Hu Luanfei almost caused a huge disaster. She was inexplicably driven to go and see if Jiang Shi had become a eunuch.

After noon the next day, Hu Luanfei was wringing her hands and thinking about something. Although Jiang Shi didn't mind her recklessness, they were in the same village and saw each other every day. It was only a matter of a moment, and this matter had already become a stain on her.

She had to avoid seeing Jiang Shi these days to avoid embarrassment.

Calculating the time, Qi Siriao probably got home around dusk. I finally got to see him again. I wonder if he is doing okay?

Qi Si Liao's return was certainly a cause for celebration, but Hu Luanfei also had many concerns in her heart. The first and most disturbing thing was his attitude towards the child in her belly. She remembered that he seemed to have said before that the child would become a weak point, and he did not have a good tone when he mentioned it.

The second thing that made him uneasy was the dispute over the farmland that Aunt Wang was clamoring for. Given Qi Siriao's temperament, he would either generously give the farmland away, or stubbornly fight to keep it even at the cost of his reputation.

If he was generous, how would I have the nerve to argue with Aunt Wang? I couldn't just say to her: Hey, I won't give you that piece of land, please give it back to me!

Hu Luanfei was worried and was distracted when doing things. She was chopping a pheasant she brought back from hunting yesterday, thinking of putting it in the pot to make soup, but she was distracted and cut her thumb with the knife. She felt a sharp pain and blood started to flow.

Hu Luanfei quickly wiped the gushing blood with a handkerchief, but was shocked when he took a closer look. There was a big cut on his thumb, which was still bleeding. It was really scary.

In the past, Hu Luanfei would have taken a stick and quickly searched the beams for some spider webs to cover the wound with. However, since Jiang Shi came back yesterday, he had carefully cleaned the house inside and out, so where were the spider webs?

She was in a hurry when Jiang Shi walked in from outside. He was surprised to see her hands covered in blood and she was standing there stupidly. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her wrist and asked, "What happened?"

Hu Luanfei only felt that his wrist was tightly grasped by Jiang Shi's powerful big hand. The grip was tight, painful and heavy. The pain even covered up the pain of the wound on his thumb.

She frowned and whispered back, "I chopped it off when I was chopping a chicken."

After saying this, she suddenly felt so stupid.

Jiang Shi looked at the wound and ordered her not to move. He quickly rushed out and picked a handful of green leaves. He wanted to chop them up on the chopping board, but the board was occupied by pheasants. He had to tear the leaves into pieces quickly, mash them until they melted, and then put them on Hu Luanfei's wound.

When the green leaf juice came into contact with the wound, it felt numb and spicy at first. But after a while, when I looked again, I saw that the melted green leaf fragments mixed with blood had already coagulated there, and the pain was much relieved.

Jiang Shi tore off another piece of rag and carefully wrapped her thumb. Hu Luanfei didn't pay attention to other things because her hand was too painful, but now that the pain in her hand was gradually subsiding, she couldn't ignore the big boy who was half-squatting and bandaging her.

The atmosphere was so quiet that even the air was silent.

Jiang Shi held Hu Luanfei's small hand tightly with one of his big hands, and with the other hand he carefully tied her thumb with a white cloth.

He lowered his head, and Hu Luanfei could only see his furrowed brows, high nose bridge, and pursed lips.

"Just let me do the rough work, you just stay over there and relax."

After the bandaging was completed, Jiang Shi pulled out a stool from under the table and motioned for Hu Luanfei to sit down.

"Clang-"

A loud noise shattered the silence in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound, the two looked out the window and saw a bloated figure trotting away with her skirt lifted.

"Who is that person?" Jiang Shi asked with a frown.

Hu Luanfei didn't need to look closely to tell who the person was from the running back.

"Aunt Wang who lives at the head of the village has been restless recently. She coveted the field you helped to reclaim last year. And the reason for Wen Ruoxue's premature birth was that Aunt Wang went to ask for money several times. I think this time, she also wanted to find out whether the prince has returned so that she can make another move."

"I know this person. She was watching me when I was cultivating that piece of land last year." Jiang Shi couldn't help thinking, "No wonder she was so enthusiastic in serving me tea and water. It turns out that she had her eyes on that piece of land."

Hu Luanfei poked Jiang Shi's forehead lightly and said angrily, "You guys, just let down your guard when someone gives you a little benefit."

Jiang Shi: ...

Aunt Wang had no idea what Hu Luanfei and the other man were thinking. After carefully checking that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief, slumped to the ground, and fanned herself with a handkerchief.

A fat aunt who was passing by in the village was walking out with a hoe on her shoulder, twisting her waist like a bucket. She happened to pass by the big tree where Aunt Wang was resting. When the two met, they were like sisters meeting each other and were extremely happy.

Aunt Wang exaggerated what she saw and heard.

Auntie Fatty uttered "Ah?" and hit the ground with her hoe. "Isn't the Qi family's wife a fickle person?"

"Shhhhh, there's no evidence yet. I just saw her holding hands with that kid Jiang Shi in the kitchen."

"This lonely man and unattached woman..." Auntie Pang had a wild imagination, "Could the child in the Qi family's wife's belly be Jiang Shi's?"

Aunt Wang asked secretly: "You think so too."

Auntie Pang analyzed: "Mrs. Qi has been married for one or two years, but she has not been pregnant. Jiang Shi moved to Taohua Village last year, and Mrs. Qi got pregnant not long after. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Aunt Wang thought for a moment, "Besides, Mr. Qi was not at home very often last year, and the one who spent the longest time with Mrs. Qi was Jiang Shi. I often saw them going out together."

Aunt Wang's statement coincided with Aunt Pang's idea. They continued to murmur under the big locust tree, and gradually, without knowing what was going on, the rumor about Hu Luanfei cheating on men spread throughout the village.

The two parties were in an awkward situation and were not at all aware of the rumors circulating in the village.

At dusk, Jiang Shi changed Hu Luanfei's bandage and tied a neat knot. Then he looked up and said, "Don't touch the water. If there is anything you need to do, just call me."

When he raised his eyes, he saw Hu Luanfei staring at him blankly. He thought Hu Luanfei was in pain and stood there, so he asked quickly: "Why, is it tied too tight?"

Hu Luanfei hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I'm much better, but I just feel a little uneasy."

As she spoke, she pulled her hand back from his, but when she did, she seemed to feel several fanatical eyes staring at her.

At this moment, my heart was in suspense and beating violently, as if something big was going to happen in the next moment.

When Jiang Shi heard this, he looked at Hu Luanfei very seriously and said, "Don't be absent-minded when working in the future. Today I only made a small cut. If you don't pay attention in the future, your whole hand may be chopped off."
