Chapter 233 - Farmhouse
Xu Zifan bandaged Zheng Chuan’s shoulder and back wounds without any distractions. Other wounds with little bleeding were ignored. The environment here is simple and there are no medicinal materials, and bandaging is only a temporary deal. It is still necessary to hurry down to clean the wound and apply medicine.
The smell of blood is too strong, and it is easy to attract other beasts. Xu Zifan sat on the ground slowly and prepared to carry Zheng Chuan and leave. But when he saw the dead tiger, he didn’t want to give up. In modern times, tigers are protected animals. It is hard to want tiger bones and tiger whips. Now that these are in sight, the tigers were killed by them, and it would be too violent to abandon them.
Xu Zifan looked at the surrounding environment, dragged the tiger into its cave with great effort, cleared a clearing at the entrance of the cave, and picked up a pile of dry wood to set a fire. Beasts are afraid of fire, even if there is a fire at the entrance of the cave, there is a protective door. Xu Zifan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and hurriedly carried Zheng Chuan down the mountain. He had the time to explore the way, bypassing dangerous animals and people who went into the mountain to dig wild vegetables all the way, and went down the mountain without any surprises, and went to Zheng Chuan’s house to put her on the bed.
Xu Zifan went to the stove to boil water. It is estimated that a large pot of water will take a long time to boil. Zheng Chuan is **** and must be washed well. If it is a man, he will take him directly to the hot spring to wash it, but she is a woman, so she will have to wake her up and let her wash herself later. .
Xu Zifan sat and rested while burning the fire. When the fire rose, he simply washed his face, found a straw mat and rope in the yard, and ran into the mountains to drag the tiger. Xu Zifan put out the fire at the entrance of the cave, and after some tossing, he wrapped the tiger with a straw mat, tied it tightly with a rope, dragged it down the mountain, and placed it in Zheng Chuan’s courtyard. His two bamboo baskets were still on the mountain, and it was almost dark. He hurriedly went up the mountain again to look for the bamboo baskets. There were some medicinal materials he had dug in them.
Fortunately, his bamboo basket was not far from the entrance of the mountain. There were no animals, no one passed by, and was never touched. After running back and forth for so long, Xu Zifan was exhausted. He followed the map to find the cave with the hot spring, went in and soaked comfortably for a quarter of an hour, took a good shower, and washed his clothes. But he didn’t change anything, so he could only go down the mountain in wet clothes.
After coming down the mountain, Xu Zifan went home first. Mother Xu was shocked when he saw him wet, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? The third child, you fell into the river again?”
Xu Zifan hurriedly said, “Mother, don’t be afraid. I took a bath and it’s okay. Mother, I bought a dog badger from Zheng Chuan last time. He said that the leather is ready. I’ll go and have a look. Eat there.”
Xu’s mother helped him remove the bamboo basket and urged: “Go and change your clothes first. It’s all autumn. It’s cold at night. How can you wear wet clothes? What a mess! Come in and don’t teach the wind. .”
When Xu Zifan entered the house, he brought a basket of medicinal materials in, and said, “Mother, please help me watch it. You can’t let anyone come in. These are worth a lot of money.”
“Mother, I know, don’t worry.” Xu’s mother didn’t care much about the money, and she closed the door for him and urged him to change clothes quickly.
Xu Zifan quickly took off his wet clothes, applied some ointment he had prepared to the wound on his arm, and then wrapped the cloth twice, changing into clean and fresh clothes. He was injured very lightly, just a bit of skin trauma, but just now he was carrying a man and dragging the tiger, and the wound was a little bigger with too much force. Fortunately, Xu’s mother was worried that he had caught the cold and didn’t notice that his clothes were torn. She turned around and found that he had to explain it well.
Moreover, several strips of his shirt were torn off and he could no longer wear it. Thinking that his underwear is now wrapping Zheng Chuan’s body, he can’t help holding his forehead. Isn’t it obvious that women disguised as men in TV shows? You can tell at a glance, why Zheng Chuan is so high-end that he has caught up with the Azhu in “The Eight Parts of the Dragon”. There is no flaw in all-round cover, and there is no ear hole.
