Chapter 154: Professional Vengeance
"It was you who told me that plantain could stop bleeding back then."
Recalling the misunderstanding, Yuan Siyin still felt a lingering fear: "The time with the artificial hill? How do you still remember that?"
It's been almost a year and you still remember it so clearly. Are you a professional grudge-holder?
She was inwardly groaning.
"Yes, Liu Huai even praised you, saying your medical skills are quite good."
"I don't know any medical skills. I just happened to see it when I was flipping through a medical book."
If we count Baidu Baike (Baidu Encyclopedia).
"Besides, if I knew medicine, I would have cured this plague long ago."
When this topic came up, Yuan Siyin suddenly remembered to ask him, "By the way, how did you manage to do that..."
“We’ve been walking for so long and haven’t seen a single herb,” Yu Shiyan suddenly said.
"Just ahead is a field of wild honeysuckle, an entire field full of honeysuckle."
Yuan Siyin originally wanted to say that this was a necessary route up the mountain, but when she thought about how Yu Shiyan had been secretly kidnapped, she didn't dare to mention it.
However, after being interrupted like this, she didn't continue asking the question she originally wanted to ask.
"Look, we've arrived." Yuan Siyin stopped and pointed it out to him.
The vast honeysuckle field seemed to stretch endlessly, with tender leaves and flower buds scattered all over the ground. The cool sunlight shone down, gilding the flowers with a faint golden hue, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
A gentle spring breeze caresses your face, carrying a soft floral fragrance that is intoxicating.
Yu Shiyan put down the medicine basket and stood quietly watching Yuan Siyin skip and hop around the flowers and leaves, happily darting through the field ridges. Her figure was agile and charming, like a cheerful little sparrow.
"Hurry up and gather the herbs, we'll be back for lunch soon!"
Yuan Siyin turned around and waved to him, holding a handful of freshly picked honeysuckle in her arms, the petals still glistening with morning dew.
"They're here."
Yu Shiyan responded and walked towards her: "Are you planning to go to the border region next?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Siyin paused, but continued with her work: "Yes, I came out this time for my father. I've been delayed for quite some time along the way. Once the epidemic in Qingfeng Village has subsided, I should leave."
Yu Shiyan remained silent.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you be heading back to Beijing by now?"
Judging by the timing, the power struggle in the imperial court is about to begin. If the previous struggles were covert, what follows will be a fierce open battle.
Si Fangming was keeping an eye on things in the capital. He was always thorough and meticulous in his work, so Yuan Siyin was relatively at ease. However, she knew nothing about the situation at the border, so she had to come and check it out to have a better understanding of the situation.
Where do you plan to celebrate your birthday this year?
Yu Shiyan remained silent for a long time without answering her question, but instead threw out a sentence to himself.
To be honest, Yuan Siyin hadn't really thought about this, since there were still several months to go.
She subconsciously frowned slightly: "If you can't come back from the border, then you've naturally stayed there. Why are you asking this out of the blue?"
"It's nothing." Yu Shiyan then turned and walked towards the edge of the field. "It was just a casual question."
The two spent half a day picking herbs, filling their baskets to the brim. When Yu Shiyan saw that they had almost finished, he picked up the basket and said, "The boss said that we're going to have a celebration banquet tonight."
Liu Mazi happened to mention it when he met her on the road. Yuan Siyin still remembered it, so she nodded: "I know, everyone in the village is busy right now."
Yu Shiyan gave her a deep look but didn't say anything, while Yuan Siyin unconsciously turned her head away to avoid his gaze.
Yu Shiyan has always been strange, and these past two days have been especially unsettling for her.
I always feel like I'm prey being watched.
