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 busy in the kitchen amidst the smoke and smoke that she truly settled down.

But this kind of stability 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.

Madam Luo Xiao quickly put her in his arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here, maybe you saw it wrong."

"Mom...that's right...really...only has one eye..."

Luo Xiao patted her daughter's back gently: "Don't think about it anymore. Mom will take you to eat later, and you won't be afraid when you are full."

In Chu He's room, the clan doctor was suturing his wounds with the assistance of Shu Qing.

Shu Qing had applied acupuncture to the injured area in advance, so although there was no anesthesia, Chu He still felt no pain. He closed his eyes and fell asleep without any pain on his face.

Half an hour later, the clan doctor finally pulled up the thread and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This little brother... I'm afraid it wasn't a fall, right?"

Shu Qing was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "It was a small incident on the road. He..."

The clan doctor waved his hand: "There is no need to tell me these things! But your little brother's injury is not serious, and he still needs proper care. Fortunately, the wound was treated in time. Now the wound has been sutured, so you can rest assured and recover. The medicinal materials we have here are not as good as what you applied to him before, and I only brought some medicine for golden sores, which may not be useful."

Seeing that he was unsure, Shu Qing asked casually: "I just heard from the village chief that there is a doctor in the village next door who can treat injuries. I wonder if there is any medicine for injuries there?"

The clan doctor raised his head, looked at him with a strange expression, and muttered: "There... I advise you not to go."

Shu Qing: "..."

Since there was no need to prescribe medicine, the clan doctor finished suturing the wound and walked out of the room.

The old patriarch who was sitting in the main room waiting saw this and hurriedly came out: "How is it? Can the injured nobleman wake up tomorrow?"

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

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

When they walked outside the door, the boy who had been peeping his head ran over and said to the clan doctor: "Dad! There is 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 and help."

The boy pouted: "It's not aunt, I saw it..."

The old patriarch knocked the crutch in his hand and shouted: "Er Ni, what do you think of your brother!"

The girl who had been huddled in the corner and peeked at Mu Rong hurried over after hearing this.

After being reprimanded by the patriarch, she did not dare to explain. There seemed to be tears rolling in her intact eye: "It was my fault. I was negligent and didn't take a good look at my brother. Sir, my brother didn't see anything."

"Yeah!" The clan leader responded coldly.

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

Mu Ai came over to help the clan leader: "Sir, I will take you back."

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

After Shu Qing reported the facts of what had just happened, he also described the solemn look on the old patriarch's face when he heard that Chu He was seriously injured and had difficulty waking up.

Wen Yao smiled and said: "This old patriarch is really a good man. He hopes that Brother Chu will wake up earlier than we do."

Xu Rongrong thoughtfully said: "Maybe he doesn't want Chu He to wake up early. He seems to be worried that we will be injured by Chu He and stay here longer."

When Wen Yao thought about it carefully, it was indeed true.

At this time, Mu Ai, who was sending the old patriarch home, also rushed back. He happened to hear what Xu Rongrong said, and he wondered:

"The people in Yujia Village are really weird."

"You say they are mean, but they even gave us the village chief's house to live in, and even invited the clan doctor to treat Guard Chu."

"But if we say they are enthusiastic, they seem to be chasing us away all the time."

He crossed his arms, confused.

Mu Rong glanced at him: "Can't you understand?"

Mu Ai nodded: "Yes."

"Then why don't you go check it out quickly?"

Muai: "Oh..."

Mrs. Luo Xiao brought noodles out of the kitchen and advised, "Vice General Ai should have something hot before going."

Mu Ai didn't want to, but to him, the words of the Marquis were like military orders, and he could only get down to business first!

So he thanked her and said, "I'll come as soon as I go. Sister Luo, just leave a bowl for me!"

Although it was plain noodles, everyone was hungry for most of the day.

This dinner was very delicious.

But Xu Rongrong noticed that Luo Yuqi hadn't moved a word.

She asked strangely: "But what troubles did you encounter?"

Luo Yuqi raised her bright eyes to look at her, then suddenly threw herself into her arms and cried "Wow".

Xu Rongrong was startled, and quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, hugging her: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

Luo Yuqi sobbed and told what happened when she was frightened by the one-eyed girl just now.

After everyone heard this, they felt horrified.

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

After he finished speaking, he felt a little weird, "There was a girl with a broken leg at the intersection just now, and there was a one-eyed girl just now. Why is it that none of the girls we met this night are healthy?"

After he finished speaking, Luo Yuqi immediately stopped crying.

Because she felt even more scared!

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.

As soon as he entered the room, he was frightened by Luo Yuqi's scream: "What's wrong?"

Mu Rong said in a deep voice: "Why have you been gone for so long?"

Mu Lu ignored Luo Yuqi and walked forward with a hint of joking on his face: "Sir, do you know who owns the Zhuangzi next door?"

Mu Rong looked at him and did not answer.

Mulu laughed twice, asked and answered: "That is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Zhuangzi."

"It's actually Huangzhuang?" Xu Rongrong asked strangely, "But since it's Huangzhuang, why do people in Yujiacun mention it in such a mysterious way?"

"It's not just the people in my village. When I went to Zhuangzi to investigate, the people there were just as weird. There was no talk between people, and there were no ordinary greetings. I also searched for a long time before I discovered that there was a strange place. His master is actually His Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Rong frowned: "I haven't heard the prince mention that there is still land in the south."

He then thought about it, "But this place is close to Jiangnan Daofu, and with Chang Jing here, it's not impossible."

He then asked: "Is there a doctor in the village?"

Mu Lu nodded: "There is indeed a doctor, and it is said that he is a master. But he never goes out of Zhuangzi, nor does he diagnose diseases for people other than Zhuangzi."

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 harsh person, it may be impossible to find medicine.

Fortunately, Xu Rongrong's medicine bag contains abundant medicinal materials, so there won't be a shortage for a while.

Mu Lu had just finished talking about the Imperial Village.

Mu Ai, who had gone out, also came back. His movements were much better than Mu Lu's, but his expression was very ugly.

Seeing this, Wen Yao quickly brought him a bowl of hot water: "What's going on, Vice General Ai?"

Mu Ai glanced at Wen Yaoyao's pretty face and frowned, "There are no normal women in this village."

Everyone: "..."

Luo Yuqi retracted into her mother's arms.

Muai added: "There is no normal-looking woman."

"There are more than 100 families in Yujia Village, but the total number of girls and women in the village is less than 20, and they either have broken legs or hands, or have horrific scars on their faces. The girl from the tribal doctor's family is blind He lost one eye, and the daughter of the family next door to him was blind in both eyes. I walked around and found no one with sound appearance."

After finishing speaking, he said worriedly: "Master Marquis, everything here is weird. Should we leave overnight?"

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

Her subtle movements were seen by Mu Rong, and he said solemnly: "Tonight I will keep vigil with you two. The rest of you can rest early. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Xu Rongrong raised her head and looked at him.

After a day of running around, Mu Rong was already tired at this moment, but when he met Xu Rongrong's eyes, he immediately put away his fatigue and smiled at her:

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