It’s no wonder that Zheng Chuan has been living in isolation and not interacting with the people in the village all these years, because he was afraid of being exposed. Also, she is only a teenager in a girl’s family. If she lives in her true colors, she must have a lot of inconveniences. How can she be free to be a male hunter? Moreover, Zheng Chuan committed suicide by two wolves alone to avenge her Master at the age of 15. It is estimated that the reaction of the villagers at that time hurt her. Not only did no one appreciate her revenge for her teacher, but they were afraid and alienated from her, which was disappointing.
Regardless, Zheng Chuan entered the mountain to save him, and he had to go and treat Zheng Chuan as soon as possible.
Xu Zifan took the wild ginseng under the clothes in the wardrobe, and walked out the door with his small medicine box on his back. Xu’s mother frowned upon seeing this, “What are you doing with the medicine box? Zheng Chuan was injured?”
Xu Zifan nodded, “It is inevitable that he will be a bit scratchy while hunting. I happened to have the medicine, so I took it to him for training. Mother, then I’m leaving now. Maybe I will be back later. You don’t have to wait for me. .”
“Ah, okay, I see.” Mother Xu walked into the stove quickly, took out four boiled wild eggs and stuffed them with Xu Zifan, and said, “This is the first time you have dinner at Zheng Chuan’s house, so bring something with you. I didn’t prepare anything in such a hurry, so I just took a few eggs.”
“Okay, then I’m leaving.” Xu Zifan went out carrying the eggs, and the two couples came back just after they sold out their snacks. He nodded to them and walked quickly towards Zheng Chuan’s house.
Su Qianyun asked: “Mother, the third brother is still going out so late? Too hard?”
“He, he went to Zheng Chuan’s house for dinner. I have never seen him play well with any kid. I didn’t expect to get along well with Zheng Chuan.” Xu’s mother said casually and went to cook.
Su Qianyun glanced at Xu Zifan’s back, a little worried. She talked to Zheng Chuan in the morning and ate closed doors. In the evening, Xu Zifan went to Zheng Chuan’s house for dinner. Wouldn’t Zheng Chuan tell Xu Zifan about this? She was still a little impulsive, but she really didn’t expect Zheng Chuan to be so indifferent, not even the cakes she gave, and she didn’t talk about feelings at all.
However, it is precisely because of this that it is different from the farmer in the village, and it can be regarded as a male lead configuration. She will try again. On Zheng Chuan’s terms, it is very rare to want to marry a yellow girl in ancient times. She looks good. Good-looking and profitable, why are they better than others? At that time, let Zheng Chuan serve as a soldier. Maybe she will be the general’s wife in the future, and she will never go out to do business anymore!
Zheng Chuan didn’t even know that she was pretending to be a man. She just woke up, and she knew that she was in her room when she saw the familiar furnishings in the room. She hurriedly sat up and pulled off the collar. She was shocked when she saw that the armor was gone and the white cloth strips were wrapped around her shoulders, chest and abdomen. At this moment, Xu Zifan opened the door and entered the room. Zheng Chuan instantly grabbed the quilt and wrapped it around himself, looked at Xu Zifan vigilantly, and shrank to the corner of the bed.
Xu Zifan paused, tugging at the corners of his mouth to laugh, feeling inappropriate, and hurriedly lowered his head and coughed a few times, pointing to his medicine box and said: “I brought the medicine for trauma, it works well, you…”
“Get out! I have medicine!” Zheng Chuan yelled, lowered her head and beating like a drum. She was not shy, only endless embarrassment and fear. She was found disguised as a man! She was also seen by a man. She was so unprepared for this incident. She was not mentally prepared at all. She was completely lost and didn’t know what to do.
