Chapter 10
He loves him so much.
Until the golden whip stopped, Xu Muzhou didn't say a word.At the beginning, some of the surrounding villagers still kept whispering, but later, everyone stopped talking.
In the entire narrow alley, only the sound of the whip falling on Xu Muzhou's body could be heard.
After the family law was executed, the golden whip was stained with a thick layer of blood, and Lian Qiu carefully wiped it with the fine silk handkerchief that he carried with him.It seemed that this whip was much more valuable than Xu Muzhou who was kneeling on the ground.
Xu Muzhou kicked the ground a little, straightened his back and stood up, cold sweat dripped down his temples, and his lips lost their color.
Only the leisurely calmness on his face remained unchanged.
Both Uncle Zong and Pei Yunchu hurried up to help him, but when they saw the bloody back, they didn't dare to touch it rashly.
Xu Muzhou reached out and took his own coat hanging from Uncle Zong's arm, put it on unhurriedly, and said softly: "Thank you for the lesson, Father, my son will always remember it in his heart."
"Uncle Lian, the matter is over, and you don't plan to sit in my courtyard, so you won't be far away."
Because Xu Muzhou was sweating, the hair on both sides was soaked, his lips trembled a little, but his voice was very steady, he didn't want to show timidity in front of Lian Qiu.
"Second Young Master, please take care of yourself." Fortunately, Lian Qiu really didn't intend to enter Xu's house, so that everyone would not have to worry about each other.
As soon as Lian Qiu left, Zheng Youdao and Xu Xuanyang went to see him off, and the crowd at the gate of Xu's house dispersed.Xu Muzhou turned around and stepped over the threshold, and the servants on both sides quickly closed the door.
Zhuang Bai, who had been standing in the distance, rushed over, and regardless of the watching of many people around him, he gently held Xu Muzhou's face and wiped off a little sweat from his forehead.
Xu Muzhou smiled at him. Although he smiled calmly, he could see that Xu Muzhou was trying his best to hold on.
"Uncle Zong, hurry up and ask for a doctor!" Pei Yunchu shouted, Xu Muzhou was a child that he lived frugally and could not be wronged and raised by others.
Looking at Xu Muzhou's back, even through the green shirt, the blood was constantly oozing, Pei Yunchu only felt that his heart was also bleeding.
Uncle Zong ran towards the door in three steps at a time, "Hey, I'll go right away!"
Zhuang Bai and Pei Yunchu each held Xu Muzhou's arm and supported him to walk.Zhuang Bai looked at Xu Muzhou's pale side face, and his tone was very soft, so gentle that water dripped out: "I really want to hug you, but if you touch a wound, you will hurt."
Xu Muzhou squeezed Zhuang Bai's palm, he didn't have much physical strength to say "the future will be long", but the warmth of their hands is already the best comfort.
When he arrived at the bedroom, the nurse Xu Muzhou lay face down on the bed, Zhuang Bai immediately took the copper basin and ran to the kitchen to fetch hot water.
And Pei Yunchu took a pair of scissors and cut the clothes on Xu Muzhou's back from the middle.
Pei Yunchu pinched the last layer of green shirt that Xu Muzhou put on, although his tone was reproachful, his eyes were full of pain.
He knows the children he brought up very well, on the surface he is gentle and at ease, calm and breezy, but in reality he is the most competitive, no matter who or what happens, he will never bow his head to show weakness.
Today, Lian Qiu came to enforce the family law under the order of his father. In front of so many people in the streets, Xu Muzhou must have been hurt, but the more it hurts, the more he has to act like it doesn't matter.
Even though his back was already dripping with blood, he still had to put on the outer cover perfectly in front of Lian Qiu's eyes. His movements were as calm as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
Pei Yunchu knew that this was also Xu Muzhou's silent declaration - what are family law and father's order?It's okay to fight, it's acceptable, but after the fight, he still doesn't pay attention to it.
This kid has always been like this.
Zhuang Bai came in with a copper basin, Pei Yunchu told him to close the door and window, and never let the wind in.Zhuang Bai then closed the door behind his back, and carefully checked the window, wishing he could even sew up a crack on the wooden frame immediately.
Pei Yunchu fetched a cloth towel, soaked it in warm water, and gently cleaned Xu Muzhou's wound.
The injury on the back was horrible, the flesh and blood were criss-crossed, bloodstains intertwined, and some fragments of broken clothes were still mixed in the flesh and blood.
Pei Yunchu used a pair of tweezers to pick out these foreign objects bit by bit.The debris stuck to the flesh and blood, and when the tweezers came out, they were already soaked in bright red blood.
Although it is a necessary part of cleaning the wound, this move really makes people hurt more and more.
Xu Muzhou was very stubborn, turned his head inward, and stubbornly remained silent.
On the other hand, Zhuang Bai's heart seemed to be on fire, stuffy, sore and painful. He squatted beside the bed, clutching the curtain at the head of Xu Muzhou's bed, and said involuntarily: "...be gentle. .lightly...”
This feeling is really strange, as if the softest part of your apex has been handed over to another person, and if he hurts a little, you will also be in pain.
