Chapter 74

(24.2)

On the way towards the settlement, the gloominess and anger on Li Mang’s face gradually faded away, but his eyebrows were still furrowed. Feeling her squirming in his arms, he looked down at her, but ignored her, and just continued to walk forward.

Mu Qing saw countless eyes looking towards her, and felt a little awkward. Fortunately, his steps were big, and he very quickly left people’s eyes behind.

He carried her into the hut and put her down on the animal skin, before turning around and going out. After a while, he came back in, holding a bowl in his hand. There were pounded medicinal herbs turned into a pulp inside. He squatted beside her, and carefully applied the herbs on her ankle, and then he used a small animal skin to wrap up her ankle, and then gently massaged it. After doing this, he went out.

Mu Qing ate the meal Naduo brought her, listened to her ramble for a while, while occasionally responding to her with a simple syllable she learned, as the sky gradually grew dark.

Naduo left, but Li Mang still wasn’t back.

Mu Qing waited for him, up until the moonlight was casting its light a few inches in front of her feet. According to her experience, it was around after ten o’clock at night by this time. It was considered very late here.

Mu Qing kept thinking of the scene that happened by the stream in the evening.

Li Mang carried her back and gently applied the medicine on her, as if he was afraid of hurting her, but she never saw his face relax.

It was as if he was avoiding her gaze.

This was the first time she had seen him look like this in almost a month of time being with him. Besides, he was not returning even though it was this late. Before, even if they did nothing, he always liked to stick to her.

She knew he was probably still very angry.

At first, she thought he was angry about Yi Jia’s actions, and that maybe he needed to be alone to calm down.

But now, she suddenly had a thought, Li Mang, could he have misunderstood her too? After all, the scene he saw at that time, was Yi Jia sitting on top of her, and she was not resisting. In the eyes of onlookers, it would look like the two of them were gazing at each other’s eyes.

Mu Qing’s heart slowly became uneasy and she started to worry because of this thought.
