Chapter 6 Chapter 6 His gaze is creepy!
Zhang Jingxian smiled shyly, pretending not to notice his abnormality, and took away the wheat cakes she had placed there earlier.
She walked into the yard, broke off a piece of wheat cake with peck marks on it, and raised her hand high. The yellow warbler flew over cautiously, took the wheat cake and dropped a green caterpillar.
"...I've said it many times, I don't eat insects." Zhang Jingxian shook the caterpillar off her body with a helpless look on her face and continued to make the wooden wheel.
Because she had done it once in her previous life, she moved quickly and created a prototype in just a few clicks.
Then, she patiently polished it with iron sheets, and wrapped the hemp rope around it to secure it. A novel but very simple chariot appeared in the eyes of the two people.
Zhang Jingxian's forehead and nose were covered with fine beads of sweat. She was anxious to complete the work that would have taken a whole day, and she naturally had some hidden thoughts.
Being unable to walk due to injury to both legs was a big trouble for both Xie Yun and the people who took care of him afterwards.
With this sedan chair, at least some problems can be solved. The village elder will take him home without hesitation, and it will also be Zhang Jingxian's last kindness to him.
She pushed the chariot into the house, pretending not to notice his focused and deep gaze, and whispered to him if he wanted to give it a try, "My dear, my craftsmanship is a bit rough. You can ask the carpenter in the city to make a new one later."
She told Xie Yun that there was a carpenter named Gongshu in Wuyang County. It was said that he was the successor of Gongshu Ban and had superb carpentry skills.
Xie Yun hummed, looking at the sedan chair that was pushed to the side of the bed, his fingers pressing so hard that they almost dug into his flesh.
Through the bamboo window, he watched her every move. Made of a few pieces of wood and a few hemp ropes, it was simple and pure, free of betrayal and calculation. However, he could hold up his upper body, but he lacked the strength to move both injured legs onto the sedan chair. The slightest movement was met with a wave of piercing pain, leaving him in a state of extreme distress.
At this moment, the only sound in the small wooden house was Xie Yun's heavy breathing. All his calmness and elegance were crushed into ashes by the rage in his heart.
Zhang Jingxian didn't say anything.
She listened quietly to his breathing and watched him try again and again. Bright red blood flowed out from under the linen cloth she had wrapped him, but Xie Yun still did not give up.
His leg injury was caused by falling from the mountain. With such a serious injury, an ordinary person might have died long ago, but he was Xie Yun, a member of the Xie family. Not only did he survive, but he also maintained his pride.
He, Xie Yun, will never become a useless person no matter what!
Zhang Jingxian watched for a while, and when he almost fell off the couch, she finally took a deep breath, walked forward and hugged his waist and abdomen with her arms.
Because she had been practicing archery with her uncle since she was a child, Zhang Jingxian had a thin body but strong arms. With her help, Xie Yun successfully sat on the sedan chair.
But due to inertia, as she released the force, her whole body inevitably crashed into his chest.
Through a thin layer of clothes, Xie Yun frowned subconsciously and put his arms around her waist. The softness and hardness were completely different feelings.
The seamless contact made both of them freeze.
The first person to react was Zhang Jingxian. When she realized that her hand had accidentally touched something, a chill ran through her heart and she hurriedly stepped back.
However, at the moment she leaned back, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, holding her still.
"My lady, be careful, don't fall."
Xie Yun smiled and told her to be careful, but he suddenly increased the force of his fingers, leaving clear fingerprints on Zhang Jingxian's wrist before he casually let go.
She had another illusion that he could break her wrist if he wanted to.
Even so, I was helping him just now.
"My dear, try pushing the wooden wheel with your hands. You can get to other places without using your legs." Zhang Jingxian suppressed the tingling sensation on her scalp and gently explained the layout of her home to him. "Half of the kitchen is a clean room for bathing and changing clothes, and the changing area is on the left side of the backyard."
Xie Yun also did not respond to her.
The room was silent for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop.
Zhang Jingxian held her breath and met his eyes. She found that he was staring at her, his dark pupils motionless.
The cold light was fleeting.
The mask of gentleness finally broke a little when she told him about his embarrassment.
Fortunately, a voice calling Zhang Jingxian suddenly came from the front yard.
It was Aunt Qin, our next-door neighbor.
"Ah Xian, the ox cart has entered the village. Your uncle Liu has brought back the doctor from the city."
Aunt Qin thought of the nobleman in the room and knocked twice on the courtyard door. Zhang Jingxian relaxed her body, walked over and opened the courtyard door, and smiled at Aunt Qin, "I'm sorry to trouble you and Second Uncle this time."
"It's not a bother, not a bother. Your uncle Liu can still take a ox cart to the county town. In the past, you had to wear out a pair of straw sandals before you could walk to the city gate." Aunt Qin's tone was full of envy. In her life, she had only taken a ox cart on the day she got married.
There are only three cows in Xishan Village, one belongs to the Xianglao family, one belongs to the Zheng family, and the remaining one is shared by more than 20 households in the village. It at least helps plow the fields during the busy farming season.
If oxen are used to pull carts, only the village elders can give the order.
"By the way, Ah Xian, is the noble awake?"
"Yeah, I'm awake."
