Chapter 44: 担心他的伤

[Worry about his injury]

At that very moment Chen Xing spoke out, Gu Lang’s movements paused for a moment, and as if nothing had happened, he then bent down to pick up the kitten that didn’t dare to move on the ground before turning back towards Chen Xing and revealing a smile, “Why did you come over?”

Chen Xing looked at the gentle smile on his face as always, and then looked at the kitten in his arms, scratched his head, and stumbled a little as he said, “I’ve finished cooking, and I’ve come to ask you to eat! I just didn’t expect Xue Qiu to be here as well.”

As he said that, Chen Xing looked towards the kitten in Gu Lang’s arms, his eyes revealing a few moments of doubt. He clearly remembered that Xue Qiu didn’t really like to be close to Gu Lang ah!

Sensing Chen Xing’s confused emotions, Gu Lang looked down at the kitten in his arms, which had not dared to move a muscle since he had carried it into his arms, his eyes staring straight at Chen Xing, so he hooked his lips, “I didn’t expect that either.”

After Gu Lang finished these words, he gently raised an eyebrow, then handed the cat in his arms to Chen Xing in front of him, and said indifferently, “Here, you can hold it! I assume that the kitten really doesn’t like me to hold it.”

When Gu Lang said this, the kitten that had originally looked like a fake cat in Gu Lang’s arms,wriggled its soft body and dropped its head in Chen Xing’s arms, aiming its fluffy buttocks in Gu Lang’s direction.

Chen Xing looked at Xue Qiu’s behavior, and immediately felt angry and funny, he always felt that Xue Qiu was doing it on purpose. But then he felt a little strange, Xue Qiu usually looked up, always with a soft look, anyone can touch him yet why in the gentle hands of Gu Lang, the kitten will be so resistant?

Chen Xing thought like this, he also naturally said it out loud.

After Gu Lang heard it, he looked at the spoiled kitten in his arms, so he said softly: “Perhaps I do not attract small animals to like me ba!”

After saying that, Gu Lang shifted his gaze back to Chen Xing’s confused face and smiled at him, “Didn’t you say that the meal is ready? Let’s go over and eat, or it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”

Chen Xing blinked for a moment, feeling that the change of topic was a bit sudden, but he still nodded along, agreeing to his proposal. Before leaving, he looked down at the kitten in his arms, patted its furry buttocks, and instructed in a low voice, “You can’t be so egois in the future. You have to get along with all the members of the family!”

Xue Qiu gave a small ‘meow’ and buried its head a little more into Chen Xing’s arms, looking very aggrieved.

Gu Lang watched Chen Xing’s movements, and his eyes couldn’t help but darken a few points when his eyes slid down to the pampered cat in Chen Xing’s arms.

Only when it was time to eat did Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu realize that the fish soup and minced pork and tofu for today’s dinner were all easy-to-swallow dishes, and even the rice was two or three points softer than usual.

Watching Gu Lang try a few mouthfuls without any discomfort, Chen Xing revealed a bright smile on his face, “How is it? Do today’s dishes taste good?”

Gu Lang subconsciously nodded his head when he heard this, and after a few seconds of silence, he then said, “Everything you made today was delicious, it’s just that today’s cooking is extraordinarily tasty.”

The smile on Chen Xing’s face grew wider and wider, after all, he felt that it was still a very happy thing to have something that he had worked so hard to make, recognised by the person in question.

Looking at Chen Xing who was about to smile into a flower, and Gu Lang who was looking at him with doting eyes next to him, Qiu Jiu who was also sitting at the same table for dinner couldn’t help but shiver and shake off goosebumps.

When Qiu Jiu came back to his senses, he felt an unkind gaze, he turned his head to see his own young master staring at him in silence. That line of sight had no emotion but was very intimidating, making Qiu Jiu silently shrink his neck.

Fortunately, Chen Xing’s timely voice saved him, only to hear him say with a somewhat trembling voice, “Gu Lang, the wound on your neck, it seems to be bleeding.”

Gu Lang looked at the worried Chen Xing, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, reached out and touched his own neck, smiled lightly, not very concerned as he said, “That’s all the blood that came out just now, the bleeding has stopped now, when I go back to change the gauze, it will be fine.”

