Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family
Chapter 42 Collect My Body
Xiao Ruge was eating a bowl of taro balls with great relish while listening to Bai Zhi telling her about the second house.
After finishing her story, Bai Zhi looked at Xiao Ruge with admiration and asked, "How did you know that the fourth young lady and General Lu were both in that tavern?"
Xiao Ruge smiled, ate another taro ball, and then said, "I saw Lu Yu enter the wine shop."
Bai Zhi was stunned. "Did Miss guess that the Fourth Miss was also here because of this?"
Of course, it's not just because of this. Another reason is that the Dafeng Tavern is Lu Yu's property. If he wants to have a secret meeting with Xiao Mingyue, it would be safest to find his own territory.
And even if Xiao Mingyue wasn't there, what did it matter? At most, Xiao Mingzhi would have made a wasted trip.
But I bet right, Xiao Mingyue is really there!
But judging from Xiao Mingzhi's attitude, he probably doesn't like Lu Yu.
Now Lu Yu is only a sixth-rank cavalry captain, so Xiao Mingzhi naturally looks down on him.
Next, it depends on what Xiao Mingyue does.
Xiao Mingyue was under house arrest and could not do anything for the time being. However, the Xiao family did hire a new group of guards, and the defense of the entire mansion was immediately improved.
Among these people, only three were planted by Old Man Sun, and these three came to pay their respects to Xiao Ruge that night.
Xiao Ruge asked them to pretend not to know her and do their usual things.
Since Mu Gu left that day, he didn't show up for several days. Xiao Ruge was glad that he finally went back.
That night, she chatted with Old Lady Xiao for the whole afternoon and returned to her own yard after dinner. As soon as she opened the door of the dormitory, she smelled a faint smell of blood.
She stood at the door without moving, her eyes fixed on the bed with the curtains drawn.
Suddenly, a soft laugh came from the hanging bed curtain, and a slender hand lifted the bed curtain.
"Why is the Second Miss so defensive against me?"
Mu Gu's face was pale with a hint of unnatural blush, and his usually rosy lips looked a little dry, which made Xiao Ruge frown.
Bai Zhi quickly closed the door and looked at Xiao Ruge helplessly.
Why has this disaster come again?
What can I do?
Xiao Ruge looked at the smiling Mu Gu, turned around and told Bai Zhi to guard outside the door, while she moved closer to the bed step by step.
"How did you get in?"
The Xiao family has changed their guards, and the defense is much tighter than before.
Mu Gu leaned on the bed with a smile, looking at Xiao Ruge closely.
"You are the only one allowed to arrange staff for the Xiao family, but I am not allowed to do so?"
"I arranged for someone in the Xiao family to protect myself, what's your reason?"
Xiao Ruge looked at Mu Gu in confusion, thinking that this man was sick.
Mu Gu smiled, stood up, and slowly walked to Xiao Ruge, saying seriously: "Of course it's also to protect you!"
Xiao Ruge sneered, "Come on! You should think about protecting yourself first! Look at all the wounds on your body. I can smell the blood on you even outside the door!"
Mu Gu smiled bitterly, "There is no other way. In order to get some things, I have to take risks."
"So you got what you wanted?"
Xiao Ruge looked at him in confusion, not understanding what could be so important that would make him put himself in danger.
Mu Gu shook his head, a hint of regret flashed across his eyes, "No."
After standing for a long time, Mu Gu felt a little dizzy. He sat down on the table beside him, resting his forehead on his hand and closing his eyes.
Seeing that he looked a little tired, Xiao Ruge took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into the man's mouth. However, when she was about to withdraw her hand, the man grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Xiao Ruge, why are you so nice to me?"
In fact, Mu Gu wanted to ask this question last time, but he didn’t ask it out loud.
Xiao Ruge looked at him, thought for a while, and felt that maybe it was because they both died at the hands of Lu Yu in their previous lives, so they felt a sense of sympathy?
But it seemed not to be the case. She couldn't tell why, she just naturally helped this person, again and again.
"No reason. Even if a kitten or a puppy is injured, I will save it."
Mu Gu was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He exerted force with his arms, pulled Xiao Ruge into his arms, tightly holding her waist, and looking straight into Xiao Ruge's eyes with his deep pupils.
"No, you must have other reasons, tell me, okay?"
A hot breath hit her face. Xiao Ruge frowned and looked at him. She was not used to such close contact with anyone. She struggled hard to resist.
"Mu Gu, don't go crazy here! I saved you because you shamelessly stayed with me and refused to leave. I was afraid that if you died, I would have to find a place to bury you! Let me go!"
During the struggle, Xiao Ruge accidentally pressed on Mu Gu's chest. He immediately groaned, and then a bright red liquid flowed out from the left side of his chest, instantly staining a large area of his shirt on his chest.
Mu Gu clenched his teeth in pain, but even so, he did not let go of the hand holding Xiao Ruge.
When the pain subsided, Mu Gu put on a smile again and asked softly, "If I die one day, will you collect my body?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to collect your body? Let me go!"
Xiao Ruge was angry, she frowned and looked at Mu Gu.
The warmth of two hot hands on her back came through layers of clothes, and she broke out in a thin sweat.
"You just said that if I died, you would think of a place to bury me. Doesn't that mean you want to collect my body?"
The heavy and hot forehead slowly rested on Xiao Ruge's shoulder. The unusual heat made her feel that something was wrong with Mu Gu.
"Mu Gu, do you have a fever?"
The slender palm first touched Mu Gu's neck, and found that it was very hot. When she touched his forehead, Xiao Ruge was sure that this man did have a fever.
Perhaps because of the high fever, Mu Gu looked very obedient and stubborn at this moment. He just tilted his head and let Xiao Ruge touch his head.
"Xiao Ruge, promise me that if I die one day, you will come and collect my body, okay?"
Xiao Ruge felt that this person might have become confused due to fever. For such a person, one cannot use force and can only approach him gently.
So she coaxed and lied, "Okay, when you are ready to die one day, tell me and I will collect your body. But can you let me go first? I am not feeling well."
When Xiao Ruge said she was feeling uncomfortable, Mu Gu really let go of her hand. However, without her support, Mu Gu fell forward.
Xiao Ruge quickly supported him, lifted up the man's face and found that Mu Gu had fainted.
She sighed helplessly and thought to herself that she really owed him!
Then he carried the man on his back and gently laid him on the bed, tearing open his clothes to check his wounds.
Mu Gu's injury this time was more serious than the last time he met him in the mountains.
