Rebirth of the Return of Chu

The air in the mountains is very fresh in the morning, with the scent of pine mixed with the fragrance of grass and soil, and birds are chirping in the woods.

Mo Yu got up early in the morning and practiced martial arts in the yard, while Xiao Tao was busy preparing breakfast. Because the people guarding the mausoleum were all men, the job of serving Mu Chu could only be done by Xiao Tao and Mo Yu.

When Mu Chu woke up, it was already noon. Listening to the birds singing outside the window, he seemed to be back to the days in Kongling Mountain.

When Xiao Tao came into the room, she saw Mu Chu was awake, and hurried to the bedside: "Miss, are you awake? Do you want to get up?"

Mu Chu stretched and said lazily, "Well, get up."

After Mu Chu washed up and had breakfast, he went out to the yard to take a walk. As soon as he went out, he saw Mo Yu fiddling with something on a small table in the yard. He walked over and found that she was sorting medicinal herbs, which were all fresh.

"Did you pick this?" Mu Chu asked.

Mo Yu complained while working: "Miss, I can't tell what these are. Wang Xing picked them up early in the morning. He said that you know and asked me to tell them apart. Why do they look the same to me? Look at this, he insisted that it was some kind of grass and bupleurum, aren't they the same?"

Mu Chu looked at the two herbs she was holding and joked, "They are indeed different. This one is Ruiliancao and the other is Chaihu. They have different effects. One clears away heat and detoxifies, and the other can treat colds. Wang Xing is right. You still have to learn from him."

Mo Yu was a little depressed: "Miss, please forgive me, I am not interested in this."

Xiaotao was laughing secretly on the side.

Mu Chu was just joking, but seeing that she was taking it seriously, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, stop it. Where is Wang Xing?"

Mo Yu raised his chin slightly and gestured towards the courtyard gate: "Outside, it's said to be the young lady's courtyard, and he is a man so it's not convenient for him to come in."

After listening to this, Mu Chu turned to Xiao Tao and said, "Xiao Tao, go call Wang Xing in."

"Yes, miss, I'll go right away."

Wang Xing was patrolling the outer courtyard when he saw Xiao Tao walking straight towards him. Xiao Tao called him, "Wang Xing, the lady wants you to come in. She has something to talk to you about."

Wang Xing replied: "Okay."

He walked quickly to Xiaotao and they went to the yard together.

Wang Xing was obviously a little uncomfortable when he saw Mu Chu. He didn't dare to look up at Mu Chu. He didn't feel awkward when he was with Qin Yuanyi before. Now that he came alone, he suddenly didn't know what to say. He mustered up the courage to look up and said, "Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Mu Chu didn't notice him coming over. He was teaching Mo Yu to identify medicinal herbs. When he heard his voice, he turned around and looked at Wang Xing with a smile: "Wang Xing, did you pick all these? Do you know medicinal herbs?"

Wang Xing looked at Mu Chu's dazzling smile, which made his mind go blank for a moment. Yes, she was no longer the little girl who had just come up the mountain, but had become a bright and charming young lady.

After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, he immediately came back to his senses and continued, "I picked them. When the young lady was studying medicine in Peach Blossom Valley, the general ordered me to protect her in secret. So after following her for a long time, I got to know her a little bit."

Mu Chu was a little surprised: "So you were following me all the time?"

Wang Xing nodded: "Yes."

Mu Chu felt even warmer after listening to this. It turned out that during those days when she was angry, he had been silently protecting her.

"Wang Xing, from now on you can follow me to the mountains to collect herbs every day. You don't have to work so hard in the dark. You have to stay here for a hundred days anyway, so this is a good way to kill time." Mu Chu looked at Wang Xing and said.

Wang Xing still didn't dare to look directly at Mu Chu, so he lowered his head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the lady's arrangements."

On the third day, Mu Ge came in a carriage with Ginkgo and Taxue. Xiao Tao's eyes immediately turned red when she saw Ginkgo. She was a good girl, but now she looked like a withered skeleton with a dull look in her eyes. She went forward and hugged Ginkgo, not wanting to let go for a long time.

The strange thing is that Ginkgo used to be particularly concerned about people getting close to him, but this time, when faced with Xiaotao's hug, he did not refuse.

When Taxue saw Mu Chu, he was like a wronged child. He rubbed against Mu Chu's calf and kept crying, as if to express his grievance of being abandoned.

Mo Yu, who was standing by, saw this and said, "Miss, it seems that you were right to bring her here. She doesn't seem to be as afraid of people as before."

A cold murderous look flashed in Mu Chu's eyes: "I will make them pay the price."

Mu Chu ordered Yu Zhen to find a secluded yard next to the Buddhist temple in the backyard for Ginkgo to live in.

In the days that followed, Mu Chu took Wang Xing and Mo Yu to the mountains to collect herbs every morning, leaving Xiao Tao to take care of Ginkgo. In the afternoon, a group of people gathered in the yard to pick herbs, grind them into powder, and make plasters and pills.

Gradually, Wang Xing ordered his guards to join the ranks of digging medicinal herbs. Yu Zhen also brought his guards to join. The group of people were having a great time, and there was no longer the master-servant distinction as at the beginning. Mu Chu would still ask Wang Xing every day if he had any news, and Wang Xing would always answer that there was no news.

Mu Chu thought that no news might be the best news.
