"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 142

 Ji Ling Xue curled her lips, rubbing her sore arm: "It's better to get rid of such a harmful thing sooner, prevent people being hurt."

Bai Mo sighed, he was addicted the medicine, he liked to research never seen before poisonous flowers and plants, others would avoid them in fear, but he saw them like treasures.

He didn't bring his medicine box, Bai Mo treated the wound on Xiao Yi Chen's forehead basically, turning around he treated Lian Xin, Lian Xin had suffered internal injuries, Bai Mo fed her a pill.

A wolf's corpse was thrown at the entrance of the cave, Ji Ling Xue walked over there, she began to skin the wolf and cut out meat, then starting a fire she roasted the meat.

Bai Mo happily sat to the side adding branches to the fire, waiting for the meat to be freshly cooked, he had heard that Ji Ling Xue was talented at cooking, sadly due to Ji Ling Xue's status, he couldn't try her skills, today this was an additional benefit.

Ji Ling Xue gave Bai Mo a skewer of wolf meat, "Don't just watch, roast it yourself."

Bai Mo took the it and followed Ji Ling Xue by placing it on the fire to roast, from time to time turning his head to look at Xiao Yi Chen who was still lying asleep on the ground behind him, a smug smile on his lips, Xiao Yi Chen wouldn't have ever imagined he would one day be beaten up by his princess right?

Knowing what Bai Mo was thinking, Ji Ling Xue said: "If you don't keep your mouth shut and say something you shouldn't..." As she spoke she raised her fist at Bai Mo, her eyes indicating: This princess wouldn't hesitate to use the same violence against you, you're a miracle doctor, this kind of small injury is nothing for your right?

Bai Mo's lips twitched, he was indeed a miracle doctor, but a doctor couldn't cure himself. What's more he saw with his own eyes, he dared to offend anyone but Ji Ling Xue.

Bai Mo raised his hand in surrender: "Princess, don't worry, this subordinate went down the mountain top to pick up wolf corpse, I don't know what happened here."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, at this moment Lian Xin woke up, uttering a painful groan she sat up slowly, "Xue...princess, are you alright?"

Ji Ling Xue patted her chest: "It's nothing, I'm fine." As she spoke she stuck the skewer of cooked wolf meat into the ground, running over to help Lian Xin up, considerately asking her if she hurt anywhere.

Lian Xin shook her head, even though her chest ached a little, when she thought about what happened before, she nervously looked to the side, but she only saw Xiao Yi Chen with a white cloth wrapped around his head laying still on the ground, "Prince...is he alright?"

Ji Ling Xue said: "It's nothing, he won't die, he needs to sleep for a while, let's eat some wolf meat first to fill our stomach, then we'll descend the mountain with Bai Mo carrying him on his back."

Lian Xin looked at Xiao Yi Chen's pale face, turning her head to look at Ji Ling Xue, "Is the prince really alright?" She had personally seen Ji Ling Xue make a hole in his head, a lot of blood flowed out, it didn't look like nothing.

Ji Ling Xue waved her hand, "He's a martial artist, his body is good, just now his crazy self, that was related to the transparent flower we destroyed."

Lian Xin nodded, her nervousness eased a little, a rumbling from her stomach, her nose smelled the fragrant roasted meat, the last ten or more days he had been eating leftover and sour food, now finally she could smell the meat she had missed for a long time, Lian Xin eyes were a little wet.

Ji Ling Xue pulled Lian Xin to sit opposite Bai Mo, the three of them ate meat, talking about common things.

Lian Xin made a living from climbing mountains to pick herbs, and had topics to speak to Bai Mo about, the two of them began telling medicinal herb stories.

Bai Mo said: "Once I climbed over a mountain to come to a village to pick herbs, that village produced an abundance of du zhong (eucommia), du zhong sounds like the name of a person, in actual fact it really was the name of a person, in the story the du zhong is actually the name of a barge hauler who lived by the riverside, he was the same as other barge haulers, because he stooped over every day to pull on the two rope, over time his waist became painful and an ailment, thus he decided to climb the mountain to pick herbs to treat himself and his comrades. 

En route he came across an old man, he asked that old man for advice, the old man was moved by his kindness and gave him a tree bark, telling him the bark can treat the symptoms of knee and waist pain.

Du Zhong looked like he gained the most precious treasure, extremely happy, after bidding the old man farewell he took that tree bark and continued up the mountain to find even more similar tree bark, when he found that tree bark, he used all his might to pick them, but he was exhausted because of this so he fell into a lake.

Later people found his body in the lake, holding the tree barks he had picked tightly in his arms, after the barge haulers ate the tree barks, their ailments disappeared. In order to commemorate Du Zhong's heroic actions, they named the bark `du zhong`."

Lian Xin said: "Amongst medicinal ingredients, there is an interesting story about the origin of fengxian flower, supposedly a long time ago, in Longhai of Fujian province there was a young lady called Feng Xian, she was slender and elegant, gentle and kind-hearted, he was in love with a boy called Jin Tong.

One day, the county magistrate's son walked past her, seeing Feng Xian was so pretty and lovely, a wicked thought arose, he approached her and assailed her with obscenities.

After being chewed out by Feng Xian for a while he left with his tail between his legs. Feng Xian knew she had probably caused a dilemma, the county magistrate's son would definitely look for trouble.

Thus she decided to escape with Jin Tong to another part of the country. Feng Xian only had a father, Jin Tong only had a mother, that night the two old and two young set out on a journey to leave their hometown.

En route Jin Tong's mother fell ill, amenorrhoea and stomach pain, there were no doctors to treat her in the wilderness, the four of them could only stop and rest.

