Chapter 120: Chapter 116: Bitten by a Wolf

Wen Ran’s hair stood up all over, and she instinctively pushed Xiao Chenye.

Xiao Chenye fell off his horse, and a ferocious wolf, with its bloodthirsty mouth wide open, approached silently.

Wen Ran raised her arm to block, and the vicious wolf bit down on her arm, Wen Ran’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

The crowd was restless, Wen Ran, holding the wolf, rolled on the ground, and stealthily took a sip of the space spring water under the cover of darkness.

The pain lessened, and Wen Ran’s complexion improved slightly. She lifted her hand to bend the wolf’s jaw, not giving it a chance to counterattack, and with a snap, she twisted the wolf’s neck.

“Are you okay?”

Xiao Chenye was terrified, scrambling to Wen Ran, shakily lifting her hand, “Is your hand okay?”

“A bit of a problem.”

Her hand still hurt, the main issue was that her clothes were bitten through, and blood was visible. If there was no injury at all, it clearly wouldn’t be realistic.

The crowd gathered around, “Is she okay?”

“Yeah, such a big wolf.”

Xiao Chenye was in tears, “I’m sorry, it was my carelessness. Come on, I’ll take you to the doctor.”

He picked Wen Ran up, ready to run.

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t!”

Held in his arms, with his broad arms encircling her, Wen Ran felt a bit of safety, grinning, “With this heavy snow, where are you going? Besides, do you know the way?”

“I…”

Xiao Chenye was bewildered, tears hanging on his lashes, on the verge of falling.

Wen Ran raised her uninjured arm, “It’s okay, let’s head back first. This is just a minor injury, it’s no big deal, we can go home and heal properly.

Stop crying, aren’t you embarrassed, acting like a man?”

Also, you can’t cry in this weather, the tears would freeze on your face before reaching your chin.

“Wen Ran, Chenye!”

Xiao Chengguang rushed over from afar and dismounted, “What’s going on here?”

“Brother, Ranran was bitten by a wolf.”

Xiao Chengguang’s expression changed upon hearing this; he knew well the strength of a wolf, and Wen Ran’s arm…

“Let’s go,” he said gravely, attempting to take Wen Ran from Xiao Chenye’s arms, “We should go back first, it’s unsafe here.”

“Let me do it.”

Xiao Chenye calmed down a bit, shaking his head in refusal, “Let’s head back quickly, at dawn, we’ll take Ranran to the hospital.”

“Our village has a doctor too, don’t worry.”

“Right,” Wen Ran also comforted, “Don’t worry.”

After drinking the space spring water, most of the serious injuries had healed, leaving only minor wounds.

Moreover, she didn’t need to worry about not getting vaccinated and potentially contracting rabies.

Wolves and dogs, they’re basically family, right?

Thinking about it, it’s really messed up, she’s the injured one, yet she has to comfort the uninjured one.

Ugh!

Holding Wen Ran, he mounted the horse, and in the howling wind and snow, Xiao Chenye murmured in Wen Ran’s ear, “Don’t do this anymore, I’m the one who should protect you.

I’m tough-skinned and sturdy, unafraid of bites, but you are…”

Wen Ran raised her arm, aiming at Xiao Chenye’s hat, and precisely grabbed his ear, “Enough, stop whining, my ears are about to develop calluses from your nagging.”

“I feel pain.”

Xiao Chenye felt a piercing pain in his heart, wishing the wolf had bitten him instead.

Swiftly galloping, Xiao Chenye led the way with Wen Ran.

Sahan saw the victorious returning troops, and his joyful smile quickly turned pale at the sight of Wen Ran’s bloody arm, “What happened?”

“Bitten by a wolf.”

Those few words almost made Sahan faint, “Holy heavens! Quick, quick, call Sandan.”

Sandan was the doctor here, more accurately, an intern doctor.

Wen Ran reassured Xiao Chenye, “I’m really okay.”

Xiao Chenye nodded, “Let’s check it out first, I’m a bit worried seeing you like this.”

Alright.

Leaving the chaos behind, Xiao Chenye took big strides with Wen Ran.

Back home, Wen Ran received the family’s care, while Xiao Chenye was scolded relentlessly by Mrs. Xiao.

“How did I raise such a useless son,” Mrs. Xiao said furiously, “letting Ranran protect you, how thick-skinned can you be?

I’ll peel your skin tomorrow to patch the window! Guarantee the wind won’t blow, the rain won’t break!”

Xiao Chenye, like a dejected puppy, stood obediently in the corner and took the scolding.

Inside, Sandan was dressing Wen Ran’s wound, carefully treating her injury, and remarked, “Your injury is quite mild, I’ve treated it and you should avoid fish and water.

Just rest quietly, I’ll change the dressing for you in three days.”

“Alright, thank you.”

“No need to thank me.”

Sandan, a girl with a round face, smiled gently, “You are our Wuliji here, may the heavens bless you.”

Wuliji?

Didn’t understand, but it should be good words.

Hongguo looked at Wen Ran’s wound, crying with concern, “Sis, does it hurt? I’ll blow on it for you.”

“Don’t blow,” Sandan hurriedly said, “The human mouth is dirty; the more you blow, the slower it heals.”

