Deacon Jin had been unconscious for the past few days. How did he take the medicine?
If there was a pre-boiled medicine, Mu Ling 'er could have pried open his mouth and forced it down his throat. However, the problem was that there were no utensils in the cave that could be used to boil medicine. How was she going to boil it?
A trace of suspicion flashed across Deacon Jin's eyes. He looked around before his gaze finally landed on Mu Ling 'er. He was waiting to see how Mu Ling 'er would feed him the medicine.
Mu Ling 'er immediately walked to the side. In a corner not far away, there was a pile of herbs that had been freshly picked and dried. There were also some wild fruits.
Mu Ling 'er didn't dare to wander around outside every day. She usually went out once every two or three days and came back with a pile of herbs and wild fruits. The herbs were for Manager Jin, while the wild fruits were for her to satisfy her hunger. Fortunately, she didn't have a big appetite and preferred vegetarian food. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to survive after eating so many wild fruits for so many days.
As soon as Mu Ling 'er walked over, Big White Tiger immediately followed her and squatted beside the pile of herbs with Mu Ling' er. Mu Ling 'er chose carefully for a while before picking out a bunch of herbs. There were one or two of each type, and seven or eight types made a large pile.
Deacon Jin didn't notice that Big White Tiger was sticking close to Mu Ling 'er. He looked at her back and seemed to be thinking about something. Unconsciously, he bit his lip lightly. He only came back to his senses when Mu Ling 'er turned and walked towards him.
Seeing that there were so many herbs in her hands, he was really puzzled. He couldn't understand how this girl was handling these raw herbs. However, he didn't say a word and didn't bat an eyelid.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ling 'er directly handed over a large pile of herbs. "Here, these are the herbs you need to take."
Deacon Jin's hands hung by his sides as he gently clenched his fists. He asked, "How do I take them?"
"Just eat like this," Mu Ling'er said seriously.
"What's this?" Deacon Jin also became serious.
"Eat it raw. Chew it up and swallow it," Mu Ling'er replied.
Deacon Jin's serious face finally showed some expression. He sneered and said, "Mu Ling'er, you still have the mood to joke with me. You seem to be in a good mood."
Mu Ling 'er didn't like Deacon Jin's disdainful gaze. In his eyes, she seemed to be worthless. She really couldn't understand. Since Deacon Jin despised her so much, why would he pester her and not let her go?
Sincerity was also required to pester someone. Just like how she pestered Qi Brother, she was full of sincerity. She had never despised Qi Brother. As long as it was something Qi Brother said or did, she liked it all. Even if Qi Brother didn't say or do anything and just stood there, she still liked him.
If you like someone, shouldn't you like everything about him with all your heart?
What kind of liking was Deacon Jin?
The more Mu Ling'er thought about it, the more depressed she became. She coldly looked back at him and replied loudly, "Jin Zi, are you blind? Can't you see that there's no medicine furnace or fire here? Tell me, if I don't chew these medicines raw, how am I supposed to eat them? Don't tell me you want to suffer for a few hours to extract the essence before drinking them? "
Deacon Jin's expression became even more strange. Mu Ling'er continued, "These medicines are only beneficial to you. Take them or leave them!"
Mu Ling'er didn't care if Deacon Jin took them or not. She stuffed a large handful of medicinal ingredients into his arms and turned to leave.
Deacon Jin caught the medicinal ingredients with one hand and pulled Mu Ling'er's hand with the other. "Wait!"
"Can you stop being so touchy?" Mu Ling'er shook off his hand.
Deacon Jin didn't pull her again and let Mu Ling'er walk to the side. Mu Ling'er picked up little Tang Tang from the tigress' side and sat down against the wall.
Little Tang Tang was too young and spent far more time sleeping than awake. At this moment, she had already fallen asleep again. Perhaps it was because she had drunk the tigress' milk, but her complexion was particularly good. Her rosy cheeks made her look even more beautiful and delicate, making people want to kiss and pinch her.
Mu Ling'er looked at little Tang Tang, and no matter how bad her mood was, it would immediately brighten up. She couldn't help but think about how happy Tang Li would be if he knew that Sister Jing had given birth to a daughter for him. She couldn't help but think about how this little girl would look like when she grew up and how many men would adore her. She also thought about how much trouble Sister Jing would have to face in the Tang Sect in the future if she only had this daughter.
Mu Ling'er was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't know that Deacon Jin had been staring at her. His gaze was even more complicated than before.
Deacon Jin seemed to be hesitating about something. After a long time, he spoke again.
He said, "Mu Ling'er, when I was unconscious … this medicine … how did I take it?"
"I chewed it up and forced it down!" Mu Ling'er answered casually. Her attention was on little Tang Tang.
Deacon Jin obviously knew that the medicine was chewed up and forced down, but he wanted to ask who chewed it up.
Actually, this was a question that didn't need to be asked. Mu Ling'er was the only one in the cave. Other than Mu Ling'er chewing up the medicine, could it have been two tigers?
Deacon Jin looked at Mu Ling'er's calm reaction, and a trace of suspicion flashed through his eyes.
He said, "Oh," and didn't ask any more questions. He sat down opposite Mu Ling'er and leaned against the wall.
Just like that, the two of them quieted down again. Mu Ling'er looked at little Tang Tang, entranced and lost in thought. Deacon Jin was immersed in his own thoughts.
The big white tiger quietly lay down beside Deacon Jin, sniffing the herbs in Deacon Jin's hands from time to time. It seemed to like the smell of herbs very much.
After a while, Mu Ling'er inadvertently raised her head and saw that Deacon Jin hadn't taken his medicine yet. She couldn't be bothered to care about it. Anyway, this guy was already awake, so he probably wouldn't die.
