"Girl, you're finally back!"

Before she even entered the house, Shaoyao came out to greet her.

"Girl, you must be hungry. Eat something first..."

Shaoyao sleeps in the morning, so Mengen goes to pick up Wenshu every day.

"Have the guests arrived?"

Wen Shu didn't stop and walked straight into the bedroom.

As he walked, he took off the gloves on his hands.

"The guest arrived. Not long after you left, I waited outside. But I don't know what the guest has been through. He looks so depressed."

After saying this, Shaoyao Jiang girl showed no unusual expression on her face as she continued to describe the man's miserable condition.

"The clothes are so tattered they barely cover their shame, the body is covered with wounds, and the first thing he says after receiving the person is asking for a bite to eat and drink..."

"Girl, the man said..."

Having said that, Shaoyao wondered whether she should say this or not.

"Go on!" Wen Shu stopped and stared at Shaoyao with a sharp gaze.

"That person said that everything outside was in chaos, everything was in chaos, people were being killed everywhere, there were dead bodies everywhere..." Shaoyao answered with a pale face and a trembling voice.

"Hey, girl." Before Shaoyao could finish her words, Wenshu turned back into the house and walked straight to the back. There, a bathtub filled with hot water and some special medicine was already prepared.

"Girl, let me help you." Baoju quickly followed, ready to help Wenshu wash up.

This was one of the things she had to do every morning, because Wen Shu would practice martial arts every morning, and after practicing, she needed to soak in this bucket with potion added for half an hour.

This helps her recover and relieve muscle fatigue, while also protecting her body from the effects of overexertion.

Wen Shu quickly took off her clothes, stepped into the bathtub and sat down, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

While feeling the warmth of the water, she thought about the situation outside.

Although the water around her made her feel comfortable, the chill inside her heart lingered.

She secretly estimated the time, and scenes of chaos and killing in the outside world kept emerging in her mind, and a sense of fear surged in her heart.

Even in the warm water, she still felt the cold and cruelty of the outside world.

This uneasy feeling spread in her heart, preventing her from enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"Is the man's injury serious? Is he in serious condition?"

Shaoyao didn't know why, but the girl had no expression on her face after hearing her description of the person she met.

I was also unsure, and I didn't know if the picture I described was too real or too exaggerated.

But—that person wasn't much worse than she described.

She replied, “Girl, although the man can still walk, I don’t know the exact extent of his injuries.

I was about to call a doctor, but he stopped me. He said he hadn't had a good night's sleep for more than ten days and was very hungry.

So I brought him some light and easily digestible food from the kitchen."

"Where is he? Has he finished eating? When can he see me?" Wen Shu asked.

When mentioning this, Shaoyao seemed a little uneasy.

"That person only ate half of the rice in the bowl and fell asleep on the table..."

Speaking of this matter, Wen Shu had already assigned her a task, asking her to be smart in the morning and calculate the time to squat at the back door of the house. If the person she was waiting for came, she had to greet him and properly accommodate him.

She had been squatting in front of the door early in the morning for several days. Several times, when the girl came back from morning class, she found her dozing off behind the gate.

Today, the man finally showed up. She waited outside, planning to take him to see the girl after he finished eating and washing up.

He was so hungry that he ate voraciously, but before he finished, he suddenly fell to the ground on the table with a thud. This sudden change made her panic and she even thought that he was dead.

She immediately ran to the kitchen in panic, looking for the cook to come and check. If someone died here, the girl would not blame her, but if others knew about it and spread it, it would definitely bring unnecessary trouble to the girl.

After examining him, the old woman said that the man was just extremely tired and had fallen asleep, and would recover after waking up.

Hearing the girl's question, Shaoyao could only report the truth.

"I understand. You don't need to disturb him. He will come to see me when he wakes up. Also, go talk to the people in the outer room and tell them that our manager from Luoyang has arrived. Ask them to help arrange a temporary place for him to stay."

"Go to the box next to my makeup box and take out a string of five beads. Then take the man to his residence and ask Doctor Zhang to take a look. If that doesn't work, you can ask Doctor Zhang's grandson to come over and take a look."

The mountains here are high and the land is far away, and the only one who needs treatment is Dr. Zhang and his family.

Doctor Zhang worked hard all his life in Luoyang to gain the respect of others, but he never expected that when he got old, he would become a hot commodity in this mountain.

"Girl, don't worry, I'll take care of it." After Shaoyao made this promise solemnly, she began to rummage through the makeup box.

One, two... Shaoyao counted them carefully one by one until the number was enough.

She carefully put the five-zhu coin into her purse and shouted to the inner room, "Girl, I'm leaving first."

"Go!" Wen Shu's gentle response came from inside the house.

After getting permission, Shaoyao hugged her purse tightly and ran away as quickly as the wind.

Meanwhile, Wenshu was busy in the back room. Having just finished her medicinal bath, she had simply washed herself with clean water. Now, she was intently fiddling with her clothes, trying to find the perfect fit.

She had lived here for quite some time, but she still couldn't get used to the way it dressed.

Not only is the dressing process cumbersome, but even walking becomes inconvenient. Every time I try to put on this outfit by myself, the results are always unsatisfactory.

Either it was too loose to be worn out or it was prone to accidents. After several failures, Baoju completely lost confidence in her craft and gave up on her idea.

Wenshu handed a strap from the lining to Baoju, who was helping her put it on, and continued the previous topic: "Did they send someone to pass on the message?"

Without even lifting his eyelids, he continued to ask

"Ask about paying the money...?"

Baoju was a maid after all, she was just passing on a message. When the girl asked, she didn't say much, but just nodded to show her agreement.

"It's my second aunt..."

"Um……!"

Hearing this, Wen Shu snorted coldly, thinking that as expected, human greed is unpredictable. He must have thought she was weak and could be bullied, so he came to suck her blood.

"Don't pay attention to her. If you have any problems, let her come to me..."
