Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 163: Embarrassed

Talking about his injured leg, Wei Jingyuan found it incredible. The pain during those days of soaking in the medicine was truly life-threatening, the kind that made anyone wish they could die.

Fortunately, he was able to endure and get through it.

Every time he got through the pain, he could feel his injured leg becoming stronger and stronger.

Stopping his somewhat stray thoughts, Wei Jingyuan glanced at Tao Qiuyi and said, "You are my attending physician. Aren't you the one who knows best how my legs are doing?"

"Your attending physician is Elder Jiang." Tao Qiuyi rolled his eyes at him. "I've told you countless times that I'm not a doctor, I'm a pharmacist. Pharmacist, if you dare forget it again, it's you."

As he spoke, he waved his little fist in front of Wei Jingyuan.

"I dare not forget." Wei Jingyuan assured him, "You are a pharmacist. I will not make the same mistake again next time."

"That's better." He turned around and wanted to leave with satisfaction, but an accident happened at this moment. Tao Qiuyi slipped and his body fell backward uncontrollably.

Wei Jingyuan stood up to catch her, then sat down on the long bench with Tao Qiuyi sitting on his lap.

The faint fragrance of herbs filled his nose, and the soft body was held in his arms. Wei Jingyuan's heartbeat was like a drum, and he dared not move. He asked in a dry voice, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Tao Qiuyi answered casually, and suddenly looked up, just in time to meet his eyes as deep as a cold pool.

Time seemed to stand still as the two of them just stared at each other.

"Sister-in-law..." Li Zi's voice sounded with a hint of hesitation.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head and saw Li Zi and Xiao Huai standing at the door. One of them was holding a bowl and chopsticks, and the other was holding a basin with both hands. Tao Qiuyi's mind buzzed.

Tao Qiuyi suddenly jumped up from Wei Jingyuan's arms, jumped to the side, and smiled at Li Zi and Xiao Huai with pretended calmness.

It's really... embarrassing, so embarrassing.

Wei Jingyuan was also embarrassed because he didn't expect to be caught by his younger siblings. It was originally an accident, but being caught by his younger siblings seemed like something big.

Li Zi and Xiao Huai looked around awkwardly, not knowing where to put their gaze.

It was also at this time that Xiao Huai deeply realized that he and Li Zi might have ruined his elder brother and sister-in-law's good deeds.

Seeing that the brother and sister were too embarrassed to look at him, Tao Qiuyi suddenly felt less embarrassed. "Lizi, Xiaohuai, come in quickly. The noodles will get cold if you two dawdle any longer."

After saying that, Tao Qiuyi hooked his legs over the long bench and sat down.

"Oh." Li Zi and Xiao Huai hurried in without caring about the awkwardness when they heard that the noodles were going to get cold. After a busy moment, the four of them sat at the table and started eating noodles.

Of the four, Tao Qiuyi ate the least. After she finished her bowl of noodles, before she put down her chopsticks, Li Zi put down her noodles and chopsticks and reached over to take her bowl.

Tao Qiuyi quickly used chopsticks to hold down the bowl and said to Li Zi, "Don't help me fill the bowl with noodles anymore. I'm full."

"Sister-in-law, you don't eat as much as I do." Li Zi said as she collected the food.

"You're growing, so it's only natural that you eat more." Putting the chopsticks next to the bowl, Tao Qiuyi said, "Lizi, Xiaohuai, after lunch, your eldest brother and I are going out for a while."

"After you two finish your noodles and clean up the dishes, lock the kitchen, and then don't go anywhere else and study in this room."

"Okay." Li Zi and Xiao Huai responded in unison.

"Good boy." Tao Qiuyi smiled with satisfaction, stood up and walked towards the door. As she crossed the threshold, she turned back to look at Wei Jingyuan. "It's cold outside, and your legs can't stand the cold any more. Remember to wear something warm."

"Okay." Wei Jingyuan didn't look up at Tao Qiuyi, but simply responded. His voice was cold, with a slightly rising ending that carried a bewitching undertone.

Tao Qiuyi glanced at him, turned around and left without looking back.

Lizi and Xiaohuai looked at Wei Jingyuan, then at the empty door. Lizi asked curiously, "Brother, where are you and sister-in-law going?"

"Eat your noodles." Not intending to satisfy his sister's curiosity, Wei Jingyuan continued to eat his bowl of noodles. After leaving the house, Tao Qiuyi glanced around, making sure no one in the opposite house was paying attention. She lightly jumped onto the roof and took out some cornmeal from her ring and placed it on the roof.

Perhaps because he was standing high and could see far, Tao Qiuyi saw a few birds flying from a distance.

After jumping off the roof, Tao Qiuyi went straight to the toilet. As soon as he squatted down, he heard the chirping of birds.

"Qiuqiu, someone is coming, someone is coming from the mountain."

"They were dressed strangely and had guns in their hands, like they were looking for something."

"They also injured a monkey and caused a lot of blood to flow."

"The monkey is so pitiful. It didn't offend those people, but they wanted to kill the monkey."

Tao Qiuyi finished his work and quickly walked out of the toilet. He looked up at the bird standing on the roof, turned around, crossed the courtyard wall, and walked towards the vegetable patch in front.

Walking along the ridge to the center of the vegetable field, Tao Qiuyi stopped and squatted, and birds flew in front of her one after another.

"Tell me clearly, what happened in the mountains these days?" Tao Qiuyi took out some rice and put it on the ground.

The birds were talking while eating rice.

"Some strangely dressed people came into the mountains, looking like they were looking for something."

"They had guns in their hands and injured a monkey that had not bothered them."

"The monkey is so pitiful. It's bleeding so much. I don't know if it will die."

The birds had just said this, but Tao Qiuyi still listened patiently. The birds said those people were dressed strangely, how strange was it, and what was strange about it?

Also, the birds said that those people were holding guns and seemed to be looking for something. What were they looking for?
After thinking for a moment, Tao Qiuyi still had no idea, so he simply asked: "Are the guns those people holding hunting rifles or rifles?"

"What's a shotgun?"

"What's a rifle?"

After hearing the bird's question, Tao Qiuyi slapped her forehead. Why had she suddenly become so foolish as to ask the birds such a question? With their intelligence, there was no way they could tell the difference between a hunting rifle and a rifle.

"Have you asked other birds to keep an eye on those people?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

"Yes, we have companions keeping an eye on those people."

"Let's report this to Qiuqiu."

"Very good, you did a great job." Tao Qiuyi's intuition told him that those people were not friendly. "You must keep a close eye on them and report their movements to me every day."

The weather is good today, and some people went to the mountains to chop wood this morning. Even more people went this afternoon. Those people have guns, so I hope I don't run into them.

"Ok."

"Ok."

"Don't worry, Qiuqiu."

How many unknown things are hidden inside? Looking up at the mountains in the distance, Tao Qiuyi's doubts grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.

"Why did those people shoot at a monkey?" Tao Qiuyi muttered to himself, as if asking the birds, or as if asking himself.

"No why?"

"The monkey just happened to be in that tree, so I didn't bother them."

"I saw that the man who shot the monkey looked very angry."
