Chapter 13: The Herbalist is Charming (10)

On a hillside, a woman was picking wild vegetables and some herbs. There was a small bamboo basket next to her. The woman squatted on the ground, searching carefully with a sickle.

In the bamboo forest not far away, the west wind was rustling, the forest was rustling, and the bamboo leaves were fluttering. It turned out that there was a handsome young man practicing sword. One sword, one person, one world.

The woman would occasionally glance at the man. Perhaps it was the first time she saw someone practicing martial arts. The sharp sword chopped forward along with the man's strength, and more than a dozen bamboos fell down. The woman stopped what she was doing in surprise, and found that he was so powerful. Is this martial arts?

After looking for a while, the woman came to her senses and continued picking wild vegetables. Seeing that she had picked almost all, she picked up the bamboo basket and walked back.

After they had lunch, Li Li continued to process her herbs as usual, while Meng Yi chopped wood with an axe.

Qingli: "Brother Meng, it's almost done. You've already chopped a lot of firewood these days. This firewood will last for several months."

Meng Yi: "That's fine. I'll give you a little more so you don't have to do any more physical work."

Meng Yi had repaired the bamboo hut. On the day Li Li went to town, he had some free time, so he climbed up the eaves and patched up any leaks. He had also repaired the doors and windows over the past few days, and reinstalled the mechanisms around Li Li's hut to prevent wild animals from entering. The hut had a well, and a water diversion mechanism left by Senior Ji that could bring water from the mountain stream to the hut's water tank, so Meng Yi didn't need to carry water to fill it.

Qingli: "Well, thank you, Brother Meng."

Her smile faded a little. Brother Meng's injury was almost healed now. He also went to the town to inquire about the situation. Maybe this place was too remote and there was not much news about the martial arts world. If he wanted to know some things, he needed to leave here.

Meng Yi: "I...I'm leaving in a few days."

Qingli: "Yeah, Brother Meng's injury is almost healed. It's good for you to go back early. I think your uncle and aunt are also thinking about you."

Meng Yi: "Thank you for your care these days. After I go back and take care of things, I want to send someone to pick you up and move you to another place."

Qingli: "Hmm?"

Meng Yi: "This place is too remote. It's not safe for a weak woman like you to live here. There are some wild animals in the mountains. If they break into the bamboo house, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Qingli: "It's okay, I'm used to being here alone. Besides, I have my master here with me, he will protect me."

Meng Yi: "Living alone is bound to be a little inconvenient for you. You are a good girl and my savior. My family has a little property, so it is no problem for me to take care of you. When the time comes, you can live wherever you like, whether it is Jiangnan or Saibei, I will protect you well."

Qingli: "This..."

Qingli: "Brother Meng, I'm very satisfied that you have this intention. But I'd better stay here. I have lived here since I was a child. I have no relatives in this world, so why should I move to a new place? Besides, if I leave here, I'm afraid I will have to trouble you with everything, and I will become a burden to you. And I don't need you to repay me for saving my life. As long as you are safe, that's enough."

She smiled sincerely. She had been in this place for more than ten years and had long been accustomed to this kind of life. Although it was a bit poor, she felt very safe.

Meng Yi: "Don't worry, I will arrange everything. If you get bored, I can help you open a clinic. It would be a shame if you have such good medical skills but nowhere to use them."

Qingli: "This..."

She thought that her medical skills, which could cure diseases and save lives, seemed pretty good.

Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Meng Yi asked her to think about it more and not to be anxious.

Meng Yi: "Don't worry, I will respect your choice. I will come to pick you up when I have finished my work. You can tell me the answer then."

Qingli: "Yeah, thank you, Brother Meng!"

A few days later, Li Li sat on a rock and looked into the distance. Today was the day Meng Yi was leaving, and she didn't want to experience separation for the time being. After he left, she was alone in the bamboo house again.

She knew that separation would always come, but she didn't want to watch him go in person.

She sat on a big rock in a daze for two hours, then suddenly stood up and ran back. Meng Yi was leaving in the afternoon, and she wanted him to eat and drink enough before leaving. She wanted to say goodbye to him with a smile!

Meng Yi stood in the bamboo house, thinking carefully about every little thing that had happened in the past month, and a feeling of reluctance lingered in his heart.

He knew she was reluctant to let him go, but he had to go.

He packed his bags and sat quietly in the hall, waiting for her to come back. She should come back, right?

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the mountains. He hung the bag on his body, held the sword in his hand, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he quickly left the bamboo house and headed straight for the back mountain to look for Li Li.
