The door was slowly pushed open, and the footsteps of Chu Huai entering the room sounded a little heavy, he sat down on the edge of the bed, looked down at the gauze wrapped tightly around his chest, which was already soaked with sweat, and the blood oozing from the wound was like a blooming peach blossom on his chest.

He thought for a moment, reached out and untied the tightly tied knot, and the gauze fell on Chu Huai's leg, revealing his somewhat terrifying-looking wound. The skin around the wound looks a little wrinkled and a feeling of tightness. A small slit was slightly cracked in the middle of the wound that had already scabbed, and one or two small beads of blood occasionally popped out of it. Chu Huai reached out and touched it, and the blood beads melted on his fingertips.

"It's getting better." Chu Huai sighed silently, why was the mandarin duck angry......

There was a knock on the door, and Elder Green poked his head in from the unlocked doorway.

"Lord Chu Gu? The hot water old man put it in the house for you? ”

"Well, okay, excuse me."

The door was pushed wider, and Elder Green struggled to carry a large wooden barrel into the room.

There was a "bang" sound, it was the sound of the wooden barrel colliding with the wooden floor, and Elder Green rubbed his sore wrist, "Lord Chugu, the hot water has been put here for you, and the old man will not bother you, and leave first." ”

After saying that, Elder Green walked out without looking back, but I don't know if he deliberately wanted people outside to visit Chu Huai to take a bath, or accidentally forgot that when he went out, he forgot to close the door.

Chu Huai had to get up and close the door by himself, but before he reached the door, he saw the mandarin duck standing outside with his back to him, his eyes not knowing where to look.

"Mandarin ducks? What are you doing standing in the doorway? ”

"Master...... Yes! The mandarin duck, who had just turned his head, immediately turned his face back, "Master, why did you remove the gauze?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Huai looked down, and then remembered that he had already untied the gauze, and because he was thinking about taking a bath, he didn't put on his clothes, "I'm sorry, mandarin duck, I'm going to get dressed." ”

"No need, Master, you take a bath first, and I'll grind your herbs into powder and give you another medicine later."

"That'...... Then bother you. ”

"What are you polite to me, these are what I should do, Master, just stay in the room." The mandarin duck closed his eyes, fumbled the door frame, and closed the door for Chu Huai.

Chu Huai touched his face, listening to the tone of Mandarin Duck Fangcai, he didn't seem to be angry with himself.

So he relieved himself to take off the remaining clothes, stepped into the barrel with one foot, the warm feeling instantly climbed up his entire body along his foot, and soon he stepped the other foot into the barrel, he leaned on the edge of the barrel, let the water soak his chin, his body gradually relaxed, the comfortable feeling instantly spread in the pores, even if the wound on the chest when it encountered water, there was still a tingling sensation, but this was almost negligible in Chu Huai's senses.

Chu Huai closed his eyes and quietly felt this temporary comfort. It wasn't until the water temperature gradually cooled down that he slowly got up, walked out of the barrel barefoot, wiped his body behind the screen, and casually picked up a few clean clothes and put them on his body, but when he put them on his upper body, he draped the clothes on his body, revealing his strong chest and abdominal muscles.

At this time he thought, the mandarin duck should also finish grinding the herbs, counting this time, it won't be long before she should knock on his door.

Sure enough, just when Chu Huai walked to the bedside, a figure appeared outside the room, followed by three knocks on the door.

"Master, have you washed up? Can I come in? ”

"Come in, the water is already cold."

As soon as the mandarin duck entered the door, he saw Chu Huai sitting on the edge of the bed with his clothes open.

She hurriedly twisted her head to the other side and handed the herbs that had been ground to Chu Huai: "Master, why don't you dress well?" Quickly apply the medicine yourself and put on your clothes. ”

"Mandarin duck, won't you wipe it for me?" Chu Huai joked.

"Master, how old are you? When did you not wipe it yourself? ”

"That time in the refining room!"

"Master, don't joke anymore, I'll go out and wait for you." After saying that, the mandarin duck turned around and ran out of the house.

With a "bang", the door closed in front of Chu Huai, leaving him to look at the medicine powder in his hand.

You have to medicate yourself.

Chu Huai lay down on the bed, sprinkled all the medicine powder on his wound, picked up the clean gauze that the mandarin duck put aside, wrapped his wound at will, tied the knot, and when he was sure that it would not fall, he sat up again, put on his clothes, and walked towards the door.

"Mandarin duck, you can come in." Chu Huai opened the door and saw the mandarin duck lying on the railing, half-tilting his head, looking at the scenery in the distance.

"Are you dressed?"

"It's already dressed."

The mandarin duck turned around and saw that Chu Huai had indeed put on his clothes, so he bypassed his side and walked into the room.

"Just now, when I went out to grind the medicinal powder for you, I met Master Shu."

"Master Forgiveness? Did he say anything to you? ”

"Not really." The mandarin duck shook his head, "He looked like he was in a hurry, as if he didn't see me, passed by me, walked out, I greeted him, and he didn't respond to me." ”

"Is there such a thing? It stands to reason that Master Shu shouldn't be a person who pretends not to know anyone because he's in a hurry. ”

"Master Shu looks a little strange, he is wearing a completely different style of clothing than we have seen these days."

"But speaking of which, is today the day of the sacrificial ceremony that Master Shu told us? Could he be wearing the same clothes that he would wear during the sacrifice? ”

"Sacrificial ceremony? As soon as you said it, I remembered that since just now, Elder Green and Elder White, who were always dangling in front of my sight, disappeared after they finished bringing you hot water. I didn't think it was just now, but in this huge mansion, it was so quiet that it seemed that there were only the two of us left. ”

"Why don't we go out and have a look?"

"But Master, your injury ......" Mandarin Duck was still a little worried.

"It's out of the way, and it's not going to bleed anymore, so you can rest assured."

The mandarin duck wanted to continue to say something, but remembering that not long ago, Chu Huai said the words out loud to herself in the open space in front of the building, which made her swallow the next words back into her stomach in an instant.

"Then Master, I'll go back and prepare a little, and let's go to the street together. Do you know where the festival is held? ”

Chu Huai Wangtian thought about it, "I probably know the direction." ”

"That's fine, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you later, and see if you have anything you want to bring."

Chu Huai nodded, and the mandarin duck didn't even have time to drink the hot tea that had just been poured for her on the table, so she ran back to her room next door.

For some reason, Chu Huai found that since he came here, he sighed a lot more.
