Jiang Xiaofan moved Pei Lin's sorted breeding boxes one by one to shady bushes, so as to avoid being exposed to the sun and prevent animals from harming the medicinal seedlings.
After finishing his work, he was about to go down the mountain and go home when he heard Pei Lin yelling about taking a bath.
Jiang Xiaofan asked: "Are you going to take a shower now? You should have lunch ready now, why don't you take a shower after eating?"
"No, I'm so sticky and uncomfortable. I can't eat without taking a shower."
Pei Lin shook her head and whispered: "Besides, I can't go back to the village like this."
Jiang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized what he was doing when his eyes swept over Pei Lin's body.
She was wearing a cool dress, and the thin fabric was almost soaked with sweat. It clung tightly to her curvy body, and the outline of the underwear underneath was outlined.
It's really awkward to return to the village like this.
Jiang Xiaofan reluctantly looked back, a little embarrassed: "There is no place to bathe in the village, so you have to go to the bathhouse in the town or make do with it on the mountain."
Pei Lin bit her lip and said, "Just wash up on the mountain, just take a shower."
Jiang Xiaofan smiled and said: "Come with me, I will take you to a good place."
Jiang Xiaofan led Pei Lin up the mountain, and soon he heard the sound of rushing water. Turning around the small forest in front, a clear stream appeared in front of him.
Jiang Xiaofan pointed to the stream and said: "This stream flows out of the mountains, and the water here is used for irrigation of medicinal fields. The water is clean and not polluted, and the water is not deep, so it is very suitable for you to take a bath."
"Well, it's pretty good. Let's wash it here."
Pei Lin looked at the stream and nodded. She fell in love with this place at first sight. The stream flowed neither fast nor slow, and there were colorful flowers on the bank, which looked full of romance.
When she turned around, she saw Jiang Xiaofan still standing nearby, raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you still doing here?"
Jiang Xiaofan's old face turned red: "Ahem, I'm going to move the remaining medicinal materials. Don't run around after you take a shower. Wait for me."
After saying that, he ran away in the direction of the medicine field.
Looking at Jiang Xiaofan's staggering back, Pei Lin burst out laughing. She walked to the stream, blushed and looked around the stream, and then slowly took off her dress after making sure that no one was there...
After running for more than 20 meters in one breath, Jiang Xiaofan slowed down. Listening to the faint sound of the stream behind him, he felt as anxious as a monkey being scratched.
In the barren mountains and ridges, a man and a woman are alone.
The more Jiang Xiaofan thought about it, the hotter the blood on his body became.
"How about... secretly going back and taking a look?"
Jiang Xiaofan had a bold idea in his mind. However, he quickly rejected it. It would be embarrassing if Pei Lin found out, and he would have to rely on her to teach him how to transplant medicinal seedlings.
"Forget it, making money is more important than taking a peek. Let's move the other breeding boxes first." After Jiang Xiaofan made up his mind, he quickly ran back to the medicine field and started arranging the medicinal seedlings.
By the time he finished moving all the breeding boxes, Pei Lin hadn't come back yet.
Jiang Xiaofan frowned. Although the creek was not far from here, wild boars often appeared in the mountains. If Pei Lin accidentally ran into her while running around...
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofan suddenly became nervous. He hurriedly ran towards the creek, and the original ten-minute journey took less than five minutes.
"Sister Pei? Sister Pei, are you there?" Jiang Xiaofan stopped not far from the stream and shouted several times towards the stream. No one responded to him except the sound of running water.
Jiang Xiaofan closed his eyes and sensed it, and sure enough he didn't notice Pei Lin's presence. He opened his eyes suddenly, and his heart slowly sank.
"If you're not here, where can you go?"
Jiang Xiaofan forced himself to calm down and ran to the stream to look for Pei Lin. On the bank, he saw a series of wet footprints disappearing along the path into the woods up the mountain.
Jiang Xiaofan followed the footprints and ran up the mountain. Finally, the footprints disappeared at the Black Dragon Pond. There were several wild medicinal plants scattered around the pond, including two calamus trees growing by the water, with fresh soil still attached to their roots.
"Pei Lin came here to collect medicine?"
Jiang Xiaofan's eyes fell on the Black Dragon Beach. The calm water had no ripples, but it had an oppressive feeling.
"I want to go down and take a look."
Jiang Xiaofan gritted his teeth, took off his clothes and jumped directly into the Black Dragon Pond. The cold water made him shiver.
Although the temperature on Longtou Mountain is low, the water in this pool is still a bit too cold. Jiang Xiaofan activated the spiritual energy in his lower abdomen, and a sense of warmth emanated from his body, offsetting the chill from the Black Dragon Pool.
"Where are the people?"
Jiang Xiaofan squinted his eyes and looked around. There was no trace of Pei Lin in the dark water. He dived down without saying a word, and suddenly felt heavy pressure coming from the water, and the temperature in the water became lower as he dived deeper.
"Hey, is there a whirlpool?"
Jiang Xiaofan suddenly felt a suction force coming from the dark bottom of the pool below. If Pei Lin fell in, she would probably be sucked down.
Jiang Xiaofan hurriedly turned away the water and continued diving, and soon he saw Pei Lin's figure.
She floated quietly in the pond, with a wound on her calf that was oozing blood.
"injured?"
Jiang Xiaofan quickly hugged Pei Lin and swam to the water. At this moment, a black shadow rushed up from the bottom of the pool. Jiang Xiaofan was so frightened that he quickly rolled away. He immediately looked towards the black shadow and found that it was a big fish with long arms.
"How dare you tease me!"
Jiang Xiaofan became so angry that he rushed forward and grabbed Heiyu in his hand. Heiyu struggled violently, and the huge force almost made Jiang Xiaofan lose his hand.
Jiang Xiaofan hurriedly floated up. Before leaving, he looked back and found that there seemed to be a huge crack at the bottom of the pool, and the fish in his hand came out of the crack.
"Is the Black Dragon Pond connected to the underground river?" Jiang Xiaofan didn't have time to check, so he came out of the water with Pei Lin in his arms.
Jiang Xiaofan checked and found that Pei Lin had just choked on water and was unconscious. He quickly made Pei Lin lie flat on the ground, folded his hands and pressed her chest hard.
After pressing for more than a dozen times, a stream of water arrows came out of Pei Lin's mouth, and then she woke up faintly.
Jiang Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Pei, are you awake? How do you feel?"
Pei Lin reacted for a while and said weakly: "It's much better. I'm fine."
Jiang Xiaofan frowned and asked, "Why did you come to Black Dragon Pond?"
"After I took a bath, I saw a few wild medicinal plants. I walked and picked them and came to the Black Dragon Pond. I was just about to pick calamus, but I was bitten by a water snake and fell in... ah!"
At this point, Pei Lin screamed in pain and subconsciously covered her bitten calf. Jiang Xiaofan looked over and saw blood oozing from a small wound on her white, tender and slender calf.
"Sister Pei, let me take a look." Jiang Xiaofan held Pei Lin's calf and carefully inspected the water snake bite wound.
