Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

On the second night of camping in the open, Liu Rusi and Caiyun were much more relaxed. They sat around the campfire, each baking naan, and had some time to discuss their experiences of riding horses over the past two days.

Liu Rusi discovered on the first day that sitting on the saddle while running would rub the inner thighs and buttocks very painfully. If she leaned forward with her buttocks a little away and used her feet to push the stirrups so that her legs could bear the force, it would be much easier.

Although you will be exhausted no matter which method you use over a long period of time, at least the damage is shared and your butt isn't the only one that suffers.

After eating the baked naan with hot water, Liu Rusi and Caiyun went back to washing up before going to bed as usual.

Chu Shiyu followed quite naturally with his toiletries and stood at the edge, with Xiao Qinhao between him and Liu Rusi, just like when they were in Dongshan Village.

Liu Rusi glanced at him and saw little Qin Hao skillfully holding out the toothbrush to dip it in the tooth powder in Chu Shiyu's hand, and then handing the tooth powder to her.

Tooth powder seemed to be more useful than fine salt. Liu Rusi didn't bother with such trivial matters. She dipped the tooth powder in the water and handed it to Caiyun.

Four people stood on the roadside in the wild, brushing their teeth in unison...

Chu Shiyu's slightly curved phoenix eyes have a unique flavor compared to the chickens and ducks in the yard.

After washing up, Liu Rusi and Caiyun massaged each other again, and it was time for the group to take a break.

He passed out the moment he lay down last night. When Liu Rusi was about to lie down to rest today, she discovered that Chu Shiyu was sleeping with them through Xiao Qinhao!

When sleeping with her son, Liu Rusi instinctively sleeps towards her son, but little Qin Hao is too small to completely block Chu Shiyu over there...

In the light of the campfire nearby, she could vaguely feel the gaze coming over there.

She felt a little uncomfortable, closed her eyes and turned over naturally towards Caiyun as if adjusting her sleeping position.

But after lying there for a while, she felt even more uncomfortable than before. The feeling of having her back to little Qin Hao made her feel uneasy...

So she naturally turned over and went back.

Who cares whether he sees it or not, my son is the most important!

Although they had adapted a lot, they were still very tired after a day of running around, and even Chu Shiyu fell into a deep sleep quickly.

But suddenly some ferocious roars, shrill shouts, and all kinds of noisy sounds rang out, preventing the few people from staying up all night until dawn.

When Liu Rusi sat up in a daze, Chu Shiyu had already stood up and walked towards the sound.

She and Caiyun stood up and looked over there from a distance. They soon discovered what was going on. A group of ferocious wolves were attacking the guards near the woods on the periphery! One guard was covering his bloody arm and limping back to the inner circle!

Liu Rusi's first reaction was to pull the little Qin Hao, who had just sat up, into her arms, even though she knew rationally that they were just a few wolves and there was no way they could get past the heavy guards and hurt them.

This was indeed the case. In just a few moments, more than a dozen wolf carcasses were left at the scene, and the few remaining wolves whimpered and retreated...

Chu Shiyu hurried back and comforted him, "They must be wolves that have never encountered weapons. Perhaps they have attacked passers-by who were unable to resist before, so they regard humans as weak sheep that can be hunted at will. Normal wild beasts would not dare to attack so many people."

He carefully observed Liu Rusi's expression and secretly sighed at his bad luck. It was very rare for a large group of people to be attacked by wild beasts. Instead of worrying about the beasts, he should worry about the vicious bandits.

Although the bandits he encountered last time were actually the private soldiers of the Eighth Prince, it was not uncommon for bandits to become powerful bandits. He did not expect that he would actually encounter real jackals...

"I know. Qin Lie used to hunt wild animals in the surrounding mountains. Even if the elderly and children from Dongshan Village went up the mountain, the animals with a little intelligence did not dare to attack them." Liu Rusi said with a smile. Although Qin Lie did not mention it, Liu Rusi saw that he always hunted back some ferocious wild animals, and slowly understood that Qin Lie could not get over the fact that he did not save his grandfather.

Chu Shiyu froze. She could talk about her past with Qin Lie calmly, but he couldn't listen calmly. Every time he heard her mention it, it was like reminding him that Qin Lie still occupied her heart unshakably... day after day, his ghost would not go away!

Half of Liu Rusi's heart was filled with longing for Qin Lie, and the other half was on the injured guard. She asked little Qin Hao to follow Chu Shiyu, and she hurried over with the box and Caiyun.

As soon as she passed by, she saw other guards sprinkle some golden medicine on the wounded, and then used the strips of cloth torn from their clothes to wrap up the wound...

