The Strong Wife From Peasant Family Chapter 16

Liu Zhimo felt very guilty in his heart. Not only did he not help, he had even held her back.

"I'm sorry …"

Yesterday, he was too tired and didn't have a good rest. His body couldn't take it, so he ended up getting a fever.

She opened the lid of the jar, letting the medicine cool down, then got up to call for Liu Zhimo.

As soon as she got close to Liu Zhimo, she saw his curled up body s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably and his cold words.

"Zhi Moge, wake up …"

Li Qingling shouted a few times before he could barely open his eyes, "Little … "Spirit …" He was so cold that his teeth were chattering.

She helped him to his feet and sat him against the stone wall. Without caring about the medicine, she brought him the jar and gave it to him to drink.

After Liu Zhimo drank the medicine, he laid back down. Li Qingling frowned, and moved the fire over, so that he could warm it up.

After a while, when she saw that he was still s.h.i.+vering, she started to worry. What else could she use to keep him warm since there were no quilts in this desolate mountain and wilderness?

She was so anxious that she suddenly thought of the matter of warming herself up.

Li Qingling looked at Liu Zhimo and gritted his teeth.

She ran over and pulled at Liu Zhimo's clothes. Liu Zhimo was shocked awake and asked her with a hoa.r.s.e voice what she wanted to do. She still had one hand tightly covering his clothes as she looked at him warily, as if she was a rapist.

Li Qingling blushed, then cleared his throat and told him to help warm him up.

Without waiting for him to react, he forcibly pulled his hand away, and finished his clothes in a few strokes. That speed was so fast that even Liu Zhimo couldn't stop it if he wanted to.

After ripping him apart, Li Qingling stripped himself once again, which made Liu Zhimo even more terrified.

His already red face became even more red. He turned around, not daring to look at her, "Li Qingling …" He gritted his teeth and called her full name. "Put your clothes on."

What was she trying to do? Although they were unmarried, they were also … But it can't be like this!

Li Qingling ignored him, laid down beside him, hugged him from behind, and then covered both of their clothes.

The warmth of her body spread to his, and he bashfully struggled to get her to let him go.

Her strength was already stronger than his. Moreover, he was sick and his hands and feet were weak, so he didn't have much strength left. Therefore, no matter how many times he struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Don't move..." Li Qingling shouted loudly. She felt that she was just hugging an ice cube and s.h.i.+vered from the cold. "You will marry me in the future, right?"

"Of course …"

"Then that's enough." Li Qingling patted his chest, "Go to sleep, it's good as long as you're asleep."

In her previous life, in her village, a child of his age could still bathe naked in a river. How could she have such dirty thoughts?

However, in this era, it was a bit too shocking. This was enough to scare him.

Liu Zhimo's stiff body, at the beginning, forcefully stayed awake, but it could not withstand the effects, and his eyes slowly closed up.

Sensing that his body had softened, Li Qingling knew that he had fallen asleep.

If he didn't sleep now, he might get a brain haemorrhage.

Embarra.s.sed...

Unknowingly, Li Qingling had also fallen asleep. When she opened his eyes again, she discovered that she was nestled in Liu Zhimo's embrace, and he was hugging her tightly.

Suddenly, she blushed. To be honest, she had never been so honest with a man before.

She looked up at his handsome face. Three hundred and sixty degrees without a blind spot, she gulped. If he were to become a modern star, he would definitely be a celebrity.

After thinking for a while, she finally remembered his condition. She quickly reached out to touch his forehead and then touched her own. The temperature had returned to normal.

Only then did the big stone in her heart finally drop.

However, she was at a loss again. Should she get up, or continue staying in his embrace?

If she moved, would he wake up?

After struggling for a long time, they were so conflicted that Liu Zhimo had opened his eyes. The two of them looked at each other, and then turned his eyes away with tacit understanding.

She wasn't embarra.s.sed, but she was embarra.s.sed by his actions.

After a while she cleared her throat. "How do you feel? Are you feeling better? "

Liu Zhimo acknowledged and said that he was much better.

