Xu Qing quickly went up the mountain to the villa. Last time, because she was in a hurry, she didn’t look at the herbs planted in the villa seriously. This time, she would take a good look. She believed that Ying Zhiyao wouldn’t disappoint her. However, as soon as she entered, she saw a white figure. It was the white wolf cub.

Xu Qing tentatively touched it with her hand. The little wolf didn’t dodge.

“Did you miss me?”

“Ahwoo!” The coyote turned its head proudly. Stupid woman, it had taken her so long to see it!

“I had something going on recently…” Xu Qing happily took out the roasted chicken she had bought in town.

“Roar!” At least she had a conscience. The wolf cub’s mouth was full of grease as it ate.

Xu Qing smiled helplessly and got up to choose the herbs. When she passed by the grape trellis, she realized that there was a chessboard there. It must have been set up by Ying Zhiyao when he was bored. However, she really wasn’t good at this. It seemed that this chessboard was tattered.

She chose the herbs and wanted to bring the little wolf down the mountain. However, the little wolf was unwilling, and Xu Qing didn’t force it. She took the herbs and went back. However, she had just walked halfway when she heard a frightened shout, followed by the howl of a wild boar!

This voice belonged to Hunter Cao. Although Xu Qing wasn’t familiar with him, she knew his son. The person who had found a doctor for Xu Jiangxi in time was Cao Xiaochao.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing quickly ran over without saying a word. She saw Hunter Cao dragging his injured leg and running in a sorry state. Behind him was a wild boar with its eyeballs pierced out! No wonder the wild boar was so fierce. Its eyes were injured. From the smell of blood on Hunter Cao’s body, he would probably attract more wild beasts later. She had to speed up!

Xu Qing held a sharp fork and touched the knockout powder while preparing to strike. Hunter Cao accidentally fell and waited in despair to be killed. At this moment, a chirpy shout sounded in his ear. “Move!”

Hunter Cao subconsciously reacted and scrambled to the side. Xu Qing’s tree branch stabbed into the wild boar’s other eye and dodged to the side to avoid the wild boar’s huge body.

Then, the wild boar roared in pain! After a while, the wild boar collapsed!

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that poison was quite powerful!

Hunter Cao looked relieved and shocked after surviving, but he also blamed her. “Little Qing, you can’t do this next time. What will happen to your children if something happens to you?” He was an upright person. If something happened to Xu Qing because she saved him, then…

“Last time, your son helped my father call a doctor in time. This time, I saw that you were in trouble. How could I ignore it?” Xu Qing wiped the dust off her body and bandaged his leg. Seeing that Hunter Cao was embarrassed, she felt helpless. This place was really prejudiced against women. “You’re bleeding now, so you will attract more wild beasts. At that time, I won’t be able to rescue you like I did just now!”

Hunter Cao was wondering how Xu Qing had become so powerful. They were all from the same village, and he had watched Xu Qing grow up. Now that he heard her say this, he didn’t feel conflicted anymore. “We’re all from the same village. It’s only right for us to help each other. However, I might not have the strength to help you carry this wild boar down.” Although he was the one who discovered the wild boar, Xu Qing was the one who killed it in the end and saved him. Hunter Cao wouldn’t take advantage of the little girl.

“You’re injured, so you definitely can’t. I’ll get someone to move it. When the time comes, our family will split it in half. You were the one who injured this wild boar first!” Xu Qing saw that he was honest and sincere. Seeing that he still refused, Xu Qing didn’t say anything else and directly brought him down the mountain. When the time came, she would just send it to his house.

When Xu Qing returned with some fresh blood, a figure rushed out of the straw hut as fast as lightning.

Qiao Yanhui touched Xu Qing nervously to make sure that she wasn’t injured before he finally relaxed. His movements were smooth. If it weren’t for the tears in his eyes, Xu Qing would have thought that he had recovered. From the looks of it, this was his subconscious action. This man must have lived a dangerous life in the past. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so sensitive to blood.

“Honey, I’m so scared!” Qiao Yanhui’s body trembled. His sparkling eyes made Xu Qing’s heart soften.

“Don’t be. Let’s go home.” Xu Qing smiled gently.

At this moment, Xu Sizhi and Auntie Wu also came out. Their expressions changed. When Xu Qing briefly explained what had happened in the mountains, her original intention was to reassure them. However, Auntie Wu cried first. “How could you do such a dangerous thing?! What if you… what about the three babies? They don’t have a father. If they don’t even have a mother…”

When she saw Auntie Wu’s anxious expression, Xu Qing’s heart warmed. She quickly nodded. “It won’t happen again.” As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Qiao Yanhui.

Qiao Yanhui felt a chill run down his spine. He pouted pitifully. “Honey, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that…”
