Chapter 38

“Mother, we want to sleep with you!”

“Mother, we’re afraid of the dark. It’s too dark in that house. We’re afraid!”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu looked at Su Li pitifully like little puppies, their eyes still watery.

“Didn’t you always sleep on your own?”

Su Li looked at the two brats in front of her and expressed her doubts. In the past, they had always slept well themselves. Why couldn’t they sleep by themselves today?

“We’re afraid. Besides, it’s dark in that room. There might be ghosts!”

“Yes, we’re afraid of ghosts.”

The brothers echoed each other and finally climbed onto Su Li’s bed.

The two brothers lay flat on the bed, looking like they would stay here no matter what.

Su Li looked at their shameless expressions and couldn’t help but complain in her heart. They said that they were afraid of ghosts, but they didn’t know that the ghost was right in front of them!

Her bed was not big, and it was a little cramped for three people to sleep on, especially in this weather. It was a little hot to squeeze together.

“How about…”

Su Li wanted to tell them to go back to their rooms to sleep. She would accompany them to sleep before coming over, but before she could finish speaking, she heard a small snore.

Su Li lowered her head and looked at the person sleeping under her armpit. The brothers looked really satisfied.

“Hehe…” He Qingmu laughed out loud. It was unknown what kind of beautiful dream he had.

Forget it, let’s leave it at that!

It was a little hotter but she’ll just let it be then…

Su Li took the fan and started fanning herself.

Cuckoo~

The rooster began to crow, and Su Li opened her eyes.

Just as she was about to get up, she felt something pressing on her hand. She subconsciously wanted to throw the thing in her hand away, but she thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

She looked down and saw that it was the two children sleeping on her arms!

And the drool was all over her arm.

Su Li wanted to quietly pull her arm out and let them continue sleeping. After all, children could only grow taller when they slept.

She realized that she couldn’t feel her arm at all. It was as if it was crippled.

Did they lose feeling after the boys slept on them?

Su Li pulled her arm out and gently began to rub it.

“Mother?” He Qingmu rubbed his eyes and called his mother without turning around.

Su Li replied gently, “Yes, continue sleeping. I’ll get up and make breakfast for you.”

After breakfast, Su Li taught He Qingyao and He Qingmu a few words before walking to the backyard with her hoe.

The grass in the backyard grew faster than the things she planted. If she didn’t hoe the grass in time, the things she planted wouldn’t grow.

Indeed, a lazy person had no food to eat!

After hoeing the grass in the backyard, Su Li ran up the mountain to look for the white mark leaves. This was an important thing to upgrade the shop, so she could not delay any longer.

With her previous experience, Su Li had picked a lot of white mark leaves. If she didn’t need them, she would plant them in her space.

“Yam?” Su Li discovered the existence of yam while picking the white mark leaves.

This was good stuff. There was nothing to eat at home now. If she dug these up, they make a few meals with it. She could even make some snacks for the two brothers.

Su Li rolled up her sleeves and started digging. After a while, she dug up half the basket worth of them.

“Let’s pack up and go home!” Su Li clapped her hands, carried the basket on her back, and left with the hoe.

Hiss~ Hiss~

Su Li heard a movement that would make someone’s scalp tingle. Of course, this someone did not include her. At this moment, she was still a little excited.

She turned around calmly and saw a snake not far behind her.

“Hello, brother!” Su Li greeted the snake.

Viper: “Is there something wrong with this person?”

If anyone else saw this poisonous snake, they would probably be so frightened that they would fly up. However, Su Li was different. At this moment, she only had the snake’s gallbladder and meat in her eyes!

The snake’s gallbladder had the effect of removing rheumatism, cooling the eyes, and detoxifying the rash. The snake’s meat was fresh and delicious, so the snake’s entire body was a treasure.

Su Li raised the hoe in her hand and hit the snake’s weak spot. Before the snake could react, she killed it.

“Not bad. I can eat my fill again tonight.” Su Li went back happily with the snake.

Before she could walk down the mountain, Su Li realized that someone was lying in the grass.

Initially, she did not want to care, but as a doctor, she still walked over.

Who asked that old man to brainwash her in the past? He said that as a doctor, she could not leave people in the lurch. If she encountered any difficulties, she had to lend a helping hand.

“So he was bitten by a snake!” Su Li saw the man’s swollen wound.

That person’s entire leg was completely black. If this continued, not only would his leg be crippled, but he would probably die here.

The most important thing now was to get rid of the poison in his legs. She didn’t bring a knife, and she even forgot to bring her broken sickle.

Just as Su Li was vexed, she saw the scythe buried in the grass. She picked it up without hesitation and slashed at that person’s wound.

After releasing most of the poisonous blood, Su Li got up and went to find some herbs for that person. One was for internal use, and the other was for external use.

After using Su Li’s medicine, that person’s life was no longer in danger. Su Li still had to go home to cook, so she did not stay long and went back.

Su Li had just reached the foot of the mountain when she saw Chen Xiang walking up the mountain anxiously.

“What’s wrong?” Su Li asked.

When Chen Xiang saw Su Li, it was as if she had seen her savior. She hurriedly went up and held her hand.

“Why are you only back now? Don’t you know that someone has come to your house, and it’s a noble!”

Noble? Nobles would come to that dilapidated straw hut? Was she joking with her?

Su Li said in disbelief, “Sister, are you serious? How can there be a noble in our house?”

“Someone really came. Moreover, they specifically mentioned that they were looking for you. Dahu and Erhu were shocked just now and came straight to my house.”

Chen Xiang knew that she did not believe it, but it was the truth.

“He Qingmu, He Qingyao!” Su Li kindly reminded Chen Xiang that she had called the wrong name.

Only then did Chen Xiang realize that Su Li had changed the child’s name. She said embarrassedly, “Yes, yes, yes. Qingyao, Qingmu, look at my poor memory. I didn’t remember it the last time you told me. I definitely won’t remember it wrong next time.”

She still felt that Dahu and Erhu were easy to say. Su Li’s name was so difficult to read!

“Let’s go take a look first,” Su Li said.

She didn’t know any nobles. If they really came looking for her, they were most likely looking for He Yufeng. After all, He Yufeng had been to the battlefield before, so it wasn’t impossible for him to know one or two people.

She completely ignored an important piece of information. Just now, Chen Xiang said that the person was looking for her by name, so how could he be looking for someone else?

“Why aren’t you leaving?” As Su Li walked, she realized that Chen Xiang had fallen behind.

“Snake, snake!” Chen Xiang pointed at the half of the thing that had fallen out of Su Li’s basket.

Su Li turned around and looked at the snake’s body that had fallen out. She calmly threw it into the basket.

“Alright, don’t be afraid, it’s dead.”

Chen Xiang’s legs were almost trembling. She seemed to have seen the snake move just now. It did not seem to be completely dead!
