Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 48 Do you think you've done right by her?

In the silent night, with sparse starlight in the sky, Qi Yan carried Fang Shiming into the forest.

"Boss, we'll be discovered if you bring me along..."

Fang Shiming spoke with difficulty; although the wound on his lower abdomen was not large, it was bleeding heavily.

He probably won't be able to go back this time. He shouldn't become a burden before he dies, so as not to drag his boss down.

Qi Yan's eyes darkened. As the sound of hooves drew closer, he silently quickened his pace. This was the border area between Gona and Cui'an. Judging from the cow dung along the way, there should only be some herders living in this area.

The group of people put him and Fang Shiming in the car, threw them into the back seat, and drove eastward.

Qi Yan was jolted awake. Seeing the two people in the front seat and the injured Fang Shiming, he could only close his eyes and pretend to be unconscious while eavesdropping on their conversation, waiting for his strength to recover.

From their words, which were full of praise and criticism of China, Qi Yan had already determined that they were enemy agents.

Several times during the journey, he almost lost his temper and wanted to beat the two of them up.

An opportunity arose when the car broke down on the road. One person got out to check, while the other stayed in the car to watch over Qi Yan and Fang Shiming.

When a car breaks down, you can only wait for someone behind you to catch up and help you fix it.

Qi Yan seized the opportunity and quickly used the skills he had learned as a child to break free of the ropes and swiftly took down the two men.

With the main force still behind, Qi Yan had to hurry and leave, so he carried Fang Shiming and ran away.

Fang Shiming's blood stained Qi Yan's clothes, and the strong smell of blood filled the air, making people want to vomit.

Qi Yan put Fang Shiming down, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly pulled out a packet of small brown pills wrapped in newspaper from his pocket.

These are the pills that Sisi forced into his pocket on the day she left, telling him to take one if he was seriously injured.

Without hesitation, Qi Yan forcefully grabbed Fang Shiming's chin, forced him to open his mouth, and decisively threw the medicine in.

"Boss, what did you give me to eat?"

"I don't know, my sister-in-law gave it to me. She said it could save my life in a critical moment."

Fang Shiming forced a bitter smile, "What a waste of your medicine, sister-in-law. I'm afraid there's no way to save someone like me who's about to die. Boss, when you get back, you must thank your sister-in-law for me."

Although he said he wanted to die, Fang Shiming was still unwilling, yet helpless.

He could clearly feel his life slipping away, and his emotions were complex, a longing for life and a fear of death. As he thought about it, he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

He really wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Qi Yan noticed that something was wrong with Fang Shiming. "If you want to thank him, go back and thank him in person! Hang in there, there are herdsmen around here. Once I find a barefoot doctor, everything will be fine. Can you bear to see your new wife remain a widow for the rest of her life?"

Qi Yan lowered his voice, which was drowned out by the sounds of insects and frogs in the woods.

The forest was quite large, and it would be easy to hide two people in the dark when visibility was poor. The only difficulty was that Fang Shiming's physical condition did not allow him to hide any longer.

As Fang Shiming closed his eyes, he recalled his first meeting with Guo Xiaolan. She had long hair draped over her shoulders, a diamond-encrusted hair clip in her hair, and wore a sky-blue long dress. Her eyes looked at him timidly.

He could make her blush and shyly avoid eye contact with him just by saying a few words to her.

Whether it was the medicine Ji Sisi gave him that worked, or Qi Yan's words that touched Fang Shiming's heart, he continued to hold on, and his blood loss began to decrease.

"Woof—woof—woof—"

Just when Qi Yan thought the group had left, a large dog rushed through the woods and headed straight for them, while a beam of light pierced the darkness and shone on them.

"What are you doing!"

A man carrying a flashlight jogged up to the two men. His eyes widened when he saw the dog frantically sniffing Fang Shiming's blood. He shone the flashlight on Qi Yan's face. Good heavens! He'd only come out to check if the traps he'd set that afternoon had caught any wild rabbits or pheasants, and now he saw two people, covered in blood!

Could it be some dangerous individual who escaped? He's really having bad luck!
Qiao Dazhuang swallowed hard, then took off running, shouting, "Dahuang, let's go home!"

Qi Yan caught up with the man effortlessly and pleaded, "We're not bad people, please help us, I'll definitely repay you handsomely."

Qiao Dazhuang ignored him completely and only wanted to get away, but the difference in strength was simply too great.

Qiao Dazhuang could only turn back willingly, silently praying and vowing never to hunt wild game again.

Ji Sisi often woke up at night, sitting on the bed restlessly thinking about things.

"System, can you detect that Qi Yan is still alive?"

[System]: "No."

The system's answer was very concise and to the point.

Ji Sisi rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought. She was awake anyway, and it was only six in the morning. What should she do?

By the way, her apple seedlings should have sprouted by now.

Ji Sisi ran to the balcony and saw the saplings that were already the size of a palm. She stood there, frozen in place, unable to react for a long time.

She touched the leaves of the sapling, shocked, and quickly realized the wonder of the space.

Could it be that the "golden finger" of space can accelerate the growth rate of plants?

She decided to leave the sapling for a few more days until it grew to about 20 centimeters, when the survival rate would be higher, before transplanting it.

After studying the saplings, Ji Sisi looked up at the time again and it had changed from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.

It's almost time. She had arranged to go to the grassland with Shen Zichen to dig for caterpillar fungus today. Before the sun came out and the weather was still cool, she had to hurry over.

Ji Sisi carried a small basket on her back, with a small hoe inside, and left home.

Ji Sisi hadn't been here for a week. The grass on the grassland was greener than last time, and colorful wildflowers dotted the vast grassland. The air was fresh, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The sunlight shone on the distant mountains, turning the snow-capped peaks into golden mountains, their gleaming summits captivating the eye.

Shen Zichen also came. He was carrying a basket on his back today, wearing the same clothes as last time, and had a simple and honest smile.

“You’re here really early. A few days ago I went to another mountain to look for firewood and found that the cordyceps there were more and better than here, but it’s a bit far.”

Shen Zichen put down his basket, took out a small cloth bag, and showed it the cordyceps he had dug up yesterday. "I dug these up yesterday afternoon, take a look."

Ji Sisi squatted down and discovered that the cordyceps in Shen Zichen's bag were twice the size of the ones on the other side.

When Ji Sisi heard about the better cordyceps, her eyes lit up. She felt that her heart condition was the biggest obstacle to her development.

Not only can digging for caterpillar fungus earn money, but the process is also very stress-relieving. Ji Sisi really enjoys the feeling of immersing herself in doing something.

Thinking of another mountain of cordyceps, she was already itching to get started.

Ji Sisi plans to dig up more at once to reduce the frequency of changing the cordyceps.

Wang Cuicui saw her like she saw a cat or a mouse, and wanted nothing more than to find fault with her.

As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." She feared that one day Wang Cuicui would find out that Zhang Qianjin had helped her and use it as an excuse to cause trouble.

“Okay, but I heard from the members of our team that there are many wild animals on the mountain. We will dig at the foot of the mountain, and you must not go up the mountain.”
