Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

A hoarse, joyful voice rang out from under the trees. Meng Tong withdrew her powers and looked at Lu Chuan, who had spoken.

The man placed the bloodied figure on his back a short distance away, then took a few steps to Meng Tong.

Because the cave was directly illuminated by the moonlight, Lu Chuan saw Meng Tong's figure and her movements.

Luckily, he spoke up in time, otherwise he would have been hit on the head by his own wife.

"Why have you come, my lady?"

"What do you think?" Meng Tong looked at him speechlessly, then turned her head to look at a clump under the tree's shadow and asked, "What's going on here?"

“Uh… I met him while hunting today. He was being dragged through the jungle by a bison with his arm on its heel.”

"I saw that he was still alive, so..."

As Lu Chuan spoke, he glanced at Meng Tong.

To be honest, he was a little conflicted when he was saving people, because in these chaotic times, he couldn't guarantee that everyone he encountered would be a good person.

Moreover, this place is located deep in the mountains, and ordinary people simply cannot get in.

The reason Lu Chuan saved him in the end was because he saw what Lu Chuan looked like.

This is Yu Feng, the owner of the town's relief center, and the doctor everyone talks about who came from the capital.

Lu Chuan had seen him before when he went to town to get medicine after being injured while hunting.

He was naive at the time and didn't have a penny on him, so Yu Feng waived the fee for him in the end.

This is also why he carried him to this valley; Yu Feng can be considered Lu Chuan's benefactor.

"Didn't the town's relief center leave before the refugees arrived?" Meng Tong asked, puzzled.

Lu Chuan was there too! He even took him to see a doctor about his foot!

"Something must have gone wrong," Lu Chuan replied. "Why don't you take a look at him for me, my wife?"

"Sure, but I need to state my conditions beforehand."

"Yes, my lady, please speak."

“I can save him, but you are not allowed to bring him into the valley. That’s my bottom line.”

“Sure,” Lu Chuan replied without hesitation.

He hadn't originally intended to let him into the valley; there were family secrets inside, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to let an outsider in.

"That's fine."

As she spoke, Meng Tong walked toward the man under the tree's shadow, with Lu Chuan following closely behind, his left hand supporting the woman's arm.

Approaching the man, Meng Tong took out a luminous pearl and gave it to Lu Chuan to hold, instantly illuminating the previously dim jungle.

She also got a clear look at the man's condition on the ground.

The term "blood man" is no joke; there's not a single unblemished spot on his body.

Especially the left arm, it looks like only half a piece of skin is still attached.

Slowly squatting down, Meng Tong checked the man's pulse with her hand; it was only a faint trace.

Without hesitation, Meng Tong infused him with his supernatural abilities, and then decisively stopped, ensuring the man's survival.

Then, with the help of Lu Chuan's outstretched hand, Meng Tong stood up and looked at the tired Lu Chuan to the side, saying, "I've saved him, now it's up to him to take care of himself."

"Yes, thank you, my lady." Supporting Meng Tong's waist, Lu Chuan gave her a grateful look and said, "I'll take you back to rest first. As for him, may I leave him at the cave entrance?"

“Okay,” Meng Tong replied.

It's all been a waste of my superpowers, so I don't want to get dragged away and eaten by wild beasts once I get into the valley.

Lu Chuan carried Yu Feng to the cave entrance and laid him down, then took Meng Tong back to the courtyard in the valley.

The two remained silent throughout the journey. Lu Chuan wanted to speak several times, but when he met Meng Tong's expressionless profile, he didn't know what to say.

Stepping into the courtyard, the luminous pearl in the living room was still lit, and Bai Ye came out from inside after hearing the sound.

"Go to the living room and carry Lu He and Lu Yan back to their room to sleep! The two sisters have been waiting for you all night and have fallen asleep in the living room."

"……it is good."

Releasing his hand from Meng Tong's waist, Lu Chuan entered the living room.

Sure enough, Lu He and Lu Yan had already fallen asleep on the table, with tears still wet on their eyes.

Feeling a pang of sadness, the man strode to the table, carefully pulled Lu He, who was standing on the outside, into his arms, and then strode toward her room.

Perhaps sensing her father's warmth and reassurance, the little girl, who had been somewhat tense, lowered her shoulders slightly as soon as she fell into Lu Chuan's arms, burying her face in his chest and muttering, "Daddy~".

His dark eyes softened, and Lu Chuan felt all his fatigue vanish in that instant.

He carried her inside and laid her down, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of the little girl's eyes.

After carrying Lu Yan into the house to rest, Lu Chuan returned to his and Meng Tong's room.

The woman had already taken off her coat and lay down. When she saw Lu Chuan come in, she raised her eyes slightly and pointed to a package on the table with her left hand, saying, "These are things that can be used for external injuries. Take them and try them out."

"Thank you, madam."

The man smiled, then came to Meng Tong's side, gave her a light kiss on the cheek, told her to get some rest, and then left.

In the quiet room, Meng Tong stared at the ceiling, hoping that Lu Chuan hadn't saved the wrong person.

His appearance was a complete surprise.

……

The next day.

As soon as Meng Tong woke up, she saw Lu Chuan lying in front of her bed.

It looked like he didn't get back until almost dawn. Thinking I shouldn't disturb her, I lay down to sleep by the bed.

A pang of heartache flashed in Meng Tong's eyes. She quietly got up and pulled over the blanket to cover him.

Just then, the man woke up, his bloodshot eyes looking at Meng Tong.

Rubbing his eyes, Lu Chuan asked, "My wife is awake. Did I disturb you?"

"No, you can come up and sleep here! I need to get up."

"I don't need to..."

"Go up."

"Oh!"

Lu Chuan quickly climbed up and lay down obediently, glancing sideways at Meng Tong.

"Close your eyes and sleep."

"Oh."

Not daring to make any other movements, Lu Chuan obediently closed his eyes and went to sleep. In less than a minute, Meng Tong felt his steady breathing.

He really is selfless!

You've exhausted yourself like this.

After putting on her shoes and leaving the house, Meng Tong went to the restroom first.

I walked around the courtyard but didn't see Bai Ye. It seems that Lu Chuan sent him to the cave entrance.

He wasn't afraid of scaring his benefactor to death.

"Mother, where is Father? Has he come back?"

"Shh," Meng Tong whispered to Lu Yan by the door, "Your father is back and sleeping! Shall we not disturb him?"

"Okay~" Lu Yan lowered her voice as well, then tiptoed to Meng Tong's side and looked up to ask, "Mother, did Father carry me when I went back to my room to sleep last night?"

Last night, she vaguely felt that her father had returned, but it didn't feel real, so she went out to look for him and saw Meng Tong wandering around outside the door.

That's why this just happened.

Ruffled the little guy's chubby cheeks and replied with a smile, "He's your daddy."

"Mother, where did Father go yesterday? My sister and I waited at home for a long time."

It took so long that I had to force myself to stay awake, and I eventually cried before I finally fell asleep.

"Go ask your father when he wakes up! Where did he go last night, making our lovely He'er and Yan'er wait for so long?"

"Okay~."
