The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 217 Dendrobium nobile from Chishui

Long Ziheng naturally took the horses from Li Muxia and tied them to a large tree nearby.

Seeing Li Muxia so happy, like a child, she picked a large bunch of chrysanthemums in no time.

Li Muxia held up the chrysanthemums she had picked in front of Long Ziheng and asked, "Ziheng, aren't they pretty?"

Long Ziheng looked at Li Muxia with doting eyes and said, "Beautiful."

Unable to bear their cloying gazes, Dongfang Jinxuan said, "Have you forgotten about me, shameless bastard?"

Li Muxia wasn't like these ancient people; she wouldn't be embarrassed by Dongfang Jinxuan's words. Instead, she retorted, "I just wanted to feed you, you single dog, some dog food. Eat less barbecue later."

Although it was the first time he had heard the term "single dog," Dongfang Jinxuan instantly understood its meaning.

Thinking to myself: I'm not some single dog, he's about to get engaged.

However, Dongfang Jinxuan didn't say anything more, because he was still counting on Li Muxia to make barbecue for them, and he couldn't afford to offend her now.

Li Muxia handed the flowers to Long Ziheng and then began preparing for the barbecue.

Looking at the wooden box full of ingredients, Long Ziheng really suspected that the fourth brother had come for barbecue and was a little worried that he had forgotten the most important thing.

Each of the three of them had a few meat skewers in their hands and were grilling them. Li Muxia saw that the meat skewers in her hand were almost done, so she sprinkled chili powder on them and then put one of them to Long Ziheng's mouth.

Long Ziheng naturally opened his mouth and started eating the skewers. After Long Ziheng took a bite, Li Muxia withdrew her hand and stuffed the remaining pieces of meat into her own mouth.

Long Ziheng was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Muxia to eat the same skewer of grilled meat as him. However, a sweet feeling quickly welled up in his heart.

At this moment, he no longer thought about what would happen next; he only wanted to wholeheartedly enjoy the pleasure of the moment.

Looking at the two of them, Dongfang Jinxuan shivered and exaggeratedly rubbed his arms.

Looking at him, Li Muxia teased, "What's wrong? Feeling lonely and cold?"

Dongfang Jinxuan rolled his eyes: "Yeah, it's freezing."

After saying that, the group burst into laughter.

Halfway through the barbecue, Long Ziheng gave Dongfang Jinxuan a wink. Dongfang Jinxuan instantly understood.

"Xia Mu, look at this. I heard the doctor say it's a very rare herb. Aren't you a doctor? Can you tell me what this is and what it's used for?"

As Li Muxia took the herbs from Dongfang Jinxuan, she said, "Why do you still call me Xia Mu?"

Dongfang Jinxuan: "I'm used to calling you that."

When Li Muxia saw what was in her hand clearly, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak: "Where did you find this?"

Seeing Li Muxia's surprised expression, Dongfang Jinxuan and Long Ziheng were not particularly moved. They both knew that using herbs would definitely attract Li Muxia's attention.

Dongfang Jinxuan said, "It's nearby. I passed by before and felt like I'd seen it in a book, so I picked one. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing that it was nearby, Li Muxia excitedly stood up, shoved the skewers in her hand into Long Ziheng's hand, and said, "It's nearby, take me there quickly."

Dongfang Jinxuan glanced at Long Ziheng, and Li Muxia realized that she was too excited and had forgotten about Long Ziheng's presence.

She glanced at Long Ziheng with a hint of apology.

Long Ziheng generously said while grilling skewers, "You guys go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia happily leaned down and gave Long Ziheng a quick kiss on the cheek.

Long Ziheng and Dongfang Jinxuan were both stunned, while the instigator looked at Dongfang Jinxuan anxiously and said, "What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Seeing Dongfang Jinxuan's blank expression, Li Muxia kindly pulled him up.

Watching Li Muxia and Dongfang Jinxuan walk away, Long Ziheng raised his hand and touched the spot where Li Muxia had kissed him.

Li Muxia followed Dongfang Jinxuan for about half an incense stick's time and arrived at a cliff. Li Muxia came to the edge of the cliff and looked down along the cliff face. Sure enough, about half a meter from the top of the cliff, there was a familiar plant.

Li Muxia exclaimed in surprise, "It really is Dendrobium nobile from Chishui!"

Li Muxia leaned over and lay on the edge of the cliff, reaching out to grab the dendrobium.

While protecting Li Muxia's safety, Dongfang Jinxuan absentmindedly looked back at the way they had come.

Li Muxia picked it easily, and saw that there was another one not far below, but she knew she couldn't reach it from where she was lying down, so she decided to ask Dongfang Jinxuan to pull her down to pick it.

Dongfang Jinxuan also wanted to delay Li Muxia, so he agreed to help her down.

Just as Li Muxia stepped onto a protruding rock on the cliff and picked several dendrobium orchids nearby, Dongfang Jinxuan felt that it was about time. Moreover, he was worried that Li Muxia might want to pick dendrobium orchids further away, and he wouldn't be able to stop him then.

So he urged, "Are you done picking them? I'm almost out of energy."

Li Muxia looked further away and saw a few more, but they were too far away. They didn't have the tools or protective measures, so they couldn't just pick them.

He placed the dendrobium he had picked into his sleeve and said reluctantly, "Okay, now pull me up."

Dongfang Jinxuan couldn't wait to pull the person up, but during the process, his arm accidentally scratched a sharp protruding rock on the cliff.

Instantly, Dongfang Jinxuan's hand loosened slightly due to the stinging pain, which startled Li Muxia, who quickly grabbed Dongfang Jinxuan's hands with both of hers.

"what happened?"

Dongfang Jinxuan was in so much pain that cold sweat beaded on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and managed to pull the person up.

When Li Muxia stood on the ground and looked at Dongfang Jinxuan, sure enough, blood was seeping out from the sleeve of Dongfang Jinxuan's right hand.

Li Muxia didn't have time to brush the mud off her body; she quickly stepped forward and tried to pull up Dongfang Jinxuan's sleeve to check him.

"You are hurt."

Dongfang Jinxuan didn't make a fuss. He rolled up his sleeve and said, "It's nothing, I probably just got a small cut."

Li Muxia looked at the deep cut on Dongfang Jinxuan's fair arm and felt a little guilty. If she hadn't risked picking the dendrobium, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Seeing the guilt in Li Muxia's eyes, Dongfang Jinxuan comforted her, "It's alright, it's just a small wound, it won't take long to heal."

Li Muxia knew that Dongfang Jinxuan was comforting her, and her heart warmed. Li Muxia took out the wound medicine she carried with her and bandaged Dongfang Jinxuan's wounds.

After bandaging the wound, Li Muxia carefully checked it again to make sure there were no other wounds before pulling down Dongfang Jinxuan's sleeve. However, as she did so, she caught a glimpse of a dark gray patch on the inside of Dongfang Jinxuan's arm. At first, Li Muxia thought it was dirt and tried to wipe it off with a handkerchief, but it didn't come off.
