Seeing that he hadn't returned for a long time, she simply took off her single layer of clothing and put it on the rock to dry. After all, wearing wet clothes was really uncomfortable, so at this moment, she was only wearing a bodice.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi paused for a moment, then stopped in time, turned around, picked up the herbs that had fallen to the side, and took them to the pool to wash them.
Green Fairy squatted behind the big rock, feeling a little bored. Seeing him struggling to wash the herbs with one hand, she really wanted to help him.
After thinking for a moment, she put her half-dry shirt back on and went out from behind the big rock.
A shadow fell overhead. Si looked up and saw it was Lü Qiao, then quickly looked away.
"Si Yi, let me help you wash." Lü Qiao squatted down beside him, took the herbs from his hand, and put them back into the water to wash.
She washed them very carefully, cleaning the dirt off the herbs bit by bit.
Si Yi's hand was indeed badly injured, so he didn't insist on having someone else help him.
He sat down on a nearby rock, took off one sleeve, and then untied the red-stained handkerchief from his right arm.
After washing the herbs, Lü Qiao found a stone and helped him crush them.
After doing all that, Si Yi had cleaned all the blood off his arm.
Green Fairy looked up and saw that he was so badly injured, yet he hadn't uttered a sound. A strange feeling arose in her heart.
We are all made of flesh and blood, how could we not feel pain?
She knelt down beside him and, before applying the herbs to his wound, subconsciously bent down and gently blew on it.
Si was taken aback. Just as he was about to say something, he saw her carefully applying the herbs to his wound.
Immediately afterwards, she tore a strip of cloth from the hem of her dress and used it to bandage the area where the herbs had been applied.
Her actions were sudden, and by the time Si Yi tried to stop her, it was too late.
He frowned as he looked at the torn hem of her dress. "You don't have to do this. You can just tear mine."
Lü Qiao said, "Your thin clothes are covered in mud and are dirty, so they're not suitable for bandaging your wound. Mine are different; mine are clean and dried."
As she spoke, she took the blood-stained handkerchief from the side and squatted down again by the pool.
After washing the handkerchief, she was about to take it out to dry in the sun when she saw him leaning against the tree behind him with his eyes closed, his handsome face pale and bloodless.
He was still wearing wet clothes, and because of an injury to his arm, one sleeve was not on. He looked disheveled and downcast, without any of his usual arrogance.
Lu Qiao paused for a moment, then took the outer garment that was drying on the large rock for him and said softly, "Si Yi, your outer garment is dry. Take off your undershirt and I'll wash it for you and then put it out to dry."
Si Yi opened her eyes, looked down at the thin shirt she was wearing, and frowned. "No need."
"Wearing wet clothes will be uncomfortable. You can change into an outer garment." Lü Qiao took two steps closer, wanting to help him take off his undershirt.
Seeing this, Si Yi's voice deepened, "Lü Qiao, don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
Green Beauty paused for a moment. "Don't think of me as so casual. The situation is different now, and I don't think we need to be bound by formalities. Besides, you saved me, how could I turn a blind eye? Just think of me as wanting to repay your kindness."
Si paused for a moment, then pursed her lips.
While he was still in a daze, Lü Qiao reached out and took off his clothes, which were not fastened properly.
Si Yi's temple throbbed, and he was about to get angry when a scorching hot outer garment, still burning from being exposed to the sun, was draped over his shoulders.
"Wear it. Although the weather isn't cold, you're injured, and wearing wet clothes all the time isn't good for your health." After saying that, Lü Qiao took his shirt and washed it in the pool.
The right sleeve of the shirt was torn and stained with blood.
It took Lü Qiao a long time to finally wash off the bloodstains.
After hanging the clothes out to dry, she said to Si Yi, who was resting against a tree, "You rest well. I'll go gather some firewood nearby and see if there's anything to eat."
Si glanced at her, took a dagger from his boot, and handed it to her.
Green Fairy was taken aback. "What are you doing?"
"For your self-defense," Si Yi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao immediately accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
Si Yi frowned as he watched the girl walk away.
After hesitating for a moment, he was still worried and got up to follow.
Although Lü Qiao was just a servant, she didn't have to do any rough work because she had a good master.
Right now, it's quite difficult for him to gather firewood and find food in the woods on his own.
Gathering firewood was fine, there were dry branches everywhere, but as for food, she walked for a long time without finding anything to eat.
Thinking of Si Yi, who was pale and had lost so much blood, she gritted her teeth and walked deeper into the woods.
I hope to find some edible fruit.
Fortunately, her efforts paid off, and after walking for a while, she found a pear tree.
The pale yellow fruit growing on top made her very happy.
It was Sherry.
Looking at the heavy fruit hanging on the tree, she was very tempted, but the tree was too tall and she would have to climb up to pick it.
She licked her lips, walked to the base of the tree, hugged the trunk with both hands, and prepared to climb up.
She didn't notice at all that the boy was leaning against a tree not far away.
Because of his injuries, he was exhausted and drenched in cold sweat after walking for a while.
Seeing Lü Qiao clinging to the tree trunk and stubbornly climbing upwards, he did not go forward.
It took Lü Qiao a while to finally climb up the tree.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and began picking pears.
Climbing trees is not easy, so she plans to pick more.
However, the hem of her single garment had been torn off to bandage Si Yi's wound, making it a bit short and difficult to pull up to carry the pears.
She thought about it and figured that since it was in the middle of nowhere, there wouldn't be anyone around.
Do it as soon as you think of it.
She took off her single layer of clothing and used it to wrap the pear.
She picked a lot, wrapped them in her thin clothes, and when she could hardly fit any more, she stopped, tied the clothes up, put them on her back, and prepared to go down.
But then, a hissing sound came.
She instinctively turned her head and saw a spotted snake, as thick as a forearm, lying on a branch a step behind her, its head raised and its tongue flicking at her.
Cold sweat trickled down her forehead, and her legs went weak.
Just as she was wondering what to do, she saw the snake suddenly move and quickly crawl towards her.
She screamed in fright, and forgetting that she was still in the tree, she closed her eyes and jumped down.
The expected pain did not come.
She opened her eyes in confusion, and the first thing she saw was the boy's handsome chin, followed by his tightly pursed thin lips...
"Si...Si Yi?"
She called out tremblingly, but felt inexplicably at ease.
Just as Si Yi put her down, the spotted snake in the tree suddenly dangled down from the tree, opened its mouth, and lunged at the two of them.
