Chapter 27 The Herbalist is Charming (Twenty-Four)

Qingli: "Brother Meng, let me change the medicine for you."

Meng Yi: "Thank you, Li'er."

Meng Yi took off his shirt.

Li Li didn't know what was going on. She didn't blush when she changed Meng Yi's dressing before, but now she felt her face getting hot when she looked at the man's body.

Li Li was applying medicine to Meng Yi's chest, and his breath hit her face.

Li Li's fingertips trembled and she didn't dare to continue.

Meng Yi: "Why didn't Li'er continue changing the dressing?"

Qingli: "It's okay, I'll be fine soon."

She came back to her senses and forced herself not to pay attention to the man's strong body and hot breath.

Qingli: "Okay, okay."

Meng Yi: "Li'er forgot, I still have a shoulder injury."

Qingli: "Oh, okay, I'll change right away."

She was changing the medicine on the back of her shoulder, unaware that Meng Yi's face was filled with a gentle smile.

Meng Yi: "Is Li'er ready?"

Qingli: "Okay, okay."

Meng Yi put on his shirt.

Meng Yi: "Thank you, Li'er. It's time to heal your wound. Let me help you!"

She was horrified and quickly refused.

Meng Yi: "Li'er's wound is on her lower back, and it's hard to change the dressing. You helped me change it, so if I don't help Li'er, wouldn't that be bad?"

Qingli: "Oh, it's nothing bad. You go out first, I'll change the medicine."

Meng Yi shook his head and went to guard outside the cave.

Qingli glanced outside the cave, seeing no one. She took a deep breath and brought the medicine. She tilted her head, gazing sideways at her lower back as she painstakingly changed the dressing. She removed the blood-stained herbs from the wound and replaced them with fresh ones.

After she changed the medicine, an idea popped into her mind that it was not very convenient to change the medicine by herself. Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head to dispel the idea.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed. She tidied her clothes, cleaned up the dirt, and told Meng Yi that he could come in.

Meng Yi stayed outside for a while, and only came into the cave after confirming that Qingli had been properly handled.

Lying on thick beds made of straw, leaves and fur, they were still thinking about what to do tomorrow.

They didn't know how long they would have to live down there, so if it was long, they'd need to prepare more things. If they were to spend the winter under the cliff, they'd need to prepare even more. First, they'd need to hunt, making clothing from soft animal skins and furs to keep warm. They could also air-dry meat to make bacon. Li Li also planned to find hemp and try weaving, and he'd also need to fire up a kiln and make a batch of pots and bowls...

Meng Yi was still considering whether to build a house, plant some flowers and herbs around it, and whether there was any food to sow nearby...

It was freezing cold in the middle of the night and she woke up, only to find that the fire had gone out. Meng Yi was always a light sleeper, so he got up and added new firewood and reignited the fire.

Meng Yi: "Is it cold?"

Qingli: "The fire is out. It's a little cold, but it will be fine in a while."

She whispered to Meng Yi not to worry about her and that she would fall asleep soon. Meng Yi responded and the cave became quiet again.

He thought, his embrace is very warm, but Li'er must be embarrassed to fall asleep in his arms, so what should he do? If she becomes his wife, does that give him the right to hold her in his arms?

It was not until dawn that Li Li realized that she had two more pieces of clothing on. No wonder she felt so warm in the second half of the night. She touched the clothes and felt a little touched.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Qingli and Meng Yi have been living under the cliff for a month.

The relationship between the two was also progressing by leaps and bounds. Meng Yi had proposed to Li Li several times. Although she had not agreed yet, the two were getting more and more comfortable with each other, and Li Li did not resist his closeness.

Meng Yi built a small house next to the cave as their wedding room. Of course, Li Li didn't know what he was planning.

It was already late autumn, and he had hunted a lot recently, including pheasants, hares, and wild boars... He ate some of them and asked Li Li to pickle most of them.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Li Li stepped up her efforts in making clothes and medicine. Occasionally, when she was tired and got up to rest, she would see a man practicing sword under the waterfall. He stood in the open space under the waterfall, waving his sword. A flash of sword light passed by, and the water of the waterfall splashed everywhere.

As she admired the man's majesty, she thought, "I'm going to eat fish again today..."
