Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Always So Worried About Me
As soon as Bai Haoxue stepped out of the small wooden cabin, it started raining heavily again.
But she did not return immediately; instead, she made her way toward the deep pool from yesterday.
There must be herbal medicine in this forest, and she needed to find some for Ji Hanyu to treat his wound quickly.
After searching for a long time, Bai Haoxue finally found a few plants of herbal medicine at the edge of a small slope.
This herbal medicine has the effect of activating blood circulation and healing wounds, which will be immensely effective for Ji Hanyu’s back injury.
Having gathered the herbs, Bai Haoxue was very happy, but going down was not as easy as going up.
The slope was about twenty meters high, and Bai Haoxue had used the surrounding small trees and grass to climb up.
Sometime, she inadvertently brushed against a sharp wild grass, slicing a cut into her delicate hand.
The increasing rain made the steep slope more slippery.
Suddenly, Bai Haoxue lost her footing and tumbled down the slope. Midway, she hastily grabbed at a nearby plant, thinking it was a small tree, but it turned out to be a thorny bush.
Her hand was pricked full of thorns, causing her to gasp in pain.
Despite that, she still held the herbal medicine tightly.
When Bai Haoxue finally made it down the slope, she was covered in mud, with numerous cuts on her hands.
Her hands were injured from both the wild grass and the thorns, with several small spikes still embedded in her palms.
Yet she seemed oblivious to the pain, looking at the herbal medicine in her hand and happily running towards the small wooden cabin.
As she passed by the deep pool again, Bai Haoxue finally took in her surroundings. Below was the deep pool, above it a small creek, surrounded by a serene and beautiful environment. Morning had truly painted a picturesque scene with clear mountains and flowing waters, filled with birdsong and the scent of flowers.
Catching sight of fish swimming in the creek, Bai Haoxue’s eyes lit up, and she hurried to catch them.
In fact, the deep pool below teemed with larger and fatter fish, but unable to swim and fearful of deep water,
Bai Haoxue had to settle for catching a few smaller fish in the creek above.
Having found both herbal medicine and food, it was a great harvest. Bai Haoxue carried the fish and the herbs back to the small cabin.
When Ji Hanyu woke up, he didn’t see Bai Haoxue and searched all around the cabin for her, but she was nowhere to be found.
Just as he was about to set out to look for her, Bai Haoxue returned, looking quite a mess and carrying a few fish.
Even though she looked a mess, with her hair unkempt and her face smudged with mud and minor cuts, her spirits were high.
She ran over with a beaming smile, seeking praise from Ji Hanyu, "Look, I caught these fish! I also found the her..." herbs.
Before she could finish speaking, Ji Hanyu pulled her into his embrace, his breath a bit ragged and his heart racing, "Bai Haoxue, you damned woman, were you trying to scare me to death?"
"Hey, why are you so agitated? There’s no bad guy here, I must have left on my own!" Bai Haoxue pushed Ji Hanyu away, "Let go of me quickly. I’m all wet and you’ll get your clothes wet too."
Ignoring her protests, Ji Hanyu assertively pulled her into the cabin and swiftly removed her wet clothes before she could even scream.
He had already wrapped his dry coat around her and adjusted it to fit snugly.
Though his face remained stern, Bai Haoxue felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Only this fool would always be so worried about her...
