The wolf king looked at him, then walked forward, let out a low howl, and lay down in front of him.
Hao patted the wolf king's head and said, "Thank you for these days. This pill is for you." He stuffed the pill into the wolf king's mouth. It was not a rare pill, but it was also a pill made by his mother. It was a reward for the wolf king's protection and catching prey for them these days.
"Ao!" The wolf king swallowed the pill, howled excitedly, and rubbed his palm with his head.
Haoer withdrew his hand, then took the two little ones beside him and left along the mountain road.
The wolf king watched from behind until he could no longer see them. Then he howled three times and leapt back into the mountains...
The three children walked along the mountain path until noon. The scorching sun overhead made them sweat, so the three of them came to rest under a tree by the roadside.
"Sister, drink some water." Haoer took out some water from the space and handed it to her to drink first.
After Yue Er finished drinking, she handed it back to him: "Brother, drink too."
"Brother, drink some water, drink more." Hao'er handed him the water. After he drank it, he drank some himself, and then took out the dried meat and shared it with them.
After resting, the three of them walked again. However, after walking for a long distance, Haoer noticed that Yueer was limping a little when she walked, so he stopped and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with your foot?"
Yue Er hesitated for a moment before whispering, "My feet hurt."
"Where does it hurt? Let me see." Hao'er said, taking her to the side of the road and sitting down. He helped her take off her boots and socks and took a look at her. Her little face tensed up.
He saw that her white and tender feet had three or four blisters, each of which was the size of a finger, and her toes were also red, but she didn't say a word. He couldn't help but feel distressed, so he touched her head and said, "Good girl Yue'er, I'll pick the blisters for you, and it won't hurt after applying some medicine."
Mu Chen, who was standing next to him, was watching with his mouth tightly pursed, his eyes filled with nervousness and worry. When he saw his elder brother taking out something to help Yue Er prick the blood blister, he walked closer and held Yue Er's little head in his arms, saying, "It won't hurt. It won't hurt if you don't look."
Yue'er lay in Mu Chen's arms, her little hands clutching his clothes, her feet resting on her big brother's legs. She couldn't see, but she felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but hiss.
"It will be fine in a while." Hao'er rinsed her with clean water. After cleaning her, he applied medicine and tore off a small strip of cloth and tied it up carefully to avoid rubbing the torn skin.
"Okay." Hao'er said, "Don't put on your boots yet. I'll carry you on my back."
"Ah?" Yue'er blinked, with a silly look on her delicate face, and said blankly: "But, Yue'er is so heavy."
Seeing her little look, Haoer couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not heavy, big brother can carry it, come on." He turned his back and squatted, with his hands behind his back, and said to Mu Chen, "Brother, hold my sister's boots, don't lose them."
"Yeah." Mu Chen responded, helped Yue'er lie on his back, and then followed beside him with his boots.
Yue Er, who was lying on his back, smiled and hugged him tightly with her little hands. Her soft voice was filled with a happy smile: "Brother, Yue Er is so comfortable like this."
