The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 107: Everyone Understands

There was less than half of water left in the water bag.

Mu Rong handed it to Xu Rongrong.

Xu Rongrong gently shook the water bag, hesitated for a moment, and handed it back: "I'm not thirsty."

Mu Rong looked at her. After a night's rest, Xu Rongrong's face regained some color and was no longer as pale as last night.

Only the scratch on his cheek reminded him of the danger he had experienced last night.

He subconsciously raised his hand and brushed away the messy hair on Xu Rongrong's forehead: "You drink it. I'm away from home all year round and I know where to find water."

"The water source on the mountain is poisonous." Xu Rongrong reminded.

"It's okay. The Yu River flows through the entire city and eventually merges into the Guangtong Canal. There's more than one source of water," he consoled her. "Besides, it's already daybreak. We can follow the path at the bottom of the cliff out."

Xu Rongrong looked at Mu Rong's arm: "But the injury on your right hand..."

When she was bandaging him last night, the shocking wound frightened her. There was no suitable medicine at the bottom of the cliff, so she could only deal with it hastily.

Mu Rong waved his right hand. "It's okay. Besides, it's too deep here, and the sunlight can't penetrate. It's not advisable to stay here for long."

"If we don't go back for a day, Chu He will definitely find a way to find us. We just need to wait here." Xu Rongrong said.

But she didn't expect that the two words "Chuhe" would immediately stir Mu Rong's heartstrings, and he frowned.

He used his intact left hand to hold Xu Rongrong in his arms: "No need to wait for him, I'll take you out!"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

As expected, Mu Rong was right. The higher the sun rose, the colder the cliff bottom became.

The cold wind swarmed down the cliff and passed through the narrow gap at the bottom of the cliff unrestrainedly.

Xu Rongrong subconsciously hugged her arms tightly.

Seeing this, Mu Rong took off his cloak and put it on her.

Xu Rongrong raised her eyes and met his. There was a smile in his eyes, which contained indescribable tenderness and affection.

Such a look made her lose consciousness for a moment.

This was exactly what she had been looking forward to for five years in her previous life. During the lonely days and nights in Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, she had hoped countless times that one morning, afternoon or evening, he would appear before her with such tenderness.

But, it never happened.

The funny thing is, now, it’s everywhere.

Now that she no longer has any thoughts about him.

Xu Rongrong lowered her head, hugged the medicine bag tightly in her arms, and said nothing.

Seeing her fall silent, the light in Mu Rong's eyes gradually faded.

He sighed almost inaudibly.

Take a few quick steps to explore the way ahead.

Watching his tall figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xu Rongrong also sighed softly.

Mu Rong was right. After he stepped on the soft wet ground, he guessed that there must be a water source nearby.

Following the path all the way, we found a tiny spring amidst a circle of fallen rocks.

Just as he was about to go over, Xu Rongrong stopped him: "Be careful, it's poisonous."

Mu Rong smiled and said, "It's okay. This is just a small spring that can't flow into the Yu River. No one would poison here."

He lowered his head and drank a few sips, then raised his eyes and said, "I've checked it, don't worry."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

……

The road at the bottom of the cliff is flat.

Dead leaves were scattered all over the ground, making a rustling sound when stepped on.

I didn't feel very tired when walking.

Before they knew it, they had passed through the narrow gap at the bottom of the cliff and were standing under the sun again.

Xu Rongrong stretched out her hands and let out a long sigh.

Once you get out of here, it won’t take long to get down the mountain.

Her heart relaxed, and she turned her head to catch a glimpse of Mu Rong's slightly tired face.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a clamor of voices in the distance: "Look! Over there..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew up from the sky and was about to land in front of Xu Rongrong. But the next moment, Mu Rong jumped up and blocked the figure.

"Get out of the way." Chu He lowered his voice.

Mu Rong looked at him coldly, refusing to give in.

As the two of them were in a stalemate, Xu Rongrong trotted over. Seeing Chu He, her eyebrows curved: "You're here!"

Mu Rong: “…” He frowned with a chill all over his body.

Xu Rongrong's expression warmed Chu He's heart. He glanced at Mu Rong, then smiled and nodded. "You didn't come back all night, and we didn't have enough manpower to find you quickly. So Wen Yao came up with a plan. She used the name of the county lady and ordered all the yamen runners from Yuzhou Prefecture to search the mountain."

"If she is the county lord, I..." Xu Rongrong asked.

"You are her personal maid." Chu He replied.

Xu Rongrong's eyes curved with laughter: "As expected of me, you have so many clever ideas!"

Chu He looked at the scratches on her face and neck: "You are injured."

Xu Rongrong subconsciously touched her face and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go back and apply some medicine and it will get better."

Seeing her talking and laughing with Chu He, Mu Rong felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He moved his right arm and took a hissing breath of cold air.

Xu Rongrong came back to her senses when she heard the noise.

She came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Rong glanced at Chu He, then squeezed out a bitterness from the corner of his mouth: "Nothing, don't worry about me."

Seeing that his brows were furrowed, it was obvious that he was trying hard to endure the pain.

Xu Rongrong lowered her head and unwrapped the bark wrapped around his arm.

Although the ointment had dried and turned black, the wound was visibly clotted with blood. She frowned and said, "Isn't it getting better? Why is it hurting suddenly?"

Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Mu Rong could only say, "Maybe he bumped into me while walking just now."

The Line Sky is narrow and deep, and there are rugged rocks on both sides of the road, so it is not impossible.

Xu Rongrong no longer doubted it and nodded: "It's better to go down the mountain and return to the city as soon as possible. Your wound needs to be bandaged properly."

While the three were talking, the yamen runners from a distance rushed over one after another.

"My goodness, the girl next to the county lady is even more beautiful than her."

"What a pity, my face was scratched."

"Look at this imposing demeanor... He's worthy of being someone close to the county lord."

"..." Hearing this, Mu Rong stood in front of Xu Rongrong with displeasure: "How dare you!"

The leading yamen runner raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Who are you?"

It's no wonder that others couldn't recognize Mu Rong at this time. His cloak was wrapped around Xu Rongrong, and he was only wearing casual clothes.

His head and face were covered in dust, and his arms were wrapped in strange pieces of bark.

No matter from which perspective, one cannot associate him with Weiyuan Hou of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, the police naturally did not take him seriously.

Mu Rong was about to scold him when Chu He lowered his voice beside him: "Does the Marquis want to reveal his identity?"

The dignified marquis spent a night with the county lady's "personal maid" at the foot of Yushan Mountain.

They were even seen standing together so intimately. If this matter were to get out, how would others view him and Xu Rongrong?

Mu Rong's eyes darkened. He suppressed his impatience and said, "I am the guard of the county lady."

The little guard and the little maid...

The yamen runners looked as if they understood everything.