After the county magistrate heard his son had been scolded by a village girl, he ordered his subordinates to arrest Feng Xian, seeing they were about to be caught, the helpless Feng Xian and Jin Tong left their parents, leaping into the bottomless abyss, in a show of their purity. The two old people tried their best to supress their grief, they buried Feng Xian and Jin Tong together as husband and wife.

At night the two old people laid on the graves. Feng Xian and Jin Tong visited their parents in their dreams, telling them the flowers which grew by the mountain stream can cure his mother's illness.

When they woke the next morning, they saw the mountain stream was filled with red and white flowers, the red flowers were as bright as the sunrise, the white were pure silver.

The old man picked the flowers and cooked them, after drinking it she really did recover from her illness. Later, people called those flowers fengxian flowers to commemorate her."

Ji Ling Xue rubbed her bulging stomach, burping in satisfaction, seeing Bai Mo and Lian Xin had finished telling their stories she began to look at the medicinal herbs that had been plucked, she turned her head to glance at Xiao Yi Chen lying not too far away with a bandage around his head, sighing, she turned and walked out of the cave, looking at the pitch black sky, it seems they'll have to spend the night in the mountains.

Lian Xin borrowed a needle and thread from Bai Mo, beginning to sew the new wolf fur, her hands were very nimble, in merely a quarter of an hour, a wolf blanket was completely sewn, she carefully covered Xiao Yi Chen with the blanket, then against the burning firewood she began to sew another blanket.

Maybe because she was finally at ease, she didn't have to face the perverted Yuchi Gong Ru, Ji Ling Xue sneezed, she found a place to take a little nap.

It was very warm in the cave, at times the sound of crackling firewood was heard, but she didn't dare to fall into deep sleep, in case Xiao Yi Chen woke up and in his madness wanted to kill her she would still have the time to escape.

Time passed by little by little, what she imagined didn't appear, Ji Ling Xue slept well, the next day she woke to find herself sleeping on Xiao Yi Chen's thigh, her hands were still wrapped around his arm.

Ji Ling Xue woke with a start, jumping away, looking at Xiao Yi Chen out of caution.

Xiao Yi Chen began to wake sluggishly with the bandage around his head, his gaze already returned to his lively self, he looked Ji Ling Xue up and down strangely, "What is this reaction?"

Was he poisonous, why did she react so strongly, he hadn't complained about her sleeping on his leg until it was numb.

Ji Ling Xue gave an awkward smile, she turned to find Bai Mo and Lian Xin were not in the cave, the two of them really, they left her alone to face Xiao Yi Chen's wrath, no sense of loyalty at all.

She looked embarrassingly at Xiao Yi Chen, "Prince..."

"En..." Xiao Yi Chen gave a grunt through his nose, pointing at his head, "Xue Er, what happened to this prince's head?"

Ji Ling Xue turned back, smiling: "Yesterday after prince helped Bai Mo force the poison out, you fell asleep, then half way through the night prince suddenly used a stone to hit your own head, Bai Mo and I were terrified, we couldn't stop you no matter what from hurting yourself..."

Xiao Yi Chen repeated: "This prince hit his own head?"

Ji Ling Xue nodded firmly, look at the sincerity in my eyes, I really haven't lied.

Xiao Yi Chen looked at his own hands, "Then which hand did this prince use to hit himself?"

Ji Ling Xue opened her mouth, e... Xiao Yi Chen, what are you getting at?

Ji Ling Xue closed her mouth, reaching to point at Xiao Yi Chen's right hand, Xiao Yi Chen suddenly pulled Ji Ling Xue over, holding her neck he kissed her red lips...

Ji Ling Xue silently stared at Xiao Yi Chen with wide eye.

Xiao Yi Chen released Ji Ling Xue, pinching her cheeks: "This prince dreamed yesterday I was unable to kiss princess, that's why I used a stone to hit myself, now that I've kissed you, I believe I won't harm myself again."

Ji Ling Xue: "..." How could Xiao Yi Chen believe her lie so quickly?

At the entrance of the cave, Bai Mo's ear was stuck to the wall listening to the conversation inside the cave, he covered his mouth no daring to laugh, afraid that the sharp eared and keen eyed Xiao Yi Chen would notice.

Lian Xin carried a few wild fruits to Bai Mo's side, seeing him cover his mouth trembling, she raised her hand to pat his shoulder.

She didn't expect Bai Mo to be startled, he stiffened and turned to Lian Xin, staring at her, "What are you doing?" He was about to be scared to death, luckily he had a strong heart.

Lian Xin innocently shrugged, taking out a white apple she gave it to Bai Mo, "I picked this just now, I gave it a try, it's very tasty."

Bai Mo: "..."

Xiao Yi Chen pulled Ji Ling Xue out of the cave and they just happened to see the affectionate exchange of Lian Xin giving an apple to Bai Mo.

Ji Ling Xue shrugged off Xiao Yi Chen's hand running to Lian Xin, "What fruit did you gather, I also want it." As she spoke she snatched the white apple which was offered to Bai Mo.

Bai Mo glared at Ji Ling Xue, "That's my apple."

Ji Ling Xue stuck out her tongue: "I took it first." She took a bite of it, Bai Mo's face darkened and turned to complain to Xiao Yi Chen, "Prince, you need to control her, your princess stole my apple."

Xiao Yi Chen indifferently looked at Bai Mo's aggrieved expression, pointing at his own head: "Before this prince's wound as healed, don't only think about eating."

Xiao Yi Chen: Don't think this prince doesn't know where this wound comes from.

Bai Mo gave a fawning smile, "Prince, it's a superficial wound, it'll heal soon." He handed over a black pill as he spoke, "This pill improve blood circulation it's the best thing for you."
