nChapter 7 Temporarily Staying At The Mother God Temple

nSeeing this, Gu Chengrui coldly glanced at Mrs. Liu. After seeing her retreat, he took Zhou Ying’s bag from her and left.

nZhou Ying immediately followed him. When she saw him coughing non-stop, she quickly took out a small bottle of cough syrup from her interspace and handed it to him. “Rui, you should drink a bottle of cough syrup first.”

nGu Chengrui looked at the small medicine bottle in front of him. He grabbed her hand and scanned their surroundings.

nAfter making sure that no one was paying attention, he whispered, “Hurry up and put it away. I can still hold it in. After we have settled down, I’ll just get two bottles of IV into me.”

nHearing this, Zhou Ying put the cough syrup back into her interspace and said, “Alright then, don’t force yourself.”

n“Don’t worry. I’m much better after taking medicine this morning. ”

n“By the way, where are we going?”

n“You know about the Mother God Temple halfway up the mountain, right?”

nZhou Ying nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve seen that before. Although it’s a little shabby, it’s a good place to stay for the time being after some simple cleaning.”

nThus, the two of them helped each other up the mountain.

nWhen they arrived at the Mother God Temple, Gu Chengrui was coughing so much that he could not stand up straight.

nZhou Ying glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, she said, “Rui, you can’t delay your illness any longer. I’ll send you into my interspace to get two IV bottles into you.”

nAfter Zhou Ying finished speaking, she immediately looked around to ensure no one was nearby. Then, she helped him into the Mother God Temple.

nShe helped him to the back of a statue and brought him into the space, reaching the villa they had built by the river.

nAfter helping Gu Chengrui lie down on the bed, Zhou Ying asked him for a list of his needed medicines. Then, she went to the warehouse to prepare the medicines, put him on an IV drip, and made him a cup of honey water as he requested.

nAfter his condition had stabilized, she took a bucket of water and a broom from the space.

nAfter that, she cleaned up the Mother God Temple, which was close to a hundred square feet in size, and sprayed a large amount of disinfectant.

nAfter cleaning up, Zhou Ying looked at the statue of the Mother God that had been weathered, all shabby looking. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt sad and thought the statue looked dear to her.

n“I have no choice but to stay here. Sorry for the disturbance,” she bowed respectfully.

nAfterward, she took a rope from her interspace and went outside to pick up some firewood. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if someone found out that there were no signs of them living in the temple.

nAfter she came out, she realized that the river running through the village was right below the Mother God Temple. This was a good place, with a mountain next to a river.

nThen, she went directly up the mountain but did not get much firewood. Instead, she found a small nest of licorice, which she dug out and tied up.

nAfter she was done digging, her stomach began to growl. She carried the licorice on her back and returned to the Mother God Temple.

nAfter putting down the firewood, she walked behind the statue and stayed there for a while. After making sure that no one was nearby, she entered her interspace with the licorice.

nAs soon as she arrived at the villa’s entrance, she smelled the fragrance of cooking meat. She quickly put down the licorice and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

nThen, she turned around and walked into the kitchen. When she saw the busy figure inside, she walked over and put her arms around his waist from behind. “Why didn’t you wait for me to come back? You’re still coughing so badly. You shouldn’t be inhaling the smell of smoke.”

n“I had nothing to do, so I stir-fried a plate of veggies and pressure cooked some pork ribs along with corn soup.” Gu Chengrui smiled and turned his head.

nThen, he looked up, picked up a dead leaf on her head, and said, “Hurry up and set up the table. We’ll be eating soon.”

n“Yes, sir.” Zhou Ying responded, turned around, and took two sets of bowls and chopsticks. She carried the garlic-flavored veggies to the dining room.

nOn the other hand, Gu Chengrui had also finished cooking. He placed the ribs into the soup and followed her.

nAfter that, they sat down and had a good meal. After the meal, Gu Chengrui took a tissue from the side and handed it to her. “Baby, did you get anything from the mountain?”