"You really killed me." Zhuang Bai said while wiping the sweat from Xu Muzhou's neck and palms with a cloth towel.
After a while, Uncle Zong hurried over with the doctor.
The doctor checked Xu Muzhou's injury and said that luckily it was only a flesh injury and would not endanger the root cause, but the trauma was too extensive, and it might not be able to heal in ten and a half months.
All in all, just calm down.
"Doctor, will that leave a scar?"
This question was asked by Zhuang Bai, and he had no other meaning, but felt that it was a pity that Xu Muzhou's skin and tender flesh left scars.
He wanted to protect him well, not to be contaminated by wind and rain, and to keep his smooth and tender body naturally the best.
It's a pity that the doctor said that it would be good if the wound can heal and heal, and it is really a wild hope to not leave scars.
Applying Jinchuang medicine to Xu Muzhou, the doctor prescribed various medicines for internal and external application, and told everyone in Xu's house to take good care of him tonight, as the patient might have a little fever.
As long as the heat is not too hot, there is no need to be nervous. If there is any other situation, please inform him in time.
The old doctor has a long beard, speaks slowly, and is very quick in prescribing medicine and consulting the doctor.After the end, Uncle Zong thoughtfully sent the person out and paid a generous consultation fee.
As for Xu Muzhou's bedroom, both Pei Yunchu and Zhuang Bai are taking care of it. Tonight is the most critical night, and someone must guard the room.
Holding a handkerchief in his hand, Zhuang Bai wiped the sweat off Xu Muzhou's face from time to time, and muttered softly: "It's okay, the doctor said you're fine, and you'll get better soon."
His movements were gentle as if he was treating a fragile baby, "This is the last time, I won't let anyone hurt you in the future...don't care about the imperial whip."
"I can't even come here."
Zhuang Bai is not just talking about it, but a solemn promise.Although no one can tell, where does his confidence come from.
Pei Yunchu watched Zhuang Bai's movements while packing his medicine box. Xu Muzhou was on the bed, and he was asleep now. Even if his face was hidden on the other side of the pillow, Pei Yunchu could still imagine that someone had a bad look on his face.
How could he not want to be with him in the room?
Even if he had to stay overnight, it would be fine, just like when Xu Muzhou was young, his body was as brittle as a piece of paper, and a random fever would seem to kill him.
Pei Yunchu has been guarding all day and all night, but now looking at Zhuang Bai, he can only walk over and say to him: "Too many people crowded here is not good for him. You can stay with him."
"If there is anything, come out and call us."
That night, Zhuang Bai stood by Xu Muzhou's side, he didn't close his eyes for a while, he wiped people's sweat, adjusted the quilt, and occasionally touched people's foreheads to test their body temperature.
In the middle of the night Xu Muzhou had a fever, Zhuang Bai immediately moistened the handkerchief with warm and cool water prepared in advance, and put it on Xu Muzhou's forehead.
Afraid that he would be thirsty due to lack of water, he took a cotton ball and dipped it in warm water, carefully applying it on Xu Muzhou's lips.
"These lips are so beautiful." Zhuang Bai leaned on Xu Muzhou and rubbed his face against the pillow, "If you weren't asleep now...I would have kissed you."
But in the end did not kiss.I just watched it all night, and when it was approaching morning, I also lay on the bed and squinted for a while.
When he woke up again, he heard a faint noise from outside.
Zhuang Bai glanced at Xu Muzhou first, making sure that he was breathing smoothly, his temperature was stable, and he was sleeping peacefully, so he was relieved.Then he opened the door, intending to go out and have a look.
As soon as the door opened, I saw A Yuan in the front yard. Her eyes were red and swollen, like a pair of big walnuts. She must have been crying for a long time.He held something like a letter in his hand, and wiped his tears with the other hand.
Zhuang Bai walked over and heard Uncle Zong comforting A Yuan.
The child should be deeply blaming himself because he was not in Xu's house yesterday, and the young master was not by his side when he was being bullied.
He couldn't go into the bedroom to see how the young master was doing. He was half blaming himself and half worried.
Zhuang Bai walked to A Yuan's side and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, he's all right now. He had a little fever at night, but he's calmed down now, and he's sleeping soundly."
"Really?" The child's eyes were clouded with tears, and his face was crying like a cat's.
"En." Zhuang Bai nodded, then pointed to the letter in A Yuan's hand: "What is this? You want to give it to him?"
Taking a closer look, the envelope of this letter has the mark of "You's Piano Company", Zhuang Bai probably has a conclusion in his mind.
A Yuan obediently passed the letter in front of him: "...Yes, this is what the young master asked me to find. It should have been handed over to the young master by hand, but now...Mr. Zhuang, I will give it to you. When the young master is better, you can pass it on to the young master."
Zhuang Bai took the letter, folded it carefully, and put it in his sleeve, with a thoughtful face.
He didn't answer A Yuan's words, but took the person a little further away, and asked in the child's ear: "The "secret weapon" that Xu Muzhou mentioned is you, right? "
A Yuan's pupils shrank, as if she had been taken aback, she calmed down, looked at Zhuang Bai's calm eyes looking at the prey, and knew that the extra struggle was meaningless, so she nodded, "...yes... .”
