Chapter 1009 Come Back with Me Quickly

Three days later.

Song Chunxue lay listlessly on the soft bed, looking at the yellow earth above her head and the bats that hadn't returned for a long time. She thought to herself that it was good that a barrier had been set up here.

She never imagined that her fasting would take place under such circumstances.

Xie Zheng went outside to do laundry, and while he was at it, he sewed clothes for her under the sun.

Ha, it's already torn to shreds, she still doesn't want it even if it's sewn up.

What a wonderful dual cultivation technique! She seriously suspected that she herself was a furnace or cauldron.

Otherwise, why would she be so useless, while others not only do laundry and boil water, but also catch a rabbit for her to roast?

Without salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder, it tastes awful.

Remembering that Master Han had given them an order to memorize the booklet perfectly within five days, Song Chunxue sat up, her mind blank, unable to memorize it at all.

"The Law of All Things..."

She wasn't actually that sleepy, but after glancing at it twice, she fell asleep immediately.

On the fifth day, she was still in the cave, with Xie Zheng by her side.

On the seventh day, she told Xie Zheng to go back, and she went back to the fort in Zhuanglang County to recuperate.

"Ah Xue, I'm worried about you like this. Let me take you home first..."

"Get out of here, I can go by myself." Song Chunxue's attitude was firm. "Anyway, no matter how you try to explain it, I don't want to see you for the next two weeks."

Xie Zheng panicked and lifted her up in his arms. "Ah Xue, if you're angry, you can hit or scold me as you please, but you can't ignore me, or we'll just stay here."

Song Chunxue covered her face, "If you kiss me again, I'll..."

"Ah Xue, I'm so sorry, it's my fault. I'll never eat that kind of stuff again. Or you can come back, I..."

"Slap." She raised her hand and gently slapped him, not because she didn't want to put in the effort, but because she didn't have the strength.

"Xie Zheng, I never expected you to be such a scoundrel..."

“If you don’t want to see me, I’ll take you back to Li Family Village right now and have everyone persuade you.”

"..." Song Chunxue closed her eyes. "You win. I'm keeping track of this. Just you wait."

“Okay,” he said like a woodpecker, “I’m ready to settle accounts with Sister Song anytime.”

"Shut up!" she snapped, exasperated.

"Are you in a hurry to get a prescription from the doctor?" Xie Zheng said, coaxing the person onto his lap like a child, and took out a pill. "This is a contraceptive pill."

Contraceptive pill?

Looking at the pills in his hand, Song Chunxue was slightly taken aback; he was indeed very thoughtful.

No, why would he prepare these things?

And that bed, was it prepared in the storage ring a long time ago?

As expected, the seemingly refined Lord Xie has an unexpected side.

I was going to make a joke, but after looking down at my miserable state, I decided it was best not to make myself miserable.

"Keep it safe," he said, pulling Song Chunxue onto the sword. "I'll take you home first, then I'll go to your house."

That's good, so she won't lose her balance and fall off the sword.

Actually, she was starving and wanted to eat something hot.

They went straight into the fortress. The courtyard was quiet. Xie Zheng helped her into the house. "You rest first. I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water and cook you a bowl of noodles."

Song Chunxue lay lazily on the bed, "Can you cook noodles?"

"Yes, of course I will." Xie Zheng tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'll make you a couple of sets of clothes before we go back. You can go to sleep now."

Song Chunxue slept for a long time.

Midway through, she heard someone knock on the door, come in, put down their things, and then leave.

The soup noodles smelled so tempting that she ate them with her eyes half-closed, then leaned back and continued to sleep.

...

Two days later, Song Chunxue finally got up to meditate.

Around noon, she heard voices coming from the courtyard.

One of them was Li Dazui, and the other was a woman who must have been quite old.

Could it be that Li Dazui has found a lover too?

This is a good thing.

She estimated that if Li Dazui could find someone to live with, he would soon return to Li Family Village.

That's where his roots are, a place he can never leave behind.

Once she regained her strength, she went to the kitchen, boiled some water, and brewed some steamed Solomon's Seal with it. She felt almost fully recovered.

She hadn't decided when to go back, nor did she know if her group of people were still in Lijiazhuang.

A short while later, Li Dazui came in from outside.

He exclaimed, "Ouch!"

"You gave me quite a fright! You've finally woken up." Li Dazui laughed. "Lord Xie brought you here. He said you were poisoned and asked me to keep an eye on things and bring you some food. I didn't dare disturb you. I didn't expect you to recover so quickly."

"I asked him why he didn't stay to take care of you, and Master Xie said that he was the one who caused your poisoning. He said he would go back to meet up with his fellow disciples first and come back to find you after you calmed down."

As he spoke, Li Dazui chuckled and pulled over a chair to sit down, his clothes revealing their original color for once. "What kind of poison have you been given? You can sleep so much?"

"..." Ha, hehe, hehehe, what a poisoning! Song Chunxue laughed in anger, and could only manage a bitter laugh.

"Never mind, look at Lord Xie's beaming face..."

"Alright, let's not talk about this," Song Chunxue didn't want to be an old nun obsessed with love. "I heard you came here with a woman. Have you found someone you love?"

Hehehe, hehe.

At this point, the unkempt Li Dazui suddenly became shy, clasped his hands in front of him, and sat up straight like a sixteen-year-old girl, grinning foolishly.

"Eek~" Song Chunxue wanted to criticize him, but then she remembered that she was only a few years younger than him and was like Xie Zheng, and she instantly felt that she had no right to say anything to him.

So what if you're old? You can still feel love; it's human nature.

Time waits for no one; the exterior may age, but when the heart encounters special people and events, it will forget everything external and act solely on instinct to experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Would someone be willing to go home with you and stay with you in Lijiazhuang until you grow old?" After knowing him for many years, she wanted to know his plans.

"Yes, she's willing." Li Dazui tilted his head and smiled broadly, his eyes and mouth filled with joy. "I was planning to take her back in a few days. I was going to write to you, but I didn't expect you to come."

At this point, he apologized somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I promised to look after your yard, but I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise."

"What's the big deal? You can leave the housekeeping to someone else, but someone who promises to stay with you until you're old is someone you might only meet once in your life. You should cherish them."

Song Chunxue took a sip of tea. "Why don't you go and ask them? It would be fine to go back in the next couple of days."

Li Dazui stood up. "Alright, I know where Hongying's house is. Leave the rest to me. You go find Lord Xie."

"Um?"

“He came twice in between, and you could tell he was very worried about you,” Li Dazui said with a sigh. “Lord Xie is just different from us. He’s only a year younger than you, but he’s so well-preserved. It’s truly enviable.”

"But I haven't..."

“Oh right, the woman from the capital is complaining that I haven’t bathed. Get ready, I’m going out for a bit.” Li Dazui laughed again. “I saw your big bathtub, I’ll buy her one when I get back.”

"..." Song Chunxue covered her face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

At that moment, a figure landed in the courtyard.

"Junior brother, come back with me quickly. A group of unreasonable people have come to your house, claiming to be Sanwa's uncles."
