Back at the tent, Xiao Wu had already woken up.
Seeing Yin Hao return, Xiao Wu asked with a puzzled look,
"Brother Hao, where did you go..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Wu noticed Zhu Zhuqing in Yin Hao's arms.
Her eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Yin Hao with astonishment.
What's going on? Brother Hao... went to rob a road? And he even kidnapped a woman?
He said he came here on business... Could it be... just to rob a road?
For some reason, seeing Yin Hao holding this woman with two tumors on her forehead made Xiao Wu feel a pang of sadness, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Ouch..."
Xiao Wu covered her forehead, looking at Yin Hao with confusion, not understanding why he hit her.
"What are you thinking about? She's injured, aren't you going to help?"
"Injured?"
Xiao Wu quickly went over and saw that the girl's front was wet. Touching it, she found it was red and sticky—blood…
Seeing this, Xiao Wu stopped thinking and quickly helped Yin Hao put Zhu Zhuqing into the only tent.
Well… it really was the only tent. They'd slept together for so many years, what was wrong with sharing a tent now?
Yin Hao took out a pair of scissors, a white towel, several white cotton balls, and a few bottles of medicine from his storage ring and placed them aside. Then he said to Xiao Wu,
"Go boil some water."
"Okay…"
Xiao Wu nodded quickly.
Yin Hao then gently cut open Zhu Zhuqing's clothes with the scissors, revealing her snow-white skin the instant the clothes were cut open.
(Why not let Xiao Wu do it?
Don't misunderstand, this isn't Yin Hao taking advantage of the situation. In his past life, he loved to court death... cough cough... adventure, and he got injured quite a few times, so he's quite experienced in treating wounds.
But Xiao Wu... besides eating crystal carrots and fighting, her other abilities are basically zero. If she were to treat Zhu Zhuqing's wound, the Shrek Three Sisters would probably become two sisters.)
Yin Hao cut off all of Zhu Zhuqing's clothes from her left shoulder to her chest, revealing a huge wound.
"Don't be offended..."
Yin Hao said softly. Although he liked beautiful women and occasionally used some tricks, he wouldn't take advantage of someone in distress.
After removing the last obstacle covering Zhu Zhuqing's wound, Yin Hao dipped a cotton ball in a bottle of medicine.
Then, he gently wiped both sides of the wound with tweezers, both to prevent infection and to better apply the medicine.
The moment the cotton ball touched the wound, Zhu Zhuqing, who was unconscious, couldn't help but let out a soft "humph." Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she showed no signs of waking up.
Yin Hao didn't stop what he was doing, cleaning the wound, disinfecting it, and applying medicine. Just as Yin Hao was applying the medicine, Xiao Wu came in.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's exposed body, she only paused for a moment, without saying anything, and simply carried hot water to Yin Hao.
"Brother Hao, the hot water is ready."
Yin Hao didn't look up, and said while applying the medicine to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Pour a cup of hot water first, and pour the rest into a basin. Put the white towel next to me in it."
Xiao Wu didn't ask why, and did as Yin Hao instructed.
The two worked for an hour, and finally finished after Yin Hao bandaged Zhu Zhuqing's wound with gauze.
Yin Hao wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing inside the tent, and said,
"Xiao Wu, you can sleep with her in the tent tonight. I'll make do outside..."
"Mmm."
Xiao Wu nodded, not refusing. You could say Xiao Wu has many flaws—a troublemaker, a violent girl, etc.—but you can't deny that she's inherently kind. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing so badly injured, she was willing to stay and watch over her.
...
The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning, Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes and came out of the tent, just in time to see Yin Hao carrying a small wild boar back from the jungle.
Upon seeing the boar, Xiao Wu's foodie instincts were instantly triggered. Her eyes, which had been half-closed, snapped open, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot. Hasn't the girl inside woken up yet?"
Xiao Wu shook her head, indicating no.
"Okay then, I'll go prepare the boar. You go find some firewood; we'll have roasted wild boar."
"Okay."
Hearing about roasted wild boar, Xiao Wu immediately jumped up and down to gather firewood in the forest.
About an hour after Xiao Wu left, Yin Hao, who was setting up the barbecue grill, suddenly sensed someone approaching. Through his Blue Silver Domain, Yin Hao immediately recognized the person: Zhu Zhuqing.
However, her expression was far from pleasant. When she woke up that morning, she discovered her clothes were torn, with both the inner and outer layers of her front missing—not completely, but half gone, clearly cut with scissors.
However, she also noticed the several layers of gauze wrapped around her front, which slightly eased her furrowed brows.
She then found a woman's garment nearby and put it on; it was a bit tight, but it was bearable.
After putting on the clothes, Zhu Zhuqing tried to get up, but the sharp pain in her front made her brows furrow. After several attempts, she finally managed to stand. As soon as she
stepped outside, Zhu Zhuqing saw Yin Hao setting up the grill in the distance and walked over.
To be honest, she was feeling very conflicted. On one hand, she was a very conservative woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk by coming to Tiandou to find her fiancé, whom she had never met, just for a marriage certificate.
The man in front of her, without a doubt, was the one who had cut off her clothes and exposed her body, which was unacceptable to the traditionally minded Zhu Zhuqing.
However, on the other hand, he had done it to save her; given her injuries, she would probably be dead by now if she hadn't received timely treatment.
Therefore, weighing these two factors, Zhu Zhuqing was unsure how to face Yin Hao.
She could only walk blankly to Yin Hao's side, waiting for him to speak first.
Actually, Yin Hao had noticed her as soon as she came out, but he still pretended to have just discovered her.
"Hey? You're awake?"
"Did you take off my clothes?"
For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing felt a slight panic after saying this, but she suppressed it.
Yin Hao "slightly paused," nodded, and said
, "I did, but it was to treat your injuries..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing had already pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Yin Hao.
She had witnessed Yin Hao's fight and knew she was no match for him, but she still drew her dagger, even if it meant Yin Hao would kill her. She accepted it, considering it... repaying him with her life.
