The jackals, restless and agitated, lunged forward, baring their fangs and claws.
Their lives are in grave danger.
"I want to die."
Ye Xiaoqian threw a dart from several feet away. The dart swirled in the air and then suddenly pierced the jackal's back.
The jackal twisted its body and ran backwards like a madman.
Facing the charging jackals, Ye Xiaoqian remained calm, tiptoeing as he sprinted towards them in an arc.
"Give me the sword!" Ye Xiaoqian shouted.
Before Yuan Doudou could react, An Rong had already snatched the sword from her hand and thrown it forcefully into the air.
Ye Xiaoqian caught the sword gracefully and drew it swiftly. Just as she was about to meet the jackal, the sword pierced straight into the jackal's temple.
Time stood still.
Then, Ye Xiaoqian forcefully pulled back the longsword.
Blood splattered out as the jackal crashed heavily to the ground.
Yuan Doudou's eyes widened, her face filled with terror. After the danger was over, her nerves relaxed, her legs went weak, her vision went black, and she fell backward.
"DouDou!" She heard two voices before she lost consciousness.
In a daze, Yuan Doudou heard someone talking.
"Now you're feeling good. DouDou almost lost her life because of you. What's so great about you that makes her so attached to you?"
Ye Xiaoqian gritted her teeth, wishing she could devour the man who was bowing his head in front of her.
His gaze was deep as he looked at the person on the bed.
"I advised her not to worry about you. What could possibly happen to a man like you outside? It's not worth her going out to look for you in the middle of the night," Ye Xiaoqian said angrily.
"But she wouldn't listen and risked her life to go up the mountain."
Ye Xiaoqian's eyes turned red, and her voice became hoarse.
She and Yuan Doudou hit it off immediately, and she genuinely considered Doudou a friend.
"I'm sorry," An Rong said, her voice choked with emotion.
Ye Xiaoqian was stunned. She thought An Rong would remain aloof and unrepentant.
It's as if a god has been pulled down from his pedestal, which is quite surprising.
"Now you know you're sorry, at least you have a conscience. Since I've become friends with her, I can't let others bully her, even if that person is her husband," Ye Xiaoqian said indignantly.
Yuan Doudou was afraid they would continue arguing, so she struggled to open her eyes.
What came into view was An Rong's handsome face filled with worry. She smiled and thought, "He's still alive, that's good."
"It's good that you're back," she said softly. "Please don't leave again, okay?"
I'd rather die at home.
This is what she asked for.
An Rong nodded emphatically: "Okay, I promise you."
I'll die at home.
Follow her wishes.
"Are you hungry? I'll get up and cook." Yuan Doudou propped herself up on the bed with her elbows, her knees still aching.
An Ronggang helped her lie down.
Ye Xiaoqian leaned closer and said reproachfully, "He won't starve if he misses a meal, but your health is the most important thing."
With such a severe knee injury, why would you get up and cook? Are you crazy?
"I can cook," An Rong told her to relax.
Even if they don't eat, Angie is a child and can't go without eating.
Yuan Doudou gave in, because her knees were really hurting too much.
"You can cook?" Ye Xiaoqian almost burst out laughing. "Forget it, I'll do it."
I'm afraid his cooking might poison people.
It's just breakfast, it's easy.
Ye Xiaoqian has been traveling the world for over ten years and has cooked countless meals.
While on the mountain, she cooked a lot, and her master and fellow disciples all praised her culinary skills.
"Xiao Qian, you're a guest. Let An Rong cook," Yuan Doudou quickly advised.
An Rong also gave him a look of agreement.
"He's limping, and his injuries are even worse than yours. I can't eat his cooking," Ye Xiaoqian said with disdain, scanning her up and down.
Deep down, she looked down on An Rong.
However, recalling the night on the mountain, when jackals suddenly attacked, if it weren't for An Rong, no matter how fast she was, Dou Dou would have been in grave danger.
He's still somewhat useful.
It's worth it to cook him a meal.
Ye Xiaoqian rushed off to the kitchen.
Inside the room, Anji lay beside Doudou, asking in a childish voice, "Mommy, what's wrong?"
When he woke up, he saw his mother lying next to him, her face pale.
Father sat on the edge of the bed with a worried look on his face.
Yuan Doudou touched his little face and smiled, "It's okay, he just tripped and fell."
Angie quickly looked at the bandaged area; the handkerchief was still soaked in blood.
"Father, don't forget to find a doctor for Mother," Angie reminded him.
An Rong nodded.
As he got up to leave, DouDou called out to him, "No need to bother, it's just a minor injury, it'll heal in a few days."
"I can only feel at ease after seeing a doctor," An Rong said worriedly.
It was his fault. If DouDou develops a chronic illness because of this, he will not rest in peace even in death.
“Okay.” Yuan Doudou could only go along with him.
A barefoot doctor from the village came over, examined the wound, selected several herbs from his own collection, crushed them with a mortar and pestle, applied them to the wound, and then wrapped it with clean gauze.
"Rest in bed for three days, and don't let the wound get wet," the doctor instructed.
An Rong saw him off and offered him money, but the doctor waved his hand and refused.
“Your father helped me before, so this little thing is nothing to worry about. But I feel guilty for not being able to save your mother.” Hua Tuo shook his head and sighed.
An Rong pursed his lips and remained silent.
After seeing Hua Tuo off, An Rong smelled a burnt odor.
He frowned and walked into the kitchen, where he saw Ye Xiaoqian coughing from the smoke.
She held the firewood in her hand and shook it vigorously, sparks flying everywhere.
The dry grass that had fallen to the ground caught fire.
"Ah!" Ye Xiaoqian jumped up in panic.
An Rong walked over with a cold face, picked up the broom by the door, and slapped at the flames on the ground.
The flames gradually died out.
