The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Chapter 19: Scheming Ji Yinghuai, drawing hatred again

It was just past noon and many families had just finished their meals and were packing up to get ready to go back to work in the fields.

Except for their house, most of the villagers' houses are made of earth or tiles. There are no walls around them. Many houses are surrounded by a row of fences and barely have a wooden door to form a yard.

The two men's figures and appearances were very conspicuous, and many people took one look and stood up curiously, walked to the door and stretched their necks to look.

Watching the two of them passing by the door, many people had the same thought in their minds: they are indeed a family, each of them has their own best looks.

The man was as tall as other men in the village, and his appearance was much better than other men in the village. If he planned to live in their village permanently, he would be a good husband. With such a big house and hands and feet, he would have no worries about not being able to make money.

At once, many people's minds became active. A few aunties who were enjoying the cool breeze on the roadside walked towards the two people, intending to test their opinions first.

But before they could get closer, the "good husband" they were talking about suddenly bent over and started coughing.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Ji Yinghuai bent down, covered his lips with one hand and started coughing. His face, which had been rosy just now, turned pale in an instant, and he looked weak all over.

Jiang Shian turned around, looked at him and asked hurriedly, "Are you okay? I told you not to go out until you are fully recovered. Why don't you go back and rest? I can go up the mountain by myself."

Ji Yinghuai waved his hands and slowly stood up. His pale and weak face was clearly visible to everyone around him.

"It's okay, it's an old problem, just take some medicine."

Jiang Shian: “……???”

Jiang Shian's face was full of questions. What old problem? How come he didn't know about it?

Several aunts around who wanted to step forward paused.

Ji Yinghuai's voice was clear and they heard what he said clearly.

You have old diseases at such a young age? You still need to take medicine? You look like a medicine bottle. It's not good if it looks good but is useless. My daughter, if you marry him, you will definitely suffer with him, not to mention the money for medicine.

Several aunts shook their heads and looked at Ji Yinghuai with a look of pity on their faces. Good looks cannot be used to make a living.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Ji Yinghuai's lips curled slightly.

It is not known how long he will live here. It would be a good idea to solve some unnecessary troubles before his body fully recovers. Besides, he does not like these things.

The crowd came forward and smiled awkwardly at the two of them, then dispersed.

"Just tell me, what's the use of being handsome? I don't know how much money this sick boy will lose. I have raised my daughter carefully since she was a child, but I can't bear to let her marry him."

"Bah, just now you acted like you were in a hurry and afraid of missing out, but now you feel sorry for the girl at home."

"You old woman are still talking about me, aren't you the same?"

……

Jiang Shian looked suspiciously at the man in front of him whose face had regained its rosy complexion, and narrowed his eyes. It seemed that this was what he was planning.

This person's observation ability is extremely sharp and his reaction is very fast.

The two continued to walk towards the foot of the mountain. Jiang Shian joked, "Ji Er, you're quite quick to react, but isn't it normal for you to get married and have children at your age? You said that you happened to end up in our village, it's fate, why don't you settle down earlier."

He just made up something to say. Although Ji Yinghuai had already told him his name, he still preferred the name Ji Er because it was simple and easy to remember.

Ji Yinghuai twitched his lips, and these words echoed in his mind: You are at this age, these words.

At most he is only twenty-one, so there is no need for him to use these words.

Looking at the smiling face of the young man beside him, he couldn't get angry anymore, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not impossible, but now I live in your house. If I really want to marry a wife, I still have to rely on you for food and shelter. Our house has two rooms, a kitchen, and a woodshed. After all, I have nothing, so you can give me half."

Jiang Shian thought of that scene and immediately shook his head, changing the subject: "Your memory has been mostly restored, so do you know any herbs?"

Ji Yinghuai raised his eyebrows slightly, followed his lead to change the subject, and nodded, "I only know some that can stop bleeding and dissolve blood stasis."

He followed his father to the battlefield when he was fifteen years old. The conditions on the battlefield were no better than those in Beijing. In addition to food, medicinal herbs were the most scarce. The military doctors would go up the mountain to look for herbs from time to time. When they were not fighting, they would also go with him. Finding more herbs and keeping them in stock could save more lives during the war.

