Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

The brown potion was poured out, and it had a pungent smell.

Cao Lu knelt between the two of them, rubbing the medicine in the palm of his right hand with his left hand, frowning slightly, wondering who to apply the medicine to first.

Jingzhi turned back to look at him and smiled cheerfully, "I told you, it won't hurt if you don't move. You can wipe Ah Jiu first. He fell too fast just now and was at the bottom, so his injury is more serious than mine."

Cao Lu didn't comment and nodded, "It seems so."

There were not only patches of purple and red bruises on Zhu Jiu's lower back, but also a large bruise, which looked quite scary.

There were no other wounds on Jingzhi's waist except for a few small red bumps that looked like mosquito bites.

"Are you really injured?" Caolu asked in confusion.

Jingzhi met Zhu Jiu's gaze and laughed dryly, "He insisted on being the last one, but I wouldn't let him. After I did a 720° somersault with him in my arms in the air, I unfortunately twisted my waist."

"After twisting his waist, he fell to the haystack outside your hut, and I hung on the crooked tree next to the hut."

Cao Lu was speechless. He stretched out his clean fingers, lifted a bit of fabric from her back, and carefully examined the dark red bags. He frowned and asked:

"Could there be a bug in the tree? Why are there little red marks everywhere?"

Zhu Jiu suddenly turned his face to the wall.

A heat rushed from the chest all the way to the forehead, and the blush spread from the cheeks to the thin earlobes.

Absolutely can't say that.

If they said that, Jingzhi and he would definitely be scolded by this conservative old man.

But unexpectedly, he shut up.

The other party, who was not very good at lying, couldn't hold it in for a few seconds and confessed the truth.

"I, I...we didn't have a wedding night, we just kissed."

Cao Lu's gentle face suddenly fell.

With a "pa" sound, Zhu Jiu was hit by a palm on the lower back.

His waist sank, but his chest suddenly bounced up, his toes clenched tightly, and the pain in his back made his veins bulge.

"Brother Caolu..."

Seeing Jingzhi's worried look, Caolu gritted his teeth and forced out an explanation: "If you don't rub it vigorously, the medicine won't be able to penetrate."

Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down.

Zhu Jiu, however, was sweating profusely.

Caolu always pressed on the most purple and painful part of his waist.

Zhu Jiu's vision went dark due to the pain.

But his sweetheart is right next to him, and even if he is in pain, he will never make a sound.

As he massaged Zhu Jiu, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat on the back of his chest, and the hem of his clothes was lifted wider and wider.

When it was lifted to a certain extent, three thin claw marks instantly came into view of the thatched cottage.

His face was very droopy, with the corners of his mouth pulled down to the limit.

Caolu suddenly bent down, turned his head, and bit Jingzhi's shoulder.

She uttered an ah, turned her head and said aggrievedly:

"Why are you biting me? I'm already hurt."

Cao Lu asked in a low voice with a cold face: "Really... there is no bridal chamber?"

He has been depressed for three months since he came back.

Are the two of them so romantic and happy?

Jingzhi shook her head for a while, then hesitated for a while, "I, that... this..."

"No, it's just... he kissed me and I tickled him..."

"No, not that."

The veins on Caolu's forehead bulged, and his eyes widened as he stared at the three claw marks, his expression looking extremely ugly.

Even though he had never owned a woman, he knew that Jingzhi would not easily tickle Zhu Jiu unless they played too much.

Moreover, there were so many marks on her lower back, not to mention other places.

The man with black eyes was replaced by a thatched cottage.

The person in the middle did not move for a long time. Jingzhi buried his head in his hands like an ostrich.

Zhu Jiu had no choice but to turn around and say something nice to Cao Lu.

"After you left, I had a fight with her."

"After that day, she fell ill. Because of you, she slept for three days and three nights and refused to wake up."

"I said the wrong thing and hurt her feelings, so I decided to sell my property and bring her to you."

"The water slide outside the living room on the first floor is her favorite thing to play with. It's too big to take with us, so I took her to play for a while."

"We were just having fun for a while, so we went a little too far."

"But don't worry, I know my limits and didn't... treat her..."

Jingzhi started to curl her lips before she finished listening.

"What do you mean by being sensible? If I hadn't struggled so hard, I think you would have gone!"

Jingzhi stared at Zhu Jiu with wide eyes, who suddenly reached out to cover her mouth, and started whimpering.

Zhu Jiu raised his chin towards the middle, motioning her to take a look.

Jingzhi froze, stiffened her neck and slowly turned her head, and Cao Lu's ink-black face immediately came into her sight.

Jingzhi swallowed his saliva and tugged at the corner of Caolu's clothes with a little force, "A Zheng, I, I took the initiative to sleep in a separate room from him, don't be angry."

Zhu Jiu bit his lip, frowned and said: "Then you sleep alone, and Brother Caolu is not allowed to enter!"

Caolu didn't say anything, pursed his lips, and gently touched the red mark on Jingzhi's waist with his index finger, and rubbed it hard.

The muscles on Jingzhi's waist tensed, and the cramped muscles were pulled violently, making the pain even worse.

