Chapter 298 Danger (3)
Yan Zuozuo nestled in Chi Moqing's arms. Although she was terrified, she forced herself to remain calm. With Chi Moqing by her side, she believed they would live or die together. With this conviction, she was no longer afraid.
She held Chi Moqing tightly, confident that she could protect him even if someone attacked from behind. Chi Moqing felt a warmth in his heart and smiled at her, "Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Yan Zuozuo smiled gently and said, "It's okay. Even if something happens, I'm willing to stay by your side."
Chi Moqing hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply.
The situation became increasingly dire, and they began to run frantically out of the woods. Chi Moqing protected Yan Zuozuo the whole time, and the moment she fell, he picked her up and ran without even thinking.
When Yan Zuozuo met his resolute and cold face, she swallowed her apology. She couldn't bother him now, so she just hugged him tightly so as not to cause him any trouble.
Chi Moqing was a god-like figure in the military!
Wolf!
No, they're packs of wolves!
A gunfight broke out in the woods; the wolves were attracted by the smell of blood.
There's only one wildlife sanctuary in the entire city of S, located in the south, and it's quite far from the city center. It seems Meng's mother did a lot of work before "inviting" her here.
It must have been quite a journey to get revenge on her. But why take revenge on her in the first place?
Yan Zuozuo frowned. What heinous crime had she committed that made Meng's mother hate her so much?
Her mind was racing, but now wasn't the time to think about that. Suddenly, she saw a row of wolves standing in front of them, each one strong and ferocious. She couldn't help but swallow hard.
Ou Luhan said, "Should we go on a killing spree?"
Chi Moqing lowered his eyes and glanced around. Apart from the low cliff behind him, there were trees all around. Who knew how many wolves and tigers were hiding there? If he made a move now, he would probably attract even more ferocious beasts.
"President Chi, are you scared? We have guns, what are you afraid of?" Stephen puffed out his chest, wanting to play the hero, but when faced with these wolves, he shrank back behind Ou Luhan. Hmm, it's fine to play the hero, but I can't really risk my life.
Chi Moqing glanced at him, then at Ou Luhan, "We can't fight them head-on now, or we'll only alert more beasts." After saying that, he looked at Yan Zuozuo with tenderness in his eyes, "Let's jump down from here, hold me tight."
Yan Zuozuo looked behind her. Below the low cliff was a river. The cliff was about seven or eight meters high, about the height of a two-story building. If she jumped down, would she be crippled?
But the wolf pack drew ever closer, completely surrounding them, howling and howling. Her heart tightened; there was no way out. So she gritted her teeth and nodded forcefully.
Chi Moqing smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Seeing that she was clearly scared, but still trying to hold back, he comforted her softly, "Hold me tight, be a good girl."
Yan Zuozuo hugged her tightly, closed his eyes, and wished he could grow a thousand hands and feet.
Chi Moqing's smile grew even wider, making Ou Luhan and Stephen practically dazzled. Tsk tsk, neither of them has a woman to hug yet; is it really okay for them to flaunt their affection so openly in front of them?
Chi Moqing ignored their envious and jealous looks, glanced down at the low cliff, avoided the sharp rocks, and leaped down.
The wind whistled past her ears, and Yan Zuozuo's heart tightened. She hugged Chi Moqing even tighter. Leaning against him like this, she could feel his steady heartbeat, and felt that there was nothing left to fear.
The moment she landed, she felt a tightness around her, because the rocks beneath her were unbalanced, and Chi Moqing slipped and was about to fall. He flipped over, landing on his back, and tightly protected Yan Zuozuo in his arms.
Whether it was Yan Zuozuo's imagination or not, she instinctively felt Chi Moqing's body tremble, as if he had bumped into something. Before she could figure out what was happening, a rush of water surged towards her, and her body instantly turned icy cold.
Ou Luhan and Stephen jumped down. Ou Luhan was a little better off, but Stephen howled at the wolf pack above, "Come down if you dare! Hehe, you want to eat my meat? Do you think my meat is that delicious? Hmph!"
They walked from the river to the shore. Because it was late autumn, the weather was very cold. Chi Moqing immediately hugged her tightly, "Are you cold?"
Yan Zuozuo was shivering from the cold, but Chi Moqing seemed oblivious, holding her hand and breathing on it to warm it. Yan Zuozuo looked up at him, and that gentle gaze quickly dispelled the chill from her body.
She shook her head: "Not cold." Even though her body was cold, her heart wasn't cold at all; it was warm and cozy.
Chi Moqing smiled faintly, about to say something, when she heard Stephen's wailing voice, "You're bleeding?"
Yan Zuozuo's body stiffened, and sure enough, she saw the bloodstains on Chi Moqing's body. A bloody smell wafted over, and her pupils contracted.
Bright red blood gushed from his back, staining his snow-white clothes crimson!
"Husband!" Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but shed tears, feeling a pang of heartache. She remembered what had happened when they landed; he must have been cut by something. She pressed her hands haphazardly on his body, trying to find the wound.
