12 Rescue
Hearing the familiar shout, Jiang Beibei couldn't help being surprised.

"Ning Xicheng! I'm here!"

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and Ning Xicheng, who was all dressed up, looked down from the cliff.

The moment he saw Jiang Beibei who was struggling to support, the face of the man who had been showing no signs of emotion suddenly darkened.

Jiang Beibei's palm had already been bruised, and her arm was also numb.

Feeling that the vines were gradually rising, she felt relieved, and the strength in her hand also relaxed a little.

Just as she was falling, a scorching palm grabbed her wrist fiercely.

Jiang Beibei lost his strength and let Ning Xicheng pull him up.

"How do you do such a dangerous thing!" Ning Xicheng's tone was unprecedentedly anxious, "If I didn't find it, how would you climb up?"

Jiang Beibei fell to the ground, knowing she was wrong, she lowered her head and argued in a low voice, "It was just an accident."

A dark light flashed in Ning Xicheng's deep eyes, and he picked her up neatly and gently.

He didn't say another word, but carefully supported Jiang Beibei's body and walked down the mountain step by step.

Jiang Beibei lied weakly on his solid back, sniffing the faint aroma of herbs on it, inexplicably feeling relieved.

But feeling his tense muscles, she was inexplicably guilty, and whispered, "Why are you here suddenly?"

Ning Xicheng didn't turn his head, but Jiang Beibei still felt the sudden chill on his body.

"Look for yourself, what time is it?"

Jiang Beibei glanced at the sun rising in the middle, and it turned out that it was time for lunch, so she couldn't help sticking out her tongue.

"Didn't I find a particularly precious herb!" She curled her lips and argued for herself, "I've been waiting for a long time!"

Hearing her coquettish tone, Ning Xicheng couldn't help but curled his lips: "Why, you dislike me for being poor, and want you to take the risk of collecting herbs to support your family?"

Jiang Beibei quickly vetoed it: "How could it be! This medicine is good for you!"

Unexpectedly, what he heard would be such an answer, a flash of surprise flashed in Ning Xicheng's eyes, and then it turned into water-like gentleness.

Jiang Beibei didn't notice his expression, and continued to say excitedly: "Just now I killed a flower snake. It's as thick as a wrist. It's a rare item, and it can sell for a lot of money..."

Ning Xicheng carried the slender woman who barely weighed on his back, and walked down the mountain slowly along the path, with the knowledge of pharmacology gushing like a clear spring in his ears.

What he didn't even notice was that there was a gentle curve on his thin lips.

When the two arrived home, the sky was bright.

After relaxing, Jiang Beibei felt not only pain in the palms of his hands, but also tingling pain in the parts of his body where the snake had entangled him.

Ning Xicheng also saw the bruises on her rolled up sleeves, which were very glaring on her fair skin.

Noticing his worried gaze, Jiang Beibei waved her hands indifferently: "I was strangled by a snake just now, it's okay, I'll just apply some ointment!"

Ning Xicheng subconsciously took the ointment: "I'll help you..."

After a pause, Ning Xicheng seemed to realize something, and his expression was weird for a moment.

Jiang Beibei blinked inexplicably, and the ointment was suddenly thrown back.

"Call me where you can't wipe it."

After leaving this sentence, Ning Xicheng left in a hurry and got into the kitchen to prepare meals.
