Chapter 14 Chapter 14 An unquestionable order.

The two rabbits and a turtledove were still alive. Zhang Jingxian washed her hands and let them drink some water.

Then, she thought for a few breaths, broke a plant of Vaccaria segetalis into two halves, and fed them to a rabbit and a turtledove respectively.

It just so happened that the turtledove's wing was injured and it was bleeding.

Seeing that the rabbit and the turtledove had eaten the herbs and were in good spirits, she picked up a small basket from the kitchen, walked out of the yard and headed towards the valley behind.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Qin's family live in a lower area, near the valley. They are Zhang Jingxian's only neighbors.

However, because there were trees between them, they could not hear any noise coming from each other's homes except for the crowing of roosters.

Zhang Jingxian knocked on a wooden door similar to her own and called out to Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin recognized her and quickly opened the door, letting her in. "Ah Xian, what's wrong?"

Because Zhang Jingxian and her uncle learned hunting skills and always got some rare things from the mountains, Aunt Qin valued her very much.

"It's okay. I just want to exchange a dozen eggs with Aunt Qin." Zhang Jingxian raised the basket and said with a smile that she had dried meat, millet, plums, peaches, and rabbits hunted in the mountains today at home, and asked Aunt Qin what she wanted to exchange.

"Meat, meat!" Without waiting for Aunt Qin to speak, Da Niu, who was about the same age as Xia'er, shouted anxiously.

"Then let's change to some dried meat. The dried meat you make, Ah Xian, is so chewy. Not only Daniu, but I also like it." Aunt Qin loved her only son very much. She took out the eggs she had saved and put twenty of them into Zhang Jingxian's basket.

At this time, Uncle Liu heard the sound and came from the backyard. He asked curiously, "Ah Xian, did you go into the mountains today?"

"Yes, I was gone all day, leaving you alone at home. When I came back, you said you wanted to have steamed eggs for dinner, but we didn't have any, so I came here to exchange them."

Zhang Jingxian answered with her eyes squinted, and then asked Liu Erbo casually if he had heard any strange noises.

"There was no sound at all. You don't raise chickens at home, and you can't do anything else with your injured leg." Uncle Liu and the others denied it. Aunt Qin made up her mind and put a few more eggs in the basket.

Since the nobleman wanted to eat, it was just a few eggs. They had only helped the nobleman invite the village elders and doctors before, and later they only gave them a small part of the money and food they got in exchange for the jade, but it still made them very excited.

Zhang Jingxian returned home with a basket full of eggs, picked up a handful of dried meat, and added the wild fruits she had picked today and went to Aunt Qin's house again.

Now, she felt relieved. As long as Yang Gou'er didn't say anything, no one would know the inside story.

The sky became completely dark, and the yellow orioles flapped their wings and flew to their nests, chirping. Her mood improved, and a faint smile appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Ah Xian lied to people and said that I wanted to eat steamed eggs, so you're so happy?"

Suddenly, Xie Yun appeared from the room, having changed into that gray-blue coarse linen robe.

He looked at the woman and spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingxian was suddenly startled. How did he know what she said at Aunt Qin's house? Was he following her?

She clenched her fingertips and looked at him warily.

Xie Yun did not answer her question. There was an unfathomable meaning in his eyes. He pushed the sedan chair closer to her.

Zhang Jingxian subconsciously stepped back, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by him. She leaned over and almost touched him.

"My dear, what are you doing?"

She stared at him closely, with confusion and wariness in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Ah Xian. I just wanted to tell you in advance that wood is not soundproof. I can hear everything you said just now, including your every move at night."

Xie Yun held her wrist, feeling her somewhat rapid heartbeat, and looked her up and down with a dim and unclear gaze.

It's hard to tell whether this is a threat or a reminder.

It’s best not to try to deceive him, it’s best not to play any tricks on him, it’s best... to always take his existence into consideration.

However, Zhang Jingxian only understood the first two meanings. She nodded. How could a venomous snake trust others so easily? He was discovered by her true face, so of course he would not pretend nothing happened.

"Don't worry, my dear. Nothing will change. I will patiently take care of you until your injuries are fully recovered. There's rice porridge cooking in the ceramic jar in the kitchen. Can you let me go?"

She also had to prepare evening meals and boil medicine for him.

Xie Yun's fingertips brushed her pulse heavily, then he let go of her hand. Seeing her turn around and go to the kitchen without hesitation, his breathing suddenly changed.

She didn't understand the deeper meaning of his words at all. How could this woman, who seemed intelligent, be so dull?

A stupid person insists on making every word clear. What is the difference between a kitchen and a bedroom when they are separated by a useless wooden wall?

Xie Yun suppressed some of his anger in his heart, but after he had his evening meal and drank his medicine, he watched her leave with the straw mat in her arms as usual, and his anger grew even stronger.

