is, if you praise her and her things, she will definitely be happy. Wu Sicheng said to An Moxue, his eyes full of undisguised joy, just like a sky full of stars.
"Do you want to wash your hands before eating, or take a shower before eating?" It's as if you have to make a careful choice.
Wu Sicheng has a strong ability to save his life. "Let's take a shower first, then eat."
He didn't dare to eat even if he wanted to. He had spent a few days with An Moxue last time and had learned a profound lesson: if you want her to like you, at the very least you have to meet her hygiene standards, and not just the general public's standards. Otherwise, she will ruthlessly kick you out, or even not let you into the game at all.
An Moxue deftly took out the items he had used last time and handed them to him, saying, "Go to the kitchen to wash up, there's hot water in the kettle," without caring at all whether he had just been unconscious for a long time and had lost a lot of blood.
As for An Moxue, he had already woken up, and she simply couldn't stand his filth any longer.
While taking a shower, Wu Sicheng was thinking about the mission. He wondered how many criminals had been captured and whether any comrades had been injured. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. No, he had to leave after dinner.
After Wu Sicheng finished washing up and came into the house, An Moxue found the refined and handsome Wu Sicheng much more pleasing to the eye.
"Mo Xue, I have to leave after I finish eating. I don't know how my companions are doing in the mountains! I'm worried about them."
An Moxue knew the mission was important, so she didn't keep him. She got off the kang (heated brick bed), quickly went to the kitchen to get chicken soup and steamed buns. "Come and eat quickly. These two little ones caught this pheasant; it's their first time. You're lucky. Eat more; I put some medicinal herbs in it to replenish your qi and blood. Are you still planning to go into the mountains after you finish eating?"
"Yeah, I lost two people this time. These guys are all skilled in martial arts, and one of my companions was injured. I don't know how they are now."
"Is it alright for you to tell me all this?"
"It's alright, this mission is public knowledge. Besides, you won't tell anyone."
“Then I’ll go with you. You’re too weak right now, I’m worried about you.”
"No! It's too dangerous!"
“I rescued you from deep in the mountains. Do you think I can handle you? Let’s take the two little ones with us and get some medicine. You eat it first, but don’t sneak away. If you do, I’ll chase after you myself. Logically, I shouldn’t let you leave now, but the mission is important, so let’s compromise. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about the mission. I’ll go find Uncle Ma and tell him so he won’t be worried when he comes looking for me. I’ll be right back. After you finish the chicken soup and chicken, we’ll leave when I get back.”
An Moxue turned and left the house, leaving Wu Sicheng with no choice but to quickly start eating.
When An Moxue returned, Wu Sicheng had already finished eating and even washed the dishes.
An Moxue went to the box, took out a bottle of Qi-tonifying and blood-nourishing pills, turned around and handed them to Wu Sicheng, "Twice a day, one pill each time, to tonify Qi and nourish blood. You can take one now."
He turned back and took out more things: a triangular bayonet, a crossbow, wound medicine, gauze, disinfectant, a few fever reducers, a pack of biscuits, a flashlight, three batteries, a box of matches, a packet of seasonings, and then took out a khaki backpack that he had just made a few days ago and put everything in it.
She usually wears rubber shoes when going up the mountain, but today she changed into a pair of military-style Martin boots, went to the kitchen to get a few steamed buns and put them in her bag, and made malted milk powder to fill the two people's military water bottles.
Wu Sicheng was speechless as he watched her pack her things. She was so well-prepared; she was determined to go with him.
He had no choice but to say helplessly, "Mo Xue, you can go, but we have to agree on this: if there's any danger, you run away and don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself first. Okay?"
"Okay." Let's go first and see how things go.
With everything prepared, the two men and two wolves set off into the mountains.
In the mountains, An Moxue asked Wu Sicheng, "What are your plans? Which way should we go?"
He said to An Moxue, "Moxue, let's go to the place where you saved me and see if we can find anything. Then we can make further plans."
"Okay, I'll lead the way. You stay close to me. It's getting dark, and it'll be very dark soon. Let's try to get to our destination before it gets completely dark. Can you do it? If you can't, you have to say something. Don't just pretend."
"Alright, you lead the way."
An Moxue stopped talking and stopped walking. She ran and jumped, and in a few flashes she was far away. The two little ones darted back and forth between her and Wu Sicheng.
Although Wu Sicheng was injured and unconscious, he was young and recovered quickly, so he could still catch up with An Moxue.
After a while, seeing that he was catching up without much effort, An Moxue quickened her pace. Neither of them spoke again, and they focused on their journey while remaining vigilant. This was also the time when wild animals came out to drink water and forage, so they dared not be careless.
Along the way, An Moxue truly surprised Wu Sicheng. After walking for so long, she didn't complain of being tired or slow down.
An Moxue, weaving through the woods, seemed like a forest sprite, as if she were born to belong here. She was light and carefree, not like she was on a journey, but rather like she was strolling through her own backyard, extremely content.
Wu Sicheng was amused by his own thoughts. How could this be? But An Moxue, who was moving through the forest, fascinated him even more. He tried to shake off these wild ideas and chased after An Moxue in the forest.
