At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan’s courtyard was full of traces of fighting and bloodstains.
The sky still drizzled, and under the wash of rainwater, the blood was diluted and spread everywhere, a shocking sight.
Zhang Xiaoshan was completely panicked.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
He yelled frantically like a madman.
"Little Shan, I’m here."
Yu Xiuxiu, with her hair disheveled, peeked out from the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife, her expression tense and panicked, her body also covered in large patches of blood.
"Sister-in-law, you, how are you, where are you injured?"
Zhang Xiaoshan hurried over and grabbed Yu Xiuxiu’s arm, examining her up and down.
Yu Xiuxiu quickly explained.
"No, this blood isn’t mine, I’m fine, you better check on Little White, Little White might not make it." Read full story at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
As she spoke, she dragged Zhang Xiaoshan into the kitchen.
On the kitchen floor, Shen Xinhe curled up, cradling the little white tiger in her arms.
The little white tiger’s size had already reached that of an ordinary adult domestic dog, its claws sharp. Yet now, it was bleeding profusely, gasping for breath in Shen Xinhe’s arms.
When it saw Zhang Xiaoshan, the little tiger struggled to whimper twice.
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly rushed over to check.
There was an arm-thick hole in the little tiger’s belly, going straight through to its back.
"How could this happen?" Zhang Xiaoshan frowned deeply.
Yu Xiuxiu, trembling, explained.
"It was, it was that red giant python we encountered on the back hill last time. It burst into the yard, trying to attack me, thankfully Little White saved me and even drove the python away, but it was still stabbed in the belly by the python’s sharp horn, oh, oh, Little Shan, you must save Little White, oh, oh..."
Yu Xiuxiu squatted down and started crying.
Ever since she brought the little white tiger from the back hill, Yu Xiuxiu had cared for it as if it were her own child, to say their relationship was like that of mother and son was not an exaggeration.
Now the little tiger’s life hung by a thread, naturally, Yu Xiuxiu was extremely anxious.
Zhang Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and said.
"It’s all my fault for being careless last time, letting that beast escape, leading to today’s disaster, sister-in-law, don’t worry, I will save Little White."
Little White continuously whimpered, its body also trembling severely, clearly in extreme pain, its life approaching its final moments.
The injury was severe, life hanging by a thread.
"Wait for me a moment."
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly ran back to his room and brought the emergency supplies for external injuries.
He quickly administered first aid to the little tiger’s wounds, helping to stop the bleeding.
He also injected a stream of True Qi into the little tiger, helping to shield its meridians.
Several minutes later, Zhang Xiaoshan, sweating profusely, released the little tiger and sat down on the floor with a thump.
"Little Shan, what’s wrong with you?"
Yu Xiuxiu and Shen Xinhe both looked worried.
Zhang Xiaoshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head.
"I’m fine, just tired, I’ll recover after a rest."
"And the little tiger, how is it now?"
"The bleeding has stopped, and the heart meridian is shielded; there shouldn’t be any problems for the time being."
"Sister-in-law, take this and grind it into a medicinal soup for Little White to take; Little White won’t have any major problems then."
Zhang Xiaoshan took out a third of the Red Blood Ganoderma.
"This is the Divine Medicine for replenishing qi and blood, and healing injuries."
Yu Xiuxiu hurriedly took it.
Although this Red Blood Ganoderma was invaluable, it was nothing compared to the life of the little tiger.
The little tiger, being a unique creature by nature, seemed to sense something and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan gratefully.
Zhang Xiaoshan gently stroked the little tiger’s head, tenderly saying.
"I should be the one thanking you, for protecting my sister-in-law. If anything had happened to her, I would never be at peace in this lifetime."
Yu Xiuxiu, standing by, blushed upon hearing this, and her gaze towards Zhang Xiaoshan changed significantly, the anger from before had disappeared entirely at this moment.
Shen Xinhe, holding the little tiger, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and then at Yu Xiuxiu with a curious gaze.
Could her guess be right?
"All men, take up arms, immediately gather at the village hall."
"The giant python has entered the village, all women and children stay indoors, men gather, hurry, hurry..."
At this moment, Wu Damming’s shout came through the loudspeaker.
"Damn, today I must kill that beast."
Zhang Xiaoshan stood up furiously.
"Little Shan, don’t go," Yu Xiuxiu said, nervously grabbing Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm, her eyes full of worry.
"Sister-in-law, I know you’re worried about me, but this is a big deal for the village, I must go. Besides, that beast holds grudges. It failed to attack you this time, but it will surely try again. We can never live in peace unless we kill it."
"Little Hu, wait for me, I’ll kill that beast for you and your mom."
"Sister-in-law, Shen Xinhe, you two stay at home and take good care of the little white tiger until I return."
After saying this, Zhang Xiaoshan stormed out, marching furiously.
