Chapter 486 Ultimate Notes 2 13
As soon as these words were spoken, a whoosh erupted—
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over, their eyes filled with gossip.
Black Bear grinned slyly: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for so many of us to be here?"
As everyone's laughter rang out, Wu Xie's face flushed, and he couldn't help but glare at him. This guy was always looking for trouble.
Only Fatty Wang stopped Wu Xie, saying, "What are you doing, woman? He's still just a child."
Wu Xie stared at the domineering A Ning with his big eyes, looking at her with a mixture of innocence and confusion.
As Shi Ying watched, she felt her gossip-loving spirit ignite instantly, and she suddenly felt like eating sunflower seeds again.
Panzi explained, "This thing is a kind of tick. Getting bitten by it is very troublesome. It looks like your bites are quite serious, so you need to deal with it as soon as possible."
Seeing everyone's condition, Zhang Qiling took a step forward to find some grass.
He took a step and then stopped, turning back to look at Shi Ying: "I'm going to find some grass."
Shi Ying was somewhat surprised by his words. This man never spoke anywhere, but now he actually took the initiative to speak, and it sounded as if he was reporting to her.
Seeing that he hadn't moved after he finished speaking and was still staring at her, Shi Ying tentatively asked, "Do you want me to go too?"
Zhang Qiling actually nodded, but she felt he wouldn't be acting so strangely for no reason, so she guessed, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Ah."
Shi Ying saw that Wu Xie and Fatty had gone to the side to deal with the bugs, so there was no more gossip to watch. She thought, "Let's go then, let's see what he has to say." She said, "Well, let's go!"
Watching the two leave one after the other, Hei Xiazi narrowed his eyes and called out to the one walking behind, "Dumb Zhang, where are you two going?"
Upon hearing his voice, Zhang Qiling only paused slightly: "Looking for grass."
He had barely finished speaking when he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Hei Xiazi was still wondering whether he should go and take a look when Xie Yuchen, seeing his eagerness, kindly reminded him, "They have something to say to each other, so you'd better not disturb them."
"How did you know?"
"I heard it when you were watching Wu Xie having a good time."
Hei Xiazi quieted down and thought of what the mute Zhang had said about being familiar with Shi Ying.
He gritted his teeth. Could their situation be the same as his? Had this woman also targeted the mute Zhang?
One wasn't enough, so they brought another one on—was she some kind of female hooligan?

Shi Ying walked to the edge of the grass and actually bent down slightly to see what kind of grass could repel insects.
Zhang Qiling found it before her, pulled up the grass, and walked over with it in his hand.
"Did you find it?"
Zhang Qiling nodded slightly. Shi Ying, who had just touched the grass, clapped her hands before asking, "What did you want to say to me?"
"You saved me back then!" Zhang Qiling said succinctly as always.
Has he regained his memories? Or...? The plot doesn't seem to include this part about him regaining his memories; it should be related to her arrival.
However, even after regaining his memories, he remained completely unchanged, and no one could tell that he was Zhang Qiling. He truly lived up to his reputation as Zhang Qiling.
In fact, Zhang Qiling only had some fragments flash through his mind; he had not fully recovered his memories.
Shi Ying did not refute his words, but asked, "I was just a child back then, how did you recognize me?"
"I have a feeling." Zhang Qiling actually had many doubts in his heart.
I'm curious how she knew where he was at such a young age, and how she managed to run into the sanatorium alone to rescue him. Why did she rescue him? Did she know him? What was their relationship?
But in the end, he only asked one question: "Why did you save me?"
"I saved them because I wanted to, there's no reason needed." Shi Ying smiled casually, and spoke casually as well.
Zhang Qiling stared intently at her, as if confirming her words.
There was no other emotion in Shi Ying's eyes; she genuinely wanted to save him, so she did.
A scream suddenly came from the woods. It sounded like Wu Xie and Fatty were dealing with the bugs on their bodies.
Shi Ying then said, "We should go back now; we've been out for a while."
After a long silence, Zhang Qiling adjusted his hat and walked forward, saying, "Let's go back."
The two walked side by side on the way. They had been a bit far from everyone else when they came out, and it took them some time to get back.
"Hey guys, why did it take you so long to find some grass?" the fat man asked when they returned.
Zhang Qiling, of course, did not answer him. He threw the grass into the fire and sat down quietly.
Black Bear laughed and moved closer to him, but just as he put his hand on Black Bear's shoulder, Black Bear was pushed away.
He didn't mind and lowered his voice, saying, "Mute Zhang, what happened between you two before?"
Zhang Qiling glanced at him but didn't reply.
Black Bear was a little disappointed, but he also knew that a mute's mouth was hard to open; if he didn't want to talk, it would be difficult to get anything out of him.
The fat man didn't mind that Zhang Qiling didn't answer him; they were all used to the little brother's silence.
Looking at the burning grass in the fire, he smiled and said to Wu Xie, "Don't let Xiao Ge's quiet demeanor fool you, he's actually quite considerate when it matters."
Wu Xie smiled and nodded, agreeing with his praise of Xiao Ge.
Shi Ying sat down next to Aning and asked, "How are you, Sister Aning? Is your hand alright?"
"It's alright, it's all taken care of. These ticks can identify a person's blood type, and I didn't have many on me." Ah Ning paused for a moment after saying that.
He looked at Fatty and Wu Xie with a mocking gaze: "They have the most on them, so they seem to suit its taste. The others don't have any serious injuries."
The fat man looked annoyed and said with some envy, "This is when the young man's goodness comes into play. He has a natural insect-repelling constitution. Not to mention ticks, even the corpse beetle king is afraid of him."
"Shi Ying wasn't bitten either. Are the bugs afraid of you?" Wu Xie asked.
Shi Ying seemed to remember something from what he said, and took out a sachet from her pocket:
"I must have brought this. The herbs inside have insect-repelling effects, and I was also the furthest away from that tree at the time."
The fat man's eyes lit up: "Where did you buy this medicine packet? I'll go buy one too. It's insect repellent, it's practically a must-have for tomb raiding!"
"They don't sell these outside; I made them myself." Even without the medicine packet, insects dare not approach her.
"You also know about medicinal herbs?" Xie Yuchen asked.
Shi Ying twirled the sachet in her hand and said casually, "I just think about it when I have nothing else to do."
"With a hat and a medicine bag, it seems you've had a very fulfilling few years, quite the leisurely pursuits," Aning said.
She usually doesn't go on missions; she's either helping the boss manage company affairs or she's not as free as Shi Ying.
Shi Ying smiled and said, "The capable should do more work. Sister Aning is more capable than me, so she is naturally given important responsibilities. As for me, I am more suited to lying down and having fun."
"Your tasks are not simple." With so many people around, Ah Ning only said one sentence.
"Work is not what I pursue."
The others gleaned something from the few words the two exchanged.
First of all, Aning was highly valued under Jude Kao, and most tasks were entrusted to her.
Shi Ying dislikes being restrained and seems much more unrestrained, but she is also valued for her abilities. She just loves freedom more and is not easily controlled.
