I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

So Wei Kezhi, suppressing his anger, spoke:

"I won't take the things from you, but you have to take me back to the little courtyard on the mountaintop. My leg is injured now..."

Upon hearing that Wei Kezhi wouldn't try to take the things from her, Su Banxia immediately smiled at Wei Kezhi.

"Since you put it that way, I can help you. How about I bandage you up first, otherwise you might bleed to death."

Wei Kezhi, his face deathly pale, waved his hand.

"up to you."

Su Banxia first dug up some purslane, a plant used for stopping bleeding, mashed it with a stone, and applied it to Wei Kezhi's wound.

Wei Kezhi immediately felt that the bleeding from his leg had slowed down, and the wound seemed to feel a little cool and less painful.

Su Banxia then grabbed Wei Kezhi's clothes and ripped off a strip of cloth.

Wei Kezhi cautiously covered his collar and looked at Su Banxia.

"What, what are you trying to do?"

Su Banxia rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly:

"Brother, Brother Wei, wake up! Didn't I say I'd bandage you? If I don't tear your clothes, am I supposed to tear mine?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi's pale face flushed slightly. He dared not say anything more and could only lower his head silently, letting Su Banxia do as she pleased.

Soon, Su Banxia finished bandaging Wei Kezhi's wounds, then picked up her things and helped Wei Kezhi up.

“Your leg has stopped bleeding now. I’ll help you up the mountain, but you need to put in some effort yourself, otherwise I won’t be able to carry you.”

Wei Kezhi nodded with his lips pursed. He had never been in such close contact with a woman before. Whenever someone touched his body, he would feel nauseous and want to vomit. The feeling was so unbearable that he wanted to kill someone.

But now, as he leans against Su Banxia's fragrant and soft body, he not only doesn't feel that way, but he also feels a little secretly pleased.

Wei Kezhi felt extremely dizzy, probably due to excessive blood loss earlier. Now, Wei Kezhi couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

As Su Banxia struggled to climb the mountain, panting heavily, she asked:

"Wei Kezhi, how did you get this leg injured? It doesn't look like an animal injury to me..."

Wei Kezhi, who was still feeling dizzy, immediately hardened her expression upon hearing Su Banxia's words.

"Stop asking."

Su Banxia awkwardly swallowed the words she was about to say.

The two climbed to the top of the mountain in silence with great difficulty. Su Banxia helped Wei Kezhi into the house, then helped him lie down before letting out a sigh of relief and vigorously shaking her arms.

“I said, why did you build the house so high up? Wouldn’t it be better to live at the foot of the mountain? It’s safer there.”

As she spoke, Su Banxia began to look around the house.

"This place probably attracts a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants at night. There might even be bears coming. Now that you're lying here covered in blood, aren't you going to become their food?"

As soon as Su Banxia finished speaking, she met Wei Kezhi's murderous gaze.

"You don't need to worry about that. Could you please fetch me a basin of water so I can wash myself?"

Su Banxia frowned as she looked at his weak appearance.

"Just wait here, I'll go boil a pot of water for you, so that you don't catch a cold before your old injury has healed. If the wound gets infected and you die in these mountains, no one will even know."

Without waiting for Wei Kezhi to speak, Su Banxia turned and left the house to boil water in the yard. She quickly boiled a large basin of water.

Knowing that Wei Kezhi had difficulty moving around, Su Banxia decided to go all the way and adjusted the water temperature for him. She then dragged the basin into the house and helped Wei Kezhi up.

"Men and women should not touch each other. I can't help you take a bath. You should bathe yourself."

Wei Kezhi looked at Su Banxia with an expression as if she were an idiot, and said coldly:

"I didn't intend for you to wash it for me."

Su Banxia pouted and turned to leave, but Wei Kezhi quickly called out to her.

"Um, could you make me that meat dish again, the one you made last time?"

Su Banxia turned around and frowned as she looked at Wei Kezhi.

"Wei Kezhi, don't push your luck! Are you afraid I'll poison you now? I almost forgot, you tied me up for a whole afternoon that day."

Upon seeing this, Wei Kezhi quickly waved his hand and said:

"Hey, there's a cellar in the backyard where we store pork. If you cook me a meal, I'll give you a pound of pork."

Su Banxia swallowed hard at the thought of pork.

"Alright, for the sake of the pork, I'll agree to this for now."

When Wei Kezhi saw that Su Banxia had agreed, for some reason, she silently breathed a sigh of relief. Now, deep down, Wei Kezhi didn't want Su Banxia to leave; even she herself felt like she was going crazy.

He had lived alone on the mountain for so many years, and even a bird flying around his yard would make him feel noisy. Now that Su Banxia, ​​a grown woman, was in his yard, he not only didn't feel disgusted, but actually hoped that she would stay.

What was the reason for this? Was it because she knew medicine? Or because she was a good cook? Wei Kezhi dared not think too deeply about it. At this moment, he felt like his head was about to explode. He should hurry up and wash himself and change his clothes.

Su Banxia was completely oblivious to Wei Kezhi's change; all she could see was the pork, and she had no time to ponder Wei Kezhi's little schemes.

Su Banxia went down into the cellar and saw that it contained cured meat, salted fish, and various animal hides.

Su Banxia's eyes lit up at the sight; with this cellar, she wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for years to come.

"I'll take some with me; he shouldn't be able to tell, right?"

Su Banxia circled the cellar, checking and searching through everything, and finally gritted her teeth and said:

"Forget it, taking without asking is stealing. Anyway, I already have wild rabbits and rabbits, and Wei Kezhi promised to give me a pound of pork. This meat will be enough for the second wife to eat for a while."

After muttering to herself, Su Banxia cut up the pork and climbed out of the cellar. A short while later, she prepared three dishes and a soup. She figured that since she had helped Wei Kezhi so much, he should at least invite her to stay for a meal.

If I eat meat at Wei Kezhi's place, wouldn't the leftover meat be saved for the second wife to have an extra meal?

While secretly plotting her own scheme, Su Banxia carried the food into the house with a smile on her face.

At this moment, Wei Kezhi had already washed up, changed her clothes, and was lying in bed.

Seeing Su Banxia bring in the food, Wei Kezhi quickly got up.

"Are you leaving?"

Su Banxia didn't expect Wei Kezhi to be so heartless, wanting to get rid of her after using her, so she frowned and said:

"What will you do if I leave? Let me stay with you a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi's lips unconsciously curled into a slight smile.

Su Banxia put down the food and went over to help Wei Kezhi. In fact, Wei Kezhi had recovered quite a bit and could get up and walk on his own. However, since Su Banxia was there, Wei Kezhi wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Su Banxia.

Su Banxia was completely oblivious to these little schemes. At that moment, she was preoccupied with figuring out how she could snatch as many pieces of meat as possible.
