Because Xu Heng was present and Chu Yue was about to face the disaster relief issue in Huangsha Town, she had no time to ask any more questions.
"Yufang, when we get to the place later, you and Mr. Xu will go to the inn to settle down first. I will go to the centralized point to see the situation of the victims."
Lu Yufang was stunned for a moment, then lowered the car curtain and looked back at Chu Yue.
"When the meeting arrives, it's almost dinner time. Can't we go tomorrow?"
Chu Yue's dark eyes flashed with determination, "I just went to take a look, it won't take long."
Two doctors had been sent to deal with the disasters in Huangsha Town and Qingshi Town before, but now they don't know what to do. She only arranged two days for each place.
Two days later, it was time to return.
She has already spent too long on disaster relief. If the delay continues, she will not be worried about Nanping Town.
Before Lu Yufang could speak, Xu Heng said thoughtfully, "Miss Chu, just go and go. Miss Lu and I will settle down at the inn."
Lu Yufang hesitated for a moment and looked at Chu Yue again.
"Yueyue, how about I come with you? I'm not worried about you going alone."
Chu Yue smiled lightly, "What are you worried about? I have Hei Mu following me, aren't I more powerful than you?"
Thinking of that big ice cube, Lu Yufang had no reason to follow Chu Yue.
During this period, in order not to scare others, Heimu followed Chu Yue from a distance by climbing over walls and walls for a long time, trying to avoid the crowd.
But as long as Chu Yue called, he would appear in front of her silently. After a few steps, he went up to the roof. Lu Yufang, who often looked at him, was stunned.
"His kung fu is quite reassuring."
Hearing Lu Yufang praise other men, Xu Heng's brows wrinkled for no reason.
As soon as they arrived in Huangsha Town, Chu Yue led Hei Mu in the direction of the gathering point for the victims, while Lu Yufang and Xu Heng entered the inn carrying large and small bags of luggage.
Lu Yufang had just put her things away when she saw Xu Heng appeared outside the door.
She didn't know why, but when she saw him, her heart beat wildly for no reason.
"Brother Xu, do you have something to do with me?"
Xu Heng did not answer her question, but summoned up the courage to ask, "Miss Lu, do you hate me?"
"How could it be?" Lu Yufang shook her head hastily, "It's nothing, Brother Xu is overthinking it."
"Then why have you been avoiding me lately?" Xu Heng asked again.
Lu Yufang blushed when she thought of the scene on the horse that day and what Xu Heng said on the carriage.
If it weren't for the huge difference in life experience, she would have accepted Xu Heng's overtures openly.
But she was afraid that this relationship would not work out.
As for being a concubine, she had never thought about it. She had heard from her mother since she was a child that she would rather be a wife in a poor family than a concubine in a rich family. A concubine is a slave and the children she will give birth to will not be able to hold their heads high.
After a long while, she spoke hesitantly.
"Maybe he's busy..."
"Busy?" Xu Heng had a hint of astonishment on his face.
When she was in Tongzhi County, it was not as peaceful as these towns, but she was the elder brother of Xu, and she had never been avoided like this.
Xu Heng raised his legs and entered the house, slowly approaching Lu Yufang.
He really wanted to know whether the little girl had him in her heart.
But due to his cultivation, he didn't do anything too outrageous.
Lu Yufang looked up at the approaching man, feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, especially when she caught a glimpse of his cannibalistic look. She involuntarily stepped back step by step, until the table behind her blocked her retreat. .
"Brother Xu, you...what do you want to do?"
Xu Heng looked down at the little girl in front of him, and when he caught a glimpse of the panic on her face, he softened.
He stopped, smiled slightly, and reached out to touch Lu Yufang's head. There was struggle, relief, and inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
"Since you call me big brother, what can I do to you? Have a good rest, I'm going back to my room first."
After saying that, he turned around and left her room without hesitation.
Looking at Xu Heng's leaving figure, Lu Yufang felt empty in her heart, as if something important was slowly being lost.
She closed the door to her room and sat back behind the door with her hands on her knees. Her panic made her heart twitch.
Xu Heng came out of Lu Yufang's room and did not go back to his own room. Instead, he left the inn and headed towards the gathering point of the victims.
…
The next day, when Lu Yufang came out of the room, she only saw Chu Yue but not Xu Heng.
She looked confused, "Yueyue, where is Brother Xu?"
Chu Yue glanced in her direction, then started to hold on to the handrail to go downstairs, while replying, "He left?"
Lu Yufang's heart tightened, "Leaving?"
Chu Yue hummed, "He has been working with us for nearly a month. After all, the last two towns have reached the final stage. Now that Heimu is here to guard him, he will definitely go back to study."
Lu Yufang said oh, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Chu Yue turned back and looked in her direction, with a little worry on her face.
"You don't look very good. Do you want to go back and take a rest? There are not many patients in Huangsha Town. I and the other two doctors can handle it."
Lu Yufang forced a smile and shook her head.
"I can do it. If we have more people, we can work harder. If we can finish things here earlier, we can go back earlier. After being away from home for a month, I miss my grandparents and parents a little bit."
Maybe she felt aggrieved, maybe she missed him, maybe she was reluctant to give up. As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
Chu Yue patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
"Okay, actually I miss home too. Since we want to go home early, let's go quickly and focus on helping."
Lu Yufang sniffed and followed Chu Yue to work.
When I am busy, I always forget a lot of things because I am eager to go home. The two-day finishing work originally planned was completed in only one and a half days.
As soon as the matter here was settled, the two of them took Jiang Xuan's carriage to Qingshi Town that afternoon.
Qingshi Town is worthy of being a landscape town. There are clear streams and springs in the mountains, and rugged rocks. You can see stilted buildings surrounded by mountains and rivers everywhere. From a distance, they look much more elegant than the blue brick houses.
Chu Yue and Lu Yufang were arranged in a stilt-style inn.
The first thing after staying at the inn, Chu Yue went to the gathering point for the victims. Because two doctors were sent here early in the morning, the situation here has been brought under control and the patients are basically recovering.
"Both doctors have worked hard during this time."
The two of them waved their hands hurriedly, "Doctor Chu, please don't say that. In a certain sense, you are our master. It is necessary to do something for your master. It is not hard work."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "It was a waste of time."
The two doctors looked at each other and smiled.
"That's not necessarily true. The scenery in Qingshi Town is beautiful and the people are warm. Doctor Chu has worked hard for the people for so long, so he should relax here."
Chu Yue nodded, "That's all I can think about."
After inspecting the patients at the centralized point, she returned to the inn.
…
Tongzhi County.
After Xu Heng returned home, he always got distracted while reading, and images of getting along with Lu Yufang kept appearing in his mind, making him extremely impetuous.
Early the next morning, he simply threw the book aside, carried two plates of snacks, and headed to the small courtyard where Lu Xinghe lived.
