Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1635: Chapter 1636: Overwhelmed by Shame and Embarrassment

Su Chengyu’s skills weren’t as good as Gong Juechen’s, nor was his body as strong. After resting for a while, when his body wasn’t aching as much, he climbed off the horse’s carcass.

He glanced at the high cliff, thinking that if he’d fallen, he would probably have died.

Thinking this, Su Chengyu lowered his head again, and after a moment, said, ”Thank you.” After pausing, ”You saved me again.”

Gong Juechen immediately scoffed, ”I must be crazy to save you!”

”I...”

Su Chengyu wanted to say something, but Gong Juechen didn’t let him speak. All he heard was Gong Juechen cursing, ”Enough, you’d better think about how to get up there. It’s so high, and we don’t have wings.”

He looked up at the sun, and Gong Juechen was even more exasperated, ”I promised my Zhizhi I’d be back by noon. Now I definitely can’t make it back, and my Zhizhi will surely worry about me... I must have been crazy to save you!”

Once again, the same sentence.

Listening to Gong Juechen’s words, Su Chengyu felt even more conflicted inside. Yet he still told Gong Juechen about his assassination attempt.

After hearing it, Gong Juechen laughed heartily and gloated, ”I told you, there’s no way I’m the only one in the world who wants to kill you. There must be others. See, isn’t this exactly what happened to you?”

Su Chengyu pursed his lips tightly, sitting there, looking up at the man laughing uproariously with hands on his hips, feeling nothing but shame.

”Chenglin, you saved me again.” Su Chengyu stated the fact.

But Gong Juechen’s face immediately turned cold, ”Now that it’s come to this, I might as well tell you, those assassins were sent by me.”

”Chenglin...” Su Chengyu felt utterly humiliated. If it were really his doing, why would he risk his life to save him?

Such a high cliff, one wrong step and they both could have fallen to their deaths.

Gong Juechen ignored Su Chengyu and instead went to pick up the scattered herbs on the ground. Although his carrying basket was still on his back, the herbs and black ganoderma had fallen to the ground.

After gathering the herbs and black ganoderma back into the basket, Gong Juechen picked up the rope that had fallen on the ground, and tried to throw one end up. But because the cliff was too high, the rope couldn’t reach the top.

After only a couple of attempts, seeing he couldn’t throw it up, he determined it was impossible to rely on the rope to go up, so Gong Juechen put the rope back into the basket.

Turning, he shouted at Su Chengyu, who was still sitting there, ”Hey, your dear brother should send someone to find you, right?”

”He’s your brother too.” Su Chengyu corrected him first, then replied, ”Brother Yi won’t leave me behind. He will definitely send someone to find me.”

Gong Juechen directly ignored Su Chengyu’s first sentence, ”That’s good, I don’t want to spend my life stuck at the bottom of this cliff with you.”

Su Chengyu was simply filled with complex emotions and didn’t say a word.

Seeing some herbs not far away, Gong Juechen ignored Su Chengyu again and ran off to gather herbs.

”Hiss.” Just as Gong Juechen was picking herbs, Su Chengyu suddenly let out a cry of pain.

Hearing the hiss, Gong Juechen immediately looked over to Su Chengyu and saw a venomous snake bite Su Chengyu before slithering away. Gong Juechen quickly ran towards Su Chengyu while firing several silver needles.

The silver needles flew towards the snake, poisoned with a deadly toxin. As soon as they hit the snake, it died immediately on the spot.

Su Chengyu’s left calf had been bitten by the snake, and without saying a word to Su Chengyu, Gong Juechen rushed over and removed Su Chengyu’s silver-white boot.

Rolling Su Chengyu’s trouser leg up, Gong Juechen lowered his head to suck out the snake’s venom for Su Chengyu.
