Chapter 18: Taking Off Clothes to Apply Medicine

Or rather… Chi Wan was firmly grabbed by the wrist by Huo Nanchuan, who had rushed over in large strides, and pulled into his embrace. The man, due to excessive nervousness, was a little out of control with his strength.

 When he pulled Chi Wan, his arm exerted a heavy force, almost wanting to rub Chi Wan’s soft body into his own. Only in this way could he protect her airtight.

Chi Wan didn’t mind the heaviness, but rather she liked the scent of Huo Nanchuan even more. She lowered her head, pressed against the man’s rising chest, and smiled contentedly.

Especially on her waist, Huo Nanchuan’s arm was across it. The scorching breath was continuously transmitted.

 Except for the night of her initial arrival in this world, Chi Wan and Huo Nanchuan hadn’t been so close for a long time. Men all like petite, pitiful little women, to satisfy their desire to protect. She wouldn’t show Huo Nanchuan her “powerful and mighty” and “one against a hundred” side.

Wouldn’t that be even scarier than Sun Guixiang？This was Chi Wan’s quick-witted scheme. The two were pressed tightly together. Chi Wan couldn’t help but reach out and put her arms around Huo Nanchuan’s waist. Huo Nanchuan noticed her action, thinking that Chi Wan was shrinking into his arms out of fear. His originally cold and gloomy face became even more solemn.

 His pitch-black eyes were filled with anger that was so thick it couldn’t be dispersed. Huo Nanchuan was like a ferocious beast, staring fiercely at Sun Guixiang beside him.

He spoke in a low voice, “Second Aunt! What do you want to do to my wife?!” Sun Guixiang was immediately scared and dared not move. It was because of women’s natural fear of men.

 It was also because Huo Nanchuan was tall and stood there like a mountain.

 Not to mention the terrifying aura he exuded. It was as if as long as you approached him, your body would uncontrollably tremble. “I… I… I…” Sun Guixiang，who had been aggressive just a moment ago, suddenly turned pale, and even her voice couldn’t come out.

And around them. The villagers who had been watching the show, watching Sun Guixiang beat people, didn’t stand up to protect Huo’s old and weak women and children.

 But when they saw Huo Nanchuan come, they seemed to have gained confidence and kept chattering. “Nanchuan, you’re finally here, otherwise your wife would have been beaten to death…”

 “Isn’t it… such a big bamboo stick, it’s not painful to hit someone…” “Oh my, oh my, this is bullying Nanchuan’s absence, there’s no man in the family, so they just grab Nanchuan’s wife and bully her… You have to speak up for your wife…” These people’s words seemed to be speaking up for Chi Wan.

In fact, they were just wanting to see a good show.

For example, Huo Nanchuan beating up Sun Guixiang. After all, there wasn’t much entertainment in the village, and the gossip was just these family matters. Huo Nanchuan listened to those words, his face turned black, he remained silent. It was Sun Guixiang who jumped up first, scolding the people around her, “You gossiping women, stop talking nonsense!” “I didn’t… I didn’t!” “It was her!

She started it with me!” Sun Guixiang didn’t know what Chi Wan had done to her, she only felt that she had been bumped, and then her whole body felt wrong. Her legs were so weak that she couldn’t stand. Her arms were so painful that she couldn’t use any strength. Could it be… that this person knows sorcery?! It must be. It must be Chi Wan who knows sorcery, otherwise how could she have become like this! Sun Guixiang’s face was green and white. She was an ignorant person, she believed in ghosts and gods the most, so she wanted to grab Chi Wan and make things clear. However.

As Sun Guixiang took a step, her weak legs trembled with numbness, she couldn’t use any strength, and she stepped on the chicken droppings that had been left in the yard when the chickens were running around. Then her foot slipped——Bang! Ah——With a loud thud, followed by Sun Guixiang’s painful cry. She saw her fall heavily in Huo’s yard. She truly ate dirt.

