Chapter 6 Labor

He walked over gracefully and saw that the girl had a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead, her long hair was casually tied up, her face was rosy, and her bright eyes were fixed on a patch of herbs at her feet, which she then carefully sprinkled with water.

Sensing someone approaching, she looked up and saw a man walking towards her.

"Hey, you're awake. Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

While talking, he didn't neglect his work, keeping a close eye on the herbs under his feet, afraid of spilling too much water.

"I feel much better, thank you for taking care of me."

"Does anything come to mind?"

"Still nothing. I try to think, and then my head starts to ache."

"Then I'll look into it another day and try using silver needles to prick you to see if it has any effect."

Ye Bosen looked at her and nodded. "Okay."

"By the way, you don't even know your name, and we can't keep calling you 'Hey Hey Hey' forever, can we? How about I give you a name?"

After the girl finished speaking, she looked at her with bright, mischievous eyes.

Seeing her eager expression, Ye Bosen knew that she had already decided on her name.

He paused; "Whatever."

"Really? Then I can go wherever I want!" the girl said with delight.

Seeing her happy expression, Ye Bosen smiled slightly and nodded.

"Then I'll call you... Asen! Hehehe, you'll be called Asen from now on!" The girl's eyes and eyebrows seemed to be smiling.

Upon hearing the name, Ye Bosen frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"What's wrong? Didn't you like it?" The girl looked at his expression, a little disappointed.

"No, it's just... whatever makes you happy," Ye Bosen said.

"I just remembered that I found you in the forest, so I named you Asen!" the girl explained.

"It sounds beautiful."

"Okay, it's settled then."

"By the way, I still don't know your name."

"I, oh, my name is Xiao Qianqian, they all call me Qianqian."

"Okay, Qianqian." The man thought the name sounded very nice.

"By the way, is there anything I can do for you?"

Seeing that she was talking and busy at the same time, Ye Bosen thought he would help her.

Xiao Qianqian wasn't one to be coy, so she was naturally very happy to help since someone was willing to.

Do you know how to carry water?

"Fetch water?" Ye Bosen looked at her in confusion, clearly unsure of what to do.

"Yes, it's very simple. Come on, let me demonstrate for you."

Xiao Qianqian carried the empty buckets to the riverbank. She took the buckets down, stood on the riverbank, dipped one hand into the water, and then lifted it up and placed it on the bank. She did the same with the other bucket.

Then she picked up the two buckets and walked quickly toward the medicinal herb field. Ye Bosen, who was behind her, widened his eyes. Each bucket with water must weigh at least thirty pounds, and she could lift it with one hand. Now she was carrying two buckets of water with light steps, and you couldn't tell at all that she was carrying water, or rather, sixty pounds of water.

"Have you practiced this before?" Ye Bosen couldn't help but ask from behind.

"Yes, I was sent to my master when I was young and suffered a lot from his torment. Carrying water, chopping wood, catching poisonous snakes and insects were all things I did every day, regardless of the cold or heat. Sometimes I even had to go up cliffs to pick herbs. That's how I got these skills."

"The reason I was able to find you that day was because I went up the mountain to catch poisonous snakes and insects. Otherwise, you would have lost your life. My master also said that if you hadn't met me that night, you would have become a corpse the next day. Even a great immortal couldn't save you. That poison was very potent."

"Thank you." Ye Bosen hadn't expected this young girl to possess such skills at such a young age. He admired her greatly, but at the same time, a pang of heartache flashed through his heart. Yes, heartache. He didn't know why he felt this way.

As she spoke, Xiao Qianqian had already carried the water to the medicinal herb field.

"After you finish watering with these two buckets, you can carry them back. Is that alright?"

"Yeah, no problem." The man wasn't sure if he could handle it, so he just casually agreed.

"By the way, I didn't see the master today?"

"Master, he went up the mountain to gather herbs."

"You've planted so many herbs in this field, are you still going to harvest them?"

"These herbs are far from enough. My third senior brother runs a traditional Chinese medicine shop and needs a lot of herbs. The herbs we grow simply cannot supply the demand. Besides, some herbs have different ages; the older the herbs, the stronger their medicinal properties. There are also some herbs that are not suitable for artificial cultivation. Therefore, my master and I often need to go up the mountain to collect herbs."

"So that's how it is."

As she was talking, Xiao Qianqian finished watering the plants in the bucket.

"Alright, go fetch the water, I'm done watering."

"Okay." Ye Bosen walked to the riverbank and, imitating Xiao Qianqian's actions, immersed the bucket in the water. He tried to lift the bucket, but it felt unusually heavy.

But he gritted his teeth and walked step by step toward the medicinal herb field. With each step, the bucket swayed, and water splashed out continuously.

Finally, he reached the herb field and carefully placed the bucket down. But upon closer inspection, only half a bucket remained. Ye Bosen felt a little embarrassed and awkwardly touched his nose. "I was scattering water as I walked, and now there's only half a bucket left."

"It's okay. I was the same way when I first started. You'll get used to it after a few tries."

Ye Bosen didn't expect her to comfort him, and nodded.

Ye Bosen tried fetching water again, this time being more careful to avoid spilling any. When he carried the water back to the herb garden, Xiao Qianqian smiled and praised his progress. Working together, the two quickly finished the watering.

The two carried the empty bucket back to the cabin. When Little Yellow saw its owners return, it barked affectionately and wagged its tail.

'It seems this wolf likes you a lot?'

“Yes, I’m her savior. Once, when I was gathering herbs in the mountains, I found her injured by other animals, bleeding a lot. She was just a wolf cub then, looking so pitiful. So I took her home, treated her wounds, and fed her milk, and she slowly recovered. Later, I thought of releasing her back into the forest, but she refused to go back, so I’ve kept her ever since. But to be honest, I feel like I can’t live without her now; she’s like family to me.” Looking at the warmth on the girl’s face, Ye Bosen was very moved. She was a kind girl.

Looking at Xiao Qianqian, Ye Bosen felt a warm feeling rise in his heart. He realized that he had developed special feelings for this kind and strong girl.

"Qianqian, besides gathering herbs, what else do you like to do?" Ye Bosen asked curiously.

"I love reading, especially books about medicine and herbs. I dream of one day becoming an excellent traditional Chinese medicine doctor and saving more lives." Xiao Qianqian's eyes shone with determination.

"Your dream is wonderful, and I believe you can achieve it."

"Thanks."

"By the way, you just said your third senior brother owns a pharmacy. Do you have several senior brothers?"

"Yes, Master took in five disciples in total. I'm the youngest, and also his last disciple."
