Chapter 27 - 27 Twenty-six Ill carry you on my back
Chapter 27: Twenty-six, I’ll carry you on my back. Chapter 27: Twenty-six, I’ll carry you on my back. Lu Hanmo looked at Mo Shaoze with disdain and turned to Luo Shu, “Don’t be polite, if it weren’t for helping me find Ginseng, you wouldn’t have encountered the wild boar.”
“Brother Lu, I’ve already found the Ginseng, look!” Luo Shu reached into her bag and took out a Ginseng root, flaunting it in front of Lu Hanmo with a sense of accomplishment.
Upon seeing the Ginseng, Lu Hanmo’s eyes also brightened. He reached out to take the Ginseng and examined it. He found that this root was even thicker than the previous one, and its roots were more lush. He knew that this Ginseng must be older than the last one. His heart couldn’t help but surge with excitement!
“Luo Shu, you’re really lucky,” Mo Shaoze said with a face full of envy. He and Lu Hanmo had been busy for half the day and hadn’t even caught a glimpse of any Ginseng, yet Luo Shu had found such a large root.
“Of course, my luck has always been very good,” Luo Shu said proudly, raising her eyebrows.
“Yeah, otherwise how could it be that only you encountered a wild boar? And who was it just now that screamed so loudly?” Mo Shaoze teased wickedly.
Luo Shu gave Mo Shaoze a look, “Exactly, so this wild boar is mine.” She turned her head, smiling at Lu Hanmo, “Brother Lu, I’ll go back and cook wild boar meat for you to eat, we won’t give any to him.”
“Mhm!” Lu Hanmo’s lips curled up slightly into a smile.
“You two heartless guys, always bullying me, I won’t bother with you anymore,” Mo Shaoze huffed arrogantly, turning his head away.
“Who cares!” Luo Shu laughed unkindly.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on Luo Shu, cloaking her entire body in a layer of breathtaking beauty. Her little face, brimming with a radiant smile, was so beautiful at this moment that one simply could not look away.
Lu Hanmo’s heart skipped a beat, and noticing his own reaction, he slightly frowned and looked away, “It’s getting late, let’s go back.” As he spoke, he was already walking towards the wild boar.
Luo Shu reined in her smile and nodded. As she took a step, a piercing pain shot through her right ankle.
“Hiss!” Luo Shu couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
“What’s wrong?” asked Lu Hanmo and Mo Shaoze simultaneously.
“I think my foot is sprained,” Luo Shu said with a pained face, pointing to her right foot.
Lu Hanmo put down the wild boar he was about to lift, quickly came to Luo Shu’s side, and helped her sit down, “Don’t move, I’ll take a look.”
He carefully rolled up Luo Shu’s pant leg and saw her swollen ankle. Lu Hanmo’s brows furrowed, making his normally expressionless face look even more stern and daunting, “I’ll give it a twist to see if the bone is injured.”
“Okay!” Luo Shu bit her lip and softly responded, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on Lu Hanmo. His facial features were sharply defined, like they were chiseled from stone. His nose was as straight as a mountain, exuding the beauty of sculpture. Under his long eyelashes, his deep-set eyes looked indifferent, yet they carried a haughty disdain for the world.
Mo Shaoze watched from the side, a complex look in his peach blossom eyes.
As Lu Hanmo’s hands gently twisted, cold sweat slowly slid down Luo Shu’s forehead. She bit her lip tightly, saying nothing as she watched Lu Hanmo. If pain could earn his care, she was willing to endure this pain for the joy of such happiness.
Lu Hanmo looked up, just in time to meet Luo Shu’s starry eyes. Seeing the deep affection in her eyes, his heart trembled involuntarily, and his hands unwittingly applied greater force.
“Ah~” Luo Shu couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
“I’m sorry!” Lu Hanmo quickly released his hand and began to apologize.
Luo Shu endured the pain and chuckled as she shook her head, “It’s okay, I’ll just apply some medicinal wine when I get back. Let’s head home.”
Lu Hanmo nodded, offered his hand to help Luo Shu up, and seeing her wince with pain, he said, “You can’t walk like this, I’d better…”
“I’ll carry her,” Mo Shaoze interrupted Lu Hanmo. He could see that Luo Shu had feelings for Lu Hanmo, but between them, there was an insurmountable chasm. He had to remind her before her feelings for Lu Hanmo grew too deep, or else she would suffer for a lifetime.
Luo Shu was about to refuse when she heard Lu Hanmo say, “You carry the wild boar, I’ll carry Luo Shu.”
“Lu Hanmo!” Mo Shaoze looked at Lu Hanmo, his gaze carrying a hint of a reminder.
Lu Hanmo shook his head, “It’s settled.” He didn’t know why, but even though he knew it was wrong, he didn’t want to see Mo Shaoze carrying Luo Shu.
“Come on, I’ll carry you,” Lu Hanmo said, turning to Luo Shu.
Looking at Lu Hanmo’s broad back, Luo Shu’s heart began to race. She bit her lip, blushed, took a step forward, and wrapped her arms around Lu Hanmo’s neck, “Then I’ll trouble Brother Lu.”
Her soft body, carrying a faint scent, wafted from behind Lu Hanmo, causing him to be momentarily distracted. This was the first time he had been in such close contact with a girl, and the first time he had smelled such a pleasant fragrance. Do all girls have this kind of scent?
Mo Shaoze glanced at the two of them, shook his head helplessly, and resigned himself as he walked toward the wild boar.
The mountain path was winding and more difficult to traverse than the ascent.
Lu Hanmo, carrying Luo Shu, moved extremely steadily. However, the warm breath in his ear and the lingering scent at the tip of his nose constantly teased him, preventing him from settling his mind.
Luo Shu lay happily on Lu Hanmo’s back, inhaling the pleasant scent of fresh bamboo from his body. At that moment, she only wished that time could stand still forever.
“Luo Shu,” Lu Hanmo’s voice sounded faintly.
“Mm!” Luo Shu responded softly.
“I want to thank you for today. I’ll repay you for the Ginseng when I get back,” Lu Hanmo said. He was genuinely grateful to Luo Shu. If it weren’t for her Ginseng, his grandfather might not have held on for so long.
“Brother Lu, you don’t need to pay me. If you hadn’t saved me that day, I would not be alive,” she didn’t want him to treat her like a stranger.
“If you won’t take the money, I won’t take the Ginseng,” Lu Hanmo said with determination. Regardless of the circumstances, he didn’t want to take advantage of Luo Shu.
Luo Shu made a face at the back of Lu Hanmo’s head and changed the subject, “Brother Lu, may I ask what exactly is your grandfather’s illness?” In her past life, her grandfather only told her that Lu Hanmo’s grandfather was very ill, but he didn’t tell her the specific illness.
Lu Hanmo shook his head, his expression somewhat gloomy, “The doctors can’t figure out the cause.”
After a moment of thought, Luo Shu asked, “Brother Lu, have you ever heard of the Divine Doctor Family?” The Luo Family had always been very discreet in their actions; even when they were involved in worldly affairs, they seldom revealed their identity. Therefore, few people knew of the Divine Doctor Family besides a handful of individuals.
What do you think?