This scene stunned everyone. After all, Huo Nanchuan hadn’t even made a move yet, how come Sun Guixiang fell first. It was both funny and ridiculous. More importantly, it was satisfying.

 Huo Chuchun  stared in disbelief. Zhang Yue’e almost burst out laughing, she had known Sun Guixiang for almost decades, but she had never seen her make such a fool of herself. As for the villagers around, they were even more unrestrained, some had already started laughing out loud.

Now Sun Guixiang was not only in pain, but also completely lost face. Chi Wan, who had been “fearfully” leaning against Huo Nanchuan’s embrace, had been secretly observing the situation in the yard. She had seen with her own eyes Sun Guixiang stepping on the chicken droppings and then falling in a mess. Could this also be the power of the space spirit? It was too satisfying.

Huo Nanchuan was the only one whose expression remained unchanged. His eyes were still terrifyingly cold, with a strong warning, firmly fixed on Sun Guixiang，the corner of his eye also swept over Liu Cuihua who was trying to hide.

“Second Aunt, Third Aunt, I’ll say it one last time, we’ve already split the family.” “According to what was said when we split, from now on, we and you, the two families will have nothing to do with each other!” “This is my home, you are not allowed to come any closer! And my family, if a single hair is missing, I, Huo Nanchuan, will fight you to the death!” The man’s low voice suppressed the burning anger.

For Chi Wan at this moment, and for his family all along. If it weren’t for Zhang Yue’e constantly persuading him to let things go, they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

Even more… they had dragged Chi Wan into their fear. When he rushed over from the fields, his chest felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, he had a feeling of unease.

The one he was most worried about was Chi Wan. Chi Wan was fair and delicate, her personality was also gentle and kind. How could such a city lady have ever seen a village shrew go crazy. Sure enough… he had scared his little wife. Sun Guixiang，under Huo Nanchuan’s gaze, didn’t dare to say a word, she couldn’t even stand up. It was Liu Cuihua who hurriedly walked over and pulled Sun Guixiang up.

At this time, Huo Dongzhi’s voice came from a distance. The young man shouted in the loudest voice, “Third Uncle! Third Uncle is here! Third Uncle, hurry up!”

Huo Dongzhi’s face was also full of anxiety and worry. He had been in the fields with Huo Nanchuan, and he had heard the news from the neighbor who came to report. The two of them didn’t even pick up their hoes, they immediately ran back. Huo Nanchuan went home first to check the situation, and then told Huo Dongzhi to go and invite the Third Uncle.

The village was backward and feudal, and there were still remnants of clan traditions between each big family. This Third Uncle was the oldest elder of the Huo family, and also the most powerful elder. When Huo Nanchuan split the family, it was this Third Uncle who was the witness.

As Huo Nanchuan said, it was stipulated that after the split, the two families would have nothing to do with each other. Now Sun Guixiang actually went to Huo Nanchuan’s house to make a fuss, which seriously violated the elder’s dignity. This Third Uncle had been a tough guy since he was young. Even Huo Chuchun was afraid of him. The senile old lady who was sitting there suddenly stood up.

Huo Chuchun looked dazed, holding her cane, as if she had just woken up from a dream. She kept muttering, “Where is this? I want to go home… I want to go home… It’s dark, I want to go home…” She kept calling out, while shaking and walking out. As soon as Huo Chuchun left, Sun Guixiang and Liu Cuihua also followed with green and black faces. So. This chaotic play finally ended. Chi Wan leaned against Huo Nanchuan’s shoulder, watching the three of them leave, her eyes dimmed, her thoughts complex. This old lady was much more cunning than in the original novel. In her heart, she was thinking about something. Huo Nanchuan had been silent all along, but when he saw Huo Dongzhi.

He spoke and instructed, “Xiao Dong, you send Chuchun home, then send Third Uncle home, thank Third Uncle properly.” Huo’s Third Uncle was a white-haired, immortal-like figure. Although he didn’t do anything, his willingness to make this trip was already giving Huo Nanchuan face.

