Disfigured That night, Bai Ruozhu really did prepare the medicine, placing it on the windowsill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put it into a small clay pot to keep it warm and immersed the covered pot in hot water for insulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was a little restless, even somewhat anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made an excuse to herself: if he didn’t come soon, the medicine would cool off and its efficacy would be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She certainly didn’t want to run out in the middle of the night to warm up the medicine for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone in the Bai family had gone to bed, there came a soft knock at Bai Ruozhu’s rear window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing that he would knock over the medicine pot, Bai Ruozhu quietly went over and opened the window for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dim light, Jiang Yichun’s body was shimmering with stardust, his gaze upon her glittering, as if he outshined even the stars above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s heart involuntarily began to race, and she even forgot to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun also gazed deeply at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t understood his own feelings in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these years, he had been busy practicing martial arts, later serving the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been constantly under stress and didn’t have the time or the inclination to like anyone, let alone care for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know when he began taking note of Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was when they first met and he thought she was cunning, or maybe it started when he heard from Li Shunsheng that she was a widow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t thought about his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just found himself wanting to jest with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when she was in need, he went to help, jesting nevertheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she honestly think he cared about dried fish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His master was the only one he could gift things to, and his master despised the smell of fish; he didn’t need dried fish to give as gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, when Bai Ruozhu suspected that gratitude constituted the bulk of his feelings for her, he was clear in his heart that this sentiment had existed for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why didn’t he jest with other women?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how to face his own feelings until he had a life-and-death experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he truly understand what he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the woman he desired, his eyes softer than the moonlight, she looked at him rather blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him feel both amused and pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found delight in her rare, silly moments, so different from her usual shrewdness and cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What pleased him even more was that she was also looking at him, unintentionally revealing her inner emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist, he reached out towards her cheek, but Bai Ruozhu blinked and turned towards the window, pretending to not notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said softly, “Hurry up and take your medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you want to detoxify?”Jiang Yichun’s hand hung in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person within his arm’s reach had moved away, causing his heart to ache slightly, a bitter smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved into the room to fetch the bowl of medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how carefully it was prepared and that it was still warm, he felt a wave of warmth in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was just stubbornly tender-hearted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drank the medicine in one go, and not wanting to push his luck, he sat down to meditate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detoxification medicine is different from regular decoctions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The detoxification process often involves fighting poison with poison, which requires proper meditative rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failure to do so can affect one’s inner strength, and even result in internal injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu also found a chair to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng was already asleep, and Jiang Yichun was meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room suddenly fell silent, making her feel a little uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a good while, Jiang Yichun exhaled deeply and opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve done well with the medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your medical skills are better than mine.” Jiang Yichun then got up from the ground, looking like the poison had completely left his system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu loved hearing such compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over with a hint of a smile and said, “Let me check your wound.” He was always on the go without a break, she was genuinely worried that he would aggravate his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun didn’t move, a smile spread across his face again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Bai Ruozhu’s attention was absorbed by the wound on his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she would have been again bewitched by his enchanting smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully pulled up his sleeve, quickly revealing the wound that was clumsily bandaged with some bai bu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that he had dressed it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gave him a sideways glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not believe that he could not find a doctor to dress his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a mess he had made!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was his obsession with cleanliness acting up again to reject others from touching him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly unwrapped the bai bu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were some blood clots sticking to the cloth, making it difficult to peel off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pondered for a moment, turned around to fetch a medicine bottle, and said to him, “This might hurt a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just make sure you don’t make any noise.”Jiang Yichun’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she think he was a delicate young lady who would yelp at the slightest pain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a bit dissatisfied, he nodded seriously, clenching his teeth tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took out some purified alcohol and applied some on her homemade sterilized cotton swab to cleanse the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s eyes deepened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was indeed present, but he could bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This way, your wound won’t fester,” Bai Ruozhu explained as she carefully unwrapped the bai bu and examined his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like Jiang Yichun had a good constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wound was healing better than Bai Ruozhu had expected, and it hadn’t broken open as she had worried it might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She disinfected his wound meticulously, applying some good quality healing ointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then found some clean cotton cloths and bandaged the wound up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started to contemplate how to get someone to make some gauze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, cotton cloth was denser than gauze and not as breathable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a few days, you won’t need to bandage it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sutures will come off on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll prepare some scar-reducing and blood-invigorating ointment for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apply it regularly and it’ll help you heal faster.” Bai Ruozhu spoke, her brows slightly furrowed, “Only…”Seeing her unable to continue, Jiang Yichun wore a slight smile on his face, saying, “Only that I probably won’t be able to lift heavy items with this arm, I might not be able to use the sword either, right?”Bai Ruozhu gasped, how could she forget that he also knew medical skills and was well aware of his own condition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only nod helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, I still have my left hand, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m pretty good with my left-handed sword too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, being able to save this arm, I’m already lucky.” Jiang Yichun said, laughing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not realized that he had been laughing more in the past few days than he had done in many years, even though his situation was rather precarious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There might be a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we find the right medicinal materials in the future, I’ll try to help you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it won’t affect your daily activities.” Bai Ruozhu, not knowing how to comfort people, could only say so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun flipped his hair back nonchalantly, saying, “Do you think I will be dejected about this?”Bai Ruozhu wanted to say that he was acting rather smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she noticed the wound on his forehead exposed by his flicked-back hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mentally admonished herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she remember that he had sustained a knife wound on his forehead that day, which probably caused his mask to fall off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t respond to his words, instead, she reached out to push away his slightly messy hair, revealing the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun tried to shy away uncomfortably, shielding himself with his hand saying, “Don’t look, I’m disfigured.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1361,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","5ce23880fa7f2c6510d5ce90e4f34fd0913636899e4ea37aeaee551e5352b4da","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-265","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-263",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
