When Jiang Zebei saw that Chen Mengtian’s fair and smooth hands were covered in dirt and were slightly red, he placed his tools on the ground.

At that moment, Chen Mengtian noticed that he had arrived, and she immediately put on a foolish smile.

“Look at these thorowax roots, they have pretty good effects for relieving heat, fevers, and regulating women’s periods.”

Originally, Jiang Zebei had a gentle smile when he listened to her talk about how the thorowax roots could relieve heat, but when he heard how it could help regulate period, the young boy became stiff, because he already knew the ways of a married man and woman in bed.

His ears immediately turned red, and with displeasure in his eyes, he cast Chen Mengtian a glance. “Don’t say that sort of thing. You’re a girl. It won’t be good if others hear you talk about that.”

Chen Mengtian originally had a foolish smile on her face, but when she heard his words, she pulled a long face.

What she said was pretty normal, right?

‘I can’t even mention periods? He’s young, but he’s such a male chauvinist.’

How were they going to live together in the future?

At that moment, Chen Mengtian could not help but worry about their life together in the future.

However, she still did not know that there were no female physicians for civilians in the country. The only female physicians in the country could be found in the palace, and they were tasked to treat the important ladies in the harem.

Those female physicians had to have clean backgrounds or be people from powerful families before they could be chosen to work in the palace.

Women had to observe the three obediences and four virtues and had to be careful of their speech and mannerisms. Even though the ladies in the village often talked about periods, just like what Chen Mengtian did, Chen Mengtian was a girl, and she was talking about periods to a boy who had just turned twelve years old, so this was not appropriate. It did not fit the mannerisms of a girl.

Even though Jiang Zebei knew the affairs between men and women, he still felt embarrassed.

That was why he rebuked her so sternly.

From this, it was clear that Jiang Zebei never intended to let Chen Mengtian become a physician.

Physicians had to appear before people and treat all sorts of illnesses.

To him, this was not something a girl should do, and there were no precedents in Cold West.

It was not that Jiang Zebei was a male chauvinist, but he was born in Cold West, and he had accepted all the rules in the country.

However, all his beliefs would be destroyed one by one by the girl beside him in the future.

The red in Jiang Zebei’s eyes slowly faded away. He brought out a small metal shovel from the linen bag on his back. The bag carried all his tools.

“Take this. Don’t use your hands to dig. You’ll damage your hands that way.”

When Chen Mengtian saw the small shovel handed to her, her eyes lit up. “This shovel looks really convenient. Why didn’t you bring it out earlier?”

Chen Mengtian might have sounded like she was grumbling, but there was delight on her face. Jiang Zebei said nothing about it.

But he thought, ‘You should have given me the chance to bring it out.’

Without a single word, Chen Mentian had started digging. If his senses were not sharp, he might not have noticed that she was longer following after him.

Jiang Zebei squatted down beside her and organized the tools that had spilled all over the ground.

Chen Mengtian worked on the medicinal herbs, and when Jiang Zebei put the tools on his back again, she had already dug out the last thorowax root.

With the small shovel, she had become much faster, and she did not hurt the roots of the medicinal herbs.

She turned around to look at the medicinal herbs beside her, and happiness showed up on her face.

She had taken the first step forward, so there was a little less distance to the final step.

She had come a little closer toward achieving her goal of returning to her original world.

When Jiang Zebei saw the happy smile on her sweet face, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he also became happy.

Since the beginning, his eyes never left Chen Mengtian.
