Under the pressure of Liu Yang, he was forced to apologize to Ye Xiaohan.
He had always looked down on Ye Xiaohan, but today he was taken aback by her intelligence.
He wondered if this wicked woman had accidentally hit her head and woken up. Naturally, he couldn't refuse his elder brother's words and obediently apologized to her.
Ye Xiaohan was not a saint by any means; she knew Liu Yang didn't like her. The reason might be due to the sins committed by her previous host, but now she was herself and had no reason to feel guilty towards him. She shot him a sidelong glance and instructed, "Take this silver and buy some rice for cooking. I'm going out to gather some medicine for your brother."
After handing Liu Yang a small amount of silver, Ye Xiaohan walked out alone.
...
Ye Xiaohan was originally a highly skilled Doctor of Medicine in the 21st century; asking her to find a doctor for medicine was absurd. She remembered that there were plenty of herbs on the hillside where Qi had taken her to pick wild fruits, and she only needed to find something to dispel bruises.
Although the mountain wasn't high, climbing it was somewhat strenuous.
Ye Xiaohan now loathed her chubby body; it was truly troublesome. She needed to come up with a way to slim down. After all, in the 21st century, she was a top-tier loli doctor!
Lost in thought, she suddenly twisted her foot and fell without having time to scream.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaohan reacted quickly and grabbed onto a vine at the edge of the mountain. Otherwise, if she tumbled down the slope into the water below, the rushing current would surely sweep her away.
However, things weren't much better now.
Suspended in mid-air, neither up nor down, it was somewhat difficult for her to climb back up.
After looking around, Ye Xiaohan suddenly spotted a platform not far away, but it was still a bit of a distance from where she was now. Getting there would be quite challenging.
As the vine seemed on the verge of giving way under her weight, Ye Xiaohan had no choice but to grit her teeth and swing herself across.
"Thud..."
The heavy sound of landing echoed as Ye Xiaohan fortunately landed on the platform, brushing off the dust from her clothes, feeling relieved to have escaped.
Behind the platform appeared to be a cave, and with a surge of courage, Ye Xiaohan stepped inside.
The cave was damp and cold, sending a chill down her spine. In her past life, she had loved exploring and had ventured into the wilderness many times, knowing that such caves often harbored numerous dangers.
"Hiss... Hiss..."
Strange sounds echoed from the darkness, sending shivers through her body.
Having just been bitten by a snake, Ye Xiaohan quickly realized that there must be snakes lurking in this cave!
With no way to retreat now, she could only press forward cautiously.
After taking just two steps, a dark shadow lunged at her. Ye Xiaohan rolled aside and fell to the ground. As she prepared to get up, she felt something soft and sticky against her hand. Turning her head, she was suddenly filled with joy.
To her surprise, her fall had unearthed a massive spiritual mushroom. This mushroom was pitch black, its cap glistening with moisture, and it was about the size of her palm—likely several decades old. Ye Xiaohan felt as if she had struck gold and was about to pluck the mushroom.
Suddenly sensing a chill behind her, Ye Xiaohan turned around to find a gigantic Old Snake coiled behind her. Its head was at least two or three times larger than the one she had encountered earlier that afternoon, its tongue flicking dangerously.
Seeing the snake's menacing form, Ye Xiaohan knew that in order to take the Giant Ganoderma, she would first have to deal with this Old Snake.
"People die for wealth, birds perish for food!" Ye Xiaohan was determined to obtain the Giant Ganoderma. Fortunately, before she left, she had taken a few embroidery needles from the sixth family, worried about the dangers of the mountain; otherwise, she would be in dire straits right now.
The standoff between her and the giant snake lasted several minutes. Seeing that Ye Xiaohan showed no fear at all, the snake dared not make a rash move.
Ye Xiaohan knew that the longer the stalemate continued, the more disadvantageous it would be for her. With a feint to distract the snake, she suddenly thrust an embroidery needle into its vital spot. Fearing that the needle might be too thin and lack sufficient force, she also grabbed a stone and smashed it down. Taking advantage of the snake's momentary weakness, Ye Xiaohan exerted all her strength to straighten its body!
Once the snake's bones were straightened, it was as good as dislocated all over, turning it into a useless creature!
Ye Xiaohan left the snake's body behind. Initially, she intended to take it back with her, but then thought better of it; explaining it to Liu Bei would be difficult.
After retrieving the Ganoderma, she ventured deeper into the cave. Ahead, she could see light; it seemed like there was an exit.
After walking for quite some time, Ye Xiaohan finally emerged from the cave.