"That's good …" Li Qingling tapped his arm, "You can let go of me now."

Only now did Liu Zhimo realise that he was hugging her tightly. Being knocked by her like this, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and immediately retracted his hand, his face becoming red again.

Seeing him like that, the awkwardness in Li Qingling's heart disappeared. She smiled, crawled up, quickly put on his clothes, and looked outside.

"I'll go get something to eat." She ran out with the jar and a wild chicken without looking back.

Once she left, Liu Zhimo heaved a huge sigh of relief. He patted his face and quickly put on his clothes.

His illness delayed his hunting. Thinking of this, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

Not long after, Li Qingling returned with a jar and some herbs. She smiled at him with a face filled with naturalness, "Fill your stomach up first, then I'll boil some medicine for you." She had to drink the medicine again to be able to relax.

Liu Zhimo raised the fire, hesitated a bit, then said: "It's already noon, do we still have time to hunt?"

Li Qingling placed the chicken into the stew, "No need, you've just recovered from your serious illness, you can't be tired, rest here for the night, tomorrow we will return." He could not go deeper into the forest. If he met fierce prey, she and Liu Zhimo had no chance of victory.

Hearing this, Liu Zhimo nodded his head, feeling extremely guilty.

She sat down beside him and patted his shoulder, telling him not to think too much.

Hearing her words, he burst into laughter. "You're younger than me!" If he was a child, then she was even more of a child.

Li Qingling raised his eyebrows, and said while straightening his neck, "I don't have any random thoughts, I will definitely grow tall in the future." Her current body was still a small bean sprout, thin and small. In order to grow taller in the future, she must work hard to earn money to eat meat.

He smiled and reached out to rub her head, nodding. "Yes, I will." However, he had to be taller than her.

Glancing at her, Li Qingling pouted. What's with this comforting tone? She was not a child.

Liu Zhimo rested his chin on his knees and looked at her deeply. He made her touch his face and asked him, "Is there anything with a face?"

He shook his head, "Xiao Ling, thank you!" Thank you for taking care of me.

Li Qingling was not the least bit ashamed as he frankly replied, "Mn, in the future, remember to treat me well, okay?" After pausing for a moment, he continued: "Liu Zhimo, let me tell you, I am a clean freak, and will not share my husband with others. Do you understand my words?"

She couldn't accept the fact that there were only three wives and four concubines here. If he really had a concubine or something, she would dump him without saying a word.

He wasn't afraid of getting sick, but she was!

He did not understand what a germaphobe was, but he understood the meaning behind her last words.

She had made a seventh mistake in her words, but he felt rather pleased when he heard her.

"Yes, you're the only one in my life." He didn't yearn for the lives of three wives and four concubines. He only wanted to be like his parents, a pair for life and for the rest of his life.

Li Qingling nodded his head in satisfaction: "I'll believe you for now!" After such a long life, who knew if he would change his mind? He had already said that oaths were the most unreliable ways to go.

Liu Zhimo did not say anything, it was better than saying it, he would definitely do it for her to see.

The two of them ate lunch and Lu Zhimo drank some medicine. Li Qingling told him to rest in the cave as she went out to take a look.

He knew he could not stop her. He could only warn her to be careful not to go too far.

She nodded and went out for an hour. Liu Zhimo was anxious and just as he was about to go out to look, she returned.

He was holding a deer and two wild rabbits in his hand. He was smiling as he walked back.

"Look, you have a good harvest."

He smiled and nodded. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he went to prepare dinner. She still wanted to go, but he wouldn't let her.

She could not refuse him, so she agreed.

After dinner, the two rested in the cave for the night. The next morning, they returned.

On the way back, she took a closer look at the wild fruits on the tree. As long as it was something edible, she would climb up the tree to pick it.

He then looked at the trap he had dug earlier. There really was a trap for the prey inside.

With this, Li Qingling laughed so hard that his teeth could barely be seen. This trip was rather fruitful, her and Liu Zhimo's basket were both filled to the brim with prey, it could sell for a lot of money.
