Chapter 547 Who will apply the medicine?
Meng Yunzheng agreed, then lowered the curtain on the window and stood at the doorway, facing the door panel, without saying a word.
No one noticed that his ears, hidden beneath his jet-black hair, had turned slightly red and hot when the rustling sounds came from behind him.
Shu Yu's movements were a bit slower because one of her hands was injured, but it was okay, and she was able to change it in no time.
She exhaled and looked up at Meng Yunzheng, "All done."
Meng Yunzheng turned around and saw that she was sweating on her forehead, clearly still a little tired.
He wrung out a towel and let her wipe herself, while he tidied up the clothes he had changed out of on the bed.
Shu Yu said, "We need to hide these clothes well, so they don't see them."
Meng Yunzheng nodded, wrapped her clothes in his outer robe, tied them up, and placed them at the foot of the bed, covering them with a blanket.
Seeing that he had finished, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes reddened and tears suddenly streamed down her face.
When Meng Yunzheng turned around, he saw her like this and was immediately startled. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
"You're still asking where it hurts? Do you even know how to apply medicine? You're so clumsy, you've made my injuries worse. Go away, I don't want you, it hurts so much."
Meng Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and couldn't help but chuckle, saying in a low voice, "You should at least have informed me first."
"I trust your resourcefulness, hurry up," Shu Yu urged him.
Meng Yunzheng sighed, nodded, took the medicine bottle, opened the door, and said to the village chief's wife, who had already heard the commotion and was pretending to work outside but actually eavesdropping, "Auntie, um, I'll have to trouble you again."
The village chief's wife immediately put down the rag in her hand, smiled and stepped forward, saying, "What is it, Young Master Yun?"
Meng Yunzheng glanced into the room and said to her, "My wife has a lot of external injuries, but I have a strong grip and I always hurt her when I apply medicine to her, which actually makes things worse. Auntie, you are a woman, so please be more careful and could you help her apply the medicine?"
"No problem, it's no big deal. Here, I'll have my daughter help apply the medicine. My hands are rough, but my daughter's hands are soft, so I promise she'll be gentle and won't hurt your wife."
"Thank you, Auntie. My wife just had a bad day, so she might not be in a good mood. Please don't mind if I said anything that was unpleasant to hear."
Meng Yunzheng was actually worried that the village chief's wife would ask too many questions, so he told her in advance that he was in a bad mood, so as to prevent her from provoking Shu Yu.
The village chief's wife waved her hand, "What's there to mind? I'll call my daughter right now." As she spoke, she called out a couple of times, "Huimei, Huimei, come here quickly."
When her daughter arrived, the village chief's wife said to Meng Yunzheng, "Give me the medicine."
"good."
Meng Yunzheng handed the medicine bottle to the village chief's wife, whispered a few words to Shu Yu, then closed the door and went to talk to the village chief.
Shu Yu leaned against the headboard, her eyes red-rimmed, one hand in a sling, her hair disheveled, looking truly pitiful.
Seeing this, the village chief's wife quickly sat down beside her and said, "Young lady, don't cry. The pain will go away after the medicine is applied. Come, tell me where you are injured, and I'll take a look."
Shu Yu wiped her eyes and nodded to the two of them, saying, "Thank you so much. I rolled down the hillside, and my back, waist, and legs were all scratched by rocks and branches."
