Chapter 121
People are inherently complicated.
Qiongzhi finds it hard to accept Shen Jiao's cruelty, but she can't help but miss her gentle nature.
Even though that was probably just a disguise, she did look very sincere...
If only she were a good person.
Even if a bad guy pretends to be good his whole life, it's fine. Unfortunately...
well……
Qiongzhi sighed in her heart.
As he walked past Shen Jiao's window, he couldn't help but listen to what was going on inside. He heard Shen Jiao say to Xue Shun, "Sighing all the time makes you old."
She didn't hear how Xue Shun responded.
I added in my mind: Xin Shenjiao will make people die.
In comparison, does age matter?
Qiongzhi went back to the house with her shoulders drooping weakly to apply medicine.
On the other side, Shen Jiao lifted a lock of Xue Shun's hair with her fingernails, looked at it again and again, and said with certainty: "Look, there are white hairs."
"Where?!" Xue Shun put down the jar of medicine, took the strand of hair, found the white one, and quickly pulled it out by the roots. He searched again and found that there were already several strands.
He is not yet twenty.
Xue Shun felt extremely upset. He threw his hair behind him, thinking that out of sight, out of mind, he was feeling annoyed.
Shen Jiao even offered him a bad idea: "Why not shave it all off? It might look better if it grows back."
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Xue Shun rolled his eyes at her and silently applied the medicine to her. After sitting for a while, he asked with a squinting look, pretending to be indifferent, "Is it ugly?"
"Not really," Shen Jiao said proudly, flipping through the storybook and leaning on the bed to support her legs. "It's not like everyone has such good eyesight as this servant. If you're not paying attention, you won't see it. Sir, don't mind it."
Xue Shun was not comforted at all and said, "Then you should just pull it out for me. Why should I care whether others see it or not?"
Shen Jiao leaned forward to check his expression and said slowly, "But, sir, being bald... seems to be even uglier, right?"
Xue Shun:!
"I don't have many white hairs, okay? You think I'm an old man."
Xue Shun also had a temper, but he was still very weak and his shouting was powerless.
Shen Jiao wasn't afraid at all, still looking at him with a smile: "Don't be angry, my lord, you don't have too many white hairs. Just take some Five Black Pills and it will be fine. Otherwise, when I get better, I'll make some black oil ointment and dye it back for you."
Xue Shun: ...
"Isn't that something only used by the elderly?"
Seeing that he was really sad, Shen Jiao advised: "Not necessarily, it can also be used when you have premature gray hair."
Xue Shun: ...
"If you laugh again I'll get mad."
"I'm not laughing." Shen Jiao pressed her mouth down.
Xue Shun was still annoyed: "Of course not, your eyes are smiling, your face is smiling, your mouth..."
Xue Shun pinched her face and said angrily: "It's not a good mouth."
"Look at what you're saying, young master," Shen Jiao said, pretending to be sad, "it's as if you've forgotten the time when we were so close and so affectionate. Back then, young master didn't mind it at all."
Xue Shun:!
Why is this person like this!
Xue Shun retracted his hand, turned his back to her awkwardly, and turned his head away.
Shen Jiao continued to tease, "Sir, why are you turning your face away? Are you angry, or are you blushing?"
Xue Shun squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Angry."
Shen Jiao nodded: "Then he must be very angry, even his neck and ears are so red."
Shen Jiao, whose leg was broken, probably also had a broken mouth, and once again teased Xue Shun into running away.
Yuge'er came in with the medicine and shook her head, saying, "Why do you torture the young master like this? He's really doing this for your own good, and you just keep irritating him every day."
Shen Jiao said with a smile: "Good fisherman, I can't stay here. He won't even let me go to the fields here. It's better not to come. Let's just recuperate on our own."
Shen Jiao's legs looked scary, but in fact, only a layer of skin was worn away. She felt very painful after crawling in the tomb for a long time, which was also because of the fish oil.
It doesn't interfere with walking at all.
But Xue Shun didn't think so. He didn't even stay in bed quietly, but insisted on looking at her.
He had almost delayed their important work. Now that he was gone, Shen Jiao finally had the chance to ask Yuge'er, "What's going on in the village lately? How was the monster dealt with?"
Yuge'er glanced at her, handed her the medicine bowl, and said, "How would I know? That's something the masters have to worry about. Why are you asking?"
"I'm curious. You know, I was badly harmed by that monster this time, and Master Feng died because of it. Naturally, I want to know how the masters will deal with it."
Yuge'er didn't say whether she believed it or not. She quietly packed up the white cloth, scissors, and the jar of medicine and said, "I'll tell you if I hear anything. Drink the medicine quickly. I still have work to do."
"Good fisherman, wait a few more days and I'll go and do it with you. You can rest more and I'll take care of you."
Shen Jiao's sweet words are free.
Yuge'er said honestly, "You won't be well for two days. Don't sneak out, or I'll have to take care of you even longer."
"Okay..." Shen Jiao put aside her thoughts and said with a look of concern, "Is Doctor Wei feeling better? I haven't seen him much these past few days."
Speaking of this fisherman's song, there is something to say!
"That bastard is still feigning illness. He wants beef, and dancing beef. Liangua has already gone to find it. I think there's no point in bothering him. Maybe we should just buy a cow and stuff it into his stomach. He'll be satisfied for six months."
Wei Qian has been making a lot of trouble these days, even the most silent fisherman Ge'er is complaining.
Shen Jiao asked curiously, "Why don't you ask Tianlongdimu to go? Didn't they help run errands in the past?"
"We originally wanted to let them go, but Doctor Wei said he wanted to treat them and was taking them to try medicine. We thought if they could really get better, it would be a good deed, and the hard work would be worth it.
Besides, the work in the hospital isn't too much, and the three of us can still handle it. You can just take care of yourself and when you get better, we won't let you slack off if you want to."
Yuge'er can be quite talkative sometimes.
You just need to be more patient and tell her what she wants to say, so that you can get a few more words out of her.
Shen Jiao took the responsibility and said, "Just wait for me. Leave all the unfinished work for me. Otherwise, I will feel sorry for you if you just sit there and watch."
"Hmph," Yuge'er didn't believe a word of this. She took the medicine bowl back and said as she walked out, "Keep your heart and go take care of the young master. We don't need it when we are well."
Xue Shun has looked so haggard recently that it is really unbearable to watch.
Of course, Shen Jiao is not among these people.
She muttered, "Why keep any? I might have enough, so everyone can have one."
The fisherman's song could no longer be heard as he walked away quickly.
She sighed to herself and lay down bored.
I'm really worried about whether something will happen next.
But thinking too much was useless, so she simply stopped thinking about it, covered her head with the quilt, and fell asleep again...
