Chapter 126 His Heartbeat(1/2)
"Auntie, Li Chu is still young, so you don't have to worry too much." Jiang Zuilan interrupted Auntie Li. She didn't want to repay her for saving her life.
Aunt Liu gently held Jiang Zuilan's hand and said, "Girl, Chu'er is a good boy, kind-hearted, hard-working, and he also knows how to love others..."
"Auntie, I know all this, but I haven't thought about it yet." Jiang Zuilan looked at her, knowing that this was a mother with good intentions, but this did not mean that she wanted to fulfill her painstaking efforts, out of gratitude
It's not like her to live with a man. She has always been a carefree and free-spirited person.
Aunt Li said softly: "Girl, isn't it better to find a man who loves you and marry her for the rest of your life than to suffer all the time for yourself?"
In Jiang Zuilan's opinion, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on anyone, let alone who can always be with him.
"Auntie, it's time for me to make some medicine." Jiang Zuilan took his hand out of hers, turned around and walked out.
Aunt Li said a lot today, more than Jiang Zuilan had said in the more than a month since he had lived in her house.
It's just that they are not the same people after all, and they have different ideas. Aunt Li can't convince her, and Jiang Zuilan doesn't want to convince her, so that's it.
In her opinion, this kind of thing is just a small episode, a dispensable moment in a long time, which will eventually be forgotten, and there is no need to explain it deliberately.
When Jiang Zuilan went to prepare medicine and send it to Aunt Li, she did not continue the topic this time. She probably gave up. No matter what, Jiang Zuilan didn't care.
After noon, Li Chu and Mei Yue returned from the town.
Jiang Zuilan saw the two people entering the yard and said, "We're back."
"Well, I'm back. Alan, I'll give this to you." Li Chu took out a wrapped thing from his backpack and handed it to Jiang Zuilan.
Jiang Zuilan opened it and saw that it was a piece of clothing. It could be vaguely seen that it was a pure light blue dress.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, you always wear Mei Yue's clothes, which makes Mei Yue have less clothes to wear." He turned to Mei Yue and said, "Mei Yue, I will give it to you after I finish washing your clothes.
Send it."
"Yeah." Mei Yue hummed with a cold face, turned around and strode away.
She thought the clothes Li Chu bought were for her, but... she was happy for a long time.
Huh, who cares about those rags? She has plenty of rags. You can give them all to her. Who cares about them?
Damn Li Chu! Damn Li Chu! When you buy clothes for others, you actually gesture at her body and refuse to buy them for her. What are you gesticulating like this!
Li Chu noticed that something was wrong with Mei Yue. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He was quite happy just now, but why did he suddenly change his attitude? Is it because he was too late to put on his clothes?
Li Chu scratched his head and said to Jiang Zuilan, "I forgot that your eyes are inconvenient. The newly bought clothes need to be washed before you can wear them. I'll wash them first. When they are dry, you can change them out and I will take them.
Go clean it and return it to Mei Yue, otherwise Mei Yue will be unhappy if the delay continues."
"Thanks."
"Hehe, why are you so polite!" Li Chu took the clothes and ran to the kitchen happily.
After washing his clothes, Li Chu put away the pork he bought, made braised pork, smiled, took a bowl of rice from the pot, put a few pieces of meat on it, handed it to Jiang Zuilan and said, "Eat it quickly."
After another half month, Jiang Zuilan's eyes could roughly see, but they were a little blurry. It should not take long for them to recover.
Li Chu has been going up to the mountains more often recently, and he spends most of his time running there. It’s just that the sun is almost setting today and he hasn’t come back yet. Normally, he should be back by this time.
Aunt Li, who was already anxious over there, waited and waited but saw no sign of Li Chu coming back. She worriedly asked Jiang Zuilan in the yard.
"Girl... Chu'er hasn't come back yet?"
"He's not back yet. Don't worry, aunt. I'll go look for you." Jiang Zuilan stood up and was about to leave when he heard Aunt Li's voice coming from the other side.
"Girl, can your eyes be okay?"
"Don't worry, ma'am, you can see some."
"Then girl, you have to slow down a little bit. Hey, it's all my fault..."
Jiang Zuilan was about to leave but didn't know where to look, so he asked Aunt Li the direction of the back mountain where Li Chu usually collects medicine, and then slowly walked towards the back mountain.
Jiang Zuilan didn't know where Li Chu would be, so he paid attention to the movements around him as he walked. As he walked, he heard a slight cry for help.
"Li Chu?"
"Li Chu?"
"it's me."
There was a response not far away, and Jiang Zuilan walked slowly that way.
Li Chu, who was on the ground, heard the voice and his eyes were full of life. He looked up and saw Jiang Zuilan's raised hair, glowing with a faint golden light under the sunset, and those bright eyes dazzled him.
"Alan, why are you here? Be careful of snakes." When he saw Jiang Zuilan, Li Chu's tense body relaxed. He leaned against the big tree behind him and let out a breath.
"You won't be bitten by a snake, right?"
