Chapter 62: Recruiting Him as a Guard

Xu Rongrong was trapped in the carriage by a group of people.

The last time I encountered this situation was when I came back from Shaohua Temple and faced Wu Ping.

But she knew what Wu Ping's purpose was at that time, and she also knew how to deal with that timid playboy. But now... she had never met the group of people outside, and she had no idea who was controlling them.

There was no movement from the people in the carriage.

The scarred man became bolder. He stepped forward with a grin and said, "Please forgive me, Lady County. We are just common people. How could we dare to offend an important person like you on normal days? But this time the money you gave us is too much. Even if you are a descendant of the emperor, I am afraid we would have offended you today." He suddenly opened the car door, and the two girls in the car came into view.

The girl in the pink dress standing in front was frightened but remained calm. Only her slightly fluttering eyelashes against her snow-white skin revealed her inner panic.

The reckless movement of the carriage just now had messed up her hair.

At this time, a few strands of black hair fell down, and there was a slight purple tint on her cheeks.

Xu Rongrong's chest rose and fell violently due to nervousness. Scarface's eyes reflected this girl, and he exclaimed in admiration: "What a beauty..."

"You bold lunatic, how dare you insult my young lady!" Luo Shu rushed over from the back of the carriage and hid the young lady behind him.

"Oh, this is not bad either! Take me to comfort your young lady, and then I will comfort you."

Scarface reached into the car and grabbed someone.

But the next second, a scream was heard, and Scarface's palm was nailed to the car door by a flying knife. "Ah, ah, ah, ah..." He cried out in pain.

A nimble figure came from the air and shot two flying knives into Scarface's eyes again.

The scarred man who was so unbearable just now was now twitching all over and screaming in pain.

The next moment, blood spurted out from his neck and he died suddenly.

Everyone outside the car was stunned by the sudden change.

Before they could react, three of them had already been beheaded.

There was only one person left. Since he was far away from the carriage, he ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.

Disappeared into a secret passage in the yard.

In just a moment, there were corpses all over the ground in front of the courtyard gate.

The man walked forward, kicked Scarface out of the car, and said in a cold voice, "Alright."

At the moment Scarface was attacked, Xu Rongrong hugged Luo Shu and covered her eyes. She finally recovered and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving me."

"I'm not a young master." The man in linen clothes raised his head.

After Xu Rongrong saw his appearance clearly, she stood there in shock:

Chuhe...

How could it be him?

She was stunned for a moment, but Chu He did not notice this abnormality.

He was squatting on the ground, rummaging through the clothes of several criminals, and putting any valuables he saw into his arms.

Xu Rongrong finally recovered and asked, "What's your name, young man?"

"My last name is Chu." Chu He replied, standing up and brushing off the dust on his sleeves.

He glanced around and said, "This is a slum. There are still many bad guys like this. You should leave quickly." "Thank you, Young Master Chu."

Without a coachman, the master and servant had no choice but to walk back.

Just as Xu Rongrong was about to stand up, her right leg went weak and she fell to her knees in the car.

"Miss!" Luo Shu exclaimed and hurried over.

She turned around to block the sight of people outside the car and lifted the hem of her lady's skirt.

Xu Rongrong's entire right leg was covered in mottled purple bruises, and there was a large cut at the knee that was bleeding.

Luo Shu said anxiously, "I think he got hurt when the carriage was running rampant just now. What should I do... I didn't bring any medicine with me this time."

Because they were going to Mu Qianyin's place for a banquet, Xu Rongrong didn't bring the medicine bag with her. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay. Let's go back home first."

"But how can we get there now..." The young lady's leg was injured and she couldn't walk, and she didn't know how to drive a car. Luo Shu was about to cry anxiously. Chu He said outside the car: "My home is not far from here. If you don't mind, you can go to my place first to get a simple bandage."

He smelled a faint smell of blood and frowned unnaturally.

"In that case, thank you very much." Xu Rongrong trusted Chu He's character, so she did not hesitate.

Seeing that she was straightforward, Chu He jumped onto the carriage, shook the reins and led them away.

The poor people of the capital lived in a corner of the south city, which was dotted with thatched huts and was called a slum.

On weekdays, young and strong people make a living by begging and doing odd jobs, while ragged old people sit outside the door, looking at everyone who passes by.

"Don't open the curtain." Chu He said in a deep voice.

The two girls in the car responded without hesitation.

Perhaps it was because Chu He's inherent murderous aura was so intimidating that he encountered no setbacks along the way.

"We're here." Chu He jumped out of the car.

The carriage stopped outside a dilapidated hut with a simple fence outside.

The house was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Luo Shu helped Xu Rongrong get out of the car. Just as they walked into the yard, they heard a weak young man's voice in the house: "Brother, cough cough... is that you? Cough cough..."

Chu He agreed and walked into the house.

He whispered a few words of comfort to the young man, then walked out holding a worn medicine bag.

"The room is filthy, go back to the car and bandage yourself."

Xu Rongrong looked at Teng with a smile, bowed and said, "Thank you very much."

She didn't turn around and leave, but stood quietly for a while and asked, "Is that man in the room your brother?"

"Yes." "But he has tuberculosis?"

Chu He glanced sideways: "Can you cure diseases?"

Xu Rongrong shook her head and said, "I smelled three kinds of medicine for treating tuberculosis from the medicine he took, but the dosage seems to be insufficient."

"The medicine is too expensive, we can't afford it. The doctors in the countryside can't cure his illness, so I can only bring him to the capital, but the doctors here just use medicine to keep him alive..." Chu He said, turning his gaze in other directions.

Xu Rongrong looked around the dilapidated courtyard and said, "This place is not conducive to the care of lung disease. If you want your brother to get better, in addition to taking the medicine on time, you also need to change his environment."

"Heh..." Chu He sneered, "That's easy for you to say! I can't even afford medicine right now, so how can I afford to buy a place to stay?"

"Are you willing to come to my house and be a guard?" Xu Rongrong cautiously probed, "I will arrange accommodation for you brothers."

In her previous life, she had never heard anyone mention that Chu He had a younger brother. Later, when she mentioned his family during a casual chat with him, his face became gloomy and he didn't want to talk about it anymore, as if he also had some unpleasant memories.

I think his younger brother had died of illness at that time.

If in this life, she could take Chu He away from the Fourth Prince and cure his brother's illness... would her fate of dying at his hands in her previous life also be changed?

No matter what, she would give it a try.

"Are you willing? Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life today."

Chu He raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him intently, with stars shining in his dark eyes.

He paused for a moment and said, "Okay."

Xu Rongrong was a little surprised by his straightforwardness, but being able to bring him into the mansion was a good thing for her.

Next, she and Chu He agreed on the arrangements for entering the mansion the next day, and Luo Shu supported her back to the carriage. Chu He was harnessing the carriage.

A jade button accidentally slipped off his lapel.

He quickly reached out to retrieve it, holding it against his chest to block Xu Rongrong's view.

Xu Rongrong didn't take this little episode to heart. She was imagining that one action today might change her final outcome.

The car door slowly closed, blocking the two people's sight.

Chu He clenched the jade button's hand tightly, trembling slightly.
