bending over to catch her breath when Lu Junming came running over, “What happened?”

As Lu Junming was from the same village as them, Mo Yan’s second grandma pleaded him for help, “Yan’er has cut her hand, please help her.” She sat down panting heavily, having exhausted herself a long time ago.

When Lu Junming saw that there was blood all over her hands, he also became worried and tried to help her walk, but Mo Yan was too exhausted to walk a single step.
So Lu Junming bent down and offered her a piggyback ride.

Mo Yan felt that it was inappropriate to let a boy carry her, but she really couldn’t walk anymore.
She looked around and saw that there was no one around them, so she accepted his offer.

Lu Junming carried her on his back and ran quickly towards his home, but Mo Yan stopped her anxiously, “Go to Mr.
Cao’s instead.”

“We have golden sore medicine at home which is really good for healing cuts.”

Mo Yan couldn’t do anything to stop him so just decided to go along with it.

Soon they arrived at the Lu family’s small courtyard, where Sir Lu was sitting under the tree in their courtyard drinking tea.

Lu Junming put Mo Yan down and sat her down on a small stool.
He brought clean water and wiped her hands gently with a handkerchief.
He said, “Grandpa, could you bring the golden sore medicine? Mo Yan’s injured.”

Sir Lu went to fetch the medicine.
After wiping away the dirt, Lu Junming unravelled the bandages.
As Sir Lu retrieved the medicine and bandages, uncorked the small porcelain bottle containing the medicine and put the paste on Mo Yan’s wound.

“This was a deep cut.
I could see the bone underneath.”

After applying the medicine, Sir Lu was changing her bandages as Mo Yan’s second grandma arrived, out of breath.

“Don’t delay any further, let’s go to Mr.
Cao!”

Sir Lu finished changing the bandages as he replied calmly, “Don’t worry, we’ve already applied medicine to her wound.
I’m not sure Mr.
Cao even has golden sore medicine.”

“I forgot that the Lu family is a military family.
Of course you have good medicine for treating wounds.”

Lu Junming gently wiped Mu Yan’s forehead with a handkerchief and poured her a cup of tea, “I haven’t seen you at the pond all morning, what have you been doing, and why are you in this state?”

“My second grandma led me to a beautiful place with lots of medicinal herbs.
I’ll take you there some day.” There was no sign of pain on her face, and she even looked happy, which eased Lu Junming’s heart.

“Does it hurt?” Lu Junming asked concernedly.

“No.”

“The wound is so big.
How can it not hurt? Stay here and rest for a while!”

“No, I have to earn more money so that my sister won’t have to work as hard.”

Although Lu Junming was born to a mistress, he had never worried about money in his life.
He couldn’t imagine what it’d be like to not have three square meals every day.

“At least let me walk you home!”

“There’s no need.
It’s my hand, not my foot that’s injured.
Remember to come to my house for dinner tonight.”

When he heard that the Mo family was inviting Lu Junming to dinner, Sir Lu asked, “Why are you inviting my grandson over for dinner?”

“Because my brother offended him two days ago and my mother wanted to invite him to dinner to make amends.”

“It’s just a squabble amongst kids! You don’t need to invite them over to dinner to make amends.”

“Sir Lu, come with us! My mum’s already prepared everything.”

“I won’t go, it’s time for the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family to come and cook.” [1]

As she spoke, Mrs.
Zhang entered and asked Lu Junming what he wanted to eat with a smile on her face.
Lu Junming said, “You can decide.
I need to take Yan’er back home first.”

Post-edit notes: This is probably a build-up to the big dinner scene in the next chapter.
See you then!
[1] That’s just how Sir Lu calls Mrs.
Zhang.