"Mu Ling'er …" Deacon Jin opened his mouth, "You, you …"
Mu Ling'er looked up again and asked unhappily, "What?"
"You …" Deacon Jin avoided her gaze and asked, "You were the one who chewed up the medicine a few days ago."
Mu Ling'er's heart suddenly thumped. Only then did she realize the problem. She left and avoided Deacon Jin's questioning gaze.
"Is that so?" Deacon Jin had already spoken, so he wanted to ask clearly. He wanted Mu Ling'er to admit it herself.
Mu Ling'er still looked away and didn't answer.
"Is that so? I'm asking you a question! "Deacon Jin asked loudly.
Mu Ling'er only felt her scalp go numb. She looked at the ground beside her and wished she could just bury her head in it.
Seeing that she was so nervous, Deacon Jin didn't pursue the matter. He looked away and smiled soundlessly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. It was especially good-looking.
He took a medicinal herb and chewed it. The bitter taste immediately spread in his mouth. The more he chewed and swallowed it, the more unpleasant it felt. But he chewed it tightly and tasted it.
After chewing the herb, he said, "This medicine is bitter enough. Mu Ling'er, it's been hard on you."
Mu Ling'er looked at him abruptly, her face full of surprise. "Jin Zi, it's not me who's been hard on you. It's Big White Tiger who's been hard on you. It was the one who chewed the medicine for you. "
At this moment, Big White Tiger was lying at Deacon Jin's feet, looking up at him with a pious expression.
Deacon Jin immediately looked at Big White Tiger and saw it grinning at him, revealing a row of white canine teeth. Deacon Jin instantly froze, dumbfounded.
Mu Ling'er really couldn't understand. Wasn't Deacon Jin disgusted by this method of feeding medicine? She was trembling with fear as she waited for him to flare up. Who knew that he would actually say, "It's been hard on you."
She was a pharmacist and had to be professional. In order to protect the patient's life, she had to make the patient take the medicine no matter what method was used. But in the face of such a situation, she still felt disgusted, really disgusted.
What was Jin Zi thinking?
Mu Ling'er looked at Deacon Jin in disdain. Just as she was about to ask, Deacon Jin finally couldn't take it anymore. He got up and ran out of the cave, vomiting non-stop.
Deacon Jin had been unconscious for so long. Other than drinking water, he had taken medicine. He couldn't vomit much at all. He was about to vomit out bile.
After a while, he calmed down and walked back.
Mu Ling'er didn't dare to look at him. Although the big white tiger wasn't very clear about what had happened, it could feel its master's anger, so it also obediently crawled down.
For the next half of the day, Deacon Jin stared at Mu Ling'er coldly. Mu Ling'er braced herself and let him stare, but in the end, she couldn't take it anymore.
She glared at him and said angrily, "What are you looking at? I don't have any other way to feed you medicine! If you don't take the medicine, your life will be in danger! "
"Don't you know how to chew?" Deacon Jin suddenly asked loudly.
"Isn't it just as disgusting?" Mu Ling'er retorted loudly.
"It's not the same!" Deacon Jin roared.
Mu Ling'er didn't know if it was because she was shocked by his anger or because she was shocked by the words "it's not the same". She pursed her lips and stared at him blankly, not retorting anymore.
The two of them were silent for a long time before speaking at the same time.
"Mu Ling'er."
"Jin Zi."
Neither of them was angry or fierce. Both of them were especially calm.
"You first."
"You first."
They spoke at the same time again.
They were clearly letting the other party speak first, but they didn't give in. Hence, they bumped into each other again.
He said, "Mu Ling'er, I like you."
She said, "Jin Zi, don't like me."
Hence, the two of them fell silent.
After a long while, Mu Ling'er asked helplessly, "What do you like about me? What's so good about me? "
Deacon Jin said Coldly, "What do you like about Gu? What's so good about him? "
The two of them were still rather calm at first, but when they heard this, Mu Ling'er was furious. "What happened between me and Qi Brother has nothing to do with you! Stop talking nonsense! "
"What could happen between you and Gu?" Deacon Jin asked again.
His words made Mu Ling'er speechless. That's right, what could possibly happen between her and Qi gege? Nothing had ever happened between them …
"Jin Zi, I'll only like Qi Brother for the rest of my life. I … "
Before Mu Ling'er could finish speaking, Deacon Jin flew out of the cave. He didn't listen, but Mu Ling'er continued. Perhaps she was saying it for herself.
She said, "I won't like you. Never."
That night, Jin Zi went to hunt a bunch of game and even found a pile of firewood to start a fire.
Although he ignored Mu Ling'er, he still threw the first roasted pheasant to Mu Ling'er to eat. Mu Ling'er had been craving for it for a long time. She didn't pretend to refuse, but ate it with relish. She was really too hungry.
Coldly, Deacon Jin glanced at her. It was seventy percent heartache and thirty percent helplessness.
After Deacon Jin woke up, Mu Ling'er's food finally improved. They hid in the cave and lived day by day. Three days passed quickly. Deacon Jin didn't mention going to Wintercrow Country again. Mu Ling'er also pretended to forget to give him an answer.
Mu Ling'er hoped that reinforcements would come quickly. Deacon Jin didn't tell her that there were countless elite soldiers lying in ambush in the forest. It was very dangerous. They couldn't get out at all.
This information was conveyed by the tigers outside. He knew about it when he went hunting for the first time.
Deacon Jin was also waiting. He was waiting for Han Yunxi and the others to break through Jun Yi Xie's defense line.
However, it wasn't just Deacon Jin and Jun Yi Xie. There was another person in the forest who had been waiting for a long time …
