Chapter 168 Why Didn't She Come With You?

The scorching sun hung high at noon, scorching the earth almost to the point of smoking.

Lin Zi rushed up to the second floor in a hurry, when he saw the 'good work' on the face of the sleeping man, he froze for a moment, held back the smile that was about to burst out, and shook the sleeping man.

"My lord! My lord! Get up!"

Lu Jiuqing, who was sleeping comfortably, was awakened. The pain of hangover made his head crack open, and he rubbed his painful temples.

"It's so early in the morning, what are you doing?"

"It's late, my lord, it's noon, and the sun is already high!" Lin Zi helped the person who was still lying on the bed.

Lu Jiuqing leaned against the bed boneless, his mind was in chaos.

"Did someone come here last night?"

"Hey, Miss Chi is here, I don't know when she left." Lin Zi made a cup of cold tea to wake him up.

The thin figure behind the screen flashed in Lu Jiuqing's mind, he opened his eyes suddenly, his whole body seemed to be infused with the power of life, his head no longer hurt, his body was no longer weak, and he rushed behind the screen all at once.

The red skirt is hung on the sandalwood frame, the satin is soft and drapes, and the skirt is embroidered with fine crimson plum blossoms, fluttering with the breeze that blows in, like red flowers hanging on it, charming and flamboyant, making all the colors sad.

Is this Chi Ning's?
Was it Chi Ning who he saw last night?

Lu Jiuqing raised his hand, rubbing the red plum with his fingertips.

Chi Ning has been here, she took care of him last night.

Although he couldn't remember what happened last night, his heart still couldn't control the joy, and his lips and teeth seemed to have tasted a red plum, only sweet.

Lin Zi came behind Lu Jiuqing with a cup in his hand, he really didn't want to pour cold water on his lord.

Lu Jiuqing squeezed the corner of the skirt tightly, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around.

"Linzi, where is she now, I'm going to find her!"

This time, he wanted to tell her openly that his heart was full of her!
Even if it is clear that he will be rejected, he still has to say it, and he will definitely not expose it like last time!

Lin Zi knew who Lu Jiuqing was asking, so he told him weakly.

"My lord, Mr. Cui has brought someone back."

There was a dead silence in the attic.

Lin Zi froze instantly when he saw the joy on his lord's face, and soon disappeared.

……

outside the city gate.

inside the tent.

Cui Xingjue took off his shirt, revealing his lean upper body, and asked the old doctor to check his skin problems.

The old doctor squinted his cloudy eyes and looked at the festering erythema all over the boy's body for a long time. It looked like a fire burn, or it seemed that the wound was rotting without good treatment, but there was no multiple rotten smell.

It was the first time for him to encounter this kind of disease, it was a bit tricky, and he didn't know where to start.

Lu Jiuqing stood quietly by the side, the folding fan in his hand was held tightly by him, his veins bulging.

The young master is back, if Chi Ning knows, she should be very happy.

Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed.

Holding a basin of clear water, Tao Wanwan opened the curtain and walked in. When she saw Lu Jiuqing, she was stunned for a moment.

Lu Jiuqing glanced over in displeasure, Tao Wanwan quickly lowered her head, brought water to Cui Xingjue, her eyes touched the young man's thin and strong skin, her face blushed, and she lowered her head in panic.

"Young master, here is the water you want."

"Put it down." Cui Xingjue didn't lift his head, his expression calm.

Tao Wanwan put down the water basin, and didn't go out immediately, but quietly looked around the situation in the camp, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone else.

It seems that Mr. Cui's wife did not come.

"Why don't you go out?" Lu Jiuqing's tone was full of disgust.

Tao Wanwan pointed to the tip of her nose uncertainly, "You, are you talking about me?"

"Otherwise, besides the three of us, you are the only woman here. You have the nerve to stay here." Lu Jiuqing continued to fire, as if to vent his depression, but also for other things.

Tao Wanwan's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at the boy sitting by the bed.

The young man lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes curled up long, and his black hair fell on his shoulders along his white porcelain neck, making his exposed complexion even whiter.

The chest and flat abdomen like a well-shaped tic-tac-toe are irregularly scarlet, patchy like spots, faintly festering, not ugly, but like marks stabbed indiscriminately, broken and beautiful, which makes people feel pity.

She was in a daze, her heart was scurrying around like a deer, and it seemed that there was a missing piece that urgently needed to be filled.

Lu Jiuqing straddled her long legs, blocking Tao Wanwan's sight of Cui Xingjue.

Tao Wanwan came back to her senses, and looked at Shang Lu Jiu with disdain.

"Don't get out, do you want me to do it?"

Twisting his wrist, it happened that he was in a bad mood, so moving his hands might make him feel better.

Any cat or dog dares to covet the young master!
Tao Wanwan's face suddenly turned pale, and she hastily ran out with her head down.

"Chick" Lu Jiuqing pouted.

It's useless to have the guts!

Regarding what happened to the two of them, Cui Xingjue asked the embarrassed old doctor as if he hadn't seen it.

"Doctor, can this disease be cured?"

The old doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I heard that Young Master and others came back from Tianfeng Mountain. There are many insects and ants in the old forest deep in the mountain. I'm afraid they shouldn't touch them. Young Master, this may be a sign of poisoning."

"Is there any medicine to treat it?" Lu Jiuqing stepped forward.

The old doctor said: "This is the first time this old man has seen this disease, so I can only prescribe detoxification medicine first, if it can be cured, there is no need to use any more medicine."

Cui Xingjue put on his clothes, "Please trouble the doctor."

The old doctor bowed his hands and went down.

Lu Jiuqing said dissatisfied: "Is that old man a quack doctor? Leave an ambiguous answer! What if he can't be cured?"

Cui Xingjue felt relieved, "Just now he also said that there are many poisonous insects and ants in the deep mountains and old forests. It is normal to not be able to see the symptoms for a while."

"These I'm looking for are experienced doctors." Lu Jiuqing lingered, "If it doesn't work, I'll send someone to another city to find a doctor who can see it."

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Cui Xingjue remained calm, as if he was not the one who was sick. "Why didn't she come with you?"

Lu Jiuqing was stunned, shocked in his heart, but remained calm on his face. "Who?"

The young man slowly raised his thin eyelids, and motioned his chin towards the water basin.

Lu Jiuqing looked puzzled, and felt very guilty in his heart. He didn't dare to look at Cui Xingjue for too long, and he didn't dare to say more, for fear of making too many mistakes.

He knew how terrifying the young man's sensitivity was. When he massacred his enemy's family, the young man gradually deduced the reason for the murder, the modus operandi, time, escape route, etc. just by saying a wrong sentence.

Pretending to be calm and coming to the edge of the water basin, when seeing the reflection in the clear water, the corners of Lu Jiuqing's mouth twitched wildly and couldn't stop.

The familiar white face is covered with black ink. On the left face is a bastard with its head shrunk, and on the right face is a dog baring its big white teeth, with flamboyant handwriting on its forehead.

Written in seven large characters are 'little bastard's lackey'!
Except for Chi Ning, who else would dare to do this to him about such a shameful and life-threatening matter!
