Chapter 154 Bitten by a snake
Down the mountain, a friend whom He Jing hadn't seen in a long time came to visit.
When Yu Qingchuan, dressed in white, appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, He Wuyang, a young girl who was writing absentmindedly, was the first to notice him.
"Brother Yu!"
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she put down her brush and ran out of the yard to welcome the person in.
When Yu Qingchuan saw the little girl running towards him, he smiled. His gentle and refined demeanor made Lu Shi'an in the courtyard a little envious and jealous.
Hearing the commotion outside, Mrs. He hurriedly came out of the kitchen. Upon seeing that it was her daughter's savior, she warmly invited him to sit down and have some tea.
Yu Qingchuan's smile was gentle and pure. He said softly, "I came here to collect herbs and took the opportunity to visit you. I apologize for disturbing you."
He Wuyang thought this guy was exceptionally handsome. Although his older brother was also handsome, he was the kind of handsome that made people hesitant to approach him.
The Brother Yu in front of me is different; he has a kind of aura that makes people want to get closer to him.
The little girl sat to the side, chattering away, "Brother Yu, are you looking for herbs? I can show you the way, and I know quite a few herbs myself; my sister-in-law taught me."
Upon hearing the little girl's words, Yu Qingchuan's eyes lit up, and he asked softly, "Miss Ye... uh... where is Doctor Ye? Where did he go?"
He remembered the way He Jing had looked at him earlier, and immediately changed his words.
The little girl's eyes sparkled: "She and my older brother went up the mountain, they should be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingchuan's expression remained gentle as he slowly took a sip of tea.
Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Lu Shi'an pulled He Wuyou outside and asked, "Wuyou, who is that young man in white?"
He Wuyou replied truthfully, "He is my sister's savior. Once, when Ayang fell into the river, he was the one who helped rescue her."
Lu Shi'an stroked his chin and nodded.
So that's how it is. Suddenly, Yu Qingchuan seems much more pleasing to the eye.
The next second, he saw the other person pat He Wuyang's round head, and the little girl was smiling foolishly.
snort!
I still find it a bit irritating no matter how I look at it.
He Wuyou stared at Lu Shi'an, noticing the inscrutable expression on his face, and asked, "Do you know him?"
Lu Shi'an shook his head, a sour expression on his face: "I don't know him."
A hint of doubt flashed in He Wuyou's eyes: "Then why do you seem to be a little hostile towards Brother Yu?"
Lu Shi'an lowered his eyes and said dismissively, "What nonsense are you talking about? You must have seen it wrong."
……
Ye Xiaoxiao and her group quickly found a dense bamboo forest.
With a few swift strokes of his knife, He Jing chopped down a considerable amount of bamboo.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't offer any help, so she simply bent down and started searching for herbs.
At this time of year, vegetation flourishes, and medicinal herbs naturally thrive as well.
Before long, they had collected quite a few good herbs.
"Ah Jing, look at me!"
She waved the herbs in her hand and looked at He Jing, who was chopping bamboo on the other side.
He Jing glanced over, a smile playing on his lips, and added a word of caution: "Xiao Xiao, be careful."
As the weather grew warmer, the muscular man revealed his two strong arms, muscular and well-defined, yet a captivatingly doting smile played on his lips, his eyes practically drowning in their glow. He looked...
Before Ye Xiaoxiao could decide on a word to describe it, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her calf.
"hiss--"
She looked down and saw a rather arrogant snake tail quickly slither into the bushes beside her.
Ye Xiaoxiao: ...I only indulged in beauty for a little while, didn't I?
She lifted her trouser leg and, sure enough, saw a row of neat bite marks on her left calf, with two sizable bloody holes.
Finished!
It's a poisonous snake!
Ye Xiaoxiao steadied herself and called out to He Jing, "Jing, I've been bitten by a snake."
Her tone was extremely casual, as if she were asking someone what they had for breakfast.
Upon hearing this, He Jing immediately threw down the machete in his hand and strode forward, arriving in front of Ye Xiaoxiao in the blink of an eye.
He carried the person to a large tree and sat them down, his brows furrowed with anxiety. He quickly asked:
"Where did it bite?"
Ye Xiaoxiao pulled up her trouser leg and pointed to the wound.
On her fair and smooth calves, several bite marks were shocking, and the wounds were beginning to turn red and blue.
This is... a snake bite?
Every year, people in Dongyuan Village die from snakebites; once bitten, there is no hope of recovery.
A flicker of panic quickly crossed He Jing's eyes. He sat down on the ground, placed Ye Xiaoxiao's legs on his own, and bent down to suck out the poison.
