Chapter VI: Distress

Shen Muyao never charges money for medical treatment for the people, and she lives alone, so she only opens half an acre of thin fields on the mountain, and she can support herself by growing vegetables alone. Now that there is one more Xiao Heng, it is a little powerless. Xiao Heng didn't want to burden her, and often went to the mountains to hunt some game and eat. There was nothing to do on this day, so Shen Muyao also wanted to go with Xiao Heng to have a look, and pick some herbs by the way. But last time she left such a bad impression on Xiao Heng, afraid that he would think she was cumbersome, and she didn't know how to speak.

Xiao Heng saw that she had been absent-minded all morning, and she had knocked over the plate of medicinal herbs by mistake, squatting down and frowning with a look of chagrin, which was really cute. But he couldn't figure out her thoughts, so he could only observe her secretly. After lunch, Xiao Heng was about to go up the mountain, and when he was about to go out with a quiver on his back, Shen Muyao spoke up: "Xiao, Xiao Gongzi, can you take me?" I'd like to check it out too. โ€

Xiao Heng saw that she had been thinking about this all morning, and nodded funny: "If you want to go, you can go, you said not to be so rusty at the beginning, why are you so alienated from me now." โ€

Shen Muyao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she couldn't see her teeth when she smiled. That smile sprinkled into the hearts of others with the noonday sun.

Xiao Heng was not very lucky today, he couldn't see his prey after walking for a long time, at most only a few frightened birds skimmed over the branches. However, Shen Muyao picked a lot of commonly used herbs, I don't know if it was because of this or something else, she kept smiling. After walking for a long time, he only caught a few small birds, Xiao Heng was a little anxious, it is common to not be able to hunt animals, but today I don't know why I am a little nervous.

With a bang, a pheasant fell down in response, and Xiao Heng went to pick it up. This is the biggest harvest of the day, and his mood is much better. Before he could raise his smile, an exclamation suddenly came from behind him: "Ah! โ€

Shen Muyao saw that there was an herb that was not easy to find by the big tree, so she was a little happy and stepped forward to pick it up. But before she turned around to share her joy with Xiao Heng, she faced a long snake letter and screamed.

Xiao Heng saw that she was in distress and hurriedly came. The snake was slightly brightly colored, more than two meters long. Shen Muyao recognized it - her grandfather once told her that there was a poisonous snake in this mountain, and once she was bitten, she would be unconscious, and her grandfather also showed her a snake skin - this is the case.

She was so frightened that her whole body froze in place, and her face turned a little white. Xiao Heng signaled with her eyes that she didn't need to panic and don't move. Then he took out an arrow from the quiver and set up an aimโ€”this arrow must be seven inches in one shot, otherwise it is likely to bring danger to Shen Muyao. The hand holding the bow gradually oozed sweat, and a panic welled up in his heart, which he forcibly suppressed. Now that he was the only one here who could save her, he had to have twelve points of composure.

He took arrows, took bows, and aimed, and Shen Muyao kept looking at him. His look calmed her heart. She believed in Xiao Heng.

Aim.

The moment the arrow stabbed out, Shen Muyao closed her eyes. She could clearly hear the sound of arrows tearing through the air.

The tail feathers shuddered, and the snake was nailed to the tree next door.

Xiao Heng exhaled.

Shen Muyao opened her eyes.

She rushed over and hugged him.

Shen Muyao did this subconsciously, her body moved faster than her brain. She hugged him very tightly.

Xiao Heng took two steps back after being knocked before he reacted. The girl's soft body was buried in his arms, and his heart was also a soft mess.
