Chapter 1441: Updated: Chapter 1438 Descending the Mountain
She felt very complicated for a moment, with many things she wanted to ask him.
It was silent all around, only the sound of the rain pattering outside the cave could be heard, as time passed by.
An hour later, the heavy rain stopped.
Liu Zhe appeared disheveled at the cave entrance, his gaze meeting Huo Hongyan who also looked towards him upon hearing the noise, both of them froze for a moment.
“Let’s descend the mountain first; the people are at the temple,” Liu Zhe explained in a low voice.
Huo Hongyan immediately stood up, gathered her belongings, and held Huo Hao in her arms.
Liu Zhe looked at Ru Mo.
Ru Mo understood instantly, hurriedly walked over: “Miss Huo, this servant is a man, with more strength, let me help carry Young Master Huo.”
Huo Hongyan moved her lips, about to refuse.
Liu Zhe seemed to guess what she was going to say, his slightly hoarse voice carrying a hint of gentleness: “Miss Huo, it’s difficult to descend the mountain, Ru Mo has also practiced some martial arts, he can take good care of Young Master Huo.”
“Thank you, Young Master Liu.” Huo Hongyan no longer refused his kindness.
Liu Zhe turned around to lead the way.
Huo Hongyan couldn’t help but let her gaze fall on him, seeing the dirt on his body, and the dark spots on the back and legs of his clothes, she suddenly asked: “Young Master Liu, are you injured?”
Ru Mo quickly raised his head, “Young Master, you, are you alright?”
Liu Zhe’s somewhat awkward step paused, not sure what he thought of, a smile briefly flashed across his mouth, appearing and disappearing as if it had never been there, he shook his head: “No, just slipped and fell.”
Huo Hongyan opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but realized she had no position to ask, especially since the other party clearly refused to answer the question.
Descending the mountain was indeed harder than climbing up.
Huo Hongyan almost tripped several times due to the embroidered shoes she wore, luckily Qing He was beside her to support her in time.
Seemingly sensing her embarrassment, Liu Zhe’s steps obviously slowed down, occasionally saying: “There are stones here, Ru Mo, be careful.”
Ru Mo nodded dumbly, thinking his martial arts were not for nothing, he wouldn’t trip, but he wouldn’t argue in front of outsiders.
Huo Hongyan listened to his steady and meticulous voice, her mind buzzing, her cheeks a little hot, always feeling that his words were meant to remind her.
After an hour, they finally descended the mountain.
Huo Hongyan sat in a guest room prepared by the temple for the incense guests, frowning as she looked at her feet. She considered herself not a fragile woman, but the descent today had caused her feet to develop blisters, which had popped and bled without her realizing it.
Qing He, seeing this, was startled and quickly went to the temple host to get medicine.
Soon, Qing He came back.
“Why so fast?” Huo Hongyan was somewhat puzzled.
Qing He smiled and explained: “It was Young Master Liu who had Ru Mo prepare the ointment early, hearing that this servant needed it, he gave it to me, and said the temple would send ginger soup over shortly.”
Huo Hongyan reached out: “Give it to me.”
“Young miss, let this servant apply it.”
“No need, you go comb your hair and clean yourself up too.” Huo Hongyan took the ointment, feeling her palm heat up, thinking of something, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
Opening the ointment, seeing the familiar ointment, how could she not understand that this was the Liu Family’s special external injury ointment.
Liu Zhe always did things steadily, bringing ointment and other daily necessities with him when he went out.
Smelling the familiar medicinal scent, Huo Hongyan felt like she had returned to a past life.
Applying the ointment, Huo Hongyan changed into new shoes, and quickly brought Xiao Hao to Liu Zhe’s door.
