Cao'er squatted on the ground and cried uncontrollably. She didn't even know when she fainted. When she woke up again, she was wearing dry clothes and the scars on her body were covered with a thick layer of crushed herbs.
Cao'er was shocked. Someone had changed his clothes, and everything on him was seen. He almost collapsed for a moment and almost cried again.
Wen Ling opened the door and came in at this time, holding a bowl of medicine and a bowl of porridge in her hands. Seeing that he woke up, her expression did not change at all. She put the things on the table and asked him to come and eat in a cold voice.
"You, me, on me, it's you..." Cao'er swallowed hard, her face full of embarrassment.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Wen Ling knew what he meant and nodded, saying, "I helped you change your clothes. You have a lot of new and old wounds on your body. I applied some herbal medicine to help the scabs heal faster, but the wounds are not shallow and will definitely leave marks on your body."
Cao'er hummed softly: "Thank you."
Wen Ling's attitude towards him was still very cold. She pointed to the bowl on the table and motioned him to come over and drink the medicine and porridge.
Cao'er eats very slowly. The bitter taste of the medicine is hard to swallow and not acceptable to most people. Wen Ling looked at his brows slightly frowned because of the bitter taste of the medicine, and still asked the question in his heart.
"Are these injuries of yours related to Wen En?"
Cao'er shook her head slightly, and Wen Ling continued to ask: "Does Wen En's injury have anything to do with you?"
This time Cao'er nodded slightly. If Wen Ling hadn't been looking at him, she wouldn't have noticed his response.
When she applied medicine to Cao'er, she found that his body was not only covered with serious bite marks, but also with marks from being whipped and some burns.
The burns were not serious, leaving only some unclear marks. If Wen Ling had not been very careful, she might not have been able to see them. However, the location was a bit embarrassing, mostly distributed above the inner thigh.
Wen Ling had never checked Cao'er's background, but seeing that he was quite handsome and delicate, she thought he was a young man from a wealthy family who had secretly run away to find a lover. Wen En was not like a young man from a wealthy family, with calluses on his hands from hard work.
Originally, she thought they were a couple separated by their parents, but the scars on Cao'er's body clearly told her that things were different. Those scars on places that she was too embarrassed to talk about were not easily formed at other times except in bed.
Wen Ling couldn't help but feel curious about Cao'er's life experience. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Cao'er speak first: "Thank you. I'll leave when the rain stops."
"Leave? Aren't you going to pester Wen En to go back with you?"
Cao'er lowered her head, tears streaming down her face as she fell into the medicine bowl, making it taste even more bitter. "I've caused him so much trouble in the past. It was all because of me that he nearly lost his life. Wen En... Wen En is Wen En. Now that he's forgotten his past and has a new name, he deserves a new life. Knowing he's still alive is enough for me. You're a good person. I'll take care of his parents as a way of repaying him for taking care of me."
Wen Ling underestimated this weak-looking young man. She originally thought that once he found the person, he would pester Liu Guiyuan to restore his memory. However, she never expected that although he was crying and reluctant when he spoke, he was not as persistent as she imagined.
Wen Ling, as her name suggests, was quick-witted. She could tell that Cao'er was very secretive about her scars and didn't want to talk about them. She was probably afraid that Cao'er had suffered a lot, and her determination not to dwell on them was probably related to those scars. She thought for a moment and spoke slowly, "You really are like the grass in the mountains. No matter what kind of suffering you've endured in the past, from now on, I hope you will have a smooth journey."
Cao'er blinked, his eyes were swollen and painful from the heat, and he said thank you again in a trembling voice.
He was afraid that the longer he stayed, the more reluctant he would feel. He wanted to leave immediately after drinking the bowl of medicine, but Wen Ling forcefully pulled him to drink the bowl of porridge before letting him go back.
There was no one in the yard. Before Cao'er left, he looked around. Wen Ling saw what he was thinking and said, "Wen En is not here. He went to the mountain to collect herbs. If you want to see him before you leave, sit here and rest for a while. He should be back soon."
There was a sense of loss and reluctance in Cao'er's eyes, but it was better not to see anyone, so that she wouldn't feel reluctant to leave.
If I leave this herbal medicine garden, there will be no possibility for me to be with Liu Guiyuan anymore. From now on, there will be no Liu Guiyuan in the world, only a person named Wen En.
Cao'er was actually very fortunate. He was fortunate that he did not kill Liu Guiyuan, fortunate that he could still take care of his parents for him, and fortunate that he could meet such a good girl.
Cao'er didn't feel the road was far when he came, but when he went back, he felt that just walking out of the village took a lot of effort, and his legs were so sore.
While silently encouraging himself in his heart, he was thinking about how to explain it to the Liu family elders after returning so that they would accept it. After all, he was an orphan without parents, and he would be their child in the future.
Liu Guiyuan came down from the mountain and saw a thin figure walking away with his back to him from afar. He knew that this was the person Wen Ling brought back. He was just a passer-by and would leave if he left, but he didn't know why he suddenly called out to stop the small figure.
"Are you ready yet? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
When Cao'er heard the voice, he thought it was his illusion. When he turned around, he realized that it was not his hallucination. He opened his mouth to call Guiyuan, but when he saw the faint alienation on his face that was inconsistent with Liu Guiyuan, he swallowed his words back.
"Much better."
Liu Guiyuan looked at his pale face with worry, his heart aching: "But you still don't look well. Did Wen Ling know when you left? Also, did you find the person you were looking for?"
Cao'er didn't dare to speak, fearing that she would not be able to control the crying tone in her voice. She just nodded stiffly, not knowing whether she was responding to his words.
He was just like that. Regardless of whether they had memories or not, he was always kind to everyone. Otherwise, why would he mind his own business? Thinking of this, Cao'er forced a smile and said from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you, Wen En."
Thank you too, Liu Guiyuan.
Cao'er didn't delay and turned to leave after he finished speaking. Liu Guiyuan looked at his thin back and felt inexplicably distressed and empty in his heart as if something was missing.
What you say must be fulfilled. After Cao'er returned, she went to Zhaojiazhuang to find Yang Donghu and told him that she wanted to take care of the two elders of the Liu family.
Yang Donghu was worried about Cao'er, but he was still relieved to see that Cao'er was able to live a good life even if he was not looking for Liu Guiyuan. He gave Cao'er money, but Cao'er didn't want it. Yang Donghu knew that he couldn't force it on Cao'er, so he exchanged the money for something Cao'er could use and gave it to him.
Liu Guiyuan's hometown is near the town, not far from where Yang Donghu lives. Zhao Luochuan promised him that after he had settled down for the first three months, he could take him to see the grass on the main road.
