Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 371 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (6)

Before she even saw Chu Yi, Shen Shuyi heard the roar of a wild boar.

Then she saw Chu Yi, whose arm was bleeding, fighting with a wild boar.

The wild boar already had multiple bloody wounds. The boar's charge was too powerful, and Chu Yi was knocked to the ground again. Just as the boar's sharp hooves stepped on him, the woodcutter's knife in Shen Shuyi's hand flew out and struck the boar in the eye.

With a loud roar, the cleaver caused the wild boar to shift its attack target.

When the wild boar charged at her like a madman, Shen Shuyi did not retaliate. Instead, she pretended not to know martial arts and fell into a nearby trap.

The pain Chu Yi had anticipated did not come, but he was caught off guard by this scene and saw her.

His expression changed instantly, and he grabbed the pitchfork beside him and lunged forward, stabbing it into the wild boar's neck.

With a "thud," the wild boar collapsed to the ground, its screams and roars becoming weak and powerless, and it soon became unable to move.

Chu Yi ignored the wild boar and rushed to the trap to look inside, asking, "How are you?"

"I'll pull you up."

Shen Shuyi sat up from the trap, feeling weak in her legs, and saw Chu Yi throw down a long rope made of vines.

She grabbed the long rope and tried to climb up, but she had no strength left.

"I can't climb anymore."

This was the first time Chu Yi had heard her voice; it was exceptionally soft and pleasant to listen to.

"Move aside a bit, I'll jump down and save you."

The "good" trap wasn't big, but it was a bit deep. Shen Shuyi stood close to the edge of the soil.

Chu Yi disregarded the impropriety of the distinction between men and women at this moment, and nimbly jumped down the earthen wall.

The two were face to face, extremely close, with Shen Shuyi facing his still warm chest.

The obvious height difference and the strong masculine aura created an invisible sense of oppression for her.

Shen Shuyi lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the man who squatted down facing the trap wall without saying a word. "Girl, step on my shoulders to get up."

Chu Yi is very tall, over 1.9 meters. If Shen Shuyi stepped on his shoulders, she could definitely climb up.

However, even when he's squatting, he's still very tall.

Shen Shuyi stood to the side, somewhat at a loss, and Chu Yi lowered his head a little further.

She finally bit her lip, grabbed Chu Yi's shirt from behind with both hands, and then stepped on it. Before she could even land properly, she panicked, afraid of falling, and said, "No, I can't, I'll fall...it'll hurt!"

Chu Yi dared not delay, fearing that other people might pass by and spread unpleasant rumors about them being alone together, damaging the girl's reputation.

"Sit on my neck."

Shen Shuyi hesitated for a moment, then finally placed her hand on his head, and then lifted her leg.
The moment she sat down, Chu Yi stood up and shoved her forward.

Then, in a few quick movements, he grabbed the vines hanging from the tree and climbed up. He saw the little girl sitting on the grass, catching her breath.

A hint of unease flashed across the man's resolute face, yet he was also grateful that she had risked her life to save him when they were not related.

He noticed that the little girl's hair was damp with sweat, her eyes were exceptionally bright, and her face appeared much fairer in the sunlight.

She was a girl from which family in Pear Blossom Village?
“I will never forget your great kindness, young lady. Just tell me what you want, and I will do my best to repay you.”

Shen Shuyi looked up at the man's angular face, narrow waist, long legs, and wheat-colored skin. In particular, his eyes were much sharper than those of an ordinary man. At this moment, he tried to keep his voice down as he spoke to her.

It gave her the illusion that he was a tough guy with a soft heart.

His rough, deep voice reached her ears, and Shen Shuyi quickly replied.

"I just happened to be passing by. If you insist on repaying me, then you can owe me for now. I haven't decided what I want yet."

"My dad is still picking pears, I have to hurry back."

Shen Shuyi looked at his bleeding arm again. "Your arm is injured. Do you want me to bandage it for you?" "No need. You should go back now." Chu Yi didn't want to delay her.