Xu Zifan has been thinking about what to do since he found out that Zheng Chuan is a daughter. Now he sees Zheng Chuan, who doesn’t change his face in the face of the tiger, panicked. Instead, he got down and put the medicine box on the table and opened it. , While taking the medicine, said: “Thank you for entering the mountain to rescue me. I will keep your woman disguised as a man in secret and will not tell anyone until you are willing to say it. Zheng Chuan, I will be responsible…”
“You go out! Get out!” Zheng Chuan frowned tightly and lay on his knees. This kind of conversation was too strange. She was untidy and hidden in the quilt, and Xu Zifan…Xu Zifan was just a person who didn’t get along for long, how could it become like this?
Xu Zifan also feels that saying “I will be responsible” is like a scumbag, looking so cold and emotionless. Who really said it was embarrassing? It was even more embarrassing to say this to a girl who once wanted to choose her brother-in-law as her brother. Xu Zifan walked two steps forward and threw the medicine on the bed two meters away, saying: “I, I will bring you water in, and you will crack the wounds if you make them yourself. You, cough cough, just wipe it off and take this medicine. .”
“you–“
“I’m going out now!” Xu Zifan raised his hands and immediately turned and walked outside, stopped at the door, and said, “What I just said was serious, you think about it.”
After speaking, he quickly closed the door and went out. He stood at the door and took a deep breath, shook his head, and hurried to the stove to fill the bucket with boiling water. Zheng Chuan lives by herself, so there is a big bathtub in a small room next to her. It is where she usually takes a bath. It is safe with doors and locks but no windows.
Xu Zifan went back and forth a few times, poured water into the big tub, tested the temperature, put a bucket of boiling water and a bucket of cold water on the ground, then knocked on Zheng Chuan’s door and said embarrassingly: “Zheng Chuan, I Now that the tub is filled with water, you go… to clean it, and you must take care of the injury, don’t delay.”
Xu Zifan felt relieved when he heard the movement in the room. He saw the tiger on one side and walked over and squatted down to study how to peel off the tiger skin. After a while, Zheng Chuan took out a cloth bag, tied himself with a large cloak, and wrapped himself tightly. She saw Xu Zifan, stopped and said, “Thank you, you go back, I’m fine.”
Xu Zifan glanced at her face, waved his hand, and said, “I am a doctor, let me see it later. I don’t know what you have made on your face, and I can’t see how your face looks. You are very hurt. I will check your pulse and prescribe several medicines so that you can recover your body sooner. Don’t think about other things first. The most important thing is to maintain your body. There is no one else here. I guarantee that today’s matter will not be known to a third person.”
Zheng Chuan secretly took a breath and bowed his head and said, “You don’t have to repay me like this. It was not that I saved you, but you saved me. You were not caught by the worm at all.”
“Then you entered the mountain to save me too. Don’t talk about it. Go and wash it quickly. Remember to apply the medicine.” Xu Zifan bit his head and said, “That…I know you are a woman anyway, wait for you. Don’t deliberately pretend to be a man, so that I can see you more accurately and you will be more comfortable.”
Zheng Chuan didn’t speak this time, he lowered his head and hugged the cloth bag and walked quickly into the bathroom, closed the door and locked it.
Shaohua suddenly said: [Zheng Chuan’s face and ears have increased in temperature. It is speculated that she has just become shy. 】
Xu Zifan smiled: [I didn’t let you monitor this, shut up you! 】
[You should propose to her. According to ancient customs, men are responsible for seeing a woman’s feet. You not only see Zheng Chuan’s feet, but also her shoulders and back. When you bandage her wounds, you touch Arrived her…]
[Shaohua! I know OK? But now is not a good time, Zheng Chuan is so independent, how could he agree to marry me because of this kind of thing? Today’s things are too sudden, she hasn’t slowed down, and I am still blindfolded, okay? We need some time to get along. 】
[Okay, Zheng Chuan’s information has been updated, and I will focus on her in the future. She is your favorite person in this world and is very likely to be your partner. But after she became a woman, do you still like her? 】
Xu Zifan was stunned, and said silently: [How do I know? I used to treat him like a brother! Okay, let’s not talk about this, I will know when we get along more. 】
He glanced at the closed bathroom door and shook his head, “But it was really unexpected that in ancient times, I could meet a woman like this, different from other women, very special. 】
