Mu Jinghua was carried all the way by Xu Shu, feeling flustered and ashamed, but these emotions were quickly dispelled by the dizziness in his head and the itch that penetrated deep into his bones.

Feeling that Xu Shu had stopped, Mu Jinghua used all his strength to pull the corner of Xu Shu's clothes.

He didn't know why he did this, but he instinctively wanted to get close to Xu Shu. He wanted him... wanted him...

Feeling the movement of the person in his arms, Xu Shu looked down and saw the boy's face was flushed, but his lips were pale and dry. Xu Shu's heart trembled and he kicked open Qi Huairen's door.

"Qi Huairen!" Xu Shu shouted loudly, "Come out here."

Poor Qi Huairen had just tidied himself and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a loud bang outside the hall. He was so scared that he thought it was his old enemy who had come to this remote town to take his life.

By the time he hurriedly put on his clothes, Xu Shu had already come in through the door and saw the medicine-pounding boy he had seen today running tremblingly towards Qi Huairen's door.

"Qi Huairen." Xu Shu paused, trying to calm down as much as possible, "He has a fever."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man called out miserably, "Master, save me."

Xu Shu: ...

Qi Huairen: …

Qi Huairen in the room was originally hoping that someone came to seek medical treatment, but after hearing Qu Xiu's words, he felt that the people outside were not good people. But now he was blocked in the room and he could not escape, so he had to bite the bullet and come out. Fortunately, when he went out and saw Xu Shu and the person in his arms, he realized that it was indeed someone seeking medical treatment.

But which good person would kick open the door of a clinic just to seek medical treatment and medicine?

He bought a very large iron lock. I wonder how much strength this person must have used to kick the iron lock open?

Qi Huairen glanced at Xu Shu sullenly. Usually a man of few words, he suddenly felt like swearing.

But when he saw Mu Jinghua in his arms again, the desire to curse disappeared, and he hurriedly said to Qu Xiu: "Go get some medicine to reduce the fever, and bring some wine to wipe his body."

Xu Shu held Mu Jinghua in his arms and helped to arrange things in a cold voice: "Cut a piece of ginseng as well."

Qu Xiu naturally didn't dare to disobey, he just hummed and ran away, making Qi Huairen so angry that he wanted to curse again. This silly boy, do you know who the master is?

But because Xu Shu was standing next to him, he didn't dare to say no, he just coughed lightly and looked at Xu Shu: "Come with me."

Xu Shu was also familiar with the process. After following Qi Huairen to place Mu Jinghua on the bed specially prepared for patients, he gave Mu Jinghua the ginseng slices brought by the child, and then took the wine and helped Mu Jinghua wipe the wounds on his body.

Qi Huairen was taking his pulse, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but frowned: "Aren't you his brother?"

Xu Shu nodded, but did not show any intention of standing up to give the doctor the seat.

Although there is a difference between a man and a boy, the boy had been to Yichun Tower after all. Although his clothes looked intact, if he had really been bullied...

Even though Qi Huairen was a doctor, he didn't want to put the boy in any situation that might lead to him being criticized.

Xu Shu said in a cold voice: "Don't bother Doctor Qi here, just prescribe the medicine quickly, I will apply it to him."

Qi Huairen saw that there was another reason why he didn't let him intervene. He looked at the pale-faced man again, sighed, and told Xu Shu: "He was given an aphrodisiac, but he is weak and has been suffering for two hours, so he has a fever. Although he has this ginseng to keep his blood flowing, if the fever is too severe, he will become stupid."

"First, wet a towel to cool him down. It's best to wipe him with wine. I'll go make some medicine. Once the fever subsides, we can take care of the rest."

Xu Shu responded in a deep voice, urged Qi Huairen to go out, and closed the door.

Mu Jinghua lying on the bed had his eyes closed. He had fainted, and his little face was badly wrinkled.

Xu Shu unbuttoned his outer robe and used a towel to wet the boy's still intact skin to help cool him down.

He didn't have the slightest intention of teasing, but his eyes became increasingly cold.

