Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Chapter 17 Awkwardness

Qin Yuanyi was talking to Mingyue in the yard. The moment he saw Gu Qing appear holding Mu Chu, he suddenly became furious.

Just as he was about to explode, he saw something was wrong. Mu Chu's legs were tied with wooden sticks and his eyes were swollen from crying. So he immediately ran over, took Mu Chu and carried him into the room, asking, "What happened? How did you get hurt? Didn't I send someone to follow you?"

Mu Chu didn't want to talk and hated himself for being so self-indulgent.

Seeing this, Gu Qing continued, "Don't ask her. She must have been scared. She almost fell off the Tiger Roaring Cliff just now. Fortunately, the place where she fell was a gentle slope and was stopped by vines. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, it was only a fracture in her left leg. She just needs to rest for a while. I asked your shadow guard to go to Peach Blossom Valley to get medicine."

Mu Chu still didn't want to talk as it was too painful. After a while he heard crying voices. Xiao Tao trotted in following the black-clad shadow guard. She ran to Mu Chu and started beating herself while crying, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Beat Xiao Tao to death. It's all my fault that I was useless and didn't stop you."

"I'm fine, don't cry." Mu Chu was in too much pain to comfort Xiao Tao.

Qin Yuanyi said angrily, "I told you to keep an eye on your young lady, but you let her fall off the cliff. How do you want me to punish you?"

Mingyue next to him interrupted, "Go kneel in the yard and reflect on yourself. If you can't even serve the master properly, what's the point of having you?"

Qin Yuanyi didn't say anything, which was considered as his approval of Mingyue's approach.

Xiao Tao also felt guilty and stood up obediently, "Yes, I will go right away."

Mu Chu grabbed her sleeve and said, "Don't go. You are mine. It is not someone else's turn to punish you."

Mingyue was also angry, and could hear Mu Chu's dissatisfaction, "Miss Chu'er, are you talking about me? I am doing this for your own good. She is just a servant, and she should be punished for making a mistake. I also feel sorry for you."

Qin Yuanyi interrupted, "Chu'er, Mingyue is doing this for your own good, don't be willful."

When Mu Chu heard that he always defended Mingyue, he felt even more depressed and lost his temper at Qin Yuanyi, "Uncle, why are you mad at her? I fell by myself. What does it have to do with her? She didn't push me. Besides, since you knew it was dangerous, why didn't you follow me? I fell because of my own fault. There's no need to pretend. You should just care about the people you should care about." This was the first time she lost her temper since she knew him.

Qin Yuanyi was also a little confused. Just as he was about to say something, Gu Qing beside him quickly interrupted, "Sir, you all go out. Miss Chuer needs treatment, and I need Xiaotao to stay and help."

After hearing this, Mu Chu was stunned. Is Gu Qing trying to help him out?

Qin Yuanyi, Mingyue and the shadow guard went out together.

Gu Qing turned his back and said to Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, please cut your lady's pants, leaving the wound exposed. Call me when you are done."

Xiaotao immediately went to find a pair of scissors, but when she came back she didn't know how to start. Mu Chu took the scissors and said, "Let me do it myself."

He gritted his teeth and cut the pants, revealing his entire leg. His leg was swollen and there were bruises in some places. "Mr. Gu, please turn around. I'm ready."

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Gu Qing was still shocked when he turned around. He saw that Mu Chu's calves were exposed from the knees and her feet were without shoes and socks, without any scruples. He wanted to turn around and ask her to cover them a little, but when he saw her calm face, he felt that he was being pretentious, so he walked over with the medicine box.

During the treatment process, Mu Chu gritted her teeth and trembled. Seeing that sweat was pouring down her forehead due to the pain, Gu Qing took out a bottle of pills from the medicine box, poured one out and gave it to her, "Here, take it and you'll feel a little better."

Mu Chu took it and ate it immediately. Sure enough, the pain was gone within a quarter of an hour. He was a little impressed by the medicine and wanted to study it more, so he started to get close to him, "Mr. Gu, when did you start learning medicine?"

Gu Qing said as he applied the medicine, "I'm not sure either. I've been learning it since I can remember."

Seeing that he was a little reserved, Mu Chu said, "Mr. Gu, just treat me as an ordinary patient. There's no need to be so serious."

Gu Qing didn't reply, but nodded and began to carefully fix the fracture position for her.

After the treatment, Mu Chu looked at his tightly wrapped legs, which were comparable to the plaster casts now.

Gu Qing began to explain the precautions, "Miss Chu'er, remember not to walk around, you need to rest. I will come to change your medicine every five days. I will also have someone send some medicine over and ask Xiaotao to boil it for you to take orally. Apply this ointment to other wounds on your body, they should heal in half a month." After saying that, he took out a few bottles of medicine and gave them to Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao took the medicine and asked, "Mr. Gu, does Miss have any dietary restrictions?"

Gu Qing said, "Eat more meat and don't eat irritating foods."

Then he bowed and said, "Miss Chu, I'll take my leave now. I'll come to change the medicine for you in five days."

Mu Chu looked at him and said, "Thank you for saving me again today."

Gu Qing was slightly stunned, and his blue eyes became even deeper.

After Gu Qing left, Mu Chu propped herself up and prepared to lie down. Qin Yuanyi came in and immediately helped her lie down, then looked anxiously and asked, "Chu'er, does it hurt?"

Mu Chu turned his head away stubbornly and said, "It doesn't hurt, uncle, go and do your work, don't worry about me."

Qin Yuanyi's eyes were full of self-blame: "I'm sorry, Chu'er, uncle apologizes to you, I shouldn't have let you go to the back mountain alone. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought you wouldn't run around. If I had known, I would definitely follow you. I promise that I will never let you go out alone in the future and won't let you get hurt again."

Mu Chu himself was also upset and didn't know how to face it. He could only say: "It has nothing to do with my uncle. It's my own problem. I want to take a nap. Uncle, please go out."
