Zhou Yunxia said she would kill the wild boar and sell it on the black market. She agreed when the four of them split the money. Since she agreed to the operation, she also bears responsibility if something goes wrong.
"It's my fault for being too greedy..." Zhou Yunze was filled with remorse.
If he hadn't made that wrong decision for that little bit of money, this wouldn't have happened.
While treating their wounds, Li Xiyue said, "Alright, don't blame him or yourself. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. With some medicine, you'll be fine after a few days of rest."
It was just a cut on the skin, and a lot of blood flowed out. It looked scary, but it didn't actually damage any bones or tendons.
"Really?" Zhou Yunze and Chen Yu asked in unison.
Huang Xinrui said, "If Yueyue says it's a minor injury, then it's definitely nothing to worry about. Don't you trust Yueyue's medical skills?"
"It looks serious, but it's all superficial injuries; nothing serious has been done," Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“However, the wound is quite large, and the dressing needs to be changed every three days. I’m leaving tomorrow, so someone needs to do this,” Li Xiyue added.
Zhou Yunze and Chen Yu immediately said, "We'll do it."
"What do you two grown men know? Let me do it." Huang Xinrui rolled her eyes at them and went over to learn how to change the dressing.
After bandaging their wounds, Li Xiyue instructed, "Try not to get the wounds wet, but low temperatures can affect wound healing, so be sure to keep them warm."
They all took notes and returned to the educated youth settlement with the wounded.
"Commander Chu, Young Zhou was injured because of me. I want to stay and see if I can help in any way," Chen Yu said guiltily.
Chu Xun agreed.
Not long after, Xu Dashan and his family arrived.
"Dr. Li, I heard you're going back to Beijing for the New Year. Your sister-in-law Yue'e has prepared some New Year's goods for you to take back to your family. They're just some rough things from the countryside, so please don't mind them." Xu Dashan said with a simple and honest smile.
Li Xiyue saw a lot of dried game, as well as some fur hats, gloves, and knee pads, each of which was very exquisite.
"Uncle Dashan, Aunt Yue'e, thank you so much. I will definitely take all these things with me," Li Xiyue said with a smile.
The couple smiled happily.
Fang Yue'e, who was holding Panpan, kept reaching out to Li Xiyue, saying, "Hug, hug."
Li Xiyue took the chubby little dumpling and said, "Has our Panpan gotten fatter again? Her older sister can't even carry her anymore."
Panpan gave the pretty older sister a quick kiss on the cheek, grinning and showing off her baby teeth.
Fang Yue'e was both amused and exasperated, and hurriedly wiped Li Xiyue's face, saying, "You little rascal, you've got my face all covered in your drool."
"It's okay, our Panpan smells sweet, your sister doesn't mind." Li Xiyue also kissed little Panpan, making the little dumpling giggle.
After laughing and joking for a while, the family of three left. Then, Grandma Yu, Grandma Wang, and Gao Xiulan also brought some New Year's gifts.
There are live chickens, live ducks, live fish, eggs, cured meat, dried vegetables, grains, and other items.
Other villagers also gave some things, though not much, but it was their good intentions.
Li Xiyue originally didn't want to accept it, but the villagers all said they had received the grain she had given them, so this little something was a return gift.
The villagers insisted on reciprocating, and Li Xiyue, unable to refuse their hospitality, had no choice but to accept the gifts.
The items were piled up on the table, and there wasn't enough room to put anything else on it.
Li Xiyue selected some items that were easy to carry and necessary to take with her, while the live poultry were left at the educated youth settlement to be looked after by Huang Xinrui.
"Yueyue, I can help you take care of her, but are there any benefits?" Huang Xinrui asked playfully.
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "All the eggs I lay are yours."
"No problem, I'll definitely take good care of it for you." Huang Xinrui patted her chest, then looked at the little white dog wagging its tail beside her and said with a disappointed expression, "The little white dog can't lay eggs, so all the care I've given it is for nothing?"
Little White's swishing tail suddenly stopped, and it looked at Li Xiyue with a mournful expression. "Yueyue, take me away! I don't want to stay in this heartless and cruel place!"
Li Xiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud; they were truly a pair of clowns.