While answering Aunt Qin's questions, Zhang Jingxian looked towards the village entrance at the foot of the mountain. She stood at the gate and did not move, so Aunt Qin did not dare to go in to take a look.
By the time the village elder, Uncle Liu and a ruddy-faced middle-aged man gradually appeared, about quarter of an hour had passed.
"This is Doctor Meng from Wuyang City, and this is Miss Zhang from my village."
When the village elder saw Zhang Jingxian, he introduced her to Doctor Meng. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he still looked calm.
"Mrs. Zhang, is the injured person still alive?" Doctor Meng glanced at the bloodstains on the sleeves of the woman in front of him and looked serious.
He was worried that after a day and a night, the injured person would die from his injuries.
"He... is alive and should be in the house."
Before Zhang Jingxian finished speaking, a creaking sound appeared behind her.
She turned around and saw Xie Yun sitting in a sedan chair and walking slowly towards them. His dark robe covered his injured leg. He glanced over and locked onto the old man with white hair and beard.
"I guess this is the village elder Ah Xian mentioned."
The soft call of "Ah Xian" was even more arousing when the graceful young man looked at Zhang Jingxian with a smile.
"Sir, I am indeed the village elder of Xishan Village. The person next to me is Doctor Meng, whom I sent to the city to treat your injuries."
The fifth uncle of the Liu family was stunned for a moment, and then he was more certain that Xie Yun was a noble person, so he bowed to him respectfully.
Xie Yun accepted it with a smile, then bowed and nodded to him with an extremely graceful posture.
"Thank you for taking the trouble to call the doctor."
When he said this, everyone present felt relieved.
The village elders recognized that he was indeed a nobleman. Doctor Meng, Uncle Liu, Aunt Qin and others felt that his life would not be in danger, and Zhang Jingxian was ready to let go.
"Uncle, Second Uncle, Aunt Qin, my uncle asked me to go to the fields to check. You and the noble lady will leave later and close the door to the house and the courtyard."
She deliberately avoided Xie Yun's sight and told the village elder that she was an unmarried girl and it was inconvenient for a noble man like her to stay in her home.
The village elder nodded and said that he would invite the noble man to his home to recuperate.
It might have taken some effort, but the noble man was able to push the sedan chair by himself, and the village elders felt that taking care of an injured person was no big deal.
On the contrary, there are many benefits.
Zhang Jingxian successfully achieved her goal and curled her lips happily. Ignoring the gazes that were always lingering on her back, she found a bow and arrow for self-defense from the treasure house and walked towards the path in the forest with dense vegetation.
It is afternoon now. With the trees blocking the view, the sunlight falls into the mountains, and it is quiet and cool.
Following her distant memory, she walked for a while and found the straw cage she had buried for several days.
There were three straw cages in total, one was bitten off by some unknown animal, and one was empty. Seeing the last one, Zhang Jingxian happily went over and caught a pheasant that was still alive.
This pheasant has a small body and long feathers. It can be used to make soup, which is not only delicious but also nourishing.
After tying the pheasants tightly with vines, she remembered what her uncle had said and went to the field allocated to her. As expected, the few poor bean sprouts had been completely blocked by weeds and could not be seen without careful digging.
Zhang Jingxian gestured at the height of the weeds, decisively gave up pulling them out, and concentrated on catching voles and rabbits.
Voles were the easiest to catch. She found a few holes, blocked them with vines, and then let smoke in. Soon, five or six voles fled in panic and stepped into the trap.
One vole, with its sharp teeth, managed to bite through the vine, but luck was not on its side. While escaping, it was caught by the claws of a vicious black cat and became a meal.
The black cat ate a delicious meal of vole meat, licked its paws, and found that its human friend had tied the voles into a string neatly. It ran to Zhang Jingxian and meowed at her.
Zhang Jingxian placed the vole string in front of the black cat. The black cat was very happy and called his good friend, a beautiful red fox.
The red fox was a size larger than the black cat, but unfortunately it was more than half as timid. It looked cautiously at Zhang Jingxian's face, and knowing that the human not far away was the familiar one, it began to eat with peace of mind.
After filling their stomachs, the cat and the fox took their human friends to a place.
There was a fruit tree there, and the purple fruits were ripe. Many birds came to eat them, but the black cat and the red fox didn't like them.
When Zhang Jingxian got to the place, she found that it was a wild plum tree. She picked a lot of plums and wrapped them in her clothes. She also picked some mushrooms around and returned home with a full load.
On the way back, she picked up a dozen more pheasant eggs and her mood was so high.
The most delicious thing is to make soup with mushrooms and pheasant, or fry pheasant eggs and wheat cakes in a ceramic jar.
How happy she is! As long as she stays away from him, she will live a peaceful life.
The red fox disappeared into the forest halfway through its walk. Zhang Jingxian and the brave black cat returned to the small courtyard with a fence.
She pushed open the gate of her house with great anticipation. The black cat rushing in front suddenly stopped and the hair on its tail exploded.
I was so scared. Why was the male human hiding behind the gate?
"Ah Xian, you're back."
He said with a smile, his eyes creepy.
The author has something to say:

Muah~ To Ah Xian, the male lead is simply a ghost that won’t go away!
