He pulled up the quilt he had bought from the official and covered his head with it, his voice muffled.
"Mu Wanting, I... I can apply the medicine myself."
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, he lifted the quilt and saw that Mu Wanting had already gone to find wild vegetables and herbs with Shen's mother and the others.
