As soon as the gauze was removed, Xu Que's body was instantly naked, leaving only a layer of sticky ointment on it.
"Your injury is still very serious. The doctor said that you can't stop taking medicine for a month. Why did you remove the ointment yourself …"
At this time, Xiao Rou outside the door rebuked him, but she didn't dare to come in again.
Xu Que quickly grabbed the patched quilt on the bed and wrapped it around his body. He coughed and said, "Xiao Rou, I'm fine. In fact, it's just a superficial wound. It's not a big deal. Can you help me find some clothes?"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Rou's reply came from outside the door, "… Wait!"
Then he heard the sound of her leaving quickly.
Xu Que grinned and sat back on the bed, waiting for Xiao Rou to bring the clothes. However, the smell of medicine on his body was a bit pungent, which made him frown.
However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Rou still didn't come back.
Xu Que couldn't help but be a little anxious. Could it be that Xiao Rou thought that he was playing a hooligan and ran to call people to catch him? Damn it, this is a huge misunderstanding!
He hurriedly wrapped the quilt tightly around himself and jumped out of bed. He ran to the door and quietly opened it a little.
From the situation outside the house, he was now obviously in a poor small village. There were a few similarly simple and shabby huts on the opposite side. The street was full of yellow sand and was not paved with stone slabs, so it was very easy to get dust.
However, this kind of environment was different. Although it was a little backward, it was close to nature. It was very quiet and comfortable, a good place to retire.
But at this moment, the village was strangely quiet, and the streets were empty.
Xu Que didn't have time to appreciate the beauty of the village. He hid behind the door and looked around, but he couldn't see a single villager.
"Strange, there seemed to be some movement just now. How come Xiao Rou just left for a while and there's no one here?"
He frowned doubtfully and was about to open the door to take a look.
Not far away, there was a sudden rush of footsteps, and the dust on the ground was stirred up.
Soon after, he saw a few able-bodied villagers rushing over from afar from the fields, holding all kinds of hoes and tools in their hands, rushing over quickly.
Xu Que's eyes widened. What the f * ck, he really called someone to beat me up?
"Quick, don't let that beast harm the lives of our villagers," shouted a dark-skinned man.
The corner of Xu Que's mouth twitched. How dare you call me a beast? He was looking for a beating.
Clang!
Immediately, he kicked the door open and walked out with a tattered blanket draped over his naked body. He looked extremely wretched.
But before he could open his mouth to curse, the few strong men suddenly froze and looked at Xu Que with astonishment on their faces.
"Hey, kid, why did you get off the bed?"
"Yeah! Didn't the doctor say the injury was very serious? Go back and lie down. Don't get involved in this. We can definitely chase that beast away. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Go back and lie down. Don't catch a cold."
…
Xu Que was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and let them send him into the house.
What the hell? They weren't going to beat me? Damn, I thought they were coming for me.
But if they weren't scolding me, who was that beast? Xiao Rou hadn't come back for so long. Could it be …
Xu Que was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Wait, what happened? Where's Xiao Rou?"
The strong men were stunned. "Ah? Kid, you still don't know what happened? "
"Just now, a fierce beast ran down the mountain and wanted to hunt the villagers. Xiao Rou happened to see it and asked everyone to help. We were working in the fields and didn't know. It was the fat girl from the Wang family who came to tell us. Now, we are going to help. "
"Yes, yes, don't delay. Go quickly. Little boy, go back to your room and lie down first. After we've dealt with that beast, our village will hold a beast feast tonight and we'll eat meat together. "
After saying that, they carried their hoes and rushed to the entrance of the village.
"Beast?"
Xu Que was stunned and stood rooted to the ground. When he regained his senses, he glanced left and right before rushing towards a wooden cabinet.
He grabbed a piece of red cloth from the cabinet and wrapped it firmly between his legs. He then covered himself with a quilt and rushed to the entrance of the village.
He decided to help. Although he didn't know what beast it was, it must be unusual for so many strong men to help.
Also, Xiao Rou was there. He had to go. If the situation allowed it, he could act tough and earn some acting tough points.
Xu Que was very fast. The quilt on his body fluttered in the wind. Together with the red cloth, he looked like a beggar version of Superman.
Whoosh!
Within a few breaths, Xu Que had overtaken the few villagers. He flashed past them, giving them a shock.
"Damn, how can this kid run so fast? He doesn't look like someone who's injured! "
"Could he be a disciple of some martial arts sect?"
…
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 5 act tough points."
As he ran, the system beep rang out in Xu Que's mind, causing him to be startled.
Fuck, when did I act tough?
Xu Que was stunned for a moment. Acting tough invisibly? So he had unknowingly acted tough in front of the few villagers! And the reward was so high, 5 act tough points in one go?
Looks like the saying was right. Acting tough invisibly is the most deadly!
…
Very quickly, after going around the small road, a group of people appeared. Men, women, young and old surrounded the entrance of the village. From time to time, angry shouts and roars could be heard.
The angry shouts were made by humans, but the roars were like the roars of a ferocious tiger.
Xu Que's gaze swept through the crowd. Not far away, a few able-bodied men were locked in a stalemate with a wild beast.
The wild beast's body was extremely huge, like a black bull. It was strong and ferocious and had the head of a tiger. When it opened its mouth and roared, each of its sharp teeth seemed to be emitting a cold aura. It was very intimidating.
But the able-bodied men didn't retreat. They raised their hoes and stood in front of the crowd, confronting the wild beast.
Xu Que saw this and shouted out, "Let go of that beast!"
Swoosh!
In an instant, all the villagers turned to look at him.
Xu Que quickly wrapped himself in his blanket and added, "Let me do it!"
"Ah … Why are you here?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed. It was Xiao Rou.
The other villagers knew who Xu Que was. Their faces changed as they shouted out anxiously, "Little brother, go back quickly. Don't get too close. If you get hurt by the wild beast again, it won't be good."
"That's right! You're injured, go back quickly. "
...
Before Xu Que could act tough, he was stopped by the crowd and blocked his way. He then said anxiously, "Fellow villagers, there's no time to explain. Let me deal with that beast first."
But the villagers didn't care and blocked his way. They were determined not to let him go to his death.
An old man walked out of the crowd with the help of a walking stick and said earnestly, "Little boy, don't worry! We know you're kind-hearted, but you're weak and injured. How can you be a match for that beast? Listen to me and don't try to be brave. Look, Da Zhuang and the others are injured. "
Xu Que widened his eyes and said, "Old man, don't look at me because I'm thin! I've fought hundreds of wild beasts alone. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Rou. "
"Ah?"
Xiao Rou was confused. Didn't he say there were dozens of them?
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard.
The village entrance was filled with dust. A few strong men who had gathered there were sent flying. Amidst the dust, there were two faint flashes of blood …
The villagers who were trying to persuade Xu Que were shocked. They turned their heads to look and their faces changed dramatically.
Amidst the gradually scattering dust, a pitch-black and enormous beast shadow rushed out, roaring as it charged towards them!
"Roar!"
The beast's roar seemed to bring with it a terrifying aura that caused everyone's thoughts to stop for a moment.
Xiao Rou, who was at the front of the crowd, suddenly turned pale. In her eyes, a pair of sharp claws was rapidly enlarging …
The strong wind pressure blew the dust away. The biting cold wind was like a strong winter wind, about to tear Xiao Rou's delicate body apart.
"Not good."
"Xiao Rou, get out of the way."
"It's over!"
The surrounding villagers cried out in alarm. They seemed to have foreseen the bloody scene that was about to happen.