Thinking of the young man being forced by the madam to drink aphrodisiac, but with his hands and feet tied up, unable to move... thinking of the young man trembling, but unable to even make a sound to beg for mercy, the tears that flowed silently were also silent.

Xu Shu couldn't help but hit the wall next to him hard.

But I don’t know what the wall is made of. It was so fragile that a big hole was directly broken.

Qu Xiu, who was decocting medicine next to the wall, was so frightened when he saw a hole in the wall that his face turned pale. However, when he saw Xu Shu's gloomy face, he did not dare to run to find his master.

He could only sit trembling in front of the medicine stove and continue to decoct the medicine.

Xu Shu didn't expect to scare the boy, but he didn't want to explain anything, so he just tried to soften his tone and asked, "Kid, did your master make new clothes for you? Give them to him and I'll give you money, okay?"

He thought that the young man was about the same height as Mu Jinghua.

He did have new clothes. His master had just brought them to him from the fabric store yesterday. But when he saw Xu Shu, no matter how reluctant he was, Qu Xiu didn't dare to say no. He just nodded repeatedly and hurried out.

By the time Qu Xiu brought the clothes, the medicine had been prepared.

But Xu Shu was worried that Mu Jinghua would find it bitter, so he looked at Qu Xiu who was about to slip away and asked, "Do you have any candied fruit?"

Qu Xiu went out with a bitter face to get the candied fruit.

After the candied fruit was brought back, Xu Shu began to feed the medicine to Mu Jinghua. Even though the boy was still unconscious, Xu Shu still coaxed him kindly: "Little hibiscus, it's not bitter. Take a sip and I'll feed you the candied fruit."

When Qu Xiu, who was about to slip away, heard this, his expression became a little complicated. He couldn't understand why this man who looked so fierce could have such a gentle side.

But he didn't think too much about it. If he had the chance to run, he would run immediately. He had to go to his master to complain. This man stole his new clothes and candied fruit!

Unfortunately, Qi Huairen was also an old man. After hearing Qu Xiu's complaints, he could only sigh: "If he said he would give you money, he probably really would."

Qu Xiu pursed his lips, but couldn't help but be curious: "Is that young man his husband? He is so lucky to have such a caring husband."

Qi Huairen stroked his beard and said nothing. He was knowledgeable and could naturally see that the guy was covered in wounds and had been drugged to aphrodisiac. It was obvious that he had been bullied.

Even if you have a loving husband, what man would treat a dirty boy without bearing past grudges?

Moreover, when Xu Shu came last time, he did not say that he was her husband. I am afraid that these two people are still confused.

Qi Huairen sighed quietly again.

After tossing and turning until the second half of the night, Mu Jinghua's fever finally subsided.

Xu Shu looked at Qi Huairen and Qu Xiu, who were exhausted and looked tired, and coughed lightly: "You go and rest, I will take care of him."

He took out some silver from his pocket and said, "I will have to bother Doctor Qi for a while longer."

Then he handed Qu Xiu a small piece of silver and said, "Thank you for your help, little brother."

Qu Xiu still had the mentality of a child. He thought everything was fine as long as he was given money. He nodded repeatedly to indicate that it was okay, and grinned as he said that it would be fine for him to stay a few more days.

After being hit on the head by Qi Huairen, he remembered the fear he had just felt when being dominated by Xu Shu. He shook his body and ran away.

Xu Shu looked at his lively appearance, then looked at Mu Jinghua, who was curled up in the quilt beside him with little sense of existence, and his eyes couldn't help but turn cold.

He hadn't felt anything before, but now he realized how undisguised the world's malice towards him was.

From now on, I must take good care of this little fool.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh. How could there be such a stupid person who knew that going back would be hell, but would jump into the fire pit without looking back because he was worried about dragging him down.

He thought of the treacherous environment in the end times, and then looked at the atmosphere of flattering the weak and stepping down the powerful in the present world. He felt that it was a wonder that Mu Jinghua could live so simply for so many years.

But he likes it very much.
