Chapter 54: Applying Medicine



There are also many families living in the back mountain.

Lin Wu and Lin Wen's excited emotions and passionate voices attracted them to stick their heads out.

Because they were chased away by Lin Mo when they were watching the fun just now, everyone was too embarrassed to come out. They could only stay in the yard, clinging to the low fence and sticking their heads out to watch the fun.

"Hurry up and take it to the backyard. We'll have plenty of time to look at it later."

Lin Mo's indifferent expression turned into a gentle smile when he saw the scene outside.

Lin Wu's smile grew even brighter, his large white teeth dazzling. He stroked the black horse's neck and said with a grin, "Third brother, you picked a great horse. I heard people say this kind of black horse is so strong that it can carry things all day without getting tired!"

"That's right. And the horse isn't mean at all. No matter how I touch it, it never gets angry. It's just like our big yellow cow. It's so well-behaved!"

Lin Wen was small in stature, half a head taller than Heima when he stood up. He was running around so fast that the carrot-like bun on his head was about to come loose with excitement.

Even after the Lin family moved the carriage and belongings back home, those who were spying in their yard still had not recovered from the shock.

There was a luxurious carriage, a dairy sheep, and an ox cart at home. The most shocking thing was that the Lin family actually bought three servants!

If any one of these things appeared in any household, they would not be so shocked. After all, there were many people in the town who owned horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts.

But servants and other such things were only afforded by wealthy families! And now the Lin family actually bought servants. How much money did Lin Mo make, and how much did these things cost?

But Lin Mo didn't have time to care about the ups and downs of those people's mental journeys. He looked at the luxurious carriage and then at the simple and almost shabby straw hut, feeling helpless.

It feels like buying a top-of-the-line luxury car, but parking it in a dilapidated building in the slums. It’s so cramped and narrow that it just doesn’t fit in.

"Brother, when the workers start work tomorrow, please arrange for two people to come and build a new shed. This straw shed can't keep out the wind and rain."

Lin Sheng nodded repeatedly. Before, his family only had an ox cart, and the shed in the backyard was not built when the house was added.

Now these horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts are their family's greatest wealth and must be carefully taken care of.

"Brother, you should also apply this medicated oil. If you feel any discomfort in your body, please tell me." Lin Mo handed Lin Sheng a bottle of ointment.

After a pause, he continued, "The mark on Awen's cheek hasn't disappeared yet. Big brother, you can wipe it off for him later. I'll go see Mumu."

After saying that, Lin Mo turned around and went to pull Su Mu. Holding the rough little hands, Lin Mo rubbed them and took out a bottle of medicated oil from his arms.

He bought this when he was in the provincial capital. At that time, he was not very good at lighting the stove fire in the restaurant and often hurt himself, so he bought a few bottles of ointment.

The small square wooden box is inconspicuous, but it is very effective for scrapes, burns and bruises.

"Besides the wound on your face, where else are you injured? This ointment is very effective for bruises and burns. Tell me where it hurts and I'll rub it for you."

Lin Mo fetched some water to wash his hands, and felt a little distressed when he saw the obvious blisters on the rough little palms.

"How did you get so many blisters? What have you been doing these days?"

Lin Mo was a little annoyed. Su Mu had been doing hard labor all year round, and his hands were already covered with a thick layer of calluses. In this situation, he could still get such fresh blisters. He must have done some hard labor again.

Before Su Mu could say anything, Lin Mo picked up the wet face towel and carefully wiped his cheek.

As if she was afraid of hurting him, her hands moved lightly and slowly. They were so close that he could even feel the heat from Lin Mo's breath on his cheek.

Su Mu's face flushed, and he didn't dare to breathe. Although Lin Mo had a rough look at his body, he was unconscious at that time!

Being at this distance and having this kind of contact with Lin Mo, this was... this was the first time. He lowered his eyes, not to mention looking directly at Lin Mo's face, he didn't even dare to look at Lin Mo's body.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt? I'll be gentler then."

Lin Mo seemed unaware. Seeing Su Mu's body trembling and her face abnormally red, he thought that he had hurt Su Mu by using too much force in his hands, so he immediately slowed down his movements.

Su Mu was shocked. He was not sure how to respond to Lin Mo's natural and intimate gestures and tone. His breathing became tense and he stammered, "No, no... It's very light. I don't... It doesn't hurt."

Lin Mo took out the ointment and carefully applied it to Su Mu's face. He said in an unhappy tone, "Don't let others hit you in the future. You don't feel pain, but I feel so bad. Look, it's all swollen."

"Hiss~"

The cold touch made Su Mu make a sound subconsciously.

"You said it didn't hurt, so I put the ointment on you. It hurt so much that I couldn't bear it anymore. Don't let anyone hit you again. If you encounter something like this again and I'm not around, just run away and I'll teach them a lesson when I come back!"

Hearing this, Su Mu couldn't help but look up, just in time to see Lin Mo grinning hoarsely as he applied medicine to him, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of pity.

Those who didn't know would think that he was the one who was injured. Thinking of this, Su Mu's eyes unconsciously turned red. There was a cold ointment on his face, but his heart was warm.

Listening to Lin Mo's endless chatter, he felt his nose getting sore and his eyes were tearful. No one had ever treated him like this... never.

"Bear with it. This ointment needs to be rubbed into it with your fingertips so that it will be more effective. It may be a little painful." Lin Mo's low and magnetic voice sounded, which made Su Mu's heart tremble.

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt."

This little pain was nothing to Su Mu. The wounds on his body before were much more painful than those on his face. Being slapped was commonplace when he was in the Su family, and he was used to it.

It will be fine in a few days anyway, so it would be a waste of Lin Mo's good ointment.

"Why are you so stupid..." Lin Mo muttered.

Looking at the delicate skin, he picked up a little ointment and gently pressed his fingers on it.

Su Mu froze in place, all his senses focused on Lin Mo's fingers. The cold ointment carried the warmth of Lin Mo's fingertips, like a flame, burning his entire cheek.

All his nerves were tense and alert, feeling Lin Mo's fingers gently spreading and rubbing the ointment bit by bit, gently massaging the swollen areas on his face.

The force was neither too strong nor too weak, and gradually Su Mu began to feel comfortable. His tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he even squinted his eyes sleepily.