"Silly girl, I'm fine." He reached out and touched her face. "It's just a scratch on my back, nothing serious, rest... Ugh!" Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zuozuo's hand touched the wound, and a sharp pain shot through her.
Ignoring the presence of others, Yan Zuozuo tore open Chi Moqing's clothes, revealing a large, deep wound. Her tears flowed even more freely; seeing the continuous flow of blood, her heart ached as if being torn apart.
"I'm really fine, don't cry, sweetie." Chi Moqing felt heartbroken seeing her crying so hard. "Wife, don't cry, how about you bandage my wound first?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded repeatedly, and then she saw him take off his shirt, tear it into strips, and hand it to her. She quickly took it and carefully tried to bandage it for him. But then, worried about infection, she spat on his wound a few times and then carefully wiped it clean.
"If you don't have disinfectant, remember, saliva can also disinfect." This sentence was a bit vague, but it suddenly came out now, as if it was something that ten-year-old Chi Moqing told eight-year-old Yan Zuozuo.
Her action startled Chi Moqing, who then smiled broadly.
She smiled shyly, wondering if he would find her rough. She wrung out the water from the cloth strips and carefully bandaged him: "Does it hurt?"
Chi Moqing shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Liar!" Yan Zuozuo said, choking back tears. She tried to hold back her sobs, but she wouldn't let herself cry out loud, worried that Chi Moqing would be heartbroken. If it weren't for protecting her, he wouldn't have gotten hurt; it was all her fault.
She took a deep breath, her trembling little hands tying a knot in front of his chest. The next second, she hugged him tightly.
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "It really doesn't hurt, it's nothing."
How could it not hurt? The blood had stained the cloth strips red. Yan Zuozuo's tears fell in a steady stream, feeling utterly useless.
Stephen and Ou Luhan watched the two of them being all lovey-dovey, feeling a mix of envy and jealousy. They pouted and turned their backs.
After a while, Chi Moqing said, "We need to get out of here quickly, wife, come on, I'll carry you."
"No, I'll walk by myself," Yan Zuozuo immediately objected.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Be good, let me carry you." Chi Moqing stood up, blood still dripping from his body, his lips pale.
Yan Zuozuo refused his outstretched hand, stubbornly saying, "I don't want you to carry me, I'll help you walk." As she spoke, she went to help Chi Moqing, but as soon as she touched his body, he lifted her up into the air.
Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded. How could she do such a smooth movement?
"Hold me tight. You're not allowed to disobey me until we're out of danger, understand?" Chi Moqing said.
Yan Zuozuo's eyes reddened, and she sniffed, saying, "Honey, are you really okay?"
"It's alright, look at your husband, he's perfectly fine."
Yan Zuozuo was still worried, but she didn't dare to struggle too much, for fear of hurting him or touching his wound. The two walked and talked, and Stephen and Ou Luhan felt like two huge third wheels.
Stephen said indignantly, "I've searched my whole life and never met such a good woman. I never thought Chi Moqing would pick her up. Heaven is blind. What do I lack compared to him?"
Ou Luhan rolled her eyes: "You rely on your looks to make a living, how can you compare to him? If you want to talk about the most unfair one, it's me. What do I lack compared to him? Yan Zuozuo actually didn't choose me. I think she's the one who's blind."
"Don't give me that. Chi Moqing is handsome, rich, and devoted. He's much better than you, a playboy. Choosing him is the wise thing to do. You'd be blind to choose him."
"Stop being envious, jealous, and hateful by slandering me here, or I'll tell your wife."
Stephen gave a haughty snort: "You're not without your weaknesses. If Shang Xiaoguo finds out that you still have designs on Yan Zuozuo, let's see if you can still be so haughty."
Ou Luhan gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up if you don't want to die, or I'll abandon you later." After saying that, he strode forward.
Stephen was startled, then immediately started yelling, "No, no, I heard everything, okay? Wait for me..."
Hearing the argument between the two people behind her, Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but smile, her gaze towards Chi Moqing softening even more. She felt she must have saved the universe in her past life to have met such a wonderful man in this one.
Yan Zuozuo held the gun that Chi Moqing had just given her, and heard him say, "When you encounter the enemy, you must not panic. You must stay calm and aim at the enemy before firing..."
With a snap, Yan Zuozuo had already released the safety pin. Chi Moqing was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
Yan Zuozuo chuckled: "I never thought I'd actually get to touch a gun one day. Honey, when we get back, tell me about your time in the army."
Chi Moqing suddenly stiffened. When he was in the army... a bright and beautiful image flashed through his mind...
Although they had left the woods and far behind the wolves, those who had been lying in ambush, wanting to kill them, had not given up. Chi Moqing carried Yan Zuozuo on his back the whole way, while Yan Zuozuo cautiously looked around. Suddenly, she noticed that Chi Moqing was acting strangely and asked worriedly, "Honey, does it hurt a lot? Let's rest for a while."
"It's alright, don't worry." This place isn't safe enough yet, and he can't let his little wife get hurt. They'll reach safety soon if they walk a little further.
However, just as they finished speaking, several people suddenly rushed out, each holding a gun and pointing it directly at them, shouting, "Don't move!"
