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

Chapter 134 I Will Protect You

In just half a day, it felt like I had experienced life and death.

For a girl like Luo Yuqi, it wasn't until she saw her mother busying around in the kitchen amidst the smoke and heat that she finally calmed down.

But this peace only lasted for a moment, and the next moment she was frightened by a one-eyed girl.

The whole person was shaking like a sieve.

Luo Xiao quickly hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here, maybe you are mistaken."

"Mom... that's right... it's true... it only has one eye..."

Luo Xiao gently patted her daughter's back: "Don't think about it anymore. Mother will take you to eat later. You won't be afraid when you are full." In Chu He's room, the clan doctor was stitching his wound with the help of Shu Qing.

Shu Qing had acupunctured the wound in advance, so even though he didn't use Ma Fei San, Chu He still didn't feel any pain. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, without a trace of pain on his face.

Half an hour later, the clan doctor finally hung up the phone. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This young man...I'm afraid he didn't fall, did he?"

Shu Qing was slightly startled and said quickly: "It was just a small incident on the road, he..."

The clan doctor waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me these things! But your young man's injuries are serious and require proper care. Fortunately, the wound was treated promptly and has been sutured. You can just focus on recovering. The herbs we have here are not as good as the ones you used to treat him. I only brought some wound medicine, which may not be effective."

Seeing that he was unsure, Shu Qing casually asked, "I just heard from the village chief that there's a doctor in the village next door who can treat injuries. I wonder if he has any medicine there?" The clan doctor looked up at him with a strange expression, and said thoughtfully, "There... I advise you not to go."

Shu Qing: “…”

Since there was no need to prescribe medicine, the tribal doctor walked out of the room after stitching the wound.

Seeing this, the old patriarch, who was waiting in the main hall, hurried out to greet him: "How is it? Can the injured nobleman wake up tomorrow?"

Because he had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, the old patriarch was trembling a little. The clan doctor quickly helped him up and said, "It's hard to say... He's seriously injured."

The old patriarch sighed, glanced at the room where Xu Rongrong was taking refuge, and left without saying a word.

When they reached the door, the boy who had been peeking out ran over and said to the clan doctor, "Dad! There's a woman in the kitchen, a beautiful woman!"

The old patriarch's face changed drastically: "Don't talk nonsense, that's the aunt next door, I asked her to come over to help." The boy pouted: "It's not my aunt, I saw..."

The old patriarch tapped the cane in his hand and shouted, "Er Ni, what do you think of your brother?"

The girl who had been hiding in the corner and peeking at Mu Rong hurried over upon hearing this.

After being scolded by the clan leader, she didn't dare to explain. Tears seemed to roll in her intact eye. "It's my fault. I was careless and didn't keep an eye on my brother. Lord Clan Leader, my brother didn't see anything."

"Hmm!" the patriarch responded coldly.

The clan doctor glanced at the kitchen and said nothing more. After saying goodbye to the clan leader, he left with his son and daughter.

Mu Ai came over and helped the patriarch up: "Old man, I will take you back."

After they walked away, Xu Rongrong came out of the room.

After Shu Qing reported the events truthfully, he also recounted the solemn expression on the old patriarch's face when he heard Chu He was seriously injured and unable to wake up. Wen Yao smiled and said, "This old patriarch is really a good person. He hopes that Brother Chu will wake up sooner than we do."

Xu Rongrong thought thoughtfully: "Maybe he doesn't want Chu He to wake up soon. He seems to be worried that we will stay here longer because of Chu He getting hurt."

Wen Yao thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.

At this time, Mu Ai, who had sent the old patriarch home, also rushed back and happened to hear Xu Rongrong's words. He was puzzled and said:

"The people in Yujia Village are really weird."

"They say they are mean, but they even vacated the village chief's house for us to live in, and invited the tribe doctor to treat Guard Chu's illness."

"But if you say they are enthusiastic, it seems like they are chasing us away all the time."

He crossed his arms, confused.

Mu Rong glanced at him and asked, "Can't figure it out?"

Mu Ai nodded and said, "Yes." "Why don't you go check it out?"