The entrance of this cave was particularly concealed; even someone as clever as Ye Xiaohan almost lost her way. Fortunately, she had marked her path on the way back—who knows when it might come in handy?
By the time she returned to Liu's home, it was already late!
The three members of the Liu family were seated at the dining table, their expressions not looking too good. Upon noticing Ye Xiaohan enter, Liu Bei's eyes instantly lit up, and the long scar on his face seemed to brighten as well.
"Sister-in-law, you're back!" The first to speak was Liu Qi. Ever since Ye Xiaohan saved her, this girl no longer called her a bad woman but sweetly referred to her as sister-in-law.
Ye Xiaohan glanced at the dining table: a bowl of rabbit meat, a pile of cabbage, a bit of fried rice, and two or three sweet potatoes—all untouched. It seemed they had been waiting for her to eat. She set down her backpack, washed her hands, and sat at the table casually saying, "You don't have to wait for me!"
This statement instantly infuriated Liu Yang. He put down the sweet potato he had just picked up and complained, "Thank goodness you remembered to come back; otherwise, I reckon our family of three would have starved at this table today."
After hearing this, Ye Xiaohan glanced at 6 Bei and noticed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
She had initially wanted to taunt 6 Yang but thought better of it. Instead, she waved her hand at everyone and said, "Alright, let’s eat. Even Qi can't hold back his hunger any longer."
Under the threatening gaze of 6 Bei, 6 Yang finally relented.
By the end of the meal, neither 6 Bei nor 6 Yang had eaten any meat; it was only Ye Xiaohan and 6 Qi who enjoyed the food while the two men settled for sweet potatoes and some cabbage.
"It's great to have a sister-in-law. I haven't had rabbit meat in a year!" 6 Qi exclaimed happily, boasting to Ye Xiaohan.
Ye Xiaohan turned to look at 6 Bei, who had a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. He mumbled, "Today we got some silver. I originally caught this rabbit to sell, but since we have money now, I’ll keep it for you two to nourish yourselves instead of selling it."
Now it was Ye Xiaohan's turn to feel a bit embarrassed. The man from the mountains was indeed sincere. He had saved her life and was now offering her the best from his home.
Ye Xiaohan lifted her chopsticks and picked up a piece of rabbit meat, placing it into 6 Bei's bowl. She awkwardly said, "You two should eat some too; we still need you to work."
Seeing this unfold made 6 Yang feel uneasy. Could it be that this woman had really changed? He found it hard to believe given her past behavior.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaohan felt her outstretched hand being firmly grasped by 6 Bei. Confused, she tried to pull away, but he held on tightly.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Xiaohan asked anxiously.
6 Bei rolled up Ye Xiaohan's sleeve with a pained expression and said, "What happened here?"
Looking down, Ye Xiaohan realized she had been injured without even noticing. There was a large dark bruise on her arm, and now that she was aware of it, she felt a dull ache starting to set in.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention at the dining table, Ye Xiaohan felt quite embarrassed. She withdrew her hand from Liu Bei and awkwardly said, "It's nothing, I just tripped while gathering herbs. Don't worry, let's eat."
"Smack..."
Liu Bei slammed his chopsticks down on the table, producing a crisp sound.
Liu Yang seemed to have received a message and turned to Ye Xiaohan, saying, "Sister-in-law, it's my fault. I misunderstood you. I'm sorry; let me make it up to you."
After all, he was the brother of her lifesaver, and Ye Xiaohan didn't want to make things too difficult for him. She smiled at Liu Yang and said, "Alright, let's eat!"
After finishing their meal, Ye Xiaohan handed the herbs she had gathered to Liu Yang and asked him to prepare them.
"Why did you gather these herbs yourself? Didn't you buy them from the doctor? You can't just take any medicine without knowing!" Liu Yang questioned.
Understanding Liu Yang's concerns, Ye Xiaohan explained without hesitation, "I worked in a pharmacy for a few days, so I've learned quite a bit about herbs. Your brother's illness isn't serious; I can manage with some herbs. It's too expensive to consult a doctor."
Thinking about the situation at home, Liu Yang had no choice but to let it go. He could only blame himself for being so young and unaccomplished.
After sending Liu Yang off, Ye Xiaohan sat alone in the courtyard, lost in thought.
In the past two days, first she had been injured. Second, she needed to wash up. Both times she had sent Liu Bei to sleep with Liu Yang. Today, after dinner, Liu Bei had already made his intentions clear. What should she do?
Could it be that she really had to share a bed with that unfamiliar man?
