The Psychic Girl

It’s not because of those terrible rumors, she never believes in rumors.

Even though the reason was to get a medicinal herb that could cure illnesses and save lives, it still did not change the fact that this behavior was actually stealing. It was just the reason for the theft that made her feel that this behavior was worthwhile.

Rumor has it that Yanjiabao is heavily guarded and as unpredictable as a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. However, looking at the not-so-high outer wall of the medicine garden, Xia Xi shook his head and decisively climbed in.

It was a pitch-black night, with only the faint starlight and even the moonlight was blocked by clouds.

When I jumped into the inner courtyard, I realized that the weeds here were very thick. Was it because the courtyard was abandoned and no one took care of it?

Xia Xi could feel that with every movement, they touched the height of her knees.

Blinded by the darkness, she could not tell the direction. After looking around for a while, she took out the firefly incense she had prepared from her arms.

Perhaps she was a little nervous, she felt that the dense grass seemed to hide countless pairs of dark eyes. After trying to walk forward a few steps, she found a paved gravel road buried under the grass.

At this moment, when the fire reached, there was a sound of soil and something rubbing against each other all around, and the wild grass undulated like waves, as if something was crawling across the grass.

The sound made Xia Xi feel a little uneasy. She slowly lowered the firefly incense in her hand until she could gradually see the thing clearly.

Surprise!

At first glance, you can tell that poisonous snakes are pouring out in groups from the center of the densest grass, making a series of rustling sounds like the wind blowing through the grass.

Along with the red miasma spreading from the grass, a group of snakes crawled out like a slide, following Xia Xi's fire, getting closer and closer.

I don't know if it was because my legs went limp due to fear or because the miasma was poisonous, but Xia Xi's legs and feet went numb for a while and I couldn't control my body well.

She immediately held her breath and took a few steps back until she was against the wall with no way to retreat.

She had never seen such a scene before. If it weren't for this, she would not have realized that the strange world she was in was not a peaceful and prosperous one.

Finally, she stumbled and fell to the ground. She suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this place was unguarded. The traps and mechanisms here were probably inevitable.

She, a person without even a spiritual bone, actually dreamed of breaking in here. She was so naive.

The title of the No. 1 Medicine Valley is definitely not something that can be easily obtained.

The medicine garden in Yanjiabao is a dangerous place in itself.

Seeing the snakes approaching, Xia Xi, who wanted to climb over the wall and leave at that time, felt exhausted all over and could only wave the fire in his hand in the hope of stopping the snakes from advancing.

Xia Xi didn't know that many of the traps here had been removed due to the relocation, but the red-striped snake was a poisonous insect that was kept in every medicine garden in Yanjiabao. They would not disappear just because the garden was abandoned. They would remain at the original location until the land here could no longer grow plants and no grass would grow.

This is Yanjiabao. You can't get anything you want from them unless they are willing.

"Hiss..." The red snake spit out its scarlet tongue, as if it was making a bloodthirsty hiss.

Facing the firelight, the red-striped snakes arched their bodies and made gestures to pounce on Xia Xi.

Xia Xi suddenly remembered the unwillingness she felt when she died in her previous life, and felt sad.

Am I going to die again? The chance to live again that I finally got by luck is gone just like that?

She thought of the unfaithful man from her previous life, and the words she was unable to say to him before she died. It was neither "I hate you" nor "I love you". What she wanted to say most were just two words.

"help me!"

Be it love or hate, please let me feel the end of life and leave without any regrets.

The words came out of Xia Xi's mouth before she could react.

A graceful flute sound suddenly rang out, the melody soft and moving.

The snakes immediately stopped attacking, lowered their bodies, and crawled toward the center of the yard, disappearing into the lush grass.

The fire in Xia Xi's hand gradually went out.

She subconsciously looked in the direction where the flute sound came from.

The clouds that obscured the moonlight had gradually dissipated, and the bright moonlight shone on a narrow walkway on the left side of the courtyard. A thin man was sitting in a mahogany wheelchair, holding a piccolo in his hand.

Under the elegant moon and stars, his extremely pale skin exudes a morbid beauty.

She was wearing a light green silk dress and her hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin.

The sky gradually recedes, and the man's face is as rosy as peaches and apricots, gentle as water, and fascinating...

"You don't look like a bad person, why did you break into the medicine garden at night?"

Before Xia Xi came to her senses, the man was already in front of her. He took out a white medicine bottle from his sleeve and placed it under her nose. Xia Xi immediately regained consciousness.

"You'd better leave quickly before the two guards arrive."

"Go, all the snakes are gone?"

Xia Xi woke up as if from a dream, her voice became hoarse due to fright. The distance between them allowed her to clearly smell the elegant herbal fragrance on his body.

"Can you still stand up?" The man stretched out his left hand to her.

Xia Xi suddenly raised her head and looked at the man.

He has a pair of dark and deep eyes, and his tall figure looks a little thin in the wooden chair.

"I... I'm fine, thank you, thank you... I almost died again!" She murmured to herself and took his outstretched hand and tried to stand up.

Suddenly, the hand that had originally pulled her up pulled her back into his arms, leaving Xia Xi stunned.

The next second, there was the sound of someone running into the yard.

It turned out that he was aware of the presence of the guards.

For fear of being discovered by the guards, Xia Xi simply lay obediently in his arms and dared not move. However, she could clearly feel that he suddenly trembled when the two soft parts of her chest sank into his arms.

Could it be that... this person doesn't know that she is a girl?

Her mind raced, and when she thought about it carefully, her vision was affected at night, and she was dressed in men's clothing, so it was indeed difficult for her to be noticed.

Otherwise, that person wouldn't have held me in his arms without hesitation.

After all, the gender differences in this strange world are much stricter than the world she lived in before.

"Pharmacist Yan, so you are here. It seems like someone broke in just now. We went to Zhenyuan first to make sure everything was fine before rushing here. Please forgive us. Pharmacist, is there anything unusual in this garden?" The two guards hurriedly asked with their heads down respectfully.

It turns out that he is the pharmacist here.

Hearing the guard's voice, Xia Xi's heart suddenly rose to her throat. Her right hand tightly grasped the collar of Yan Zini's chest, and her breathing became more rapid.

She raised her head slightly, but could only see his thin chin and slightly trembling Adam's apple.

Yan Zini's body had become a little stiff, but he was pretending to be calm.

He subconsciously used his body to protect Xia Xi, and spread out his wide sleeves to block the guard's suspicious gaze towards his arms. Xia Xi curled up even more in his arms and dared not move.
