“Silver, did you discover something?” Du Xiao Li crouched down and rubbed Silver’s head as she spoke.

“Awoo—” Silver let go of Du Xiao Li’s trousers and ran forward a bit, turning its head back to see Du Xiao Li following itself, before continuing to run ahead.

“Silver, slow down.” Du Xiao Li’s current body although was quite a bit better than before, she still couldn’t catch up with Silver’s speed. By the time she was out of breath from running, she saw it sitting by the bush.

Because it saw Du Xiao Li, it called out towards her. Du Xiao Li went forward to look, discovering a man dressed in black buried in the bush, and a bundle wrapped in cloth lying nearby. She walked into the bush to carefully look, noticing that he had knife cuts deep and shallow, about ten to twenty some, all over his body. On his body, there was also sc.r.a.pes and abrasions, and also injuries received from falling off a high place.

“Actually didn’t die with such serious injuries?” Du Xiao Li placed her finger under his nose. The person was still faintly breathing.

Du Xiao Li looked to Silver. Although she has been training it to not bite the villagers, to not eat the animals raised by the villagers, and to hunt in the mountains on its own if it wants to eat meat, but she seems to have never to taught it to save someone before?!

“Silver, this person is undoubtedly not simple. If we save him, we might attract disaster.” Du Xiao Li said.

“Awooo—” Silver cried out, unsure if it was letting Du Xiao Li save or not save.

“How about we pretend we didn’t see?” Du Xiao Li continued.

“Awoo—” Silver replied her still with a howl.

“Then it’s decided!” Du Xiao Li clapped her hands, and got up from the ground, preparing to leave.

But just as she took a step, she discovered that her trousers were grabbed by him at some point. She pulled with all her strength, and that person that had his eyes closed the whole time suddenly opened his eyes, startling her, following which he completely fell unconscious.

“Such a contradicting pair of eyes.” Although it was only a short glance, she still saw his eyes clearly. Killing intent floated in his eyes, probably having killed quite a few people before, but with a careful look, they were very clean. This kind of contradicting eyes drew even herself in.

Looking to his hand that tightly grabbed onto her trousers, she sighed, saying: “Being discovered by Silver can also be considered your fortune. Thus, I’ll save you for once. But I also can’t cause trouble for myself. Silver, you go hunt a wild animal and bring it over.”

Silver seemingly understood Du Xiao Li’s words and ran off.

Du Xiao Li placed her back-basket to the side, took out the dagger in her bag, and had the person’s outer clothes stripped, throwing it to the side. Seeing his inner clothes made from top-quality satin inside, she thought, ‘This person must be very wealthy and n.o.ble too.’

“Tsk tsk, don’t know if there’s money in the baggage.” Du Xiao Li sighed, and easily stripped him naked, only leaving behind a pair of underpants. Seeing the wounds on his body, she couldn’t help furrowing her brows.

These wounds were beginning to rot. If not removed, he can very easily die. Furthermore, there were two cuts that were very strange. She could tell at a glance that they weren’t caused by ordinary weapons.

“You really are troublesome.” Du Xiao Li looked to his wounds and said, “I’ll try my best, but whether or not I can save you, I don’t know either!”

She took out her silver needles and stabbed them into several of his acupuncture points. Very soon, his bleeding stopped. Soon after, she took out a few more needles, and temporarily suppressed his pain-sensing nerves. Afterwards, she began using her dagger to slice off the rotted flesh on his body. When she got to those two special cuts, her hand paused for a moment, and her gaze slightly darkened.

By the time she finished, Silver had returned with a deer in its mouth. She quickly had the deer cut, spraying the blood everywhere. Afterwards, she sliced some meat off, and placed it together with the flesh she’d just sliced off from that person.

“Silver, bite here.” Du Xiao Li placed the flesh cut from that special wound just now next to Silver’s mouth.

Silver obediently bit some flesh off, and the smooth dagger cut thus became markings caused by a wild animal’s teeth.

“Silver, tear these clothes to shreds.” Du Xiao Li tore some of the clothes off, and threw it to Silver to tear. Afterwards, she had the remaining clothes placed into her basket.

