Chapter 105 You're Here

u should have had Zongbo with you.""Do you know what I felt when I saw your uncle swinging that knife at you""You put your heart in a freezer and try it, that's how it feels, almost stopping."The man...Zongyu didn't respond. He thought Yu Lian was so rude to her that she wouldn't care about her.

Seeing that he remained silent, Fang Jinshi took the initiative to speak. She knew Zong Yu was a responsible older brother; though he said he wouldn't meddle in Zong Yulian's affairs anymore, deep down, he couldn't let go.

She only extended a helping hand out of respect for her reputation.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't bother.

"However, this method can't be used yet, I still need a few herbs."

Zong Yu finally moved, "What kind of herbs I'll go buy them."

Fang Jinshi was surprised and asked, “Did you go buy it Isn't Village Head Wang still counting on you to lead the team in digging the irrigation canal”

Zong Yu was deeply rooted and couldn't leave.

"I looked at the vast area on the mountain, with abundant vegetation in the deep mountains. It seemed that the impact of the drought was not severe, so there should be the herbs I need."

"Will you be going to dig the irrigation ditch tomorrow Can I go with you"

Zongyu instinctively wanted to say no. There were simply no roads for people to walk in the deep mountains, and there were also many poisonous insects and snakes.

Even though wild animals are less active during the day, it doesn't mean they don't exist at all.

Then Fang Jinshu said again.

"If we don't get rid of Mr. Su right away, I fear he might do even more outrageous things."

"Jade Lotus stayed by his side for fear he might die any moment."

He, a man with a blood disease, had to come to this remote and impoverished area to get married. The purpose, more or less, is related to his illness.

Fang Jinshi had read an ancient medical text that described a very sinister method for suppressing the onset of illness in patients with blood disorders.

... by absorbing the blood of special blood type girls to alleviate the pain caused by illness.

Actually, this method not only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will even worsen the blood-thirsty symptoms of those with blood diseases. In the end, those who are being drained of their blood will never have a good ending.

Last time Zong Yulian came back, she saw some ambiguous marks on her neck. She originally thought they were left by Su.

Now, the trace looked a lot like teeth marks left after skin was bitten.

Zong Yu's brows were tightly furrowed.

The place where the water source is located is extremely difficult to navigate and dangerous.

"You can't go."

Fang Jinxiu had indeed thought just now, would Zong Yu agree to let her take risks because of his sister's life.

If he agreed, she would indeed be somewhat disappointed, but she would also restrain her feelings. Afterward, when the drought passed, she would find a way to leave a large sum of money with his family as a repayment for their life-saving grace and then leave.

But this honest and naive person, with worry written all over his face, still insisted on not letting her go.

Fang Jinxiu couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. It was a mix of emotions, swelling and overwhelming.

It's really nice to feel truly cared for and cherished.

She quietly got out of bed and sat down beside Zongyu, tilting her head and smiling at him.

The man's profile was sharply defined, his body broad and solid. Just sitting beside him made Fang Jinshi feel incredibly safe.

He's oozing masculinity.

"I know it's dangerous, but you're here with me."

Zongyu turned his head in surprise, looking at her.

Fāng Jǐnxiù was smiling, and she reached out to hug his arm, saying in a half-coquettish tone, "You'll protect me, right"

"I'll follow you just like last time, and I'll let you accompany me when I collect herbs."

"Never will I leave your sight."

"Will you let me go, please"

She watched the man's face slowly flush red with each of her words, his eyes growing darker and more intense.

It was like a wild beast, ready to pounce and devour her at any moment.

But Fang Jinshi was not afraid, instead she hugged Zong Yu's arm even tighter in her embrace.

"How about it"

"Good." His voice was a low, distorted murmur.

He left in a rush, his steps disordered, fleeing like a bird.

Fang Jinxiu, seeing this, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She slept soundly and peacefully that night. Zong Yu kept his promise, changing places and waiting until she fell asleep before leaving.

He carried in a pile of firewood and chopped wood in the yard for nearly an hour.

Only after Fang Jinshu fell asleep did he gather the firewood and close her door.

The next morning, Fang Jinshu's small vegetable patch was already fully turned over, and Zong Yu had even planted the seeds.

She didn't waste a drop of the soapy water from washing dishes and vegetables over several days, using it to irrigate her vegetable patch.y."Alright, come over early tomorrow morning, and I'll give you ten catties of sausage."Su Yusheng heard Fang Jinxiu's generosity and was delighted, nodding repeatedly, "Fang Shenyi is indeed generous...
