This was the first time Yun Zheng had ever seen someone dare to fight a wild wolf one-on-one, and with such ruthless skill, every move hitting a fatal point. The black wolf was killed by Huo Beiyu in just a few rounds.
After dealing with the black wolf, Huo Beiyu dropped his blood-stained woodcutter’s knife and turned to Yun Zheng. In the darkness, the man’s dark eyes were like a deep pool under the moonlight, unfathomable, as if harboring a lurking beast.
Yun Zheng subconsciously took a few steps back. This man was even more ruthless than the black wolf; his previous harmlessness was all an act.
Huo Beiyu’s deep eyes narrowed upon seeing this. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and when he looked up again, his dark eyes held a gentle spring breeze, devoid of any artifice. He stood before her, holding out the intact ginseng in his palm.
“Here you go.”
The man’s magnetic, husky voice softened, his tone clearly pleading, like a child who had found a treasure and longed for praise.
Yun Zheng’s eyes lit up, and she quickly took the ginseng to examine it. Thankfully, it wasn’t damaged; even the roots were intact. Thinking that if it weren’t for Huo Beiyu, the ginseng would have ended up in the mouths of wolves, she gave a sincere smile.
“Um, thank you for helping me. This ginseng is very valuable. I’ll sell it, and we’ll split it in half.”
Huo Beiyu stared intently at Yun Zheng’s face, his dark, thick eyes shifting slightly. “I said, you saved me, so I’m yours, and what’s mine is yours.”
“…”
Yun Zheng was almost dizzy from his words. Hearing this, she said seriously, “That’s not how it works. Even brothers have to keep clear accounts. If you hadn’t appeared in time, this ginseng would definitely be gone. So it’s yours. Besides, you saved me this time, so we’re even.”
Yun Zheng knew this man was stubbornly insisting that she had saved him that day, and she didn’t want to argue anymore, so she simply accepted it. Now she could sever ties, hehe.
Huo Beiyu simply stared quietly at her face, without saying a word.
“By the way, what are you doing here?” And how did you happen to appear and help mw? A ripple flashed in Yun Zheng’s clear eyes. “You weren’t following me, were you?”
Huo Beiyu’s dark eyes flickered, then he suddenly showed a pained expression and slumped to the ground, startling Yun Zheng, who quickly grabbed his arm. “What happened to you?”
Huo Beiyu readily opened his shirt, revealing a bloody wound on his firm abdomen, clearly from fighting with wolves.
“You’re injured? Why didn’t you say so!” Since it was because of her, Yun Zheng frowned, instinctively asking, “Does it hurt?”
“It hurts, it hurts a lot.” Huo Beiyu silently glanced at Yun Zheng’s hand pressed against his arm. The girl’s hand was soft, like silk. He wanted to hold it in his hands, but he restrained himself, a pitiful pleading look on his handsome face. “I need you to hug me to feel better.”
“…” Yun Zheng. Hug you my foot! In this situation, only medicine could help. Even if she hugged him to death, it wouldn’t make him better!
Fortunately, she had brought a basket on her back to avoid attracting attention when she went up the mountain. She pretended to reach inside and took out some medicinal herbs, a dagger, and a package of gauze, then said to him, “Let me treat you. It might hurt a little, but bear with it.”
Huo Beiyu glanced at his arm with a hint of disappointment, but still obediently nodded, looking completely submissive.
At this moment, he was like a little puppy, completely different from the ferocious man he had been when fighting the wolves. Yun Zheng even found him somewhat adorable.
