Chapter 49 Danger in the Deep Mountains



Zhao Shi'an ignored her and wrung out a cotton handkerchief to wipe her hands and face.

“I can do it myself.”

Zhao Shi'an, however, did not allow it.

After wiping, I wrung out the towel and draped it over the sink stand.

"foot."

He kicked the basin.

Fang Qing quickly put her foot in, but the movement was too fast and aggravated her wound, causing her to gasp in pain.

Be careful.

Zhao Shi'an rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to wash her feet, looking rather annoyed.

Fang Qing was flattered and tried to dodge his foot, but he held it down.

Fang Qing paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile, even bursting out laughing.

"He's limping and still laughing!"

"Where is the limp so severe?"

Zhao Shi'an still ignored her.

There was a hot water bottle in the quilt. After washing her feet, Fang Qing was about to lie down comfortably, but her knees hurt so much when they touched the quilt that she hissed.

Fang Qing was just thinking about exchanging healing medicine in the system shop when Zhao Shi'an returned.

This time, he was also holding a blanket in his arms.

Under Fang Qing's astonished gaze, Zhao Shi'an spread the quilt next to her.

"elder brother……"

"Stretch your legs out."

He took out a roll of white cotton cloth from his pocket, which was left over from Zhao's making of cotton-padded linings for their clothes.

Zhao Shi'an carefully bandaged her knees and then put her legs under the covers.

"Brother, are you going to sleep here tonight?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just call me if you need anything, go to sleep."

As he spoke, he blew out the candle and lay down beside him.

They slept together before moving into the new house, and Fang Qing didn't argue with him this time either.

Fang Qing fell asleep shortly afterward, and Zhao Shi'an turned over and watched her for a while.

She discovered it.

She stopped him when he was about to kill Zhang.

She wasn't afraid at all.

How much does she still know about him?

If they knew what kind of demon resided in this body, would they still consider him family?

The injury on her knee was minor, and Fang Qing felt that it was nothing serious when she woke up the next day.

She and Zhao Shi'an went up the mountain as usual.

As the weather gets colder, the small animals in the mountains stop coming out, so Zhao Shi'an's traps can no longer catch prey.

There wasn't much good stuff left in the places they could go. Fang Qing looked into the depths of the mountains and suddenly wanted to go in and take a look.

In addition, there was Xiaodou urging her on.

There are many good things inside; if you want a ginseng that's over a hundred years old, I can easily dig it up for you.

This was incredibly appealing to Fang Qing.

She didn't have many system points left, and only having money in her hands could give her peace of mind.

Why do you so desperately want me to go deep into the mountains?

Unexpectedly, Xiaodou remained silent for a moment.

Don't you feel like you haven't received any missions in a long time? I'm just trying to help you.

Fang Qing's expression suddenly froze.

She immediately thought that there were people in the deep mountains who needed help.

At this time, the only people who could move around in the deep mountains were Fang Daniu and his group who hunted.

So, Fang Daniu is in danger?

Who needs help?

[No mission has been issued yet; the system is just guiding you deeper into the mountains.]

Fang Qing was worried about Fang Daniu, so she quickly begged Zhao Shi'an for help.

"Brother, let's go further inside and take a look."

Zhao Shi'an objected without even thinking.

"Your leg isn't healed yet, and it's dangerous in the deep mountains."

"But I don't feel any pain anymore..."

"This is enough firewood, let's go home."

As he spoke, he picked up Fang Qing's share of firewood and pulled her along, heading down the mountain.

Fang Qing originally intended to go home with him like this, but Xiao Dou suddenly gave her a notification sound.

[A mission has been assigned; Fang Dashan needs your help.]

Is it a mountain?

Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened to the mountains?

I got lost in the mountains.

Fang Qing suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Getting lost deep in the mountains is extremely dangerous.

"Brother, can you hear someone calling for help?"

Zhao Shi'an shook his head.

"I heard that, it sounds like Brother Dashan, let's go find him now."

As she spoke, she broke free from Zhao Shi'an's hand and headed up the mountain, before Zhao Shi'an could even grab her.

"Stop right there!"

As she was about to disappear from sight, Zhao Shi'an dropped the firewood he was carrying and hurriedly chased after her.

"Brother, hurry up and keep up."

Fang Qing showed no sign of stopping, so Zhao Shi'an could only go faster until he grabbed her hand.

"Your leg doesn't hurt anymore, right?"

His face looked quite grim.

"Yes, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Come home with me!"

The tone left no room for argument.

The dangers in the deep mountains are far beyond what they can face at their age.

"No, I heard Brother Dashan calling for help."

"I didn't hear it."

"It's true, Brother Dashan is in danger now."

"What's it to you!"

Zhao Shi'an was only worried about her, and he said that sentence subconsciously.

Seeing Fang Qing's incredulous look, he pursed his lips awkwardly.

"Brother, isn't Brother Dashan our good friend?"

Fang Qing asked tentatively.

She knew that Zhao Shi'an's villainous value hadn't decreased yet, so it wasn't surprising that he could say such things.

But hearing it suddenly still made me feel uneasy.

Zhao Shi'an met her gaze for a moment, then sighed softly as if in resignation.

"Did you really hear the mountains calling for help?"

"Um."

Which direction is the person facing?

Following Xiaodou's directions, Fang Qing pointed in a direction.

Zhao Shi'an took out a small dagger from his pocket and marked it on a nearby tree.
