Chapter 17
It was already late at night when Shen Yuexi and Feng Zhang rushed back to Daliang Village.

Back home, she first washed Xiao Zhuo's wound with clean water, and after the pus and blood were no longer visible, she sprinkled anti-inflammatory powder into the wound and bandaged it up.

But this is only an expedient measure, the wound is deep and only a doctor can handle it.

After everything was done, she sat at the table and talked to Xiao Zhuo about what happened in the county.

"I went late today, and all the pharmacies in the county were closed, so I can only buy these medicines. I will go to the city again tomorrow morning, and this time I must invite the doctor."

While talking, she took out the jade pendant from her bosom and returned it to Xiao Zhuo, saying: "After dawn, we will go to the city and sell the tiger skins and we will have money. I will return this jade pendant to you."

Xiao Zhuo took the jade pendant, put it in her arms without looking at it, and pushed the soup bowl on the table in front of her.

"For me?" Shen Yuexi glanced at Xiao Zhuo, reached out to touch the soup bowl, and found it was still hot.

"Drink this bowl of chicken soup." Xiao Zhuo seemed to seldom do this kind of thing, and his words were rather blunt.

Shen Yuexi didn't care either, Xiao Zhuo was the prince and probably never took care of others.She only ate half full before going out, but now she has run all the way and is already starving.He was not polite at the moment, and drank up the chicken soup in one go.

After eating, sleepiness hits my head.

She was about to go out to ask Old Madam Feng where to live tonight, Xiao Zhuo said coldly: "Tonight you will sleep on the bed, I will make a bed on the floor, and I have already boiled hot water, you go and wash up."

When he said these words, he turned his back to her, and Shen Yuexi thought that he was not used to two people living in the same room, and walked out.

"No, I'll ask the old lady to see if there is any spare room."

Xiao Zhuo turned around, looked at her and said, "The Feng family only has three rooms."

Shen Yuexi stopped, unexpectedly Xiao Zhuo even noticed this.

Mrs. Feng has a room, Feng Zhang has a room, and the last room is where they live now.

Now that the two are husband and wife, living apart will arouse suspicion from outsiders.

Although she is not used to living with other people, but seeing that Xiao Zhuo wants to sleep on the ground, she can't agree. This person is still injured and the ground is cold. If he accidentally catches a cold at night, it will be really troublesome.

"Forget it, this bed is big enough for the two of us to sleep in." She pointed to the bed made of stones and covered with wooden boards, which is big enough for two people to sleep in. "I sleep inside, and you sleep outside."

After making arrangements like this, she went to the place behind the curtain, and saw a wooden bucket inside, and a bucket of hot water beside it.

She quickly took off her clothes and stood in the barrel.

The sound of rushing water behind the curtain echoed throughout the room.

Xiao Zhuo stood by the window with his hands behind his back, the bright moonlight poured into the room, and fell on his moon-white figure, which was as clear as water, and looked even taller under the light.

After Shen Yuexi finished washing, she put on the coarse coat prepared by Mrs. Feng and walked out.

Xiao Zhuo turned around, his gaze stayed on her face for a moment.Her half-dry hair was scattered behind her, and a pair of clear eyes were set on her fair face, like stars in the dark night, burning and compelling.

Then he turned his face away, and said in a soft voice, "The night is cool, don't suffer from the wind and cold."

"I know," Shen Yuexi tightened her clothes and yawned, "I'm going to sleep first."

She took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. There was only a thin quilt on the bed. She pulled a corner over her body and curled up inside.

After traveling to and from the county all night, she was very sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as she got on the bed.

After Xiao Zhuo finished washing, he stood beside the bed for a while, looking deeply at Shen Yuexi, who was not in a good sleeping position on the bed.

As if afraid of disturbing her, Xiao Zhuo gently lifted a corner of the quilt, trying not to disturb Shen Yuexi, and slowly lay down beside her.