Chen Xing pursed his lips and stared at Gu Lang’s neck for a while, and after realizing that the oozing blood had indeed almost dried up, he breathed a little sigh of relief.

However, soon Chen Xing remembered that medicine in this era was not developed, and Gu Lang’s health was not well, and most importantly, the weather was still hot, so he could not help but say with some concern; “When you change the gauze, remember to put some medicine on yourself or else if it became inflammation, then it will be troublesome.”

Gu Lang originally wanted to say that this was just a small wound, use two gauze and it would heal itself. But after coming into contact with Chen Xing’s worried and uneasy eyes, the words on his lips turned into a soft sigh, “Okay.”

Though, Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s eyes that lit up all of a sudden because he had listened to his words, he also smiled along with him.

At the feudal official office,

Several officials are escorting four people in tattered clothes towards the cell, and when you look closely you can still see the bloodstains from the torture on those people.

Looking at the closed cell door in front of him, the chief official pushed it open with a force, and then gloomy and cold air came directly to his face.

The official looked like he was used to it, and said to the several people behind him, “Hurry up and come in!” After saying that, he raised his foot and took the lead to walk in.

Originally sitting at the door chatting and eating peanuts of the two officials, at the sight of several officials came in, they immediately stood up, somewhat afraid as they said, “Captain!”

The leading official swept them up and down, looking at the pot-stewed meat and peanuts on their table that hadn’t been able to pack it up yet, and said with an impatient face, “Come on, as long as you guys don’t drink wine here and only eat a little bit of food, I won’t care about you guys! Is Guan the matchmaker here? There are four prisoners here now, one female and three males who all need to be put in the prison.”

“Yes, there is.” That yamen attendant responded in this manner while looking over to the side of those officials, and sure enough, he saw Boss Qiao who, even though she was in a sorry state, still showed a bit of flirty feeling in one glance.

The captain looked at him and loudly chided, “Open the door quickly, don’t dilly dallying here!”

“Yes, yes.” That Yamen attendant didn’t dare to say anything more and took down the key on his waist to open the door of the cell in front of him, followed by a stinking fishy stench coming out from inside.

These Yamen looked like they had been used to it for a long time, gently fanning their noses. They continued to walk inside, first passing by a cell, inside were all prisoners who looked numb and lifeless in the face, seeing them come in, they also looked untouched and indifferent.

Waiting until they found an empty cell, the officials threw three of the men into it, and then pulled the only woman, Boss Qiao, to continue walking inside.

Boss Qiao, who was dragged and forced to stand up by the officials, looked at the long corridor that seemed to have no end, and didn’t even dare to imagine what she would suffer, and she now regretted it very much in her heart. She felt that she didn’t dare to move that kind of mind, and if she didn’t move that state of mind, then she wouldn’t have turned into what she is now.

Just as Boss Qiao was regretting her actions, they had already arrived at an open and spacious small inner yard. There was a woman in her early thirties sitting leisurely on a chair, seeing them come raised her eyelids before slowly standing up.

The leader of the group looked at the woman and said in a loud voice, “Guan Matchmaker, this is the new female inmate, keep an eye on her.”

The woman looked at Boss Qiao and didn’t ask her what the offense was, nodding, she went straight over and pulled her to push open the back of that small door.

Boss Qiao stumbled as he pulled her, the shackles on her hands and feet making it impossible for her to do anything to fight back until that woman roughly shoved her into the cell.

Caught off guard, Boss Qiao fell hard to the floor, bruising her hands.

Boss Qiao waited angrily for the woman, only to hear the woman let out a cold laugh and said contemptuously, “What? You think you can still live as comfortably as you normally do when you’re here?”

In the face of the woman’s mean taunts, Boss Qiao first froze slightly, then lowered her head as if resigned to her fate.

As the woman looked at her, the sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth grew stronger, in her place, she had never seen anyone so disobedient. Even if they were disobedient now, they would be honest after a while.

Just as Guan Matchmaker turned to leave this dirty place, she suddenly heard an unfamiliar female voice from behind, “Can you help me?”