"Leave it to me! I was the one who treated your prince's previous injury, trust me." Liu Rusi said as she tried to gain the injured man's trust, while she took the strip of cloth that was to be wrapped and moved it upwards a long way, tying it around the upper end of the injured arm to slow down blood loss.

The guards silently glanced at the prince who was following behind, and seeing that he was just covering little Qin Hao's eyes and had no intention of objecting, they accepted it silently.

As guards, their lives belong to Prince Duan. Even if they really want to die, they can only beg for mercy and dare to hate secretly in their hearts... Moreover, as guards, they know that Madam Liu saved the prince, which is somewhat true.

"Is the injury just on the hand?" After Liu Rusi tied the arm tightly, she observed the injured person's legs. It seemed that his legs were a little limp just now?

The injured person also hardened his heart and decided to trust Liu Rusi, exposing all his injuries. There were bite marks on the calves and ankles of both legs, and his other hand was covered with scratches from claws.

"So much?!" Liu Rusi frowned, her hands moving non-stop, and she took the other strips of cloth torn off by the guards, tied them up to stop the bleeding, and instructed others: "Bring all the boiled water, that is, boiled and cooled water, as much as you can! Also bring some basins or pots..."

"Qin Hao! Take the soap from your backpack, rub it in the water, and help me make some soapy water! Caiyun, come here and help me treat the wound!"

After Liu Rusi bandaged his injured limbs, she began to wash and clean the wounds with clean water. When bitten by an animal, especially a wolf or a dog, the most feared thing is rabies, but there is no vaccine, no immunoglobulin, and even no antibiotics. We can only clean the wounds carefully to reduce the risk of infection. I hope those wolves don't have rabies...

Although Liu Rusi was directing Xiao Qinhao and Caiyun, Chu Shiyu couldn't just stand there and watch. He wanted to replace Caiyun to help, but Caiyun said seriously: "I used to help Sister Si. Your Highness, you watch from the side first. Once you learn it this time, you can help again when you have the chance."

So he could only go to help Xiao Qinhao rub the soap in disappointment. Liu Rusi needed a lot of soapy water, and the three people had a piece of soap in their bags. Chu Shiyu also called Sun Zhizhao to come and help.

The injured guard was immediately terrified. What merit had he taken? He was just unlucky enough to be bitten by a wolf, but his master and so many others had to work so hard for him? !

Caiyun was responsible for the hands that were scratched by the claws, and Liu Rusi was responsible for the arms that were severely torn. At the same time, they rinsed them with clean water, and changed to soapy water when there was one. Alkaline soap solution is irritating to the wound, but with so many people surrounding him, the injured guard just held back and was too embarrassed to say anything.

While squeezing the wound to drain the dirty blood, Caiyun repeatedly rinsed it with soapy water and clean water alternately. She did not stop until nearly two quarters of an hour later. After the last rinse with light salt water, Caiyun started to rinse the wounds on the victim's calves and ankles.

Liu Rusi opened the medical box and took out a bottle of strong alcohol. She said to the injured person, "Using disinfectant will hurt a lot. Be prepared. Just hold it in and don't move."

Normally, modern medicine uses iodine to treat exposed wounds because alcohol is too irritating, but she only had alcohol, and compared to the risk of wound infection, the short-term pain was a minor problem.

“Ah…” the guard cried out in pain. He was not mentally prepared and he just restrained himself from moving, but he couldn’t help shouting out. As soon as he finished shouting, he gritted his teeth in embarrassment and held it back. The prince and so many people were here, he couldn’t lose face!

The soapy water had been prepared enough, and Chu Shiyu moved closer and saw that she was applying disinfectant to the wound with a cotton ball.

Chu Shiyu also recalled the severe pain at that time. He was pretending to faint but was awakened by the pain... But the more painful part was the cutting of flesh. I don’t know if this guard was lucky enough to enjoy it.

"How did you get injured in so many places?" Liu Rusi asked the injured person while disinfecting, trying to see if she could distract his attention.

The guards of Prince Duan had already accepted that Madam Liu was their master, and they had to answer questions from their master. So the injured man endured the pain and recalled the situation at that time and said, "At that time, a group of wolves came straight towards me, biting my hands and feet and dragging me into the woods. Fortunately, the brothers nearby reacted in time and snatched me away."

"That's really a blessing in disguise. Although your wounds are severely torn, it seems that no important meridians have been damaged, and the bleeding is not serious." Liu Rusi comforted him while finishing the disinfection of a wound and taking out tweezers and a pair of sharp scissors from the medical box.

"Indeed! At that time, a wolf was rushing straight towards my neck. Fortunately, I quickly raised my hand to block my neck!" The injured man couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he recalled the scene. He didn't even notice the necrotic tissue on his wound that Liu Rusi was trimming with a pair of scissors.

