From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 413: Chapter 410 You Can Only Look at Me (Three More)

Riding the cool night breeze, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng sat on a cart from Liu Family Village to Er Gui Village.

On the way, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng chatted intermittently.

It was all very ordinary stuff, but both were especially relaxed.

By the time they arrived at Er Gui Village, the moon had already risen overhead, and its bright light illuminated the ground beneath them, allowing them to see even distant scenes.

Lu Yuanfeng parked the cart behind his house, tied the horse, secured the cart, and set off with Mu Shuangshuang, carrying a burlap sack.

During the day, the vegetables they saw, by nightfall, became possessions for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

They sneaked into the cotton field and visited the vegetable patch at Ma Houhou’s house, selected a few ripe vegetables, and were about to leave when they heard faint, shaky footsteps approaching.

Mu Shuangshuang’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt scared; stealing was not exactly honorable, though they were taking things from Aunt Zhang’s house. If caught, she and Fengzi would not be able to stay in Er Gui Village.

”What do we do?” Mu Shuangshuang whispered.

Behind her, Lu Yuanfeng was much more composed than Mu Shuangshuang; he whispered, ”Shh...”

Mu Shuangshuang then really stayed silent. At that moment, the two were very close, Mu Shuangshuang snuggled entirely in Lu Yuanfeng’s arms, with Lu Yuanfeng holding her.

This posture brought a sense of security, yet also an air of intimacy.

The footsteps grew nearer, and Mu Shuangshuang’s body curled up even tighter.

At this point, regardless of who was coming, neither of them was safe.

Suddenly, a ”bang” was heard as if the person had fallen to the ground. Mu Shuangshuang craned her neck for a while but did not see the person get up.

”Drunk? Or dead?” Mu Shuangshuang asked in a lowered voice.

Lu Yuanfeng frowned; he also didn’t dare to go out. But they couldn’t possibly stay like this all night; if discovered, it would be even more troublesome.

Lu Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment and stood up. Mu Shuangshuang’s hand promptly held onto him.

”Fengzi, don’t go!”

”Don’t worry, you wait here. If I don’t call you, don’t come out.” Lu Yuanfeng soothed Mu Shuangshuang like a child.

This made Mu Shuangshuang want to laugh, but considering Lu Yuanfeng had spent a few years in the military and could handle situations on his own, she felt reassured.

After a while, Lu Yuanfeng began to call Mu Shuangshuang softly.

She slowly approached Lu Yuanfeng, and as she got closer, a strong smell of blood assailed her, causing Mu Shuangshuang to frown.

”What is this...”

”This person isn’t from our village and is severely wounded. What do you say we...”

Lu Yuanfeng left the decision to Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t even think before shaking her head. ”Don’t save him; if he’s a bad person, it’ll be trouble.”

”Even if he’s not a bad person, if he dies, we can’t stay clear of it either.”

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were just common folks; no matter what, getting involved in unclear matters wouldn’t benefit them.

Lu Yuanfeng also felt Mu Shuangshuang made sense. As the saying goes, mind your own business when out and about.

Especially for local matters at their doorstep, getting involved was even less advisable. They couldn’t leave Er Gui Village for a stranger.

After figuring this out, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng returned to the field to carry the vegetables. Passing by the man, Mu Shuangshuang was still cautious, but even then, she was caught by the suddenly awake person grabbing her ankle.

Mu Shuangshuang was startled and already prepared to kick the person, but who would’ve thought the man would speak.

”Help me... I won’t cause you trouble...”

The man’s voice was very weak, but Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng heard it.

This caused both of them to face another dilemma, Lu Yuanfeng searched the man thoroughly but found nothing.

”Shuangshuang, this man doesn’t have anything to prove his identity.”

Moreover, Lu Yuanfeng felt the fabric of the man’s clothes didn’t belong to ordinary families, and his physique suggested he was a martial artist.

”How about this, Fengzi, take him to your back mountain. Didn’t we set up a rest spot for the chicks there? If anything happens, we just won’t admit it; he didn’t enter either of our houses anyway.”

”Okay!”

Lu Yuanfeng carried the man to the back mountain, incense of mosquito-repellent herbs, lit the lamp, and placed him in the resting shed, then found some tools at home and, with Mu Shuangshuang, gathered in the shed.

”Shuangshuang, turn your back,” Lu Yuanfeng suddenly said seriously.

”Ah?” Mu Shuangshuang was stunned, not quite understanding.

Who would’ve known Lu Yuanfeng would blush and say, ”I need to take off his clothes, you can’t look; if you want to look, you can only look at mine.”

”...”

This time, Mu Shuangshuang blushed too.

This silly boy, does he always have to speak like this... this openly?

However, even if he hadn’t said it, Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t look at someone else’s chest.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang obediently turn around, Lu Yuanfeng felt relieved.

He untied the man’s bloodied clothes, using clean cotton cloth soaked with alcohol. Upon careful observation, the man had four major wounds, all from knives.

Not fatal but lost a lot of blood.

The parts wiped with cotton cloth revealed the man’s robust chest, even in a coma, the strong alcohol stimulus still caused him to sweat profusely.

Having cleaned the wounds, Lu Yuanfeng began to apply medicine, carrying golden sore medicine being a habit Lu Yuanfeng developed in the military camp, and even now, was not forgotten.

By the time the man’s injuries were treated, it was already past midnight.

People from the Third Branch of the Mu Family had long been anxious.

”Shuangshuang’s mother, do you think Fengzi can protect our daughter? It’s so late,” Mu Dashan anxiously said, his eyes red.

Er Gui Village isn’t too far from Liu Family Village, why haven’t they returned yet?

”Brother-in-law, shall I go to the village entrance to look?”

As the currently strongest man in the third branch, Yu Liulang stood up to take on the task of finding her.

”I’ll go too!” said Mu Xiaohan, who had stayed up all night to stay awake.

Yuanbao and Little Zhi had already fallen asleep.

They were the most relaxed in the family, not worrying about much.

”Alright, let’s go look together,” said Yu Liulang.

Yu Si Niang also wanted to follow, but Yu Liulang was worried about Shuangshuang returning without anyone at home to inform them.

Unbeknownst to them, as they reached the side gate of the courtyard, Mu Shuangshuang had returned.

”Uncle? Xiao Han, where are you going?” Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng hastened back, luckily catching Yu Liulang before he left, or who knows how long they’d be fussing before resting.

”Shuangshuang, you’re finally back; we were worried sick!”
