Yu Zhizhi ate a freshly steamed rice cake, eager to go check on the "Wild Dog."
She came to a small path winding through a bamboo grove. Morning light filtered through the stalks, and the air was filled with the scent of spring.
Her maid followed beside her, carrying a food container filled with fresh provisions.
Soon, Yu Zhizhi saw the storage shed.
She had heard it had been cleaned out for the Wild Dog to live in.
As Yu Zhizhi arrived, the territory's doctor was just walking out. Seeing the young female approaching, he gave a slight nod.
"How is he?" Yu Zhizhi asked.
The doctor spoke with a heavy heart. "His life has been saved for now, but his injuries are severe. Whether he can pull through depends on him."
Yu Zhizhi nodded.
She and her maid walked up the steps.
