hard work

The side courtyard is secluded and peaceful, with scattered sunlight penetrating through the branches of the trees, the birds inhabiting here are chirping, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers is faintly visible.

Kutong, who had been asleep for nearly an hour, also woke up. He was leaning on the bed, with a smile in his eyes, watching the two of them bickering. Although his complexion was still pale, his spirit was much better.

"Hey, ma'am, are we going to quarrel with you?" A Yunben and Feng Qinghe were arguing in full swing, but suddenly remembered the quiet Kutong at the side, and asked cautiously.

Ku Tong quickly shook his head, and even smiled brighter.He danced and danced for a long time, signaling Ah Yun and the others not to worry about him.

Seeing Ku Tong's actions, Feng Qinghe couldn't help but laugh.The two of them didn't really quarrel at all, what they were arguing about was nothing more than trivial matters.It is rare to be able to quarrel with Ah Yun today. In the past few days, neither the bitter boy nor them have been at peace for a moment.

Now that Kutong's body has improved, his state of mind has naturally changed as well.

"Kutong, do you want some water?" Feng Qinghe simply sat beside Kutong and asked softly.

Ku Tong really thought for a while, then nodded.

Feng Qinghe smiled and fed him some warm water, at the same time, the sound of the door opening came from outside.

"Hey, the young master is back..."

This is Ah Yun's voice, and Ku Tong visibly trembled when he heard it.

Wen Huaizhou went straight to the inner room, saw Feng Qinghe sitting on Kutong's bed, and frowned slightly.Feng Qinghe is so shrewd, he didn't ignore this little trick, so he stood up frankly and made way for Wen Huaizhou.

But Ku Tong retreated into the bed unconsciously, his body began to tremble slightly, and he didn't dare to look at Wen Huaizhou.

His body is full of hostility, and others may not feel it, but I have had skin-to-skin contact with him, and I am Kun Ze's body, so it's hard not to feel it.

Wen Huaizhou originally stretched out his hand to hold Kutong's hand, but seeing this movement, he had no choice but to retract it, so he quietly held back the breath on his body, sniffed his body again, and sat by the bed after making sure that there was no bloody smell.

Ku Tong trembled even more, knowing that hiding like this was not an option, so he met Wen Huaizhou's gaze.

"You..." Wen Huaizhou didn't expect Ku Tong to accept him so soon, he was stunned for a while, but was pleasantly surprised.

Before Wen Huaizhou finished speaking, Ku Tong suddenly raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face with his wide sleeve.

After withdrawing his hand, Wen Huaizhou saw the blood stains on Kutong's sleeve, regretful and angry in his heart, annoyed why he was so careless.

"I... just went to Naxi City, and saw that the chickens raised by the farmer are good, so I killed them for you."

When Wen Huaizhou came to his senses, he realized that he was subconsciously defending himself, and carefully raised his head to observe Ku Tong's expression.

Ku Tong nodded obediently, looked at Wen Huaizhou, and waited for him to continue talking.

In fact, Ku Tong knew in his heart that these words were probably false, the bloodstains could be concealed, but the hostility could not deceive anyone, but he has never been a person who asks the truth, and he never wants to disobey Wen Huaizhou again, let him say what he says.

Seeing this, Wen Huaizhou became even more uncomfortable, scratching his ears and cheeks, and didn't know where to put his eyes, always feeling uncomfortable.

"Cough, I know that your body has been seriously injured. During this period of time, you..."

"Hey! Ma'am, here comes the chicken soup!"

Ah Yun's loud voice came from outside, interrupting what Wen Huaizhou had been holding back for a long time.

Ever since Wen Huaizhou came in, Ah Yun had been listening to the commotion inside, for fear that the third young master would take his anger out on his wife again.It's a pity that there was no movement after listening for a long time, and suddenly someone from the back kitchen came and said that he made a chicken soup to nourish his wife.Ah Yun didn't know what to do, but happened to hear the movement inside the screen, which was related to words such as "chicken" and "replenishing the body".A Yun slapped his head, maybe it was arranged by the third young master!Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

But the fact is that it was such a coincidence, it was just a few brothers in the back kitchen who had friendship with Kutong, knowing that he had been severely injured and collapsed from torture, so they hurriedly boiled some soup and brought it to him.

A Yun happily entered the room, but in the end, he saw the terrifying face of the third young master who gritted his teeth, fearing that he would draw his sword and stab himself at him in the next second...

Ayun swallowed, but put the bowl of chicken soup on the table as if asking for credit: "Ahem, I didn't intend to disturb the third young master and his wife, but the back kitchen has already brought the chicken soup, and I'm afraid it will be cold." Madam, if you drink it, it won't have much effect."

These words were cleverly answered, thanks to Ah Yun who listened to most of Wen Huaizhou's words, otherwise his life would really be in danger.

When Ku Tong saw this, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Wen Huaizhou really went to kill a chicken... He looked at him with gratitude in his eyes.

Wen Huaizhou obviously also saw Ku Tong's expression, he didn't care if he was angry or not, his back straightened a lot.Since he was acting, he had to do it all, so he nodded seriously and said: "Well, I got it, let's step down."

Ah Yun was delighted in his heart, he really made himself smart once, nodded and bowed and went out.

Wen Huaizhou was not annoyed when he was interrupted, but actually picked up the bowl of chicken soup, as if he was going to feed the bitter boy.

How dare Ku Tong, he waved his hands and shook his head, for fear that Wen Huaizhou would really condescend to give him medicine.

When Wen Huaizhou saw this, he felt upset, his face sank, but he stubbornly moved the bowl of soup up and down, trying not to let Kutong touch it.

