Zhao Jincheng looked at Ni'er's aggrieved eyes and her slowly lowered head, knowing that his words just now were a bit harsh, but if he didn't say it more harshly, she would definitely do the same next time.

But looking at Ni'er's red eyes, he couldn't say the rest. He opened his mouth, took back the idea of ​​scolding his little disciple, and replaced it with comfort.

His tone was much softer. No matter what, it was his fault for making his little disciple feel so wronged. He should apologize first. "My tone was not good just now and scared you. Master was wrong. I will never speak to you like that again."

Nier looked up at her master. No one had ever apologized to her as seriously as her master.

Grandma's family basically never apologized. They relied on the fact that they were adults and elders, and thought that whatever they did was right. Even if it was wrong, they had to say it was right, and the children were always the ones who were wrong.

If the children in the family made a mistake together, Fugui and Manguan were never punished, it was always the girls who were punished.

On the other hand, when I met other people who apologized, they didn't do it with all their heart or seriousness, and were very perfunctory.

How could the master be so good? He never acted like an adult or a master. When he made a mistake he would sincerely apologize and treat everyone equally.

In the future, I will also learn to treat others like my master.

Seeing that Ni'er was no longer as aggrieved as before, Zhao Jincheng knew that his apology had worked, and he felt a little relieved.

But it was impossible for her to stay here. Her eyes were bright in the morning, but now they were droopy. She was pretending to be energetic by raising her eyebrows. How could she be allowed to work?

"An apology is an apology, but it doesn't mean you can work here. Go back and have a rest. Be obedient."

Ni'er would never leave. She pulled Zhao Jincheng's sleeve and started shaking it left and right.

"Master~Master~Master~"

"Don't chase me away. Let's work together. Let's finish the work early and rest early. I know Master loves me, but I love Master too. I can't bear to see you so tired alone. How can I sleep?"

After hearing what Ni'er said, Zhao Jincheng was shaken. It was true that his young disciple was very considerate of others, so it was very likely that he couldn't sleep.

Forget it, then let her stay here. I'm sleepy at the moment, and the two of us can talk and cheer ourselves up. Otherwise, it's easy to make mistakes while working.

The master hadn't said anything yet. Ni'er just saw the frown on his face gradually relax and she knew there was hope.

"My good master, please let me stay."

"You see, there's not a lot of work to do. We've finished it while we're talking."

"Good good."

Zhao Jincheng agreed quickly, otherwise his sleeves might be torn. He had to agree sooner or later, so it was better to do it sooner and not waste time.

"Hey hey hey~"

Ni'er showed her white teeth, which were particularly conspicuous in the dark night with few stars.

When Zhao Jincheng saw that his little apprentice was happy, he was happy too and started to get busy.

"How is the injury of that young man just now?"

Ni'er was also about to talk to her master about this matter. They really have the same thoughts.

"The injuries were pretty serious, but there were no broken bones. The arms, back and legs were all bruised and scratched, and there was blood."

Zhao Jincheng looked at the pot of boiling medicine, which contained the herbs that the young man brought back.

When I went to collect these two kinds of herbs before, it was not very difficult, but I had to walk a long way. Now the flood has not receded yet, and I don’t know how he got there or how he found them. It’s really amazing. If he didn’t really like that girl, he would never have brought her back.

Seeing that the master was listening attentively, Nier continued, "I heard him say that the place where we collected herbs was very difficult to walk to. The water was deep and dirty at first, and we couldn't see what was in it at all. We didn't dare to go down, fearing that we wouldn't be able to come back."

Ni'er felt a little sleepy and wanted to yawn, but she had to hold it in next to her master, fearing that he would chase her away again.

He lifted his heavy eyelids that were about to close, opened and closed his mouth a few times to prevent yawning, and glanced at his master from the side, but he didn't notice. That was good.

"He looked everywhere for a boat, but there was none to be found. There was only a large wooden tub, so he sat in the tub and broke off a long branch to support himself."

Ni'er's eyes were really heavy. Her master had his back to her. If she closed her eyes for a while and then opened them when she heard any noise, she probably wouldn't be able to see anything, so she closed her eyes quietly.

"When he arrived at the place where he had seen the herbs before, he found that it was also flooded. He couldn't find any herbs at all, so he had to look for another place."

But I was really about to fall asleep like this, so I rubbed my hands up and down, and patted them to get rid of as much dirt as possible, wiped them on my clothes, rubbed my eyes, blinked a few times, and opened them. My eyes looked a little empty, I really didn't have the energy to maintain the light in them.

"I didn't know where to go, and I thought that since medicinal herbs could grow here, there might be some nearby, so I went to a nearby place with higher ground to see if there would be any."

"But the terrain there is steep and very dangerous, and it is very difficult to climb. Generally, no one goes up there."

Nier suddenly perked up when she spoke of this, thinking that if it were her, she probably wouldn't have the courage to climb such a steep mountain. She had heard from an old man that only nimble goats could climb the mountain over there, and there were many human corpses and a few goat corpses at the foot of the mountain.

"He gritted his teeth and decided to go up. After all, that sister had saved him. If he accidentally fell down while picking herbs for her, it would be considered as paying off his debt to her."

"My nails were worn out and I almost fell off several times. It was hard to find a place to stand on."

When the young man told Ni'er this, she was terrified, and she still feels that way now. It was such a hot day, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"After going through so much hardship, I finally climbed up there. Sure enough, I found the herbs I needed. I confirmed it several times and found that it should be the one, so I put it in my bag."

"Looking down, the mountain seemed to be inserted straight into the ground. Just looking at it made me dizzy. It was easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to go down. He stayed there for a long time before he mustered up the courage to go down."

Ni'er thought about the scene of bandaging him just now and couldn't bear to continue. Fortunately, he came back. Those who survive a disaster will surely have good fortune in the future.

"My hands and feet were shaking. I stepped on gravel several times and slid down a long distance. I had to hold on to the mountain with my hands and use my feet to hold on to the ground. That's how I got most of the injuries on my body."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jincheng took a deep breath. That young man was simply risking his life. He must have been in so much pain walking back. He must have countless wounds on his body. He didn't know if his young apprentice had wrapped him like a dumpling.
