Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

However, Lu Erniang had already fainted from the pain at this moment. Du Wenxiu had no choice but to sprinkle all the medicine powder in the bottle on the wound.

Then, he found a clean, soft cotton cloth to bandage her wound, helped her to sleep on the bed, and went to rest on the couch next to her.

Because he had something on his mind, Du Wenxiu opened his eyes as soon as it was light. He turned his head to look at the bed, where Lu Erniang was sleeping soundly.

Perhaps it was the pain of the wound, her pale face was covered with sweat, her brows were wrinkled from time to time, and she let out weak groans.

Du Wenxiu quietly got up, went to the west room to get a copper basin, opened the door, poured out the water, and replaced it with warm water from the stove.

A Luo had gotten up early, and was startled when he saw her.

"Why did you get up so early today? Didn't you sleep well?"

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "I had a nightmare and woke up, and I couldn't fall asleep again. Aunt, take care of yourself, don't worry about me."

A Luo also told her to take a nap while she rested, and left breakfast in the pot for her so she could eat it when she got up.

Du Wenxiu responded with a smile and carried the basin into the house.

Sitting in front of the bed, she wet a towel and wiped the sweat off Lu Er Niang, but she was unexpectedly awakened.

Du Wenxiu was startled and said hurriedly, "I see your head is full of sweat, let me wipe it off for you."

"Thank you." Lu Er Niang forced herself to sit up. "Thank you for applying medicine on me last night."

Du Wenxiu shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled, "Mrs. Lu is truly a heroine. I was scared just by seeing the injuries she suffered last night."

Lu Erniang smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury. If it weren't for the poison on his sword, I wouldn't have to risk coming to Madam Lu for help."

"Poisonous?" Du Wenxiu couldn't help but widen his eyes and raised his voice by two notches. He then covered his mouth and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

After a while, seeing no unusual movement outside, Du Wenxiu looked at Lu Erniang nervously, wanting to say something but stopping himself, feeling very conflicted.

Lu Erniang smiled at her soothingly and said, "Go and collect the hand towel you used to clean the wound last night and give it to me."

"Then this copper basin filled with water for washing wounds..." Du Wenxiu glanced downwards.

Lu Erniang said, "It's okay. The poison is called Seven Steps Down. I have been able to hold on until now relying on my ancestors' mental skills, which means that the poison is exaggerated in its effect."

Du Wenxiu didn't know whether the effect of the poison was exaggerated or not.

But the horrific bloodstain on Lu Er Niang's snow-white belly yesterday really left a deep impression on her.

"Although this poison is not very strong, it is a bit troublesome to deal with. After all, you still have children at home, and your family is not short of money, so why not just throw it away."

Lu Er Niang chuckled.

After hearing this, Du Wenxiu also felt that throwing it away was the best way to deal with it just in case, so he readily agreed.

But if I want to throw it away, I'm afraid I'll have to stay away from the two concubines, otherwise I'll be treated as a prodigal and given a good lesson.

In the yard, A'luo called for dinner, so Du Wenxiu told Lu Erniang to have a good rest and he would bring her some food in a while.

Lu Erniang had no objection, she just asked if Erlang was okay being here.

Du Wenxiu was just lifting the curtain to go out, and when she heard this, she whispered, "He lives in the front yard. When he's treating you better, I'll take you to see him."

Lu Erniang smiled and nodded, and Du Wenxiu went out without mentioning it.

In the kitchen, A'luo was serving everyone's meal. Du Wenxiu went up to get a bowl of rice soup, took two pancakes and was about to leave.

Ah Luo was surprised when he saw it and asked, "Can you finish two cakes?"

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "I had a stomachache last night, and now my stomach is empty. I feel like two cakes are not enough."

"Well, then you eat more. I'll bring some pickles over later. You can eat them with them. They will taste better." A Luo said with concern.

Du Wenxiu didn't dare to ask her to come into the main room, so she said hurriedly, "I'll come and get it myself, Auntie, please be busy."

After saying that, he turned and left the kitchen, walked a few steps to the inner room of the main house, put the rice soup and cakes on the table, and gently lifted the lattice fan to look outside.

Seeing that A'luo was indeed carrying a plate of side dishes and was coming over here, Du Wenxiu hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. Why are you bothering me to bring it to you, auntie?" Du Wenxiu stepped forward enthusiastically to stop A Luo.

A Luo smiled and said, "You are so busy every day, what's the big deal for me to do this little thing?"

Du Wenxiu hurriedly took the pickles from her hand and looked at A Luo who seemed to want to chat with her.

"Is the girl up yet? I heard the workshop is very busy these days, so tell her not to miss work."

Du Wenchan usually likes to delay sleeping in, but today I can't do that, so I'm sorry for her.

When A Luo heard this, he turned around immediately, muttering to himself that he must not let her miss the opportunity, and hurried to wake up Du Wenchan.

Soon, the sound of A Luo and Du Wenchan arguing was heard outside. Du Wenxiu felt extremely guilty and turned around and went into the inner room carrying the pickled vegetables.

"Your pancakes are indeed very delicious. Officer Lu often talks about them."

Du Wenxiu put the pickles on the table when he heard Lu Erniang say this.

She paused for a moment and smiled, "Did Madam Lu come here with my Fang Hai this time? Why don't you see him?"

Lu Erniang said softly, "Captain Lu went to Zhaoshan City. Before he left, he asked me to wait in Sanqing County. If he didn't return in three days, he asked me to go to Dongxing County to look for Erlang."

"Then why are you doing this?" Du Wenxiu asked puzzledly.

Since she was asked to come and look for Erlang, why did she end up like that last night? Could it be that Erlang was in danger?

Lu Erniang said softly, "I just arrived in Dongxing County last night and followed my memory to find Mrs. Lu's home. I happened to run into a traitor from my sect wandering around."

Du Wenxiu was secretly shocked when he heard this: "You mean, my family is being targeted?"

Lu Er Niang nodded, her expression solemn. She held the soup and the cake in her hands and had forgotten to eat.

"That man was sentenced to leave the sect in his early years, and my father even issued a killing order for him, but he was protected by the government, so the matter was dropped."

"When I met him in the capital before, I wanted to eat his flesh alive."

"I ran into him last night. With new and old hatreds, and also worried about the safety of Madam Lu and Erlang, I chased him across half the city and beheaded him."

"I was also injured at that time. Since I couldn't find a reliable place to get rid of the poison, I took the risk and came to Madam Lu for help."

Du Wenxiu nodded slightly and said, "Let's fill our stomachs first. Erlang, I'll go and see you in person when you're better. I'll take you there when you're better."

"Madam Lu, I'm afraid that the thieves have found this place, and Erlang's whereabouts have been exposed. It would be bad if he hides here and implicates Madam Lu." Lu Er Niang thought.

Du Wenxiu frowned slightly: "What about according to Madam Lu's wishes?"

"Let's move Erlang to another place." Lu Er Niang stared at Du Wenxiu, with a pleading tone in her voice.

Du Wenxiu was silent and thoughtful for a while before he said, "You eat first. I'll go see Erlang."

Just as he stood up, he heard the sound of footsteps coming in. Du Wenxiu didn't dare to call for help. When the person came in, he saw Lu Er Niang, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to ask what was the matter.

"Xiuniang, it's bad. The male servant of the guest house came to report that Erlang might have caught a cold and now he has a fever again." A Luo said anxiously.
