Chapter 59: Hunting at Night

The bitter medicine went down, and Jiang Li prepared to lie there like a corpse. When night fell, the doctor came to change Jiang Li’s dressing as usual. “Your self-healing ability is very strong, there’s no big problem. Don’t do any strenuous activities later, to prevent the wound from reopening.” Jiang Li nodded. “Okay, thank you, doctor.” Before leaving, the doctor didn’t forget to remind Ye Chen and Qinghe again. “You two watch over her carefully, don’t sneak out again because it’s the last night.” Jiang Li secretly stifled her laughter behind him. It seemed like they had done this quite a few times. Ye Chen looked calm and composed, he smiled and assured the doctor.

On the other hand, Qinghe’s emotions were written all over his face. He stood stiffly, full of tension. His lips were tightly pursed, and he didn’t dare to utter a sound. Fortunately, Ye Chen attracted the doctor’s attention and didn’t notice Qinghe’s abnormality. After seeing the doctor off, Ye Chen and Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing their two faces as if they had escaped from the jaws of death, Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “You two are really scaredy-cats, you’re so afraid of the doctor that you can’t even speak.” “Ai, you don’t understand.

 The doctor is the most terrifying person in our Leopard tribe.” “Hmm? Why do you say that?” Jiang Li was puzzled, she tilted her head and looked at Ye Chen. Ye Chen and Qinghe looked at each other and sighed. Their expressions were both painful and conflicted. “A few years ago, when we first arrived here, the Leopard tribe happened to have an epidemic. Qinghe and I were in good health and never got infected. The doctor used us for experiments every day to treat the epidemic. Thankfully, we were lucky and nothing happened. But now it’s good, whenever we make him unhappy, he uses needles to prick us, how can we not be afraid?” Qinghe echoed Ye Chen’s words.

Thinking back to that period of time, he couldn’t help but shiver. “We’re not afraid of the Beast King, at most we’ll get beaten a few times. But the doctor is too scary, I don’t want to go through that torture again!” Jiang Li remembered that in the modern world, you couldn’t offend medical students, otherwise you wouldn’t know how you died.

 Before, she rarely went to see a doctor, and rarely interacted with doctors, except for her regular chemotherapy and medication. So she didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence. But seeing their two appearances… she seemed to understand. “Don’t talk about these things, the more you talk about it, the more your back chills. Qinghe, go check out the situation outside, let’s sneak out.” “Okay!” Qinghe, who received his orders, quickly walked outside.

 Ye Chen walked to the corner filled with miscellaneous items and rummaged through them. “What are you looking for?” Jiang Li stood up and walked towards Ye Chen. “Of course I’m looking for my secret weapon!” After saying that, Ye Chen found three bows and arrows from the pile of miscellaneous items. Two of them had the abbreviations of Qinghe and Ye Chen’s names carved on them. She would never forget these bows and arrows, they were the things that Ye Chen and Qinghe used to attack her. “These two are for our exclusive use, this one is for you.

” Ye Chen said, handing Jiang Li the one without any inscription. “What are you going to do with this? Hunting?” Jiang Li took the bow and arrow and examined it carefully, she would occasionally pull the bow with her hand. The bow Ye Chen gave her wasn’t very big, it was very convenient for her small hands to use. “Of course.”

Ye Chen rubbed his nose and smiled at Jiang Li. “There’s a lot of prey at night, what else are you going to do if you don’t go hunting?” Hearing this, Jiang Li pulled her lips into a “hehe” smile. “Don’t tell me you and Qinghe are still thinking of using me as prey?” Ye Chen smiled awkwardly. “How could that be? Isn’t one lesson enough?” Just as Jiang Li was about to continue to retort Ye Chen unceremoniously, Qinghe walked in.

“Ye Chen, Jiang Li, I’ve checked, there’s no one outside, they’re all asleep.” Ye Chen nodded and handed the bow and arrow to Qinghe, then he raised an eyebrow at Jiang Li beside him. “Let’s go, let’s go hunting.” Jiang Li nodded and followed behind Ye Chen and Qinghe. Afraid of being discovered by the beastmen in the tribe, the three of them bent over and walked quietly, even their steps were softened. They walked around the perimeter of the grass house, afraid of making any noise.

They were familiar with the area, knowing where to quickly leave the Leopard tribe. In a short while, Ye Chen and Qinghe led Jiang Li out of the Leopard tribe and arrived near where Jiang Li had been injured the previous night. After stringing the bow, Ye Chen took Jiang Li to a patch of grass and stayed there. Qinghe squatted down in the grass opposite them. “Whether it’s birds flying in the sky or rabbits jumping on the ground, this area has it all. Let’s just stay here quietly, we’ll definitely be able to catch something.” Jiang Li nodded and chuckled.

“Alright, but you two have to be careful this time, don’t accidentally injure me again.” Ye Chen’s earlobes turned red, he embarrassedly pursed his lips, and didn’t dare to look at Jiang Li. He softly said in the blowing night wind, “Yeah, I know.” The three of them didn’t know how long they had been squatting in the grass. Forget about prey, Jiang Li was about to be eaten by mosquitoes. Her arms and legs were covered in bites, even her face was bitten.

 “Ye Chen, how long are we going to squat here?” If she couldn’t catch any prey, she would become food for these mosquitoes. Ye Chen was also bitten badly, he had been squatting for so long and still hadn’t found any prey, he was also getting impatient. But even so, he didn’t want to return empty-handed. It was he who had brought Jiang Li out hunting, if he really returned empty-handed, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Let’s wait a while, if we really can’t catch anything, we’ll go back.” Seeing him say this, Jiang Li didn’t say anything. After all, you can’t dampen the enthusiasm of young people, right? Just as Ye Chen’s words had just landed, a “rustling” sound came from the grass not far away. Their originally negative attitude instantly became alert after hearing this sound. They straightened up and looked towards the source of the sound.

 A fat white rabbit, chewing on the grass in its mouth, hopped out of the grass. “Finally, one came.” Ye Chen curled his lips into a smile, his hot and bright eyes, like those of a hunter, stared intently at the rabbit in front of him, his hands also gently pulled the bow and arrow. Before Jiang Li could react, Ye Chen quickly shot the arrow.

 It accurately hit the rabbit’s back. The rabbit spat out the grass in its mouth and fell to the ground, motionless. “Great, finally caught one!” Ye Chen emerged from the grass and quickly walked towards the rabbit. He grabbed its ears, lifted the dying rabbit, and pulled out the arrow.

 “Ye Chen, why don’t we call it a night?” Qinghe walked out of the grass, mumbling to himself, his words were a little unclear. Jiang Li and Ye Chen looked at him together, and when they saw his appearance, they couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
