Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Mei Ping felt that Lu Yao was disrespecting her.

They even started swearing at me!

Hmph, so you're acting like you've saved my life, aren't you?

I would really be grateful to you if you were alright.

But you're so arrogant... I'm not going to talk to you anymore!

Mei Ping is a person who cares about her reputation.

After being rebuffed, I stopped asking.

Look at Zhao Jianguo, his head covered in sweat; it's not just from being tired, but mostly from pain.

Lu Yao bent down:

"Come on, I'll carry you for a while."

Zhao Jianguo was so frightened that he quickly dodged:

"No, no, no! Company Commander Lu, you're injured too."

"It's alright, we need to get out of here quickly and find a safe place, otherwise it would be terrible if we ran into the enemy in this flat area. If there's a sniper around, we'd be sitting ducks."

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Zhao Jianguo dared not say anything more.

She lay on Lu Yao's back.

I was so moved that my nose tingled and I almost cried.

I feel like I looked down on Lu Yao before and verbally attacked him. Lu Yao is a magnanimous person who doesn't hold grudges and risked his life to save me from the guillotine at the Grand Canyon.

Now they're even wasting their energy carrying themselves.

This immense kindness and virtue deserves to be repaid with my life!

Lu Yao carried Zhao Jianguo on his back, urging Xiao Baihe on from behind:

"Hurry up, stop dawdling, run! Or I'll kill your son first!"

Xiaobaihe quickly sped up her run and kept urging her son, who couldn't speak Chinese, to go faster.

Last night's battle terrified her.

These past few years, all I've done is hunt and serve men by giving birth.

Both of my sons were killed in last night's battle.

Hearing a gunshot from the tree behind him, he grabbed his eldest son and rolled into the bushes to escape.

The eldest son was grazed in the shoulder by a bullet, and he himself was hit in the ribs by a stray bullet.

At least I survived.

After wandering in the woods for most of the night, I finally ran into my own people.

I thought I was finally able to go home, but I ran into his people again in the canyon.

In the blink of an eye, the two uncles who had watched her grow up died before her eyes. How could she not be afraid of Lu Yao?

Even when exhausted and in pain from their wounds, they dared not stop.

They ran at breakneck speed, pulling the plank along, constantly changing direction as Lu Yao directed.

Around noon, we arrived at a patch of burned grass.

Lu Yao also took many detours before finally finding this hot spring valley cave.

Lu Yao carried Zhao Jianguo on his back for a while and helped him walk for a while, and he was covered in sweat.

We've finally arrived. We can take a break now.

He ordered Sayuri and Yujiro to go ahead.

Lu Yao had Mei Ping and Zhao Jianguo support each other behind him, while he followed Xiao Baihe and her daughter into the hot spring valley first.

They tied the two men to a tree before coming out to meet Mei Ping.

Mei Ping was immediately astonished when she entered the hot spring valley.

"Wow, there's such a great place in Da Huan Shan?"

Zhao Jianguo was also so surprised that he spun around in circles.

For a moment, I forgot about the injury on my leg until I fell down in pain, and then I calmed down.

When Lu Yao first saw Hot Spring Valley, he wanted to book it for himself. However, now he realized that it was too far from the village, the road was difficult to travel, and there were wild animals.

That gave up the idea.

They are not afraid of others knowing about this place.

People these days don't have the mindset for making money.

Anyway, the militiamen and villagers already knew there was a hot spring valley here, so it wouldn't make a difference if Mei Ping and Zhao Jianguo knew too.

Moreover, this is the best place for recuperation.

If we don't rest here, we won't be able to get home until it gets dark.

Let Mei Ping and Zhao Jianguo sit by the hot spring lake.

It gets warmer the closer you get to the lake.

Lu Yao used a knife to cut open Zhao Jianguo's trouser leg.

Look at his injuries.

"Dude, if you don't treat your leg, it will get infected and worse. You'll be lucky to survive if you have to have it amputated!"

Zhao Jianguo smiled wryly: "Company Commander Lu, I also want to get treatment! It's just that we can't walk fast enough to get back!"

