“Shanbai Village?”
“That’s right, you haven’t answered me yet. Are you a soldier? The kind that’s portrayed on television? Protecting the country!”
The little girl did not know the true meaning of these four words, but she knew that these people were the best.
The young man didn’t answer. “Have you lived here since you were young? Where’s your mother? Is she also from here?”
“I don’t have a mother, I only have a father and grandpa!”
Xie Chaochao didn’t feel the slightest bit of sadness. She lifted her hand and touched the traces of blood on his face, asking, “Big Brother, don’t you feel pain?”
The young man was stunned for a moment before smiling. “It doesn’t hurt!”
The girl before him had a pair of pure eyes that made him unable to raise his guard.
“What happened to you? Did you encounter a big black bear?”
Xie Chaochao remembered that a huge black bear had appeared on the mountain and injured someone.
The young man nodded. “Yes, I hid from the big black bear all the way here!”
“I had previously rescued my grandpa in the mountains before. Then, Grandpa came home with me. Why don’t you come home with me too!”
Xie Chaochao’s thoughts were very simple. Thanks to this set of clothes, she had a good impression of the young man and wanted to bring him back to recuperate.
The young man smiled again. Did this little girl bring everyone home?
“I still have things to do later, so I can’t stay here for too long. I’ll just rest on the mountain for a few days. I won’t go back with you!”
His identity was special. If he went back with the little girl, he might cause trouble for them.
Xie Chaochao looked worried. “But your wounds need to be bandaged!”
“Little girl, do you have alcohol in your house?”
“Yes, why?”
“Can you bring some over for me? I need it to treat my wounds! That way, I can recover quickly!”
Xie Chaochao widened her eyes in confusion. “Can alcohol cure your injuries?”
“It can!”
The young man smiled and said, “I’ll wait for you here. Go quickly and come back quickly. Don’t tell your family about me. Otherwise, they might not let you come out!”
The young man didn’t want to complicate matters and could only coax the little girl.
“Alright, Big Brother, wait a moment. I’ll go back and get it for you now!”
Xie Chaochao then said to the tiger, “Xiao Hu, stay here and protect Big Brother. If the big black bear comes, help Big Brother chase it away!”
Looking at the little girl running away, the young man smiled and shook his head.
Then, he frowned and gasped.
His injuries were severe. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fainted.
Fortunately, the little girl was young and did not know that it was a knife wound.
There were several wounds on his back. The one on his face was nothing.
If he had not rolled down the slope, he might not have survived at all.
He never thought that there would be a traitor in the team.
Thinking of this, there was a cold glint in his eyes.
He wanted to bring this news back as soon as possible.
But now, the most important thing was to recuperate.
Otherwise, going back would be a problem.
Then, he thought of the little girl he met.
A beautiful woman’s face flashed before his eyes, slowly overlapping with Xie Chaochao’s face.
The two of them looked almost the same. They would probably look even more similar when Xie Chaochao is older.
What was going on?
He recalled that the woman’s child was already dead!
…
Xie Chaochao went home and took a bottle of alcohol as if she was a thief. She even found some bandages and sneaked up the mountain again.
“Big Brother, is this it?”
The young man took it. “Yes, this is it. Thank you, Chaochao!”
“Big Brother, what’s your name? I’ve already told you my name!”
Xie Chaochao felt that this was somewhat unfair.
The young man smiled. “My name is Gu Pei!”
“Brother Gu Pei!”
Xie Chaochao smiled and shouted. Then, she looked at the alcohol in his hand and asked, “Do you pour it directly on the wound? Will it hurt a lot?”
She had used bandaids when she had a wound on her hand. She had never used this before. She did not know what it felt like.
“It doesn’t hurt! But I need Chaochao to help me. The wounds are on my back, and I can’t reach it myself!”
Gu Pei sat up straight and let Xie Chaochao to look at his back.
Xie Chaochao was shocked when she saw the blood on his back.
She didn’t notice it just now and only thought that there were injuries on his face and stomach. It turned out that the injuries on his back were more severe and he had lost a lot of blood.
“Brother Gu Pei, I’ll bring you to the mother tiger’s cave. Once your wound is bandaged, you can rest inside. You don’t have to move positions anymore!”
“Alright!”
Gu Pei didn’t reject her. With his current state, he really needed to find a place to stay.
Xie Chaochao held his arm, but she was too weak. Gu Pei was still the one supporting himself as they walked towards the cave.
After taking a few steps, Gu Pei’s wounds opened up and started to bleed again.
Xie Chaochao was very worried. “Brother Gu Pei, let Xiao Hu carry you. Xiao Hu is very strong!”
Although Gu Pei wasn’t afraid of tigers, he had never thought that there would come a day where he could ride one.
However, his body couldn’t take it anymore. Eventually, he had to sit on the tiger.
