Chapter 1388 Meng Yunzheng applies medicine
Shu Yu was taken aback, then suddenly turned her head and looked at him with surprise, "A-Yun!"
Meng Yunzheng breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her haggard and tired face, feeling a little heartache and helplessness, "Luckily we made it in time, otherwise you would have been seriously injured. Even if you were in a hurry, you could have at least taken a carriage."
"I'm afraid it won't be time." Shu Yu's hands and feet trembled slightly. "Is my master still alive?"
"Here." Meng Yunzheng carried him into the courtyard, then turned back and called to Xia Yan, "Help Yingxi a bit."
It was obvious at a glance that neither of them could walk.
Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her master was still there, she nestled comfortably in Meng Yunzheng's arms and was carried into the courtyard by him.
When the courtyard gate opened, Shu Yu discovered that there were actually people inside.
An elderly woman was washing clothes in the yard. Upon seeing them, she quickly stood up and said, "Young Master Meng."
Meng Yunzheng nodded and carried Shu Yu into the house, while the woman curiously observed their backs.
Once inside the room, Meng Yunzheng poured her a glass of water and fed it to her. Then he went outside to fetch a basin of hot water and used it to wipe her face.
Shu Yu didn't need to move at all, since her palms were also chafed and her arms were trembling.
Looking at the red, swollen, and broken skin on his palm, Meng Yunzheng frowned deeply, somewhat regretting sending the letter.
"Are you in such a hurry?" He was a little angry, not sure if he was angry at himself or at her.
Shu Yu pursed her lips, unable to express that she had many questions she wanted answered.
For example, she wanted to know if her master knew she was a time traveler, whether he knew about Xiao Shuyu, and why he hadn't told her about her origins back then. These questions had lingered in her mind for a very long time, remaining a deep-seated worry.
That's why she couldn't wait to come here after learning about her master's whereabouts, but she couldn't explain it to Meng Yunzheng.
"Sorry, it won't happen again."
Meng Yunzheng looked up and saw her exhausted appearance, but ultimately said nothing more.
He went to get the ointment and carefully applied it to her. Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, and Meng Yunzheng looked up at her.
She gave a dry laugh. "It hurts."
Meng Yunzheng blew on the medicine and tried to distract her by saying, "After you finish applying the medicine to your hand, I'll go out and ask Aunt He to apply the medicine to your leg as well. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go down and make it for you later."
His hands were already rubbed raw like this, so his thighs must be even worse. But since the two weren't married, it wasn't very convenient for him.
Aunt He?
Shu Yu turned her head. "Is it that auntie in the yard?"
"Hmm." Meng Yunzheng nodded, his movements unusually gentle. "Aunt He lives in the alley in front. After I rented this courtyard, I hired her to do some work here."
Although Meng Yunzheng had Xia Yan as his attendant, Xia Yan's cooking skills were really not very good.
Moreover, he was busy running errands for himself, buying things, and gathering information, so he was rarely at home.
Meng Yunzheng hired Aunt He to help with laundry and cooking during the day, and she would go home to rest at night.
Aunt He is an honest and upright person, not very talkative, and she won't do anything she shouldn't. We've gotten along quite well these past few months.
Shu Yu nodded, and then asked about her master's whereabouts.
"It's in Zhongjia Village, about 30 miles outside the city." Meng Yunzheng said, having already finished applying the medicine to her, and got up to go out and call Aunt He.
Aunt He arrived quickly. Shu Yu originally wanted to ask more questions about her master, but seeing this, she kept quiet for the time being.
Never mind, applying the medicine is the priority.
