Qingli: "Sir, the medicine is no longer hot, you can drink it now."
Meng Yi: "Okay."
Meng Yi drank it all in one gulp and washed the dishes consciously.
Qingli was even more satisfied when she saw this. She actually didn't like washing dishes, but she just didn't say it.
At sunset, Qingli stood by the vegetable patch outside the bamboo house, picking some vegetables and pulling some weeds. She turned around and found Meng Yi carrying a bucket of water, preparing to water the plants.
It has been sunny these days, and the leaves of the vegetables have turned yellow. She was just about to water them.
Meng Yi: "Miss Li, let me help you water the vegetables."
Qingli: "Thank you, Master Meng. I was just about to fetch some water to water the vegetables! But Master Meng's wound hasn't healed yet, so be careful not to open it."
Meng Yi: "No problem, I have thick skin and flesh, so I'll do this kind of rough work. As a martial artist, I can do these things easily."
Meng Yi stayed here for a few days. Seeing that Li Li was so weak and yet had to do these things, often sweating profusely, he couldn't help but help her. He had nothing to do anyway, and these things were not difficult.
Qingli: "Thank you very much, Brother Meng."
Meng Yi: "You're welcome. I'll call you Li Li then."
Qingli: "Okay."
Qingli smiled brightly, and Meng Yi couldn't help but smile too. The depressed woman he saw when he opened his eyes seemed to be a lot more lively. He liked her smile.
He himself is not a talkative person, and he is not a good person, but Li Li is his savior, and he feels that he can participate more in Li Li's affairs to make her happier.
Li Li, whose eyes were filled with sorrow, made him feel pity for her and wanted to soothe her pain.
After carefully watering each vegetable, Meng Yi and Qingli returned to the bamboo house together.
It was another morning. Meng Yi fetched water to wash his face. When he turned around, he saw Qingli, who was wearing men's clothes and had her hair tied up in a crown.
Meng Yi: "This...what are you doing?"
Qingli: "I'm going to town to sell some herbs. The meal is ready. Come over and have dinner, Brother Meng."
Meng Yi: "Oh, okay."
While eating, Meng Yi secretly glanced at Qingli several times.
Qingli put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Meng Yi with a chuckle.
Qingli: "Brother Meng, do you have anything to say?"
Meng Yi: "Li Li, are you planning to disguise yourself as a man and enter the town?"
Qingli: "Yes, it's inconvenient for me as a woman to go out, so men's clothes are more suitable."
Meng Yi: "I see. It's really not safe for a woman to go out. How about I accompany you?"
Qingli: "No need, Brother Meng's injury hasn't healed yet. It will take two hours to get to town."
Meng Yi: "But you are alone..."
Qingli: "It's okay, I'm used to it, it'll be fine."
Meng Yi: "Okay."
Meng Yi was standing in the courtyard. Seeing Qingli's door open, he quickly looked over and saw an ordinary man standing at the door. He had an ordinary face and was wearing ordinary old clothes, but fortunately they were clean. There was a package on his shoulder.
Qingli: "Brother Meng, what do you think of me dressing as a man?"
Meng Yi: "Yes, you have an Adam's apple, your ear piercings are sealed, your face is plain and unremarkable, and you have nothing valuable on you. Do you know how to disguise yourself?"
Qingli: "Yes, Master taught me."
Meng Yi: "I never expected that! You really can't judge a person by his appearance."
Meng Yi was even more certain that Qingli's master was not an ordinary person. He even knew how to disguise himself and had superb medical skills. It might be that he was just ignorant.
Qingli: "Then I'll leave. Brother Meng, have a good rest at home."
Meng Yi: "You really don't want me to accompany you?"
Qingli: "No thanks, Brother Meng, I'll be back in the evening."
Meng Yi: "Okay."
Meng Yi watched Qingli leave. He felt a little uncomfortable being alone.
He looked around, trying to find something to do.
His eyes stopped on the eaves, and he jumped lightly and landed on the bamboo house.