Shen Shuyi had no choice but to sling her basket over her shoulder and prepare to leave. However, the man took his cloth bag without saying a word and dumped all the mushrooms and wild fruits from the bag into her bamboo basket.

"This is too much, keep some for yourself."

Chu Yi quickly packed up the cloth bag. "It's getting late, you should go back soon. If you need anything, you can find me at the foot of Pear Blossom Mountain in the east of the village."

Shen Shuyi smiled, her dimples appearing on her cheeks. "Okay, your name is Chu Yi? My name is Shen Shuyi."

"Hmm." Chu Yi looked over her body to see if there were any wounds, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

……

When Shen Shuyi and Shen Liang went down the mountain to go home, they passed by several houses. Some women who had some free time were chatting around the gate while making insoles.

They even knew exactly which dog had how many puppies, let alone Shen Shuyi's divorce and return to Pear Blossom Village.

Some people just like to spread rumors and slander others. Anyway, everyone says the same thing, and it's just for novelty and excitement. Even if the village chief comes, he can't do anything about it.

They saw Shen Shuyi pass by and immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"Oh my, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Shen family? She only married into the neighboring Qingcheng Village two years ago. What brings her back?"

"You don't know? She was sent back to her parents' home by Scholar Chen yesterday!"

"I heard it's a divorce. Apparently, Chen Xiucai hasn't touched her in the two years since she got married. How much does he despise her? If it weren't for her efficient work, who would marry her with that frail body that looks like she can't have children?"

"It must be because she didn't serve him well that Scholar Chen took a mistress! Even if she gets a divorce and comes back, she won't be able to get married again."

When Shen Shuyi returned home and heard the system's report, she immediately grabbed a fire poker.

[Host, don't be angry, don't be angry]
Shen Shuyi snorted, "I'm going to tear their mouths apart."

[It's too late. Your mother, Zhuang Mei, came back from outside and heard that she had already fought with them.]
Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate opening, Shen Shuyi quickly peeked out and saw Zhuang Mei returning with her hair somewhat disheveled. Her eyes welled up with tears.

She hurried over, took the wooden basin she used to hold the wild vegetables, and said, "Mother, please sit down, I'll cook."

Zhuang Mei felt a pang of heartache when she thought of the gossipy women who spoke ill of her daughter. "The chicken soup is all ready, just cook some wild vegetables and it'll be fine."

“Okay.” Shen Shuyi washed her hands and went to the kitchen to cook, while Shulan helped her tend the fire.

Shushan and Shenliang went to deal with the rabbits and pheasants. Zhuang Mei's eyes widened when she saw the father and son processing the prey.

"Where did it come from?"

Shen Liang honestly said, "I ran right into Yi'er."

Zhuang Mei's eyes widened even more. "It really is a blessing from the Bodhisattva!"

"Eldest sister is the best!" Shushan said with pride.

Shen Shuyi chopped up the wild vegetables in the kitchen, then cracked a few wild eggs and fried them into pancakes, and then stir-fried a large plate of fresh mushrooms before serving.

There wasn't much food at home, so this meal was already quite lavish. Ordinary families don't eat meat more than a few times a year.

Shen Shuyi had made up her mind. Pear Blossom Village was surrounded by mountains, and she had good luck with koi fish, so she would live off the mountains.

After they win over Chu Yi, their whole family will move to the city. Their younger siblings are still young and need to go to school. They can start a business in the city. Once Chu Yi is brought back by the emperor, they can also do business near the capital.

Wouldn't that make life prosperous and thriving?

The family of five sat around a small table, and Shulan happily distributed the bowls and chopsticks.

Shen Liang and Zhuang Mei looked at their daughter, their voices lighter than ever before.

"It's good that Yi'er is back. From now on, our family will live a good life together."

"Mm!" Shen Shuyi nodded, served her parents a bowl of chicken soup, and a cool breeze blew in from outside the window, making the room lively and bustling.