Lu Yao looked around: "I'll go gather some herbs, then I'll perform a minor surgery on you. Can you trust me?"

Zhao Jianguo nodded: "Company Commander Lu, you gave me my life. Don't even mention treating my illness; you can take my life anytime you want!"

Lu Yao smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder:

"That's brave of you, a real man!"

After saying that, he got up and left.

Mei Ping looked at Zhao Jianguo:

"Xiao Zhao, although he saved you, it was within the scope of his militia duties. You can be grateful to him, but you can't lose your way, understand?"

Zhao Jianguo understood what Mei Ping meant.

She was somewhat wary when she saw Lu Yao kill someone without even blinking.

As a disciplined force, we cannot act impulsively.

"I know my superiors, I know what I'm doing, but... Company Commander Lu truly deserves my respect. He could have easily avoided going to the Japanese devils' lair and gone straight home; they'd all be sitting on warm beds right now..."

"Alright, I don't need you to remind me!"

Mei Ping was very unhappy.

She wasn't unaware that Lu Yao had done her a great favor.

Without him, not only would his life be in danger, but he would also be violated.

But I just can't get over this hurdle.

He has always been successful in his work; otherwise, he wouldn't have been entrusted with such an important task at such a young age.

But if it weren't for Lu Yao this time, his team would have suffered a crushing defeat.

She didn't hate Lu Yao; she just couldn't accept losing.

I feel extremely sad.

A short while later, Lu Yao returned.

We brought back a lot of herbs.

Then he took out a lot of clean gauze from his bosom.

They were all found in the Japanese army's camp.

It was to treat their wounds.

The herbs were washed and prepared, and then set aside for later use.

Mei Ping finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked:

"You were one of the wolves burned to death in the cave earlier, right? Did you live here before? This stone trough looks like it was used for pounding medicine..."

Lu Yao pointed to a pile of stones to the side:

"There's also a toilet over there. If you really need to pee but are too scared to squat, you can just sit on it and pee!"

Mei Ping was speechless.

That guy's a scoundrel; he'll fall for someone else in less than three sentences!

Lu Yao lit a fire.

I heated the dagger over a fire a few times to sterilize it.

Looking at Zhao Jianguo, she asked, "It might hurt a little when it's being treated. Can you bear it?"

Zhao Jianguo brought over a dry branch, nodded, and said, "It's alright, I can handle it! Go ahead and do it, Company Commander Lu."

Then hold the dry branch horizontally in your mouth.

Lu Yao first used a knife to widen the trouser legs.

Then he used lake water to wash away the bloodstains on his legs.

Tie a rope around his thigh to stop the blood flow.

Then she took out a small cloth bag, which contained silver needles that she had obtained from Huang Yuejuan.

Lu Yao is for emergency use.

At this time, needles were inserted into several acupoints on Zhao Jianguo's legs to help block the meridians, stop bleeding, and relieve pain.

Then pinch the wooden spike piercing his leg and pull it out forcefully.

"what!"

Zhao Jianguo almost bit off the dry twig in his mouth.

Despite Lu Yao's efforts to alleviate the pain, sweat still dripped down his face.

Blood immediately gushed from the hole in his leg.

Lu Yao pressed the heated dagger against it.

"Sizzle"

A plume of white smoke rose.

Mei Ping, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but grin.

It looks painful, let alone Zhao Jianguo experiencing it firsthand.

Lu Yao also had limited resources and could only use cauterization to stop the bleeding and kill bacteria.

Heat each leg once.

Then I took the crushed dandelion leaves and applied them to the wound.

A wave of coolness immediately relieved the pain considerably.

Dandelion leaves can clear heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and dissipate nodules, and are effective for external injuries and skin ulcers.

Lu Yao used what was available to help him, thus preventing the infection from leading to amputation.

This time, with a clean cloth wrapped around his neck, Zhao Jianguo didn't feel as much pain.

Lu Yao turned to look at Mei Ping:

"It's your turn. Let me take a look at your wound."

"Ah...you can't look..."

Startled, Mei Ping quickly covered her waistband, as if afraid that Lu Yao would come over and pull down her pants.
