So, there’s no way he could lose his other kidney. regardless of Zhang Xiaomei’s relationship with him. She cannot let him lose his other kidney. In her previous life, her kidney had been nurtured within him, enabling him to survive—it sustained him while she died. But in this life, she didn’t want to die so early.
Tang Yuxin had also found a large tree to lean against. Not long after she closed her eyes, she felt a sudden pain in her shoulder.
Opening her eyes, she found Gu Ning pulling her back, telling her to hide out of sight.
His dark pupils were filled with a horrifying gloom, resembling a wild beast. The dagger tightly clenched in his hand was incomparably sharp. Even his aura had transformed, becoming sharp, fierce, and fear-inducing.
Tang Yuxin clung tightly to her bag, unable to react in time. Suddenly, a wolf lunged toward them, narrowly missing Gu Ning’s body as it attacked. Gu Ning extended the dagger in his hand and, stabilizing his body, brutally plunged the weapon into the wolf’s throat. After a few struggles, the wolf’s body convulsed, and it shortly fell limp, dead.
Throughout it all, Tang Yuxin kept hiding in the back, too terrified to make a noise. She had always thought such incidents only occurred in TV shows. But there she was, seeing a wolf—and a man killing a wolf—in person.
Just as he exhaled in relief, another wolf lunged. It knocked Gu Ning down, its sharp teeth digging into his shoulder.
The warning cry that Tang Yuxin wanted to shout out stuck in her throat, silenced by fear.
“Yuxin, run!” Gu Ning suddenly shouted as he looked back at Tang Yuxin.
Tang Yuxin dropped her bag and turned to run.
Gu Ning persevered through the pain of the wolf’s teeth piercing into his flesh. He continuously thrust his dagger into the wolf. In response, the wolf’s teeth tore at Gu Ning’s flesh. Just as it opened its mouth to bite his neck, a large stone came out of nowhere and struck its head.@@@@
The wolf howled in pain and toppled onto the ground. It tried to escape, but the stone, thrown with great force, flattened half of its head. Reflected in its eyes was a young woman with a wooden expression and a large stone that rained down on it repeatedly.
“Bam, bam, bam...”
She now understood where all the wounds on this man’s body came from. They were not a result of family disputes. His wounds were a testament to times when he had traded his blood and flesh, his own body, for his survival.
She opened a bottle, poured the medicine into Gu Ning’s wounds, and he opened his eyes. He sat there quietly, not saying a word.
“Your medicine is quite good,” he said. As the injured one, he could feel the cool sensation when the powder was poured onto his body. Though he had been injured many times before, this was different. There was no bleeding, and it seemed to have an analgesic effect. His wound at the waist, although exerting a great deal of strength, did not have the initial excruciating pain.
“I formulated it myself,” Tang Yuxin continued to bandage Gu Ning’s wound. “It’s an ancient remedy, passed down through generations. Though rarely used nowadays, it is most effective for serious wounds like yours.”
She then removed the clothing around his waist to check his wound. She didn’t feel much about doing so because to her—all doctors know there is no difference between treating male or female patients.
The bandage around his waist wasn’t soaked in blood, which meant the wound was healing and hadn’t reopened. This was good—considering his body was practically riddled with holes.
“You did this, didn’t you?” Bao Shuai asked, pointing to the wolf with the crushed skull.
“Why do you ask?” Tang Yuxin finished adjusting Gu Ning’s clothing and began to pick up her stuff.
“Him...” Bao Shuai glanced at Gu Ning, “...he’s the type to kill with one strike. He wouldn’t take the time to smash something with a rock.”
Tang Yuxin smiled awkwardly. Truth be told, recalling the death of those two wolves made her uncomfortable.
Gu Ning glanced at Bao Shuai.
Bao Shuai shrugged. “I didn’t say anything. I just think your niece is impressive—equally as capable as a man.”
Gu Ning and Tang Yuxin felt something strange about Bao Shuai referring to her as Gu Ning’s niece. This had boosted Gu Ning’s seniority by quite a bit.
“Alright,” Bao Shuai tore a rabbit leg and gave it to Tang Yuxin. “Little niece, I’ll give you both legs. They’re the best parts. Only here can you taste the most authentic game.”
