Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Moh Li, Mo Xiangli Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Moh Li, Mo Xiangli Could it be that he thought this was like a TV series where there are knives available at any mont, and she would use her mouth to suck out snake venom for him?
Dream on, not an ounce of common sense.
“Either use this knife, or keep looking like that.”
She couldn’t be bothered to coddle him, save him or not. Anyway, she wasn’t too keen on saving soone who might be the male lead, but, after all, it was a human life, a living human life.
“Fine, fine, use this.”
What was this but a mighty tiger fallen and bullied by dogs. Anyway, things had co to this; he couldn’t say anything else.
Bai Zhi didn’t speak, but swiftly brought the knife down and made a firm cut. Dark blood ca out, which Bai Zhi pressed hard to expel until there was no more. Only then did she pour the dicine Powder on the wound.
“Ah, it hurts so much.”
The boy yelled out loud and then fainted again.
So easily knocked out?
Was this person made of glass, so fragile?
It was then that Baby Face spoke up with certainty.
“You’ve got Chonglou and Bidens here.”
He identified the ingredients of the dicine Powder in an instant.
Wow, an expert, huh? So, had he co here to collect herbs?
But, could he have been feigning unconsciousness just now?
“I ca here looking for herbs. Where did you collect the Chonglou from? It slls very authentic.”
They had co here upon learning by chance that there were genuine Chonglou around, known for their excellent dicinal properties.
“This isn’t what I collected; I bought it.”
Bai Zhi didn’t even think before responding. With the blind eye technique around, that old man certainly wouldn’t want the location known.
Since it was grown by soone else, naturally she had no right to tell anyone else.
Bai Zhi walked straight over to Baby Face and with the sa swift action—knife down, squeezed blood, applied dicine. Throughout the process, Baby Face didn’t make a sound, nor did his expression change.
This cutely enduring little brother, Bai Zhi thought of simply walking away but then stopped to look at the endearing Baby Face.
“Do you have any money on you?”
“Yes, what about it?”
Baby Face found it odd. Why would this plain-looking girl ask if he had money?
“I’ve saved you, and these herbs also cost money. After this, we’re even.”
She would have preferred to pass by without helping, but it was still a human life, and she didn’t want to be entangled with a potential main character. Best to take their money and avoid any further interaction.
“Okay.”
Bai Zhi had expected to see a look of disdain but was surprised when Baby Face agreed without hesitation.
Well, that was good.
Baby Face thought the sa. This way, he didn’t feel indebted to her, as he particularly disliked owing people favors.
Baby Face took out his money, a lot of it in hundreds, so in fifties and tens.
Keeping only a hundred for himself, he handed all the rest to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi didn’t hesitate to take it.
Without any surprise, this move made Baby Face take another look at her.
There must have been at least 1,000 yuan in his bag, which she stashed in her own without a glance and turned to leave.
“You’re just going to leave us here?”
After taking the money, the least she could do was lead them down the mountain.
“The snake venom isn’t too potent, and I’ve applied dicine; you can get down on your own.”
Accompany them down the mountain? It was enough that she saved them.
“Don’t you want to know my na?”
Baby Face was curious. With their looks, wherever they went, people asked for their nas.
“No, you’re too noisy.”
Bai Zhi walked past him, Baby Face frowning as he watched her.
“What are you going to do?”
Bai Zhi shook her head with pity, her gaze on Baby Face tinged with a touch of regret.
“Tsk tsk tsk, such a cute kid, always with a stern face. Is that fun? You should smile more to be cute. I’m not doing anything; I’m leaving.”
At first, I wanted to knock him out, but seeing his darkened expression, he really wasn’t cute.
However,
“I’m your lifesaver, am I not?”
Bai Zhi blinked her eyes, suddenly reminded of sothing.
“That’s not right, I’ve already given you money, so we’re even.”
Bai Fei frowned, not quite understanding what this little girl was up to again.
“Little brother, co let your sister pinch your cheeks.”
Bai Zhi smiled mischievously, like a weird sister who bullied children, walked over, stretched out her hand, and began to pinch Bai Fei’s cheeks.
Wow, it’s really fun to pinch,
No wonder so many people like to pinch children’s cheeks,
Soft and tender, they feel so delicate when pinched.
Pinching and pinching, my mood seed to improve significantly,
“Let go of ! If I weren’t weakened by poison right now, I definitely wouldn’t let you get away with this.”
Bai Fei was infuriated; when had he ever been so disrespected?
To actually pinch his cheeks!
“Tsk, so stingy. Fine, I won’t pinch then.”
Bai Zhi stood up and was about to walk away; she had satisfied her urge to pinch soone’s face. For a long ti, she had wanted to pinch a child’s cheeks, but it was embarrassing to do so if they weren’t her own.
With this one, it was different—she was the lifesaver, after all.
Because Bai Zhi had not returned, Bai Fei grew concerned and ca down to see what was going on, looking utterly puzzled.
“What’s this all about?”
Bai Fei was surprised, seeing two strangers appear in the village, both dressed quite nicely. Her gaze shifted to the unconscious boy, wow, he was really handso.
Even more so than her brother.
He was like, as described in books, a prince, even asleep. She wanted to take another look…
“It’s nothing; they were bitten by snakes, and I applied so dicine. Let’s go, or else all the mountain pears will be picked clean.”
Bai Zhi quickly positioned herself in front of Bai Fei, blocking her line of sight. These two were nothing but trouble, better not to look.
Although Bai Fei thought the guy looked pretty handso, she was a foodie, naturally prioritizing eating.
So her eyes glittered.
“It’s fine then, let’s go. We should hurry and pick mountain pears, Bai Zhi, co on.”
Bai Fei pulled Bai Zhi and began to clamber up, her mind fixated on mountain pears. However, occasionally she would look back at that strangely handso person.
Bai Fei never expected that the ugly girl would really just leave like that.
He had not even told her his na yet,
Really too quick to give up; if she had asked once more, and had been a bit nicer, maybe he still would have told her. His na was… Chonglou…
Chonglou, Mo Xiangli.
When Bai Zhi and her companion reached the walnut forest, so children were already there. But her target was the sowhat sour, sowhat sweet mountain pears, to make mountain pear preserves.
So, the two didn’t linger and walked straight up. It took a while before they saw the Mountain Pear Forest because if not picked well, mountain pears could be sour. Hence, not many children were here, and the trees were high and dangerous.
Climbing the trees was troubleso for others, and even though the village kids could all climb, these particular mountain pear trees were difficult due to their straight and slender trunks, making it easy to fall.
But this was no problem for Strong Zhi.
She took out a fishing net—yes, a fishing net—tied it around the mountain pear trees, and the mont to witness tree shaking was upon us.
Rustle, rattle,
Bai Zhi was ferocious, frightening Bai Fei who was standing by. But she also really liked it, enjoyed it imnsely.
The mountain pears all fell, landing in the net, just needing to be collected. They filled a basket each halfway and then untied the net. Bai Fei, exhausted, plopped down onto a nearby rock.
“Bai Zhi, should we have lunch now?”
Bai Zhi was left helpless. What could she say?
“Sure, let’s eat!”
Bai Zhi pulled out the basket. This ti there were two, and they began to devour the pancakes, hungrily.
Feeling a bit thirsty, Bai Zhi washed so mountain pears in a creek. Bringing them back, the two began to munch.
