Chapter 47

Although the rain did not last long, it was heavy and the leaves on the mountain were washed into small piles by the water.

Originally, the road was barely walkable with leaves as footrest, but now it is really difficult to move forward.

The worst thing was that when the two of them finally slid all the way to the middle of the mountain, it started to rain huge raindrops from the sky, covering the entire mountain.

It’s raining again.

It was really bad luck. Gu Qijiao felt that God probably thought it was too easy for her to earn Tong Dixin’s huge sum of money, so he deliberately wanted to make things more difficult for her.

I don’t know which god she offended. The weather was sunny and the sky was clear the past few days, but it started raining today and it hasn’t stopped.

Now both she and Zheng Yunsheng were soaked.

Seeing that Gu Qijiao’s hair was wet, Zheng Yunsheng immediately took off his shirt and put it on Gu Qijiao’s head.

“You think your wound isn’t serious enough? Take off your clothes. The herbs on the wound will be washed away soon. If it gets inflamed, let’s see what you can do!”

As she spoke, Gu Qijiao wanted to return the clothes to Zheng Yunsheng.

Zheng Yunsheng turned around and left: “I’m fine, let’s find a place to shelter from the rain and leave after it stops.”

The current weather is indeed not suitable for continuing to walk down the mountain.

The mountain road is slippery to begin with, and when it rains, the water flows like a small river. If you walk like this, you will probably fall all the way.

There was no choice but for the two to go into the forest and find a cave nearby where they could shelter from the rain.

For safety reasons, Zheng Yunsheng first explored the cave, and after making sure there was no danger inside, he called Gu Qijiao in.

When he got to the cave, Zheng Yunsheng opened the package that he had folded in his arms, tore open the paper wrapper inside, and took out the steamed buns that were still warm.

“I don’t know when the rain will stop, let’s eat some steamed buns first to fill our stomachs!” Zheng Yunsheng stuffed a multi-grain steamed bun into Gu Qijiao’s hand.

After walking for such a long time, Gu Qijiao was indeed a little hungry. She took the steamed bun from Zheng Yunsheng and said to him politely: “Thank you!”

Zheng Yunsheng didn’t say anything. He took out a steamed bun and deliberately turned his body at a 45-degree angle.

The originally bleeding wound just appeared in Gu Qijiao’s sight.

Gu Qijiao, who was chewing a steamed bun, saw the bloodstains on Zheng Yunsheng’s back, which stretched from the wound to his waist. She looked at Zheng Yunsheng with complicated eyes.

This hurts!

But this man seemed to be deliberately trying to get her attention.

Forget about him. I have already reminded him not to take off his clothes. It’s his own fault that he is in this state now, isn’t it?

Although she thought so in her heart, Gu Qijiao’s feet stood up disobediently. She walked behind Zheng Yunsheng, pulled a piece of grass leaf from the ground, and wiped the blood on his back.

Zheng Yunsheng didn’t look back. He was still biting the bun in his hand, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously stretched into a long arc.

Because it was raining, Gu Qijiao had no way to go out to look for herbs, so she could only pick some moss from the rocks in the cave and apply it on the wound.

Then he tore off a long strip of cloth from the bundle and intended to bandage Zheng Yunsheng’s wound.

She held the strip of cloth in her hand and wrapped it around his chest.

Just as her right hand was about to retract, Zheng Yunsheng deliberately moved his body and gently rubbed Gu Qijiao’s hand.

Gu Qijiao’s mind suddenly buzzed, and she knew exactly what she had encountered.

That little broken spot.

This bastard, Gu Qijiao even suspected that he did it on purpose.

But when she looked up, she saw Zheng Yunsheng still sitting there steadily, without any reaction.

I began to tell myself in my heart that he shouldn’t be that shameless and it might just be a coincidence.

Gu Qijiao pretended to be calm as she held the strip of cloth in her hand and then tied a knot near the wound.

After bandaging the wound, Gu Qijiao prepared to pick up the steamed bun that she had placed on the paper bag and continue eating.

When she thought about the fact that her hand had just touched Zheng Yunsheng, she felt a little disgusted. She stood up and ran to the cave entrance, washing her hands with the rain water flowing down the rocks.

After rubbing her hands repeatedly, Gu Qijiao turned around and returned to the cave.

But as soon as she turned around, her steps stopped.

A large black snake with its tongue sticking out suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, less than half a meter away from Gu Qijiao’s feet.

Oh my god…what a big plate, oh no, what a big snake.

If this is made into braised snake pieces, the kids next door will cry with greed.

Gu Qijiao is not afraid of snakes. Her mother is an expert at catching snakes. When summer comes, the family often relies on this little cutie to improve the food!

Under the influence of Xie Jinxiang, Gu Qijiao also learned basic snake catching skills.

Although the snake’s body felt cold, soft and uncomfortable to touch, it tasted delicious. After catching it a few times, Gu Qijiao was no longer afraid of it.

Darling, I’m coming to catch you.

Although Gu Qijiao hasn’t caught snakes for many years, she still remembers their habits clearly and knows the steps to catch them.

When catching a snake, you need to identify the position of the snake’s head, quickly press down the snake’s head with your palm, and use your other hand to gently pinch the snake’s neck so that the snake cannot turn around and bite your limbs.

Of course, if the snake is shorter, you can also grab the snake’s tail first, hold the snake’s tail upside down and then throw the snake into the air and spin it in circles to knock it unconscious and tame it.

The snake that appeared at the entrance of the cave was not very poisonous, and it was relatively long, with its head close to Gu Qijiao.

She decided to just grab the snake’s head.

In order not to scare the snake, Gu Qijiao didn’t dare to move too big. This kind of snake is very timid and will definitely run away once frightened.

Just as Gu Qijiao slowly moved towards the snake.

Zheng Yunsheng in the cave suddenly roared, dropped the steamed bun in his hand, jumped in front of Gu Qijiao, and kicked the snake away with a flying kick.

The snake was kicked into the thorns outside, where it hung on the thorns and trembled for a moment, then twisted its body and fled away.

Gu Qijiao stared blankly at the direction where the snake fled, her eyes full of resentment. Her braised meal was kicked away by Zheng Yunsheng.

Zheng Yunsheng, the instigator of the spoiled braised dinner, had no idea at all and hugged Gu Qijiao’s shoulders tightly to comfort her:

“Don’t be afraid, Jiaojiao, the snake has run away. It’s okay.”

“How can you tell that I’m afraid of it?” Gu Qijiao said in a muffled voice.

She could feel that the man who was holding her shoulders was trembling slightly.

It was obviously himself that he was afraid of.

But even though he was afraid, he still rushed forward.
