By the time everyone finished cleaning up, it was already dark.

There's not even a moon tonight.

It was gloomy and chilly.

The conditions of the village chief's home are limited, and it is impossible to put a charcoal basin in every room.

After half a day, the charcoal basin in the carriage had already cooled down.

Fortunately, the Luo Xiao family has a way!She took out the burning firewood from the stove, put it into a charcoal basin, put a kettle on top, and brought it into the room where Chu He was recovering from his injuries.

The hot water in the kettle kept rolling, adding an extra layer of heat to the whole room.

"Be careful to fill the firewood, it won't go out tonight." She brought another bundle of firewood from the kitchen, placed it next to the charcoal basin, and warned: "Remember to let some air in through the windows, so as not to get charcoal gas."

Xu Rongrong nodded: "Thank you, Sister Luo."

Having someone as careful as Mr. Luo Xiao and who knows how to take care of housework by his side makes people feel more at ease.

Luo Xiao rubbed his hands, knowing that he could not help much if he stayed, so he took Luo Yuqi to another room.

This room must have been unoccupied for a long time, and it was in a messy state.

There was a large bed against the wall, but it was full of sundries.

It was too late and there was no time to clean it up carefully.

She could only move the things off the bed one by one, choose two relatively clean mattresses and lay them on the bed, then put herself and her daughter's cloaks on them, and fell asleep hastily.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and vacated most of the bed for Xu Rongrong's master and servant.

Everyone had already sensed the weirdness of Yujia Village just now, so Mu Ai and Mu Lu, who were responsible for guarding, did not dare to take it lightly.

They parked the carriages one after another in front of and behind the village chief's house. People sat on the carriages and kept vigil for the people in the house.

The village chief's houses are lined up in a row, which makes it convenient for them to keep watch at night.

No matter who it is, if they want to sneak into this house, they can't escape their eyes.

"It's getting late, you should go back to bed early." Mu Rong looked at Xu Rongrong's tired face and felt a little distressed.

Xu Rongrong shook his head.

Although she was tired after a long day, she didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment.

All because she remembered what happened in the hunting palace.

At that time, Mu Rong was hit by an arrow in the chest and developed a high fever late at night. Even though there was an imperial doctor waiting by the side, he still struggled for a long time.

But here, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and we are in a strange foreign country.

If the same situation happened to Chu He again, she and Shu Qing would definitely have to work hard to treat it.

So he said: "It's not too late to sleep in the carriage tomorrow, but Lord Marquis, I have to go on a journey tomorrow, so you'd better rest early."

When Mu Rong saw this, he cursed in his heart: Do you think I am in the way?I won't leave!

Mu Rong did not move, but there were indeed too many people in this small room.

What's more, there is a strange atmosphere in the room.

Wen Yao had long been used to it, and at this moment he was calmly wiping the sweat from Chu He's forehead with a handkerchief.

But Shu Qing is different.

He didn't feel comfortable staying here, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Since you all want to stay here, I'll go. If Guard Chu has anything to do in the middle of the night, just call me!"

After saying that, he went to the main room.

The conditions are simple, but he has also been homeless for a long time, so the situation in front of him is not difficult for him.

I saw him putting two benches together, and then lying on his side with his clothes on.

In the next room, I could faintly hear Luo Xiao's singing to coax her daughter to sleep.

Although it was a little cold here, it was much more comfortable for him than he was in the house just now.

In addition, Wu Nong's soft words made him confused.

Shortly after Shu Qing left, Wen Yao also stood up.

She poured two cups of hot water from the kettle: "It's past midnight, and it must be very cold outside. I will go and bring some hot water to Vice General Ai and Guard Lu."

It is true to deliver water, and it is also true to leave here like Shu Qing.

Xu Rongrong ignored the girl's little thoughts. She nodded, thinking about the news she had just received, and asked again: "Remember to wear the hood."

Finally, there were not many people left in the house.

Just now, Chu He's shirt was completely taken off due to the suturing of the wound.

Later, considering the convenience of changing the dressing, I only put a thin coat on him.

In order to prevent catching cold, a cloak was put on top of the middle coat.

But for Mu Rong, he was still not satisfied.

He walked over and lifted Chu He's cloak up again, wrapping him more tightly, wishing he could bury Chu He's entire face in it.

Xu Rongrong frowned: "Don't bore him!"

Mu Rong coughed twice: "He is injured now. It will be bad if he catches a cold."

Xu Rongrong glanced at him: "I think you want to suffocate him to death."

Mu Rong: "..."

He has a measured hand, how could he be suffocated?

Seeing that Chu He's forehead was sweating again, Xu Rongrong walked to the basin stand and twisted a handkerchief.

But as soon as she turned around, she almost ran into Mu Rong's arms.

The latter's expression remained normal: "Let me do it. It's easier for me to take care of him."

Xu Rongrong looked up at him, her eyes flashing, but she still handed him the handkerchief.

Mu Rong calmly put the handkerchief on Chu He's face and rubbed it randomly a few times.

Soon, Chu He's face turned slightly red, and he must have become more pale than before.

Mu Rong felt a sense of accomplishment: "Guard Chu's face looks much better."

Xu Rong Renzong couldn't help but said: "If you rub it like this, you will become red."

Mu Rong: "..."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a low voice: "Water."

Xu Rongrong was stunned for a moment.

Mu Rong, on the other hand, quickly looked towards Chuhe.

Sure enough, the injured man lying on the bed was frowning and mumbling something.

Xu Rongrong was so happy that she quickly poured a bowl of hot water from the pot.

But because of last year, the pot was full of boiling water. At this time, the temperature was scalding and it was difficult to eat.

She was looking around anxiously.

Mu Rong saw this and felt a little sad in his heart.

Is she so panicked because of the man who took her life in the previous life?

Remembering that when he was hunting in the palace, he was seriously injured and tried all his tricks to win her favor.

But at this moment, facing Chuhe, she wanted to do everything herself.

Such a gap made him unspeakable.

He took the hot water from Xu Rongrong's hand with a gloomy expression, and then took a clean tea bowl and waded back and forth.

Soon, the water temperature dropped.

He sat back on the bed, supported Chu He with one hand, and slowly fed the warm water into his mouth with the other hand.

Perhaps he had been thirsty for a long time. Chu He drank large gulps of water, and occasionally a strand of water flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Xu Rongrong quickly wiped him clean with a handkerchief.

Her eyes were fixed on Chu He for a moment, as if she was afraid that others would hurt him again.

All these fell into Mu Rong's eyes.

He really wished that the person lying here was himself.

But, if it was really him, would she also stay by his side like this and do everything by herself?
