Chapter 110

"Ah! I hit it!" Zhou Chenyu exclaimed happily. It was the first prey she had shot since entering the mountain, which was of great significance.She ran out in spite of the rain to pick up the milestones on her hunting journey.

Yang Xi stared blankly after the pretty figure in the rain. It was very different from the messy and cunning figure in his impression. The corner of his mouth quietly raised a curve without knowing it.

Zhou Chenyu came back with the trophies. The rain suddenly stopped at this time. She smiled slightly and said, "Tonight's meal is ready. You are injured, so I can patch it up for you."

Yang Xi stood up with difficulty and couldn't help but be happy for her, saying: "Chen Yu, I didn't know you had such good skills. Your archery skills are almost as good as those of our government agencies."

Zhou Chenyu snorted proudly, "Tsk, it's just hunting. If you men can do it, so can we women! Don't underestimate others."

"I never meant this." Yang Xi explained seriously, "In this world, there are many women who are stronger than men."

Zhou Chenyu looked at him in surprise. After a while, he pinned the chicken to his waist and stretched his arms over his shoulders, "Unknowingly, the afternoon has passed and it will soon get dark. If you don't go back, you will have to spend the night here."

She said with a bad mouth, "Boss Yang, if you don't mind it, why don't you and the little girl go back to my little shabby house to stay for one night?"

Yang Xi paused, not very grateful, "You took me in, I'm so happy that it's too late, how can I dislike you?"

Zhou Chenyu walked to him with a smile, got into his arms, took his right hand to support his body, raised his head and teased him:
"I'm not worried. It's not good for you to be alone in the same room as me. Of course, I know that you are definitely not that kind of person."

"I..." Yang Xi looked at Zhou Chenyu's cunning eyes, his face suddenly turned red, he pursed his lips and smiled, leaning towards her, "Please take care of me."

"Huangdou, let's go home." Zhou Chenyu shouted to Huangdou, holding Yang Xi's waist with one hand and grabbing his arm with the other. The two looked after each other and returned to the wooden house together.

Zhou Chenyu only wore his outer shirt, but it was still empty inside. He was uncomfortable because of the wear and tear. When he returned to the wooden house, he immediately changed his clothes.By the time she got dressed and walked out of the house, the fire in the iron frame had already been lit by Yang Xi.

Zhou Chenyu was afraid that he would bump into her and cause new injuries, so she quickly took the fire seal from his hand and pushed him back to the chair, "Didn't I tell you not to move? I'll just do it."

Yang Xi watched Zhou Chenyu busy there, while he, being a man, sat there.

He was at a loss as to what to do, so he picked some firewood and added it to the iron frame, saying: "The yamen catchers are out arresting criminals all year round. They have to travel through mountains and rivers. There is no food in the mountains. We also hunt a few pheasants and rabbits like we do now." Roast it and eat it.”

"You men are rough and like to bake to save trouble. I'm not like that."

Zhou Chenyu waited for the hot water in the pot to boil, poured it on the pheasant hair, scalded it once, and removed the pheasant hair several times, and then removed the internal organs.

After removing the internal organs and washing them with plenty of cold water to remove the blood, Zhou Chenyu carried his things and went out.

In the past, she would even avoid the wet market and live poultry market, let alone such bloody things as killing chickens and fish.But here, the living environment is harsh, and if you want to have a good meal, you have to do it yourself.

Fortunately, Li Xiuju was busy with her work, so she gradually got started.She quickly slaughtered the chicken and carried it back to the wooden house. She saw Yang Xi busy at work in the distance.

He didn't listen to her words and sat down to recover from his injuries. Even working with a wooden stick could not distract him.

Zhou Chenyu took a closer look and saw that the wild onions and ginger on the plate had been washed, saving her a lot of work.

She stood behind him and stared at him, surprised and said: "Hey, I see your familiar actions, do you often cook?" Yang Xi tilted his head and looked at her, "When I was a child, my mother-in-law was in the kitchen. She was busy with work and often asked me and my father to help her."

"It's rare for men to enter the kitchen here." Zhou Chenyu smiled, filled the pot with water, put in a bunch of wild onions and a few slices of ginger and boiled it. There weren't many seasonings brought up this time, so I wanted to rely on them. To make a delicious meal with simple ingredients, the best choice is undoubtedly her specialty plain-cut chicken.

The pheasant was older than she expected, and the meat was a bit tough, so it took nearly half an hour to blanch it.

After the meal was cooked, the light around the wooden house dimmed quietly, and the oil lamp lit up on the table. Zhou Chenyu brought the rice soup to the table and helped Yang Xi sit down at the table.

Zhou Chenyu handed him the chopsticks, "In our house, the old lady usually cooks, and I rarely go to the kitchen. You taste it first to see if it suits your taste."

Yang Xi glanced at the dishes, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

Zhou Chenyu waited for his reaction, "Does it taste okay?"

Yang Xi opened his eyes and looked at her, nodding his head affirmatively, "Well, it tastes very good."

"Really? Then you eat more." Zhou Chenyu held up his chin and looked at Yang Xi. He was wearing cheap cloth and his face was pitifully pale and haggard. But even in such a predicament, Yang Xi's behavior while eating was still the same. It can reveal the strict upbringing of the children of aristocratic families, and is not unconventional at all.

Did she call him a reckless man before?

He's probably blind.

After dinner, they gathered hot water and took a bath each.

The herbs for Yang Xi's shoulder injury were supposed to be replaced three times a day, but they were delayed at noon. Zhou Chenyu pounded a round of herbs again and brought them to Yang Xi. "Only these herbs can be found here. You can use them for now. I will help you change them." Medicine, or do you do it yourself?"

Yang Xi glanced sideways at the injury and smiled weakly, "Thank you, let me do it myself."

Zhou Chenyu looked at his injuries. She was not a meticulous person and was afraid of accidentally hurting him.

"Okay." She put down the medicinal herbs and moved the oil lamp towards him. "Then you apply the medicine and I will bandage it for you."

Yang Xi sat upright on the bed, unbuttoned the clothes on one side of his shoulder, and exposed the wound. As expected, the scar that had been soaked by the rain opened again. Blood and water spread around the bloody wound, with some scabs and soft tissue on it. Dead skin.

Zhou Chenyu felt pain just by looking at it. When the herbs were applied later, the pain could be imagined.

She came in with a dry handkerchief and wiped away the blood. She tilted her head, not daring to look at the medicine for a few seconds.

Yang Xi held the medicinal herbs in his right hand and was silent for a long time. His face was sullen and he pressed the wound without blinking. The medicinal juice seeped from the wound into the limbs and bones. The pain from the bruised bones and peeled skin made him instantly grit his teeth and lose control of his body. The place trembles.

Zhou Chenyu heard his painful and restrained groaning and couldn't help but look at him from the corner of his eye.

Yang Xi closed his eyes tightly, with fine sweat on his forehead. He was trying his best to endure it, but in the end he couldn't bear the pain of the knife wound. The pain was so painful that he gritted his teeth several times and loosened them. The next second, he tightened them again, and finally even the veins in his neck were numb. It has exploded and almost burst.
