Chapter 136: The Widow with Many Troublesome People (4)
My uncle's family was also one of the culprits who forced the original owner to death.
Otherwise, the original owner would not have been so determined to die and would not even have made an excuse after being framed.
So Mu Zhou didn't intend to let the other party spend money to avoid disaster.
The fire gradually grew.
While no one was noticing, Mu Zhou was about to leave quietly, but when she turned around, she saw a figure standing under a tree, looking at her quietly.
Mu Zhou's heart suddenly tightened and he almost forgot to breathe.
Chu Jinyao!
Why is he here?
Mu Zhou stood there in a daze, his face pale, and he was urgently calling 0001 in his heart.
[The male lead is right behind me, why didn’t you remind me?! ]
Now that he has seen this side of her, how can she pretend to be a little white flower in front of him in the future!
0001 said calmly:
[The host didn't ask, and besides, I thought this was one of your methods.]
Mu Zhou was going crazy inside, but his face still showed a shaky and weak look.
She walked up to Chu Jinyao with difficulty, and her soft voice trembled slightly:
"General Chu saw it? That's right, I set the fire because I couldn't bear it. That was clearly the house that my father built brick by brick, and my mother filled it up bit by bit. That's where I grew up, and I couldn't bear to give it to someone else."
Mu Zhou smiled, but his sparkling eyes looked like he was crying.
When she spoke again, her voice was much calmer:
"General Chu, you can punish me however you want. I will accept it."
Noisy sounds began to be heard around.
Someone discovered a fire.
Mu Zhou ignored the loud cries and screams, she just lowered her eyes to look at the ground, as if she didn't care at all.
But at this moment, Chu Jinyao's gaze fell uncontrollably on the woman in front of him.
She was still wearing mourning clothes. The plain white linen material was a bit rough, but it contrasted sharply with her delicate appearance.
She lowered her head slightly, revealing a slender neck, the skin there was even whiter than the mourning clothes.
She doesn't look slim, but this plain dress makes her look fragile.
Perhaps noticing his silence, Mu Zhou frowned slightly, as if he wanted to look at him.
Chu Jinyao seemed to wake up instantly.
He pursed his lips, instinctively feeling disgusted by this inexplicable attention.
After narrowing his eyes slightly, he turned and left as if to cover up.
Mu Zhou was startled, and suddenly looked up at him, only to hear his cold voice:
"The team is about to set off. If you want to go with us, hurry up."
Mu Zhou's eyes lit up, he turned around to look at his uncle's house which was almost half burned down, and quickly left.
Behind me, my uncle and aunt were crying.
The house had to be renovated after it was burned down, otherwise there would be no place to live, but all the money in the house was taken away by Mu Zhou.
When they wanted to find Mu Zhou to get some money back, they found that she had already left the village with the team.
*
The carriage creaked as it moved along the avenue.
Mu Zhou was sitting in a small carriage with two wounded soldiers and a female doctor.
Doctor Chen is quite old and very kind to Mu Zhou. Mu Zhou also helps her change the dressings on the wounded from time to time.
After traveling for most of the day, Mu Zhou began to feel back pain. It was not until the evening that they stopped by the roadside to spend the night.
After simply eating some dry food, Mu Zhou got out of the car, rubbing his waist.
Coincidentally, the young general who sent Lin Yang back was also there. After seeing Mu Zhou, he asked her with concern whether she could hold on.
"It's a long journey, sister-in-law, if you feel unwell, please tell me immediately."
"Okay, thank you, General Feng."
Mu Zhou smiled faintly and took the water he handed over.
Feng Chu was shaken by her smile and scratched his head embarrassedly.
Not far away, Chu Jinyao, who was feeding water to the horses, cast a glance in their direction, his cold eyes revealing an indescribable meaning.
The next day, Feng Chu saw Mu Zhou rubbing his waist uncomfortably and took the initiative to ask:
"Sister-in-law, your back and waist are sore from riding in a carriage. Why don't you try riding a horse?"
Feng Chu was a scholar. When he first arrived at the military camp, he was not used to riding in a carriage. Later, he learned to ride a horse and found that riding a horse was more comfortable than riding in a carriage.
Because of his own experience, he tried his best to persuade Mu Zhou to try horse riding.
Especially after hearing that Mu Zhou could also ride a horse.
"Sister-in-law, riding a horse is really more comfortable than riding in a carriage."
Mu Zhou looked at his sincere face and finally couldn't refuse his kindness, so he reluctantly rode his horse.
He got into the carriage.
The little interaction between the two was not noticeable in the entire team, but Chu Jinyao could see their movements clearly through the crowd.
The young woman smiled shyly, and the handsome boy was enthusiastic and proactive.
Such harmony.
Chu Jinyao's sharp and cold eyes sank slightly, and his hand holding the reins tightened silently.
*
The original owner's father was a hunter. He taught the original owner how to ride a horse when he was a child, but he had not had any experience with it for a long time after he grew up.
His body still had instincts, and coupled with the slow speed, it wasn't difficult for Mu Zhou.
But after half a day, Mu Zhou couldn't hold on any longer.
Because her inner thighs were swollen from friction.
During the break, facing Feng Chu's enthusiastic request for approval, she awkwardly agreed that riding a horse was indeed comfortable, but was too embarrassed to tell the truth.
After all, the place where she was injured was embarrassing, and it was not convenient for her to tell the man outside.
After he left, Mu Zhou asked Doctor Chen for some medicine.
While no one was looking, she quietly walked around the crowd and went behind a big tree.
It was already late at night, and Mu Zhou was obviously looking around. Chu Jinyao noticed something was wrong at a glance.
His brows were furrowed, and his dark eyes narrowed dangerously.
*
Behind the tree, Mu Zhou saw that there was no one around, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly lifted up the hem of her skirt.
Her skin was delicate, and after riding a horse for a long time, the inside of her thighs became red and swollen.
Mu Zhou endured the pain and applied some medicine on the red area.
After all, it was an open-air venue, so Mu Zhou didn't dare to apply the medicine carefully. He just smeared it a few times and prepared to put down his skirt.
Before she could adjust her skirt, she heard some strange noises around her.
She was startled and immediately looked around vigilantly.
Just then, a hare escaped.
Mu Zhou patted his chest, took a few quick breaths, quickly adjusted his skirt, and stood up to leave.
Only after returning to the team did Mu Zhou stop looking like a frightened little white rabbit.
She glanced at the jungle behind her and raised the corners of her lips.
*
Not long after Mu Zhou left, a figure jumped down from the tree silently.
Then he left here in a hurry in embarrassment.
The moment before the figure disappeared, Chu Jinyao couldn't help but glance towards the tree.
That was where the woman had sat just now.
I couldn't help but recall that scene in my mind again.
Seeing Mu Zhou acting suspiciously, he became wary and followed him.
But unexpectedly, I accidentally saw her lifting up her skirt.
The panic at that moment almost exposed his whereabouts despite his great martial arts skills.
He forced himself to calm down, hold his breath and concentrate, and that's how he avoided being discovered.
Chu Jinyao returned to the team quietly, feeling complicated.