Just lying down, Shen Yuexi turned over and faced Xiao Zhuo.

The face so close at hand made Xiao Zhuo startled for a moment.

The quilt exudes a woman's unique fragrance, entangled between the two.

Xiao Zhuo moved out a little bit, but accidentally pulled the corner of the quilt.Shen Yuexi was startled awake, opened her sleepy eyes, and stared blankly at Xiao Zhuo in front of her.

She could hear the breathing between the two of them clearly.

The halo of the candlelight made the whole room warm yellow, and Xiao Zhuo Ruyu's complexion also turned into a warm jade color under the candlelight. He propped his head on one hand, pressed his fingertips between his eyebrows, and half of his narrow eyes Drooping, under the eyelids is a beautiful shadow cast by the eyelashes, and the lip color is very light, which inexplicably gives people a sense of vulnerability.

Although she had seen this man many times, she still had to admit that this skin was really pretty.

In the next second, Xiao Zhuo opened his eyelids quickly, and those unfathomable eyes looked straight at Shen Yuexi.

It was the same as the first time I saw it, the feeling of being stared at by a beast sent chills down her spine.

At this moment, I feel that what I saw just now must be my own illusion, who is Xiao Zhuo, how can I feel vulnerable on my body.

She hurriedly withdrew her gaze, moved inside, opened the distance between the two, and asked awkwardly, "But I disturbed you."

Her sleeping posture has never been very good.

Now that they are sharing the same bed, she is really worried that she accidentally touched his wound.

Xiao Zhuo shook his head: "No, I can't sleep, you go on sleeping."

Shen Yuexi suddenly thought that his wound might be inflamed.

With a jolt, she sat up and asked hastily, "Husband, what's wrong with your body?"

Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and pressed his brows with his fingers: "It's nothing, it's just a headache."

Shen Yuexi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, took off her shoes, came to the table, and poured him a glass of water.

"Drink some water first." After handing him the water glass, Shen Yuexi hesitated for a moment and suggested, "How about I rub it for you?"

She knew that Xiao Zhuo was extremely persevering, and he was able to make him say things that bothered him, which showed that he was already very powerful.

This man is also tolerant, seeing his tired and irritable face, she walked around behind him.

In the past, she stayed in the laboratory for several months, and when she was extremely tired, she would have headaches, and she would ask a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to take a look.Usually, the Chinese medicine practitioner would give her an acupuncture treatment and massage, the effect is very good, and she will recover soon.

But she didn't study medicine, so she didn't know how to stick needles, so she could only massage him according to the old Chinese medicine method.

Xiao Zhuo glanced at her, her eyes were bright and clear against the candlelight, shining like stars, as if there was a warm sun hidden inside.

Without looking at him, he lowered the hand between his brows.

This is the default now.

With a smile on her face, Shen Yuexi stretched out her white fingers to rest on his forehead, pressed it gently, and said in a low voice, "How is it?"

Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and gave a faint "hmm".Shen Yuexi's long hair hanging down was on his arm, it was warm and cool, bringing a numb and itchy feeling.

For the past few days, Xiao Zhuo has worked harder than her. He is on extreme alert and suffers from headaches, perhaps because he hasn't rested for a long time.

While massaging, Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo's black and thick hair, envious and lamenting his good hair quality.

Unlike her previous life, when she was busy doing research, her hairline receded very fast.Fortunately, after passing through this life, the original owner's hair volume is astonishing.

In the future, she will have to work hard to protect her hair and avoid falling into the previous embarrassing situation again.

One person concentrated on massaging, and the other closed his eyes to rest his mind. The room fell into silence like this. The candles on the candlestick made "cracking" sounds, and the figures of the two were reflected on the paper window, shaking with the wind, as if they were entangled together.

After rubbing for a while, Xiao Zhuo suddenly called to stop: "Stop, I'm much better."

Shen Yuexi couldn't believe that her technique was so clever?