She didn't dare to scream at all, and could only hold back her tears and nod in frustration, "Just sleep by yourself."

Anyway, she has a big pillow.

Cao Lu held out his hand to her expressionlessly, "I know there's something you'll definitely bring."

"Hand over Ah Jiu's pillow."

Jingzhi's indifferent expression instantly cracked.

"Ah Zheng, my waist hurts."

She started to act like a spoiled brat.

Caolu pursed his lips tightly, his expression not wavering at all.

"I really have a backache."

In front of him, she seemed to have lost her strength, and she wanted him to help her breathe hard whenever she felt a little pain.

Cao Lu sighed deeply, leaned close to her ear and said:

"I always thought I would come back here one day, so I didn't fight or compete for it."

"My personality is actually very similar to his. Jingzhi, I would get jealous too."

"You can make me a similar pillow in my image. That's absolutely fair."

Jingzhi was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned, "The image of you that left the deepest impression on me, besides that little puppy, is you that night when you were caught in the rain and had just blow-dried your hair."

"Do you want a puppy or a Zheng pillow with explosive hair?"

Her rosy lips were suddenly bitten by Cao Lu in hatred.

Cao Lu put his hand against her forehead, wishing he could pull her up and spank her until her buttocks were bruised.

"Is there no other option?" he asked.

The reason why he transformed into a puppy was just to lower Gigi's guard.

Jingzhi just smiled.

Zhu Jiu's lips were about to curl up, but he was afraid that Cao Lu would be angry to death. He suppressed his smile, coughed lightly and suggested:

"Or... let's just pick a puppy. I've never seen one before."

"You've just finished blow-drying your hair." Caolu glared at him and turned to Jingzhi.

He didn't want to fulfill Zhu Jiu's wish. Even if he had an afro, he still wanted to have a human form to spend the night with her.

Jingzhi laughed so hard that she was shaking. Suddenly she turned her head and said to him, "I'm just kidding!"

"The scene that left the most profound impression on me was that night when it was raining heavily and you were driven out by Gigi. You refused to come into my house and could only sit cross-legged on the flowerbed."

"The sword was on his knees, and he had a bamboo hat on his back. He was soaked to the skin, but he didn't even remember to put the hat on his head."

"Looking at my house, then looking at Gigi's house, he looks confused and silly, but also a little cute."

"At that time, I was jealous that Gigi kissed you, but seeing how reserved and cute you were, all the anger I had disappeared."

Cao Lu: "I...I didn't expect her to kiss me so suddenly. I'm sorry, I..."

Jingzhi lay down and shook her head gently towards him, "It's okay, it's just a little puppy, I like it too."

"When you see someone, you want to hug them, give them a kiss, and stroke their fur. It's normal."

Hearing her say this, Caolu became conflicted again.

She likes him in the rain and is willing to consider it.

But the little puppy said that when she saw him, she wanted to kiss and hug him...

The balance in Caolu's heart gradually tilted towards the little puppy.

But it doesn't show on the face.

"Well...I'll tell you what to do later."

Jingzhi spread his hands and said, "No hurry, I have no intention of leaving since I'm here."

"The Tang Dynasty, the heyday of the Tang Dynasty in history books. I feel very lucky to have been able to take a look at this era."

Caolu smiled slightly and touched her head.

While chatting, Caolu rubbed her waist lightly but with a little force.

The warm and tender touch came from the fingertips, and his ears turned red quietly, but his voice remained steady.

"Every era has its own advantages and disadvantages. Life here is boring, with few entertainment facilities. I'm worried you won't be used to it."

Jingzhi seemed to forget the pain after hearing what he said. She twirled the ring on her pinky finger and said excitedly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. When I get better, I'll share the things that Jiu got with you."

"The three of us watching a movie together, eating snacks together, drinking together, just imagining it is so much fun!"

"Anything from this dynasty is new to Jiu and me. It won't be boring. Will you be our guide?"

Her eyes sparkled, and Cao Lu's heart skipped a beat. He quickly hid his gaze, lowered his head and rubbed her waist, saying:

"I'm a rather boring person. When I go out on weekdays, I'm either looking at feng shui or hunting demons and exorcising ghosts. I occasionally go to the market. If you two don't mind, there's a temple fair in three days. We can go together."

"Yeah!"

She was so excited that she leaned back and was about to sit up, stretching her back, but her body stiffened and she lay back down.

"I'd better behave myself for the next two days."

Zhu Jiu smiled silently, while Cao Lu sighed helplessly. He pulled the clothes off her back and gently covered her and Zhu Jiu with a thin blanket. He stood up and said:

"You two take a break. I'll go arrange the meal."

Jingzhi: "Breakfast or lunch?"

Cao Lu paused, turned around and said:

"Dinner, according to your time, should be now..." He walked to the window, looked at the sun outside, and continued: "Four o'clock in the afternoon."

Before he walked out, Jingzhi suddenly asked.

“Who is in power now?”

Cao Lu's expression was somewhat complicated. He paused for a few seconds before replying in a low voice:

"Empress Wu, Wu Zetian."
