After entering the house, Yunwen didn't say much, just asked me to help her upstairs. Bailu wanted to ask her something, but she waved her hand and said, "If you have something, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm tired today."

I smiled, knowing that this meant that Bai Lu could stay here for one night, without having to flee in the middle of the night. I said this on purpose. Sometimes, not saying anything is a blessing. How could Bai Lu not know Yun Wen's intentions? I immediately said, "Thank you."

So I helped Yunwen upstairs, and on the way up, Yunwen suddenly stopped and said, "I can't completely trust you, Sister Bailu. There is a piece of animal skin on it. Zhou Bo will bring it to you later. You'd better not come up to the area above the second floor. This is my last bottom line. As for tomorrow's matter, we will discuss it tomorrow."

Bai Lu came forward and said, "That's right. I'm a guest and shouldn't go into the master's bedroom. Besides, I have a criminal record, so I should keep my distance from you. I accept the arrangement, but Yunwen, you can keep the animal skins and other things for covering. These days I've mostly used dry grass and fallen leaves in the woodshed, so it won't be a problem."

"Then it's up to you." Yunwen replied.

After finishing talking, we continued to go upstairs and went back to the house. We helped Yunwen back to bed. She slowly sat down, and her tense face relaxed a lot. She sighed, but looked a little melancholy.

Of course I know that Yunwen is not the kind of person who would say harsh words. Those words just now were not what she usually said. A person who doesn't often say harsh words would feel uncomfortable if she had to say those words. After all, words are two-sided. If you hurt the other person, you will inevitably hurt yourself.

I understand her, so I know that what she needs now is a hug, recognition and comfort, which would be psychological care for her and make her feel better. After all, it was me who brought Bai Lu back, so how could I let her feel psychologically uncomfortable because of it?

So I sat on the bedside, put my arm around her shoulders and let her snuggle up to me. Her head naturally rested on my shoulder. Her long hair felt extremely smooth under my earlobes and even on my neck. I could also smell her pleasant scent. After a while, she asked, "Did I say something too harsh? Do you think I'm quite cold?"

"She hurt you so much before, but now you are willing to let her live in the place you and I built with our own hands. This is already a great forgiveness. It's just that you have learned to be smart, and you know how to use the bottom line to defend your own position. This is your progress, how can it be indifferent? As for whether the words were harsh or not, it doesn't matter. It's impossible to speak softly to everyone and say insignificant soft words. You should be harsh when necessary. You did nothing wrong." I said.

When she heard me say this, she looked up at me, and I turned my head and stared at her. She smiled knowingly, nodded, and said, "Hearing you say this, I feel much more relieved. I want to reward you for being so good at talking..."

Then she kissed me on the mouth. My lips tasted sweet and I could feel the warmth of her lips. I couldn't help but blush. Although we had been together more than once before, I was afraid that I would feel honored and flattered no matter how many times I received the kiss from such a beautiful lady.

I was savoring the remaining warmth on my lips when she asked again, "Then Zhou Bo, how are you going to arrange for Song Bailu tomorrow? Are you going to let her stay here, or have you already decided where to send her?"

"Here's what I think. If you feel better, I will let Bai Lu teach you how to prepare medicine tomorrow. Then I plan to send her to Diaolou Mountain, the Tuolou area, and help her find a suitable residence so that she can live there with peace of mind. If the place is clean, it can accommodate one person. In addition, I plan to give her some potatoes as a token of gratitude for saving us recently. What do you think?" I asked.

Yunwen sighed and said, "But the earthen tower is prone to virus infection. Besides, you have dismantled the light bulbs and other things before, so there will be no light there. What if we encounter some virus zombies or strange monsters? You should think about it again and see if there is a better way."

I figured it out, so I said, "The Jade Emperor Temple, Xiying City, Huoquan Old House, the mud house next to the pond, etc. are all good choices. Which one do you think is suitable?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Bo, you said that Song Yingchun had also abused Sister Bailu, and that you saw bruises all over her body. When I was waiting for you at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a lot of hyenas groping around. I thought about it and wondered if they were here specifically to find Sister Bailu. Do you remember what Song Yingchun said when she wanted to deal with you? She said that all the people who were good to her were gone. I think that's why she wanted to take Bailu back. If she goes back, she will inevitably be abused again. If she is sent away from here, no matter where she is, she will be extremely easy to be discovered, so I think..."

"That's right, now that the wooden man is dead, she must have started to remember Song Bailu's kindness again. Those hyena people were sent by her to find the man. It seems that there is no way to send the man away for the time being, unless we wait until this wave is over." I said.

"I thought so too. Although she was unkind to me, I don't want to be too unfair to her. Sending her away now would be like throwing her into a fire pit. No matter how cruel I am, I always feel that I can't do it. Besides, I also understand your feelings for me. I know that you don't have any ill intentions and you don't mind her that much. So I think I should wait until the time is right to find a good place to send her away. Just now when you went out to chase someone, I remembered a lot of her goodness in the past and I couldn't bear it, so I came to you for advice." Yunwen said.

I stroked her face gently and nodded. She let go of her worries and became much happier. Once she felt relieved, her appetite improved. She ate the potato pancakes I brought her and drank the cold soup. She didn't feel anything. After they were full, I helped her lie down to rest. I also cleaned up the dishes and found some animal skins. I took them downstairs and gave them to Bai Lu.

With Yunwen's permission and my acquiescence, Bailu stayed for the time being. However, Yunwen did not allow her to go upstairs. She would also pay more attention to my conversations with her, fearing that she might have some bad intentions towards me. Since Bailu was brought back this time, she has lost her former edge. She is busy every day with the daily necessities, taking care of various household chores, stewing soups and medicines, and taking care of others, and she does most of it silently.

If it was just one or two days, it would be fine, but for the next week, she did this almost every day, washing dishes, washing pots, stewing medicine, cooking, washing clothes, sweeping the floor, watering the fields, picking wood ear mushrooms, etc. She almost took on all the work. Yunwen and I could only pick up the work she left behind. Over time, I felt somewhat uneasy. How could we let this go on?

During this week, the hyena people came two or three times, but they could not climb up the wall and could only eavesdrop outside the courtyard gate. My hearing was better than theirs. When they came, I asked everyone to be quiet and resume our lives only after they left. I thought it would be difficult for Song Yingchun to take Bai Lu back.

Just as Bai Lu said, Yunwen's and my recovery abilities have indeed improved a lot. Two or three days after that night, our injuries were almost healed. Normally, it would take a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, and most of the time should be spent recovering. But somehow, in just a few days, we basically didn't feel any pain. Our arms recovered smoothly, and even the scabs were difficult to see. Yunwen also recovered in about the same time as me, and her body was completely fine.

Now that I'm well, I can't stop working. Yunwen and I can't compete with Bailu in housework, so we're busy with other things, such as making furniture, and making tables, cabinets, chairs, etc. We have a saw, and the wood left over from the previous wooden railings is in good condition, so we use it directly. We saw what needs to be sawed neatly, polish what needs to be polished, and splice what needs to be spliced. The mortise and tenon technology is used well, so it is basically very solid. If there is a slight deviation, we use the iron nails found in the underground factory to add an extra layer of firmness.

Until today, a week later, when I was planning to have a good sleep after a busy day, I heard a call from outside. It was the voice of the nine-tailed white fox Hu Lingshang.

"Zhou Lang."