"That's good. Fugui told me last time that Doctor Wang's home is at the foot of the mountain. I was planning to go to him to get some herbal patterns. Now that you know me, you don't have to ask for the patterns. Next time you go to town, buy two simple herbal books and take a look." Jiang Shian said with a smile.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain where Huang Fugui pointed out to him last time and said there were many medicinal herbs.

At the foot of the mountain, there were a few people who were also carrying backpacks and hoes.

Jiang Shian took a quick look and, by chance, he knew all three of them. They were the three guys he met by the river last time.

The outgoing Li Huan was the first to raise his hand and greet them, "Shi An! Are you guys going up the mountain to dig herbs as well?"

Jiang Shian walked over to the group and said, "Well, let's see if we can dig some and sell them for a few copper coins in town."

Considering that Ji Yinghuai was injured, he carried the backpack and hoe. The man beside him seemed to be on a tour, strolling leisurely.

Seeing the three people staring at the man behind him in a daze, Jiang Shian curled his lips. If he was not a boy, he would be a man and would definitely attract the attention of such a group of boys.

Ji Yinghuai seemed to be unaware of anything. His eyes were fixed on the mountain in front of him, and his peripheral vision did not even glance at the three people opposite him.

Li Huan's cheeks turned slightly red, and he coughed to remind the two people beside him that the other party was a man, and if they continued to stare at him and were seen by the villagers, they would be accused of not knowing the seriousness of the situation.

"Shi'an, who is the person next to you?" Li Huan looked at Ji Yinghuai and asked.

"Oh, my cousin, he came back with me." Jiang Shian introduced casually.

Huang Jusi was the calmest among the three. He glanced twice and then looked away, with no extra expression on his face.

As for Song Shu, who spoke harshly, he was still staring at Ji Yinghuai blankly. Even though he was reminded by the people next to him, he blushed but still kept stealing glances at Ji Yinghuai.

"Well, since we've met, why don't you come with us, Shi An? This should be your first time up the mountain. We are quite familiar with this place and we won't get lost if we go together." Li Huan said.

Jiang Shian shook his head and refused. "No, if we go together, we will have to share the herbs with you. We are just here to explore the way and look around. We don't want to delay you."

The rich kid said that day that this mountain is not very big, as long as you don't go deep into it, you can walk out by following the direction of the sun. Besides, they are not very familiar with this place, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to separate.

The man glanced at Ji Yinghuai out of the corner of his eye and nodded to him.

"There's no need to delay. We are all from the same village. It's only natural for us to help each other. Just come with us!" The person who spoke this time was not Li Huan, but Song Shu, who had confronted him last time.

Jiang Shian was a little surprised that these words were spoken by the person with the harsh tone last time, but he understood as soon as he saw the other person's gaze.

Oh, I came here for Ji Yinghuai.

I wonder why there is such a big change, the tone has become inexplicably softer.

Jiang Shian still remembered the insults he received last time. He didn't intend to pay any attention to him. He waved his hand at Li Huan and the others and said, "Then we'll go in first."

"Okay, Shi An, if you encounter any problems, just shout." Li Huan also waved at him. He felt a little disappointed when he saw that the man opposite him didn't pay attention to them.

These two people don't look like ordinary people, so they are worth making friends with.

Being ignored again, Song Shu's face turned red this time purely because of anger. If he hadn't been concerned about the cold face of the man behind Jiang Shian, he would have just started cursing like he did last time.

The two of them quickened their pace and walked up the mountain in tacit understanding, and only slowed down when they could no longer see the three people behind them.

Ji Yinghuai suddenly asked him, "How come that boy with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes has ever offended you?"

Crooked mouth and slanted eyes?

Jiang Shian stopped and turned his head to look at Ji Yinghuai. It took him a moment to realize that the other party was talking about Song Shu.

He just ignored the other person while talking. Song Shu must have been so angry that his teeth were itching and he was grinning, but after the man said that, his mouth became crooked and his eyes were squinting.

Not to mention it's quite funny.

He curled up the corners of his lips and laughed, then told him what happened last time.

The more Ji Yinghuai listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. The Jiang family's house was not small, but Jiang Shian had always been the only one living there. He had a rough guess in his mind, probably that his parents had passed away, but he didn't expect this to be the case.
