Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 143 Red Mother Raised

"At the county government office." Chu Yunchuan stuffed Bai Zhi's hands back into the quilt, wiped them with a towel beside him, then picked up a glass of water, dipped his fingers on Bai Zhi's lips, and rubbed them back and forth. "I called a team of personal guards to guard the county government office and home day and night. Don't worry. Does your body still hurt?"

Bai Zhi twisted her body gently a few times and said, "Much better. I'll get up and move around. If I lie down any longer I'll get bedsores."

She reached out to Chu Yunchuan, wanting him to help her. But Chu Yunchuan did not take her hand. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves, gently lifted the quilt, and began to massage her: "You have been lying for too long. I will loosen up your muscles and bones, and you can move again."

Starting from the shoulders, to the arms, and then to the legs, Chu Yunchuan used just the right amount of pressure to dissipate the numbness in his body inch by inch, bringing his mind back to normal.

When Chu Yunchuan wanted to press for the second time, Bai Zhi held him down and shook her head: "That's enough."

Chu Yunchuan then put his hand behind Bai Zhi's back and lifted her up steadily.

Bai Zhi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest and hissed. Chu Yunchuan quickly asked her, "Does your chest still hurt?"

It hurts a little... No, it's better to say why it only hurts a little. Bai Zhi looked down at her chest in confusion - it stands to reason that the knife wound that almost pierced her heart would take at least ten days to half a month to heal, but it's only been three days and she seems to be almost healed.

Is the effect of internal energy so great?

"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Bai Zhi tried to take a deep breath. The wound was only slightly painful. She smiled and looked at Chu Yunchuan, "My physique is unexpectedly good."

Seeing that Bai Zhi was in good condition, Chu Yunchuan finally put down his worries. He took a small porcelain bottle and a stack of gauze from the small table next to him and said, "I'll change the dressing first, then you can get out of bed."

Bai Zhi obediently opened her arms and allowed Chu Yunchuan to unbutton her front. After the layers of gauze were wrapped around her, Bai Zhi saw this fatal wound for the first time - it was not scary at all, just like a red line painted on it, which would heal quickly if she didn't pay attention.

Bai Zhi sighed again: "I have a great physique."

Chu Yunchuan poured the dark red medicine powder in the porcelain bottle onto the gauze and applied it to the wound very gently. After a while, he looked up and smiled foolishly at Bai Zhi.

"Why are you so silly?" Bai Zhi said this, but she couldn't help but giggle. She cleared her throat and asked casually, "What kind of medicine is this? Why is the color so ugly?"

"Red mother raised."

Bai Zhi's eyes almost popped out: "Is there really such a thing?"

The legendary medicine that can bring the dead back to life and turn bones white only grows in places where no one has ever set foot. It is said that after it blooms, it smells like meat and is often eaten by wild beasts before people can pick it. Because the nourishing effect of the red mother is quite strong, the more this medicine grows, the more ferocious the wild beasts will be.

This medicine seems so mysterious, but it turns out it really exists?

"Qing County has many medicinal herbs, and Yangshan grows red mother-in-law, but it is extremely rare to see it." Chu Yunchuan picked up the porcelain bottle and shook it in front of Bai Zhi, smiling, "It just so happens that there is a red mother-in-law among the herbs harvested this year, and it is brought to the palace."

Bai Zhi understood: "No wonder the herbal medicine can pay off the debt, it turns out that there is also red motherwort mixed in."

Just raising one red motherwort plant can offset Qing County’s taxes for half a year.

"Then it seems that it's not my good physique, but the credit of Red Mother's care." Bai Zhi flicked the small porcelain bottle, "Qian Sui, am I so badly injured that you need to rub gold on me?"

Chu Yunchuan said nothing, just looked at Bai Zhi deeply.

Just this one look is worth a thousand words.

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and thought belatedly, if she really never came back, what would Chu Yunchuan do?

Ge Zhen has not been caught, and the Lin Mansion and even the Thirteen States are still in danger. What can he do? He can only endure the sorrow of losing someone close to him again. Even if he is heartbroken, he has to hold on and try his best to clean up the mess.

It's enough to experience this kind of thing once in a lifetime.

Bai Zhi reached out and touched Chu Yunchuan's chin, stroking his prickly stubble, and whispered, "Look at how sloppy you've made yourself. Go to bed quickly and don't wake up until tomorrow."

Chu Yunchuan clasped her hands tightly, rubbed his cheeks against them, and murmured, "Boss Bai, please sleep with me."

"I've been sleeping for three days."

"You still need to rest."

"Then I'll go out for a walk and rest. I need to catch my breath."

"I'll accompany you."

"No, go to sleep."

"Bai Zhi." Chu Yunchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Zhi pleadingly, "I'm not sleepy, please don't leave my eyes, okay?"

Bai Zhi immediately overturned her previous statement: "Okay."

After wrapping the new gauze around her, Chu Yunchuan put socks and shoes on Bai Zhi before letting her get out of bed. He then took out a thick cloak and wrapped her from head to toe.

Baizhi tried to take two steps - good, there was no problem walking.

Then she took Chu Yunchuan's hand and pressed him down on the dressing stool: "I'll clean up for you."

"Your injury..."

"Don't look down on Hong Muyang, Qiansui." Bai Zhi took off her hairpin and bun, let down Chu Yunchuan's long hair, took the wooden comb on the table and started combing from the beginning. "Besides, staying still all the time is not good for recovery, so moving around is good for you."

Weird and twisted ideas.

But Chu Yunchuan still let her do it. After combing his hair, he reached behind his head with both hands and pulled all his hair up high, so that Bai Zhi could use less energy and only needed to insert a hairpin.

Baizhi didn't know how to shave his beard, so Chu Yunchuan had to do it himself.

But after cleaning up, Chu Yunchuan in the mirror still looked haggard. Bai Zhi put her chin on Chu Yunchuan's head, hugged him from the back, and whispered: "I cherish my life very much."

Chu Yunchuan hummed and looked at Bai Zhi in the mirror.

"I know life is a very precious thing, and I will never give it to anyone. No matter what time it is, I will save my strength to live." Bai Zhi lifted Chu Yunchuan's head and kissed him on the forehead, "So don't be afraid, I will only die of old age."

"you swear."

"What?"

"You swear." Chu Yunchuan said, "No matter what time, you must live."

Bai Zhi followed suit and put three fingers together in front of Chu Yunchuan: "God is above, and the earth is below. I, Bai Zhi, swear here that no matter what situation I am in, I will try my best to survive and come back to see Chu Yunchuan in one piece. Is this okay, my lord?"

Chu Yunchuan took a deep breath and laughed heartily: "Come on, I'll go out with you to get some fresh air."

When she stepped outside, Bai Zhi thought that this door was connected to the gate of the provincial prison.

The guards in front of him were all wearing armor and holding spears, surrounding the courtyard tightly. When they saw Bai Zhi coming out, they all shouted in a loud voice, "Hello, Madam!"

Bai Zhi: “……?”
