It was still dark when a slight noise came from beside me.
Jiang Yuzhu slept uneasily, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she peeked at Xie Zhao who was changing clothes.
At this moment, Xie Zhao was changing his underwear with his back to her. He was so tall that he almost blocked Jiang Yuzhu's sight.
He looks thin, but actually has broad shoulders and narrow hips. The lines on his body are just right, which matches his face perfectly.
Jiang Yuzhu was thinking when she realized that her hand was unconsciously stretched out. She only needed to move forward to touch his waist.
At the critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu got scared, pretended to yawn, turned slightly to the side and continued to pretend to sleep.
She secretly reminded herself that she could only be 50% interested in male beauty, as beauty could mislead people and easily lead to trouble.
But when it comes to money, she can devote everything!
Xie Zhao put on his clothes slowly and turned around to find that his wife was "sleeping" soundly.
There was a hint of helpless doting in his eyes, and Xie Zhao had no intention of exposing Jiang Yuzhu.
Before leaving, Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment, then placed a kiss on Jiang Yuzhu's forehead and said softly, "Wait for news from your husband."
The door opened and closed again. Jiang Yuzhu touched her side and still felt the warmth left by Xie Zhao.
She sat up, feeling completely sleepless and lost.
It is really cold in the north. Even if you cover yourself with a thick quilt, you can still feel the biting wind blowing through you.
Xie Zhao's body was warm, and Jiang Yuzhu snuggled into his arms, which was more effective than a hot water bottle.
"well!"
Jiang Yuzhu put on her coat and was no longer sleepy.
About a quarter of an hour later, the rooster crowed for the first time.
The Korean paper at the door was shrouded in shadow. The visitor hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door and asked tentatively, "Madam, may I come in?"
"Come in!"
Jiang Yuzhu came to the door and saw Hongli carrying a water bottle wrapped in cotton wool.
The door opened a crack, and Hongli slipped in. She put down the kettle and rubbed her red, frozen fingers. "Master told me to bring you warm water for washing, saying you were awake, but I didn't believe it!"
If this were in the capital, Jiang Yuzhu would never get up early and would basically sleep until she woke up naturally.
After arriving in the north, there was nowhere to hang out, and my habits changed accordingly.
After washing with warm water, Jiang Yuzhu calmed down a little and picked up a cup of hot tea.
Before he could even take the first sip, a servant from the mansion reported, "Madam, Doctor Yan is here with his servant!"
Also coming were hundreds of rabbits in cages.
Hongli couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "You're here so early. Doctor Yan, do you not understand the ways of the world? Do you think our house is his backyard?"
Hong Xiu picked off a plum blossom and placed it in the vase as decoration, then interjected, "Perhaps his intention is simple: just to get a free breakfast?"
At dinner yesterday, Doctor Yan's face was beaming with joy as he ate. In Hongxiu's mind, his serious image had completely collapsed, as if this man had never eaten meat before.
"As long as Doctor Yan can solve the problem of the supply of medicinal materials for the soldiers in the north camp, I will borrow as much as necessary!"
Unable to get enough of the northern land, Jiang Yuzhu brought Doctor Yan back to the capital.
They had breakfast in the side hall. Hong Xiu had prepared it in advance and served Doctor Yan a bowl of five-red soup and a large steamed bun with red dates.
Although it was not bright red, it was enough to make Doctor Yan, who hated the color red, frown. He held the spoon but was reluctant to put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, the servant nearby had no choice but to bite the bullet and adjust the atmosphere.
"Sir, Madam Xie hopes you can adapt as quickly as possible. She has good intentions."
After the servant finished speaking, he looked a little depressed.
He had a nightmare last night.
In the dream, the servant turned into a hen. He huddled in a corner pitifully and begged for mercy. Yan Lin, holding a machete, had bloodshot eyes and a ferocious look, determined to chop off his head.
What the officer mentioned left a deep shadow in the servant's heart.
When the servant heard that after killing rabbits he would be able to advance to killing sheep and pigs, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Thank you, Madam. I think my young master just has a psychological problem. He also has times when he doesn't faint when he sees blood."
The servant's words attracted the attention of Jiang Yuzhu and Yan Lin.
Especially Yan Lin, after thinking carefully, said solemnly: "Xiao Wu, you must be honest and not lie to others."
If Yan Lin was not afraid of human blood, he would not have to flee to the north to resist wearing a bright red wedding dress.
The talk of helping the engaged woman get married is just an excuse.
Just like now, a bowl of five-red soup made Yan Lin feel extremely uncomfortable. If he didn't still have some rationality, he really wanted to vomit the overnight meal into the soup.
The servant named Xiao Wu showed a trace of grievance and said, "It's true. How dare I say such nonsense in front of you!"
After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Jiang Yuzhu waited for a long time but saw no further news. She turned around and asked, "Tell me about it."
If there is a precedent of not fainting when seeing human blood, then the follow-up will indeed be much smoother.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a long time before answering, "In the summer, Jiangnan is humid and rainy, and there are many mosquitoes."
He started with a question, and seeing no one objected, Xiao Wu clenched his fists and said angrily, "My young master killed a bloody, poisonous mosquito in the room!"
Yan Lin was very angry because he was bitten several times.
After using mosquito repellent incense to stun the mosquito, Yan Lin slapped it.
"How much blood does a mosquito have? If it's red, it must be my young master's blood!"
After Yan Lin swatted the mosquito, he didn't show any sign of fainting. Instead, he showed a proud and happy smile.
Last night, Xiaowu suddenly thought of how cold the border town was and how even mosquitoes couldn't survive in the winter. Then a light bulb went off in his head and he thought of this.
Yan Lin: “…”
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
If you want to quibble, Xiaowu has a point.
Yan Lin is afraid of blood and has a certain requirement for the amount of blood he needs, which is related to his emotions.
After dinner, the group went to the courtyard where the kitchen was to kill rabbits.
The cook gave some instructions first, and then skillfully killed and bled the rabbit.
Yan Lin understood everything clearly, but he was not good at killing.
The force of the first knife that cut the rabbit's neck was too weak. After the rabbit's neck bled, it became crazy and bit Yan Lin's wrist in desperation.
When a rabbit is angry, it bites people and draws blood.
Next, there was another familiar voice.
Xiao Wu couldn't bear to watch, his mind was in a mess as he thought about the officer's advice, so he didn't step forward to help immediately, causing Yan Lin to fall headfirst into the snow pile under the tree.
"Madam Xie, will my young master really get better?"
Xiaowu's lips trembled, not knowing when his young master's path as a butcher would come to an end.
Jiang Yuzhu is more anxious than Xiaowu. The psychological factors certainly don’t happen overnight, but accumulate slowly bit by bit.
Now, time seems to be running out.
Once the news reaches several cities in the north and Yan Lin’s authority as the young master is taken away, how can he mobilize the medicine warehouse?
"Xiao Wu, help your young master up. I have a plan."
Jiang Yuzhu remembered that she had seen Mo Qianyu's eye mask in the military tent, which was similar to modern sunglasses.
Because it used a gold wire frame and had fine craftsmanship, Jiang Yuzhu curiously asked the reason.
"It turns out that in the north, because of the constant snowfall, anyone who ventures out, as long as they have enough money, will prepare something to protect themselves from snow blindness."
As long as we prepare a pair for Yan Lin, he will not see the color of blood as red. Will this help him overcome the psychological factors?
