The Valiant Farmgirl’s Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

214 Poisonous Locusts

Knowing that she had caused Song Que to worry, Qin Xiaoyao smiled and did not move.

Song Que only released her after a long while.

When he saw the woman’s sweet smile, the man’s face darkened.

“You’re still laughing!” he reprimanded.

“I’m just happy!” Qin Xiaoyao said coyly.

She even shook her shoulders playfully.

This action made the man’s anger vanish instantly.

“You’re still happy after getting all these wounds?” The man touched the small wound on Qin Xiaoyao’s forehead.

Qin Xiaoyao’s expression indicated she was thoroughly enjoying the attention.

“What’s the big deal about this? During the apocalypse, whenever I got wounded in action, it was always more serious than this!”

“I’m just happy that Hubby is worried about me. Hehe…” As Qin Xiaoyao said that, she buried her head into Song Que’s arms with a delighted look.

Song Que was helpless and could only reach out to hug his wife.

At the same time, he felt a sense of heartache.

He had never experienced the apocalypse. However, it didn’t stop him from imagining.

Just a locust plague was able to leave such a huge psychological trauma on him.

He could only say that his wife was really stronger than him.

Qin Xiaoyao was elated and stayed in Song Que’s arms for a while longer before she took the initiative to pull away.

“I almost forgot. I came back to get the first aid box.”

“There are a few people who are quite badly injured. We need to take some medicine and help them apply it,” she said.

Song Que grabbed Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.

“Apply it on yourself first,” he said.

She herself was injured, yet she was thinking of others.

Qin Xiaoyao simply laughed.

She wanted to say that it was just a small injury and that it was no big deal.

However, when she saw that her husband was so concerned about her, she changed her mind.

“Then you help me apply the medicine,” she said.

“Mm-hmm,” Song Que answered.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up with joy, and she sat down obediently at the side.

Song Que, on the other hand, went to retrieve the first aid box.

Then, he started to cleanse Qin Xiaoyao’s wounds with medicinal alcohol.

After he was done, he gently applied some medicine to her external injuries.

When Qin Xiaoyao saw her husband’s serious expression and looks of heartache flashing across his eyes occasionally, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was brimming with happiness.

At this moment, she felt that even if she were to die from the pain, it would be worth it if she could have her husband take care of her.

After a while, Song Que finally finished treating the wounds on Qin Xiaoyao’s forehead and arms.

Just as Qin Xiaoyao thought that the sweet torture was about to end, Song Que spoke again.

“Take off your clothes. Let me check to see if there are any more injuries on your body,” he instructed.

Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.

She looked at her husband’s serious face. He didn’t seem to be teasing her.

She quickly cleared her throat.

“Ahem… I really don’t have any other injuries! My clothes cover me very well, and the locusts are unable to bite me!” She quickly got up and extended all her limbs for her husband to verify.

Qin Xiaoyao was a woman without a strong will.

There were still so many people waiting for her in the hall. At this moment, she didn’t want to be…

Song Que saw Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes darting around and immediately guessed what she was thinking.

A sense of shame and anger welled up in his heart.

At this point, this woman was still thinking about such nonsense.

“Go on. Come back at once after you deliver the first aid box.” Finally, Song Que waved his hand at Qin Xiaoyao in frustration.

A look of disappointment flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.

However, she quickly recovered.

“Alright! I’ll be back soon!” she said with a smile.

Then, she packed up the contents of the first aid box on the table.

After that, she picked up the first aid box and prepared to leave.

The moment she lifted her foot, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly stopped and looked at Song Que, who was not far away.

Then, she quickly dashed to Song Que’s side, and before Song Que could react, she planted a big kiss on his face.

Thereafter, she dashed out of the room.

Song Que was utterly speechless.

After the door was closed, he reached out and touched his damp face.

Then, a charming smile spread across his face.

This woman…

After leaving the room, Qin Xiaoyao dashed to the hall.

The people in the hall were a little worried when they saw that Qin Xiaoyao had been gone for so long. The moment they saw her returning safely, they felt relieved instantly.

Qin Xiaoyao opened the first aid box and explained to everyone the types of medicine that could be used and the general treatment method for external injuries.

After that, she left the first aid box behind and ran back to her room.

She did not want to hang around with this group of people.

At this moment, she felt more comfortable staying by her husband’s side.

Of course, it would be better if they could do something more comfortable together. (Author: Hehehe!)

In the room, Song Que had already recovered from the ‘sneak attack’ just now.

He was using the cloth that Qin Xiaoyao had prepared earlier to seal the windows.

When he saw Qin Xiaoyao return, he quickly asked his wife to come over and help.

The woman, who had been fantasizing about wonderful things, became somewhat deflated instantly.

However, she also knew how to prioritize matters and obeyed Song Que.

Following that, the couple sealed the windows and the door frame tightly together.

After sealing the room with cloth, the room became much darker.

Qin Xiaoyao thought she might as well light the oil lamp.

Only then did she notice that there were still many locusts crawling around in the room.

“Let’s clean up these locusts too,” Song Que said.

Without waiting for Qin Xiaoyao’s reply, he got started first.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw her husband pick up a jar and put the locusts into it.

She also went to get a jar and cleaned up the locusts in the room with Song Que.

The two of them worked together, and it didn’t take long for them to clean up almost all the locusts in the room.

Looking at the two large jars of locusts on the table, Qin Xiaoyao felt a great sense of pity.

“This thing is supposed to be very nutritious.”

“Such a pity. I heard that during a locust plague, the locusts are poisonous. If you eat too much, you will get poisoned.”

Otherwise, she really wanted to fry some and eat them as a snack.

Song Que was taken aback as he looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

Were they poisonous?

He didn’t notice.

In his previous life, he and Ye’er had only managed to survive and go into town later by relying on those locusts for food.

There were also many villagers in the village who ate locusts.

“Hubby, you didn’t know?” Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but laugh as she asked Song Que. There was a smug look on her face.

Here was a living example. No matter how talented a person was, his knowledge was not all-encompassing.

Qin Xiaoyao might be an uncouth fellow, but there were also times when she knew more than her husband.

“What poison?” Song Que asked. It could be considered he was asking for her advice.

The smug look on Qin Xiaoyao’s face grew even more pronounced.

“Well, I can’t remember what the poison is called.

“Anyway, the general gist is that the locusts during the locust plague are different from the locusts under normal circumstances.

“Under normal circumstances, locusts live alone when they are just born. They are mild-tempered and do not cause much harm. At this point, they are not poisonous.

“However, when the number of locusts reaches a certain level, and they become overcrowded, their bodies will secrete a poisonous substance.

“They will compel themselves to become brutal and even undergo genetic mutation to avoid being eaten themselves.”

Right at this moment, Qin Xiaoyao noticed that a locust had slipped through the cloth not far away.

She walked over and grabbed it.

“If there’s a chance to compare, you’ll find that locusts under normal circumstances have alternating green and white bands on their bodies.

“As for the locusts during the locust plague…” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao handed the locust in her hand to Song Que.