Finally, after a few days, the ambiguous yet clear sound of water appeared again, and each sound seemed to ring in his ears.

Going into the mountains would make her dirty, and she might even attract bugs. Zhang Jingxian would definitely boil a lot of hot water and wash her body and hair thoroughly.

The candlestick burned with a small flame. She took a quiet bath and stood up from the water.

Zhang Jingxian wiped her exquisite body with a dry cloth, put on a plain skirt, and walked into the yard with her wet long hair loose.

If you go to bed before your hair is dry, you will have a headache the next day.

Under the two jujube trees in the front yard, she made a simple swing with hemp rope and wooden boards.

In her rare free time, she sat on the swing, feeling the cool mountain breeze and swaying slowly.

Through the bamboo window, the man in the room had a cold expression on his face.

His black eyes were fixed on the flying figure. When he clearly saw the water droplets at the end of her hair sliding down into her clothes and disappearing, Xie Yun's gaze seemed to be real and heavy.

He stared at Zhang Jingxian for as long as she sat on the swing.

Never moved away for a moment.

…

When her long hair was half dry, Zhang Jingxian suddenly remembered something she had forgotten. She had not given acupuncture to Xie Yun today.

How about waiting until tomorrow? It's too late now.

She pondered secretly, got off the swing, and accidentally saw that the bamboo window was open, so she walked over and wanted to close it.

However, just as she placed her hand on the window frame, the man lying on the couch opened his eyes and looked at her seriously, with darkness rolling in his eyes.

Zhang Jingxian was frightened by his look and felt inexplicably panicked. She said that she saw the window was not closed and was afraid that snakes and insects would crawl in.

He revealed his true nature earlier than in his previous life, and the feeling he gave her was different from that in his previous life, deeper and more terrifying.

"Come in." The man's voice was hoarse as he called her name, "Ah Xian."

It sounds like an unquestionable order.

Zhang Jingxian's palms were sweating, and she quickly avoided his gaze. "Since you're awake, I'll get the candlestick and silver needles and give you acupuncture on your legs."

As for the fenugreek, he will have to wait until tomorrow to see the condition of the rabbit and the turtledove before taking it.

At this moment, Zhang Jingxian desperately hoped that his leg injury would heal quickly, those people would come quickly, and this person would disappear from her peaceful life quickly.

She keenly noticed that things were gradually deviating from the trajectory of her previous life, especially his expression and reaction.

If it was any later, Zhang Jingxian was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

How could an ordinary farm girl be a match for a vicious young man from aristocratic family?

The door was gently pushed open, bringing in dim light.

Xie Yun's eyes moved from the window to the door, and finally fixed on her eyebrows and eyes that were dyed yellow by the candlelight. Compared with the many women he had seen before, he really couldn't find any superiority in her.

However, it is beautiful, gentle, and contains the spiritual energy of the mountains.

Very attractive.

Whether she did it on purpose or it was revealed invisibly, this peasant girl awakened his usually calm desires.

In just a few days, it has reached the point where restraint is needed.

Xie Yun watched her approach step by step. When he noticed that she kept looking down at the ground, he laughed softly, "If Ah Xian was afraid of falling, why would she carry the candlestick to the kitchen every day? I told you before, a wall made of a thin layer of wood is useless."

He mentioned the wooden wall again. Zhang Jingxian paused and said softly, "My dear, please lift up your robe."

She placed the candlestick on the couch, took out a silver needle, and concentrated on piercing the acupuncture point on Xie Yun's leg.

Perhaps because the light was too dim, she thrust a little harder. Zhang Jingxian heard his heavy breathing and tilted her head to look.

Xie Yun raised his chin, his Adam's apple rolled heavily, his eyes were deep, as if he wanted to suck her in completely.

He didn't say anything.

Zhang Jingxian didn't say anything, just turned her eyes away and quickly inserted the silver needle into the next acupoint.

After half an hour, the silver needles were taken out one by one, and she left still holding the candlestick.

The room was dark again, and Xie Yun's face looked extremely gloomy.

-

The next day, Zhang Jingxian got up a little late.

The feeling of being stared at appeared again, her heart was beating wildly, and she looked around the kitchen but couldn't find the reason.

The two rabbits and a turtledove were all alive and well. Zhang Jingxian took the rabbits and turtledoves that had eaten fenugreek outside the kitchen and carefully observed their appearance.

The rabbit was fine, and the turtledove... the turtledove was more energetic than yesterday, and the wound on its wing was actually healing. Seeing this, she was completely relieved. It matched Doctor Meng's description and could also help the turtledove's wound heal.

It is most likely fenugreek, but even if it is not, it will not be harmful to the human body.

Zhang Jingxian found the remaining dozen or so plants and walked carefully to the dormitory door. Before she could knock, the door was opened.

"My dear, I have found Wang Buluoxing."

"There are guests outside the courtyard."

The two voices rang out at the same time.
