C142 (1/2)

On the bed, Mo Ranran mumbled in a daze, ”Water, water.”

Upon seeing this, Jing Ruxuan, who had been standing guard the whole time, immediately poured Mo Ranran a cup of water. Since she had never taken care of anyone before, she slowly and gently helped him stand up, and carefully poured the water into his mouth bit by bit.

As a bowl of water was poured, Mo Ranran gradually opened his eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him and the Jing Ruxuan who had a face full of worry, he asked softly, ”Where am I?” The weak voice was hoarse from waking up.

Jing Ruxuan slowly opened his mouth and said: ”This is an aunt's home for farmers under the hunting grounds. Daddy and I have been staying at her house for the past few days.”

Ever since that day they left the mountain, she and Uncle Geng had been living with this aunt. After her father found her, they both stayed here.

”Where's Zhang Heng?” As the memories returned to him, Mo Ranran wanted to get off the bed to look for Zhang Heng.

Jing Ruxuan grabbed Mo Ranran's shoulder and pushed her back onto the bed.

Don't look at how soft and weak Jing Ruxuan was. After all, she had a body full of flesh, and adding that Mo Ranran's body was still weak, she was actually unable to get up after being pressed by Jing Ruxuan.

”Ranran, your leg injuries have not healed yet, you can't get off the bed. Zhang Heng is fine, he is resting in the other room.” Last night, when Zhang Heng appeared here covered in blood, Uncle Geng had almost treated him as a person of Other Shore Palace and wanted to kill him. Luckily, father recognized Zhang Heng and hence, they did not start a fight.

Knowing that Zhang Heng was alright, Mo Ranran slowly let out a breath in his heart. As if he had thought of something, Mo Ranran lifted his eyes to look at Jing Ruxuan.

”Then what about Ding Tao?” The low voice carried a trace of anticipation and nervousness.

”Who is Ding Tao? I don't know him? ” Jing Ruxuan recalled that she indeed did not know a person called Ding Tao.

Mo Ranran took in Jing Ruxuan's expression. After knowing that she really did not know Jing Ruxuan, he then laid down obediently and did not struggle anymore.

Jing Ruxuan looked at Mo Ranran, and asked quietly: ”Ranran, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. ”

Mo Ranran listened and nodded.

”Then wait for me here for a while, I'll go get it for you. Your foot injury hasn't healed yet, you're not allowed to sneak off the bed with me on your back.” Afraid that Mo Ranran would secretly climb out of bed with her on his back, Jing Ruxuan couldn't be at ease when playing the game.

Mo Ranran smiled lightly at Jing Ruxuan, and said gently: ”Alright, look at me, do you think I can get up?”

The simple Jing Ruxuan believed Mo Ranran's words and left with ease.

After Jing Ruxuan left, Mo Ranran lifted the blanket and looked at his bandaged leg, trying to step on it. Other than moving, the injured parts of his body were stinging, and it didn't affect his walking.

When Jing Ruxuan came to the front of Mo Ranran's house with the cooked rice porridge in his hands and looked at the opened door, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly walked in and found that the bed was empty.

Jing Ruxuan panicked and placed the porridge on the table, then walked out of Mo Ranran's house.

Jing Ruxuan shouted as he ran: ”Daddy, Uncle Geng, Ranran is gone.”

”Didn't father tell you to look at her? Why is it gone? ” Prime Minister Jing who heard the commotion came out from the house. Looking at his daughter's anxious face, he frowned.

”Ranran woke up. I asked her if she was hungry, she said that she was hungry, so I went to bring her some rice porridge. Who knew that after I left for a while, Ranran had disappeared.” As she spoke, Jing Ruxuan's voice carried a hint of a sobbing tone.

”Butler Geng, take some people with you to look for her. Her leg is injured, so she shouldn't be far away.” After a brief inquiry, Prime Minister Jing sent Uncle Geng to look for someone.

Just then, Zhang Heng walked out of the house, looked at Butler Geng and said, ”I know where she is.”

When Prime Minister Jing heard this, he said, ”Then I'll have Uncle Geng bring some people to go with you.”

Zhang Heng looked at the location of the hunting grounds, then turned to Prime Minister Jing and said: ”No need, I will go there alone. You guys can provoke her.”