The other guards present also remembered the scene vividly, and seeing that the prince and Madam Liu didn't mind, they couldn't help but start chatting with the injured man.

Chu Shiyu next to him was puzzled. He cut off all the flesh! Doesn't it hurt? Is he afraid of pain? Impossible?

If he asked Liu Rusi, he would definitely know that the necrotic tissue had long lost its pain. However, Chu Shiyu did not ask, and could only secretly suspect in his heart, is he not as tough as a guard?

Liu Rusi trimmed and cut the wound flat, then took out the needle and thread from the box and began to sew it. It was still night, and the lighting from the campfire nearby was not very good, but if aesthetics were not considered, animal bites were usually sparsely sutured, so the dark spots would do.

But after concentrating on stitching up a wound and bandaging it with golden medicine, she felt a little tired... She hadn't gotten enough sleep...

Thinking of this, she suddenly tilted her head slightly and said, "Haohao, go back with your foster father and get some sleep first. You don't need to help here."

"Caiyun, after washing the wound, you can go back to sleep." The exposed wounds have basically been cleaned.

"What about you? When will you be done?" Chu Shiyu asked with a frown. He also remembered that she had only slept for more than two hours. She was so tired these two days, she couldn't have not gotten enough sleep.

"Minor wounds do not need to be stitched. It should be done soon." Liu Rusi's hands did not stop. In addition to the one on his hand, there were two other big wounds that needed stitching.

Chu Shiyu was not completely unaware that there were still several bloody wounds on the guard's legs. He estimated that he could sleep for an hour, so he said, "Don't sew the wound on your hand after you sew it. Let others bandage the rest. The people around you saw how you bandaged it just now. It's not difficult."

Liu Rusi did not completely refuse. After thinking for a moment, she said, "There are still two places that need to be sewed. They can bandage them themselves."

"No, then you won't be able to rest for long." Chu Shiyu winked at the injured guard, and the guard immediately understood.

Although Liu Rusi didn't see it, she felt it through the slight movements of the injured. She kept moving her hands and said without raising her head: "Chu Shiyu, I don't want to be perfunctory when treating injuries. At least I have to see it through to the end. If you have time to go against me here, why don't you help me take Qin Hao over and go to bed early."

Chu Shiyu paused. Although he had said before that he would call him by his first name in the future, calling him by his full name seemed to indicate anger...

However, he inexplicably liked her bossy tone...

Chu Shiyu threw a withdrawing look at the injured guard, then bent down and picked up little Qinhao. He kept covering little Qinhao's eyes to prevent him from seeing the scene of treatment. Little Qinhao had almost fallen asleep leaning on his legs.

He put little Qin Hao on his blanket and covered him with a cloak, then signaled Caiyun who had just returned to look after him. After glancing at the guards who were surrounding him, Chu Shiyu slipped back to Liu Rusi.

Chu Shiyu stared at him without saying a word. Although his expression seemed gentle, he hinted that he would interrupt him if the conversation lasted too long.

Liu Rusi glanced at him but didn't drive him away. Her energy was limited and she wanted to treat the wound as soon as possible.

After treating a wound, Liu Rusi simply instructed Chu Shiyu to bandage it. Just as he said, it was not difficult, and he had bandaged it himself before.

The injured guard had been numb from the pain and drowsy from the weakness of blood loss, but he woke up immediately and watched his master bandage him in fear and trepidation. He used the same words again, how could he be so worthy? !

However, Chu Shiyu was not a good master who cared about his subordinates. As soon as Liu Rusi finished stitching the wound, he threw a few rolls of gauze to the people next to him without saying anything, meaning that you guys should take care of the rest.

After Liu Rusi washed her hands, he urged her with a look that spoke volumes to go back and get some sleep.

Liu Rusi couldn't help but roll her eyes. Did she look stupid? Did she need him to urge her?

She was indeed very tired. She fell asleep almost immediately after lying down. She didn't even notice that Chu Shiyu was sitting there without any sleepiness, and his eyes were carefully tracing her fast falling asleep.

This was the Liu Rusi he had never seen before.

When she was awake, she always seemed to be wearing heavy armor, fighting against what she considered to be "invaders" with a silent and firm attitude - mainly him at the moment.

But when she was asleep, she looked particularly well-behaved and submissive.

It gave him some illusion that if he just walked over and stretched out his hand, he could get everything he wanted.

The dissatisfaction in my heart is growing uncontrollably...

When will he be able to cross that abyss and do whatever he wants without restraint?

I want to see her being obedient even when she is awake...

I want to hold her in my arms...

think…

He quickly turned his head away and lay back down, stopping his thoughts. Thinking about these things now was just torturing himself.

He must not mess everything up because of a momentary impulse.
