This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Ye Xiaoxiao thought that snakes were likely to appear near the fields, so she signaled the others not to move and got up to follow Xiao Hei to take a look.

The closer they got to that place, the more excitedly Little Black barked, "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Ye Xiaoxiao squatted down, tilted her head and looked down at the layers of lotus leaves, where she met two pairs of eyes as big as mung beans.

Good heavens! They're two turtles the size of washbasins! And they're mating!

The turtle was timid by nature. After being barked at by Xiao Hei for a while, it tried to run away, but before it could escape, it was discovered by Ye Xiaoxiao.

Ignoring the deep water and muddy pond, Ye Xiaoxiao took off her shoes, rolled up her trousers high, stepped down, bent over, and firmly held down the two turtles' hard shells, afraid they would escape.

"Come quick, help me! I've caught two turtles!"

He Wuyou and Lu Shi'an exchanged a glance, stood up, and ran towards Ye Xiaoxiao.

"You two be careful, stay away from their mouths, or you might get bitten."

Ye Xiaoxiao warned, "Turtle bites can be deadly; once it bites, it won't let go easily."

As she spoke, Ye Xiaoxiao deftly grabbed a turtle from the top, which weighed several pounds.

She forcefully threw the turtle onto the ridge of the field, and He Wuyou, who was walking in front, grabbed the turtle and held it down to prevent it from escaping.

Lu Shi'an, who followed behind, caught the second one that Ye Xiaoxiao had thrown up.

He held the mud-covered turtle to his chest and turned to show it to the little girl, He Wuyang.

"Ugh! This thing is so ugly! Its two little eyes are smaller than its nostrils, it's so ugly!" The little girl glanced at it with disdain, then lowered her head and continued peeling and eating the lotus seeds.

Ye Xiaoxiao instructed the two boys to take the turtles they had caught to Grandpa Wang's house, saying that they might be the ones he kept in the fields.

A short while later, the two boys ran back.

“Sister-in-law, Aunt Wang said it wasn’t raised by her family, and that since we caught it ourselves, it’s ours, and she told us to take it home.”

"Alright, then we'll take a bowl of the stewed turtle to the elderly couple tonight."

Seeing that the sun was getting increasingly scorching and the air was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe, He Jing told a few people to go back.

Getting heatstroke is not good.

Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hand and fiddled with the lotus leaf hat on her head.

"Ah Jing, we'll stay here with you, otherwise you'll be all alone."

After saying that, Ye Xiaoxiao climbed up the ridge of the field, looked down at her muddy legs, found a puddle of clear water, sat down and put her feet in the water, wanting to wash the mud off her feet and legs.

Ok?

Why is there a patch of mud that I can't seem to wash off?

Even through the water, it wasn't very clear, so Ye Xiaoxiao bent down and reached her hand into the water to remove the mud.

what--

The feel is not right!

She pulled her feet back and finally saw clearly what was wrapped around her ankles!

"Ah - help!"

It was a leech!

She was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream and jumped three feet high!

He then vigorously swung his legs, trying to shake off the disgusting stuff, as if if he was too slow, the leeches would crawl into his body and wreak havoc inside.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The children stood by, bewildered, as it was the first time they had ever seen their sister-in-law like this.

The sound of rushing water came from behind him, and the next second, He Jing had already run to the shore.

"What's wrong?" His expression revealed anxiety and worry.

Ye Xiaoxiao turned her face away, not daring to look, and only pointed to her ankle.

He Jing squatted down and pulled the leech out of her ankle. Its swollen belly was full of blood, which must have been attracted when she went down to the field to catch turtles.

He casually tossed the leech into the grass nearby and gently patted Ye Xiaoxiao's back to comfort her.

After this incident, Ye Xiaoxiao dared not linger on the ridge of the field. She glanced down at her still bleeding wound and fled with the children as if her life depended on it.

She's most afraid of things that are soft and boneless!

Although Wujitang also has leeches, they are dried medicinal materials and are far less terrifying than when they were alive.

As the sun gradually set, He Jing continued to work diligently, sweat streaming down his forehead and into his eyes. It wasn't until dusk that he emerged from the lotus field, carrying a full load of fresh, crisp lotus roots on his back.

He put the crispy lotus root that Aunt Wang had given him in the kitchen, and saw a pot of soup simmering in it, which smelled quite delicious.

Ye Xiaoxiao and her mother were busy.

Several children sat longingly at the dining table, staring intently at the steaming pot.

"Ah Jing is back! Go wash up, dinner's almost ready!"

He Jing nodded; he did feel uncomfortable because of the stench.

Fortunately, washing up in the summer is not as troublesome as in the winter. He is in good health and can rinse with cold water directly.

After Ye Xiaoxiao finished using the restroom, she passed by He Jing's shower stall.

On a whim, she craned her neck toward the door, wondering if it was okay to sneak a peek.

She moved closer to the door, where there was a gap. She squinted with one eye, trying to sneak a peek.

"Squeak-"

The door suddenly opened!

Both the person inside and outside the door were startled. He Jing never expected that Xiao Xiao would be standing outside peeking!

Ye Xiaoxiao was even more shocked. She didn't expect He Jing to open the door suddenly. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back. Her feet slipped on the slippery moss and she was about to fall backward.

He Jing threw down the wooden bucket in his hand and made a move to grab her.

Ye Xiaoxiao instinctively wanted to grab onto something, and she did manage to grab it...

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. She leaned back, and He Jing pulled her back so she wouldn't fall backward and suffer the pain of her bottom splitting in three pieces.

But......

She stared blankly at the thing in her hand, then looked at the naked He Jing in front of her, and was momentarily stunned.

This is--

The surroundings fell silent instantly. Ye Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the thing in her hand, not knowing what to do.

She did want to peek, but she never expected things to turn out this way.

Ye Xiaoxiao came to her senses, feeling a mix of emotions. Not only was she caught peeping at He Jing while he was showering, but she had also torn off He Jing's fig leaf.

Although it was already dark, she still spotted a giant creature hidden in the jungle.

This is really bad—

She squinted, turned her head, and reluctantly handed the cloth in her hand to He Jing.

In contrast, He Jing was noticeably calmer. After showering, he simply grabbed a towel to wrap himself up and planned to go to his room to change into clean clothes. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped outside, he watched helplessly as Xiao Xiao ripped off the only piece of clothing he was wearing.

"I didn't see anything!"

As soon as she said it, she wished she could bite off her own tongue. Wasn't this just a classic case of protesting too much?

But when I think about how I'm a doctor, what is there to be ashamed of when I don't know about the human body?

In an instant, she convinced herself.

"Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect you to have this kind of fetish!" He Jing slowly wrapped the cloth around himself again, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
