Chapter 10: The Herbalist is Charming (Part 7)

Li Li widened her eyes and saw that she couldn't hide it from him, so she had to tell the truth.

Qingli: "I was slightly injured when I saved you. But my injuries are almost healed. It was just that I accidentally opened the wound on my right leg yesterday."

Meng Yi thought about how Li Li went out alone to collect herbs yesterday, and she probably got injured accidentally while collecting herbs.

Meng Yi: "How is the wound now?"

She was afraid that he would worry, so she quickly shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Qingli: "It's okay, the wound didn't split open. I was careful when I rolled down the hill."

Meng Yi: "You! I'll take you up first."

Meng Yi saw a scattered bundle nearby, packed it up and hung it in front of him.

Meng Yi hugged Li Li and brought her up with a few jumps.

She quickly left his arms and thanked him repeatedly.

He bent down and motioned Li Li to go up.

Qingli: "Ah? Brother Meng, why don't I go by myself? Your injury hasn't healed yet."

Meng Yi: "Come up quickly, it's almost dark, we need to go back early."

Qingli: "But..."

Her face turned red and she was too shy to go forward.

Seeing this, Meng Yi urged her to come up.

Meng Yi: "When you changed my dressing, didn't you say that doctors are equal in gender? The patient is the most important. Now that you are injured, it is natural for me to take care of you. Why are you so shy?"

Qingli: "This... is different... okay."

Seeing her tough attitude, she stepped forward and gently lay on Meng Yi's back.

Qingli: "Hiss——"

Meng Yi accidentally touched Li Li's injured right leg, moved away without leaving a trace, and walked forward quickly and steadily with her on his back.

He was angry, but too embarrassed to apologize to Li Li, so the words that came to his lips sounded unpleasant and stiff.

Meng Yi: "Your wound hurts, doesn't it? You're running around with this injury! If I knew you were injured, I wouldn't have let you go out today! If I hadn't come to find you, you would have had to spend the night in the wilderness!"

Li Li held a lantern in her right hand, with an aggrieved look on her face. Her voice sounded aggrieved, pitiful, and a little choked.

Qingli: "I don't want to get hurt either. Do I want to get hurt myself? Besides, there are a few herbs that are out of the bamboo house. I need to go to town to buy them. I want your injury to heal faster. There is one herb that the pharmacy hasn't got yet, so I waited a long time. When I came back, I was in a hurry and accidentally slipped."

Meng Yi was originally angry that she had made herself so embarrassed and concealed the fact that she was injured. She knew that her leg injury had not healed, but she did not inform him in advance and went to the town alone. If he had not been worried about her and came out to find her, who knows what would have happened. If she had encountered a wolf, she would probably be in great danger!

But Li Li went out to buy medicine for him, and his anger suddenly subsided. He felt that he could not blame her.

Qingli: "Don't be angry, I was wrong."

Meng Yi: "What did you do wrong?"

Qingli: "Uh..."

Qingli: "My mistake was not telling Brother Meng that I was injured. My mistake was not taking good care of myself."

Meng Yi: "I'm glad you know. You were originally weak, but you acted like a strong person and didn't know how to complain to others."

Meng Yi: "I'm a martial artist, and my body has a good ability to recover. My injury will be healed in half a month. You shouldn't hide the fact that you were injured."

Qingli: "I... I'm just used to bandaging my own wounds and don't want you to worry."

Li Li murmured.

Meng Yi was silent for a while. She had been alone for so many years and should have been accustomed to swallowing all the pain by herself. Wasn't he the same?

Meng Yi: "I don't blame you, actually. I'm sorry I came off a bit harsh."

Meng Yi: "Actually, it was my fault for not observing carefully enough that I didn't notice your right leg was injured."

Qingli: "It's okay, it's okay. I usually walk slowly and was careful not to let you notice."

Meng Yi did not answer, and only said a word when Li Li was drowsy.

Meng Yi: "I'm sorry. If anything happens in the future, don't handle it alone."

Qingli: "Hmm..."

Li Li responded vaguely.

Meng Yi felt the breath on his neck and felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't put her down. He took the lantern from Li Li's hand and held it himself.

At this time, they were passing by a river. The water was flowing slowly and steadily, and there was a sound of frogs. He crossed the river easily by stepping on the stones, but he remembered the heavy rain that night. How did Li Li cross the river at that time?

A wolf howl was heard in the distance. Meng Yi felt the person on his back trembling unconsciously, and the hand on his shoulder clutched his clothes tightly. He paused for a moment and quickened his pace in the light.

After climbing a small hill, you can see the bamboo house in the distance.

He put the lantern aside, lit a candle, and woke the sleeping girl.

Meng Yi: "Li Li, wake up."

Qingli: "Hmm...are we there yet?"

Li Li asked in a hoarse voice, and Meng Yi gently put her on the edge of the bed.
