Chapter 104: It's worth it to suffer this pain

Beneath the cliff, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves.

At ten o'clock in the night, the fallen leaves were all covered with white frost, making the night seem even more bleak and desolate.

When falling from the cliff, Mu Rong held Xu Rongrong in his left hand and slid down the stone wall with the sword in his right hand, which alleviated the impact of the fall.

Therefore, he was not seriously injured after falling from halfway up the mountain, except that his right hand and arm were severely worn out.

Xu Rongrong curled up among the broken leaves, her face pale and her right hand tightly grasping the medicine bag.

Mu Rong reached out and felt the girl's breath. After confirming that she was fine, his slightly pale face finally showed some color.

Fortunately, he arrived...and once again felt the feeling of having lost and found again.

After struggling for so long, the girl in front of him had messy hair, pale lips, and her pretty face was covered with bloodstains scratched by branches. The green and red scars looked particularly pitiful under the moonlight.

Her hands and feet were cold, so Mu Rong quickly took off his outer robe and wrapped the girl in it.

He rubbed her hands and feet vigorously. After an unknown amount of time, the girl's body gradually warmed up. She moaned and slowly opened her eyes.

At this time, the moon had risen to the middle of the sky, shining into the canyon under the cliff. It was extremely bright against the backdrop of the white frost on the ground.

The moon's shadow fell on the back of Mu Rong's head, but it blinded the eyes of the person in his arms.

Xu Rongrong stared blankly at the man in front of her, and was in a trance for a moment, unable to tell whether this was her previous life or this life.

Mu Rong picked her up tightly and held her in his arms, wishing he could rub her into his bones and blood: "It's okay, it's okay."

Xu Rongrong couldn't stop shaking. Mu Rong's heart trembled slightly. He didn't want to let go. He continued to hold her and murmured, "Rongrong... give me a chance, okay? Don't push me away again, okay?"

Xu Rongrong gritted her teeth and said, "I... my arm is dislocated."

Mu Rong paused and quickly let her go.

Sure enough, her left arm looked a little weird.

"I just climbed on the cliff for a long time and got some frostbite. Then I fell from such a height, so it was inevitable that I dislocated my joint," she explained.

At this moment, a cold wind blew through the canyon.

The leaves on the ground were blown into pieces.

This place is a windy place and we can't stay here for long. Mu Rong looked around.

In the distance, there was a rock protruding from the bottom of the cliff. His energy from being outside for many years made him know that there would usually be shelter under the rocks.

So he rushed away holding Xu Rongrong.

As expected, his prediction was correct. Mu Rong took off his coat and spread it on the ground, then gently put Xu Rongrong down.

Seeing that the girl's expression had improved a little, he bent down to check her injuries.

Apart from the dislocated left arm, the rest of the injuries were just abrasions and nothing serious.

He felt a little relieved, but the feeling of dislocation...

Although beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Xu Rongrong's forehead, she clenched her teeth and said nothing. This look made Mu Rong even more distressed.

He...didn't protect her.

She almost left him again.

"I'm sorry." Mu Rong murmured.

Xu Rongrong was about to say that it had nothing to do with him, but she saw him fall down.

"Mu Rong! You... well..." She swallowed all the words she said. Xu Rongrong quickly pushed him away with her right hand, but the man's strength made it impossible for her to move. One hand had already climbed up her waist.

What the hell is wrong with him? Xu Rongrong was furious and was about to bite him hard.

The next moment, a sharp pain came from my left arm.

Xu Rongrong shuddered all over.

Mu Rong let her go and said with a smile: "Okay, you can move your hands now."

Xu Rongrong's eyes flushed red. This person! This person! This person has gone too far!

She turned her back and ignored him.

Mu Rong smiled faintly upon seeing this.

They were probably going to spend the night at the bottom of the cliff...

Mu Rong stood up, gathered the nearby branches and leaves together, took out a tinderbox and lit it.

A bonfire, full of dazzling red, drove away the coldness for them on such a winter night.

Xu Rongrong subconsciously moved closer to the fire. As expected, she still longed for warmth.

Mu Rong lowered his head, hiding the smile on his lips. He licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, savoring the sweetness just now.

His appearance...

When can we let him run wild?

The flames gradually grew larger before his eyes. Mu Rong turned to look at the girl beside him. "How dare you climb such a high place, huh?"

If he hadn't arrived in time today...

Fortunately, there are no ifs!

Xu Rongrong lowered her head and clenched the medicine bag in her hand: "Some things are worth it."

Mu Rong looked at her and asked, "What is worth more than your life?"

His eyes were burning, and even though Xu Rongrong didn't look at him at the moment, she could feel the strong dissatisfaction.

Indeed, for Mu Rong, he enjoyed this rare tranquility, but it did not affect the anger that was suppressed in his heart at the moment.

His little girl is disobedient! Very disobedient!

Xu Rongrong seemed to know that she was in the wrong. She pursed her lips and unfolded the medicine bag: "This is Mingyue Grass, a good medicine for the people in the city."

After that, she told Mu Rong the whole story of how she and Mu Ai discovered and eliminated the "evil flower".

Although the "evil flowers" on the water source have been cleared, the patients in Yuzhou City who have already contracted the disease, or even entered the second stage of the disease, can only rely on Mingyue Grass for treatment. This herb is only found in the Western Regions. If they miss it...

Even if they could sense the sourcing from the Western Regions, I'm afraid the current patients would have already been buried in the earth.

Mu Rong remained silent after hearing this.

He moved his left hand skillfully, and his slender fingers fiddled with the white flower in the medicine bag, making it itchy at his fingertips.

With the two of them so close, Xu Rongrong quickly smelled an unusual smell in the air: "Are you injured?"

Mu Rong subconsciously hid his right hand.

Xu Rongrong knew that there must be something strange going on, so she quickly grabbed his right hand.

Mu Rong gently struggled to break free, but the girl held his hand even tighter.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Mu Rong said this, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

The girl's delicate hands gripped his wrist tightly. She looked at the blood still seeping out from beneath the haphazardly bandaged cloth and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. "You...how are you so badly injured?"

Mu Rong smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury."

Xu Rongrong didn't believe him and untied the bandages bit by bit. Her palm was bruised to the bone. Her wrist was bloody and her entire forearm was oozing blood.

She said in frustration, "I didn't bring the blood-draining grass!"

When she went up the mountain, her medicine bag was filled with some common herbs, including Sanguisorba officinalis.

But just now, in order to pick the Moonlight Grass, Xu Rongrong was afraid that it would conflict with the other medicinal properties in the medicine bag, so she emptied out all the medicine before climbing the cliff.

Who would have thought... that I would see Mu Rong being injured so badly.

And all these injuries he suffered were also for her.

Her eyes were red, her heart was blocked, and she lowered her head.

Mu Rong lifted her chin with his intact left hand, looked at her with deep eyes, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see you like this. It's worth it for me to endure this suffering."
