NovelEnglishChapter 2338: She Would Rather Just Die, Really…
“Please don’t bite me after I take this trap off for you. I don’t have money to get treatment,” Yi Liang said as he stretched out his hand to grab the animal trap.
Because of the trap’s strength, as a child, Yi Liang found it hard to open the trap.
The teeth of the animal trap also kept rubbing against Ning Shu’s wound.
Ning Shu: …
She would rather just die, really…
Ning Shu stared at Yi Liang blankly, which made Yi Liang a little nervous. His nose began to sweat.
“Be patient. I’ll be able to open the trap right away,” Yi Liang comforted her.
Yi Liang exerted a lot of strength and finally opened a gap in the trap. Ning Shu hurriedly pulled her leg out.
A second more, she felt, and her legs would really become destroyed.

Ning Shu whimpered at Yi Liang while he wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to her, “You should go now.”
She stared at him. In the original storyline, this boy was supposed to be a twelve-year-old. However, he was malnourished, so he didn’t look his age.
His clothes were patched, and his toes were sticking out of his shoes.
On such a cold day, he didn’t wear much. His clothes were also only tied around his waist by a thin rope.
He was so clearly impoverished.
Despite his dire straits, though, after he rescued Bai Sanniang, Yi Liang still didn’t kill nor sell her.
He must be very kind.
“Are your legs injured?” When he saw Ning Shu’s leg, Yi Liang scratched his head and looked around. There was snow everywhere, and he couldn’t find any herbs.
Ning Shu wasn’t concerned. With that animal trap gone, her wound would slowly heal anyway.
She jumped into Yi Liang’s bamboo basket. He was a little surprised, then said, “Go away. I can’t raise you.”
Yi Liang stretched out his hand and carried Ning Shu out of the bamboo basket. He then walked away with the bamboo basket on his back.
He was reluctant, but he finally decided to let Ning Shu go.
He felt that it’d be a pity for such an intelligent fox to die like this.
When they faced hunger and cold, it was natural that a person would prioritize their survival, but this child’s kind heart prevailed over his own survival instinct.
Ning Shu looked at Yi Liang’s receding back and limped towards him.
Yi Liang saw Ning Shu from the corner of his eyes, then stopped and sighed.
He put down the bamboo basket, stretched out his hand, and carried her into the basket. He then took off his clothes and covered Ning Shu’s body with it to prevent her from being seen.
Yi Liang carried the bamboo basket on his back, then ran. Meanwhile, Ning Shu was tossing and turning in the basket.
Holy sh*t, her legs hurt!!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNing Shu looked at the view outside through the bamboo basket’s gaps.
This forest was located on the mountain behind Yi Liang’s house. Ning Shu had expected that Yi Liang’s house would be completely ramshackle, but she didn’t expect it to be a small courtyard.
It was dilapidated, of course. In the yard that was supposed to be a garden, for instance, some herbs and vegetables were grown instead. However, in this weather, the vegetables were already wilting, showing only yellowing, rotten leaves covered by a layer of snow.
It was better than what Ning Shu had imagined, though.
Yi Liang pushed open the door, and it rattled. He walked into the house and put the bamboo basket down.
Ning Shu jumped out of the basket and looked around. The room they were in was empty, furnished only by an old table and two old benches.
However, the room was quite large. Judging by its size, there were probably many decorations in this room.
Could it be that Yi Liang’s family was relatively wealthy in the past?
“Wait. I’ll get you some medicine.” Yi Liang picked up his clothes from the bamboo basket and put them on. He then went to the yard by the door to find herbs.
In no time at all, Yi Liang had pulled out some herbs, found a mashing pot, and crushed the herb with an iron pestle.
He spread the herbs on Ning Shu’s leg and wrapped it with a strip of cloth.
