Chapter 1424 - 1419: Helping Fengzi Treat His Wound
Mu Shuangshuang of course knew why those people fled after seeing her embrace with Lu Yuanfeng.
Because in this era, people’s tolerance for such a relationship was nearly zero, and Mu Shuangshuang dressed as a man was the spitting image of a man.
And hugging Lu Yuanfeng, of course, everyone was scared.
"Fengzi, I’ll take you to where I live first to treat your wound!"
Mu Shuangshuang reached out, holding Lu Yuanfeng’s uninjured left hand, her gaze fixed on Lu Yuanfeng’s injured arm.
However, just as she finished speaking, Lu Yuanfeng said, "Shuangshuang, my arm is fine, I... I’ll go back to the camp to treat the wound."
Lu Yuanfeng didn’t dare let Shuangshuang see his wound which hadn’t even been treated; he was afraid she’d feel distressed seeing it.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t respond to Lu Yuanfeng’s words because she had to see the wound, not just see it but treat it well.
Her hand held onto Lu Yuanfeng’s uninjured left hand firmly.
She led Lu Yuanfeng to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency branch.
"Zhenyuan Escort Agency branch? Is it the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in the county?" Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes showed a bit of astonishment.
Zhenyuan Escort Agency was not only famous in the county; it was known even in Qianzhou Prefecture and throughout the South.
Lu Yuanfeng knew that Zhenyuan Escort Agency had escorts departing from the county every month to deliver goods for others.
But, what was Shuangshuang’s connection to Zhenyuan Escort Agency?
"Yes! It’s the Zhenyuan Escort Agency from our county. Fengzi, let’s go in first and talk!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Lu Yuanfeng followed Mu Shuangshuang into the house, a three-entry house, but there was not a single servant inside.
Moreover, since they entered, no one came up to inquire.
Lu Yuanfeng was almost certain that Shuangshuang was the only one in this house.
Before Lu Yuanfeng could voice his doubts, Mu Shuangshuang pulled him into her room.
Taking out a pile of golden sore medicine and wound medicine, she said, "Fengzi, take off your clothes, let me see your arm! These medicines were given to me by Grandpa Zhang when I left the village. He said he took great effort to concoct these, and they work really well!"
"Shuangshuang, I..." Lu Yuanfeng hesitated, unwilling to take off his clothes.
"What are you saying? You don’t want me to see you, do you? I’m not taking advantage of you; just think of me as a doctor!"
Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t realized yet that Lu Yuanfeng was afraid of her seeing his wound.
She only thought that the silly boy in front of her felt shy for not seeing her in a long time.
But when Mu Shuangshuang finished her sentence, and Lu Yuanfeng still didn’t relent, she realized the severity of the situation.
"Fengzi, tell me the truth, how did you get this injury? Did you not treat it?"
Mu Shuangshuang was very clever; the situation that Yuanfeng didn’t dare to show her definitely wasn’t good.
If it was as she first guessed, just an injury from training, why would he hide it?
"Shuangshuang, I’m really fine!" Lu Yuanfeng was on the verge of breaking down; he feared that he’d spill everything to Shuangshuang.
But he was a man; he shouldn’t let his woman worry about him no matter what.
"Lu Yuanfeng, do you take me for a fool? Don’t I know what kind of person you are? Choose for yourself: if you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll leave Xing City tomorrow and return to the village!"
Mu Shuangshuang cherished every minute, every second spent with Lu Yuanfeng.
She didn’t want to waste too much time on Lu Yuanfeng’s injury.
What she wanted was the truth!
A struggling expression appeared on Lu Yuanfeng’s face.
He knew that Shuangshuang was the kind of person who did what she said.
Having just seen her, even being apart for a moment felt unbearable; if she left, wouldn’t that mean taking his life?
Helpless, Lu Yuanfeng sighed and began to undress in front of Mu Shuangshuang.
The moment the wound near his right chest was exposed, Mu Shuangshuang felt like half of her soul was pulled out.
Lu Yuanfeng’s wound was blackened due to using stove ash to stop the bleeding.
The wound had scabs in some places, while others hadn’t.
And because it hadn’t been treated in time, the wound was already inflamed. The inflamed areas had even changed in appearance.
Seeing the distinct hole on his wound made by a sharp weapon, a sharp glance flashed in Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes.
No ordinary person could have hurt Fengzi.
However, the shape and location of the wound was not something an expert could do.
Was he ambushed?
This thought flashed by, and a shadowy aura instantly filled Mu Shuangshuang’s whole being.
"Fengzi, wait for me a moment, I’ll go boil some hot water and properly treat your wound."
But just as Mu Shuangshuang was about to leave, Lu Yuanfeng grabbed her wrist.
He looked at her with an expression full of reluctance.
"Don’t worry, I won’t leave. I’ll stay here with you!"
Only then did Lu Yuanfeng let go of Mu Shuangshuang’s hand.
When she reached the kitchen, Mu Shuangshuang washed the iron pot and boiled a full pot of water.
When the water was ready and slightly cooled down, she carried a bucket of it, added some salt, and returned to the room.
Lu Yuanfeng maintained the pose he had when he first entered the room, eagerly watching the door.
Seeing the familiar face appear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lie down properly, I’ll help you clean the wound!"
The stove ash in the wound had to be completely cleaned out, otherwise it could easily get infected.
Mu Shuangshuang had Lu Yuanfeng lie on a bed made by two joined tables, so that the blood would drip into the basin she prepared while cleaning the wound.
Wetness on the wound was not a comfortable feeling, especially since Mu Shuangshuang added salt.
As soon as the water touched it, Mu Shuangshuang felt Lu Yuanfeng’s body twitch slightly.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t have the heart to see him in pain, but all the dirt had to be cleaned out.
"Fengzi, bear with it, I’ll make it clean for you!"
Mu Shuangshuang gritted her teeth almost the whole time while cleaning all the dirt from Lu Yuanfeng’s wound.
She also instructed Lu Yuanfeng, "From now on, carry golden sore medicine and Hemostatic Medicine with you, don’t give it to anyone, and unless absolutely necessary, don’t use stove ash to stop bleeding!"
When Lu Yuanfeng left, Mu Shuangshuang had prepared a lot of golden sore medicine for him.
Used sparingly, it could last a year or two.
But he was injured, yet there was no sign of medicine being applied; it indicated that he had already given his medicine to others.
Almost every word from Mu Shuangshuang was a fact, and Lu Yuanfeng marveled at her intelligence.
At the same time, he felt incredibly happy.
What’s more joyous than having your loved one whisper all the things you need to pay attention to after getting hurt?
Lu Yuanfeng felt that probably nothing was better!
After the wound dried, Mu Shuangshuang began using golden sore medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine.
While applying the medicine, Lu Yuanfeng was in a much better state than before.
Mu Shuangshuang helped him bandage the wound, tying it securely with gauze, but when Lu Yuanfeng wanted to put on his clothes, she stopped him.
