Although Xie Rong had received help from the couple Qin Yu, his injuries were real and quite severe. He fainted by the roadside, and it was Hong Dou who found him. She brought him back to her home and called for a doctor.
The expenses were covered by his silver.
Even the carriage they later acquired was paid for with his silver.
Upon their departure, he gave a hundred taels, hoping to settle accounts with the silver, but they insisted on escorting him to Gaocheng County. Since his injuries had not fully healed, he agreed to their company.
However, Hong Dou continuously tried to be by his side. At first, he hadn't understood why, but now he saw it clearly.
She obviously had designs on him.
"Hmm," he responded indifferently, distancing himself from Hong Dou.
It wasn't that the girl wasn't pretty or that she reeked, he simply didn't like her.
Hong Dou certainly felt his aversion.
