Chapter 869 As expected, women have the most vicious hearts!

As the old man said, all the people in the village have gone to higher places, and everyone who can breathe has been taken away from home.

The whole village was shrouded in heavy rain. There was not even a sound of chickens crowing or dogs barking. It was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

In order to save time, Song Yanxi and Xi Lin acted separately, each responsible for searching the east and west sides of the village.

Even so, after walking around, the sky had already darkened by the time they met.

The heavy rain had turned into a drizzle at some point. When the wind blew, the cold air penetrated into the skin through the wet clothes, making people shiver.

Xi Lin shuddered, rubbed his arms and said, "There is a Liujia Village further ahead. Let's go there quickly while we can still see it.

Once it gets completely dark, it will be impossible to search anymore."

Soaked and frozen for a long time, he stuttered as he spoke, "Who knows, that bastard is in Liujia Village."

Song Yanxi nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag and handed it to him, saying, "Take it out and eat one. I'll go find you some clean clothes to change into."

Xi Lin opened the bottle and smelled it, his eyes lit up, "Such a good thing, it won't be wasted if I eat it."

Although he said this, his actions were very decisive.

After swallowing the medicine in a hurry, he noticed the kettle in Song Yanxi's hand, and his eyes became resentful in an instant.

She had water in her body but didn't take it out earlier. The pill was very dry, and he stretched his neck to swallow it, almost choking to death.

As expected, women have the most vicious hearts!

Looking at his clothes that were so dirty that the color was almost invisible, Xi Lin said thoughtfully, "I really need to get some clothes. If I put them on like this, people who don't know me would think I'm a water ghost that crawled out of the river."

He handed the porcelain bottle to Song Yanxi, and said with a fearless look on his face, "Wait here for me. I'll go steal some clothes."

Song Yanxi frowned, "Steal?"

Xi Lin looked like he knew everything, and said in a deep voice, "As a man, it's not right for a woman to take the lead."

Well said, and very manly.

But there was one thing Song Yanxi didn’t quite understand.

This person goes out without any money on him?

Song Yanxi took out her purse and pulled out a silver ingot weighing about two taels. She said, "For a set of clothes, there's no need to ask Divine Doctor Xi to become a thief."

Hearing the disdain in her words, Xi Lin retorted, "I rushed out as soon as I heard the news. I even broke my umbrella on the way. I didn't have time to go back and get the money.

Besides, even if I took some banknotes with me, they would definitely get wet on the way."

Song Yanxi nodded, ignored him, and walked straight towards a house whose door was still open.

She was really confused. Why would she argue about these things with a young master who was always well-off and had no shortage of money?

After entering the door, Song Yanxi finally understood why the family did not lock the door when they left.

It was exactly the same as what was described in the book: a house with nothing but bare walls.

There was only a square table in the main hall as you entered the door. One of the legs of the table was broken, and it was barely balanced by being padded with broken tiles.

The two benches next to it are obviously made of discarded wood. Apart from being useful for sitting, they have nothing to do with appearance.

The house was not big, but it was very clean. Even the patched bedding on the bed in the inner room was neatly folded.

Song Yanxi opened the cabinet beside her and the neatly stacked clothes inside confirmed her guess.

The owner of the house was most likely a former soldier and was disabled.

Judging from the wear and tear on the shoe next to it, the injury should be on the right leg.

Putting the silver in a corner of the cabinet, Song Yanxi picked up a set of clothes and put them on the bed, then turned and walked out.

Xi Lin was waiting at the door. When he saw her come out, he said reluctantly, "We agreed that I won't wear anyone's clothes."

Song Yanxi glanced at him and said, "The clothes are next to the bed. Doctor Xi, please be careful not to dirty other people's beds when you change your wet clothes.

I'll see if there's any dry firewood in the kitchen so I can boil some hot water to get rid of the cold."

Xi Lin waved his hand, "I'm not that squeamish, finding someone is more important."

Song Yanxi glanced at the sky outside and said in a deep voice, "It's better to drink a little. After all, we're going to stay here all night."

Xi Lin, who had just stepped into the house, turned around suddenly and asked, "What did you say?"

"Boom!" Thunder exploded.

The next moment, raindrops as big as beans came pouring down.

Listening to the "crackling" sound of raindrops hitting the tiles, Xi Lin pointed his finger at the top of his head and started to curse.

Before he could speak, Song Yanxi reminded him, "Divine Doctor Xi, some things are better to believe than not to believe."

She has the chance to start over again, so what is impossible?

Xi Lin's eyes widened with anger. He took a deep breath and went into the house to change his clothes.

Soon, his disgusted voice came from inside, "My servants don't even wear this kind of coarse cloth. Where did you find this tattered clothes?

"Shh, it hurts to touch, and it would be painful to wear."

Song Yanxi thought for a moment and said, "If Doctor Xi doesn't mind, I can give you my clothes and I'll wear the coarse clothes."

As soon as the voice fell, Xi Lin cursed: "You vicious woman!

How can I, a man of seven feet tall, wear women's clothes?"

Amidst his cursing, Song Yanxi entered the kitchen on the other side of the house.

Against the wall, there were neatly stacked pieces of wood that were as tall as a person, and a few pieces of dried meat and some mountain products were hung on the ropes next to them.

Smelling the faint aroma of food in the room, Song Yanxi walked forward and touched the stove, which was still warm.

She didn't feel comfortable touching the food in the pot, so she just took a piece of silver and placed it next to the stove. She scooped a few scoops of water with a wooden ladle and used a clay pot hanging on the ground to make a fire and boil the water.

She had smelled the water used to clean the pottery jar. It had been used to boil herbs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis not long ago. Although the boiled water had a bit of bitterness, it would not harm the body.

The clay pot was not big, and the water inside soon began to bubble.

Just as Song Yanxi was about to find two bowls to hold water, she heard an angry shout from outside, "Who!"

The next moment, a figure quickly walked into the kitchen.

The moment he saw Song Yanxi, the man was stunned, and the ferocious expression on his face turned into confusion in an instant.

The man scratched his head and muttered softly, "How can you be horny in the middle of the day?"

His voice was not loud, and there was the noisy sound of rain outside, but the room was too small.

After hearing what he said clearly, Song Yanxi was also stunned, and hurriedly explained: "Don't blame me, brave man, it is really wrong for the two of us to come here uninvited."

Realizing he wasn't dreaming, the man's face flushed red and he stammered, "You... who are you?"

Hearing that they came to look for someone, but were trapped in the village by heavy rain and had no choice but to stay temporarily at his house, the man's expression was inevitably a little subtle.

However, Song Yanxi could see that the host was not angry about the arrival of these two uninvited guests.

She apologized, "We were at fault for what happened today, you..."

The man interrupted her and said, "Miss, you just mentioned the two of you. Where is your companion?"
