Volume 1 Ascending to the Realm Chapter 2 Sleep in your bed
The night was getting colder, and a thin layer of frost began to form on the branches of the trees outside the window, and the man in the house was tidying up, while the woman stood by and watched the man quietly.
"Mo'er, come with me to the capital tomorrow, I need you to help me carry some letters," Jiang Hong'er said.
“…… Okay," Mo'er replied in a whisper.
“…… By the way, you sit down on the bed, I have a little medicinal wine here to help heal the wound on your face," Jiang Hong'er said, but in this environment where men and women were in the same room, Jiang Hong'er looked a little uncomfortable.
“…… Thank you, Lord...... Thank you, Master Jiang Hong'er, Mo'er will come by herself," Mo'er looked into Jiang Hong'er's eyes for the first time and replied in a whisper.
"How do you medicate yourself? You can't see your own face," Jiang Hong'er said a little impatiently.
“…… Sorry, that's ...... I'm tired of the master" After finding Jiang Hong'er's impatient expression, Mo'er lowered her head as she spoke, showing a little fear.
"It may be a little stinging, bear with it a little" After speaking, Jiang Hong'er began to apply the ointment to Mo'er's face.
"......" Mo'er didn't speak, but closed her eyes, and the whole process was very quiet, just approaching a man so closely, which made Mo'er also look a little uncomfortable.
"How did you get the wound on your face?" Jiang Hong'er, who finished applying ointment to Mo'er, asked.
“…… Be...... ...... left by the previous owner," Mo'er replied, a look of fear in her eyes.
“…… If I'm not mistaken, you must have injuries on your body too, right? Jiang Hong'er asked.
“…… Hmm," Mo'er replied, looking down.
"You wait for me," Jiang Hong'er walked out of the room after speaking.
- Wait a minute...... Mo'er's previous master had also said this to her, but when she came back again, she brought a leather whip with her, as well as the pain and nightmares that lingered afterward!
"Could it be ...... this time," Mo'er muttered in a low voice, and a little tear seemed to well-up in her eyes.
…… After a long time, Jiang Hong'er returned to the room again.
"This is gold sore medicine, I bought it from the shopkeeper just now, you can apply it to yourself, don't ask more about the rest" After speaking, Jiang Hong'er left the room again, and when he left, he also instructed, "There may still be a little stinging when you apply it, bear with it, and tell me when the medicine is finished, I am standing at the door." ”
…… Mo'er was alone in the room for a long time, which was obviously something she didn't expect.
- Why is it ...... In this way, I am just a handmaiden...... An insignificant handmaiden...... Mo'er thought in her heart.
…… After about half a pillar of incense......
"Is Mo'er okay?" Jiang Hong'er asked outside the door.
"I'm sorry master, Mo'er...... It's going to be good right away......" Mo'er, who had been thinking about it just now, completely forgot about taking medicine, and just heard Jiang Hong'er's voice before coming back to his senses.
Mo'er, who came back to her senses, began to take off her clothes, exposing not only the tall and straight figure but also the wounds like cracks, on the legs, back, abdomen, buttocks, and arms, ordinary people can't imagine what such a girl who seems to be in her early eighteen or nineteenth years old has gone through!
…… After another long time.
"The host...... Mo'er ...... I've already finished taking the medicine," Mo'er got dressed and replied to Jiang Hong'er outside the door.
"Then take a good rest, you have to hurry tomorrow," Jiang Hong'er said to Mo'er after coming in from the door.
“…… Hmm," Mo'er said as she set up a bunk on the ground.
"Mo'er, you sleep on the bed, you still have injuries on your body, it's cold in the middle of the night, the floor is cold, your body can't stand it" Jiang Hong'er has completely recognized Mo'er's character, she has low self-esteem and introverted, and she has never even considered it from her own point of view, if Mo'er can't speak, then she may not even be a "person".
- "People" can think about problems for themselves, and they also have feelings, Mo'er, you should also live for yourself, you also have feelings, Jiang Hong'er looked at Mo'er and thought to himself.
"That's ...... Is it really good? Mo'er asked a little incredulously, but her voice was still small and weak.
"Sleep, you go to bed and lie down, I'm sleepy, don't bother me!" Jiang Hong'er turned off the lights after speaking, and then lay down on the floor.
“…… It's "Mo'er saw that Jiang Hong'er was already lying on the ground, and she had no intention of going to bed to sleep at all, so Mo'er could only lie on the bed as ordered.
- Could it be...... My nightmares are going to ...... Is it over? Mo'er asked herself in her heart......
…… This night, Mo'er couldn't sleep well, and kept repeating the picture from the first time she saw Jiang Hong'er to the present, she was still a little difficult to accept, she had just experienced a painful nightmare, but now for herself...... Is it a new beginning? Is it a good start?
