On the mountain, the forest was lush and the terrain was rugged. There were many large beasts lurking in the depths.
In the past, when the living conditions were poor, the villagers would group up to hunt in the mountains. Later on, when their life was better, they no longer set foot into the depths of the mountain. Instead, they only came to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that Qin Xi was about to enter the forest, Han Shi quickly pulled Qin Xi and said in a low voice, "Wifey, you can't go in. Grandpa said that there are big worms inside! Big worms that can eat people!"
Qin Xi knew that Han Shi was stubborn. Without a good reason to convince him, it would probably be difficult for her to enter the forest today.
She thought for a moment and said, "Han Shi, do you want Grandpa to walk without a walking stick? And Mom, her back hurts from time to time. Do you want her to get better?"
"Yes!" Han Shi nodded heavily.
"Let me tell you, there are herbs inside to treat Grandpa and Mom. Let's go in and pick the herbs to treat them, okay?"
Han Shi had deep feelings for his grandfather and mother. Although he only had the intelligence of a five-year-old, he knew a lot and was very smart.
Han Shi was a little conflicted. "Will Grandpa and Mom recover as long as we bring the herbs back?"
"Of course. After I treat Grandpa and Mom, I'll treat you. At that time, you'll be like a normal person, okay?"
Previously, she had used the Mystic Medical Technique to figure out what that black fog on Han Shi's body was about and found that the reason why Han Shi had become like this was actually man-made. However, Han Shi had completely forgotten about it. Qin Xi could only treat him before finding the culprit.
"Normal person?"
Han Shi's big and dark eyes lit up. "Does that mean I can have a baby with you when I become a normal person?"
Qin Xi almost choked to death. Her face turned slightly red and she stammered, "Logically speaking… yes, but…"
"Then let's go! Let's go make a baby!" Han Shi pulled her into the forest.
"Hey, hey, wait, wait."
Qin Xi's face suddenly turned red. Although her husband was a fool, he had a strikingly handsome face. She had no experience in dating or romantic relationships for that matter. Her heart skipped a beat as she was pulled into the forest by a man. She panicked and said, "Tell me, how are you going to have a baby with me?"
Han Shi's expression was extremely serious as he said, "I know. If we take off our clothes and sleep together, We'll have a baby!"
Pfft…
Seeing how serious he was, Qin Xi couldn't help but laugh. "Who told you that we'll have a baby like this?"
"I…"
An image flashed across Han Shi's mind, but it went too fast and disappeared in an instant that he couldn't catch it.
He scratched his head. "I don't remember!"
Qin Xi held back her laughter and pulled him into the forest. "Alright, let's not talk about this. It's getting late. Let's go in and find some herbs!"
"Oh, okay!"
Qin Xi's current mystic medical technique was only at the first level. Although it was a little difficult to deal with a large ferocious beast, it was by no means impossible. At most, it would take some effort.
Therefore, as soon as the two of them entered the forest, they went straight to the deepest of it.
Han Shi had never gone so deep into the forest. From time to time, he would look around and touch things. He was very interested in the environment here and everything was new to him.
Qin Xi, on the other hand, lowered her head and dug for herbs along the way. Almost no one journeyed across this place, so there were many common herbs on the ground. She collected a little bit of each.
"Huh, what's this?"
Han Shi saw something that looked like a bird's nest on the tree. Just as he was about to reach out, Qin Xi suddenly shouted from behind, "Don't move!"
Then, she flew over like an arrow.
Han Shi did not know what happened. He only felt a fragrant breeze and a heavy object on his body. He was caught off guard and staggered and fell.
As Qin Xi flew at Han Shi, she threw the small shovel in her hand. On the branch, an extremely bright green snake was instantly split into two.
"Phew… That was close!"
Seeing that the danger was gone, Qin Xi relaxed. She subconsciously looked at Han Shi, who was already scared silly, and patted his handsome face worriedly. "Are you alright?"
It was also at this moment that Qin Xi realized that she was riding on Han Shi. Her face immediately turned red and she got off him awkwardly.
Although he was her husband and she could ride him for all she wanted…
However, knowing that her husband was a man with a child's intelligence, all her desires were instantly gone. Moreover, she only wanted to become stronger now. At least, she wanted to be stronger than in her previous life where she was hunted down and killed.
"Huh? Are you scared silly?" Seeing that he still couldn't get up, Qin Xi teased.
Han Shi was in trance. A blurry memory flashed across his mind, but he could not quite catch it. What he felt was that the scene of Qin Xi riding on him was like a deja vu. He tried his best to recall it, but the back of his head instantly hurt whenever he used his brain to think.
"Are you really scared silly?" Qin Xi waved her hand in front of his eyes worriedly.
Han Shi held the back of his head and pouted. "Wifey, my head hurts!"
"Huh? Let me see?"
Qin Xi touched his forehead and took his pulse. She asked solemnly, "Han Shi, tell me, who hit you on the head? And your head was hit more than once."
When she woke up the first day, she knew that Han Shi's mental retardation was not innate but man-made. The injury on the back of his head had been there for at least fifteen years.
In other words, Han Shi was only six years old at that time when he was hit on the head.
Who did it?
Who was so crazy as to do this to a child?
Qin Xi gritted her teeth. She wished she could go and settle the score with the culprit now and let him or her have a taste of what it felt like to be a fool for more than ten years.
Seeing that Qin Xi's expression was a little angry, Han Shi was a little nervous. He carefully tugged at Qin Xi's pants. "Wifey, did you fall and hurt yourself? Where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."
Qin Xi sighed. She reached out and pulled him up from the ground. She patted the dust and grass on his body and said, "I'm fine. Let's continue!"
"Oh!"
This time, Han Shi followed behind Qin Xi obediently like a golden retriever, helping her pick herbs and carry the basket. The two of them walked deeper and deeper until they heard the sound of a wild boar not far away.
"Wifey, there's a boar!"
Han Shi's ears perked up and his eyes lit up. He took out a rusty machete and protected Qin Xi behind him.
Because his ancestors were all hunters, Han Shi was very interested in hunting. When he was young, he often heard his grandfather talk about hunting and admired him very much.
However, after Han Shi's father died of an accident while going out to hunt, his grandfather never mentioned hunting again.
Han Shi had been very sensitive since he was young. He knew that his grandfather would be in a bad mood whenever he mentioned hunting, so he brought it up.
However, deep down inside him, the dream of being a hunter never faded.
Looking at the man in front of her, Qin Xi was slightly stunned and felt sweet inside.
She recalled the days when she was constantly on the run in her previous life. Other than her parents who could stand in front of her in times of danger, this was the only time when a man stood in front of her to protect her without holding back.
