Chapter 22 The Herbalist is Charming (19)

The rain had been falling all night and finally stopped in the morning. The sound of birdsong could be heard from the valley.

Qingli: "Ugh...hiss...my waist...hurts so much"

She was awakened by the pain in her waist and opened her eyes hazily.

Qingli: "Have I arrived in the underworld? I feel dizzy, and my lower back... can I still feel pain in the underworld?"

Her blurry eyes gradually became clear.

Qingli: "This...this is Brother Meng! Why did Brother Meng come to the underworld?"

Qingli: "Could it be? Could it be that he is the same as me? Yes, if you fall off a cliff, no one can survive."

Li Li wanted to get up and see what the underworld looked like, but when she moved, she found that she was being held!

Qingli: "Hey, why is Brother Meng still holding me? Didn't I let him go and died alone? Do I have bad intentions towards him? You still want to stay with him even though we're in the underworld?"

Li Li tried to move, but was still tightly held in the man's arms.

Qingli: "Here? Aren't there officials in the underworld? Why is there no one here? Hey, this seems to be a cave? There is a burnt fire next to it. I... am I wearing Brother Meng's clothes? I feel dizzy and painful, Brother Meng is beside me, everything here..."

Qingli: "Could it be? I'm not dead? Brother Meng saved me?"

Qingli: "Isn't this kind of thing something that only happens in storybooks? I fell off such a high cliff, how could I survive?"

Li Li finally reacted. She looked at Meng Yi, who was holding her. The man's breath surrounded her tightly. Her pale face quickly turned red.

Qingli: "Then my arrow wound was treated by Brother Meng? Doesn't that mean he looked at my... body? My mouth is bitter. Did he feed me medicine? This place is so simple and I have no recollection of taking medicine. How did he... how did he feed me?"

Li Li looked at Meng Yi who was hugging her tightly, and even her neck turned red.

Qingli: "Should I wake up Brother Meng? Then...if he wakes up, what should I do?"

Li Li was in a dilemma. She thought for a while, then she felt the breathing of the people around her change, and quickly closed her eyes.

When Meng Yi woke up, he realized he had held the girl in his arms all night. Now, after a rest, he felt quite energetic. He silently stroked her forehead. The fever had subsided, and he estimated that she would wake up soon. He should go prepare food.

Meng Yi avoided Qingli's wound and gently leaned her against the stone. He picked up his sword and left the cave.

After making sure that everyone had left, Qingli opened her eyes and looked around the cave.

Qingli: "Huh...is this the bottom of the cliff?"

Qingli: "It seems that this place was once the den of a wild beast, but it seems to have been empty for a long time. There are two large rocks half a person's height here. One blocks half of the cave entrance, and the other is what I just leaned against. It must have been moved here by Brother Meng."

Qingli: "Hey, these medicines! These medicines are all good medicines! Some of them I have only seen in ancient books. Hey... this herb can cure all kinds of poisons, no wonder I can survive even after being poisoned!"

She was very excited. She had never thought there were so many wonderful herbs here. If it weren't for the pain in her wound, she would have gone out to collect herbs right away! She could make many more wonderful medicines!

Meng Yi: "Li Li, you're awake!"

Li Li turned around and saw Meng Yi standing at the entrance of the cave, facing the backlight. She couldn't see his face clearly, only his broad smile, but her heart suddenly moved, and the door of her heart seemed to quietly open.

Qingli: "Meng...Brother Meng, you're back."

Meng Yi: "Well, I'm back. How are you feeling?"

Qingli: "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy and the wound hurts a little."

Meng Yi: "Oh...that's good."

Meng Yi: "You must be thirsty. I've brought some clean water from a large leaf. Please have some."

Qingli: "Thank you, Brother Meng."

Meng Yi: "Want to drink more? If it's not enough, I'll fill it up again."

Qingli: "That's enough. I'm thirsty now. Thank you for troubling me, Brother Meng."

Meng Yi: "You haven't eaten all day, you must be hungry. Eat some of these fruits first, they are quite sweet. I will catch two more fish later."

Qingli: "Thank you, Brother Meng!"

Li Li took two fruits and ate them in small bites.

Meng Yi: "That..."

Meng Yi was hesitant to speak, and the atmosphere between them was a bit strange...