After Silver finished tearing, Du Xiao Li had those messy clothes sc.r.a.ps thrown on the ground, and then had those rotten flesh also thrown together with the torn clothes, making this place into a ‘eaten by a wild animal’ scene as much as possible.

Soon after, she opened the bundle, seeing that there’s a flute, two books, a few change of clothes, and several thousand taels of silver inside. In addition, there was also a plaque. On one side of the plaque carved a complicated pattern, and on the other side, carved the character ‘qi’.

“Sure is rich as h.e.l.l!” Du Xiao Li glanced at that person. She then had the book and flute, and also more than half of the silver, placed into her basket. Afterwards, she had that plaque, the clothes, and also the remaining money wrapped up according to how that bundle was wrapped up just now, and thrown into the nearby bush.

When she finished these things, she removed her silver needles from that person’s body, and dragged him onto the ground outside of the bush. Looking at her own handiwork, she said to Silver, “Silver, go and jump of few times in the bush.”

Silver ran inside and jumped a few times, and even rolled a few times too.

Du Xiao Li looked again, discovering that her footprints got covered up by Silver’s markings. She finally let out a breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Then, she took out a silver needle and slowly inserted it into his acupuncture point, using her thumb and index finger to slowly twirl it.

Following the insertion, that person slowly opened his eyes.

“Don’t talk, if you talk, you’ll die.” Du Xiao Li saw that his lips moved, like he wanted to speak, and hurriedly stopped him.

That person saw how he was naked, with holes all over his body, and his eyes filled with confusion.

Du Xiao Li saw the holes on his body, and unnaturally coughed once. In order to be able to let this place look like he’d gotten eaten by a wild animal, when she was later carving out the rotting flesh, she’d sliced off quite a lot. Originally, it was just knife cuts, but now it all became holes.

“First come home with me.” Du Xiao Li said, “Your injuries need to be properly treated. Can you stand up right now?”

Du Xiao Li used her silver needles to raise his body’s potential to the highest, lasting till they return shouldn’t be a problem.

That person stood up and stared at Du Xiao Li.

“We need to walk pretty far, hopefully you can last till we get back.” Du Xiao Li picked up her basket and started heading back.

She let that person walk in front, while she herself stayed behind, using the dirt to cover up the bloodstains he left behind, all the way till they returned home.

“Phew….” Returning to her own courtyard, Du Xiao Li let out a long breath. This breath hadn’t even finished, when that person in front started tottering. She hastily went forward to support him, and lead him to Du Xiu Heng’s bed, following which he fainted again.

“Such a strong will to live.” Du Xiao Li thought of how he really walked back from the mountains, only collapsing when they finally returned home. She couldn’t help sighing.

She went out and had the bloodstains in the courtyard taken care of, before carrying a jar of wine over to the bedside. Afterwards, she used water to clean the dried bloodstains from his body.

“Unexpectedly, he’s also quite handsome.” Du Xiao Li looked to the cleaned face and said. The man looked about sixteen seventeen, with skin white as snow, and painted brows. At the moment, even the man’s underpants were gone, if Du Xiu Heng were to find out, he would certainly scold her.

“So tired.” After taking care of all the wounds on the man’s body, Du Xiao Li sat down on the bed.

After she wiped clean his entire body using water, she then used alcohol to wipe his wounds. Afterwards, she took some gauze and wrapped his entire body into a gluttonous rice wrap. Seeing his current look, she suddenly laughed, “Luckily, right now still isn’t the hottest period, else don’t know how this wound will be taken care of.”

After resting, Du Xiao Li went to go prepare his medicine. She fed him the medicine, and also took his pulse, sensing that although his pulse was very weak, it was already steady. She finally relaxed.

Meanwhile, two men in black arrived at the place where Du Xiao Li discovered that man. After searching the surrounding, they left carrying the bundle they discovered.

T/N: Please excuse the grammar in this chapter I finished it around 4AM; my mental ability to form words at this time is not ideal. I will reread through again in the morning. Tbh I feel like half the things written in this chapter is excessive. The amount of ‘after’ and ‘afterwards’ the author used in this chapter is about to drive me crazy.