Mu Ai: “Oh…”

Luo Xiao brought out noodles from the kitchen and advised, "Deputy General Ai, you should eat something hot before going."

Mu Ai also wanted to do so, but to him, the Marquis' words were like military orders, so he could only do his business first!

So he thanked her and said, "I'll be back soon. Sister Luo, please save a bowl for me!"

Although it was vegetarian noodles, everyone had been hungry for most of the day.

This dinner was very delicious.

But Xu Rongrong noticed that Luo Yuqi didn't move a word.

She asked curiously, "But what troubles have you encountered?"

Luo Yuqi raised her bright eyes to look at her, then suddenly threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

Xu Rongrong was startled and quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and hugged her: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly." Luo Yuqi sobbed and told her how she was scared by the one-eyed girl just now.

After hearing this, everyone felt horrified.

Mu Rong thought for a moment and said, "There was indeed a young girl among the people who came with the clan doctor just now, but she kept her head down, so I didn't notice her."

He felt something was amiss. "Just now at the intersection, there was a girl with a broken leg, and just now there was a one-eyed girl. How come none of the girls we met tonight were healthy?"

After he said that, Luo Yuqi stopped crying immediately.

Because she felt even more scared!

And the next moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Ah!" Luo Yuqi screamed and hugged Xu Rongrong tighter.

The person who came in was none other than Mu Lu, who had just been sent by Mu Rong to inquire about Zhuangzi's news. As soon as he entered the room, he was frightened by Luo Yuqi's scream: "What's wrong?"

Mu Rong asked solemnly, "Why did you take so long?"

Mu Lu didn't care about Luo Yuqi. He walked forward with a hint of joking on his face: "Master, do you know who owns the manor next door?"

Mu Rong looked at him without answering.

Mu Lu laughed dryly and answered himself: "That is the manor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's actually the Imperial Manor?" Xu Rongrong asked curiously, "But if it's the Imperial Manor, why are the people in Yujia Village so mysterious when they mention it?"

"It's not just the people in Yujia Village. When I went to investigate at the farm, I found the people there to be just as strange. They kept silent with each other, not even exchanging the usual greetings. It took me a long time to find out that the master there was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Rong frowned. "I haven't heard the prince mention any land in the south." He thought for a moment, "But this place is close to the Jiangnan Prefecture, and with Chang Jing here, it's not impossible."

He then asked, "Is there a doctor on the farm?"

Mu Lu nodded. "There is indeed a doctor, and he is said to be an expert. But he never leaves the village, nor does he diagnose patients outside the village."

How could there be such a doctor? This made Shu Qing, who was also a doctor, unable to understand.

But if he is such a demanding person, it would be impossible to find medicine.

Fortunately, Xu Rongrong's medicine bag was filled with abundant medicinal materials, so there would not be a shortage for the time being.

Mu Lu had just finished talking about the imperial farm.

Mu Ai, who had been out, also came back. His movements were much better than Mu Lu's, but his face looked very ugly.

Wen Yao saw this and quickly brought him a bowl of hot water. "What's wrong with Deputy General Ai?" Mu Ai glanced at Wen Yao's pretty face and frowned. "There are no normal women in this village."

Everyone: "..."

Luo Yuqi shrank back into her mother's arms.

Muai added: "There are no normal-looking women."

"Yujia Village has over a hundred households, but there are less than twenty women and girls in the village, and they all have broken legs or arms, or horrific facial scars. The daughter of the clan doctor is blind in one eye, and the daughter of the family next door is completely blind. I walked around and didn't see a single healthy person."

After he finished speaking, he said worriedly, "My Lord, there's something strange going on here. Should we leave tonight?"

Hearing this, Xu Rongrong subconsciously glanced at Chu He's room.

Mu Rong noticed her subtle movements and said in a deep voice, "I will keep watch with you two tonight. The rest of you should go to bed early. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Xu Rongrong raised her head and looked at him when she heard this.

After a day of running around, Mu Rong was already exhausted. However, when he met Xu Rongrong's gaze, he immediately put away his tiredness and smiled at her:

"Don't worry, I will protect you."
