Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Her persistence.
"My dear, you have tasted it a long time ago. It tastes the same as last time."
Zhang Jingxian walked towards him and handed over the cloth bag in her hand reluctantly. She did not forget the promise she made before leaving. These red bean cakes were indeed his.
Xie Yun didn't take it, but continued to stare at her and the crumbs on her lips.
The cloth bag containing the red bean cake was made of coarse linen and had not been dyed. It looked simple and dull.
Zhang Jingxian thought he disliked it, so after a slight hesitation, she took out a piece of bean cake and gave it to him, emphasizing that she had just washed her hands by the stream.
"Raise it higher." He ordered.
"Um…?"
Zhang Jingxian instinctively raised her arms. Before she finished speaking, a tall figure leaned towards her slightly. Xie Yun grabbed her wrist and calmly ate the bean cake in her hand.
During the long process, those creepy black eyes never moved.
It seemed as if what he was chewing between his lips and teeth was not a piece of bean cake, but her.
Zhang Jingxian was a little dazed. When she felt a tingling wetness on her fingertips, she suddenly stepped back.
However, her wrist was grabbed and she couldn't move away.
"My dear, your leg injury is still very serious. Don't go out casually, otherwise what if he can't recover in the future?" She calmed her mind temporarily and shifted her attention to Xie Yun's legs.
Forget it, forget it. My aunt's attitude began to soften. She was happy and didn't bother with him.
"Ah Xian is so happy that she forgets everything else and still remembers the injury on my leg?" Xie Yun suddenly raised his lips and chuckled with a hint of mockery.
He saw her jumping around like a four or five-year-old child. Zhang Jingxian was already nineteen years old this year. If it were someone else, she would be a wife and a mother.
"I asked my aunt for bean cake. She didn't refuse and didn't hit me with the spoon again." Hearing this, Zhang Jingxian didn't feel embarrassed by his teasing.
She couldn't wait to share her joy with him, and finally said thank you to him.
"Thanks to the news that my husband told me before, my aunt is willing to slowly forgive me."
Zhang Jingxian was so happy that she forgot everything in her past life. She took the initiative to support him and told him her worries. Although she had many friends, he was the only one who listened to her and was the only one like her.
How can one not feel lonely after living alone for four years?
It was the first time that Xie Yun saw her chattering with her lips open, and it was also the first time that he saw her with joy written all over her face and hair. He listened quietly, and rarely did he notice the noise.
The two were walking very slowly. Suddenly, Xie Yun broke off a branch and stabbed it upwards.
The next moment, a little monkey screamed and squeaked, covering its butt with its furry paws and jumping from one tree to another.
Unfortunately, the monkey got pricked on the butt by a branch that Xie Yun had casually thrown. It was also the monkey that had thrown the peach pit at Xie Yun.
Xie Yun is a vicious person by nature. He doesn't even care about the life-saving grace, so how could he care about a mere apology?
But the little monkey cared. It cried out in grievance to the stunned human girl, and disappeared into the tree trunk without looking back.
This male human was truly terrifying, actually stabbing it with a branch! Before he left, it never dared to show up again.
"...I'm in trouble. The little monkeys must be here to help me harvest the wheat." Zhang Jingxian's face showed the same expression as her cousin's. There were nearly ten acres of wheat. Without the help of the monkeys, her waist would be broken!
"My dear, all the animals in the mountains are spiritual. Why can't you be more magnanimous and bother with a monkey?"
"cannot."
The two cold words deflated Zhang Jingxian. She argued with Xie Yun and told him that it was a red fox that led her to find the holy medicine Buliuxing that could remove the blood bruise on his leg.
"Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today, and you, my dear, would have already..."
"There are many treasures in the mountains. Since Ah Xian was able to find Vaccaria, other wild ginseng and Ganoderma should not be difficult to find. Why not sell them in a more prosperous place, such as Wuling County, so that you can live a life of ease and comfort."
Xie Yun turned sideways and asked her in a calm tone.
"Because treasures belong to the mountains and forests." Zhang Jingxian didn't realize this was a test. She expressed what she had always thought. "I rely on the mountains and forests for my livelihood, so I must protect them. I must take in moderation and not be greedy. My uncle has told me many times that greed breeds disaster."
If she sold the things in the mountains at a high price and lived a life that everyone envied, then more people would surely follow her example and go into the mountains.
As more and more people come, the mountains and forests can no longer bear it, nor can the creatures they support. Consequently, wolves, bears, tigers, and other ferocious beasts will attack humans in order to survive, resulting in a lose-lose situation for both sides.
"I only need what I need. This is the survival instinct of all living things. Therefore, I will not be hurt."
She looked up at Xie Yun, her gaze unusually serious. In her previous life, she had been too greedy, not recognizing him clearly, let alone the outside world, and so she died in despair in a foreign land.
This time, she will stay in the mountains and forests that accept her and nourish her, and will never leave.
The wind gently blew across the girl's cheeks and ruffled her hair, but her eyes were dark and bright, and her gaze was firm, without any change.
Xie Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long pause he said leisurely, "Today we're learning 'Ji Gu' from the Bei Feng. As for the wheat harvest, since we've done a favor for the villagers, we naturally need to get something in return."
Let the villagers help her harvest the wheat?
Zhang Jingxian pursed her lips. How could it be possible? Besides, she was too embarrassed to speak.
In fact, after Zhang Shuanghu told the village elder about both things, the village elder said without hesitation that he would organize several young and strong people to help Zhang Jingxian harvest all the wheat in the field.
The reason is very simple. The village elders thought that the news of rain was also conveyed to them by the nobleman through Ah Xian, and they believed it without a doubt.
Fortunately, the wheat was about 90% to 100% ripe, so it was not too early to harvest it.
Therefore, the next day, Liu Bao, Liu Tu and others, led by Zhang Shuanghu, took sickles and knocked on the gate of the fenced courtyard.
Hearing that they were going to help her harvest the wheat, Zhang Jingxian subconsciously looked at the elegant man sitting beside her.
"Please excuse me, everyone. I am not able to move around easily, otherwise I could help Ah Xian with some of her worries." Xie Yun smiled and nodded to Zhang Shuanghu and the others. At this moment, there was not a trace of gloomy and cruel nature on him.
After saying this, he turned his profile towards Zhang Jingxian, extremely gentle, like a pleasant spring breeze.
Liu Bao saw this and had an idea. He couldn't help but find his brother-in-law Zhang Shuanghu while harvesting wheat.
"It seems like the noble man has feelings for Ah Xian. He is handsome and has a good temper. He and Ah Xian might be a good match."
"Don't talk nonsense! The noble man is certainly a good person, but everyone knows that he can't stay in Xishan Village. After ten days or half a month, he will recover his memory and will definitely return to his home."
Zhang Shuanghu said this in a deep voice, and soon returned to the yard carrying the harvested wheat, inadvertently expressing this idea.
In front of Xie Yun, he told his niece who was busy drying wheat that during this trip he met three or two young men in other villages who he liked, but none of them were married.
"They are about the same age as Ah Xian. Since your cousin is still not back, we can arrange your marriage first."
"Well, uncle, I'll think about it."
Zhang Jingxian responded casually. She had heard such words many times and didn't take it to heart.
However, Xie Yun's eyes turned cold when he heard the conversation between uncle and nephew. He smiled and said to Zhang Shuanghu, "Ah Xian is learning to read with me. There is no rush for her to get married."
"Besides, Uncle, you may not know that war may break out again, and the man you like may be taken away."
Hearing his kind advice, Zhang Shuanghu's body stiffened.