"Yeah." Li Chu looked at Jiang Zuilan and nodded.
At dusk, Jiang Zuilan was wearing light blue clothes, staring at him with somewhat distracted eyes.
"Where's the bite?"
"Leg, on the leg." Li Chu looked at her blankly, but when he saw Shang Jiang Zuilan's crystal clear eyes, his facial features, which were wrinkled in pain, softened instantly.
"Has the poison been sucked out?"
"I've sucked it out and applied medicine. It's not life-threatening. I just don't have the strength to leave now." There are also people bitten by snakes in the village, so he also knows some ways to deal with snake bites.
Jiang Zuilan bent down slightly and put Li Chu on his back with force. The young man was caught off guard and pressed against a soft back.
The unique smell of girls lingered on the tip of Li Chu's nose, making his face instantly turn red to his ears, and his whole body became uncontrollably stiff. He was carried on Jiang Zuilan's back without daring to move.
This was the first time in his life that he had such close contact with a girl. His face was as red as a ripe apple. His face was very hot, and his heart was even hotter. His heart was beating hard.
, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.
"I'm very heavy, put me down quickly. It's inconvenient for your eyes, and your injuries haven't healed yet." Li Chu came to his senses, suppressed his pounding heart, and was carried by a girl, letting him
A little embarrassed.
Jiang Zuilan was so close to him that she could feel his heart beating against her back, making it a little noisy. Could it be that the poisoning caused his heart to be disordered?
"Don't make any noise." Jiang Zuilan said. His pounding heart was already noisy enough, but it became even more noisy when he had to talk.
The girl's voice was crisp, which made Li Chu feel sweet in his heart. This sweet feeling in his heart made him lose his mind.
He didn't expect Jiang Zuilan's strength to carry him for a while. Looking at the girl whose steps were already a little unsteady, her body was soaked with sweat. He wiped the sweat on her forehead with his sleeve, and his heart trembled.
He trembled and said, "Put me down. I'll tire you out later."
"Well, take a break." Jiang Zuilan was really struggling to carry Li Chu on his back. He had to pay attention to his steps while walking. Anyway, walking on this rugged mountain road was not easy.
"Alan, why don't you go back and find someone? I'll wait for you here."
"I didn't realize you were so verbose?" I went back to look for the person. It was getting dark every time I came back. Don't let the wild beast take me away again when the time comes.
Hearing Jiang Zuilan's words, Li Chu suddenly became silent.
Jiang Zuilan rested for a while, then carried Li Chu on her back and walked on the uneven mountain road. The sky was getting dark, so she walked slowly and slowly.
Every step she took seemed to step on Li Chu's heart. Looking at her hair that was within easy reach, his eyes were a little dazed.
She seemed to be shrouded in a cold mist, with a coldness that could repel people thousands of miles away, but now she was so close to him. At this moment, he hoped that this road would go farther quickly, but he was selfish at the same time.
I hope this road never ends.
At such a close distance, under the moonlight, she seemed to be the poison that stirred his heart, making him fall deeply into it.
Trying his best to hold down his racing heart, he could almost feel the coolness on her skin under her clothes.
They were very close, so close that it seemed like she could touch his lips with just a slight tilt of her face.
He suppressed the emotion in his heart and tried to be as calm as possible, hoping that this would make her feel more relaxed, even though he knew it might be of no use.
When she walked, she looked very focused.
So much so that she didn't realize that the man on her back was looking at her in the moonlight with his fiery eyes.
The corners of Li Chu's mouth curled up, as if he owned the whole world.
Jiang Zuilan carried Li Chu on his back and walked for about half an hour, and finally saw the blurry house, which was the house of Li Chu's family.
Suddenly, a surprised female voice came from the side, "Brother Li Chu, what's wrong with you?"
Mei Yue saw a thin girl carrying a boy on her back. When she was thinking about who was so strong, she took a closer look and saw that the person on her back turned out to be Li Chu?
Mei Yue was immediately shocked and ran over immediately.
"Mei Yue? I was bitten by a snake and couldn't walk. It was Ah Lan who carried me back." Li Chu explained, his sword-shaped eyebrows furrowing tightly because of the pain.
"What was bitten by a snake? Where was it bitten? Let me see quickly!" Mei Yue ignored everything else. She only heard that Li Chu was bitten by a snake.
"I was collecting medicine in the forest and was accidentally bitten by a snake. But now I'm fine. I sucked out the poison and applied herbal medicine."
"I told you to be careful, how could you still be bitten by a snake?" Mei Yue's eyes were a little red, and seeing Mei Yue crying, Li Chu suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"Mei Yue, am I okay? Don't worry." Li Chu wanted Mei Yue to be quiet. He was afraid that she would disturb Jiang Zuilan with her crying.
"Brother Li Chu, I'll carry you. Alan, thank you for your hard work. You rest for a while, and I'll carry you." Mei Yue stretched out her hand to pull Li Chu, and Jiang Zuilan put Li Chu down.
If someone wants to carry it just right, but you are still tired, someone will give it to you, and you can carry it.