But Ku Tong really didn't dare to be served by Wen Huaizhou like this, he was still a little afraid of this person, and the shadow of that day hadn't dissipated yet.Secondly, he is indeed not the kind of master who likes to be served by others. It doesn't matter whether he is not used to it or he is not blessed to enjoy it. In short, he is not at ease.

He was anxious and subconsciously opened his mouth to speak.

Unexpectedly, Wen Huaizhou was so anxious and angry when he saw this, he jumped up and yelled: "Young master is so unhappy to serve you? You have to make yourself so pitiful! This young master is Serving you is not to kill you! How can there be so many people who are willing or not!"

Ku Tong was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not look at him anymore.

He still has lingering fears in his heart. He really can't forget the discomfort, grievance, humiliation, and despair when he was punished in full view that day. He even thought about it, but he was unwilling.And this source of evil is now in front of his eyes, and he has actually developed resentment towards him.Maybe he is really not a good disciple, still unable to let go of emotions and desires, and still unable to endure the worldly world and save all sentient beings.

He even wanted to "kill" the person in front of him, or everyone in the Wen residence.This was never thought of by the bitter boy before. After waking up, he hated himself for having such a thought, but fell into a deep confusion.

But Wen Huaizhou was able to appear in front of his eyes again as if nothing had happened.Sometimes he really doesn't understand what Wen Huaizhou thinks. He obviously doesn't like him, but he always comes here to please him.

Kutong doesn't understand, neither does Wen Huaizhou.

After saying these words, he saw Ku Tong's frightened expression. He knew that he was outspoken, and he even knew that he would regret it after saying these words.But for some reason, Wen Huaizhou has been smart all his life, but he becomes ignorant every time he encounters things about poor children.

But at this moment, the deep regret in his heart couldn't be concealed. He felt very uncomfortable looking at Ku Tong's appearance, but he just wanted to tell him that this idiot should stop talking, or he would...

distressed?

Maybe so, but Wen Huaizhou is still not sure, after all, he has never felt this kind of mood before.

He was silent for a long time, the chicken soup bowl was still warm, but he was really afraid that the chicken soup would cool down, so he handed it in front of Kutong: "Drink it yourself."

Although he stretched out his hand, his eyes didn't look at him.

Ku Tong came back to his senses, and quickly picked up the bowl of soup. His hands were shaking from fear or his muscles hadn't recovered. He was indeed a bit unsteady, but without any hesitation, he put his head down and drank the bowl of soup for a while. clean.

He didn't even pause for a moment, lest Wen Huaizhou would blame himself for this.

Wen Huaizhou gritted his teeth secretly, and resisted not cutting the bowl of soup for him, lest he would choke to death if he drank it so fast, but he didn't dare to say a word again.

What he was afraid of was that Kutong was afraid of him.

When the bowl was finished, Kutong still handed the bowl of soup to Wen Huaizhou with shaking hands, but because he drank too fast, he coughed uncontrollably.

Wen Huaizhou glared angrily, really out of breath, but couldn't utter a word of reproach.Hurry up and sit next to Kutong for him.

But Kutong was still extremely uncomfortable, black and red blood flowed from the sleeve covering his mouth, Wen Huaizhou was shocked to see it.

"You...!" Wen Huaizhou was anxious and angry, and called out to A Yun outside, "Come on! Come on! Find Dr. Xu! Go!"

Unexpectedly, the person beside him gently tugged at his sleeve, forced a smile, and shook his head slightly at Wen Huaizhou.

Seeing this scene, Wen Huaizhou's heart clenched into a ball.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and spoke softly and restrainedly to Kutong: "Be obedient."

Ku Tong couldn't resist Wen Huaizhou, so he could only smile dumbly.To be honest, Kutong's heart and lung cough was quite uncomfortable, but he just didn't want Wen Huaizhou to know...

After all, that dark night was the nightmare of Kutong's life, and he didn't want others to know about it, and he didn't want to mention it to anyone.

Wen Huaizhou carefully held Ku Tong in his arms, hoping that Dr. Xu would come soon, while carefully checking Ku Tong's condition.

Fortunately, apart from his pale face, Ku Tong was fine.He also leaned against Wen Huaizhou's arms quite weakly. Although he was afraid of this person, he seemed to release a different breath, making the bitter boy warm and at ease.

It seems to be as hot as a hot spring on a glacier, but it makes Ku Tong feel soft and warm, and unconsciously indulges in it.

Under Wen Huaizhou's comfort, Kutong gradually became comfortable, even a little drowsy.But Dr. Xu came at the right time, out of breath, and Ah Yun didn't dare to neglect, he dragged him straight to the inner room, there was quite a commotion.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them entered, the first thing they saw was Wen Huaizhou's warning eyes, his brows and eyes were sharp, and he made a gesture of silencing them.

Xu Zekang glanced at the drowsy Kutong next to Wen Huaizhou, and he knew it in his heart, but he also went straight to feel his pulse.

Just happened to see the blood on Ku Tong's sleeve, so he glared at Wen Huaizhou.

Wen Huaizhou silently complied, focusing on Ku Tong.After Xu Zekang took the pulse, he shook his head slightly, but did not speak, and sat aside to write the prescription.

After finishing writing, he left in a hurry.Wen Huaizhou picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was the same as the prescription in the morning, except that Xu Zekang still left a line at the bottom:

Let him rest and don't bother him.

Wen Huaizhou was quite speechless, knowing what Dr. Xu said.The meaning in the words.But for some reason, he really couldn't let go of this person in his arms, and wanted to take care of him and make him heal.

But before that, he must find out what happened the night Kutong disappeared.
