Mingjue was a man of few words. Facing Langyue's questioning, he did not explain too much, "I am a doctor, I will not harm her."

After packing up the medicine box, he left.

Lang Yue looked at his departing back, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he was also worried that if he killed this man, no one would be able to take care of Yao Jia if anything happened.

He didn't dare to leave. Yao Jia's slightest movement startled him and he stood up to observe.

After he touched Yaojia's forehead several times to check if she had a fever, Yaojia finally couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed that hand.

With tiredness, he said helplessly: "Langyue, stop making trouble, I'm so sleepy!"

"But Yaoyao, the snake venom..."

Yao Jia didn't open her eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She rubbed Lang Yue's hand on her cheek and said, "The poison is nothing to be afraid of. Take a rest. I will be fine..."

The sound gradually faded and his breathing became even again.

Lang Yue listened to Yao Jia's even breathing, and the warmth of her cheek still lingering in his palm, and he felt a little more at ease.

I stayed by Yaojia's bed, fearing that she might feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night.

As soon as Mingjue returned to the room, he saw Huaichuan, dressed in black, leaning on a small table by the window, holding a wooden human-shaped puppet on the table and fiddling with the puppet's limbs.

Seeing him coming back, Huaichuan put down the puppet and asked, "Is Junior Sister Yao really okay?"

Ming Jue walked over slowly and sat down opposite him. "It's okay. She has a poison-repelling Gu in her body, so ordinary toxins won't harm her."

"Anti-poison Gu?" Huaichuan looked at Mingjue with a complicated look in his eyes. The anti-poison Gu was the most precious treasure in Miaojiang. Only the Gu King could make it, and he could only make one in his lifetime.

"Who is she? She has such a precious treasure in her body."

Mingjue lowered his eyes, "I don't know."

……

The next day, Yao Jia slept until noon before waking up.

As soon as he woke up, he howled in shock, "Langyue, why didn't you wake me up? It's already so late."

Yao Jia put on her clothes in a panic. She felt that if she went out at this time, she would definitely be punished to death by Xuan Ying. She was getting anxious.

Mingjue pushed the door open and told Yaojia not to panic, "I have asked for leave for you. You can rest for the next two days."

Yao Jia stared at Ming Jue with eyes wide open in disbelief, "Can I rest for two days?"

At this time, Lang Yue came in with food and said with a smile: "Ming Jue asked Brother Huai to apply for leave for you yesterday. Master Xuan Ying came to see you this morning and said that it is hot in summer. You don't have to travel between the two places when you get better. He will come to teach you the daily courses in the future, and then go to the Shadow Guard Camp in autumn."

"real!"

Yao Jia was overjoyed. She had never thought that after being bitten by a snake, she would actually gain such a big reward. It was a shame that she had thrown a stone at the snake yesterday. What a shame! What a shame!

However, after a day's rest, Yao Jia complained that she was bored and insisted that Lang Yue take her for a walk at the foot of Mingyang Mountain.

Lang Yue felt helpless. Although he often went down the mountain to buy things, he was always in a hurry and had no time to wander around the foot of the mountain.

Ming Jue saw his embarrassment, put down the medicine bottle in his hand, stood up and said: "Today is Tianfu Festival, there are too many people on the street, and you still have a leg injury, so it's better not to go to crowded places."

Tianfu Festival is also known as "June 6th", "Washing and Drying Festival" and "Aunt's Festival". Traditionally, this day is suitable for drying clothes and books. People will also bring married girls, young and old, back to their parents' homes, treat them well, and then send them back.

As time went by, on the day of Tianfu Festival, there would be a big market in Mingyang Mountain, the streets would be hung with colorful silk cloths, and there would be large-scale singing parties in the evening.

Yao Jia wanted to go down the mountain to play even more after hearing this. She patted her injured ankle and said, "This little injury is nothing serious. It would be a waste of these two blood holes if she didn't join in the fun. Let's go, let's go. I've been bored here for so long that I'm almost growing hair."

After Yao Jia's constant urging and persuasion, Lang Yue finally gave in.

When they were about to leave, Yaojia pulled Mingjue up as well, "You can come with us, it will be more lively with more people."

Mingjue wanted to refuse, but when he met Yaojia's expectant eyes, he swallowed the words back.

Let her pull me out of the bamboo forest.

The foot of the mountain was just as Mingjue had described, very lively, with streamers hanging everywhere on the street and various stalls on both sides.

Yao Jia walked in front with great interest, communicating with the stall owners from time to time, picking out the gadgets she liked. Ming Jue and Lang Yue followed behind her, one on her left and one on her right.

