"The market is open today, new comics are out!"
"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 29 Her Vow
"You won't understand." Mu Qing continued to taste the grass.
He ate and vomited, vomited and ate again. Fortunately, he finally found the purple bamboo grass before he was poisoned to death.
He pulled up all the purple bamboo grass, rode back quickly on his horse, and handed it to Doctor He.
Doctor He saw that his neck and hands had been scratched red and had formed a bright red rash. He frowned and said, "You need to apply some medicine."
Mu Qing said anxiously, "Please do your best to treat Xin'er first!"
Because the wound would not stop bleeding, Hu Xiner was already in a semi-comatose state, but she heard everything Mu Qing said clearly and was deeply moved.
She was actually very worried that something might happen to Mu Qing, and her lips moved in a daze.
"What?" Mu Qing moved forward and heard Hu Xin'er weakly calling Mu Qing's name.
"It's okay, I found the purple bamboo grass." He wrapped Hu Xiner's small hand in his palm and stayed beside him, watching Doctor He apply the medicine.
The simple bandage was removed, and applying the medicine inevitably affected the newly healed areas. Hu Xiner was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat and bit her lips tightly to keep from making a sound.
The warmth from Mu Qing's palm conveyed a strange power, becoming the only comfort.
Seeing that Hu Xin'er's lips were bitten and bleeding, Mu Qing felt distressed and gave her his other hand to bite.
Erdong came back with Mu Qing and watched at the door the whole time, frowning and not saying a word, and then left.
After bandaging the wound, Hu Xiner gradually woke up. When she opened her eyes, she was frightened by Mu Qing's "miserable" appearance.
His black hair was disheveled, and his fair neck and face were covered with large red rashes. One hand was covered with teeth marks, and the other hand was scratched in several places, all of which were broken and bleeding.
It is so tragic that such a handsome man was disfigured!
"What happened?" Hu Xin'er asked quickly, "Who bullied you like this?"
Mu Qing avoided looking around, trying to hide the rash and wounds, and finally turned away.
He must look very ugly now, and for some reason he didn't want Hu Xin'er to see it.
Hu Xin'er was anxious: "Speak up!"
She became more and more certain that Mu Qing had been wronged. She looked around with suspicion. Doctor He spoke first, "You did it!"
Hu Xiner recalled that when she was in a daze, she heard Mu Qing ask the doctor to save her first, and she was stunned.
Could it be that she was the one who caused Mu Qing's disfigurement?
"Can this be cured?" she asked worriedly. Mu Qing seemed to be very concerned about his image and had become withdrawn. "How did he become like this?"
Doctor He said slowly, "Your husband, in order to find the purple bamboo grass, did not hesitate to taste it himself, so he broke out in rashes all over his body. As for your hand, it was when he was cleaning the wound, and to prevent you from biting yourself, he used his hand as a human cushion."
After hearing this, Hu Xiner was deeply moved. She never thought that in this strange world, she must have accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to have someone willing to risk his life for her.
In this world, there are relatives who kill each other, and there are also people who are willing to risk their lives just for the health of one person.
Looking at Mu Qing with his back to her, her nose felt sore: "Is what Doctor He said true? Why don't you explain it to me in person?"
Mu Qing heard something strange in her voice and cautiously opened his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"
Hu Xin'er straightened his body and saw that he was wrapped up like a dumpling. She asked jokingly, "What's wrong? You just risked your life to save me, but now you don't even dare to show me your face?"
Mu Qing turned away angrily, and Hu Xiner noticed that his ears were red.
She pulled Mu Qing's ear, and Mu Qing shuddered: "What, why are you pulling my ear?"
His tone was icy, but it didn't frighten Hu Xin'er anymore. She chuckled and said, "Why? Can't I touch it?"
Mu Qing tensed up, "A man's ears shouldn't be moved. Let go!"
Hu Xiner laughed heartily: "Do you think you are Big Ear Tutu? I insist on touching, insist on touching, insist on touching..."
The world was spinning, and Mu Qing turned around, unable to bear it any longer, and pressed her hands to her sides with gentle and strong movements, perfectly avoiding the wound.
Hu Xin'er was shocked, her mind was full of "OMG"! She was actually pushed against the wall by the peerless handsome man and gentle husband!
Mu Qing was panting, and it was obvious that he was in a very uneasy mood at the moment. He seemed to have suddenly realized that the distance was too close. He was a little annoyed: "I told you not to touch my ears."
Hu Xin'er asked inexplicably, "What would happen if it touched me?"
Doctor He coughed loudly: "Cough cough!!!"
Mu Qing quickly returned to his original position.
"I've prepared an ointment that can neutralize the toxicity of the purple bamboo grass. Now, Miss Hu, you can apply it to your husband." Doctor He looked at them accusingly, "Just apply the ointment. Don't move, both of you."
Hu Xiner took the ointment embarrassedly. When she lowered her head, she saw the horrible tooth marks on Mu Qing's hand and recalled everything that had happened.
Normally, this person always does things silently. Even in this situation, he is unwilling to express his true feelings, but only shows infinite concern.
Mu Qing felt cool liquid dripping on the back of his hand. It was Hu Xiner crying.
"What's wrong?" He raised his hand in panic, trying to wipe the tears from her face.
"Thank you, Mu Qing." Hu Xin'er held his hand while crying, "Thank you for being so kind to me."
Mu Qing showed an anxious look: "Why are you suddenly so distant to me? Did I do something wrong again?"
"Silly boy, I'm not unfamiliar this time." Hu Xiner choked.
"Is the wound hurting again?" Mu Qing asked with concern.
Hu Xin'er shook her head: "Don't call the doctor."
Mu Qing clumsily wiped her tears: "Then don't cry, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm sorry, I won't let anyone bully you again."
Hu Xin'er pouted and asked, "What about the ears?"
"You can touch it, but I only let you touch it." Mu Qing whispered.
Hu Xin'er burst into laughter and said, "Silly! Hurry up and show your face. I'll apply medicine on you."
Mu Qing said gently, "No need, I can apply the medicine myself."
"I didn't expect you to care so much about your image?" Hu Xin'er muttered, "I really can't tell normally."
Mu Qing said seriously: "I didn't!"
"Are you worried that I will dislike you?"
Hu Xiner covered her face, she didn't expect that Mu Qing could see through her obsession with looks.
She touched Mu Qing's red ears and said, "Don't worry, I won't dislike you."
Only then did Mu Qing show his face. Hu Xiner stroked the red rash on his face. The itching was more torturous than the pain, but Mu Qing endured it and did not apply medicine until she woke up.
She said firmly, "Mu Qing, I, Hu Xin'er, swear that from today on, I will treat you very well and repay you for your kindness to me!"
"Silly girl, I don't need you to repay me." Mu Qing smiled and said, "You don't suspect I'm a bad person anymore?"
Hu Xin'er shook her head vigorously: "I will never doubt it again. No matter who you are, you are just Mu Qing who is good to me!"
