Chapter 20 Sprained Ankle
Chapter 20 Sprained Foot
"This wolf is quite big. It looks like he can have a full meal tonight, haha."
The man shook the prey in his hand and grinned happily. He saw Chu Yingying and Cui Yunhao looking very frightened and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this guy is already dead."
After hearing what he said, Chu Yingying calmed down a little, but she still didn't dare to look at the dead wolf. She only said: "Uncle Ga, your family has a large population. Killing one wolf should be enough to eat."
How many days has it been?"
"In my family, it's just me, my wife, and a daughter, who is about the same age as you. She often goes hunting with me in the mountains on weekdays. She had a stomachache today, so I didn't let her come."
The man paused for a moment, glanced at the blood on the ground, and then said to Chu Yingying: "Little girl, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. I advise you to leave here quickly. If this wolf blood attracts wild beasts in the forest later,
I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape even if I want to.”
"Ah, then we have to leave quickly!" Chu Yingying was shocked when she heard this and stood up quickly, "Oh, wait a minute."
She had just taken half a step when she screamed in pain and leaned to one side. Cui Yunhao quickly helped her with his eyes and hands.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Cui Yunhao asked with worry on his face.
"I, my foot seems to have sprained. It hurts so much!" Chu Yingying grimaced in pain and wrinkled her facial features.
"Help her sit down first." The man placed the dead wolf on the rock aside and ordered.
Cui Yunhao did as he was told.
"Little girl, your feet are a little swollen. You may need to apply a compress."
The man squatted down and looked at Chu Yingying's right ankle, then looked at Cui Yunhao and asked, "Are you her brother?"
"Yeah, yes!" Cui Yunhao nodded without thinking.
The man thought for a while and said, "There is a doctor named Mou in our village. How about I take you back to Lao Mou to help treat your sister's injury. It's just that your sister can't walk, so she needs someone to carry her."
After hearing this, Cui Yunhao immediately bent down, patted his back, and said firmly: "Let me carry my sister!"
"Young Master, can you bear it?"
Seeing that he was as thin as a stick, the man might not be able to carry it, so he took off his bow bag and quiver, squatted down, and said, "Well, let me carry it. Young Master, help your sister climb up quickly."
"
Cui Yunhao was self-aware of his body. After listening to the man's words, he knew that he really couldn't carry Chu Yingying. Even if he could barely carry her, he might not be able to walk down the mountain until dark.
So, he obeyed the man's instructions and helped Chu Yingying climb up the man's broad back.
Chu Yingying hooked his neck with both hands. Although her mouth was tightly pursed in pain, she still tried to say a word of gratitude between her teeth: "Thank you, Uncle Ga, for causing you trouble."
"Haha, it's okay. Little girl, please be patient. It's still a long way from here to our Wuliu Village. I'll try to walk as fast as possible."
The man stood up slowly, gently held her right leg with his right hand, lifted the dead wolf on the rock with his left hand, shook it, and strode forward effortlessly.
Cui Yunhao followed behind, helping the man get the arrow pot and bow bag, while holding Chu Yingying's arm, and kept telling some jokes to make her happy along the way to ease her pain at this time.
The man carried Chu Yingying on his back and walked for nearly two quarters of an hour before arriving at Wuliu Village.
