Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 32 - 32 32 Escape to Freedom

32: Chapter 32: Escape to Freedom 32: Chapter 32: Escape to Freedom However, something even more embarrassing happened to Li Yuejia.

She found herself still completely weak, unable to even stand, let alone walk.

As soon as Wu Xiaoyu let go of her, Li Yuejia plopped down on the ground.

Wu Xiaoyu had to repeatedly apologize as he helped her up again and asked, “Still no strength?”

Li Yuejia kept her head down and responded, “Mm-hmm!”

The night was getting darker, and the moon had already hung itself high in the branches.

Wu Xiaoyu dared not delay any longer in the mountains and had to bend down and say, “Come on!

Climb up, I’ll carry you back!”

Although Li Yuejia felt a bit shy, she wasn’t the type to be overly reserved and unaware of the gravity of the situation.

She directly laid on Wu Xiaoyu’s back.

She tightly held onto his shoulders, trying her best not to let her ample chest press against his back.

Wu Xiaoyu tightly grasped her legs, stood up, and started down the mountain along the path they had come.

When they reached the spot by the huge rock, they saw that the injured wolf from earlier was nowhere to be seen.

“What the hell!

What’s going on?” Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but blurt out, but he regretted it as soon as he spoke.

Carrying a young girl on his back, alone in the deep mountains, saying such things might cause misunderstandings.

Quickly, he muttered to himself, “Where did that injured wolf from before go?”

Hearing him mention the wolf, Li Yuejia curiously asked, “Brother Xiaoyu, how did that wolf get injured?

And what was that light about?”

Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t tell her that the jade token on his chest had injured the wolf, so he shamelessly said, “Oh!

When the wolf attacked earlier, I injured it with my machete.”

“As for that light, it was my flashlight that fell to the ground.

I can’t find it now, but fortunately, there’s a moon tonight, so we won’t get lost!”

A girl in her peach-blossom years, whose heart is beginning to stir, hearing Wu Xiaoyu speak of injuring a wolf, felt an admiration for his prowess and heroism.

Li Yuejia’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, and a tender sprout began to grow in her heart.

The way down the mountain was even more perilous than the way up.

The forest trail was rough and uneven, causing Wu Xiaoyu to sway back and forth as he walked.

Though Li Yuejia used her hands to support herself on Wu Xiaoyu’s shoulders, her peaks still occasionally brushed against his plain.

This frequent, light contact also caused Wu Xiaoyu’s mind to wander.

The two fell into silence, the beautiful moonlight casting their shadows on the ground.

Li Yuejia, staring at the shadow on the ground, found herself lost in thought, wishing they could always be like this.

After walking through the forest for about an hour, Wu Xiaoyu faintly heard someone calling their names, realizing that someone had come into the mountains to search for them.

Wu Xiaoyu excitedly said, “Jiajia, did you hear that?

Someone’s calling our names, they’ve come into the mountain to look for us!”

However, no matter how hard Li Yuejia listened, all she could hear were the sounds of insects and frogs.

Feeling guilty, she said, “I really shouldn’t have followed them into this deep mountain!”

“It’s fine!

We’re almost down the mountain.

I heard someone calling us, which means we’re not far from the foot of the mountain!” Wu Xiaoyu comforted her.

Meanwhile, nearly two hundred strong men from the village, holding torches and flashlights, had gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The village chief, Niu Mansheng, with a worried expression but secretly pleased, said:

“Everyone be careful when entering the mountains.

Form groups of about ten people to begin the search, and absolutely do not act alone.

We don’t want to lose more people when we haven’t found those in the mountains yet!”

“Our Daxin Village has always been a community that helps each other.

When one family is in trouble, the whole village supports them.

Now it’s time to show our kinship, so don’t let anyone down…”

“…”

“Hey Wu Dushan, make sure you divide the Wu Family into groups before entering the mountain.

Absolutely no acting alone!

Now, let me go over the rules…”

Wu Dushan, frustrated by his long-windedness, said sternly, “Village Chief!

Are you here to help?

What rules are you talking about?

With so many of us going into the mountain, even if we encountered that wolf, we could scare it to death!”

“Our urgent matter now is to immediately start searching in the mountain.

Every minute we delay is another minute of risk.

The Wu Family, follow me into the mountain!”

With that said, over twenty men from the crowd, holding torches, rushed into the mountain.

Wu Youliang and Wang Aifeng were stopped by several elderly women from their clan.

Seeing Wang Aifeng crying uncontrollably, there was no way she could be allowed to venture into the mountains.

Although Wu Youliang was extremely anxious, he patiently comforted her by his side.

Li Yuejia’s mother was also crying uncontrollably.

However, with only a dozen or so households of the Lee family in the village, only five or six young men had shown up, with no one to take the lead, so they had to follow the Village Chief’s group.

Village Chief Niu Mansheng was methodically and calmly arranging the rescue operation.

Earlier that day, Wu Xiaoyu had caught him on something, and then he ventured into the deep mountain at night, his life and death unknown.

Wasn’t this divine assistance?

He wanted Wu Xiaoyu to die as soon as possible.

How could he actively arrange a search and rescue?

The two families were crying together, while Niu Mansheng sat aloof, fishing in troubled waters.

After delaying for more than thirty minutes, Niu Mansheng finally sent people into the mountain to search, while he himself walked over to Wang Aifeng with a faux-sincere look and said, “Don’t worry!

Everything will be fine!

Xiaoyu is so capable, even if he encountered a wolf, he would be okay!”

These heartfelt words, if heard by outsiders, would certainly paint the Village Chief as a caring person.

But to Wu Youliang, these words sounded more like a curse.

While Niu Mansheng was internally celebrating the prospect of eliminating a major thorn in his side, excited calls suddenly came from not far from the foot of the mountain.

What?

They found someone?

So quickly!

Niu Mansheng’s mood plummeted from a high peak to a deep valley.

Why?

Why didn’t that person just die?

How did that wolf not devour him?

Hearing the news, Wang Aifeng quickly wiped her tears and rushed towards the mountain.

After only a few steps, she saw her son.

Under the escort of several cousins, Wu Xiaoyu was carrying Li Yuejia down the mountain.

Wang Aifeng ran over and hugged her son tightly, bursting into tears.

Li Yuejia was also tightly embraced by her mother, who cried and scolded, “You crazy girl, going to the mountains like that.

If you don’t care about your life, don’t drag others into it!”

A large-scale search had barely begun and was already concluded.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu was safe, the resentment in Niu Mansheng’s heart grew even more.

At least tonight wasn’t entirely a loss for him.

After all, under his leadership, the search operation ended successfully without anyone getting hurt.

Reporting this to the town would count as no small achievement!