Lang Yue held the thing that Yao Jia had casually handed to him. Although he was watching Yao Jia's brisk steps, he was still worried that her ankle could not bear it, so he kept paying attention to her steps.

After walking and stopping along the way, it was almost evening, and Mingjue suggested going to a restaurant for dinner.

Yao Jia's eyes lit up after hearing this. This was the first time she had eaten out since coming to Mingyang City.

The food in the Shadow Guard Camp was crudely made. Although they could have something good to eat when they returned to the bamboo house in the evening, Langyue and Mingjue’s cooking skills were limited, and no matter how good the ingredients were, they couldn’t make the food taste like that in Kyoto.

Langyue remembered that he had made some summer clothes for Yaojia at a clothing shop when he went down the mountain last time, so he asked the two of them to go first.

So the three of them split up into two groups, Yaojia and Mingjue went to "Babaolou", and Langyue went to the clothing store to get clothes.

As soon as she entered Babaolou, Yao Jia was attracted by the decoration of the restaurant. Looking up, she saw exquisite colorful silks hanging from the carved beams, landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and a hollow screen separating the lobby.

Yao Jia didn't expect that the restaurant decoration in this small place was not inferior to that in Kyoto. She was dazzled by the sight and stumbled, almost tripping.

Mingjue quickly grabbed Yaojia's arm, but he was still a step too late.

Yaojia lost her balance and fell into Mingjue's arms.

Mingjue only felt the faint fragrance of a young girl filling his nose, and the girl's soft chest was pressing against his already thin clothes. His heart shuddered and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

He held Yaojia's arms with both hands, tilted his head slightly, and touched his lips with the tip of Yaojia's nose.

He could clearly hear his own heartbeat, steady and powerful, his ears were tinged with pink, and he lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at Yao Jia.

"Miss Yao... Miss Yao, are you okay?"

Yao Jia hugged Ming Jue's waist with both hands, buried her face in Ming Jue's chest, and spoke with some difficulty, "Tell me to relax for a while..."

Damn it! I didn't walk steadily just now and hit the wound. My face was burning from the pain. Now I really can't stand the slightest pain.

Mingjue blinked. The two of them hugging each other like this in public was really a bit...

When he wanted to remind Yao Jia, his arms suddenly felt empty and Yao Jia had already taken two steps back.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and forced a smile towards Mingjue, "Let's go! Find a place to sit and wait for Langyue."

Mingjue then noticed her slightly red face, "Why is your face so red?"

He raised his hand to touch Yaojia's forehead, but Yaojia dodged it.

Yao Jia didn't want him to notice that his ankle hurt, otherwise he would not be able to play anymore.

"It's okay, maybe it was exposed to the sun just now."

Mingjue looked at Yaojia's rosy cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth. Her cheeks were flushed at the moment, making her look even more charming and lovely.

For some reason, my heart suddenly shrank and I hurriedly withdrew my hand. "Okay, how about a window seat?"

As soon as the two of them sat down at the window seat, the waiter came over and greeted them enthusiastically.

Yaojia handed the menu to Mingjue and asked him to look at it. "Mingjue, this is your territory. You must know what tastes good better than me."

Ming Jue was a bit troubled. Although he grew up in Mingyang Mountain, he had gone down the mountain very few times, let alone having meals in a restaurant. It would be much better if Junior Brother Huai was here, as he knew more than he did.

Mingjue handed the menu back to Yaojia, "I don't quite understand, Miss Yao, just pick what you like."

Yaojia looked down at a few dishes and wanted to ask Mingjue's opinion, but she felt it was inconvenient to pass the menu back and forth, so she simply stood up and sat next to Mingjue.

"Mingjue, what do you think of these? They look good."

Mingjue was looking at the scenery outside the window when Yaojia suddenly called him and he immediately turned around.

The pretty face of a woman suddenly appeared before his eyes. Under the strong light, her skin was as pink and tender as peach blossoms, delicate and beautiful. As her lips opened and closed, she brought out the unique fragrance of a young girl.

My heart couldn't help but skip a beat and I was stunned.

"Mingjue, Mingjue, what do you think?"

Yao Jia's gentle call woke him up, and Ming Jue became at a loss. He hurriedly lowered his head, picked up the water in front of him, and drank it all.

"Everything is fine..."

Yao Jia suddenly felt that her ordering skills were extraordinary, and asked the waiter to recommend a few more dishes.

Return to your position and wait for the bright moon.
