This medicine box is where Chu Yue eats. She knows what is in it better than anyone else.
"On the bottom layer, that's what's in the white porcelain bottle."
Lu Xinghe opened the small drawer on the upper floor, took out a half-fist-sized white porcelain bottle from the bottom shelf, and placed it in front of Chu Yue.
"But this?"
Chu Yue nodded quickly, "Yes, that's it."
"Be patient, I'm going to give you medicine."
Lu Xinghe opened the medicine bottle, dipped a soft cotton cloth into the liquid in the porcelain bottle, and carefully rubbed it on Chu Yue's waist. After wiping it, he gently rubbed her with his warm palms, which hurt. Chu Yue was sweating.
Lu Xinghe looked at her expression, and the strength in his hands became lighter and lighter, wishing that he could bear the pain on her behalf.
After a while, after applying the medicine, Lu Xinghe put down Chu Yue's clothes.
"Are there any other injuries?"
Chu Yue's eyes evaded, "No more."
With just one glance, Lu Xinghe knew that the little girl was lying.
"When you are injured, you need medicine to recover quickly. If you don't tell me, I will check it myself."
Chu Yue's cheeks turned red, "No... no need to go elsewhere. When Yufang comes back later, I'll just ask her to give me the medicine."
Mainly because he was afraid that Lu Xinghe would be worried.
Lu Xinghe looked at her helplessly.
"Yueyue, I am your husband-in-law, and no one is more suitable to give you medicine than me."
"Then...okay." Chu Yue bit her lip, then said bravely, "There should be injuries on the back, arms, shoulders and knees."
Lu Xinghe looked at the little girl lying on the bed, his eyes filled with dark clouds.
Who is the person who wants to kill her behind the scenes?
But no matter who it is, when he has the ability in the future, he must find out clearly and then avenge her today.
Lu Xinghe calmed down and continued to give Chu Yue the medicine.
Just after taking the medicine, there was a knock on the door outside the house, "Yueyue, are you there?"
Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe, "It's Yufang."
Lu Xinghe hummed, but his movements did not speed up because he heard Lu Yufang's voice.
"I'll open the door later."
Seeing this, Chu Yue shouted outside, "Yufang, I'm here."
After confirming that Chu Yue was in the room, Lu Yufang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, it's great that Yueyue is fine!"
Xu Heng on the side was smiling, "I just told you that Miss Chu is a good person and will be fine."
After a moment, the door in front of the two of them was opened.
Lu Xinghe looked at the two of them, "Come in."
Lu Yufang walked in the door and ran towards Chu Yue, "Yueyue, how are you?"
Chu Yue, who was sitting on the bed, smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Looking at her miserable appearance, Lu Yufang's eyes flashed with distress, "You're like this and you still say it's okay, so how do you mean something is wrong?"
Chu Yue held her hand.
"I'm really fine, I just look scary."
Lu Yufang did not continue the topic with her. He could smell the medicine in the room and knew that the injuries on her body were definitely not what he saw.
Xu Heng looked at Chu Yue on the bed with remorse on his face.
"Miss Chu, fortunately you are back, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain to Brother Lu."
Chu Yue nodded slightly, "Young master Xu, you don't have to blame yourself. When I asked you to leave first, you must have thought of a way to deal with it. I have to thank you for taking care of Yufang."
After listening to Chu Yue's words, Xu Heng's face flashed with appreciation.
Normally, when a woman encounters something like this, she would be frightened to the point of despair. Fortunately, she not only saved the people around her, but also protected herself in such a dangerous situation. She was really smart and courageous.
"Miss Chu, there is no need to thank me. It is my responsibility to take care of Miss Lu." After Xu Heng finished speaking, he clasped his fists slightly towards her, "I learned that Miss Chu is fine, so I won't bother you anymore. The girl is resting. I will answer my question." In the room."
Chu Yue nodded, "Master Xu, walk slowly."
After Xu Heng left the room, Lu Xinghe approached Chu Yue, "Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"
It's already past noon, and the little girl must be hungry after working hard all morning.
Chu Yue looked at him with a smile, "As long as you have something to eat, I won't choose."
Looking at her bright smile, Lu Xinghe reached out and touched her head, "I'm going to get you some food. You and Yufang have a chat first, and you'll have something to eat before you rest."
Chu Yue nodded obediently, "Okay."
Seeing Lu Xinghe leave the room, Lu Yufang grabbed Chu Yue's hand and said, "Yueyue, you don't know, my brother's expression was ugly when he heard that you were missing today."
Chu Yue had curiosity on her face, "How do you say that?"
Lu Yufang thought for a while.
"I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, I have never seen my brother react like that. Never before. There was despair, there was panic, and...well..." She frowned lightly, "I can't remember. What words should I use to describe it? Anyway, I only know that you are very important in my brother’s heart.”
After hearing this, Chu Yue felt a little melancholy in her heart.
"But he never told me that."
"It's not like you don't know that my brother never talks much." Lu Yufang looked at Chu Yue, "Besides, you are still young, so he may be afraid that he will scare you."
After listening to Lu Yufang's words, the expression on Chu Yue's face suddenly became brighter.
"I hope so, but even though he didn't say it, I can feel it."
Lu Yufang saw Chu Yue's expression and sighed jokingly.
"Alas! Someone is lucky enough to meet a man as good as my brother."
Chu Yue's face was full of pride, "That's right, he is lucky to meet me."
Lu Yufang smiled and glanced at her, "You are not ashamed. How can anyone praise yourself like this?"
Chu Yue pointed at herself, "That's me. Haven't you seen it before?"
If Chu Yue hadn't been covered in injuries now, Lu Yufang might have had to press her down on the bed and tickle her for fear of hurting her.
The two were chatting and laughing when Lu Xinghe brought the food into the room.
"Let's eat first."
The back of Chu Yue's left hand was injured and bandaged, making it inconvenient to hold the bowl. Lu Xinghe sat by the bed and fed her the porridge spoonful by spoonful before eating it himself.
Lu Yufang was sitting at a table and chair not far away, eating food from her bowl and looking in the direction of Chu Yue.
Chu Yue met Chu Yue's eyes from time to time, and gave her a flirtatious look.
Every time at this time, Chu Yue would curl her lips into a silent smile.
After eating, Lu Xinghe helped Chu Yue lie down, and then went to Xu Heng's room with Lu Yufang.
"Brother Xu, I have to trouble you with something."
"What's the matter? Brother Lu, just say it."
Xu Heng's face was cheerful.
Lu Xinghe looked at him and said, "I want you to help me go to the county town and deliver a letter to Mr. Luo. Yueyue can't live without anyone here, and I have to guard her."
Xu Heng nodded hurriedly, "Okay, you write the letter and give it to me. I can make a trip this afternoon and come back here tomorrow to help."
Lu Xinghe said hello, turned around and went to the desk where the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were placed. After writing a few words on the paper, he folded the envelope with kraft paper, sealed it and handed it to Xu Heng.
His deep eyes glanced at Xu Heng, then looked at Lu Yufang aside.
"Yufang, you go with Brother Xu and help me get some books from my residence in the county seat."
