Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

Chapter 84 Herbal medicine can make her look eager
After Ji Letong ate the last piece of pork head on the plate, he patted his stomach contentedly and burped.

"Tongtong, you..."

Ji Xiuping looked at himself, the most beloved little sister of the whole family, with a hesitant expression on his face.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Ji Letong looked over innocently, there were grains of rice on the corner of her mouth that hadn't been wiped clean, Ji Xiuping had no choice but to wipe her mouth clean, naturally he didn't continue the topic just now.

After a night.

Mu Daiyao, who was not too sleepy, was awakened by the sound from outside. She rubbed her eyes, put on her shoes and went out of the house to see who was knocking on the yard door early in the morning.

"Sanggong? Why are you back?"

While yawning sleepily, Mu Daiyao came to the courtyard to open the door, and found that the person standing outside the courtyard door was actually Ji Zhi.

She froze for a moment, and asked with a surprised expression.

"Well, it's not easy to hunt when it's cold, and the animals are hiding. This is the case in autumn and winter in previous years."

Ji Zhixu raised his hand to wipe the dew on his clothes. It was cold in the mountains, and after only staying for one night, there were already faint frost on his eyebrows and eyelashes.

And besides the decrease in prey, when he was sleeping in the mountains last night, for some reason, he was thinking about the little lady at home who could bicker with him and cook well.

Bright and agile, a bit more cunning than the difficult fox in the mountains, thinking about it, Ji Zhixu wanted to go home much stronger than usual.

Hearing this, Mu Daiyao tried her best to recall it, and it seemed that it was true. In the past, Ji Zhixu spent more time at home than usual in autumn and winter.

But that also means that those little bastards have a lot more chances to make trouble for themselves.

Seeing his wife standing there, wondering what she was thinking blankly, Ji Zhixu didn't say much, but went straight into the house, locked the door with his backhand, and prepared to go to the yard to clean up the prey he had brought back this time.

Not much, so I can only stay at home and eat by myself, or exchange it with the villagers for other food.

"It's on your clothes too, hurry up and change it, otherwise it's easy to catch cold and get sick if it's wet."

Only at this time did Mu Daiyao come back to her senses, and quickly followed Ji Zhixu into the house. She subconsciously reached out and patted his clothes on the back, and muttered: "Autumn and winter dew is very humid, next time you It's been a long time, I'd better pack one more clothes for you and prepare it on your body."

Ji Zhixu really didn't expect Mu Daiyao to tell him so, his eyes dimmed slightly with his back turned to her, and after a while, he replied in a deep voice: "Okay."

"Thank you, Yaoniang."

Ji Zhixu was so polite that Mu Daiyao was not used to it, so she looked at him a few more times, but just as Ji Zhixu turned around, he met her gaze that she hadn't had time to retract.

"Uh, I just want to see if there is anything else you can do for me, Mr. Xiang."

Ji Zhixu's eyes were dark, Mu Daiyao's heart jumped when he saw it, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

He raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Mu Daiyao quickly said: "But I think you don't have a husband."

Then he left in a hurry as if escaping, leaving Ji Zhixu who was standing there with slightly squinted eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until she was far away from Ji Zhixu that Mu Daiyao beat her head in frustration, and said to herself: "I must have confused myself, how could I say such a thing."

"Host, if you knock yourself out of serious injury by knocking harder, you can use the old ginseng tree you got a few days ago."

The system didn't mind the excitement and said something out of the blue, in exchange for Mu Daiyao rolling her eyes angrily.

"Hey, I forgot to ask him if he brought me any herbs when he came back this time. He only promised me the day before yesterday."

But thinking of the weird atmosphere with him just now, Mu Daiyao submissively turned around and chose to stay away from this man first.

Unexpectedly, this intentional or unintentional hiding made Mu Daiyao hide until night.

After Mu Daiyao finished washing, she was about to go back to her room when she saw Ji Zhixu coming out of the study.

"What a coincidence, my husband, ha."

Mu Daiyao stopped in her tracks, thinking that it would be too conspicuous if she walked in a different direction temporarily, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say hello to Ji Zhixu.

What is the coincidence of meeting each other in the same family?

He didn't deliberately hide from himself like she did.

Ji Zhixu raised his eyebrows nervously, seeing his wife's hands and feet don't know where to put them, he finally endured it and didn't say anything.

Turning to Mu Daiyao, he said: "Although there is no prey on the mountain this time, I picked some herbs for you. You can see which ones are useful."

"real?!"

This time Mu Daiyao's eyes lit up completely, looking at Ji Zhixu with a bit of eagerness in his eyes.

"Well, it has been placed in the house for Yaoniang, you can go and have a look later."

"Then I'll go see it now, thank you, Mr. Xiang!"

How can Mu Daiyao wait until later, she is going back to the house now.

But before she could turn around, Ji Zhixu stopped her again, "Yao Niang, there is this one for you."

Ji Zhixu took out a wooden box from his arms, handed it to Mu Daiyao, and said in a casual tone: "Yao Niang see if she likes it, if she doesn't like it, forget it."

Counting the flower he picked for himself last time, this is the second time Ji Zhixu gave her a gift.

If this had been before rebirth, Mu Daiyao would have been moved to tears by now.

But now she just lowered her eyes, took it indifferently, and didn't open it to read it, so she replied calmly: "Thank you, Mr., I like it very much."

"Say you like it without seeing what it is?"

Ji Zhixu could see the perfunctory from his wife, he asked a little funny.

"I like everything my husband gives me."

Mu Daiyao simply perfunctorily carried it through to the end, she put the wooden box into her armhole, met Ji Zhixu's gaze with blinking eyes, and said confidently.

Not the slightest bit guilty of lying.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Xiang? If not, I will go back to my room to rest. I have something to do tomorrow."

Now she is only thinking about how much silver can be exchanged for the herbs that Ji Zhixu picked for herself from the old doctor.

"No, rest early."

After a few breaths, Ji Zhixu's voice resounded lowly in the night, and no emotion could be heard.

Mu Daiyao nodded, showing no sign of nostalgia, turned around and ran away.

And when Mu Daiyao walked away, Ji Zhixu, who had been standing still, showed his left hand that had been behind his back.

Under the moonlight, the fingers of his left hand were obviously scratched by the knife, and scabs had already formed.

Ji Zhixu lowered his head and smiled wryly, his eyes fell on those scars, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he looked inexplicably lonely.
