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

Chapter 221 Teach Him a Lesson

After parting with the boy, Tao Qiuyi ate wild fruits and headed out of the mountain. On the way, he dug herbs, picked wild fruits, and chased pheasants and rabbits.

She deliberately avoided places where large animals might appear, and her journey went smoothly and she gained a lot.

It was already evening when we went down the mountain.

As I walked, I saw a familiar figure sitting on the dirt ridge at the foot of the mountain.

"Wei Jingyuan," Tao Qiuyi called out, wanting to wave at him. However, she was holding a dead tree in one hand, a dead tree she had dragged out from the mountains to burn in the fireplace.

I couldn't wave, so I could only quicken my pace towards him.

Although they were still quite far away, Wei Jingyuan had good hearing. He didn't hear Tao Qiuyi calling his name, but he did hear the sound of the dead tree being dragged.

Turning around, he saw a small figure dragging two dead trees down the mountain. Knowing it was the person he was waiting for, Wei Jingyuan quickly stood up and strode towards her.

"Why are you here?"

"Nothing happened, did you?"

As they got closer, they asked in unison, paused for a moment, and then laughed.

"I didn't see you when I got home. Li Zi and Xiao Huai said you weren't back yet, so I came to the foot of the mountain to wait for you." Wei Jingyuan said, reaching out to take her backpack.

Tao Qiuyi didn't bother to be polite with him. He temporarily put down the two dead trees and gave him the backpack.

Seeing the basket filled with herbs and two hares and pheasants hanging outside, Wei Jingyuan smiled, put the basket on his back, and reached out to pull one of the dead trees.

"Don't." Tao Qiuyi stretched out her hand to stop him. "You can carry the backpack. I'll drag the dead tree back myself."

Wei Jingyuan said: "It's okay, maybe I can drag a dead tree!"

"Even if you can't drag a dead tree, it won't work. You can't use too much strength on your legs." Tao Qiuyi was very persistent. If he couldn't move the dead tree, he wouldn't move it.

Wei Jingyuan had no choice but to give up. She was dragging two dead trees as she walked. He couldn't walk side by side with her and could only walk beside her.

"Qiuyi, did you encounter any problems when you went into the mountains to look for herbs?" Wei Jingyuan asked again. It was not that he was being serious, but he had been worried about her the whole day.

He was in a state of anxiety, as if something was about to happen. Jiang Lao caught him distracted several times and asked him what was wrong. He said that Qiu Yi had gone into the mountains to look for herbs and he was worried.

At that time, Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, but let him go back early.

"I encountered a very interesting thing." When he asked, Tao Qiuyi was willing to share it with him.

As they walked, she briefly recounted her encounter with the young man and the four masked men, including the details of her poisoning and teaching the masked deputy captain a lesson.

Because if this matter is not exposed, it will be fine. Once it is exposed, Wei Jingyuan will hear about it and will definitely know that it was her who did it.

You will have to explain it later, so it’s better to make it clear at the beginning.

Tao Qiuyi described it vividly.

Wei Jingyuan was terrified when he heard this. He had been worried about her all day. It turned out that she really had encountered something dangerous.

Tao Qiuyi felt strange not hearing Wei Jingyuan speak, so she tilted her head to look at him. He looked solemn, with a frown on his face, wondering what he was thinking.

"Wei Jingyuan." Tao Qiuyi shouted.

"Yeah." Although he was very confused, Wei Jingyuan still responded to her.

"Wei Jingyuan." He called out again, only to receive a "hmm" in response. Tao Qiuyi stopped, left the dead tree, and reached out to grab Wei Jingyuan's arm, forcing him to stop as well. "Wei Jingyuan, what are you thinking about?" Tao Qiuyi raised his voice a little, "Did you hear me calling you?"

"Yeah." Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Wei Jingyuan looked at Tao Qiuyi and replied hoarsely, "I heard it."

"Did I hear you respond to me with 'hmm hmm'?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

"I don't know how to respond." Looking at Tao Qiuyi's increasingly charming face, Wei Jingyuan smiled bitterly. "You encountered such a dangerous situation, but I wasn't by your side. I felt..."

"What do you think?" Tao Qiuyi interrupted him, her face darkening as she decided to teach him a lesson. "You think you're useless because you weren't there to protect me when I was in danger."

"You feel guilty and blame yourself, don't you?"

Wei Jingyuan lowered his head in silence after she said what he was thinking.

Seeing him like this, I knew he was suffering from an inferiority complex. Tao Qiu was furious. "Am I a woman who is powerless and unable to protect myself? I can only wait for you to protect me when I encounter danger?"

"You are not." Although he didn't know why she asked this, Wei Jingyuan still answered subconsciously.

"Since you know I'm not, then why are you feeling guilty? Why are you blaming yourself?" Tao Qiuyi pressed on, "If I encounter danger, I can protect myself and fight back."

"You can worry about me when I'm away, nothing else is needed."

After saying that, Tao Qiuyi shook off Wei Jingyuan's hand and turned to leave. Her wrist was tightly grasped, and a warm embrace was pressed against her back.

Tao Qiuyi blinked his eyes and hugged her outside. He was not afraid of any bad influence.

"Qiu Yi." Holding her tightly in his arms, Wei Jingyuan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry, I was mistaken."

She was right, she was smart, insightful, and had special skills, she was not an ordinary woman. But he thought she was an ordinary woman, it was his mistake, very wrong.

The slightly warm breath blew against her ears, and Tao Qiuyi's mind was a little out of her control.

In fact, when he hugged her, Tao Qiuyi's anger had mostly dissipated. And when she heard his apology, her anger completely disappeared.

"It doesn't matter if you're distracted, just pull it back." Turning around in Wei Jingyuan's arms, Tao Qiuyi looked into his eyes. "Wei Jingyuan, I want you to remember one fact."

"I'm different from ordinary women. I won't rely on my man for everything."

"I remember." Wei Jingyuan also looked into her eyes and nodded heavily in promise.

Seeing that he had behaved well, Tao Qiuyi decided to forgive him generously for once. She stepped out of his embrace and said excitedly, "Let's go. When we get back, I'll show you the spoils I captured today."

After saying this, Tao Qiuyi bent down and grabbed the branch of the dead tree.

Trophy? Wei Jingyuan had a bad feeling in his heart. Considering that she had just described the danger as an interesting encounter.

He felt that this trophy must be no ordinary thing.

"Okay." Suppressing the urge to ask, Wei Jingyuan replied, "Okay," and then said, "Qiu Yi, I also hope you can remember that no matter what danger you encounter, you must protect yourself first."

"In my heart, no one is more important than you."

Before he could lift the dead tree, Tao Qiuyi was stunned when he heard his words. Then, a surge of joy surged in his heart, and he let go of his hand and stood up.

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi threw herself into Wei Jingyuan's arms.

In my heart, no one is more important than you. She likes this sentence very much.
