Chapter 281 Domineering Female Doctor Skilled in Gu Poisoning VS Distressed Laborer and Prodigal Son (8)
Xiao Che became increasingly unrestrained.
Since he is now in his dream, he is the master of everything.
He couldn't let her off so easily.
And it was in this unnoticed moment that the "biting" that originally carried the meaning of punishment and revenge began to change, and later it seemed to have turned into an intimate and lingering kiss between lovers.
Xiao Che thought of the intertwined green vines growing in the mountains and forests.
Jiang Zhiyi was so angry that her eyes turned red.
This was the first time Xiao Che had seen her look so aggrieved. In the past, she was always so arrogant, ordering him around and never taking him seriously.
"Why are you crying? Weren't you so capable before?" Xiao Che looked into her eyes, then chuckled softly, his tone particularly wicked.
Jiang Zhiyi wished she could kill him with her eyes.
He's a shameless bastard, a complete scoundrel.
She shouldn't have bothered with him earlier; she should have let him fend for himself on the ground, die of fever, and saved him from suddenly going mad now.
"Still glaring at me?" Xiao Che reached out and pinched her face, playing with the soft flesh on her cheeks.
I must say, it feels great to the touch.
He couldn't help but think: Today's dream was quite real, even the sensation in my hands was so clear, unlike the hazy dreams of the past.
After a while, Xiao Che simply lay down on her and fell asleep, his warm breath brushing against her neck.
Jiang Zhiyi pushed away the person who was pressing down on her, her face full of anger.
...
The next morning.
Xiao Che looked at himself in the mirror. His face was swollen, and there were clear red finger marks on both sides.
"You hit me?" he asked incredulously. "Why did you hit me while I was sleeping?"
Seeing his expression, Jiang Zhiyi knew he had completely forgotten about what happened last night.
She said without changing her expression, "You had a fever yesterday and your mind wasn't clear. After I gave you the medicine, you lay there and started acting crazy. You did it all yourself. I couldn't stop you."
Xiao Che refused to believe it, saying, "How could that be? Why would I hit myself?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Jiang Zhiyi was too lazy to argue with him. She was still annoyed. "And so what if I did hit you? If you bother me again, I'll poison you and feed you to the bugs."
Jiang Zhiyi turned around to tidy up the herbs, not wanting to pay him any more attention.
"..." Xiao Che dared not speak out in anger.
She seems very angry today; he'd better not provoke her.
Xiao Che took the wooden basin and went to the stream to wash clothes.
Looking at her pink dress reflected in the stream, some images suddenly flashed through his mind.
He seemed to have another dream last night, in which he severely punished her and scared her.
Lately, he has been having recurring dreams about things he's ashamed to talk about, and almost all of them are related to her.
"Sigh." Xiao Che shook his head, forcing himself not to think about these things anymore.
He patted his face with his wet hands, trying to wake himself up.
Immediately, he paused, his hand still moving.
Perhaps the injuries on his face were indeed self-inflicted.
In that brief moment of distraction, her clothes were swept away by the stream. Xiao Che hurriedly tried to retrieve them, but couldn't reach them at all.
He ran to a nearby tree, broke off a branch, and with great difficulty managed to hook his clothes back.
But it was precisely because of this action that her clothes were torn by the branches, leaving a large hole.
Xiao Che frowned deeply, looking very worried.
She'll definitely yell at him later.
He needs to find a way to remedy the situation.
...
Under the big tree in the yard.
Jiang Zhiyi was processing the herbs she had gathered from the mountain. She was going to go to town in a few days to sell these herbs.
Xiao Che would glance at Jiang Zhiyi every now and then.
Several large dogs were lying on the ground sunbathing next to him, occasionally lifting their eyelids to look at her.
Jiang Zhiyi glanced over there and suddenly felt a strange sense of amusement at the scene before her.
He's quite like those dogs, except what's he up to with that shifty-eyed look?
Jiang Zhiyi's face darkened as she said, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out. You've finished your work, haven't you? You're very relaxed now?"
"No, I'm busy, I still have a lot of work to do," Xiao Che said, shaking his head.
While Jiang Zhiyi wasn't paying attention, Xiao Che secretly slipped into her pharmacy.
He usually wouldn't dare to go into this pharmacy, but he had no choice today.
He knew that the box near the entrance of the pharmacy was filled with miscellaneous items, including needles and thread, and he needed to get the needles and thread to mend her clothes.
Xiao Che carefully opened the wooden box, took out the needle and thread inside, and then quietly left.
He had just reached the corner of the corridor when he bumped into Jiang Zhiyi, who was looking for him.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.
Xiao Che: "I...didn't do anything, just swept up some fallen leaves...I'm going to fetch water now."
Jiang Zhiyi knew at a glance that something was wrong; he must have done something bad just now.
Unsurprisingly, he went into her pharmacy.
However, she didn't press the matter further. Glancing at the sky, she said, "Go fetch water later. We'll go up the mountain to cut wood first, and then we'll build a bed. Don't sleep on the ground tonight. In a few days, we'll figure out how to enclose your old room."
"Mm." Xiao Che nodded.
It was past midnight.
Jiang Zhiyi quietly got up and went to the pharmacy to check. She found that no medicinal herbs were missing.
What did Xiao Che do at the pharmacy? Did he not steal anything?
She kept a close eye on him during the day, so he had no chance to hide the thing elsewhere. Therefore, if he had taken it, it must be on him now.
Jiang Zhiyi rummaged through his coat, but found nothing. She then carefully searched his body.
Perhaps because the work was quite strenuous, Xiao Che always slept soundly at night, so Jiang Zhiyi wasn't worried that he would suddenly wake up.
But as luck would have it, Xiao Che was woken up by her movements tonight.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Zhiyi's hand on his waist, and his belt was loose, as if she had untied it.
"What...what do you want to do?" His face flushed, and he grabbed her hand.
