Chapter 826: Showing Gratitude

doctor and nurses rushed over immediately to provide first aid. However, the man who had been standing outside stopped the lead doctor:"Doctor Wang, please don't go in right now, someone is performin...The ripples spread open the folding fan, covering it over his own head, and said to his own attendant:

"If you're not afraid of being struck by lightning, then hide under a tree."

"Huh Where's the thunder"

Before An He could even finish speaking, a bolt of lightning struck the tree she was about to walk past. The tree instantly turned black and charred, but thankfully the rain put out the flames before it could catch fire.

"Little Miss!"

An He was also frightened, and Cui Hua on the side was also startled, immediately protecting Lian Yi by her side.

"Stop yelling, go to an open place and wait."

The ripples dragged the startled boy to a stream at the edge of Liangshan Mountain. This stream originated somewhere within the inner perimeter of Liangshan, though no one knew for sure. However, it was this very stream that sustained all the plants and animals in the forest.

An He was still shaken, and suddenly cried out loudly:

"Miss, what is that Isn't it a person"

The raindrops were now falling quite heavily. Ripples used her fan to shield herself from the rain and looked in the direction An He had pointed. She really did see someone, but it seemed like the other person was unconscious and drifting along the stream towards them.

"I'm going to take a look."

Liàn Yī immediately quickened her pace toward the edge of the stream and jumped onto a protruding rock in the middle, just large enough for one person to stand on. She then twirled her wrist, shooting out the Death Silk which wrapped around the other person. With a slight tug, she pulled them up, completely preventing Cuíhuā from intervening.

After seeing the other person's face, Lian'er was also a little surprised:

"What a coincidence!"

"Miss, come back quickly! The stream has risen, don't drown yourself!"

An He said anxiously.

"Don't worry, your young mistress knows her limits."

Ripple discovered that the other person was injured and immediately carried them onto her shoulders, jumping back to the edge of the stream. At this moment, the rain in the sky also stopped instantly.

Cuiflower glanced at the sky, took two steps, then stopped, unsure whether she should lend a hand. After all, the other person was a young man.

"An He, you light the fire again, make the fire bigger."

Yes, Miss.

The ripples finally let the person on their back down. The other person was still breathing, with claw marks on their arms and thighs, clearly injured by wild beasts in the mountains.

With a ripping sound, the ripples tore open the other person's injured spot, revealing the bulging muscles on their arm and powerful thighs.

"She looks great!"

Ripple took the opportunity to press down with her hand, mainly to see if the blood flowing out had changed color. However, she startled both An He and Cui Hua standing nearby.

"Miss!!!"

"Don't shout, I'm not deaf."

Ripple waved his hand, from An He's tone, she seemed to have done something that angered heaven and man.

I'll check his wound, you hurry and boil some water, I need to clean it.

Cuiflower, take out your gold wound medicine for me.

Ripples commanded directly.

They looked at each other again, and then they started to move.

Ripple tossed her handkerchief into the pot of boiling water and then used the hot water to clean Wen Xiaoge's wound. She sprinkled gold ointment on the wound and bandaged it with a clean cloth strip.

After some time had passed, Wen Zhaoming also woke up. He looked dazed for a moment before turning his gaze to the woman tending to his wounds. He immediately sat up, letting out a hiss of pain.

"Are you awake"

Ripples immediately asked.

"Was it you who saved me"

Wen Zhao Ming asked in a low voice.

"Well, I fished you out of the creek. How did you end up in the stream And your injuries look pretty bad. How did you get hurt"

Ripple asked directly.

“My house doesn't have space to store anything, so I went up the mountain to hunt during harvest season. As a result, I encountered a brown bear and couldn't dodge it in time, getting injured. To escape, I jumped into the stream, and after that, I don't remember anything. I must have fainted.”

Wen Zhaoming only noticed after he finished speaking that his wounds had all been bandaged. Only, the clothing on his injured areas was torn apart, and his face instantly paled. The next moment, he was covered by a robe.

"Given your current situation, it's not advisable to go down the mountain right now. It wouldn't be good if anyone saw you. Wait a little while, I'll have someone bring you some clean clothes."

Ripple spoke.

"Thank you, Ms. Wen."

Wen Zhaoming pursed his lips and said.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be so brave, daring to go into the mountains. Where is your sister"

Ripple shifted the topic.

"My little sister is alone at home. I need to go back as soon as possible."

"I understand."

Both An He and Cui Hua pretended to be very busy, but they were both listening intently to the conversation.

At that moment, the lotus flower who had just come back from scouting arrived. She was carrying a brown wild rabbit in her hand. Seeing an extra person, and especially a young man, she frowned.

"Lotus, you're back just in time. Go to Mr. Wen's place and fetch two dry sets of clothes. Don't let anyone see."

The ripples immediately passed the problem to her own guard.

The lotus looked somewhat displeased, but still asked Wen Zhaoming's residence before hurrying down the mountain.

"An He, boil some ginger soup, one bowl for each person. It's no good if it gets cold."

Yes, Miss.

All An He could do was resign herself and start stewing ginger soup.

Don't worry, she's very skilled.

The ripples soothed the other person, and then he continued:

"Did you return my silver, the one earned from hunting"

"I set a trap on the mountain. After some time, I'll go up and see if there are any catches. If I have any, I'll take them to the county town to exchange for money. Before winter sets in, I want to catch some big game and save up some silver to get through the winter."

Wen Zhaoming spoke truthfully.

"After you return the silver to me, you won't have any money left in your hands, will you"

Ripples furrowed her brow and asked.

This time, Wen Zhao Ming didn't answer. However, Lian Yi saw through him at once and immediately said disapprovingly:

"You're being too honest, I didn't pressure you. Even if you pay back the money, just do what you can. Pay back half a tael or so first. I wouldn't say anything. You could just give it all back to me. How do you and your sister live"

""

This time, Wen Zhaoming did not reply. He had his own persistence too.

"Have a bowl of ginger soup first."

Ripples was helpless, she didn't know what this young man was insisting on. Was he trying to prove that he could support himself and his younger sister

Wen Zhaoming obediently took the bowl of ginger soup and slowly drank it all. He felt warm all over.

An hour later, the lotus returned again, this time carrying a small bag and handing it to Wen Zhaoming.

"I told your sister you should go back a little later so she wouldn't worry."

The lotus spoke.

Thank you.

Wen Zhaoming awkwardly took the small cloth bag and then hid behind a large tree, rustling around as he changed his clothes. He only came out after he was finished.

"Take the rabbit back, or someone will ask you about it and you won't be able to explain."

Ripple generously gave the rabbit brought by the lotus to someone else, and also gave them the golden wound medicine.

"This"

Wen Zhaoming hesitated for a moment and didn't take it.

"Alright, hurry back! Don't worry your sister." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The ripples shoved things into the other person's hand and waved them away to leave quickly.

As soon as Heiqin vanished, Lian'ri turned to the attendant and guard beside her and asked:

Do you think that Xiaoger's impression of me is getting better and betterand exploding instantly, rendering them immobile.The remaining four also each displayed their strengths, mainly using hot weapons. In less than half an hour, they ended the first battle and wiped out...
