Chapter 145: Serious Injury (2)
As she spoke, she hurried forward, feeling the sound getting closer and closer.
Mo Qingze listened carefully for a moment after hearing her words. Indeed, it was the sound of birds being startled. Seeing Mo Yan running ahead quickly, he hurriedly followed.
As he rounded a dense thicket, about to catch up, he witnessed a scene that made his eyes widen in horror: "Yan'er—"
Mo Qingze tightened the shovel in his hand and rushed forward without hesitation, with only one thought in his mind: to protect Yan'er and prevent her from being harmed by the wolf, which was as big as a calf.
Mo Yan, disappointed that it wasn't Little Flower who had come, was about to ask the big wolf if it had seen Xiao Hua, when she was suddenly startled by her father's shout.
She turned to look and saw her father swiftly approaching with a shovel. At that moment, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and the large wolf lunged towards her father...
Mo Yan's eyes widened, and she didn't even know how she acted. When she came to her senses, she had already pushed the wolf aside. All she could think about was that she didn't want her father to be hurt by the wolf.
With this collision, both the man and the wolf deviated from their original direction, and the shovel Mo Qingze held high fell to a point less than an inch away from Mo Yan.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Mo Yan looked at the shovel deeply embedded in the ground, sweat forming on her back, while Mo Qingze, still holding the shovel handle, was petrified with shock.
...
"How much further is it? Is Xiao Hua badly injured?"
Mo Yan anxiously asked the wolf walking beside her, forgetting that humans and wolves didn't share a common language. Even if the wolf told her, she wouldn't understand.
The wolf glanced at her and let out a low growl.
Mo Yan: "..."
She sighed silently. In fact, there was no need to ask. Just by looking at the deep bite marks and scratches on the wolf's body, she knew that Xiao Hua, who was not very good at fighting, must be even more seriously injured.
Even though Xiao Hua was useless in a fight, it could effortlessly kill a spotted deer. But this wolf, which was bigger than Xiao Hua, had even stronger combat power. She couldn't imagine what kind of battle they had encountered to be injured like this, and even prevent Xiao Hua from returning home.
Mo Qingze never expected his daughter to know this wolf. Moreover, the wolf showed no hostility towards his daughter, and even thought that Mo Qingze wanted to harm it, which led to the attack.
Initially, he was amazed by Xiao Hua's cleverness and obedience, but after all, it grew up with humans, so it was normal for it to get along well with his daughter. But he couldn't understand why this bigger creature was so friendly to his daughter.
Mo Yan was unaware of her father's inner turmoil and wished she could grow two more legs to move faster.
After about half an hour of walking, the wolf finally slowed down in front of a mountain wall. It cautiously sniffed around to make sure there were no traces of other wild animals before leading Mo Yan and her father into a cave.
The cave had a long passage. It was not high and quite narrow. Mo Yan had to lower her head and squeeze her body to continue forward. Mo Qingze, being big in size, couldn't enter, so he could only instruct Mo Yan and wait outside.
With the wolf leading the way, Mo Yan followed for less than a moment before reaching a very spacious place. This place was about two hundred square meters in size, with a cliff on the left side. The sunlight shining in from outside made it bright, and this was the wolf's old den.
"Xiao Hua—"
Mo Yan saw the bundle of white fur lying on a pile of dry grass and hurried over, only to find Xiao Hua motionless, as if dead.
At this moment, Xiao Huar's body was curled up, its once big and bright eyes tightly closed. Its silver and soft fur was tangled, and its body was covered with deep wounds, with not a single patch of intact skin.
Mo Yan tremblingly touched Xiao Hua's head with her right hand. The warmth of its touch proved that Little Flower was still alive. However, the heat radiating from Xiao Hua's body was abnormal, carrying a hint of burning sensation. Looking at its dry nose, everything indicated that it was running a fever!
Mo Yan sat down on the ground, carefully placing Xiao Hua's head on her lap, and took out a ladle of spirit spring water from her space, feeding it to Xiao Hua.
Perhaps smelling the familiar scent, Xiao Hua's eyelids twitched, and it let out a weak whimper.
Mo Yan had been watching it closely. When it showed signs of movement, she rejoiced and quickly called its name.
Encouraged by Mo Yan, Xiao Hua slowly opened its eyes. Its originally dull eyes brightened instantly when it saw Mo Yan.
It laboriously rubbed its big head against Mo Yan, regaining some sense of smell, and easily smelled the scent of the spirit spring water, eagerly shaking its head in an attempt to drink.
Mo Yan quickly brought the ladle to its mouth and carefully fed it. Xiao Hua drank all the spirit spring water in one gulp, emitting a faint whimper. Its gaze towards Mo Yan was extremely gentle, with a hint of affection that wasn't there before.
This scene was witnessed completely by the other wolf. It gazed at Mo Yan, and a complex light flashed in its human-like eyes...
