Chapter 2659: Night Patrol

No one knew that during this dark night, Feng Jiu quietly scared away a few dangerous beasts that were drawn to the smell of blood. An ancient pressure spread faintly in the air in the outer part of the circle centred around the Guo’s family, intimidating those ferocious beasts that were greedily watching their prey so that they dared not come near this side.

At this time, the Guo family’s elderly man and the middle-aged man were anxiously scanning the area. “The stench of blood is too strong here. I’m afraid it will result in another attack by ferocious beasts. Now that our people are injured, they cannot withstand a second attack.”

“Don’t be concerned, Great Elder and Uncle Sun.” Guo Xinning replied, observing the people around them. Suddenly, a figure in azure emerged from the shadows and sat beneath the tree.

“Make caution your first priority.” The elderly man spoke in a feeble voice. “We really shouldn’t stay here at this time if it hadn’t been for the crisis in the middle of the night and our people being exhausted.”

“I’ll send two more people to patrol the area.” Guo Xinning replied. He walked away after giving them a salute.

When Xie Yutang noticed Guo Xinning about to patrol around, he came forward and said, “Brother Guo, your wound has not yet been treated. It will become inflamed if left untreated.”

After hearing his remark, Guo Xinning glanced at his wound and smiled gently. “It doesn’t matter, because it’s just a small cut.”

“Small wounds still need to be cared for.”

Xie Yutang turned around to ask the person close by for the wound medicine, but he heard the man say, “We’ve run out of wound medicine. Several others still have not received medical attention. There are too many injured people and not enough medical supplies.”

Xie Yutang was taken aback when he heard this and glanced at those people. Seeing Guo Xinning smiling, Xie Yutang dragged him over to where Feng Jiu was and said, “Feng Jiu still has half a bottle of wound medicine. I’ll ask him to bandage your wound.”

As he brought Guo Xinning to Feng Jiu beneath the tree, Guo Xinning’s eyes flashed when he saw the young man in azure sitting with his eyes closed, but he remained silent.

“Little Jiu.”

Xie Yutang smiled flatteringly. Instead of calling her Feng Jiu, as he usually did, he called her affectionately Little Jiu. When he saw Feng Jiu open her eyes, he quickly said, “This is what happened. They are out of wound medicine. I recall you still have half a bottle of medication. Let’s do this! Bandage Big Brother Guo’s wound with that medicine.”

Feng Jiu took out a half-bottle of medicine and motioned to Guo Xinning. “Sit down!”

Guo Xinning sat down and removed his coat, exposing the wounds on his chest and arm. He cocked his head to the side to observe Feng Jiu and saw her disinterest. She took out the medication, sprinkled it on the wound, and then applied a basic bandage.

“It’s alright.” Feng Jiu said and stood up. “Will you be on the night patrol? I’ll take care of it.” She then walked into the darkness by herself.

“Hey, Little Jiu.” Xie Yutang tried to stop him, but she had gone into the darkness.

“Don’t worry, I’ll follow. ” Guo Xinning spoke, turned back to give directions to the other two men, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Feng Jiu walked around, holding branches she’d found somewhere and fiddling with weeds here and there. Her pace was slow. It was more of a walk than a night patrol.

She turned around when she heard a noise behind her and saw Guo Xinning. “What brought Young Master Guo here?”

“Why don’t you call me Big Brother Guo?”
