Chapter 30: Returning Home
The bamboo is unusually thick and tall, and the leaves almost completely cover the top of the forest, making the light of the forest a little dim.
Ye Xiaoying looked at this gloomy forest, thinking that there would be fierce beasts in the forest, she couldn't help but tighten Xiao Hei's rope a little nervously, looked around vigilantly, and continued to walk forward, thinking about the place where she saw the herbs last time.
She looked for it as she walked, but suddenly, Xiao Hei suddenly leaned down for some reason and barked loudly.
Ye Xiaoying was nervous in her heart, and quickly shouted, picked up the machete, and looked around nervously.
But after she watched carefully, she didn't notice any movement around, and when there was no movement after a while, she had to put away the machete, looked at Xiao Hei, who was still barking wildly, shrugged her shoulders in confusion, and prepared to pull it on.
But Xiao Hei didn't go with her now, although he stopped screaming under her scolding, he still pricked up his ears very vigilantly and looked around.
Ye Xiaoying was helpless, so she simply hadn't rested since she went up the mountain, so she decided to sit down and rest for a while.
And what she didn't know was that at this moment, on a tall bamboo not far from her, a poisonous snake with colorful scales and a body length of one meter was coiled on it, spitting snake hyacinth from time to time, looking at Ye Xiaoying under the tree with bright eyes, slowly twisting its body and approaching her.
And Ye Xiaoying was resting, not noticing its existence at all, only Xiao Hei was still sniffing, but he didn't notice where the danger was.
Finally, the poisonous snake sped up its speed, frantically spitting out the snake hyacinth, and only about two meters away from them, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Ye Xiaoying, who had no protective measures!
"Woohoo! Barking! ”
Xiao Hei was always on guard, so he knew the danger the moment the poisonous snake moved! It first barked loudly to remind Ye Xiaoying, and then suddenly pounced on the poisonous snake, biting its seven inches quickly and steadily!
"Shhh
The snake didn't expect this dog to be so powerful, and when he was careless, he was directly restrained by it, but he was still struggling, rolling his body, and wanted to entangle Xiao Hei to death!
Xiao Hei was naturally not to be outdone, but increased the strength in his mouth and stalemate with the snake.
And Ye Xiaoying was already frightened by this sudden change, her scalp was numb, and she sat down directly on the ground, watching Xiao Hei fight with the poisonous snake, and she was extremely frightened and extremely happy in her heart!
If she didn't bring Xiao Hei up the mountain this time, it is estimated that she would really not be able to go back!
The fight between Xiao Hei and the poisonous snake was not long, because Xiao Hei was really brave and huge, the poisonous snake was bitten to seven inches, and he couldn't exert all his strength at all, so he soon stopped moving, and unwillingly closed his eyes that were extremely vicious when he looked at it.
But Xiao Hei didn't let go of it, but bit the snake's head hard before holding it in his mouth, wagging his tail excitedly and running towards Ye Xiaoying as if asking for merit.
Ye Xiaoying was still extremely scared, and sat down on the ground again when she saw this, after all, let alone women, even men rarely have composure in the face of this kind of thing.
"Don't come here!"
She scolded loudly, and Xiao Hei stopped obediently, but the incomprehensible and aggrieved eyes made Ye Xiaoying really helpless.
She pointed to the snake's head and motioned for Xiao Hei to put it down, so that she could let it come, and she touched Xiao Hei's head gratefully, "Thank you for being there today." ”
However, she thought of the purpose of the trip, and after resting for a while, she picked herself up again and continued to look for herbs.
After looking around for a long time, finally, on a hillside not far ahead, she finally saw a patch of green herbs.
"Hah! Finally found you! ”
Ye Xiaoying became excited, and after quickly picking some herbs, she quickly walked home.
When she came down the mountain, she always had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and although there were a few scratches on her white wrist that she had accidentally cut just now, she didn't care at all.
At this time, all she could think about was Li Tiezhu's injury.
At this moment, the blue sky was gradually occupied by fiery clouds, and it turned out that it was almost night.
"If you don't go back quickly, you'll be in trouble going down the mountain."
Ye Xiaoying frowned slightly, carried the basket on her shoulder, and walked down the mountain with a staggering step along the trail with a cane made of makeshift branches in her right hand.
She thought that Tie Zhu would be resting on the bed at home because of the injury on his leg. But when Ye Xiaoying returned home in a hurry, she was stunned to see a familiar figure sitting at the door of her house.
"Iron Pillar, why are you sitting at the door? There is still a wound on his leg, why don't you go back to the house and lie down? ”
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoying rushed to him with an arrow and helped him directly into the house.
Li Tiezhu didn't resist in the slightest, because he was already in tears after seeing Ye Xiaoying's figure coming back, and at this moment, he let her move and walked towards the house step by step.
Ye Xiaoying didn't say more, she looked at his pale cheeks, she was so haggard, how could she have the radiant appearance on weekdays? He must have been worried about her all the time.
Helping him lie on the bed again, Ye Xiaoying looked at the moist color in his eyes, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm just going to pick some medicine on this trip, and now that I've come back, you should rest assured." ”
That knows, Li Tiezhu's generous palm shook Ye Xiaoying's hand when he heard this, and in her surprised eyes, he slowly spoke: "Lady, since I picked you up, you are my lady, how can I not worry about you?" ”
Ye Xiaoying was moved, but suddenly felt that the temperature of his palm was too hot, and when she was confused, she couldn't help but withdraw her hand from his hand, and the back of her warm hand naturally put it on his forehead.
The hot touch shocked her heart, and he had a fever!
But fortunately, there are also fever-reducing medicines in the medicine she collected.
"You, you really make me feel uncomfortable." Ye Xiaoying couldn't help but think about it, and then quickly got up and prepared to find herbs.
But Li Tiezhu grabbed her with great guilt, lowered his head, and apologized aggrievedly like a child who had done something wrong, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, you just need to get up quickly, you be good, I'll get you some medicine."
Ye Xiaoying waved her hand funny, and after breaking free from him, she walked straight outside the house.
According to the memory of Chinese medicine she had studied in her previous life, Ye Xiaoying sat on the stone table in the courtyard, meticulously took out the herbs she had picked before from the bamboo basket, and prepared the medicine in an orderly manner.
The conditions in the countryside were naturally absent, and the era in which she lived was exquisite.
She had to use a rolling pin instead of a stick to pound the medicine, and laboriously borrowed a wooden basin to carry out the process of pounding the medicine.
