The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

She sighed and whispered to the several ferocious skulls baring their white teeth, "Grievances have heads, debts have owners. The ones who stole your territory are the two mute guys outside. I was captured by them, just like you, a victim as well. If you have any awareness beneath these springs, please bless me to leave this place alive. If I can ever return, I promise to properly gather your bones again!"

Gu Youyou rambled on for a while, then bent down to pick and choose a arm bone of suitable length and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend; we, after all, share a common enemy and can be considered friends. So I’m looking to borrow a bone from you to save another one of our allies; you wouldn’t object to that, right?"

"Ah, if you don’t speak up, I’ll take that as your agreement, and I’ll come to see you again another day!"

Returning to the main chamber, the four eyes, belonging to the man and the wolf cub, fell back on her. Gu Youyou straightened up and went over to help the wolf cub stabilize its leg bone.

The wolf cub was very small, looking to be about two or three months old; the bone was somewhat long for it.

But there was no other way; this was the shortest one available. She certainly couldn’t use someone’s rib, as those ribs weren’t straight.

Gu Youyou tore off a strip of cloth from her clothing, bandaged the wolf cub’s wound, and then secured it.

"It might hurt a bit soon, so you can cry out, but you must not bite me! Otherwise, I’ll let them eat you today," Gu Youyou warned fiercely.
