Chapter 146
If Shen Jiao was Xue Shun, if she encountered such a thing, she would definitely go and see. There might not be any gods, but maybe she could see some hermit or sage.
Or it would be fun to expose a charlatan.
Unfortunately she is not.
Shen Jiao waited until Xue Shun woke up and asked him, but Xue Shun was only concerned about two things.
"Is this the same person as before?"
"Didn't the higher-ups tell you?"
"Did he do anything unusual? Did he harm anyone?"
"I didn't say, but I guess not. This is intelligence, not an indictment."
"Send two people to take a look. If there's nothing unusual, don't bother. Perhaps they've run into some kind-hearted expert or monster. They're harmless, so why bother disturbing them?"
"Just want to get her..." Shen Jiao muttered softly.
Xue Shun frowned and objected: "We are not bandits. Don't try to get everything you see for yourself."
Shen Jiao was disappointed: "Okay... I understand..."
Xue Shun glanced at her and said, "If you want to drink, I'll treat you."
Shen Jiao was bored: "I don't like drinking."
What she loved was that the wine could make her look younger. Although she didn't need it at her age, if she needed it someday, she could sell it.
Xue Shun knew what she was thinking without asking, and said, "Forget it, have you finished reading everything else?"
"I've finished reading it."
"Nothing messed up, did you?"
"If you're not sure, just take another look yourself," Shen Jiao said unhappily. "Do you think I'm such a fool? I'm waiting for you to decide on the only fun thing I'm going to do."
"I didn't say that, but I was just asking."
While coaxing him, Xue Shun took out two books and opened them to read.
Shen Jiao looked at him meaningfully until he put it down, then he hummed, "Sir, I'm afraid you're asking this with your eyes. Are you relieved now?"
Xue Shun smiled at her: "I'm naturally relieved when you do things."
Shen Jiao was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "Young Master, you've also learned to lie. The world is truly changing, and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be."
Xue Shun: ...
"Good sister, I just woke up, don't play with me. If everything is fine here, let's go to the clinic and take a look, then come back and find a place to sleep. I'm really not feeling well, but I don't have the energy to make trouble with you."
Shen Jiao nodded reluctantly: "Alright, I knew it. You are a man of business now, so why would you chat with a slave girl?"
Xue Shun:!
"Have you lost your conscience? How can you say such a thing?"
He was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned cold, he raised his finger to point at her and wanted to curse, but couldn't say it, finally he slammed the table angrily and cursed,
"I was so blind that I thought you were a good person."
Then he turned his sleeves and left.
"Hey..." Shen Jiao called him softly.
Xue Shun didn't hear clearly, but he stopped at the door and turned around and said, "Why don't you follow me? Do you want to stay here by yourself?"
Shen Jiao thought it was okay, but seeing him like that, she didn't dare to say it.
She pursed her lips, acted aggrieved and chased after him.
She was pretending to be aggrieved, but Xue Shun really had a choking throat.
After walking silently for a while and driving away those who wanted to follow them, Xue Shun couldn't help but glare at Shen Jiao again.
He had a lot of grievances in his heart and wanted to say them, but he felt that there was no point in saying them. It was his fault that he was blind and met such a heartless person. How could he hurt him every day? So he said whatever he wanted.
Maybe they were enemies from previous lives.
Once everything is destroyed in her hands, it will be over.
Xue Shun thought somewhat sadly.
The look he gave her was even more complicated.
Shen Jiao: "Young Master..."
She called out and wanted to say something, but Xue Shun turned his head away, grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go."
He got better on his own without Shen Jiao's help.
Although he still looked a little unhappy, it did not prevent him from holding Shen Jiao's hand tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her.
Whenever Shen Jiao saw him like this, he could only think of one sentence - drinking poison to quench thirst is tantamount to digging your own grave.
But who makes her so likable?
Shen Jiao inserted her fingers between Xue Shun's, clasped his hand and said, "Young Master, you should eat something. You're too thin, and it hurts to hold your hand."
Xue Shun tightened his grip and said coldly, "Just bear with it."
Not only did he not eat lunch, he also didn't eat dinner. He even forbade Shen Jiao to eat in front of him, as if rice was something disgusting, especially the plate of scallion tofu.
The way he looked at that thing was as if he was facing a great enemy.
Shen Jiao ate half of the plate before he remembered what happened on the day Chuge Tower collapsed. He thought to himself:
No way?
Could it be that Xue Shun was scared?
He ate something that night when he was busy at the clinic, including a few bites of breakfast, so why did he become unwell afterwards?
His counterattack is too slow, isn't it?
It's just a little brain matter, you don't even want to eat tofu?
Doesn't that mean he won't eat bones and blood sausage anymore?
It seemed that when he was hunting, he couldn't eat after seeing the miserable state of others.
But this is right, right?
Shen Jiao didn't have that idea at all and would eat it all the time, so she didn't really understand what Xue Shun was thinking.
After being persuaded twice, he still refused to take the medicine, so Shen Jiao had no choice but to tell him to take the medicine and go to bed, and reminded him: "If you don't take it tomorrow, I will force you to drink it directly."
Xue Shun said sternly, "How dare you!"
Shen Jiao: "I dare."
Xue Shun looked at her angrily. Shen Jiao said, "I will apologize to you, Master."
If she pleads guilty, can Xue Shun punish her?
Isn't this just taking off your pants to fart? It's a waste of time.
Seeing that he didn't look at her or speak, Shen Jiao took the initiative to move closer and said, "Sir, instead of getting angry, why don't you think about what you want to eat? That way, when I feed you, you can be happier."
Xue Shun listened to her words becoming increasingly unreasonable, and finally said, "I don't want to eat."
"Don't think about it," Shen Jiao frowned, looking rather unkind. "If you don't want to eat, how about trying something to drink? Porridge or soup is always better than medicine."
Xue Shun took the medicine happily. Shen Jiao asked, "Could it be that you've already taken to taking medicine? Then I'll find Doctor Wei tomorrow and get him two more doses of medicine for you."
Xue Shun: "Shen Jiao!"
"Here I am."
Shen Jiao could completely ignore Xue Shun's anger and still had a smiling face.
But if his eyes turned red and he was about to cry, Shen Jiao would not be able to smile anymore.
"I feel sick. Don't force me to eat it, and don't tell anyone... Please, I'll eat it if I can't stand it."
Shen Jiao slowly suppressed her smile, moved closer and hugged him.
"I'll go buy some fasting pills."
"Don't look for Wei Qian."
"I know."
Any pharmacy would have something like this. It wasn't Shen Jiao who paid for it, so she wouldn't be so frugal.
Xue Shun was still worried: "Let's go tomorrow. I'll go with you."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Shen Jiao was also reluctant to go alone. Although he had already left Qishui County, what if the Five Guests of Huangmei still caught up with him? With Xue Shun there, he would have someone to accompany him if he died, and someone to rescue him if he was captured.
There are only advantages and no disadvantages, so it's always better to be cautious.
