C17 I'll Take Care of You
Perhaps it was because she had survived a disaster or because she had found herbs that gave Su Yan a sense of security in a foreign world. She was really happy. She could not help but smile. That smile was like the blooming rhododendron in the mountains.
Qin Shiling looked at the girl in front of him and was slightly stunned.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Su Yan raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. She was curious why he suddenly stopped moving.
"It looks good." Qin Shiling answered somewhat woodenly.
"Right? I think so too."
She thought that Qin Shiling was saying that the herbs were good looking, so she turned around to look at the verdant herb. She took off the dagger and used the back of the knife to clean the soil near to the rhizome. Then, she gently pulled the main stem. This way, it could preserve the herb's integrity to the greatest extent.
The herb's leaves were fan-shaped, thick, round, and glossy. She pursed her lips and smiled, "This herb is not only good looking, but also very useful! We can count on it for our good days in the future!"
She placed the herb into the bamboo basket. The mountain air carried a unique scent of plants and vegetation, refreshing one's heart and mind.
Qin Shiling frowned, stared at her and said, "I will take care of you."
His voice was not loud, but it was firm and natural, as if it was natural and natural.
"Take care of me?" Su Yan was slightly stunned.
To a modern person in the 21st century who was used to all kinds of romantic ways, these words were not outstanding. Su Yan, on the other hand, was slightly moved. She walked further and further along the path of a female doctor. It had been a long time since she had heard this kind of "romantic words."
For the time being... it could be considered as "love words."
But sooner or later, she would have to return to her own world. For a moment, she did not know how to respond, and the scene was a little awkward.
"Let's put away the prey."
Putting aside her messy thoughts, Su Yan was the first to walk towards a fierce wolf that had been shot in the flank and front leg. She prepared to learn Qin Shiling's method of handling deer and pull the arrow out for the wolf.
Unexpectedly, just as she leaned over, the fierce wolf opened its eyes and roared at her in a low voice. Its vigilant eyes were full of unwillingness and sadness.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Shiling had already pulled her over and blocked in front of her. He looked at the wolf vigilantly and prepared to give the fierce wolf a fatal blow.
"Wait!" Su Yan hurriedly pulled Qin Shiling's sleeve and said nervously, "It seems to be pregnant."
Qin Shiling stared at the belly of the fierce wolf and immediately understood. He did not continue to attack.
According to the usual practice of hunters, they would not harm pregnant animals. On one hand, it was because pregnant animals were very animalistic and did not dare to provoke them. On the other hand, it was also to not kill all the prey.
But at that time, the situation was critical and he did not have time to observe. Looking at the wounds on the female wolf, he was afraid that she would not be able to live.
The female wolf looked at the two people in front of her vigilantly and let out a low roar. At the same time, she tightly protected her abdomen. The little wolf's amniotic fluid had been completely ruptured due to the fierce attack. It was currently in the stage of giving birth.
The two sides confronted each other, and neither of them acted rashly.
Su Yan pursed her lips and said with some hesitation, "Let's let it go."
After saying that, she felt a little vexed. No matter what kind of difficulties this female wolf had and how pitiful it was, it was after all the one who attacked them first. Whether it lived or died had nothing to do with her.
With this thought, she turned around and prepared to leave, leaving it to fend for itself.
After she took two steps, she realized that Qin Shiling did not follow her. When she turned around, she found that Hair was squatting in front of the female wolf.
In the middle stage of the delivery, he was seriously injured and had confronted the two of them for so long. The female wolf no longer had any combat power. It was on the verge of death, and Qin Shiling was giving birth to it.
"What are you doing?"
He pursed his lips. "Didn't you want to save it?"
Just because she wanted to, Qin Shiling would do it.
Su Yan simply did not know how to reply. Her heart was filled with gratitude and she did not stop him from doing it.
When Chenxi, who had been hiding behind the big tree, saw Su Yan's moved expression, her face became as black as the bottom of a pot. Her pair of foxy eyes were full of unwillingness, but now he had used up most of his spirit energy and could not do anything.
He turned around unwillingly and left.
Not long after Chenxi ran home, she saw Su Yan and Qin Shiling coming back. Qin Shiling was holding the animal that he had just killed, and Su Yan had always been afraid of blood. She was holding a bloody thing in her hand.
"What is this?"
Chenxi walked closer and saw that it was a few little wolves. They did not even have hair on their bodies. There was a layer of blood on their pink skin. At first glance, they looked like meat that had not been washed clean.
Su Yan took the cloth handed over by Qin Shiling and wrapped the wolves around them as she replied. "We were surrounded by wild beasts when we went up the mountain and accidentally injured a pregnant female wolf. The female wolf died after giving birth, so we brought these little fellows back."
Chenxi raised her eyebrows high. "You want to raise a wolf?"
When the women here heard the word wolf, they would be so scared that they would tremble. Not to mention raising a wolf, Su Yan, who looked weak, actually did such a bold thing.
Qin Shiling helped Su Yan wipe the sticky liquid off the wolf cub's body as he said faintly, "If she wants to raise it, then raise it."
Su Yan smiled gratefully at him. Actually, she also had her own plans. Now that the herbs had been found, the matter of cultivating a new type of seed was also settled.
She believed that it would be a great harvest soon. At that time, the fields could be visited by these little fellows. In addition, she could also watch the house.
Although it was a wolf, it should not be as bestial as growing in the wild if it was raised from a young age.
When Chenxi heard that, she shrugged and looked like she did not care. She looked at the kitchen and rubbed her stomach and said, "When are you going to cook? I'm hungry."
Su Yan rolled her eyes at Chenxi. This guy was lazy to eat and cook all day long. He would either eat or sleep. He was just a rice bug!
She ordered, "You cook today."
Chenxi pointed at her nose and said in disbelief, "Me? You want me to cook?"
Su Yan looked at the reluctance on Chenxi's face and said to the animal corpses on the ground, "Choose whatever you want. The chicken that you ate last time looked quite delicious."
After driving Chenxi into the kitchen, Su Yan followed Qin Shiling to settle down the three wolves.
After that, he wanted to use those herbs to treat the seeds now, but when he saw Qin Shiling quietly take off his clothes to reveal the wound caused by the fight, she could not take a step.
Help him. After all, it was him who caused trouble.
But when she thought of the invasive feeling Qin Shiling had when he forcefully hugged her on the bed, Su Yan hesitated again.
Forget it. Su Yan gritted her teeth and used the anti-inflammatory medicine that Qin Shiling had already smashed to help rub the wound on his back.
Qin Shiling stopped moving and did not say anything.
After the two treated the wound appropriately, the atmosphere was a little ambiguous and awkward. Su Yan coughed twice and was about to say something when... Chenxi carried a plate of black stuff and a roasted meat made from wolf leg out.
"It's time to eat!"
Once Chenxi came out, the ambiguous and awkward atmosphere between Su Yan and Qin Shiling disappeared.
