Chapter 9: The Herb Picker is So Delicate (Part 6)

As the sun sets, Meng Yi sits in the courtyard, wiping his sword with a piece of cloth.

Although his hand was wiping the sword, his mind was not on the sword, and his eyes would look towards the door from time to time.

Meng Yi: "The sun is setting, why hasn't Li Li come back yet?"

Meng Yi was a little anxious, which made it impossible for him to calm down and do his own things.

Li Li prepared lunch this morning. He only needed to heat up the food at noon. Then he went to the backyard to get something and found something.

That morning, he stumbled upon a bloody cloth, unwashed, hanging next to the white cloth drying in the back room. He sniffed it and found a medicinal scent, likely medicine for injuries, similar to the medicine he used. Although the blood wasn't much, it wasn't his replacement. There were only two people here, so it was obvious that Li Li was injured. And why didn't she say anything about her injury? This suggests he was involved, perhaps because she didn't want him to feel guilty or worried.

This realization made him feel a little embarrassed, and he found that he seemed to have ignored Li Li's injury.

He remembered waking up and finding Li Li's hands covered in blood. Li Li said she had accidentally fallen, but he didn't think much of it. When he woke up, he was more concerned about his poison and whether the gang would come after him. He was also worried about the impact the group who wanted the secret manual would have on the martial arts world and their true identities.

He never thought that the injury on Li Li's hand was caused by himself!

He wanted to cover up all traces of his journey, but Li Li told him that the heavy rain had already covered up all traces.

Now that I think about it, how could he be so careless!

A weak woman, rescuing him from the foot of the mountain to the bamboo hut on the mountainside in the pouring rain, would surely have been exhausted. Furthermore, the mountain path was rugged and muddy, and she must have fallen countless times! I wonder how difficult it must have been! Li Li's hand must have been injured around that time, too! Judging from the cloth, he must have had other injuries on his body. Why was he so clueless?

Meng Yi put down his sword and looked out from the door of the bamboo house. There was no sign of the woman in the empty bamboo forest.

Seeing the sun setting, Meng Yi hurriedly picked up the lantern and held the sword in his hand and began to search the way down the mountain.

Meng Yi: "Li Li! Li Li!"

Meng Yi searched all the way from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, and finally heard Li Li's voice on a hillside!

Qingli: "Brother Meng! Brother Meng! I'm here!"

Meng Yi: "Li Li!"

Meng Yi was extremely surprised when he heard the sound. He quickly listened carefully to Li Li's movements and found that she was at the bottom of the hillside, looking disheveled, sitting on a big rock to rest.

He put the lantern aside and quickly came in front of Li Li using his lightness skills.

Meng Yi: "How are you? What happened to you? Are you okay?"

Qingli: "Brother Meng, I'm fine. I just slipped when I was passing by and accidentally fell down the hillside and twisted my ankle. But I have already fixed my bones and it will be fine after a few days of rest. It's just that I don't have the strength to climb up. I tried several times and failed, so I took a rest first. I didn't expect you to come!"

Meng Yi looked Li Li up and down. She didn't seem to have any external injuries, but...

Meng Yi: "Are you sure you just twisted your ankle?"

Qingli: "Well, Brother Meng, don't worry, I'm fine."

Meng Yi: "Nothing? Then why did I find blood-stained cloth in the backyard, and it smelled like medicine?"

Qingli: "That... that should be what Brother Meng took off. I haven't had time to wash it yet."

Meng Yi stared at Li Li with dissatisfaction. This girl still doesn't tell the truth!

Meng Yi: "I smell the smell on it, it's different from the medicine I applied. That cloth is what you took off, right? Was it injured when you saved me? Where else are you injured? Did you get hurt more?"

Qingli: "Hmm..."
