Summer weather is undoubtedly scorching hot, with even the air filled with heat.
But Ji Yanwen felt cold all over, and soon a surge of heat rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Can anyone tell him where his clothes went?
Ji Yanwen's cheeks were flushed, his body was burning hot, and he was trembling slightly.
Several days passed, and his wounds had begun to scab over. But to his utter surprise, when he woke up, he found himself covered only by a thin blanket, and his clothes had vanished.
His face turned white, then red, then purple, then black, like a chameleon, constantly changing color.
I got out of bed wrapped in a blanket, and almost fell over as soon as my feet touched the ground.
My stomach was empty, and I had no strength left in my body.
When Jiang Bai finished eating the bean sprouts and wild vegetables and regained about 30% of his strength, he came in to find Ji Yanwen wrapped up like a silkworm.
"You're awake?"
She had been thinking of getting him a doctor tomorrow, but he woke up unexpectedly.
Ji Yanwen didn't dare to look at her face, and turned his head away to give a soft "hmm".
Hearing her footsteps approaching him, Ji Yanwen panicked: "No, don't come any closer."
Jiang Bai paused in his steps.
Seeing his face turn as red as a monkey's bottom, she couldn't help but tease him, "Are you shy?"
Ji Yanwen's face turned even redder, almost purplish.
Is Jiang Bai even a girl anymore? How can she say anything like that?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Bai had even more outspoken ideas.
"Honestly, we've seen everything, whether we should or shouldn't have, so what's there to be ashamed of?"
She muttered something, completely disregarding Ji Yanwen's life or death, and found a set of clothes for him in the closet, intending to put them on him, but he refused.
"Can you do it yourself?"
He doesn't seem to have much strength, and he doesn't look like he could dress himself.
Ji Yanwen blushed and gritted his teeth as he said, "I...can...do."
He dared not even think about what she meant by "shouldn't see," and all he knew was that if there were a crack in the ground, he would want to crawl into it.
They even ignored the pain of the wound.
"If it's okay, then it's okay. There's no need to shout it so loudly."
Jiang Bai placed the clothes aside for him, turned around and left, kindly closing the door behind him.
Hearing her footsteps fade into the distance, Ji Yanwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his grip on the thin blanket, and shakily put on his clothes.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after he was fully dressed.
He pulled out the mirror hidden under his pillow to check if his mask had given him any flaws, but to his surprise, a familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared in the mirror.
He froze for a few seconds, then suddenly roared, "Jiang Bai!"
Jiang Bai, who was outside, shuddered and wondered what was wrong now.
Thinking about it, I went inside.
As soon as he entered, Ji Yanwen pressed him against the door. His eyes were bloodshot with panic as he kept asking, "Where are my things? Where are my things?"
His hand on Jiang Bai's shoulder was still trembling slightly, and his eyes were fixed on her face.
"Your face is..."
"Keep your voice down." Ji Yanwen covered her mouth, afraid that someone would hear.
Jiang Bai's lips twitched. Her voice wasn't loud either. Jiang Lu and the other two had gone to sleep, so who could hear her?
"Your face is breaking out in pimples from wearing a mask. If you don't take it off soon, you'll be disfigured. Do you really want to be disfigured?"
She pulled his hands off, then grabbed his shoulders and pressed him down onto the bed, taking out the mask she had put away and handing it to him.
"Er Ya and the other two haven't been in this room these past few days. Don't worry, your secret is still only known to me."
Jiang Bai patted his shoulder reassuringly.
"Although I don't know why you insist on hiding your identity, now that you've married me, I'll help you keep this secret."
"After all, I'm still counting on you to study and take me to the capital, aren't I?"
He was seriously injured. He seems to be awake now, but he is still very weak and cannot experience great joy or sorrow.
Only after receiving the mask did Ji Yanwen's anxious heart finally calm down.
"I'm sorry you had to see this."
He turned his body to the side, preventing Jiang Bai from seeing his face.
He had seen it himself; his face was covered in red bumps, which was quite unsightly.
"During your recovery period, you should stay in the room. Once you're fully recovered, you can take off your mask to let your skin breathe. Er Ya and the other two won't enter our room without my permission, so you can rest assured."
"You must be hungry after lying here for so long. I just cooked you some food, it's almost ready, I'll bring it to you now."
After saying that, Jiang Bai left, and when he came back in, he was carrying a bowl of white porridge.
At this time, plain porridge was even rarer than cooked rice.
After all, even though it rained, the amount of water coming out of the well was still very small, so the water was used sparingly.
Otherwise, Jiang Bai wouldn't have stripped him of all his clothes just to make him sweat less, leaving him with only a thin blanket to cover his vital parts.
Jiang Bai actually had many questions he wanted to ask.
However, considering that he had just woken up, he swallowed it all.
Ji Yanwen waking up was a good thing, giving Jiang Bai, who had originally planned to go to the county town to get him a doctor, more time to work in the fields.
After she regained her strength, she naturally went to the old house, and Jiang Anlin, who was now a free laborer, was forced to work on her land again.
Jiang Bai was a restless person. As soon as he recovered a little, he started thinking about the things that Yu Shang and the others had brought that day.
We searched everywhere along the foot of Pingshan Mountain.
Finally, the target was found on a slope next to a cliff.
Digging away the soil covering the plant, brown roots with fine dots appeared before Jiang Bai's eyes. He poked a little bit of the skin with a stick, revealing the snow-white core inside, with some sap oozing out.
"It really is a yam."
Jiang Bai's face lit up with joy as he dug deeper into the mud, revealing a very well-developed root system.
In just a short while, he had dug up a whole basketful.
She also picked the yam beans growing on the vines, intending to take them home with her.
Thinking of that piece of wasteland at the foot of Pingshan Mountain, she had wanted to buy it, but she hadn't decided what to sell it for.
Now that yams have been found here, perhaps other seeds can be found on the mountain as well.
This location is next to Zhujia Village, so Jiang Bai didn't dare to stay long. Before leaving, he glanced at the location of Zhujia Village, which, like Jiangjia Village, had started planting beans.
Wheat would be great, but corn would also work.
As he walked, he planned out a land reclamation project in his mind.
When she got home, Jiang Lu was already back. With Jiang Anlin doing the work, Jiang Lu had more free time.
After finishing the chores at home, he would take Jiang Songwen to practice martial arts in the yard.
When Jiang Bai got home, she had just finished a set of boxing moves, and she looked quite skilled.
Thinking that Ji Yanwen was injured and recuperating, and that it was not a good time for him to go out to study, Jiang Bai had an idea.
"Er Ya, do you want to learn to read?"
