Chapter 288 Encountering a wolf in the wild!
Mrs. Xiao Li Ping held Ran Qingxuan's hand with tears in her eyes, and was supported by Xiao Wenmei into the tent.
Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but shook her head. She knew in her heart that Xiao Hongyi just didn't want to trouble her because of a minor injury. Little did she know that this kind of thought was the most terrifying.
If the bleeding spot was bigger, Xiao Hongyi would probably die before she could even take out the scalpel.
Ran Qingxuan felt it necessary to find some time to have a good talk with them, so as not to cause himself further harm because of fear of bothering others.
"Qingxuan, your dress is soaked by the snow. Go change your clothes first."
Gu Yanchen considerately took out a set of clean clothes and motioned for her to change in the tent first.
As he took the clothes, Ran Qingxuan's hands were shaking.
"Let's go change into the space. It's warm there." Gu Yanchen leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"I'll be out soon."
The others sat around the campfire to keep warm and cook. Ran Qingxuan knew that he would guard the entrance of the tent, so he entered the space with confidence.
Yuanbao, who was resting with his friends, smelled a familiar scent and immediately stood up and ran towards the door.
Although the dogs resting together looked confused, they still got up and followed in a daze.
Ran Qingxuan was standing at the door taking off his shoes. He moved his ears slightly and heard something approaching behind him.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly, turned around abruptly, said "Hey", and opened his hands as if to scare him.
Yuanbao, who was about to approach with a look of joy, suddenly braked and was so scared that he almost flew off on the spot. The dog following behind was also knocked to the ground.
Ran Qingxuan burst into laughter at the scene, but she didn't expect Yuanbao to limp towards her on his front paws, humming and hawing.
Thinking that she was really injured because of him, Ran Qingxuan hurried forward and picked up Yuanbao to check on her.
But no matter how she checked, she couldn't find out where the little guy's paw was injured...
With a speechless look on his face, Ran Qingxuan suddenly reached out and pinched Yuanbao's belly and rubbed it back and forth.
"Okay, you actually learned how to lie to me?"
Yuanbao is more than three months old and is the same size as a one-year-old Maine Coon cat. Not only does he have fluffy fur, but he is also much heavier.
"What delicious food did you eat? Remember to share some with me next time..."
Yuanbao’s eyes widened and he tilted his head strangely.
"Okay, grab the snack and share it with your friends."
He casually took out a bag of dried chicken breast from the drawer at the door, opened it, and let her take it away with her mouth.
Although the dogs are all wild dogs, they are much happier living with Yuanbao in Ran Qingxuan's space than those wild animals outside.
After watching the little guys leave, Ran Qingxuan quickly changed his clothes and left the space.
As the snowy roads were difficult to travel on during the day, everyone was trying their best to move forward, so much so that most of them looked listless after dinner.
Several sisters-in-law and Mrs. Chen, who had even worn out their handkerchiefs and sachets, went into the tent to rest.
Ran Qingxuan went to check on Xiao Hongyi's injuries first, left two antipyretic pills in case of any emergency, and gave some special instructions before leaving.
"Aunt, if Uncle Xiao has a fever and doesn't get better within half an hour after taking the antipyretic medicine, you must come and call me. Don't just go there and do it, okay?"
Li Ping also realized that Xiao Hongyi's injury was caused by not informing him in time. When she heard Ran Qingxuan talk about it, a trace of worry flashed across her face.
"The situation was so chaotic at the time, it's my fault that I didn't find it in time..."
"It's a natural disaster, Aunt Xiao, please don't blame yourself. Anyway, our families have been through hardships together for so long, so don't be afraid to trouble us."
Li Ping nodded gratefully to Ran Qingxuan, and after she left, Xiao Wenmei was there to comfort her.
"Mom, Dad will be fine. We have to trust Qingxuan's medical skills."
"Your life and your second uncle's life were both saved by others. Mother never doubted it..."
Li Ping looked at Xiao Wenmei seriously and said, "We can never repay the debt owed to the Gu family and the Ran family in this lifetime. I understand what your father meant. He just doesn't want to trouble others because of such a small matter.
But this time, she almost lost her life because of it. Mom is still scared. In the future, we should not trouble others for things that are within our ability. If we have to trouble others, we must repay them in the future and remember this kindness, okay? ”
Xiao Wenmei gently stroked the almost invisible wound on her wrist and nodded with red eyes.
"I know, mother. I will keep it in mind."
"Okay, go and have some rest. Tell your grandparents that I'm here and the master will be fine."
After Xiao Wenmei left the tent, Li Ping lay down and held Xiao Hongyi's hand, fearing that she would fall asleep and ignore his situation.
After Ran Qingxuan returned to the tent, he was exhausted and just wanted to rest quickly.
Gu Yanchen moved to the other side and gave her the warm sleeping place. He also considerately placed a hot water bottle next to the quilt, fearing that she would catch a cold at night.
The two were also afraid of being discovered if they entered the space to rest at night, so they basically slept in the tent with the help of heating items.
It was just past eight o'clock, and except for the officers on night watch, everyone else had basically gone to sleep.
Ran Qingxuan yawned and was about to close his eyes, but unexpectedly Gu Yanchen beside him suddenly sat up and reached under the pillow to take out a dagger for self-defense.
The moment Ran Qingxuan noticed his movement, she also realized something was wrong. After she stood up, a Mitsubishi bayonet appeared in her hand.
"Why do I hear a wolf howling?"
In order to confirm his judgment, Ran Qingxuan held his breath and listened carefully.
"It's indeed the howling of a wolf!"
As Gu Yanchen spoke, he quickly put on his outer robe, bent over and walked out of the tent, and Ran Qingxuan followed closely behind him.
At the same time, the night watchman also heard the unusual noise and stood up and shouted into the tent behind him: "Boss, Brother Qian, get up quickly, we seem to be surrounded by wolves!"
According to common sense, animals living in the wild are basically afraid of fire, and Ran Qingxuan and his teammates have encountered this more than once.
So, while the wolves had not yet appeared, Ran Qingxuan quickly returned to the tent, took out several bottles of high-concentration alcohol, made them into Molotov cocktails and took them out.
He took out a few more bottles and handed them to the nervous and alert Gu Yanchen.
"Sprinkle it on the ground all around the tent."
Seeing her blow the fire stick to light it, Gu Yanchen took it and ran quickly along the rest area without saying a word. The officers also came out of the tent at this time, all drew their swords and looked around.
The howling of the wolves became clearer and clearer, and everyone who was resting in the tent was woken up.
Second sister-in-law and the others all came out. Ran Qingxuan was afraid that they would be attacked by wolves in their panic, so he decisively pointed at Madam Gu's tent.
"Second sister-in-law, go to mother's tent and protect her!"
"well..."
Gu Yanzong supported himself on the ground with his hands, and with a little effort he was able to sit steadily in the wheelchair. Zhou Furong pushed him out of Madam Gu's tent, trying to protect the people inside.
The women from the remaining families had fear in their eyes and were trembling as they huddled together.
