Chapter 259 Caught in the act
"What does this mean?" Li Rongsen asked.
"We have been in contact with her, but she hasn't contacted you, so that's why you ask this?" This was Yan Qingqiu's logic.
"Of course I sent a message."
"Then what are you worried about?" Yan Qingqiu couldn't understand.
Li Rongsen said, "She didn't even come here, didn't she even look at Wen Jiaer?"
Yan Qingqiu laughed and said, "Why are you so nosy? If you don't want to look, then don't look. He has hands and feet, he's an adult, and his body has almost recovered."
Li Rongsen didn't mean that. He just felt that An Yan must be hiding something.
An Yan is currently on the Flower Snake Mountain. She needs rare medicinal herbs, but the places where these herbs grow are extremely harsh or very close to danger.
Yuying grass grows on the edge of the cliff. It is like jade and emits a fragrance that can relieve cough and produce phlegm, but almost no one can pick it because it is too dangerous.
But An Yan had to get him. She was walking to the edge of the grass at this moment. She had a rope tied around her waist, and the other end of the rope was tied to a big tree to prevent her from falling while picking herbs.
She moved forward slowly to avoid slipping.
This grass is particularly interesting. Not only is it like jade, but the small area around it has also become jade, making it particularly easy to slip.
Her fingers had already reached the grass, but at this moment, the grass suddenly grew many thorns, which pierced An Yan's fingers and dripped red. However, she did not retreat, nor did she frown. She grabbed the branch in one breath, pulled it out with force, and jumped back.
I saw the place shattered and fell off the cliff.
An Yan was satisfied. She put the Yuying grass into a small bamboo basket she carried with her, then simply bandaged her hand and continued to look for other herbs.
There are many medicinal herbs growing on the cliffs and in the cracks of the rocks, but no one can pick them.
An Yan took a deep breath and climbed up with her bare hands just to reach the wood lotus tree above.
The stone under her feet fell due to the force of her step, and she almost fell with it. Fortunately, she swung out her hook and hooked it onto the stone, and she was able to climb up again.
There was a sound of leaves hitting each other, it was actually raining.
An Yan had to hurry up. She climbed up quickly and grabbed the wood lotus with one hand to pick it, but the roots of the flower were very deep and it took a lot of strength to pick it.
"It can't even be pulled apart." An Yan was a little confused. She thought about it carefully and prepared to take a knife to cut off its roots, but as soon as she let go, she saw that the flower was about to be buried in the stone, so she hurriedly grabbed it again.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, almost blinding An Yan's vision. She simply used all her strength to pull out the whole flower, and saw the stones around her shattered and fell with her.
Fortunately, she grabbed a short tree and felt a burning pain in her hand, but she didn't care about anything else.
The rain on Huashe Mountain was not going to stop for long, reminding her that it was time to call it a day.
After An Yan landed, he put the magnolia into the small bamboo cage, then blew a whistle to call the big cat, got him on the ride and went back to West City.
When they arrived at West City, the rain had subsided a lot. An Yan took care of herself first. She needed to take the herbs over for refining, but when she walked into the house, she saw Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen was sitting on the armchair drinking tea. His expression was not right today. He did not immediately stand up to ask her how she was doing as usual. Instead, he slowly put the tea back on the table and asked, "Where have you been?"
An Yan instinctively wanted to hide it, not even realizing why she did it, and said, "I, I was just walking around, why are you here?"
"Come here." Li Rongsen looked at her, his temper almost rising to the sky. She looked disheveled, her clothes were tattered, and her hands were behind her back, as if she was hiding something.
"Why are you here? Did the old man ask you to come?" An Yan avoided the main point and planned to move slowly to the other end.
"I asked you to come over here." Li Rongsen frowned. He was not angry, just threatening.
An Yan was depressed. She didn't want to tell him, but now she was caught red-handed, so she could only accept her fate and walked towards Li Rongsen with confidence.
Li Rongsen's strength was very weak. He held her arm and brought her hand to his eyes. Sure enough, it was covered in wounds, bloody and mixed with mud and stones. He said, "Why did you have to do such a thing yourself and deliberately hide it from me?"
"I didn't hide it from you."
"The old man has already told you not to let him tell me. I have already asked him to go into seclusion and reflect on himself." Li Rongsen told her very sternly.
An Yan cleared her throat and said, "Hey, it's rare that the old man would listen to you. Where did he go to retreat?"
"That's not the point. Why do you still want to hide it from me?" Li Rongsen was really angry.
An Yan sighed and said, "Can you let me take a shower and clean up first? It's so cold."
"Go quickly." Li Rongsen really had no way to deal with her.
"I'm just picking these two herbs. Please put them in the medicine cauldron for me and use a wooden tongs. Don't use your hands. The Jade Ying Grass will have thorns. I'll be back soon." An Yan handed him the small bamboo basket and then went back to her room to pack up.
Li Rongsen opened the small bamboo cage and saw two rare herbs lying inside. He felt mixed emotions.
There were traces of blood on the Yuying grass, which made Li Rongsen even more jealous and almost wanted to devour him, but he couldn't do anything.
He didn't listen and threw the herbs directly into the medicine cauldron with his hands.
An Yan came back soon. She had changed into clean clothes. She first took a look into the medicine cauldron, then walked up to Li Rongsen and said, "I was just collecting herbs, nothing else."
"Have some ginger soup, I just made it." Li Rongsen had lost his previous coldness, and he couldn't stay angry with her for too long.
An Yan wanted to take the jade bowl from his hand, but was stopped. He said, "I'll feed you."
"My hand doesn't hurt." An Yan thought this was strange, but when she met Li Rongsen's eyes, she had to agree. While drinking ginger soup, she saw the wound on his hand and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Did you touch the Yuying grass directly with your hand?"
"What's the emergency?" Li Rongsen had already taken out the medicine bottle and motioned her to sit down. "I'll apply the medicine to you first."
"I told you to use the wooden clip, why don't you take it to heart?" An Yan frowned, thinking that this man was probably still angry. She kept it from him because she didn't want him to worry, and she didn't want him to follow her to collect those dangerous herbs.
She owed Jia Er, not him.
"Don't go picking herbs anymore. I'll do it for you," said Li Rongsen.
"No more picking, I'm done." An Yan said.
"What if you lie?" Li Rongsen asked her. It was not that he doubted her, but he knew what she was thinking.
An Yan immediately looked at him with a very serious expression and said, "We've finished picking."
"The old man will follow you. If you lie, I will go to the mountains alone to collect herbs and see who collects more." Li Rongsen was not joking with her.
An Yan frowned and said, "There is another medicine."
"Wait until the injury on your hand heals and then we can pick them together." Li Rongsen's tone sounded like an order.
"Then you should also take care of the wound on your hand." An Yan pointed at the puncture wound on his fingertip and asked, "How could the old man be willing to betray me for you? What did you do to him? He is not someone who can be easily dealt with."
"Then you have to ask him." Li Rongsen kept it a secret.
"It's no big deal to punish him by making him go into seclusion. You should punish him by not washing his hair for a month." An Yan said to Li Rongsen seriously, and then laughed with him.
The old man happened to sneak over to see what was going on, and when he heard this, he claimed he was innocent.
