Down the mountain, Long Er was worrying. Because Ju Muer's condition is getting worse and worse.
Maybe it was because she was relieved from the extreme fright and relaxed, or maybe it was because she had been lying on the wet and cold ground for too long, and after going down the mountain, Ju Muer's face began to turn red abnormally. Long Er touched her face with his face, feeling that it was terribly hot.
Long Er came here on horseback, and Ju Muer's condition made him afraid to take her all the way back on horseback. As he was secretly anxious, he turned his head and saw Fuya's carriage parked aside, it was Qiu Ruoming's when he came.
Long Er didn't even think about it, he just waved his hand and asked his subordinates to grab the car. The servants at the government office didn't dare to speak, and watched helplessly as their lord's car was "requisitioned" by Long Erye.
Long Er asked one of his subordinates to go back to the mansion quickly and inform the mansion to find a doctor to wait. Then he carried Ju Mu'er into the carriage by himself, and hurried to Longfu.
Along the way, Long Er looked at Ju Muer in a daze of illness, and his heart felt like a needle. He couldn't help but blame himself for not turning his head around, and not thinking that she would hide under the bed earlier. With such an obvious thing, where else could she hide
He blamed himself for walking back and forth in that room, why didn't he think of calling her? There was chaos and noise outside, she was so frightened and terrified, she couldn't figure out what was going on, so naturally she didn't dare to act rashly. But if he calls her, she will know that she is safe when she hears his voice, and she will make a sound to lead him to find her.
He should be smarter, because he made her suffer more.
If he had thought of it earlier, she would have been less cold and less frightened.
The carriage flew towards Longfu, Ju Muer nestled in Long Er's arms, motionless. Her whole body was still stiff, Long Er stroked her back, whispered some comforting words to her, but he couldn't continue talking. He imagined her curled up in that dark and cold corner alone, listening to the sound of the door being opened, listening to the sound of robbers rushing into the house, hearing them being tricked and chasing after... what happened next? Is it the silence of death, or is it crying and struggling like those two village girls who are now seriously injured and dead? How long had she waited for the sound of chaotic footsteps and chaotic noise? This must have terrified her.
Her move is a dangerous move, extremely dangerous.
Maybe it will be seen through at the first sight, maybe it will be found after a while, or maybe no one will think of it after a few days.
If the robbers had discovered her earlier and moved her away, it would be difficult for him to find her. And she was numb and frozen, unable to call for help, and unable to leave by herself. If everyone thought she had run away and didn't think about it under the bed, wouldn't she be trapped there to death
The more Long Er thought about it, the more afraid he became. At this moment, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. When he looked down, it was Ju Muer who was holding the front of his clothes. Her little hands were frozen and weak, her eyes were closed, and she couldn't speak. But she still held onto his clothes tightly.
Long Er's heart moved, he stretched out his hand to cover the back of her hand, and hugged her tightly in his arms. Just a little bit, just a little bit, they don't know when they will get together.
The two of them remained silent all the way, he just hugged her, and she clings tightly.
After that, things were hectic.
Back at the Long Mansion, the doctor took the pulse to diagnose the disease, Ju Laopa was crying and crying, and Ju Muer was frightened, but she still held on to Long Er's lapel tightly despite being delirious.
In the middle of the night, Ju Muer became seriously ill and vomited all the medicine she drank. Long Er's face looked frosty, and the girl feeding the medicine trembled in fright. The doctor checked the pulse and was very worried, saying that if the medicine cannot be taken, it will be difficult to recover.
Father Ju volunteered, saying that he knew best about his daughter, so he came to feed her. But this Ju Muer didn't know why, her teeth were clenched and her mouth was tightly closed, her face was blue, her head was sweating, and she couldn't drink the medicine at all. The painful appearance made Ju Laodie cry in distress.
Long Er couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the bowl, dug open her mouth with a spoon, and poured it slowly.
Ju Muer scratched his hand uncomfortably, but Long Er didn't let her go, and he poured down the whole bowl of medicine. He said: "I know you are sad, but you have to drink medicine, and you will get better after drinking it. Be good, be obedient, I promise, I will make those wicked people double pay for the suffering you have suffered today."
Ju Muer was in a daze and lost her mind, but she seemed to understand.
She wept.
After staying up all night, Ju Muer's fever subsided.
Of course, the process of the fever subsides is the process of Long Er fighting with her. Others didn't dare to do it, so Long Er came in person. He forcefully poured medicine on her, pressed the thick quilt to cover her sweat, she struggled and she cried, but he turned a blind eye.
Father Ju wiped away his tears while rejoicing, fortunately the second master was more hard-hearted than him.
After a whole night of tossing, the doctor finally announced that Ju Muer had recovered, and said that as long as she took medicine on time and recuperated slowly, there would be no serious problems, and everyone was relieved.
When Ju Muer woke up, it was already dawn. For a moment she didn't know where she was, but soon she found her hand held by a big one. She didn't move, she remembered what had happened.
The one holding her hand was Second Master Long, she knew it.
That warm and safe feeling was always conveyed to her heart through his palm. At this moment, she thought he was asleep, because the palm had not moved.
So Ju Muer didn't move, she even closed her eyes again.
She slowly recalled what had happened.
She remembers the terror she felt when she crawled under the bed, the maddening silence in the empty room, how she tried to fold herself to be small, how she struggled to curl up, couldn't breathe, and she could even feel it clearly. The cool air on the floor seeped into her bones bit by bit.
