The thin and misty fog floats slowly, as if covering the mountains with a layer of gauze.

The fresh air with a hint of sweetness was inhaled into the lungs and then exhaled, and the entire chest seemed to be purified.

As usual, Shen Yizi drank a glass of spiritual spring water and started running around the house.

Her house was located at the end of the village, close to the foot of the mountain. It was abandoned by its owner because it was often visited by wild beasts.

Therefore, the surrounding area seems very empty.

She still has a lot of space for exercise.

The grass was dotted with crystal dewdrops. After running a few laps, her trouser legs and feet were wet.

After the exercise, the sun had risen completely, shooting out golden rays from between the clouds, giving the clouds a layer of golden edges.

Shen Yizi stood facing the warm morning sun for a while, calmed his breath, then returned home and started washing and making breakfast.

The clay pot of chicken soup that she put in the stove yesterday was now ready. As soon as she opened the lid, a rich aroma wafted out.

She cooked a pot of noodles with chicken soup, added a handful of tender spinach, and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions. The taste was simply amazing! Her cooking skills were obviously just ordinary, but the ingredients here were all natural and pollution-free, and with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, the food she made was simply beautiful to a certain level.

Shen Yizi scooped up a bowl of noodles and cut them into sections to make it easier for Qing Bao to scoop them up with his small spoon.

Qingbao moved his little mouth smackingly, eating very obediently and quickly, and didn't need her to coax him at all.

In the end, he not only ate all the noodles, but also drank up all the soup. Then, looking at the empty bowl, he actually wanted another bowl.

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but laugh, and touched his bulging belly, "Baby, if you eat more, you'll feel full. Be good, and mother will make you something delicious at noon."

“Delicious?”

"Yes, it's delicious."

Qingbao was satisfied, slid down from the stool, and ran to the yard to play.

Shen Yizi went into the kitchen and processed the striped rat snake. He chopped the meat into fine pieces, added egg liquid and flour, and kneaded it into a relatively loose dough. He then squeezed the dough into small meatballs and fried them in a frying pan.

That's right, she wanted to make snake meat croquettes as snacks for Qingbao.

Put it in the space so he can eat it whenever he is hungry.

Then, she heated up the can of chicken soup and the leftover chicken and yam stew from last night, cooked another pot of rice, pinched it into easy-to-eat rice balls, and put them all into the space.

Seeing that it was almost mid-morning, Shen Yizi carried the medicine basket, took Qing Bao with him, locked the door, and went into the mountains.

One was to collect herbs, and the other was to deliver food to that handsome man in black.

Originally, she didn't want to care about him at all, but when she took her own pulse yesterday, she didn't find any symptoms of poisoning.

There are two possibilities. One is that the poison he gave her was very sophisticated and she could not detect it. The other is that he was lying to her and did not actually poison her.

The two possibilities are fifty-fifty, and Shen Yizi has no way of being sure, so for the sake of her own life, she decided to go.

By the river, three or five women were washing clothes on the bluestone slabs on the shore.

Old Mrs. Wang is here too.

A woman with a long face and a flat nose asked curiously, "Auntie, did Yao Niang really ruin San Jin's life?"

"Of course! Poor Sanjin, such an honest child, but he was seduced by that bitch! It was clearly her who shamelessly seduced my son, but now she has turned against me!"

Old Mrs. Wang beat the clothes with a mallet as hard as she could, as if she mistook the clothes for Shen Yizi.

The woman with the flat nose became more and more excited. "I told you, even though that medicine girl has a disfigured face, she is actually still restless inside. She dresses seductively all day long, who is she showing off to?"

Old Lady Wang seemed to have found an ally in an instant, "You think so too? When she first appeared in our village, I knew she was not a good person..."

The two of them got together and talked a lot, throwing all kinds of dirty water on Shen Yizhi, as if they could get great satisfaction from doing so.

Finally, the woman with the flat nose whispered, "She ruined San Jin's roots, so she has to be San Jin's wife and serve him! As long as she enters your house, she will be at your mercy. If you beat her or scold her, and she dares to say a word back, it will be a great act of unfilial piety!"

The more Mrs. Wang listened, the more excited she became. Why didn't she think of this at the time? Once she got in, she would have to work like a slave for her! All the money she earned would be handed over!

As for that fatherless bastard, just sell him and you can get some money to spend! "But this bitch is very noble, I'm afraid she won't agree."

"Auntie, if we do this... we're not afraid that she won't give in!"

The woman with the flat nose gave her some advice.

The woman's surname is Zhang. She had also received help from the medicine lady. When she had irregular menstruation, it was the medicine lady who cured her. In order to thank the medicine lady, her husband Li Changgen helped her with physical work several times.

Zhang always suspected that Li Changgen was seduced by Yao Niang. She didn't say anything, but she was furious in her heart. Later, she began to dislike Yao Niang in every way.

I hope she gets into trouble.

Shen Yizi didn't know all this, as she was picking herbs in the woods at the time.

She was lucky today, and she picked a lot of medicinal herbs along the way, and even came across a vintage ginseng. After picking the ginseng, the sun was already high, and Shen Yizhi hurried to the place where she had been yesterday.

But when I arrived at the place, I didn’t see anyone. Could he have left?

When Gu Xueting came back, he saw Shen Yizhi squatting by the water fishing. He threw the wild boar in his hand to the ground.

Shen Yizi was startled by the dull sound, and turned around to see him standing behind him.

There was a trace of blood on his cheek, but it did not destroy the overall beauty. Instead, it added a sense of cold and wildness.

When he looked over, Shen Yizi's heartbeat became uncontrollable again.

She picked up the medicine basket and walked over, taking out the food inside while saying, "By the way, my last name is Shen, Shen Yizhi, may I know your name, sir?"

Gu Xueting only uttered one word: "Gu."

Shen Yizhi, who had his back to him, rolled his eyes. Would he die if he said one more word? "Here, Mr. Gu, eat."

Shen Yizhi pointed to the food placed on the big rock.

There was a dish of vermicelli and pheasant soup, a dish of snake meat croquettes, and a few rice balls in the bowl.

Gu Xueting walked over, picked up the rice ball and took a bite. It tasted fragrant and sweet, and had a richer taste than the tribute green glutinous rice.

The vermicelli pheasant soup is tender and mellow, and the soup is not greasy at all, fresh and fragrant. The vermicelli is smooth and bouncy, and tastes even better than shark fin.

The fried meatballs are also fresh and tasty, springy but not sticky, and very addictive.

The two dishes and one rice looked simple, but they were more to his taste than any of the delicious meals that the imperial chef had painstakingly prepared.

Gu Xueting couldn't help but glance at Shen Yizi.

Shen Yizhi sat on a rock, holding his chin with his hands and watching him eat.

He chewed slowly, without making any sound, and every move was calm and elegant.

It was the first time for her to see someone eat so pleasingly. Of course, it was mainly because of that face that was so lethal.
