Ch24 - Someone in My House

“What should I do?” Mu Yan’s eyes were red with anxiety.

He wanted to run back to the village to find someone to help him, but the forest itself was quite dangerous. Leaving the injured man alone in the forest was too risky because the smell of blood would attract wild beasts. If he left the man, what he saw later might be a pile of bones. 

Moreover, his food ingredient exploration today was the furthest he had ever gone. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth, and perhaps the man couldn’t hold on until that time.

Mu Yan pursed his lips tightly, his little face was full of determination. He looked around to find two thick branches and some soft vines, weaved them back and forth between the two branches, and quickly made a simple stretcher. He then spread a layer of soft hay over the stretcher.

After doing this, Mu Yan laboriously dragged the injured man to the stretcher, tied two sturdy vines to one end of the stretcher, put the vines over his shoulder, and used all his strength to drag the stretcher forward.

Mu Yan had done a lot of rough and heavy work around the house, but he’d never pulled someone nearly twice his weight before.Every step was extremely difficult, and the sweat kept condensing into beads and running down his forehead, slipping to his chin.

The shoulders that were tightly restrained by the vines were even more painful, and the skin was probably already blistered, but Mu Yan did not give up, not even a cry of bitterness. He kept his attention on the road and preserved it.

When unable to walk, Mu Yan would stop and rest for a while, check the wound of the injured man, feed him a little water, and then continue to pull the stretcher.

Later, Mu Yan felt that his shoulders had become numb, and his legs were more like others’ than his own, moving forward mechanically.

The way back took almost twice as long as it took him to come, and it was already late at night when he returned to the village. If it wasn’t for the injured man who was still breathing, he would have been unable to hold on.

Mu Yan was afraid of the dark, but at the moment he only had the thought of “saving this person,”  and even the darkness was completely ignored.

005 followed Mu Yan quietly all the way, not chattering to make trouble.

When passing by the door of his house, Mu Yan put down the stretcher, then staggered to the next house, knocking on Aunt Lin’s door.

If it were normal, he would not come to disturb others late at night, but now the situation was urgent. Apart from Lin Jiayu and Yang Wenyao, he couldn’t think of anyone else to help, and the injury to the man couldn’t be delayed. 

Fortunately, Yang Wenyao and Lin Jiayu didn’t blame Mu Yan for disturbing their sleep, but when they saw Mu Yan in a mess, they were instantly worried.

“What’s wrong, Yanyan? Are you injured?” Lin Jiayu asked in surprise and worry when she saw Mu Yan’s clothes were stained with blood, and even bleeding on his shoulders.

“Aunt Lin, Uncle Yang, I’m fine, but my house… There is someone injured in my house…” Mu Yan said it in a hurry, hoping that Uncle Yang and Aunt Lin could help him.

He felt weak and tired; his body couldn’t hold anymore. He was able to come to Uncle Yang’s house because of his perseverance; otherwise, he would have passed out. 

Yang Wenyao didn’t ask any specific questions. Seeing that Mu Yan was so anxious, he immediately supported Mu Yan and told Lin Jiayu to take care of the children at home. He went over to see what happened.

On the way, Mu Yan briefly told Yang Wenyao what he encountered in the forest. After returning to his home, Mu Yan couldn’t hold on anymore and fell. His legs were shaking uncontrollably.

Yang Wenyao knew the general process of the matter. After seeing the wound on the injured man, he first carried Mu Yan to the bed in his room, and then dragged the injured man in. Then he rushed to find a doctor to treat them both.
