Chapter 6: The Herb Picker Is Charming (Part 3)

When Meng Yi opened his eyes, he found himself in a bamboo house. His eyes were full of alertness. When he saw the woman sleeping at the table, his eyes became less vigilant.

It seems that I am lucky and was rescued by someone.

Meng Yi: "Hiss..."

Just as Meng Yi was about to get up, he found himself in pain all over his body. This time his injury was too serious.

Qingli: "Master, are you awake?"

Qingli woke up immediately when she heard the noise. Seeing the man struggling to sit up, she hurried forward to help him sit down and handed him a cup of tea.

Qingli: "Young Master has been unconscious for three days and three nights. He must be thirsty. Drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Meng Yi raised his hand to take it, and paused for a second on the woman's slender and tender hands. He felt much better after drinking the tea.

Meng Yi: "Where is this?"

Qingli: "This is my home. I saw you at the foot of the mountain that day. Seeing that you were seriously injured, I brought you back."

Meng Yi: "Thank you, young lady. I will definitely repay you for saving my life."

Qingli: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Young Master must be hungry. You have been unconscious for the past few days, and I have only tried to feed you some liquid food. I will go prepare some food first."

Meng Yi: "Thank you for your help, young lady."

Qingli smiled shyly and went to the kitchen.

Meng Yi leaned against the bed and looked around the room. On the table next to him were his jade pendant, purse, and sword. He knew that his clothes were definitely not wearable.

He looked at his coarse gray coat, which looked like it was worn many years ago. Since there were men's clothes, there might be other people here too. Judging from the girl's hairstyle, she was still unmarried. So was this man the girl's brother? Or her father? His clothes must have been exchanged by the man. It had to be, otherwise a weak woman wouldn't have been able to carry him back.

Qingli: "Sir, I cooked some porridge and a few light dishes. It's just a simple meal. Please eat whatever you like."

Meng Yi: "Thank you very much, young lady. I will always remember your kindness."

Meng Yi looked at the dishes on the table. Although they were all ordinary side dishes, they looked good.

Meng Yi: "Miss, are you ready for dinner?"

Qingli: "I've already eaten, please eat now, sir."

After Meng Yi sat down, he drank some porridge and ate a few side dishes. He saw the girl next to him looking at him eagerly with a nervous expression.

Meng Yi: "It's delicious! I didn't expect the girl's cooking skills to be so good! Meng Yi is in for a treat."

Qingli: "That's good, please eat. You can have more porridge when you finish it. There's more in the rice bowl. Put the bowl aside after you finish it. I'll come and collect it."

Meng Yi: "Thank you for your help, young lady."

Maybe he was really hungry, or maybe it was because Qingli's cooking skills were good, Meng Yi finished all the food. He thought that since he lived here, he always had to do some work, so he cleaned up the dishes and prepared to take them to the kitchen, and took a look at the surrounding environment.

When Qingli came in, she saw the man sitting on the ground and getting up with difficulty.

Qingli: "Are you okay, Master?"

Qingli quickly helped Meng Yi sit on the bed.

Meng Yi: "It's nothing. I just felt a pain in my wound and felt a little weak, so I fell down."

Meng Yi smiled bitterly. He was about to go out, but he fell down. Fortunately, he didn't break any dishes.

Qingli: "I saw that you were in good spirits, but I overlooked your serious injuries and asked you to get out of bed. It's my fault."

Qingli glanced at Meng Yi in annoyance.

Meng Yi: "What's wrong with you, young lady? I underestimated the severity of my injury, but I can still get out of bed and eat."

Qingli: "I forgot. You lost too much blood and were poisoned. You won't be able to recover soon."

Meng Yi was not surprised when he heard that he was poisoned. After all, he was poisoned first, which was why he was no match for those people.

Qingli: "Don't worry, you can stay here. There's no one around here, so it's safe for now."

Meng Yi: "Thank you for your hard work, young lady."

Meng Yi: "By the way, I've taken over this room and even worn someone else's clothes. I wonder if the owner has any other place to live. If not, I'd really feel bad."

After hearing this, Qingli's face showed some sadness.

Qingli: "Don't worry, there's no one else here."

Meng Yi looked at the girl who was carrying the dishes and chopsticks out, feeling a little confused.

Meng Yi: "The girl seems unhappy. Did I say something I shouldn't have said?"

Meng Yi pursed his lips, frowning slightly. Could it be that... this man has already...

Thinking of this possibility, Meng Yi felt a little regretful. He must have made the girl sad!