Huo Nanchuan also treated him with respect as a junior. It’s just that when Huo Nanchuan dealt with these matters, he never let go of Chi Wan, the two of them were always hugging each other intimately. Even if there were many eyes around, they couldn’t affect them. Huo Dongzhi nodded immediately after hearing this, “Okay, Big Brother, I’ll do it. But the family…”

The young man’s eyes looked towards Zhang Yue’e with concern. Huo Nanchuan waved his hand, “You go quickly, there’s nothing wrong with the family.” Huo Dongzhi’s clear-cut face finally relaxed, and he helped the Third Uncle leave in a hurry. Seeing the play end. The villagers outside the yard finally left in twos and threes. “Mother, Little Chuchun, are you okay? Did they bully you?”

Huo Nanchuan couldn’t hide his worry. Zhang Yue’e quickly shook her head, “No, no, Little Chuchun and I are fine, Zhang Guixiang had just started making a fuss, and Little Wan came back.” Huo Chuchun , with her pale face, worriedly said, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law was beaten! Sister-in-law was beaten to protect me! You quickly see how she is!” Beaten?! Huo Nanchuan, whose face had just eased, suddenly became nervous again. The man loosened his arm that was around Chi Wan, his eyes anxious, he looked up and down at her repeatedly. Chi Wan was completely unharmed, only her clothes were stained with some dirt, which was rubbed off from Huo Nanchuan.

Facing Huo Nanchuan, and the excessive concern of the family, Chi Wan’s heart softened, and she said in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” She was gently shaking her head. But the man’s sharp eyes caught her slight frown and a red mark on the back of her white neck. Chi Wan’s skin was as flawless as jade, the addition of a dark mark was particularly striking. “You’re lying.

You still say you’re not hurt, you’re bleeding!” Huo Nanchuan’s brow furrowed, his voice suddenly sank. He grabbed Chi Wan’s wrist tightly, and without a word, walked towards their room. The momentum was even a little intimidating. Huo Chuchun  didn’t know why her brother suddenly got angry, she watched Chi Wan being pulled away, and was a little flustered. She wanted to follow.

But Zhang Yue’e was an experienced person, she pressed Huo Chuchun  down and comforted her, “Little Chuchun, it’s okay, your Big Brother will take care of Little Wan.” Huo Chuchun  was bewildered, she was ignorant of things between men and women. Really… will it be okay? … With a bang, the door closed. Inside the room, Huo Nanchuan’s hard words echoed.

He commanded without room for argument, “Take off your clothes, I’ll put medicine on you!” His pitch-black eyes, without blinking, stared at Chi Wan, with an oppressive aura. Huo Nanchuan was both angry and annoyed. He was angry that he was unable to protect Chi Wan, and he was angry that Chi Wan didn’t care about her own safety. It was because he came back quickly. If he had come back later, what would Chi Wan have been beaten into?

Also, when he rushed over, he had also heard Chi Wan’s pitiful cries… Now thinking back. Huo Nanchuan was still a little scared, a strong sense of unease surged up. Chi Wan was a little stunned, looking at Huo Nanchuan’s eyes, there was no fear, but a little… novelty.

These days, the Huo Nanchuan she had been in contact with was silent and gentle. He would fetch water for her, wash clothes for her, serve her white rice… He used practical actions, like a trickle of water, to be good to her. But such an angry Huo Nanchuan… It was the first time Chi Wan had seen him, so it was so novel. And… so dazzling. Because of his anger, his aura instantly rose two meters eight.

To use a phrase from a novel, it was an aura that would make people’s legs go weak. Sure enough… Chi Wan felt her legs were a little soft. And what did Huo Nanchuan just tell her to do? Right, take off her clothes! Chi Wan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately reached out to unbutton her shirt. She had long forgotten the pain in the back of her neck, but she couldn’t wait for what was going to happen next——