She thought she heard the door open, but she didn't, and she realized that she was too scared to hallucinate that. She almost yelled when the real sound of unlocking the lock sounded.
She held back. Then she heard the robbers yelling for people to flee, and then several people rushed in. She knew she was shaking then, and she was afraid it would make a noise, but she couldn't help it.
Fortunately, those robbers fell for the trick and chased her in the direction where she threw the bamboo stick.
Then there was deathly silence again.
She felt that the time at that time was endless and would never end. She felt that she would die in the corner under the bed, either from freezing to death or being frightened to death, or no one could find her in the end, and she was trapped there to death.
After a long, long time, she was already stiff. Suddenly it was noisy outside, and she didn't know what happened. She couldn't move, she couldn't speak, and she felt that she would really die there. But suddenly she heard that familiar voice, it was Long Er's voice, he said: "It's me, I'm here."
Like the sound of nature.
Ju Muer suddenly felt that because of his words, she shouldn't implicate him. What did she think at the beginning? Why did she propose to him
He is stingy, vengeful, calculating, and naive, but he treats her so well.
Too good to scare her.
That kind of fear was as strong as the peace of mind she felt holding his hand at this moment.
She is crazy.
She died once, so she went crazy.
"What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
Ju Muer was startled, feeling that she was hugged into a hug. Long Er's voice sounded beside her ears, and his hand caressed her face, wiping away her tears.
It turned out that she was crying. Ju Muer simply hugged Long Er and burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't be afraid. They are all arrested, no one can hurt you again."
"Second Master, I'm actually not good at all."
Long Er frowned, did the two of them talk to each other again
"They hijacked you because you were not good enough? To eliminate harm for the people?" Long Er teased her, he didn't like her tears.
It's a pity that Ju Mu'er was not in the mood to make him happy this time. After hearing what he said, she cried even more sadly.
Long Er frowned again, so he had no choice but to be serious: "Okay, you cry first, after crying, you should take medicine."
Ju Muer's crying immediately weakened. Long Er smiled: "The medicine must be taken."
Ju Muer sniffled and stopped crying, and quickly fell into the bed: "I'm sleepy, let's sleep for a while." All those sad, sad, messy emotions disappeared in an instant.
Drinking medicine, it's terrible. How did she forget about this
At this time, a maid came in to report: "Second Master, Miss Ju's medicine is ready."
"Bring it in." Long Er looked at the girl who had fallen asleep on the bed with a funny look, and he pulled her up, "Drink the medicine! You let me drink it last night in a daze, but now that you are awake, you still need to drink it." Irrigated?"
When Ju Muer heard this, she didn't dare to make a sound. Long Er took the medicine and sat down, took a spoonful, blew on it, and took a sip to test the heat. The disgusting taste of the medicine made him hold his breath.
Ju Muer's face was wrinkled into a steamed bun, and she thought for a while to make a condition: "Second Lord, I'll go back after drinking the medicine, okay?"
"Where are you going?"
"Go home."
"Why?"
"I'm not used to living here, my eyesight is bad, it's inconvenient."
"You are not allowed to go home until you have finished drinking all the medicine prescribed in the doctor's prescription. Don't think I don't know. After you go back, Dad won't force you to drink medicine after being coaxed by you." Long Er exposed her intention. Ju Muer's face collapsed.
"Also..." Long Er said again, "Anyway, you'll have to move in soon, so take advantage of this time to get used to it. Or should I move you into my house so you can get used to it earlier?"
The maid on the side blushed slightly when she heard the teasing words, she pursed her lips and snickered, but Ju Muer was stunned, Long Er saw it in her eyes, and her heart moved.
"Drink the medicine."
This time Ju Muer didn't refuse anymore, she just frowned and swallowed the medicine as if dying.
After drinking most of the bowl, he really couldn't swallow it anymore, so Long Er gave up. He let the maid serve sugared plums to relieve the bitter taste in Ju Muer's mouth, and then stared at her and drank half a bowl of porridge before letting her lie down and sleep.
Ju Muer didn't say much, she was about to sleep with her eyes closed. Long Er bowed his head and said in a low voice that he was going to the government office to see how the robbers were going. Ju Muer's eyebrows twitched, and her eyelids moved.
Long Er sighed, stroked her face, and coaxed: "Don't be afraid."
Ju Muer nodded, and reached out to hold Long Er's hand. Long Er looked at her hands, remembering how she was holding on to his skirt tightly when he came back from saving her, he couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed her forehead.
Ju Muer was startled, and then quickly said: "I'm asleep." She let go of her hands, turned her back, and buried her head in sleep. Long Er looked at her for a while, then turned his head and asked the maid beside her to take good care of her, and then went out.
Long Er went out of the house, turned around and went to find Nanny Yu. He told Nanny Yu that the wedding date should be brought forward.
Aunt Yu opened her mouth wide in surprise: "But... But everything is prepared according to the original date, and this has to be done in advance, I'm afraid it will be too late. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and some things are not easy to handle at the end of the year."
"Mother, there is always a way. Let's have a happy event in the first month. It is also good to take advantage of the festivities of the New Year."
"First month?" Madam Yu was terrified, not counting the advance, and it was so much earlier! How can there be enough time to do it in the first month
