Jiang Ning stopped and stared at it vigilantly.
There’s something hiding in the fog and was moving from time to time.
Jiang Ning took out a flashlight and shone a strong light.
It was a pair of eyes.
The body was hiding behind the rock, with only half of the head exposed, and the ears seemed to move.
Jiang Ning moved the flashlight and confirmed that it was a pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes that did not belong to human.
With vigilance, confusion, fatigue, and stubbornness.
She instantly burst into tears and choked up, “Coke?”
The head in the fog moved, and the body trembled and stood out from behind the rock, “Woo… Woo… Woo…”
It walked at first, then ran, and stumbled into Jiang Ning’s arms.
It was very thin, so thin that it was just skin and bones, and it felt like its head was going to fall off after shaking a few times.
It was weak and limped, and pus was oozing from several places on its body.
If it weren’t for the familiar eyes, Jiang Ning would not have recognized it even if it stood in front of her.
There was a long cut on its stomach, which was sutured with needle and thread. It had scabbed over, but the stitches had not been removed.
It can be seen how seriously it was injured at the time.
Who else could sew up its wounds except Huo Yishen?
Jiang Ning broke down emotionally, hugged the dog, and choked up, “Coke, where is Huo Yishen? Tell me, where is he!”
“Woo woo woo…”
The dog threw itself into her arms and cried, without even the strength to struggle.
Its claws were scratched, bleeding, and oozing with pus, and it was unknown what supported it to come here.
It was the fireworks. It had seen the fireworks!
After crying, the dog bit her clothes and dragged her desperately, making a sad whimpering sound in its throat.
It didn’t care about its infected claws that were in great pain, it insisted on leading the way.
Seeing it limping stubbornly and anxiously walking in front, Jiang Ning felt very uncomfortable in her heart and took a few quick steps to carry it on her back, “Tell me, where can I find Huo Yishen?”
After being trained by the trainer for many years, the dog still understood human words and was smart enough to use its claws to point the way.
Go left, go forward.
Carrying the dog on her back, she stuffed hot dumplings into its mouth.
And its favorite legs.
As the dog ate, it rubbed its eyes with its paws, and the mournful sound from its mouth became louder and louder.
Jiang Ning could tell that Huo Yishen was in danger!
She was extremely anxious, and her pace became faster and faster.
At the crossroads, she could not determine the direction for a moment.
The dog jumped down anxiously, and despite the injury on its paw, it stubbornly led the way, walking faster and faster, and even running in the end.
The sandstorm buried the road, and the mudslides and heavy rains redefined the terrain.
The dog walked through the mud and crossed the muddy and dangerous river…
After twists and turns and passing through several dangerous mudslide areas, they spent a full two hours arriving at the entrance of a simple cave.
There were more than ten corpses around the cave, many of which were rotting and stinking, but a few were barely recognizable, with bite marks all over and throats torn open.
They were fresh, and they were done by the dog.
As for the old ones, they were most likely killed by Huo Yishen.
Huo Yishen and Coke were protecting each other.
Standing in front of the cave, Jiang Ning’s heart was in her throat. She didn’t dare to go in, fearing that the result would not be what she wanted.
The dog was anxious. “Woof!”
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, lowered her head, and bent over to crawl in.
The cave was dark, and her exploring hand touched the first aid kit, which was empty.
Going further in, it was so cramped that she couldn’t even lift her head.
It was difficult for a person to crawl in when injured. It was likely that the dog had hidden Huo Yishen.
She crawled in on all fours, biting the clothes and trying to pull them out.
Jiang Ning touched it, a cold hand.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She didn’t dare to pull him, fearing that he might get further injured.
Jiang Ning reached out and touched Huo Yishen’s face, which was only skin and bones. His forehead was very hot, and his body and feet were extremely cold.
At this moment, tears blurred her vision.
She finally found him.
Now was not the time to be sad. Jiang Ning quickly brought both him and Coke into her space.
The darkness disappeared, and the light was a little dazzling.
Only then did she see Huo Yishen clearly. His cold and handsome features had disappeared, leaving only a pale and skinny body.
He was so thin that he was unrecognizable, and his breathing was irregular.
Jiang Ning began to examine his body: his waist was injured, and his leg had a large gash that was already rotting and infested with maggots…
He had multiple injuries but had given the medicine to the dog, stitched it up, and sacrificed his own chance of survival for it.
Obviously, his waist was injured and he couldn’t move, but he still had to deal with those people who desired dog meat.
She couldn’t imagine how he had endured these past few days.
Jiang Ning fed him some glucose water, administered medicine and injections, took out the medicine box, and began to clean the wound on his thigh.
After anesthesia, she carefully cut out the rotten flesh, cleaned the wound, and sutured it.
She might not feel anything when cutting off someone else’s flesh, but since the patient was Huo Yishen, who was infected and in danger of death at any time, Jiang Ning’s hand holding the scalpel was shaking.
It had been more than ten days, and this was already a miracle.
Had it been someone else, they might have already died.
He might have been waiting to hand the dog to her personally.
Her eyes were stinging, and Jiang Ning took a deep breath desperately.
After treating the external injuries, she began to check his horrible back.
The dog kept groaning outside the door, and the sound was also extremely complicated, as if it were both blaming itself and feeling guilty.
It took Jiang Ning several hours to clean up his injuries all over his body. The fever went down and came back again, and at the most critical moment, his heartbeat was out of control.
She quickly performed first aid and injected adrenaline.
When injecting, Jiang Ning’s heart struggled violently.
She was not a professional doctor. Although she had learned a lot from Professor Li and Ma Guangnian, she studied Chinese medicine.
But she knew that without the injection, Huo Yishen wouldn’t survive.
The heart stimulant was her only option.
“Huo Yishen, you have to hold on. You have a wife, a sister, and Coke. You can’t abandon us!”
She held his hand tightly and shouted over and over again.
The dog broke the door and ran in, circling anxiously beside the bed.
Jiang Ning stayed with him and mumbled endlessly.
She didn’t even know what she was saying, and it felt like she had spoken away her whole life.
Perhaps it wasn’t his time; his heartbeat gradually stabilized.
She continued to feed him glucose and a small bowl of porridge…
His life might be in danger at any time. Jiang Ning stayed with him all the time. When she was sleepy, she lay down beside him and took a nap. When she was awake, she talked in his ear.
She set the alarm clock and fed him medicine and soup on time.
Jiang Ning watched Huo Yishen, and the dog watched the poop scooper.
Seeing her in daze, it stretched out its injured paw to her. Jiang Ning blamed herself and felt guilty, and hurriedly treated the dog’s wound.
After treating the two paws, she fed a few medicines and removed the sutures from his stomach.
Used to fighting, the dog wasn’t afraid of pain; its bright eyes looked back and forth between Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning stroked its head. “Coke, thank you for always protecting him.”
Seeing that the trainer was still unconscious, the dog emitted a mournful sound and stayed with the poop scooper.
Jiang Ning felt sorry for the suffering it had endured during this period and gently stroked its head. “Go to sleep peacefully. It’s my turn to protect you this time.”
The dog understood her words and closed its eyes to rest.
In the second half of the night, Huo Yishen’s condition finally stabilized, and the dog didn’t have a fever. Jiang Ning closed her heavy eyelids.
She didn’t know how long she had slept when she was pushed awake in a daze.
“Woof!”
The dog pushed her, its voice urgent, and its tail shaking desperately.

Please bear with me if I didn’t update right away 😅. I was either buried in work 💼… or buried in rereading the book 📖. (P.S. Most of the time I’m rereading it 🤭—so you know just how good the story is! 🌟)