Hongguo’s face reddened, mumbling, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

“It’s fine, I only learned this through systematic study,” Sandan comforted Hongguo, “Now you know, and that’s what matters. Also, when cleaning her injured arm, it’s best to boil the water, let it cool down, and then gently wipe.”

Not understood, but obeyed completely.

Hongguo tilted her head and asked, “Anything else to note?”

“It’s best to eat plenty of vegetables and eggs to supplement nutrition.”

Hongguo nodded, genuinely admiring Sandan’s skillful demeanor.

She, she also wanted to be someone like Sandan.

Sister always liked to go up the mountain, she couldn’t stop her…

Wen Ran didn’t notice Hongguo’s mental activity, she withdrew her hand, moved it a couple of times, and felt better, not as painful.

“Alright,” Sandan packed up the items, rummaged for a while, and then took out a syringe, brand new.

“Could you please help me put this in hot water to boil it?”

Staring at the needle tip, Wen Ran almost fainted.

“Wait, what’s this for?”

Sandan explained, “A wolf’s mouth isn’t clean, just cleaning the wound is not enough, you have to get a shot.”

It was quite a coincidence that this vaccine even existed; half a month ago, Morigen’s Galu was naughty and got bitten on the butt by a wild dog in the woods.

The village didn’t have a vaccine, and Morigen rode a fast horse for a day and a half to bring back the syringe.

Wen Ran: “?”

So?

She doesn’t want a shot in the butt!

“No, no, no, let’s talk this out,” her face serious, “I feel very healthy right now, honestly, I could punch a cow to death.”

Sandan expertly coaxed her like a child, “With this shot, you could punch two cows to death.”

The pot was already simmering with water; they increased the heat and it boiled vigorously in two minutes.

The syringe was set up, and seeing the liquid spurting out, Wen Ran suddenly felt a sharp pain in her backside, “No, no, no!”

She wanted to run but was blocked by Xiao Chenye who came rushing over.

Mrs. Xiao joined in, cajoling, “Ranran, just take it, it will give us some peace of mind.”

“Yeah, sis, it doesn’t hurt,” Hongguo chimed in, trying to set an example, “How about I do it first? You watch, it really doesn’t hurt.”

Wen Ran: “… Appreciate the offer, but no thanks.”

Sandan: “You can’t, you weren’t bitten, what would you take this for? Plus, the vaccine is very precious.”

Wen Ran lifted her arms and tried to bolt, but everyone crowded her like a game of eagle catching chicks, soon pinning her to the edge of the kang bed.

She trembled, “Can I not take it?”

“You have to,” Xiao Chenye stood foremost, “Be good, take this shot and it will be fine.”

“I feel it’s not going to work.”

Xiao Chenyue watched everyone dilly-dallying and felt it was silly, she approached, grabbed Wen Ran’s arm, and made her squat, “There’s no room for negotiation on this.”

She turned around, “Xiao Chenye, back up, Sandan, please do it.”

Wen Ran looked miserable, “But I’m really okay!”

She drank the spring water, even if there was rabies virus, it would be neutralized by the spring water.

“Listen up.”

The men in the house were ushered to the door to stand guard, hearing Wen Ran shrieking inside.

Mr. Xiao took out his dry tobacco and lit it.

He took a puff, exhaling clouds and mist afterwards, “Old Five, treat Ranran well, if you don’t, we’ll take her as a goddaughter.”

Xiao Chenye: “…Dad, is that appropriate?”

“Appropriate,” Mr. Xiao glanced at Xiao Chenye, “If you can’t, don’t stop us from enjoying family happiness.”

Well said; Xiao Chenye couldn’t argue.

“I know.”

I wouldn’t need you to tell me, I’d treat her well.

Because she doesn’t follow the usual path at all.

Treat her poorly?

Sorry, I’ve got legs, I’ll run ahead first.

Thinking of Wen Ran’s quirky style, Xiao Chenye chuckled.

“Ahhhhhhhh~”

The scream startled the snow off the tree branches.

The snow cascaded down, landing right on the small foal who peeked out to look around.

Little foal: “?”

It whined softly.

Sahan stepped to the door: “!!!”

Judging by the situation, it’s quite a catastrophe, he felt guilty, and quietly doubled the originally prepared reward.

Wen Ran, having taken her backside shot, drooped languidly, lying on the bed with half-closed eyes.

Sandan tidied up her things and bumped into Sahan at the door.

“Captain.”

“How did it go?”

Sandan recalled Wen Ran’s antics during the injection and wanted to laugh but restrained herself.

Her expression was shifting, ultimately leaving Sahan with a sentence, “All handled, just rest now.”

After saying that, Sandan left quickly, fearing she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Sahan entered the room, offered his sympathy to Wen Ran, and departed.

Inside were only the Xiao Family, Mrs. Xiao was deeply concerned, “Are you alright?”

“A bit shaken,” Wen Ran murmured listlessly, “Auntie.”

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly came forward, “Oh, Auntie’s here, tell me, what do you want.”

“I’m hungry.”

Indeed.

After a long tumultuous night, Wen Ran’s stomach started having grievances.

“Eat! Auntie made hand-rolled noodles and delicious toppings, a bundle of twigs would boil the water quickly, you wait, Auntie will make it now.”

“Hmm!”

Wen Ran eagerly waited.

Having an appetite is good!

As long as a person can eat, they can withstand any illness.

She was already weighing ideas, planning to pamper Wen Ran with more good stuff next.
